"Your Royal Highness, now you have seen the fate of the vassal kings, either stay in the capital and be detained like a prisoner, or be sealed as a king in a wild land, you were originally the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you were deposed because of a moment of resentment of Your Majesty, and now whether Your Majesty is really sick or fake, you should stand up and let Your Majesty know your existence."

As the head of the cabinet, Gao Hongtu is inconvenient to contact with the princes, but in his heart, like most civil officials, he hopes to restore Huiwang Zhu Cihong to the crown prince, so he now instructs Hua Yuncheng and others to have close contact with Huiwang Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong was also very obedient to the words of Hua Yuncheng, the secretary of the ministry, and now Hua Yuncheng said this, and nodded with it:

"What Mr. said, Lone understands, Lone will go to the palace to see his mother, and he will help you settle the matter of peace, which will also break the third brother's desire to accumulate fame by relying on the Northern Expedition!"

Hua Yuncheng, the secretary of the ministry, saw that Zhu Cihong went to the direction of the palace, and couldn't help but smile with relief: "Your Highness can also be regarded as a benefit, and you know that you have to take precautions." ”

Here, Zhu Cihuan, the king of Ding, also bid farewell to Liu Wanchun, the head of the household: "Sir, rest assured, Zhu Cihuan will enter the palace to see his mother!" ”

"Then Your Highness will forgive Weichen for not being able to send each other, now Your Majesty is willing to see your brothers fight, since that position can be fought for, it doesn't matter if you can't fight, it's a big deal to go thousands of miles away to be a king."

Liu Wanchun also said with a smile.

Empress Zhou sometimes feels that she is quite lonely, and she also wants to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to speak to herself, and she is also afraid that if she continues to be so cold, she will not even have the relationship between husband and wife, and even affect the harmony of the royal family relationship even more.

Now she also wants to open a little, since she is the queen, there are some things that the queen still has to do, and she has also met these new nobles one by one, and rewarded these nobles with some gifts according to the two differences between being fortunate by His Majesty or not being lucky.

Empress Zhou is now waiting for Zhu Youzhen to appear.

She decided not to bother with the crown prince anymore.

Because even if she is the queen, she really can't control the emperor's mind.

"Go and summon Concubine Yuan!"

Empress Zhou found that her emperor had not come for a long time, and she was also suspicious.

Concubine Yuan is Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan plays the role of Zhu Youzhen's personal maid.

Thus.

Queen Zhou had no will, and it was inconvenient to go to see Zhu Youzhen, so she could only call Chen Yuanyuan.

"Niangniang, Concubine Yuan replied that Your Majesty is unwell and she can't come."

The palace maid's words made Zhou Hou feel a chuckle in her heart.

She didn't even know that her majesty was sick!

After the week, I couldn't help but feel guilty and anxious.

"Your Majesty is sick! When was this? ”

Zhou Hou stood up suddenly, and he was about to hurry to Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Zhu Cihong, the king of Hui, came over.

"Erchen has seen the queen mother!"

"The son heard that his father was sick, and he couldn't sleep these days, and his heart was uneasy!"

"The sons and daughters have come to implore the queen mother to allow the sons and daughters to come and visit their father."

Huiwang Zhu Cihong just finished speaking.

On the other side, Dingwang Zhu Cihuan also came over.

"Queen Mother, I heard that my father has been sick for a few days?"

"The son was in a hurry to enter the palace, and wanted to ask his father what kind of illness he had, and why he hadn't been to the court for a few days."

Is he sick?

And have been sick for a long time?

I haven't even been to court for a few days?

How irresponsible is it to be the queen.

He was so sick that I didn't know it!

Queen Zhou's heart suddenly twisted like a knife.

The guilt in my heart deepened again.

But when Empress Zhou saw that King Ding and King Hui cared so much about their father, she was also a little relieved.

"Good emperor, it's hard for you to be so benevolent and filial."

Zhou Hou said that he took King Hui and King Ding to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Zhou Hou sent someone to ask to see him.

And at this time.

Chen Yuanyuan's voice came from inside: "The queen mother and your Royal Highness, please forgive me, Your Majesty's illness, the imperial doctor said that you need to lie down and recuperate, it is inconvenient to see people, and please go back with your Royal Highness." ”

"What kind of disease does Your Majesty have, and how can you not see people?"

Zhou Hou asked a little anxiously.

"It's not a serious illness, but I need to recuperate, and I will be better in a few days."

Chen Yuanyuan replied with some trepidation, she really didn't know how to lie and deceive these people.

"It will be fine in a few days, how many days will it be, Weichen has been waiting here for almost a month!"

At this time, Shoufu Gao Hongtu appeared outside the Qianqing Palace at some point, and bowed to the queen and King Hui.

Zhou Hou was also puzzled, but she also knew that the Qianqing Palace was a forbidden place, and she was not allowed to enter it without the permission of the emperor.

So the whole situation is deadlocked here.

However, at this time, King Hui couldn't help but say: "Queen Mother, how can there be any strange illness in this world, it can't be that there is something wrong with my father." ”

"That is, Queen Mother, who knows if this concubine is a spy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whether she will murder her father, if we keep waiting outside like this, who knows when we will wait."

Dingwang Zhu Cihuan also echoed at this time.

However, the two princes did not step forward after being instructed by Gao Hongtu, and only added oil and vinegar to the side.

But Zhou Hou, who really cared about Zhu Youzhen, became more and more worried the more he listened, and began to feel that there was something greasy in this.

Bang!

Zhou Hou directly pushed open the door of the Qianqing Palace.

"Queen Mother, you can't come in, Your Majesty said that no one is allowed to come in without his will."

Chen Yuanyuan still insisted on stopping in front of Queen Zhou.

"Get out of the way! The palace wants to see the emperor, and if something happens, it's a big deal that the palace will bear it alone! ”

After the week, the worried husband said that he was going to go inside.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen walked out of it.

"What are you doing here in the morning, are the rules of the palace child's play?"

Zhu Youzhen asked.

King Hui and King Ding, as well as Shoufu Gao Hongtu, were stunned in place.

"Your Majesty, they said you were sick, what disease did you have?"

Only Zhou Hou didn't have any fear at all, and still asked Zhu Youzhen with concern.

Zhu Youzhen held a pair of soft wattles after Zhou, and said with a smile: "You still care about me, I am not sick, but I occasionally feel a cold, and people are a little tired recently, so I have rested for a while, you go back to Kunning Palace first, and I will come to you again in the evening, I have to deal with the backlog of government affairs now." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhou Hou put his mind at ease, so he had to retreat.

At this time, as soon as Zhou Hou left, Zhu Youzhen slapped the table suddenly: "Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihuan, Gao Hongtu, you are so bold!" I have made an order, unless I am called, I must not come to the Qianqing Palace to disturb my peace! Is my words a deaf ear? ”

Hui Wang Zhu Cihong prostrated down first: "The father is angry, and the sons are only worried about hearing that their father is sick, so they only went to the queen mother to inquire about their father's condition, but they never expected that the queen mother was worried about their father's heart, so they pushed open the door of the Qianqing Palace and asked their father to forgive him!" ”

"Yes, the queen mother is also unintentional, and the sons have also persuaded her, and now she has disobeyed the holy decree of her father, and I ask your father to forgive the queen mother and her sons for the crime of driving wildly!"

Dingwang Zhu Cihuan also shouted.
