Chapter 556: The Crown Prince (2 more requests for a monthly pass)

First, this is the Royal Garden, in addition to all kinds of delicate flowers, the natural scenery is pleasant, but Chen Kaizhi has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery in this Imperial Garden, and is pondering the meaning of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager deliberately distracted the Empress Dowager Mu, and the woman, there must be something special to say to him, so he quietly looked at the Empress Dowager with his spare eyes with doubts in his heart.

The Empress Dowager was calm, her eyes turned slightly, browsing the beautiful scenery near and far.

I saw that not far away, there was a long pavilion, and the Empress Dowager pointed at it lightly and smiled.

"Go there and sit down."

Chen Kaizhi bowed his head, he quietly looked back, and saw that the old eunuch was following from afar, and he didn't dare to approach, so he helped the empress dowager to the pavilion.

The pavilion was empty at this time, and it was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of birds.

The pavilion is spacious, with a stone round table in the middle and several small stone benches surrounding the round table.

When the Empress Dowager entered the pavilion, she sat down on the stone bench, and the bright sun shone obliquely into the pavilion, and the brilliant light shrouded the face of the Empress Dowager, and a well-maintained face was almost transparent, making it difficult to see.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't see the Empress Dowager's expression clearly, so he could only wait on the side, waiting for her to speak, and after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager pointed to the small stone bench beside her.

"You can sit down too."

Chen Kaizhi also sat down very simply.

The Empress Dowager sat dignifiedly, her eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't care about the beautiful scenery around her, but looked at Chen Kaizhi very seriously, a face shrouded in light, but there was a trace of sadness, and the next moment, her elbows were propped up on the round table, her head was tilted in her hands, her eyes wandered, and the whole person seemed to be in deep thought, and she sighed deeply unconsciously.

"The mourning family entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and it was more than forty years ago, and the past is like smoke."

Chen Kaizhi didn't expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly say this, and he was a little surprised.

But for the emotion in the Empress Dowager's words, Chen Kaizhi was difficult to understand this feeling, but he still nodded and said: "Today's people don't see the ancient times and moons, and this month has been like the ancients?" ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned, chewing on this sentence, she was stupid, and her eyes flashed.

"Yes, that's right, the last time the mourning family left this place, it has been fifteen years since they left, fifteen years, things have long been people, there are many 'ancients' here and trees, but they are mostly gone, people have good fortune and misfortune. Fifteen years ago......"

As she spoke, she clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, raised her eyes shallowly, her gaze seemed to become distant, and she continued: "Do you know why the mourning family left here fifteen years ago? ”

For this question, in fact, Chen Kaizhi has always felt strange in his heart.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager not only had a noble status, but also had a lofty status in the hearts of the courtiers, but she suddenly left the center of imperial power and went to Guanzhong, which was more than ten years, in Chen Kaizhi's view, this should be the biggest mystery of the Empress Dowager.

Looking at Chen Kai's puzzled face, the Empress Dowager sighed, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled slightly.

"At that time, there was a grandson, he was the eldest grandson of the mourning family, the mourning family still remembers, when he heard his cry on the ground, the mourning family's heart was broken, the mourning family thought that this life, it was also blessed, gave birth to several sons, and now there is a grandson, in the future, the mourning family, must raise this eldest grandson, raise by his side, the mourning family is ready to wait for him to grow older, and tell him many stories, but ...... Come to think of it, you also know that the prince is missing. ”

Chen Kaizhi was stunned at first, he never thought that the Empress Dowager would say this to him, but he immediately bowed his head and said: "The minister has heard of some, and it is said that it is the hand of the sons of Yu Xian. ”

"Huh...... It's not that simple. The Empress Dowager was indifferent on her face, no longer seeing her usual kind appearance, her eyes were so dark that she couldn't see the bottom, but she said lightly: "What good is it for the remnants of the sons to do this?" ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded again, but at this time, he knew that he couldn't continue to talk, because what was involved next would definitely be the biggest secret in the palace.

As a courtier, even if it is a clan, there are some things that are still taboo.

Yes, since the remnants of the sons will not do any good, does that mean that there are other people? But who could it be? It's almost conceivable, who gets the most out of the process?

King Zhao, of course, and his son, who is now emperor.

But after all, King Zhao is the son of the Empress Dowager, and the little emperor is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, in addition to the father and son of King Zhao, the first emperor has become extinct, no matter whether the person behind him is King Zhao or not, it doesn't matter, because the Empress Dowager will never avenge the eldest grandson.

Seeing that Chen Kai was silent, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at Chen Kai, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she actually sneered.

