The tea in the teacup on the stone case has long been cold, but it has never been drunk, Jin Xiangrong is holding a folding fan in his hand, playing with it for a while, with a thoughtful expression, quietly listening to Nuan Jin's narration of those dusty old things.

"I really can't imagine that this matter can also bring out the secrets of the palace, so look at it, Lin Xiao and Cen Run are brothers, and Chaohua is their brother, but how can my father not know? If you already know about it, why not prevent it from happening? ”

Nuan Jin also didn't understand that the affairs of the court were not something that those of them who had been raised in the boudoir could touch: "Maybe there are still some things in this that are not for outsiders?" Or did my father have some scruples? ”

Jin Xiangrong shook his head: "What is certain is that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. ”

Nuan Jin frowned: "The longer my brother is in the Correctional Department, the more panicked I become, and I don't know what his injuries are." ”

"Don't worry about this, I have already taken care of it, and I have quietly sent Imperial Doctor Lou in for His Royal Highness's diagnosis and treatment, and now it should be no big problem to take the medicine, but His Royal Highness is very depressed, I think it is the betrayal of Yan Hehuan and the suspicion of his father."

Nuan Jin sighed: "Sensei said that my brother is sad, and I will be heartbroken." ”

Jin Xiangrong felt sorry for her, and took her over: "You don't have to worry with me, I have already sent Nanling's secret guards here, they will investigate this matter thoroughly, you can rest assured, they are the most well-trained guards, and they are also the highest level in Nanling, compared to the imperial guards around your father, they are also equal, they do things, it won't be long before they come, they will have eyebrows." ”

Nuan Jin felt relieved and worried: "Is this okay?" Did you tell King Nanling about calling the secret guard? Will it cause trouble for you Nanling? ”

Nanling has been the emperor for generations, and the kings of Nanling in the past dynasties are also people who keep to themselves, this time because she was involved in the affairs of the government, she really felt a little guilty.

Jin Xiangrong smiled, his chin rested on the top of Nuan Jin's hair, and rubbed it twice with pity: "Fool, do you and I still need to talk about this?" Don't say a few secret guards, it's my life, if you want to fill it, I won't hesitate at all. ”

Nuan Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "I am used to oily and slippery." Fu sighed again, "What else can I do now?" Sitting like this every day really makes me anxious. ”

"I understand, it's just that the current political situation is not clear, yesterday I heard that there were many adults in the early dynasty who were on the fold, saying that His Royal Highness was treasonous, harboring the princess of the enemy country, and there was a suspicion of seeking power and usurping the throne, and asked to abolish the crown prince, although the father did not agree, but he did not reprimand them for talking nonsense."

Nuan Jin looked at Jin Xiangrong nervously: "What does this mean?" ”

Jin Xiangrong's expression was serious: "This shows that my father already has the heart to abolish the prince, and the abolition of the prince is not the most important thing, I am afraid that the concubines and concubines in the harem who have princes will use their brains crookedly, and the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and at this time, His Royal Highness the prince can no longer withstand any slander." ”

"How is this good?" Nuan Jin was worried, and immediately turned red.

"You should go and see your father."

"Father?" Warm, you hesitate, "But is it useful?" My father is angry now, if I bother him about this matter again, will I add fuel to the fire and cut off my brother's head in a fit of anger? ”

"Naturally, you can't go directly to your father to plead for mercy, you can ...... like this" Jin Xiangrong hooked his fingers and motioned for Nuan Jin to come over.

Nuan Jin leaned over, and nodded again and again while listening.

Kunjin Palace was used as the dormitory of the queens of the past dynasties, and since the death of the queen's mother, it has been uninhabited again.

All the furnishings in the palace are left by the former queen during her lifetime, every grass and tree is the original appearance, I heard that the emperor will often come here to commemorate the first queen, and sit for most of the day.

Nuan Jin looked at every place in the palace, there seemed to be the shadow of the queen mother, thinking about the past time, and couldn't help but feel sad, if the queen mother was still there, how could it get to this point?

Nuan Jin slowly walked to a soft collapse in front of the window, where there was also a magnolia fan, as if the owner of the fan just happened to be absent, and when he turned his head, he would hear someone behind him call him "Nuan Jin", blaming her for being thinly dressed or emaciated.

Nuan Jin picked up the fan, which was dyed with the fragrance of magnolia flowers that the mother concubine was accustomed to, she put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and the familiar feeling filled every nerve in her body.

She closed her eyes, tears fluttered uncontrollably, the queen mother is her eternal pain, no matter how many years have passed, what kind of person she has grown into, the queen mother is in the softest corner of her heart.

She gradually cried and couldn't extricate herself, Tao Tao watched from the side, and shed tears with empathy: "Master, you have to mourn and change, pay attention to your own body, the slave knows that you miss the queen, but if the mother is there, I don't want to see you so sad." ”

"The mother and queen are thin, only the palace and the brother, but now ......" Nuan Jin couldn't continue, so he shook his head helplessly.

