Seeing Emperor Wei's anger, Empress Yu was anxious, and a trace of panic appeared on her graceful and luxurious face. There is only one prince under her knees, and she must not let him have an accident, so she anxiously defended: "Your Majesty, the prince has a pure temperament, and today is just a temporary oversight, and there must be someone deliberately instigating this matter." ”

Song Jin also looked anxious, "Please also ask my father Emperor Mingjian, the imperial brother has always been benevolent, and he will never do such a thing, there must be another inside story, it must be this palace maid who planted the blame to the imperial brother." ”

Emperor Wei heard Song Jin's plea, one by one, and planted the blame, and he was even more annoyed, and lifted the inkstone at hand and smashed it straight towards the prince's front door, and the shot was fast and ruthless, but it was not accurate. only heard the sound of "bang", the inkstone smashed on the floor tiles, rolled a few circles, Shen Yanzhi secretly said that it was a pity, but it didn't hit.

Emperor Wei pointed at Song Yin angrily, "It is indeed another inside story, and it is indeed a false accusation." It's just my good son, framed for his own crown princess! also came to sing such a big drama in front of me, and you lost all the royal face. ”

Seeing that Emperor Wei was panting and sweating on his forehead, Father-in-law He, who was waiting closely, hurriedly handed over a cup of tea with a moderate temperature and said, "Your Majesty, you are in good breath." ”

Emperor Wei took the tea and gave his father-in-law a look, and he immediately understood. looked at the kneeling figure on the ground with contempt in his eyes, and shouted sharply: "Someone! Drag down this lowly maid who plotted to kill the emperor's heir, and she will be hanged and executed immediately. ”

Zirong learned that his death time had come, his pupils dilated instantly, and his body trembled. She watched the guards approach step by step, dragged herself out of the hall roughly, and screamed in a panic: "His Royal Highness the Prince, save me!" Mother, save me! I don't dare! I don't dare anymore! ”

At this time, Mu Guogong got up slowly, "Your Majesty, the old minister, please also ask the emperor to allow the old minister to resign." After speaking, he looked at his daughter, who had been sick for a long time, and his eyes were full of pity. He paused for a long moment before continuing: "There is only one daughter under the old minister's knees. The crown princess is not happy with the prince, it is the old minister who has no way to teach his daughter, and I hope that the emperor will allow the old minister to return to his hometown with the princess for the sake of the old minister's hard work over the years. ”

The crown princess looked at all this coldly, seeing that the prince did not miss the old feelings at all, and was bent on putting her to death, and the only hope left in her heart was also annihilated. She knelt down slowly and bowed to the emperor, "The concubine has been sick for a long time, and it is a big mistake not to open up the branches and leaves for the emperor." I invite myself to go down to the court today, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled. ”

The Mu family can be said to have worked hard for the court, this matter was originally made out of nothing by the crown prince Song Yin, if Mu Guogong was allowed to resign, not only would it cause criticism from everyone, but the court would also lose a pillar of talent. Thinking of this, he glared hatefully at Queen Yu, who pleaded for the crown prince, the culprit who caused the trouble is your good son, and there is more than enough success! If he is not punished today, how can he appease the Mu family.

"Someone! Take the prince down, think about it behind closed doors, and you can't leave Lingxiao Palace without my will. Emperor Wei commanded in a loud voice.

Song Yin was not convinced, but still wanted to argue, but saw that Queen Yu kept glancing at him beside him, so he shut up and followed the guards out of the imperial study. Before leaving, he glanced at Song Jin and Shen Yanzhi with gloomy eyes, and the two of them were in cahoots and teamed up to set up a trap for him to drill in. Today's hatred, he wrote it down!

After Song Yin was taken down, Emperor Wei only felt extremely tired and had a splitting headache. But it is still necessary to properly appease Mu Guogong and the crown princess, and said to Mu Guogong: "Mu Guogong is serious, and the prince has not handled this matter well." As for the resignation, it must not be mentioned again, the court still needs Mu Guogong. The matter of the crown princess, presumably the prince will understand after thinking about it behind closed doors for a while. ”

Mu Guogong originally just wanted to seek justice, but when he saw Emperor Wei say so, he had already imposed a small punishment on the prince, if he continued to make trouble, he would anger Emperor Wei and the gains outweighed the losses, so he had to give up.

After this incident, Emperor Wei felt that the crown prince was overwhelmed and became more and more disappointed in him.

This farce finally ended, and everyone retired in unison. At this time, it was close to dusk, and the lamp had not yet been held, and the hall was a little dim, and there was no sound at all. Wei Di closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and a pair of slender and slender hands pressed lightly on his temples.

"Aifei, you're here."

Emperor Wei opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Chen a little distracted. Concubine Chen was seventeen years old when she entered the palace, and now four years have passed, and she is still as charming as when she first entered the palace. On weekdays, Concubine Chen mostly likes colorful dresses, but today she wore a moon-white embroidered palace dress. "Your outfit today is not very different from the past, I have never seen you wear such an elegant palace dress, this hairpin..."

Concubine Chen's complexion was gorgeous, especially those eyes, when she laughed, she was as bright as a star, and her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Is the concubine so good-looking today?" A few days ago, I accidentally saw a hairpin, but it was a little old, but I liked it, so I asked them to make one. ”

Wei Di felt that he was getting old and began to reminisce about the past. He looked at Concubine Chen's outfit today, saw this familiar hairpin, and thought of a person, a person who had been dead for a long time - Concubine Rou, the biological mother of the Seventh Emperor Song Yong.

Concubine Chen smiled and said, "When I got up this morning, Joy had a little temper. The little face was puffed up, saying why his father didn't come to see her for so long, did he forget her. ”

Thinking of the joy of the princess who was like a jewel, ranked twelve, and now only three years old, she looks very cute. Wei Di's face couldn't help but have a look of love, "How is Joy lately?" ”

Concubine Chen's teeth opened lightly: "Why don't you go with the emperor and the concubines to have a look?" ”

Wei Di has indeed not seen the little princess for many days, and he misses it more and more. So he nodded, and the two of them headed towards Weiyang Palace together.

In Weiyang Palace, Princess Xile is reciting poems. "The wind and rain in the plain are fixed, and the geese are frequent at night. Deciduous trees, cold lights and lonely nights. The empty garden is white and dewy, and the lonely wall is a wild monk. Lying in the suburbs for a long time, what year to this body. ”

Concubine Chen looked at Xile shaking her head and reciting poems seriously, and pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Participate in the father, the emperor, and the mother." Joy saw Wei Di, with an innocent smile on his face, and greeted him with a milky voice.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I seem to have gained some weight." Wei Di's eyes were loving, and he caressed the forehead of the little princess.

It's night, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Wei Di stood in front of the window, looking at the courtyard deeply, "What a deciduous tree, a lonely night with cold lights." How long has the Seven Princes been in the mountain city? ”

He bowed his waist with his father-in-law and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's been four years." ”

"Isn't it time for him to come back?"

On the second day, a divine decree was sent to the mountain city in the northwest.
