Only then did Zhu Qiming realize that his psychological reaction to the bizarre fall into the water and the destruction of his appearance was not calm! Grievances and disappointments have accumulated for many years, and at this moment, because he saw the emperor casually leading Xining, a "suspect", into the other courtyard, his emotions suddenly went out of control.

Seeing a hint of great displeasure in Xining's eyes, Zhu Qiming pointed at Xining angrily, his arm trembling slightly, "The minister really doesn't want to disobey Your Majesty, but one day, the minister will definitely slash this thief!" ”

The emperor looked at Zhu Qiming blankly, gritted his teeth after a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Do you resent Xining, or do you have a grudge against me?" ”

"How dare the minister complain about Your Majesty! From the assassination, abduction, attack on the way, and then to the water not long ago, the minister has wandered between life and death several times, so he looks forward to it day and night, looking forward to the court to give the minister an explanation, but the court has so far no conclusion, and this person's suspicion has not been cleared, so he dares to enter and exit the courtyard with a big grin, which can not help but make the minister feel disappointed again! ”

The emperor's face was completely gloomy, and his eyes lit up a little frighteningly, "I was originally a kind heart, so that the imperial prison came to ask about the use of the other courtyard, but unexpectedly, it was exchanged for your resentment. Okay, if you want to say the law, I will give you the law! Meizi committed suicide in fear of sin, and it is not a statement! ”

Mama Cui watched all this from afar, so anxious that she was at a loss, and finally left the courtyard in a panic.

"Meizi committed suicide in fear of sin?" Zhu Qiming smiled bitterly again and again, and his laughter was a little sad, "Yes, Jinyiwei handled the case, and others couldn't believe it, but the minister dared to ask His Majesty, the minister was taken captive in Gongxian Hutong and was attacked repeatedly in the north, can this also be blamed on Meizi's head?" ”

"There is no conclusion to these things, but Jinyiwei has a conclusion, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the Tartar thief! If you don't believe it, I can leave the major affairs of the DPRK and China alone and review the matter in its entirety, how about it! ”

The emperor's roar shocked the attendants and brocade guards outside the courtyard, and everyone quickly knelt down, and Xining also knelt on the ground, "The little slave doesn't know what happened to offend King Yue, whether he is investigated or imprisoned, the little slave has no complaints, why should Your Majesty make it difficult for such a trivial matter?" The little slave asks Your Majesty to calm your anger and take care of yourself! ”

Zhu Qiming glared at Xining angrily, his eyes were almost bursting with fire, but he was afraid that in the next moment, he would casually handle a guy, and rushed forward desperately to test how much weight Xining's disguise had!

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The Empress Dowager hurriedly entered the courtyard and walked quickly along the corridor to the side of the corridor, "Qi Ming, are you confused these days?" There is no sense of proportion in speaking. Emperor, Qi Ming suffered this catastrophe, no one will feel good if he is replaced, can't he say it well if he has something to say? ”

The Queen Mother turned her eyes to Xining and said coldly: "Xining, why are you here, you can't go down yet!" ”

Xining raised her head and looked at the emperor, and saw the emperor waving his hand, and Xining got up and exited the courtyard in a playful manner.

The emperor's tone softened slightly, "It's also strange that I didn't choose a good time for the wedding, and I didn't have time to take care of King Yue's affairs." That's it, the matter of Fang Cai is over. ”

Zhu Qiming bowed to the Queen Mother, "Qi Ming lost his temper for a while, and he said nothing, so he drove the Queen Mother away, hoping that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins!" ”

The Queen Mother smiled leisurely, "Okay, okay, it's okay to talk about it." His eyes fell on the emperor's face, "Qi Ming has the emperor in his heart, so he is outspoken, it is better than hiding and tucking it so that people know their faces and do not know their hearts!" ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally showed a look of unhappiness, "The queen mother is right." ”

