"Don't dare? Zi Weixing fell, and the star in front of my heart changed. You don't know how happy he was when he saw the words on this stone tablet. ”

The emperor's eyes were dark and bottomless, and his deep voice shook the entire Chonghua Hall with overwhelming momentum.

This sentence, I'm afraid this is what he wants in his heart, maybe he is now waiting for the prophecy on the stone tablet to come true in the East Palace, waiting for me to drive the crane to the west, so as to inherit my country. ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is not such a person, why don't you want to believe him again?"

The queen closed her eyes heavily, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

On one side is her husband and on the other side is her son, but the two people closest to her have been dissimilar ever since.

She couldn't scold her son, nor did she want to blame her husband, so she could only use the softest words of a wife to dissolve the knot full of knots.

"Queen, so much time has passed since what happened, and he hasn't even explained a word, how can I still believe him. ”

The emperor spoke very slowly, and the helplessness and pain in his eyes deeply pierced the queen's heart, and the queen took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you can't listen to anything you say now, but the concubine still wants to gamble with you. ”

"What does the queen want to bet on?" the emperor lowered his voice.

"The concubine wants to gamble, whether the prince has the heart to rebel or not, we will take this as a game. The queen's eyes were as deep as night, and her eyes were full of self-deprecation.

"Do you still need to gamble if you have the heart of rebellion, the rebel has already brought the stone back to the East Palace like a baby, and his heart of Sima Zhao has long been known to passers-by. ”

The emperor's fingertips trembled, and he slapped the carved agarwood table with his weather-beaten hand, as if he wanted to wake up the queen's heart that was still intoxicated.

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the appearance of this stele is accidental or artificial, we might as well ignore it for the time being, and use this stele as a touchstone to see the prince's reaction. ”

The queen didn't want to argue with the emperor anymore, but said what she thought was right.

If the prince did not behave abnormally after seeing the stele, it means that he was not confused by the words on the stele, which is enough to prove the prince's innocence. ”

No matter when, as a mother, the queen always believes in the prince unconditionally, even if the prince is no longer a child in his arms.

"If he really did something rebellious, would the queen have to bear the consequences? The emperor said coldly.

"The concubine is willing to guarantee the queen's position, if the prince really does something rebellious, the concubine voluntarily hands over the phoenix seal. ”

The queen knelt on her knees, crossed her hands on her chest, and every word was very solemn.

"The queen has to think clearly. ”

"The concubine has thought very clearly, I believe in our son. ”

The queen had already thought it through, and she had already made this decision the moment she came to Chonghua Palace.

"Okay, I bet with you, but after this bet begins, you are not allowed to see the prince again, and since it is a test for him, you are not allowed to help him privately. ”

The emperor sighed, and could only temporarily follow the queen's wishes, hoping that the prince would really be as open as the queen said.

"The emperor can rest assured that the concubine is in slightly ill health, and she should recuperate well in the Lizheng Palace. ”

The queen knelt down on her knees and bowed to the emperor, everything in the past seemed to be still in front of her, but the result of the incident made the queen feel cold.

"It's all the concubines who teach him, and the concubines are willing to hand over the phoenix seal, and they hope that the emperor will forgive the prince. ”

Before the queen came, she had already prepared the phoenix seal, and the prince did such a thing, and he himself was in the back seat.

"If you can't raise your godfather, how can you be blamed alone, the prince has grown up, and he is generous and sensible in front of me and you, but I really can't think about the things I did behind my back. ”

The emperor shook his head and showed a wry smile, being a good emperor is far more difficult than being a good father.

"Jue'er's nature is not bad, maybe it's just that the position of the prince is too heavy, which made him change his mind and come to this point. ”

The queen sighed, knelt down on the side of the small table, took the utensils in the emperor's hand, and continued to make tea.

"For so many years, I have been turning a blind eye to what he has done, but he has not known how to restrain himself, and his behavior has become more and more perverse. ”

The emperor's face trembled with anger, and the anger on his resolute face could not be contained.

"Now that he is still dissatisfied with his identity as the crown prince and begins to covet the throne, should he kill his father and kill the king next?"

"No, no, he is our son, our eldest son, and my only son, he will not do such a rebellious thing, he may just ...... I just don't know what to do. ”

The queen's voice became smaller and smaller, she gave up the quarrel, and closed her eyes in despair, even if she still believed that the prince was of any use, but the emperor was already dead.

Even if he is let go this time, next time, next time, once there is a suspicion, all the feelings will be exhausted one day.

At that time, the emperor will not have half of his affection for the prince, and when the time comes, not only the prince's position, but even the prince's life will not be saved.

"Since the emperor has already made a decision, why hesitate?"

The queen opened her eyes and looked at the emperor with burning eyes, these things still have to be faced after all, it is only a matter of time.

"You...... Don't intercede for him?" the emperor looked at the people around him with half-squinted eyes, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

The moonlight is like water, the stars are dim, and the night is destined to be sleepless.

The candles in the room were about to run out, and in the flickering room, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by the window.

Xie Fuyao had something in her heart, she was already sleeping shallowly, this abnormal movement made her completely sleepless, and Xie Fuyao didn't dare to act rashly with her back outside, so she could only prick up her ears and listen carefully to the abnormalities around her.

"Since you're awake, let's chat with this king. ”

The warm voice is like a mountain stream slowly descending, but this stream seems to be unable to find a river to meet, and it is alone in the mountains.

Xie Fu shook his spirit, sat up suddenly, turned his head to look at the table, and pulled the cloak from the side and draped it on his body.

The moon-white robe seemed to be dyed with lead by the moonlight, shining in the candlelight.

"Lord, what's wrong, is something wrong with the prince?"

There was only the flickering candle on the table in the whole room, and Xie Fuyao walked to Wei Jingyao's side step by step.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither of them took the initiative to light another candle.
