The prince was a little displeased and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about?" Facing Empress Ning again, he said with some concern: "I'm afraid that something happened to the third emperor's brother, and the queen mother might as well send someone to find it privately." Although Chu Tianshuo didn't know what his mother was going to do, he also knew that the third prince would never have an accident in the palace, especially now that his father had a very strange attitude towards the third prince.

Empress Ning nodded and said to Mama Zhang: "Mama Zhang, you quickly take a few people to look for it secretly in this palace, don't make any more waves." "It's best for the third prince to get drunk and walk into the concubine's bedroom! Empress Ning silently added in her heart.

Mama Zhang took the order and walked out with a few eunuchs.

After Mama Zhang left, Empress Ning looked at several princes and said: "Yi'er disappeared in the palace today, the palace is very worried, and I really have no intention of continuing this banquet. ”

All the princes said yes in unison and left one after another, leaving only the crown prince and the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was puzzled: "Queen Mother, the third emperor brother disappeared when he disappeared, why are you still looking for him?" Wouldn't it be better if he lost it? It's better to get drunk and fall into the water or something. ”

Empress Ning glared at him and reprimanded, "Xiao'er, didn't the queen mother teach you to be cautious?" As the head of the six palaces, anything happens in the palace that may involve the queen mother, how can you be so mindless? If you have your brother to be half cautious, you won't say that, it seems that this palace really spoils you too much. ”

Chu Tianxiao was also quite aggrieved, why did he only reprimand him when he met that slut when he met his mother? The eldest brother is like this, even the queen mother is like this, that slut is really a scourge, and he will never be found or something will happen! still obediently admitted his mistake and said: "It's my son who is not thoughtful." ”

Empress Ning saw that he sincerely admitted his mistakes, and just hardened up and wanted to teach him a lesson, her heart softened again, and sighed slightly, just that's it, although Xiao'er has no city, as long as Shuo'er ascends the throne, he will have no worries about his life, but it doesn't matter. He softened his voice and said, "The queen mother just hopes that you can be sensible and remember what to say and what not to say." ”

Chu Tianxiao was dissatisfied in his heart, but he looked like he was being taught, and said respectfully: "Yes, Erchen remembers." ”

Empress Ning relieved her heart and reassured: "Xiao'er, the queen mother and your eldest brother still have something to discuss, you can go back and rest first." ”

Chu Tianxiao also knew that his eldest brother and the queen mother were discussing important matters, so he obediently saluted and retired.

Only then did Chu Tianshuo say worriedly: "Queen Mother, what do you want to do today?" ”

Empress Ning waved her hand, and the surrounding maids and eunuchs automatically retreated. Only then did he say: "Shuo'er, no matter what the queen mother does, the queen mother is for your good, and it is all for you and Xiao'er." ”

Chu Tianshuo was puzzled: "What is it that even Erchen can't know?"

Empress Ning got up and walked down from the phoenix seat, stopped in front of the prince, looked at her son who was taller than herself, and was slightly proud in her heart, raised her hand to straighten the collar for the prince, and then said: "Shuo'er, the queen mother must not let Chu Tianyi, that slut, marry the eldest princess of Chaoyang or Jiang Lige!" The tone was soft, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

Chu Tianshuo thought of Emperor Jianwen's ambiguous attitude, but he didn't dare to guess, how could he say it to Empress Ning, and said helplessly: "Queen Mother, what if the third emperor brother marries the eldest princess of Beifeng, the eldest princess of Beifeng is certainly smart, but in the end, she is a woman, no matter how much she makes waves, she can't make much waves." As for the song, don't you know that the Marquis of Zhenbei and his father are friends of life and death, and they have always been loyal to their father, so how could they get involved in the struggle of the princes? Putting these aside, the fate of the third emperor's brother is destined to make him unable to ascend the throne, why should the queen mother do this? Got fishy for nothing. ”

Empress Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Shuo'er, you will never know...... "I will never know what the queen mother has done, Chu Tianyi's little slut is now powerless, she is naturally fearless, but if he marries the eldest princess of Beifeng or Jiang Lige, then nothing will be the same, and then he will unite with anyone will affect your crown prince!

Chu Tianshuo found out that something was wrong with his mother, and said worriedly: "What does the son not know? ”

Empress Ning glanced at Chu Tianshuo deeply, and then said, "You don't know how much this palace hates that slut of Li Guiren!" How could Hongu allow her son the slightest chance to live well. ”

Chu Tianshuo shook his head and sighed: "Queen Mother, Liguiren has died a long time ago, and the third emperor brother has also had a very hard time over the years, why are you obsessed with this?"

Empress Ning was a little dissatisfied and said, "Are you still not the son of the queen mother?" How can you go to that slut's son? He has to suffer for the rest of his life to relieve the hatred in his mother's heart!"

Chu Tianshuo said: "Queen Mother, do you know ...... father" The words almost came out, but Chu Tianshuo stopped talking in time, there is no shadow of this, he can't guess randomly, in case the queen mother makes something impulsive and is caught, he is a sinner.

