Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Death of the Male Minister

If it weren't for Jiao Zhan'er's support, Liang Yuanzhi might have fallen to his knees. He watched as Qian Xiong was beheaded in front of him, with blood under his body, and in some places it was still spurting. Liang Yuanzhi's tears rolled down his cheeks, and his mind couldn't think of anything at all. Although he was the crown prince, he had never experienced such a bloody scene head-on, and that man still loved his uncle. It's not that he doesn't know what Qian Xiong did, but Qian Xiong has no rebellious heart, all for him and his mother. Even though he is called ruthless, he always gives the tenderness of the iron man to the person closest to him.

Liang Yuanhuang looked at Qian Xiong, who was already out of breath, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He looked at Liang Yuanzhao, who was lowering his eyebrows and expressionless. Emperor Liang Yuan had received an anonymous letter before, listing evidence of Qian Xiong's crimes. Qian Xiong can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, and he has to guard against it. Just right, take this opportunity, in addition to this hidden danger. However, Liang Yuanhuang didn't guess who was behind the whole thing, he didn't like the disputes between the princes, but Liang Yuanzhao's move just helped him solve Qian Xiong. However, in Emperor Liang Yuan's heart, he was more cautious and cautious about the five princes. As an emperor, he is also suspicious of his own prince, and Emperor Liang Yuan is tired enough.

After going down, someone went to clean up the hall. The emperor didn't let the prince stay too much, and Liang Yuanzhi returned to Mingyang Palace in this way. It just so happened that Queen Qian was also here, and Qian Xiong's news spread very quickly, and she already knew about it. When Liang Yuanzhi saw Queen Qian's red and swollen eyes, as well as her expression, her emotions exploded instantly. He knelt in front of Queen Qian with a "plop" and cried bitterly:

"The queen mother, the uncle is gone, and the father is ......"

Jiao Zhan'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the prince's arm, and said solemnly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, be cautious in your words and deeds."

After that, he gave the palace people a look, and everyone retreated, so he stood at the door to guard, giving the mother and son space to talk to each other.

"Zhi'er, your uncle is gone, our backer is gone, and now, only our mother and ...... are left."

Queen Qian was paralyzed from crying, leaning on Liang Yuanzhi's arms, without any strength, relying on her son to support her. Liang Yuanzhi grew up, all of them were arranged by Queen Qian and Qian Xiong, and Queen Qian still relied on her brother for everything. Now it's like there is no backbone, and Liang Yuanzhi also feels so powerless.

"Queen Mother, it's okay, there is still a beloved son, beloved son protects you."

Queen Qian closed her eyes and choked for a while before she slowly opened her eyes and sobbed and said:

"Zhi'er...... I don't have an uncle...... There will be ...... Someone bullied us...... I'm afraid it's our position...... It's going to be unstable...... The queen mother is still afraid of ...... in the future We don't have a place in the palace to ......."

Liang Yuanzhi gently gave Queen Qian a smooth breath behind her back with his hand, and said:

"My father is really ruthless ......"

Queen Qian suddenly sneered and said:

"Since ancient times, the emperor has been affectionate, he used to love the Autumn Emperor and the Nine Emperor Princes so much, but as soon as his position was threatened, didn't the Autumn Emperor Concubine also be killed by him himself? How much more your uncle...... Beloved, the queen mother has been in the palace for many years, and she has seen too many deceitful people, and the queen mother is afraid that your position as the crown prince is unstable and that you will suffer a loss. Now, the only relatives who are good to us are gone, what can we do in the future? ”

Liang Yuanzhi closed his glasses, and then opened them fiercely:

"It's Liang Yuanzhao, it must be him."

When Queen Qian heard this, she gritted her teeth and said:

"And the slut of the high emperor and concubine, they have been planning for a long time. Zhi'er, be careful of Liang Yuanzhao, I'm afraid that he will compete for the position of crown prince. ”

Liang Yuanzhi felt physically and mentally exhausted for the first time, and all of a sudden everything was pressed on him.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, there is still Zhi'er, Zhi'er will keep the position of the crown prince, and your throne will also avenge your uncle......"

Liang Yuanzhi's face was full of murderous aura, Liang Yuanzhao, sooner or later, you will be ruined!

"Zhao'er, Qian Xiong is gone, the queen and the crown prince, they won't be away for long. But you must not be in a hurry for anything, you must take it one step at a time. ”

Emperor Gao's face showed joy. Liang Yuanzhao replied:

"Mother don't worry, everything is going according to plan."

"Well, this can be regarded as solving a big problem, so the next step is the problem of heirs."

Emperor Gao's concubine looked at Liang Yuanzhao, and then at the side concubine Chen Ju who was sitting on the side. Liang Yuanzhao knew what the concubine was going to say, so he didn't speak. Of course, Chen Ju also knew, but he was a little shy, lowered his head, and did not speak.

"After being married for so long, why hasn't Ju'er's stomach moved?"

Concubine Gao has no bad impression of this Chen Ju, but she doesn't have a good impression either, she is ordinary, she cares about the person in the position of the concubine. At the beginning, it was also in order to fulfill the promise that Chen Ju was placed in the position of the side concubine.

