Looking at Xiao Qijin exiting the Qingyuan Palace, in the eyes of the emperor, the cold qi kills.

In just over a month, the crown prince was assassinated twice, if the prince is killed, who will benefit the most? This made the emperor have to re-examine the son of King Ping.

Since the eldest son born to the queen died of illness, Xiao Qijin began to rely on the queen, and the childless queen seemed to pin her hopes for the future on Xiao Qijin.

The queen's love made Xiao Qijin, who was lowly by her biological mother, get rid of the shadow brought by her biological mother.

Because of the queen's training and support, Xiao Qijin has gradually shown her talents, and her edge has caught up with the prince.

Especially after the queen's niece became Princess Ping, Xiao Qijin's inheritance of Longen seems to be even more than the crown prince, and she can already compete with the crown prince.

The emperor looked at Xiao Qijin, who disappeared outside the hall, and picked up a note from the north.

This is the queen's brother, Wang Dingyi, the general of Zhenbei, from the north.

In addition to reporting the situation in the north to His Majesty the Emperor, he also asked how the Empress Mother was doing.

Since the Battle of Wangyaling, the queen's brother has replaced the mighty general Chen Changqing to garrison the northern border, and the northern border has been peaceful since then, and there has been no more fighting.

Looking at the other letter that was still in the middle of the song, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.

Liu Shangzhong, who had been bowing his waist, just raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor, he couldn't understand what the emperor's smile meant, the holy will could not be guessed, and he quickly lowered his head.

This is General Wang's letter to the empress, this letter written on the queen's personal receipt, could have been sent directly to the queen's palace, and the family letter was sandwiched in the official letter, and the emperor understood what General Wang meant.

"Drive the Fengqi Palace."

The Emperor put the music away and stood up from the dragon chair with the letter from General Wang to the Empress.

Liu Shangzhong hurried over and helped the emperor to walk outside the hall.

Fengqi Palace is not far from the Qingyuan Hall of the Arctic Palace, and the emperor often walked over in previous years.

Now the emperor's dragon body is graceful and generous, and he needs to ride the Fengqi Palace.

Liu Shangzhong hurried in steps, and followed the emperor's steps towards Fengqi Palace, the emperor closed his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

In front of Fengqi Palace, the emperor stepped down, raised his eyes and looked in the direction he came, before entering Fengqi Palace.

A palace maid had already gone in to report to the queen, and the queen came out to greet her.

"Your Majesty has time to come to Fengqi Palace today, I said that there are magpies calling on the branches early in the morning."

The emperor was supported by Liu Shangzhong, and on the other hand, he was held by the empress and slowly entered the Fengqi Palace.

After sitting down, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at the queen with a pearl head, and the queen was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"Why does Your Majesty look at the concubine like this? Is the concubine old? ”

The emperor smiled and turned his head to look at Liu Shangzhong.

Liu Shangzhong is also half a hundred, but his temples are already gray.

Liu Shangzhong saw the emperor looking at him, leaned forward, put down his hands respectfully, and smiled on his beardless face.

"Your Majesty is looking at the minister's ugly face all day long, but now I see that the mother is in her prime, so I sigh that the minister's time is fleeting, and the mother Shaohua lives forever."

Liu Shangzhong said that the queen became more and more radiant, and even the emperor laughed.

After some greetings, the emperor took out the letter from the north from his sleeve, and the queen was overjoyed when she saw her brother's handwriting, but she did not immediately read it.

The emperor accompanied the queen to dinner before leaving the palace.

The queen had the intention to stay, as if she was worried about something, and when she saw that the emperor drank a glass of wine, she was also a little drunk, so she sent the emperor out of the palace with a smile.

As soon as the emperor left, Xiao Qijin flashed out of the side door of the hall.

"Your Majesty didn't show the anger you said, but are you too careful? Scared and hiding? ”

"Erchen is only afraid that my father will see me and lose the interest in laughing and chatting with my mother, so I avoid it."

