"Ahem, ahem!"

"Father, how are you feeling today?" The eldest grandson kite patted the chest of the eldest grandson and helped him sit up, "How is the spirit today?" ”

"It's better!" The eldest grandson coughed lightly, "What did the Queen Mother say when she entered the palace today?" ”

The eldest grandson kite sneered: "The queen mother wants me to enter the palace to marry Your Majesty, and I don't know if she is old and confused, how can she have such an idea!" If I want to enter the palace, why should I wait until today? ”

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, I still can't make a real decision between my son and us! To this day, he is still persuading me to give up some and be an obedient dog at His Majesty's feet, in this case, my bones are indispensable! Changsun Hu coughed and laughed, "It's a pity that I have hard bones and can't be someone else's dog!" ”

"The Queen Mother wants me to enter the palace, just to use the majestic place of the palace to contain me, and also to restrain you, father!" The eldest grandson kite smiled shallowly, but her tone became more and more cold, "Between us and Your Majesty, she still chose her own son after all!" Today, under the pretense of teaching the five princes, they will beat me! ”

"She had a choice, and it was expected!" The eldest grandson said coldly, "This mother and son are too ungrateful, if I hadn't fought to protect them back then, would their mother and son be safe today?" When I arrived, I won't even be left to enjoy my old age in peace, and the white-haired people will send the black-haired people! How did you respond to her words? ”

"Since you refused, you no longer rely on her, what are you afraid of?" The eldest grandson said disdainfully, "I took Bai Siyuan as a cover, if the Queen Mother really wants me to enter the palace, she has to help us find out Bai Siyuan together!" ”

"Hmm!" Eldest Sun Hu nodded, "You have a sense of proportion in these things, you don't need me to remind you, you have to do three things now, one is to make full use of Yan Shuge and do everything possible to control the big people in the capital." The second is about the people in the palace of the king of Chu, you have to monitor to see if there is any connection with the second prince, this time to Mount Tai, the second prince should also accompany him, then this matter in the capital, His Majesty will inevitably entrust the queen mother and the king of Chu to his trust, then the second prince and the palace of Chu will be separated! Third, you must be extremely cautious in your dealings with the three princes, and you can't make any mistakes! ”

"Yes, father, daughter knows how to do it!" The eldest grandson said with lowered eyes.

Chu Wangfu.

"Lord Wang, it's time to drink the medicine!" Concubine Liu entered with a medicine bowl, only to see that the king of Chu was practicing calligraphy, she didn't dare to disturb, she waited quietly on the side for a while, and when the king of Chu stopped, she stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's going to be cold, drink it while it's hot!" ”

"Well, put it down, this king will drink it later!" King Chu said lightly.

Concubine Liu had no intention of leaving, and bit her lip with a tangled face and said, "Lord Wang, there is a sentence, the concubine doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"You do things in a measured way, you can talk about it if you think you should talk about it, and you don't talk about it if you shouldn't talk about it!" The king of Chu admired his calligraphy, did not raise his eyes, and said lightly.

"A few days ago, the prince never went out of the room, and he couldn't even see the face of the prince!" Concubine Liu said, "The concubine thought that the prince was seriously ill, and she was very worried...... Later, the concubine finally figured out that there were other people hiding in the prince's room! ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" King Chu raised his eyes and asked in a slightly cold voice.

"Lord Wang!" Concubine Liu suddenly knelt down, "The concubine knows that the prince is a person who values love and righteousness, and the concubine admires the prince's personality in her heart, but the prince sometimes acts too risky, and the concubine is really scared into a cold sweat about yesterday's events, even if the prince doesn't think about himself, he has to think about it for the Chu Palace, the county lord and the prince are still young, how can they bear to implicate them!" ”

Concubine Liu paused and said: "The prince has always wanted to be an idle prince, and he has been doing it for decades, why do you want to go through this troubled water now?" Mrs. is peaceful, isn't it good to go down and live a long way? ”

The King of Chu glanced at Concubine Liu with an expressionless face, and said: "Although this king is just an idle prince, this king is also a royal clansman, and the responsibilities he bears are impossible for this king to be free for a lifetime!" As for the danger you mentioned, if everyone knows that it is a dangerous thing, they all retreat, and it has nothing to do with themselves, then who should defend the land of the Great Zhou, who should clear the righteousness of the court, and who should protect the dawn people of the world? ”

The king of Chu sighed slightly and said: "You don't understand what this king has done, this king doesn't blame you, if you are afraid of being affected by this king, this king can give you a letter of resignation, so that you can move out of the Chu Wangfu and cut off all relations with the Chu Wangfu from now on!" ”

Concubine Liu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the concubine body definitely doesn't mean this!" The concubine loves the prince and is willing to live and die with the prince, it is by no means a burden, the concubine just feels afraid, afraid that what happened in the capital more than ten years ago will happen again in the palace, the bloody rain at that time, everyone can not forget the concubine body! ”

"Get up!" The king of Chu said, "Just do what you have to do, don't think about other things, and don't ask too much!" The wind and rain will pass, everything will be fine, and you don't need to be afraid, everything has this king! ”

"Yes!" Concubine Liu wiped her tears and said, "The concubine knows!" ”

At this moment, I saw a decree coming from the palace, asking the King of Chu to enter the Fengxi Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to dinner.