Chen Ju secretly looked at Liang Yuanzhao, she didn't know how to answer. Liang Yuanzhao felt the gaze of the person next to him, so he replied:

"Mother, this is in a hurry."

The concubine sat up and said dissatisfied:

"Why can't you be in a hurry? The prince is about to accept a concubine, and he originally wanted you to have an heir as soon as possible, before the prince, but why don't you work hard? ”

Chen Ju listened, and such a private topic made her even more shy. Emperor Gao looked at her, and the dissatisfaction in her heart became even more:

"Ju'er, if you don't serve with all your heart, then Zhao'er's concubine will not be far away when she enters Zhaoyang Palace."

Chen Ju raised her head in surprise, although she knew that sooner or later there would be a day, but when she heard such words, she was still a little afraid and frightened in her heart, in that way, the woman who was justified by the five princes was not the only one.

"Mother...... Ju'er ...... Ju'er will work hard......"

Chen Ju's frightened voice became smaller and smaller, and the Imperial Concubine Gao turned her head to the side, gently picked up the tea next to her and drank it, and said:

"At the beginning, the palace promised that as long as you can give birth to a boy before the concubine enters the door, then your position will definitely be on an equal footing with the concubine, you are just a name."

"Yes...... Ju'er thanks to her mother......"

Chen Ju was depressed in her heart, since she got married, for some reason, her stomach was not pregnant, which made her angry.

"Zhao'er, it's really not good, just find a fairly concubine, after all, you have to give birth to the eldest grandson before the prince."

Emperor Gao's gaze was fierce, Liang Yuanzhao paused for a moment and nodded:

"Don't worry, Zhao'er knows what to do."

Emperor Gao smiled with satisfaction, this child has made her worry-free since she was a child, and her heart is similar to herself, so she also believes in him. When Chen Ju heard this, there was a slight pain in his heart, and there were words of suffering.

In the Ciyang Palace, of course, there was also a discussion about Qian Xiong, but it was Han Ying and a few of them who were discussed, and the Nine Emperor Princes had not spoken.

"This Qian Xiong is really to blame and eat the consequences."

Han Ying remembered that Qian Xiong had embarrassed the five princes before, so he had never had a good impression of his personality. Jiuyu went on to say:

"It's not, he's just relying on himself to lay down the country for the emperor, and he is the uncle of the country, and the prince, so he always has no one in his eyes, which can be regarded as a great joy."

"I said you, you are looking at the surface, but in fact, the real disaster is ahead."

Yi Chen gently fanned the fan, and said a little carelessly.

"Lord Yichen, why do you say that?"

Han Ying asked. Yi Chen chuckled and said:

"You all know that Qian Xiong's power is strong, and he is almost able to cover the sky with one hand, so who brought him down?"

"Isn't it a union of all?"

Jiuyu didn't understand, if he spoke. Han Ying thought for a while, suddenly realized, and said:

"What does Lord Yichen mean is that behind this group of ministers, there is a person who is in the dark and manipulating?"

Yi Chen put away the fan, pointed at Han Ying and said:

"The child is teachable, but he is smart."

Han Ying smiled embarrassedly:

"Who could that be?"

"Who in the palace do you think will have trouble with Qian Xiong? Who will have trouble with the crown prince? ”

Han Ying thought about it, and suddenly her eyebrows expanded, but she was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, Yi Chen raised her eyebrows and looked at Han Ying's reaction, and motioned for her to say it. Han Ying swallowed and spat, and said:

"Five...... The Five Princes? ”

Yi Chen nodded with satisfaction, but Han Ying didn't believe what he said. However, did the five princes do this also for the crown prince? She didn't want to brand the Five Princes as ruthless.

"What? Can't bear to face the five princes? ”

Behind a few people, Liang Yuanhe's voice suddenly came, they turned around, Han Ying quickly lowered his head, and said:

"Slaves don't dare."

Liang Yuanhe didn't speak, Yi Chen walked over and said a little seriously:

"However, Liang Yuanzhao did you a favor by doing this, getting rid of a sinner."

Liang Yuanhe smiled lightly at this time, slightly satisfied.

Han Ying didn't dare to mention the matter of the five princes again, and he was silently worried about the prince in his heart, Qian Xiong was his uncle, his own uncle, and if he lost his relatives, how uncomfortable would his heart be?

There is no need for Han Ying to keep vigil today, she was asleep, and suddenly heard someone gently calling her name, Han Ying opened her eyes in a daze, but was instantly startled, Liang Yuanzhi was standing on his couch, in the dark room, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... How did you get here? ”

Han Ying was both surprised and scared, his courage was too great, there were more people in Ciyang Palace now, why did he still come here?

"Yu'er, stay with me......"

Han Ying listened and was stunned, Liang Yuanzhi's voice was hoarse, he didn't hear it clearly just now, but now it is becoming more and more obvious. I only felt that I told myself that Liang Yuanzhi must have been hit hard. Han Ying hurriedly got up, put on her coat a little embarrassed, and saluted, before she could speak, Liang Yuanzhi grabbed Han Ying's hand, and Han Ying felt his cold temperature.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Take you out and stay with me."