"I heard Cen Run say that you entered the palace early in the morning, and I was still thinking about why you didn't come to ask me for peace, it turned out to be here."

The emperor's deep voice sounded behind him, Nuan Jin and Tao Tao were startled, and hurriedly turned around.

Sure enough, the emperor was standing alone at the gate of the palace, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.

He is the Ninety-Five Supreme, the whole world is in his hands, he is ruthless and majestic, but no matter how high he stands, there is also a fragile place in his heart.

The first empress was the weakness of the emperor's life.

"The son of the emperor greets his father."

"The slave and maid greet the emperor."

He walked in silently, sat on the soft collapse in front of the window, looked at the fan held by Nuan Jin in his hand, raised his hand slightly, and Nuan Jin hurriedly handed the fan over.

The emperor looked at the fan carefully, and his eyes gradually became longer, thinking that he was recalling the appearance of the former empress when she used this fan during her lifetime.

Nuan Jin looked at the emperor cautiously, saw a faint smile on his lips, and then disappeared little by little, and finally regained his composure and put the fan aside.

"There are only a few of us in this palace who can still remember her." The emperor was stunned and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Even a few of us don't hurt." Nuan Jin smiled and said, "After all, we are the queen mother's most worried." ”

Nuan Jin meant something, causing the emperor to look at her thoughtfully: "Are you here to intercede for the prince?" ”

The emperor asked so unabashedly, Nuan Jin was not surprised at all, how could she deceive the emperor with this little thought?

Nuan Jin's eyes were red: "Erchen didn't dare to come to intercede, but he just felt that his brother was framed, he would not do such a thing, and he asked his father to find out!" ”

The emperor leaned back, looked up at the caisson, Nuan Jin didn't dare to say anything else, stood there solemnly, and wept secretly.

"How can you not know people and faces, but not hearts?"

Nuan Jin was slightly stunned: "Erchen and his brother grew up freely together, and the brother's personality is willing to use his head to vouch for it." ”

"Huh." The emperor chuckled, "What about him and that Yan Yu?" Do you dare to say that they were innocent before? The emperor looked down at Nuan Jin with a hint of sarcasm.

Nuan Jin was dumbfounded, and the emperor knew it when he saw it: "It seems that you already knew?" Then how do you know that the prince won't promise her anything when he likes that palace maid? ”

Nuan Jin had a slight sweat on his forehead: "My brother is obsessed with Yanyu, but he is only obsessed, and he has never promised her anything, even if he even accepts her as a side concubine, my brother has never said it, let alone the position of the crown princess and the restoration of the country for her, this is simply nonsense." ”

"Nonsense? Since he knows that she is the princess of the enemy country, the prince should put away his emotions and do it even if he knows that it is wrong, even if it is calculated, it is not his own incompetence? ”

The Emperor was ruthless, as if he were talking about an unrelated person.

"Didn't you also see his immortal virtue when you visited the Punishment Department that night?" The emperor glanced at Nuan Jin, playing with a string of Bodhi in his hand.

Nuan Jin's cheeks flushed, and she understood that her words and deeds were all under the control of her father, and the reason why she entered and exited the Punishment Department so smoothly, including that Imperial Doctor Lou could treat the prince, was because the emperor didn't care about her at all.

Nuan Jin didn't speak there, but the emperor didn't care much: "Do you think he has a little remorse so far?" All he could think about was that minion!

"Such a child's affection is unaware of being calculated, how can I give him the country to such a person?"

Nuan Jin was speechless when asked, she understood that the most important thing as an emperor is to be ruthless and loveless.

"Now the court is going to pile up a mountain of folds!" The emperor gritted his teeth as he said, "Do you know that I am angry when I look at those folds, and I want to strangle him with my own hands!" is so indisputable, and I don't know who to follow! ”

Nuan Jin muttered in his heart, with whom? The emperor forgot that when his children were long, the prince did not follow him ten out of ten, and he complained that the prince was amorous, and he didn't look at his youth.

But Nuan Jin only dared to say this in his heart, and he didn't dare to mention it in the slightest, for fear of angering his father and the emperor, and really slaughtering the prince.

"Then, what does the father plan to do with his brother?" Nuan Jin asked cautiously.

The emperor sighed, the crown prince is the concubine of the first queen, and he is also his favorite child, although he is not angry, but he can't be taken seriously, he is the son of heaven, the king of a country, he wants to protect his children, and he has to think of a son to calm the grievances in the court.

Therefore, even if he is the emperor, there are more and more things that are hindered.

"What do I want to do? It's to see what the prince wants to do with that Yan Yu, you go to the Punishment Department to pass a message, and want to solve the dilemma in front of you, only the prince personally gave the little palace maid to death. ”