The King of Chu was silent for a moment, asked Concubine Liu to wait for him to change his clothes, and then went to Fengxi Palace.

"I heard that yesterday, His Majesty asked you to play chess for an afternoon?" After dinner, the King of Chu helped the Queen Mother to take a walk in the back garden, and the Queen Mother asked inadvertently.

"Yes!" King Chu nodded and said, "Brother Huang hasn't had such an interest for a long time!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs these days, and it is rare to have such a relaxing time!" The Queen Mother said, "Since your imperial brother likes to play chess, if you are free in the future, you will go to the palace to accompany him for recreation, he has had too hard!" ”

"Yes, Erchen wrote it down!"

"Your Majesty didn't just come to you yesterday to play chess, did he?" The Queen Mother asked again, "You are born in the mourning family, the mourning family doesn't play with you, the mourning family asks you, do you know the whereabouts of Bai Siyuan?" ”

The king of Chu was silent, he could deny it, but he couldn't deceive his mother, so he could only be silent.

The Queen Mother sighed softly and said: "Thirty years ago, not long after your imperial brother ascended the throne, several powerful ministers of the previous dynasty thought that you were young and easy to bully, and wanted to make you the emperor, but you didn't want your imperial brother to be embarrassed, resigned from all positions, locked himself in the palace and pretended to be crazy and stupid, and broke off the thoughts of those people. Since then, your imperial brother's throne has been stable, and you have been allowed to serve in the court, but you still shirk it, you just don't want your imperial brother to be suspicious of you, it's been more than 20 years, why is there a problem now? How can you not be cold when you call the mourning family? ”

She paused and continued: "The mourning family has always felt indebted to you, and the mourning family's energy has always been on your imperial brother's body, and they have never cared about you well, but you are all the meat that fell from the queen mother's body, and the queen mother loves you as distressed, I hope you can grow old in peace!" Your imperial sister is already like this, and the remaining three of you, the mourning family doesn't want to see you have an accident! ”

"The queen mother can rest assured that the son-in-law will not let herself have an accident, and she will not let the queen mother worry!" King Chu said.

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, stopped and looked into the eyes of the King of Chu and asked, "What if the mourning family asks you to hand over Bai Siyuan?" ”

King Chu sighed deeply: "Do these still make sense?" The queen mother knew that the matter had reached the point of no return, why was she still so stubborn? The queen mother asked herself, between the uncle and the royal brother, is the queen mother not responsible at all? ”

King Chu swallowed his saliva and continued: "The queen mother's concessions and difficulties to Huang Xi are seen in her eyes, for the insatiable greed of Duke Qiyang, and for the eldest grandson's family's inches, you are also in your eyes, but for the tolerance of the imperial brother, you turn a blind eye, and you are quite conniving for the eldest grandson's family, the imperial brother is not a person who does not know gratitude, if it wasn't for the support of Duke Qiyang back then, if it wasn't for the queen mother's support, if it wasn't for the queen mother's sadness, why did he drag it to this point?" Any kindness will be consumed by disappointment again and again, if the queen mother you see the situation clearly earlier, knock on the eldest grandson's family earlier, maybe not to this point, since the queen mother has already done wrong, now don't make trouble for the royal brother, you just sit quietly in the Fengxi Palace, and watch how the imperial brother cleans up the current mess! ”

"You! You! The Queen Mother was shocked by the words of the King of Chu, who had always been gentle, and she stumbled two steps, and the King of Chu held her up in time, and she sighed, "Is it all the fault of the mourning family?" ”

"You can't say it all!" King Chu said, "When the imperial brother let the eldest grandson's family grow, why didn't he hope that the eldest grandson's family could do things for him!" The queen mother has her own situation, she just did what she should do when she went out of her own country! It's just that the queen mother should now be clear that it is impossible to do both, and it is necessary to reduce the sacrifice and internal friction as much as possible, and the position of the queen mother must not be shaken anymore! The royal power is always infused with blood, and the queen mother should not be a stranger to walking through that road! ”

The Queen Mother originally planned to persuade the King of Chu to stay out of the matter, but she didn't expect to be told by the King of Chu against the guest, and she was stunned for a while, unable to refute it, so she had to smile helplessly: "The mourning family is really old, and it will never be used again!" I'm afraid that if I continue to participate, it's just a joke, and the mourning family doesn't care anymore, that's it! ”