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound outside the courtyard, and then Xining's voice floated over: "Weichen is just a useless stupid slave beside Your Majesty, you can't serve Your Majesty happily, but it has caused Your Majesty to fall out of harmony with the Yue Wangjun and the ministers, what face does Weichen have to live in the world!" ”

I heard the exclamations of a few chamberlains: "Father-in-law, why did you slap yourself in the face?" Ah, happy father-in-law, happy father-in-law, you can't hit the wall! ”

The emperor looked at the gate of the courtyard in amazement, and said hurriedly: "The people outside quickly stop Xining, if Xining is lost, I can't spare you!" ”

After the noisy commotion, the outside of the courtyard returned to calm, and an inner attendant said from the courtyard: "Your Majesty, Father-in-law Xi was stopped by the little slaves!" ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and the anger in Zhu Qiming's chest rekindled, and he blurted out angry words: "Who is acting for?" Treacherous! ”

"Traitor?" The emperor suddenly turned his head to stare at Zhu Qiming, "Xining has been serving me for thirteen years, if Xining is a traitor, then I am not a faint king!" ”

Zhu Qiming gritted his teeth secretly, years of forbearance and cultivation were all invalid at this moment, and he only felt depressed and angry, and he needed to vomit quickly! "Your Majesty, don't forget, the minister has been a member of the royal family for fourteen years now!"

The Empress Dowager was very anxious, and a pair of eyes moved quickly between the emperor and Zhu Qiming, "It's okay, what's the matter?" Qi Ming, go back to the study! Ask the emperor to move to Xianxi Palace. ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and looked furious, "Yes, it's true that you are a member of the royal family, and now you are still a prince, but so what!" Have I done you wrong? So many ministers whispered in my ear that you were not yours, and advised me to worry deeply about the great position, but I still remembered the virtue of kissing, but I just left you in the other courtyard. Is it a disadvantage to leave you in the Forbidden City, to stay with the imperial grandmother, the queen mother, and me? Is this a disservice to you? Even my own brother doesn't have such a good treatment, what else do you want! ”

"Kechen is innocent! Although the minister is dull, he still has self-knowledge, and as the prince who takes the throne, he naturally does not dare to live in Yuefu for a long time, but he can't enjoy the favor of staying in another courtyard! If the minister is guilty, then the minister will be handed over to the clan to discuss the crime; If the minister is not guilty, a prince has his own place where he should go, and the minister is not a concubine who makes mistakes, why should he live in a cold palace! ”

The queen mother's face was pale, she stretched out her two hands, looking between the emperor and Zhu Qiming, she couldn't interject for a while, and she was so anxious that she almost knelt down for the two juniors.

"Good!" The emperor kicked over a flower pot on the side of the railing, and the flower pot rolled up quickly, slammed into the wall, and shattered into several petals. "If you are allowed to go back to live in Yuefu, sooner or later I will be killed by the internal and external ministers! If I hand you over to the Zongren Mansion, how can I have any kindness! If you are allowed to go to the domain, I will become a dumb king who has no word to believe! You're pushing me! I don't want to be quarreled to death by the internal and external ministers, and I don't want to lose the virtue of kissing, so I will do as you wish, and I will not hesitate to be the faint monarch and let you go to the domain! ”

Going to the domain? Zhu Qiming used to be so reluctant to go to the domain, but now when he heard the word "go to the domain", he suddenly felt an inexplicable relief in his heart, as if facing liberation!

It's just that I don't know if going to the vassal is a casual angry word from the emperor, or a beautiful thing that can really be fulfilled!

"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"

"The surviving person can't live for a few days, maybe he will be angry to death by his grandson today!"

Several attendants walked briskly along the corridor with their shoulders, and after a while, their shoulders landed on the curved corridor, and the attendants bowed and retreated.

The emperor, the queen mother, and Zhu Qiming hurriedly stepped forward to make a big salute.

"Sun Er (concubine) respectfully invites the Empress Dowager Sheng'an!"

Mama Cui trotted over and held the Queen Mother.

