Fengxi Palace.

"I've seen the Queen Mother!"

"Sit down!" The Queen Mother asked Mama Qu to bring chilled lotus seed soup to Her Majesty to relieve the heat, and she also drank two sips herself, and asked, "You are here for the fifth child's business, right?" ”

"Not bad!" Emperor Zhou sighed, "It was my misdiscipline of him that made him make such a big mistake!" If this matter is not punished severely, I am afraid that the decree I am implementing now will be difficult, but he is young, if the punishment is too severe, I can't bear it, and I am worried about this matter! ”

The Queen Mother laughed: "You are the son of the mourning family, don't the mourning family still know you?" It's not that you feel sorry for this son, when have you ever softened your heart in the discipline of several sons? There are two concerns about you, one is that this happened when the second child was temporarily in charge of the government, and the second is that the fifth child is now following the concubine, if the fifth child is punished, the concubine is only afraid of being implicated, these two aspects are linked, I am afraid that I will leave a rhetoric, which is not good for your reserve plan! ”

"I can't hide it from the queen mother's eyes!" Emperor Zhou smiled and said.

"So, you've decided?" The Queen Mother smiled faintly.

"Since both me and the queen mother are inclined to the second child, there is nothing more to question about this matter!" Emperor Zhou said, "In the opinion of the queen mother, how should this matter be handled more appropriately? ”

"How does Lao Wu, a child who grew up in the deep palace, know how to open a gambling house?" The Queen Mother said coldly, "It must be the descendants behind it, and its purpose...... Needless to say, everyone understands, you just have to go and find out about it! ”

"Is this the queen mother's true words?" Emperor Zhou asked with a smile.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Zhou and sighed: "You don't have to play with the Mourning family, since the Mourning family has suggested that the second child be the prince, then the matter of the eldest grandson's family, the Mourning family has already made a decision in their hearts, it seems that it is time to let the younger brother of the Mourning family come to the capital, the Mourning family has not seen him for a long time!" ”

"The queen mother is clear!"

The Queen Mother's eyes rolled for a moment, and she groaned for a while and said: "This palm and back of the hand are all meat, you are the son of the mourning family, he is the brother of the mourning family, between you from the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side back then, to this point, it is the fault of the mourning family, the mourning family thought that if it were not for the eldest grandson, your throne would not be so stable, and it is the mourning family's mother's family, the mourning family has selfish intentions to make them more prominent, but all this is the wishful thinking of the mourning family, the mourning family miscalculated their ambitions, this power will indeed corrode people's hearts, Besides, the mourning family has mistaken you, you are the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, an ambitious emperor, and you can't tolerate anyone restricting your imperial power! It's enough for the eldest grandson's family, and the rest depends on their own creation! ”

"It's the son who is unfilial, which makes the queen mother embarrassed!" Emperor Zhou sighed.

"Your Majesty's troubles, the mourning family can help solve them!" The Queen Mother said again, "But there is a condition for the mourning family!" ”

"Queen Mother, please will!"

"You keep Jiang Xiaoyu just to be able to contain the eldest grandson family with the Bai family's affairs one day, but that is also the relatives of the mourning family, the mourning family can't bear it, and you have to rest assured that you have to get rid of Jiang Xiaoyu's troubles!" The Queen Mother said, "The condition of the mourning family is that Your Majesty will no longer be able to protect her from now on!" ”

The Queen Mother paused and continued: "Jiang Xiaoyu is a disaster to keep, how can it be for Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty can also see it, she wants to overturn the case for the Bai family, if she succeeds, then the eldest grandson family will be wiped out, not only that, but Your Majesty's prestige is also damaged, the past things will pass, the traces of the past should be cleared, keep it but an eyesore, but it is a constant reminder of what happened back then!" ”

"It's just that after all, she is the wife of the Chu Wangfu, and the king of Chu and the prince of Chu regard her very seriously, including the second child and her, who are friends of life and death, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to them!" Emperor Zhou said embarrassedly.

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "The second child and Jiang Xiaoyu are friends of life and death, if the second child succeeds to the throne in the future, they will inevitably thoroughly investigate the affairs of the year, the mourning family supports the second child, but they can't watch the mourning family's mother's family suffer a catastrophe, so no matter what aspect it is, Jiang Xiaoyu's life is a scourge, and the mourning family must get rid of this scourge!" If they want to blame, blame the mourning family, as long as Your Majesty doesn't protect it! ”

She lifted the hairpin on her head and said softly: "As long as you want to get rid of someone, there is always a righteous and bright reason, but it's just a little girl, can you turn the sky upside down?" ”

"I just listen to the queen mother in this matter, Jiang Xiaoyu's matter, I will not interfere in the future!"

"Your Majesty is an emperor through the ages, it is to be passed down through the ages, there can be no stain on the body, the mourning family is your mother, if there is anything embarrassing, the mourning family will do it!"

Emperor Zhou got up and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, and then turned to leave.

