"It's just that I gave back a master to the five princes, and grounded him for a few days is considered a punishment!" The queen pressed her temples and said worriedly, "What is your father thinking about this?" Obviously, you just don't take this matter to heart, which doesn't seem to be in line with your father's temperament! ”

Zhao Ye bit his lip lightly, and was quite annoyed in his heart, and said with a sneer: "If this matter is a big fuss, it will inevitably affect the second brother, since he wants the second brother to be the prince, he must not let the second brother have the stain of being attacked at this time, so naturally he wants to let this matter pass smoothly without any danger!" ”

"It's just that you can tell this palace to hear this, and you must not lose your fighting spirit, as long as Your Majesty's holy decree is not issued for a day, this matter will not be conclusive for a day, and you must not be discouraged!" The queen sighed softly, "Your father's mind is unpredictable, do you know that today's decision will not change in the future?" Besides, the queen mother's mind is not something she can decide by herself, she still has to think about the eldest grandson's family, and there is still a person who has the right to speak in this matter, Qi Yanggong has not yet spoken! ”

"The words of the queen mother, the sons and daughters all understand, at this time, how dare the sons give up lightly? It's just that Erchen can't figure it out, it was he who opened my inner desire and gave me a taste of power, but he ruthlessly took away everything he gave me, does he really treat me as a son? I'm just a chess piece in his hand, a chess piece to sharpen the second brother, and a chess piece to test the eldest grandson's family! ”

He looked at the queen helplessly, his eyes reddened: "What's wrong with me, why don't you like me, I don't like me?" ”

The queen got up, walked to Zhao Ye's side, gently hugged his head in her arms, and persuaded softly: "Don't be presumptuous, the opinions of others are not in control of this palace, but in the heart of this palace, you are the best one!" ”

She can't remember how long His Majesty hasn't set foot in her dormitory, in those difficult long nights, only Ye'er is her expectation and future, she pinned the hope of the rest of her life on him, if His Majesty is the only mercy to her, I'm afraid it is to give her a support.

"If the son can get the throne, he will pour the whole world to support his mother, everyone in the world is fortunate to bear me, only the queen mother is sincere!" Zhao Ye buried his face in the queen's palm, "Only the queen mother and her sons depend on each other!" ”

While the mother and son were talking, there was a knock on the door, and the queen tidied up, regained her dignified majesty, and said coldly: "Come in!" ”

I saw a palace person hurriedly entering, and after seeing the ceremony, he said flatteringly: "Niangniang, the third prince, great joy!" ”

The queen asked questioningly, "Where did the joy come from?" ”

"The news just came that Concubine Qi was sent by His Majesty to Ganlin Temple to pray for the Buddha of the Queen Mother!" The palace man said happily.

"Is that true?" The queen asked in disbelief, this Concubine Qi is the only woman who has been with His Majesty for twenty years, and His Majesty will be willing to send her away?

"The holy decree has been issued, can there still be a fake?"

The queen's eyes rolled for a moment, and she always felt that things would not be so simple, so she waved her hand and said lightly: "This palace knows, you go down first!" ”

"Yes!"

"Did you really drive Qi Guifei to Mount Tai?" The queen was silent for a while and still felt a little surprised, since for the five princes, His Majesty has lightly dialed the matter over, then the Queen Mother's punishment of Qi Guifei will definitely be bypassed by His Majesty, I didn't expect that Qi Guifei would be sent directly to Mount Tai, "What does your father think?" ”

"If my father really plans to make his second brother the crown prince, at this critical time, he will definitely not let his biological mother leave the capital?" The third prince also felt a little strange, "What is the purpose of my father's move?" His treatment of the fifth brother is difficult to convince the public, and letting Qi Guifei leave the capital at this moment can cover up the mouths of the people, but the father really plans to use Qi Guifei to protect the fifth brother? ”

The queen was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I said earlier that your father's heart is elusive, maybe it's your chance!" Sending Qi Guifei away, doesn't it prove that he has no plans in his heart, at least for the time being, he has no intention of setting up your second brother, maybe it is just perfunctory in front of the Queen Mother, after all, if he wants to become a generation of holy masters, he will not allow his previous mistakes to be caught, in this regard, your second brother's stubbornness will definitely not compromise, and then there is the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is afraid that you will kill her grandson, isn't she afraid that her grandson will kill her mother's family? You just need to promise the Queen Mother that you won't do anything to your brother, and you have to make her old man believe it, but her old man is old, and who knows what will happen in the future! ”

"The queen mother is reasonable, but the sons still feel that this matter is strange, and they still need to send someone to investigate, what is the matter with Concubine Qi going to Ganlin Temple!" The third prince said with a deep groan.

"Yes, yes, it's better to be more appropriate!"