"A prince, who doesn't choose his words, still looks like a subordinate!" The conversation changed: "The emperor should also ask himself, how did he come step by step over the years and finally reign in the world?" Hmph, if the north is a little quiet, there will be an accident in the Forbidden City, but can the north be peaceful for a long time? Now, if you do everything to the end, one day when the big trouble comes, it will be too late to regret it! ”

The Empress Dowager did not hesitate, she tried her best to open her eyelids, revealing a trace of cloudy gaze, and looked blankly at the three faces in front of her, but she was not sure.

"The emperor is going to get down to business, and I'll leave it to the emperor's grandmother here."

The emperor got up, shook his sleeves angrily, and walked straight out of the courtyard without looking back.

"And you, go back to Xianxi Palace."

The Empress Dowager got up, looked at Zhu Qiming and wanted to say something when she opened her mouth, glanced at the Empress Dowager, and finally bowed her head and went down the corridor and left slowly.

"Qi Ming, the imperial grandmother knows everything, she knows that you have caused trouble by secretly investigating the old case, and not long ago she accidentally fell into the water, and she was helpless with a stomach full of doubts, alas, I can't blame you, no one will feel good if you change it. The imperial grandmother can see that you are not doing all this out of personal grudges, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. However, the imperial grandmother has long said that it will move the whole body! If the emperor is not on your side, it will be difficult for you, unless you ······"

The Empress Dowager took a breath, "Unless you follow the example of your imperial great-ancestor and Qing Jun, many things are not so easy to do, otherwise the imperial grandmother would have done it a long time ago!" Now you only know that you are angry, which means that you have not had the same thoughts in your heart as Emperor Yongle back then, and the imperial grandmother is deeply pleased! You are still young, many things are in a hurry, you can't do it now, then leave it to the future, you are an expert in the fight, why did the fight suddenly become a layman? ”

Zhu Qiming nodded on the ground, "My grandson is tired." ”

"Qi Ming, you come to the imperial grandmother."

Zhu Qiming kneeled in front of the Empress Dowager. A ray of sunlight reflected on his mask, which suddenly shone brightly.

I saw that the Empress Dowager's eyelids moved, and her eyes suddenly widened a little. "Qi Ming, what are you wearing on your head? Don't take it off yet. ”

Seeing that Mama Cui gritted her teeth at him and nodded, Zhu Qiming gently took off her mask.

The Empress Dowager's right hand moved slightly, Mama Cui hurriedly picked up that hand and stretched it out to Zhu Qiming's face, the Empress Dowager groped for a while, her eyes slanted, and she seemed to be going towards Mama Cui, "You don't tell the truth!" Holding Zhu Qiming's head, he looked at it effortlessly for a long time, and then burst into tears, "Qi Ming, how did you become like this!" If God wants to blame the surviving people, he is a child, why did I let the children of the Zhu family suffer such a big sin! ”

When the grandparents and grandchildren hugged their heads and cried, Cui Mama didn't dare to hide it anymore, when Zhu Qiming fell into the water, how did Lu Xiyu rescue, how did the queen mother angrily reprimand Lu Xiyu, how did the doctors of the Tai Hospital say that the evil poison invaded the body, there was no medicine to solve it, and the evil poison only disfigured and did not hurt life, and Ling Xudao said that there was medicine to cure but the doctor did not believe it, etc., and made a detailed report.

The Empress Dowager cried for a long time, and finally held back her tears, and opened her mouth when she was still choking, "Grandmother Huang understands, you are making trouble for the girl of the Lu family, but Grandmother Huang forgot that you have grown up!" is still a hero with short breath, and his children are long! The imperial grandmother promised you, but she wished for you before she breathed, even if she gave up this old face to beg others! ”

Zhu Qiming left the arms of the Empress Dowager and bowed to the ground, "The grandson's face is like a ghost, why should he mistake people for life!" ”

"In that case, then you can't be guilty of giving up on yourself, didn't that female crown (Daogu) say that there is still medicine to cure?"
