False proclamation of the Holy Decree and disobedience of the Holy Decree.

When the news of the second prince's imprisonment came, Princess Jingyun was so frightened that she almost fainted, and wanted to enter the palace to find Qi Guifei to inquire about what happened, but she didn't expect that before the gate of the palace could step out, the Imperial Forest Army had already surrounded the second prince's mansion, and everyone in the second prince's mansion was not allowed to enter or exit, which means that she was under house arrest in the palace.

Even though the prince was imprisoned last time, it did not endanger the Chu Palace, and this time the second prince's accident caused the entire second prince's mansion to be involved. No one doubts that this is just His Majesty wanting to teach this son a lesson, but he fell into a kind of panic, falsely preaching the holy decree, disobeying the holy order, and making a slight mistake, this is the crime of beheading all over the house!

Princess Jingyun is pregnant, not only has to worry about the safety of her husband in prison, but also has to stabilize the hearts of the second prince's mansion.

On this day, the whole capital is watching and speculating, but I still faintly feel that although His Majesty has committed a heavy crime to the second prince, after all, it is a father and son, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are too young, only the second prince is worthy of the big responsibility, His Majesty will not let the succession to the throne as a child's play, many people have such thoughts, so when the real thing happens, it will make people feel so caught off guard.

Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.

"I've seen the Queen Mother!"

"Sit down!" The Queen Mother coughed lightly, "It's not easy to meet you now!" ”

"Recently, I have been busy with government affairs, and I have not often come to say goodbye to the queen mother, and ask the queen mother to atone for her sins!" Emperor Zhou clenched his fists and pleaded, "I heard the imperial doctor say that the queen mother's body has been a little bad in the past two days, and she should have a good rest, why did she get up?" After helping his mother, go to the dormitory to rest! ”

"I'm afraid that if I don't see you now, I won't be able to see you in the future!" The Queen Mother coughed twice and said, "Then what the mourning family wants to say, they may not have a chance to tell you!" ”

"What does the queen mother want to say, listen to it!" Emperor Zhou said softly.

The Queen Mother sighed and asked, "Mourning family and asking you, why did you let the second child go to prison?" A while ago, he was the prince, and now he is the second prince, how are you going to toss? ”

"Erchen is not idle and has nothing to do, to find trouble with a few young people, they are really too disagreeable!" Emperor Zhou said helplessly, "Don't talk about it for the time being, the second child is really disappointed by me this time!" He falsely passed on my commands and intercepted my holy decrees, is this what a son of man and a vassal can do? If he is not a prince, it is still like this, and there is no guarantee that more excessive things will not happen in the future! ”

"The mourning family doesn't want to hear this, no matter what heinous mistakes the second child makes, you have to promise the mourning family that you can't ask for the second child's life!" The Queen Mother said sonorously, staring at Emperor Zhou without giving a step, "You will promise the mourning family now!" ”

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Zhou smiled a little helplessly, "There is still the code of the Great Zhou in front of me, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and it cannot be abolished because of me alone, please understand the queen mother!" ”

The Queen Mother's face turned pale: "You mean, you must kill the second child?" ”

"I didn't say that!" Emperor Zhou said, "It's not that I haven't given him a chance, as long as he is willing to change his mind, he is still my good son!" ”

"The mourning family will go to the prison tomorrow to persuade him!" The Queen Mother said and unconsciously burst into tears, "The eldest is gone, the fourth is gone, and the third is gone...... The mourning family can't afford to lose any more grandchildren! Your Majesty, if you hurt their brothers again, you are going against the mourning family, and you are going to mourn the life of the mourning family! ”

"The queen mother, the sons dare not make the queen mother angry!" Emperor Zhou comforted, "As long as the second child knows his mistake, Erchen will definitely not embarrass him again, and will not hesitate to give him the position of crown prince, train him as my successor, and let him become the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”

"Good, good!" The Queen Mother wiped her tears, "Remember your words today, if they have a case, the mourning family will die in front of you!" ”

"The queen mother must not speak angrily!" Emperor Zhou said, "This makes Erchen feel bad in his heart!" ”

Emperor Zhou still has a lot of things to deal with, after comforting the queen mother, he went back to the imperial study to see the courtiers who came to report on political affairs, the queen mother half leaned on the soft couch, thought for a while, and asked people to call Qi Guifei over.

"Your Majesty just came to the mourning family for a trip, although your majesty did not say bluntly what to do with the second child, although the mourning family is old and useless, but it is not something he can easily perfunctory, the mourning family understands your majesty, if it is not for the fact that he has made up some kind of determination in his heart, he will not be easily exposed, once it is exposed, I am afraid that there will be few opportunities to change, I am afraid that he really wants the life of the second child!"

The Queen Mother said and glanced at Concubine Qi, only to see this woman who had always been cold as if everything had nothing to do with her, her face changed slightly at this moment, and her body stiffened, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, it turned out that she would still be worried about her son.