Empress Ning said suspiciously: "What's wrong with your father?"

Chu Tianshuo's face did not change and said: "Do you know that the father and the emperor are also extremely disgusted with the third emperor brother?" In this way, the third emperor brother is extremely pitiful. ”

Empress Ning sneered, "Didn't you see him look like a wolf cub today?" How does this palace think he deserves it!"

Chu Tianshuo was speechless, he thought that he would never be able to understand the hatred in his mother's heart, so he only asked: "Queen Mother, what do you want to do to the third emperor brother when you summoned your sons and others into the palace today?" Isn't it your fault for the disappearance of the Third Emperor Brother?"

Empress Ning sneered: "The queen mother just let a few palace maids ruin his reputation, as long as that little slut's reputation is ruined, not to mention the eldest princess of Beifeng and Jiang Lige, he can't marry the daughter of a five-grade official!" This can be regarded as the palm of the hand that can't be turned out of the palace. ”

Chu Tianshuo felt a little worried, and asked, "Why did the third emperor brother disappear?" Then he said: "It is said that the third emperor brother has drunk too much wine, and he should not have the strength, so how can he escape through the window?" I'm afraid that someone is doing something wrong, but I don't know if it's friend or foe? Erchen was very worried. ”

Empress Ning didn't care and said: "What are you afraid of, anyway, that little slut is ***, unless he has sex with a woman, he can only explode and die, this palace doesn't believe that he would rather die, no matter what, he can only jump into this trap." ”

Chu Tianshuo was slightly relieved at this time, and said respectfully: "The queen mother is scheming, and the son is ashamed. ”

Empress Ning looked at the angular son in front of her, and said with pity: "Let the queen mother do these pickled things, you are the prince who wants to ascend to the throne, don't pollute your ears, your father doesn't like the prince to calculate too much." ”

Chu Tianshuo was moved: "The queen mother is very kind, and the sons have nothing to repay, but the sons are the sons of the queen mothers, how can they stay out of the matter and stand by?" The queen mother, although the son is the prince, but he also grew up in this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones. The queen mother really doesn't have to protect her sons like this. ”

Empress Ning raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Tianshuo's hair, as if she was touching an incomparably precious treasure, and said with relief: "My son has grown up, and the queen mother is old." Shuo'er, you remember, no matter what happens to the queen mother in the future, it is the queen mother's sin that deserves, you don't care about the queen mother, no matter what the queen mother does, you don't get involved, just be your clean prince, go to hell or something, let the queen mother come alone. ”

Chu Tianshuo felt a little flustered inexplicably, and said anxiously: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why? Erchen was very uneasy in his heart. ”

Empress Ning smiled: "I didn't say anything, you just need to remember the words of the queen mother." ”

Chu Tianshuo said firmly: "The queen mother will be fine." ”

Empress Ning smiled: "The queen mother is the queen, naturally it will be fine, the queen mother is just a hypothesis." ”

Chu Tianshuo said seriously: "It's not okay to assume. ”

Empress Ning said with a smile: "Okay, well, the queen mother doesn't assume that you are nervous." Go back to the East Palace, and don't get involved in the rest. ”

Chu Tianshuo hesitated: "But ......" Erchen always felt that this matter was not simple.

Empress Ning interrupted: "Okay, don't be, be good, listen to the queen mother." ”

Chu Tianshuo couldn't say anything when he saw that Empress Ning insisted, so he had to say: "The son of the minister will retire, and the queen mother will rest early, and let the people below do the affairs of the third emperor brother." ”

Empress Ning smiled: "I know, you are becoming more and more verbose now." ”

Only then did Chu Tianshuo turn around and leave, Empress Ning looked at her son's tall back, clenched her fists, and said secretly: Shuo'er, the queen mother will definitely not let anything affect your crown prince's position.

At this time, Mama Zhang and her entourage had already searched for most of the palace, but found nothing, Mama Zhang saw that the situation was not right, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to continue to look for it, and went to tell the queen herself.

Mama Zhang was a little worried and said: "Niangniang, the entire harem has been searched, and now only the Taihe Hall and the imperial study are left, but if you go, I am afraid that I will alarm the emperor." ”

Empress Ning gently stroked the gorgeous Dankou, thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Has the cold palace been checked?" That little slut has been secretly paying tribute to his slut mother in the cold palace, could it be that he is hiding there? ”

Mama Zhang suddenly realized: "It's still a wise mother, how can the slave forget such an important place?" ”

Mama Zhang hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave, but Queen Ning said, "Slow, this palace will go with you." ”

Mama Zhang respectfully got out of the way, and Empress Ning strode forward, with an impatience that even she hadn't noticed.

In the cold palace.

Jiang Lige endured the discomfort of his body and put on the clothes of the two, looked at Chu Tianyi, who had fallen asleep, sighed helplessly, picked up the man resignedly, and muttered: "Chu Tianyi, General Ben really owes you." With that, he swept out of the palace walls.