"At this time, you must be thinking, this person must be King Zhao, right?"

Chen Kaizhi was surprised, he didn't nod, and he didn't shake his head.

If you don't nod your head, you have to have some taboos.

I don't shake my head because I don't want to open my eyes and talk nonsense.

"You're thinking wrong." The Empress Dowager put away the sneer at the corner of her mouth and said lightly.

Chen Kaizhi was surprised, did he think wrong? This is strange, if it is not King Zhao, who else can there be? Who else in the Great Chen Dynasty is so awesome that he can take the emperor's son away?

The Empress Dowager was stunned when she saw Chen Kaizhi's mistake, her eyes couldn't help but squint coldly, her eyes looked at the flowers in the distance, and said with a sneer.

"My own son, will the mourning family not know? King Zhao, on the surface, is quite a city government, he is also very meticulous, and he is ruthless in doing things, but it is not that the mourning family looks down on him, he is just a person who is constantly scheming. ”

As she spoke, her voice became extraordinarily firm, and her face shrouded in the sun became more and more invisible.

"But he won't do such a thing, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare!"

Don't dare to say the word, it really analyzes Chen Zhenjing thoroughly.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think in his heart, the words of the Empress Dowager were not wrong, then King Zhao was ambitious, but did he have the courage?

From the perspective of his temperament, Chen Kaizhi feels that this person can be regarded as a high-ranking person in power at most, but he cannot be a hero, and he may not even be a hero.

Thinking of this, Chen Kai's heart was shocked, could it be that this Da Chen was anything more powerful?

In addition to being frightened, he couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "So, who is this person?" ”

"I don't know." The Empress Dowager withdrew her gaze, and then looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile.

Belch......

It's a little embarrassing, you don't know, but you still come to talk to me about this?

However, Chen Kaizhi faintly felt that the Empress Dowager must have vaguely known something, but it was just ...... She couldn't say anything.

"So the mourning family is thinking that someone must have instigated King Zhao behind his back, this person is the most important, but ...... Is this person really doing this just to allow King Zhao's son to ascend the throne? No, it shouldn't be, the person behind him won't make wedding dresses for others, and the mourning family doesn't believe that he has gone to great lengths to arrange such a rebellious event, risking a thousand cuts, just to make King Zhao profitable. ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed deeply again, and the light in her eyes became colder and colder.

"So...... The mourning family guessed back then that this person must have a bad intention, and he must have a deeper calculation, and King Zhao, the unsuccessful son of the mourning family, was just lured by him and became his pawn. ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded thoughtfully.

The Empress Dowager said again: "So, what can you speculate? ”

Chen Kaizhi was stunned, and then, he suddenly remembered something: "Prince, you must still be alive!" ”

"Not bad!" The Empress Dowager Zhengse said: "He must still be alive, because this person, since he has a plan, and it is not just to cheapen King Zhao, he has a deeper plan, and he will definitely keep this prince in his hand." The mourning family quarreled with the first emperor back then, and went to Ganquan Palace in a negative mood, in order to do so, in Luoyang Palace, it is too much to see if you want to lay out and plan, and Guanzhong is the maiden home of the mourning family, which is also quiet, and the mourning family has enough time and energy to deal with this person, or rather, to find the prince. ”

Chen Kaizhi was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the Empress Dowager had endured it for so many years for this.

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt terrified, what she wanted to find was the prince named Wuji, which must be right, but what she saw in the Heavenly Pavilion was that Wuji was not the real prince, but a person with a birthmark on his thigh, and this person ......

The more Chen Kaizhi thought about it, the more complicated he felt, and he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't understand the world of adults, and he really wanted to go back to kindergarten.

So, a new question arises, why did the Empress Dowager tell him this.

What does she mean by that?

Could it be that you want him to help find the whereabouts of the prince?

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but raise his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager suspiciously.

The Empress Dowager stood up, Chen Kaizhi just wanted to get up and hug him, but she shook her head at him slightly, and said with a light smile.

"You must be thinking, why did the mourning family say these words to you, now you must be full of doubts, you can rest assured, the mourning family will not harm you, the mourning family will say this to you, you just think this is the mourning family talking to you, and you are bored, one day, you will understand the deep meaning of the mourning family today."

She looked into the distance, sighed deeply in her heart, and finally put her hand on Chen Kaizhi's shoulder.

Chen Kaizhi looked at the empress dowager with flamboyant hair but excellent maintenance, he was a little stupid for a while, and then he thought, what about him, as long as he doesn't harm me, it's enough.

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Yes." ”
