"The concubine's family has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and they should be loyal to the country and set an example for the world. But the concubine knows today that the concubine's younger brother is stubborn and stubborn, and has repeatedly bullied others, and the concubine is in the position of the imperial concubine, but she neglects to supervise her brother's behavior and neglects to discipline, and the concubine is willing to accept the guilt! ”

The emperor was holding back the fire in his belly, and he wanted to cut his favor, even if he was pretentious, he had to warn Concubine Zhou sternly. At this moment, seeing Concubine Zhou braving the severe cold, thin clothes, unkempt head, no powder, lying on the ground, looking pitiful, he couldn't be ruthless after all, so he wanted to say a few words of relief, and when he saw that the queen was giving a salute, he immediately gave up Concubine Zhou and handed the queen a smile, but his eyes swept to the brazier in the distance from time to time.

Wang Zhen understood, and rushed to the door before the waiter Nunu's mouth, and the waiter hurriedly ran over to move the brazier to Concubine Zhou's side.

Playing the sad card, huh? The queen has already prepared a bunch of rhetoric about hiding needles, so she is waiting to seize this rare opportunity to burn a fire in front of the emperor, abolish the proposal of establishing a prince, and pave the way for the abolition of the eldest and youngest in the future and the ascension of the son of Concubine Wan. Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhou actually acted in front of her and blocked her words.

A few sparks instantly appeared in his eyes, and the trademark smile immediately appeared on his face. "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have strictly controlled their relatives, not to mention, just say the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager is particularly strict with the control of the family, the slightest misconduct in the family will be punished, and the law will never be lenient. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are still like this, and who can be a different person about the harem concubines today? Therefore, Sister Zhou's petition today is also considered to be a general understanding. ”

The queen's gentle tone revealed a ruthless heart! The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are the main masters of the palace, and Concubine Zhou is just a concubine, how can she compare with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's own family will be punished for the slightest misconduct, but today's Zhou Lin's evil deeds are not a sentence of "slight misconduct" that can be understated in the past!

This is to force Brother Lin to his death!

What's even more annoying is that the queen didn't forget to give Concubine Zhou a thumbs up at the end, covering up her original intention of punishing people, and she didn't show any traces when she hurt people, and the praise was not painful, just "it is also considered to be general"!

What do you say about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother? Aren't you just hinting at yourself? Yes, your family has always followed the rules and is a model citizen of Beijing, okay? What a stinky show!

Concubine Zhou was beaten on the head, but she could only be angry in her heart and couldn't make a sound.

The emperor's anger over there rekindled. This Zhou Lin, acting recklessly, damaging the reputation of the Heavenly Family, is tolerable or unbearable! The suppressed anger in the emperor's chest rose straight up, and seeing that he reprimanded Concubine Zhou in front of the queen, the evil words were like arrows and had to be sent.

Concubine Zhou paused, her tears wet her clothes, "Your Majesty, the concubine asks herself to be grounded, and she will save money!" ”

Aifei, don't break your forehead, ha! The emperor relented again, if it weren't for the queen standing there, he might have stepped forward quickly to help Concubine Zhou up.

The queen smiled, "Your Majesty, although there are many rumors, Concubine Zhou's brother may have grievances, just like Concubine Zhou's sister, I heard that she went to Zhuolu Mountain to harm Miss Lu, but a girl's family, how can she be so ruthless?" I'm afraid that I don't know who I was bewitched by in secret, and I hope that the emperor will order a detailed investigation, so as not to be wronged by the Zhou family. ”

Concubine Zhou was shocked in her heart. The queen changed the topic, and there was something in her words, which seemed to be interceding, but in fact she wanted to draw the emperor's attention to greater doubts.

If Zhou Xiaodie's secret collusion with the people in King Xiang's mansion is revealed, it will definitely cause a shock in the court, and Concubine Zhou's favor will come to an end, and in the deep palace full of calculations and traps, the eldest son of the emperor who has lost the protection of his biological mother will also suffer, and it is even more difficult to have the last laugh than to ascend to the sky!

