When Xuanyuan Che was shouted by the emperor to speak in the Divine Dragon Palace, several other palaces were waiting for news.

In the queen's Qifeng Palace, the crown prince and the crown princess were sitting together with the queen and drinking tea.

Looking out the window a little impatiently, the queen said, "It's been almost two hours, haven't you heard back yet?" "How much does the emperor and Xuanyuan Che have to say, it took so long.

"Queen Mother," Prince Xuanyuan Hao said, "The person sent just now came back and said that the fifth child has not been in the palace. ”

With a cold snort, the queen said: "The emperor really has the heart to wait for a son who is not valued for so long. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao immediately lowered his head, and his brows wrinkled uncontrollably a few times. He couldn't hear what the queen was saying. The emperor usually hates people who can't be punctual, and even when he wants to see the emperor, he will wait outside the palace a quarter of an hour in advance.

The queen is saying that she is incompetent.

Seeing that he was obviously not convinced, the queen sighed lightly, and then reached out to serve the teacup in front of her. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side.

Crown Princess Liu Yunyan said in a smiling voice: "Queen Mother, it's late now, don't use tea anymore." This is a glass of milk, drink it before bed to help you sleep. ”

Looking at the white hand stretched over and the white jade porcelain cup in her hand, the queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "You don't need to remind the palace to know." Who knows how long it will take, even if you don't drink this milk now. ”

"The queen mother forgives her sins," Liu Yunyan listened to the queen's words, but did not flinch, but put the white jade porcelain cup in her hand in front of the queen and said, "But if the queen mother is thirsty, let's drink the milk." ”

Seeing that she was not afraid, and still insisted on her opinion, the queen hummed softly, her voice softened a lot, and said, "Why do you insist on letting the palace drink milk?" ”

"Queen Mother," Liu Yunyan smiled lightly and said, "Daughter-in-law is speculating, you just want to drink something casually." And now it's the middle of the night, and I'm afraid that it will not be easy to fall asleep after drinking tea. And cow's milk, anyway, the queen mother wants to drink before falling asleep, and now drink it, and it will be just right to fall asleep after a while. ”

"Hmm," the queen gave her a deep look, her gaze swept towards the white jade porcelain cup.

Liu Yunyan hurriedly picked it up again and handed it over.

The queen didn't pick it up, and Mama Li, who was waiting next to her, hurriedly walked over and said, "I'm afraid this milk is a little cold, so the slave maid will warm it up and bring it over." After speaking, he took the white jade porcelain cup, and then went out with it.

Seeing this, although Liu Yunyan did not speak, she secretly frowned. This cup of milk was served to her just now, and the temperature should be just right. The queen doesn't drink it, is she disgusted with herself?

After a while, Mama Li came back, although it was still the same white jade porcelain cup in her hand, Liu Yunyan felt that it was not the cup she had served before.

Seeing that her gaze darkened, but she still looked at herself with a smile on her face, the queen nodded secretly. After Mama Li's hand drank the milk that had been brought over again, and when Mama removed the porcelain cup, the queen wiped her mouth with a brocade handkerchief and said to Liu Yunyan: "You have to remember that this palace is invincible, and even the things brought by your own people may not guarantee that they are fine." ”

As soon as she heard this, Liu Yunyan's eyes rolled, and she immediately understood that there must be a reason in the queen's words. But seeing that the queen was not saying anything, she saw that Xuanyuan Hao was making eyes at her, so she didn't ask again.

At this time, an elderly old eunuch at the door hurriedly walked in and said, "Queen, crown prince, crown princess, there is a letter over there." ”

"Say," the queen's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but glance at Liu Yunyan at the corner of her mouth. This princess is a bit blessed. She said that she let herself drink the milk before going to bed, which can be regarded as right.

"Yes," the old eunuch nodded and said, "Gonggong Liu over there said that the emperor blamed the five princes and should not have made the choice opportunity given to him a condition for only taking care of marriage." Listening to the emperor's words, it seemed that he had the intention of pushing the five princes to the throne, but the five princes categorically refused, saying that they had no intention of taking the throne. ”

"Okay, got it," the queen waved her hand to let the old eunuch retreat, then turned to Xuanyuan Hao and said, "What do you think about this matter?" "I know that the emperor still has that little slut in his heart, so he still has pity for the little bastard of the fifth child. It's good that the emperor still wants to pass the throne to the fifth child, but fortunately, the fifth child has no intention of taking the throne.

Congratulations!

"Queen Mother, my son has already said that we are too careful," the prince heard the answer in his mind, only felt a relief on his body, and said with a smile on his face: "Not to mention that the fifth child has been out of the palace since he was a child, and he has not learned the way to govern the world, that is, he only has one foreign family in the Lu family, can he still make waves?" ”

With his words, the queen's face slowly sank. After Xuanyuan Hao finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "You only said the surface, but you didn't think of a problem. ”

"Queen Mother," Xuanyuan Hao listened, the smile on his face retracted, looked at the queen and asked, "I didn't think of anything?" ”

Sighing lightly, the queen said: "The key to who to put on the throne, or who you want to cultivate, is the emperor." ”

Speaking of this, her voice suddenly rose and said, "It's your father." Don't think that if you are the crown prince now, you will be firmly on the throne in the future. ”

"But," Xuanyuan Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Xuanyuan Che has said that he has no intention. ”

Liu Yunyan next to him was a little speechless when she heard what he said, and she couldn't help but speak: "However, don't forget that there is also a fourth prince prince." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help but look at the queen. Seeing that the queen didn't mean to be angry, but nodded as if encouraging, Liu Yunyan continued: "If it was before, it would just be a game between our side and the four princes. But now, if the officials of the court know that the emperor is biased towards the five princes, and the five princes are within the array of the four princes,"

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

That's right, the power of the fourth child is getting bigger and bigger. If you think about it carefully, it seems that the momentum has been so rapid since the fifth child returned from Changzhou Mansion three years ago, right?

Thinking about it, the prince gritted his teeth and said, "Either I want to find someone to be the fifth," as he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and made a chopping motion.

"Shut up," the queen was disappointed in her heart for this son. He said angrily, "Why isn't your head clear to Yunyan? The fifth child is in the way, you want to kill him now. But do you know that if the emperor knows about this, your crown prince will come to an end. ”