Naturally, in addition to cause and effect, there are also pros and cons, some people are happy about it, and some people are naturally worried.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Princess Jingyun served tea to a few people, sat down beside Zhao Yan, and asked worriedly: "The matter of the mother concubine, is there still room for maneuver?" Taishan has gone thousands of miles, and his father is too ruthless! ”

"Originally, the imperial grandmother removed the right of the mother concubine to assist in the harem, I still think it's nothing, the mother concubine originally didn't like disputes and preferred to be quiet, more things are better than less things, but I didn't expect that I didn't have anything to do with my fifth brother, but it made my mother suffer!" Zhao Yan said, "I will enter the palace later, let my father take back his will, if this matter needs to be taken care of by one person, all the punishments will be directed at me!" ”

"Don't be impulsive just yet!" Zhao Ling said, "If Your Majesty just needs to give an explanation to the courtiers, but you don't have to sacrifice the concubine, then Your Majesty must have his own plans!" Mount Tai is thousands of miles away from the capital, first of all, her safety can not be guaranteed, this is the biggest hidden danger, it is better to be safe in the palace, only by His Majesty's side, people with other scheming dare not have any action! ”

"No matter what my father's plans are, I don't worry about my mother going so far away!" Zhao Yan said, "I'll go to the palace now!" ”

Zhao Yan has always been very filial, he can't calmly analyze the pros and cons about his mother's concubine, and others are not easy to persuade him, running around for his mother's affairs is understandable, and it should be so.

Princess Jingyun looked at Zhao Ling and sighed leisurely, and said, "Originally, everyone was very happy about your marriage to Xiaoyu, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!" For now, the prince is still in charge of your marriage with Xiaoyu first, after all, this is a lifelong event, the matter of the mother's concubine, I and the second prince will find a way! ”

"The princess can't say that, the concubine is like a mother to Zhao Ling, the concubine's affairs are my affairs, I know it in my heart!" Zhao Ling said.

"I want to ask Shizi about something!" Princess Jingyun thought for a while and said, "Does Xiaoyu have a senior brother?" ”

"Yes! Does the princess also know each other? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's an old friend of mine!" Princess Jingyun smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Maybe you can see each other after you get married!" ”

"If the princess has no other commands, I will take my leave!" Zhao Ling said.

"Slow down!"

The second prince entered the palace and did not see Emperor Zhou, but was called by Qi Guifei, and he didn't know what Qi Guifei said to him, he knelt in front of the concubine's door for a night, but it did not change the ending, two days later, Qi Guifei left the capital in a low-key manner. Of course, the departure of the concubine from Beijing also caused a lot of speculation, before Emperor Zhou asked the second prince to stay in Beijing to let the big guy guess whether His Majesty intended to belong to him, but with the expulsion of Concubine Qi from Beijing, everyone focused on Zhao Ye again, could it be that His Majesty changed his mind again?

When Qi Guifei left the capital in a low-key manner, there was a person who returned to the capital in a low-key manner, this person was Sun Hu, the prince of Qiyang who had not appeared in the capital for a long time.

Zixin is still dressed in plain clothes, and she still looks so pitiful, but after her father was buried, the sadness on her face was a lot less, but there was a lot more perseverance.

"Did Miss Zixin figure it out when she asked me to come?" Jiang Yiran said, as for her murder, she was already out of prison by the eldest princess because there was no evidence, and the death of a Qin Hui was not pursued by her family, so the matter was naturally over.

She glanced at Zixin's face, and the corners of her mouth twitched and mocked: "After all, looking at the days, the marriage between this son and Jiang Xiaoyu is getting closer and closer, and Miss Zixin is also anxious when she thinks about it!" ”

Zixin bit her lip and said, "Since you know what is on my mind, do you have a way?" ”

"Before you ask me, I want to ask, how far can Miss Zixin's determination go?" Jiang Yiran asked coldly.

"I don't know!" Zixin hid her face and said weakly, "I'm just unwilling, I love him so much, why doesn't he look at me?" I can't get out of my misery, how can they be happy in front of my eyes? ”

"Now there are only two ways to stop their marriage, one is that my seriously ill grandmother finally breathed, and the second is that Jiang Xiaoyu is dying, which one do you think is better?" Jiang Yiran asked with a smile, but there was a ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Isn't that your grandmother? You curse her like this? Zixin looked at Jiang Yiran as if she was looking at a cold-blooded monster.

"It's not a curse, it's a blessing, it's torture that she lives now, it's Jiang Xiaoyu who is too selfish, so she drags and grinds!" Jiang Yiran sneered and said, "Moreover, she should have died a long time ago, if she had died earlier, maybe I wouldn't have had so many twists and turns in the future!" ”