The Queen Mother sighed and pressed her temples: "A dilemma, after all, it's still a dilemma!" ”

The Three Princes' Mansion.

Zhao Ye looked at the panting Chang Dan, his heart was puzzled, and asked, "What happened, my father-in-law wants to come late at night?" ”

Chang Shan looked left and right, leaned into Zhao Ye's ear and whispered: "There is a big event, the slave just left the palace late at night to inform His Highness!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ye's heart was even more puzzled, "Father-in-law, please speak!" ”

"The slave heard His Majesty and the Queen Mother discuss the matter of the prince's candidate, they seem to be interested in the second highness, the queen mother said that the third prince is too ruthless, if you succeed to the throne, several princes will not survive, and said that in order to avoid fratricide, the third prince should be driven to the fiefdom, the farther away the better!" Chang Shan said hurriedly.

Zhao Ye's face changed, there was no blood on his face, and his eyes turned a little flustered: "Is this true?" ”

"The minions heard it with their own ears!" Chang Shan said anxiously, "Such a big thing, how dare a slave talk nonsense, His Royal Highness should think about it quickly, otherwise the general trend will really go!" ”

"I see!" Zhao Ye reluctantly calmed down, "Thank you father-in-law for the message!" ”

He said and gave a piece of jade pendant that he often played with to Chang Dan: "Father-in-law, if there is any situation in the palace in the future, please come and report it in time!" I won't treat my father-in-law badly! ”

"The slave is the person of the Three Highnesses, if the Three Highnesses succeed, the slaves will ascend to heaven, and the slaves will definitely do a good job!" Chang Dan Cheng accepted the jade pendant in fear, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the slave will retire first!" ”

"Father-in-law, go slowly!"

After sending Chang Dan away, Zhao Ye's gaze became completely gloomy, Father, Emperor and Grandmother, do you have to force me to a dead end? Zhao Ye is what makes you dissatisfied, you have to beat Zhao Ye to hell! It is you who have given me hope, do you have to crush my hope now, and let me go back to the time when I saw people's faces?

Following.

Princess Jingyun asked Jiang Xiaoyu and Lord Qiwen to visit the sick Su Xuan in the Three Princes' Mansion to dissipate the depression in her heart.

The three of them handed over the prayer note and were invited to Su Xuan's bedroom, although it has been some time since the miscarriage, but her body has not improved, she is still thin and skinny, her face is pale, and the whole person looks sick, which makes people feel distressed.

"I don't have the strength in my body, I can't get out of bed, I can't go to meet you, but I asked you to come to my room to sit, I've been sick for a few days, I'm afraid that the smell of medicine in this room is a little sicker, you should take care more!" Su Xuan said softly, there was no life between her eyebrows, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But don't say that!" Princess Jingyun said, "Although I have come to see you twice, but I can't relieve your depression, so that I really don't want to go in my heart, this time I called the two of them to talk to you, I hope you can get better as soon as possible!" ”

Qiwen looked at Su Xuan's appearance and only shed tears: "Last time, I saw that you were not as thin as you are now, how did you raise your body, why are you getting thinner and thinner?" If they don't take care of you, you move to where I live, I will take care of you, you look like this, people look distressed! ”

"It's nothing, they are also interested in me, it's my own body that doesn't fight!" Su Xuan smiled, "Don't cry, it's all big girls, others see jokes!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu sighed, took the pulse for Su Xuan, and was depressed in his heart, with this knot, he was depressed every day, how could this body be good?

"You have bitterness in your heart!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, she swallowed her saliva, leaned into Su Xuan's ear and said, "I'm afraid that this Three Princes' Mansion is not the place you should stay, the more you go on, your body will only get worse, you are doing it yourself, it is better to follow the previous plan, we will use the strategy of fake death to send you out!" ”

"No need!" Su Xuan shook her head gently, "I didn't approve of it at the beginning, and now it's even more unnecessary!" ”

She laughed leisurely, and there was no spirit in her eyes: "If you really want to go out, how can you fake your death!" ”

"Sister Su Xuan, don't talk nonsense!" Lord Qiwen said, "You get better quickly, when you get better, I'll take you to see the lotus, okay?" I know that there is a large lotus flower in Wang's house in the suburbs, it is Mohe, and only their family has planted it in the whole week, let's go and see it together! ”

"Okay, when I'm ready, I'll go with you!" Su Xuan still smiled softly and weakly.

Jiang Xiaoyu's heart sank, what was on Su Xuan's mind that would make her torture her body like this, but she was afraid that she didn't want to live anymore.

She glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and said: "I heard that your marriage with the prince of the world has been decided, I don't know if my body can survive until that day, I really hope to be able to see Brother Ling get married, and see Brother Ling happy!" ”

She grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said gently and pleadingly: "You and Brother Ling must grow old, you must be happy!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and nodded, sighing in his heart, what went wrong with this tangled fate?