What a poisonous heart! Concubine Zhou wanted to tear the queen's mouth, but her wisest choice at the moment was to use the sad card to quickly turn over the story of the little sister before the emperor became suspicious.

She will make a decisive choice and let her son become the prince at all costs!

She bet that the queen didn't know the inside story, and it was inconvenient to catch the little sister and make a big fuss!

"The concubine implored the emperor to take Brother Lin and the family members into custody, and ask for the crime according to the law, and there is no need to be extrajudicially merciful. Let the people of the capital be bullied by villains, this is a great righteousness! ”

If you have such an attitude, it will be much easier! The emperor glanced at Concubine Zhou, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated. Soon, the emperor realized that Concubine Zhou's words were beady, and he finally understood, and spread out Zhou Lin's affairs for interrogation, not only did the reputation of the Son of Heaven, the eldest son of the emperor, and Concubine Zhou not be damaged, but also did not hide it, and questioned the guilt according to the law, which just demonstrated the justice and righteousness of the royal family, which became a political plus for the eldest son of the emperor.

Hey, there's no need to put it on hold! The emperor was in a happy mood, "It's rare that you understand righteousness so well!" For the gang of family members in the Zhou Mansion, I will issue an order to ask for guilt in accordance with the law and punish him severely, but Zhou Lin is still young and has a good conscience, so I will treat him with the courtesy of the 'Eight Discussions' and give him a light sentence. ”

"Your Majesty, what about Concubine Zhou's sister?" The queen whispered.

"Eh, the whereabouts of the Lu family are unknown, there is no way to find out, and the queen doesn't need to mention this matter again." The emperor said lightly.

Concubine Zhou paused again, "Your Majesty, Brother Lin has not committed a murder, but he has committed a lot of evil deeds, please send him to Tielingwei or Nandan to the border!" ”

Well, it's too heavy, it's not okay! The emperor quickly vetoed Concubine Zhou's proposal in his heart. Many times, people can't die to carry, they must know how to take a detour, and they can often get the best results by planning for the worst, at this time, this is the case, Concubine Zhou put on a look of knowing the righteousness, and did not hesitate to push her younger brother into a very dangerous situation, but because of this, the emperor loved the house and Wu, but he was moved by compassion for Zhou Lin.

The emperor looked at Wang Zhen with deep meaning.

Wang Zhen approached, "Your Majesty, those family members can all be taken into custody, but it is not appropriate to let Zhou Lin be imprisoned. The top priority was to persuade the king of Yue to let Zhou Lin go. ”

King Yue, you guy who causes trouble everywhere! The emperor's thoughts returned to Zhu Qiming, but he did not speak, but waited there for Wang Zhen's next words.

"Aren't the Yue Mansion Governor Shi and more than a dozen guards still confined in the imperial city? Since His Majesty has made a decision on the affairs of the Zhou family, it is meaningless to imprison Ouyang Tong and the others, so it is better to release them to relax the king's heart. ”

The emperor's heart moved, thinking that in order to hold back the trouble of the second daughter of the Zhou family, he did not hesitate to imprison the insiders of Yuefu, but now it seems that this move is still too hasty and unfair to King Yue.

"Yes, yes, yes, quickly release the people of Yuefu!" The emperor frowned, "Do you want to let King Yue see His Majesty in advance, and I apologize to him in person?" ”

"Not necessarily. It is not appropriate to mention anything about the Zhou family in front of King Yue, in the eyes of the old slave, His Majesty does not know the past and today's events in Zhuolu Mountain, His Majesty only needs to send a large man to negotiate with King Yue. ”

"Who's going to negotiate."

"Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

The emperor nodded slowly, and then smiled at Concubine Zhou, "Concubine Ai, please get up." Come on, go and get clothes for Concubine Zhou, ouch, don't freeze yourself on such a cold day. ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Slut, count you ruthless! Seeing that Concubine Zhou was getting up as a victor, the queen could not hide the disappointment on her face.