Queen Wang said that Xiao Qijin was too careful, and asked Xiao Qijin if she stayed in the palace for dinner.

"Thank you Niangniang, no matter how late the son is, he will go back to accompany the princess to dinner."

When the queen heard this, she smiled comfortingly, and said in a kind voice:

"Seeing that you and the princess are in love, this palace is also happy, and it has been in vain for many years to plan for you."

"Erchen will not forget the support of his mother, and he will repay it one day."

"The princess's father has a letter from the north?"

Xiao Qijin had already seen the letter, and the queen didn't say it, he had already guessed the reason why the emperor was driving the Fengqi Palace, but he was afraid that if the letter did not come in time, the assassination of the prince would affect him.

"Be careful in your actions in the future."

After the queen finished speaking, she no longer stayed with Xiao Qijin, Xiao Qijin said goodbye to the queen, and left the palace to go to King Ping's mansion.

The emperor came out of Fengqi Palace, although he went in the direction of the Arctic Palace, but in front of the Arctic Palace, he did not get down, but kept moving forward and came to the Baguio Palace.

Concubine Hui in Baguio Palace is the biological mother of Prince Xiao Qiyi, and the emperor saw the prince and Concubine Hui come out to greet him, with a sincere smile on his face.

Concubine Hui entered the palace at the age of fourteen, when the emperor was still the crown prince, and Concubine Hui, who is not confused at the age of now, is like a woman in her early thirties, very attractive.

Concubine Hui is a woman born in an ordinary eunuch family, not as charming as a woman in the prince's and nobles' mansions, but her heart is very pure, and the emperor has always liked such a woman, because his biological mother was born ordinary.

"King Ping's kid is in the queen's Fengqi Palace, but he is hiding and doesn't dare to see me, who doesn't know that the queen is assisting him single-handedly?"

Seeing that the emperor was dissatisfied, Concubine Hui did not complain about the assassination of the crown prince, and the emperor could see that it was adding fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty dissipates your anger, and drinks tea to dissipate your appetite."

The emperor looked at the gentle and virtuous Concubine Hui, and then looked at Xiao Qiyi, who looked as graceful as Concubine Hui when she was young, and felt more and more sorry for their mother and son.

"Don't worry, I won't let their wishes come true, but Wang Dingyi has a meritorious service in garrisoning the northern border, and I can't make General Wang feel cold."

Xiao Qiyi nodded yes, who let the mother concubine's family have only a dying father, and there is no brother to help.

Concubine Hui nodded gratefully, Xiao Qiyi took advantage of this time to mention that Mu Yannu sacrificed her life to save her, and the emperor sighed that he had raised a good daughter in the imperial history.

Xiao Qiyi regretted that he didn't tell his mother in advance, otherwise, at this time, the mother would propose to marry, and she would definitely be able to make the little beauty the crown princess, or temporarily accept her as a good woman.

In order not to disturb his father and mother, Xiao Qiyi said goodbye to the East Palace.

Cao Ruren brought tea with a smile, and Xiao Qiyi found that Cao Ruren was very delicate these days.

Seeing Xiao Qiyi staring at her fixedly, Cao Ruren took the opportunity to fall into Xiao Qiyi's arms.

"Cao Niangzi, the maidservant who told you that day that the girl of the Mu family is also going to appreciate the lotus, is it time to come to Linze Palace?"

"That's a rough palace maid who cleans outside the palace, and she is generally not allowed to enter the palace, and I don't know when she came to Linze Palace, so I have to ask the insider in charge."

"What's her name?"

Cao Ruren was puzzled, that palace maid looked very ordinary, and no one paid attention to it in the crowd, and the prince, who had always had a high vision, should not look down on that kind of woman.

"I heard someone call her herbs."

"Come on, bring me the cheap maid named Fangcao outside the hall."

The chamberlain was ordered to go out, and he would come back in a short time to report it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the palace maid named Fangcao is dead."