"But Your Majesty still has a glimmer of hope, you go to the prison to persuade the second child, let the second child listen to his father's words, don't go against his father, as long as he is willing to let go and confess his guilt to his father, his father will not really pursue it!"

"Yes!" Concubine Qi nodded and said, "Concubine is going to the heavenly prison!" ”

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "The mourning family is old, and it is inconvenient to move, you are his mother, he should listen to you!" ”

"Yes!"

Qi Guifei walked out of Fengxi Palace, her body trembled slightly because of fear, she had never been afraid of the man who stood at the pinnacle of power, but this time he was really afraid that he would hurt his son. Tiger poison does not eat children, but this sentence will never be applied to His Majesty, no one will ever guess how hard and cold his heart is, he can kill the first prince and kill the third child for power, then he can also kill the second child!

After returning from Mount Tai, she knew that their mother and son would lose the emperor's favor one day, she would rather die by herself and be beaten into the cold palace than watch her only son have an accident, even if she was demoted to a concubine, as long as she was alive, she could always accept it in her heart.

Concubine Qi came to the prison and asked the palace people to wait outside, and the jailer led her forward.

The prison was dark and damp, with a musty smell of stale and disgusting.

"Niangniang, the second prince is here, let's talk, the little one is guarding outside!" The jailer bent over and laughed.

"Thank you!" Qi Guifei said lightly, rewarded him with a jade pendant, and the jailer retreated happily.

The lights were very dim, and I could only see Zhao Yan's outline clearly, not his face clearly, and his expression at the moment.

Qi Guifei sorted out her mood, took a few steps forward, and called softly: "Yan'er? ”

"Mother?" Zhao Yan hurriedly got up and walked towards the prison door, "Why is the concubine here?" This is not good, it is not the place where the mother should come, the mother should go back quickly! ”

"My son is here, why can't I, as a mother, come and see him?" Qi Guifei touched Zhao Yan's face distressedly, "Child, you have suffered!" ”

"Erchen is a man, a soldier, and has been in a difficult environment, so what kind of hardship is it here?" Zhao Yan said with a smile, "The concubine's body is weak, it's too damp here, the concubine should go back quickly!" ”

"The Queen Mother asked me to persuade you!" Qi Guifei said, "Your Majesty said that as long as you change your mind and no longer disobey his will, I won't pursue you!" ”

"The mother shouldn't have come to persuade me!" Zhao Yan paused and said, "Does the concubine know what my father asked me to do?" ”

"What is it?" Qi Guifei straightened Zhao Yan's broken hair and asked.

"He wants me to kill Zhao Ling!" Zhao Yan said.

Qi Guifei stiffened for a moment, was silent for a while, and said, "Child, the mother concubine can't make any decisions for you. Do you know that your father, the Emperor, wants to kill you? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yan lowered his eyes and said, "I guessed, he can't tolerate people who don't obey his authority, not to mention that this person is still the person who should surrender to him the most, I have already guessed this ending before I do anything, I am not afraid, and I do not regret it!" If I really surrender to him and want to kill my brother to save my life, then what difference am I from him? We worked hard before, for the name of the eldest brother, what is it for? Isn't it just for the little bit of grandeur in the chest? If I am a person who betrays my brother, what qualification do I have to talk about the eldest brother, and what qualification do I have to meet my brothers who were born and died together, I even look down on myself! ”

Qi Guifei didn't speak again, just wept silently, and said forbearingly: "He's too ruthless, he's too ruthless!" ”

She wiped her tears and said, "The mother concubine also just knew, Jingyun is pregnant!" ”

"What!" Zhao Yan's eyes widened, "She has been looking forward to this child for a long time, but now she is looking forward to it, but I am in prison!" Mother, my son asks you for one thing, their mother and daughter are innocent, I can't protect them anymore, my mother must protect their safety! ”

"Good!" Qi Guifei touched Zhao Yan's face, "The mother concubine is doing her best, and she won't let people hurt them!" Yan'er, although the mother's heart is like a knife, the mother supports any decision you make, and the mother is just reluctant to you, reluctant to you! Mother concubine go and beg your father now, let him open the net! ”

"Don't go, don't beg him!" Zhao Yan grabbed his mother's hand and said, "Doesn't the concubine know about him?" No one can sway his thoughts, and he will not be soft-hearted for anyone's plea, so why should the mother receive his cold eyes? Mother, after you go out, immediately send someone to tell the prince and his wife, let them not go back to the capital, the father will not let them go, let them go, go far away, and never come back! ”

"Good!" Qi Guifei wiped her tears, "I'll inform them!" My Yan'er, my son, no matter when, you are the pride of your mother! ”

"I can't repay my mother well in this life, I will be your son in the next life, and repay my mother's kindness!" Zhao Yan said with tears in his eyes.
