"Anyone involved, the palace slaves will be executed, and there will be a detention and punishment department with a palace rank and grade, and a ban on foot and punishment above the fourth grade will be punished."

Pu Yangxu let Chen Luo carry his foot to the stool, endured the pain of being cleaned by the imperial doctor, and after giving the order expressionlessly, he sneered again, "As for the Ye family, there are still twelve newcomers, open a cold palace, and lock them in first......"

"Wait." The queen's voice came from outside the wide open door, and I don't know if I happened to hear it when I first came, or if I stood for a while.

She took Mama Qi's hand and entered the door, only interrupted Pu Yangxu's words, and did not continue to say anything, but approached the imperial doctor, looking at Pu Yangxu's foot injury, her face was instantly unsightly, in her memory, Pu Yangxu was not only less sick, but also had such a serious injury.

"Queen Mother, why are you here......"

"Sit still."

As soon as Pu Yangxu sat up straight, he was glared at by the queen coldly, her strong aura, not to mention the prince, the people in the room did not dare to gasp anyway.

The imperial doctor's hands and feet were much faster, he reapplied the medicine, applied gauze, and dealt with it quickly, and followed Chen Luo's footsteps.

And Shutai's side is in a dilemma.

"You first—"

"Ye's you have to deal with it, but those newcomers ......" The queen interrupted Pu Yangxu's words again, she sat down opposite the desk, and Mama Qi took the tea served by the palace and glanced at it before handing it to the queen.

Pu Yangxu frowned, and asked undoubtedly: "The queen mother thinks that her sons should let them go?" ”

"The law does not hold the people accountable—"

"Today they can not be held accountable by the law, but tomorrow they can gather the crowd to rebel?" Pu Yangxu also interrupted in turn, and it was even difficult to hide his anger in his words, "Although these people are young and courageous, they dare to kill two lieutenants, they are lawless, and they dare to plot to assassinate Shen Jieyu.

He stopped suddenly, and didn't say the three words Shen Tingnian, but who the queen is, you can know what he thinks at a glance.

In the final analysis, the cause of this incident was that he fell out with Shen Tingnian, and locked people up in a fit of anger, which gave the Ye family a chance to take advantage of.

Even in order to make amends to Shen Tingnian, he has to deal with things beautifully, not to mention that this matter does violate his bottom line, and he will never be soft no matter how many people are involved.

"In short, none of these people can be spared."

After saying that, he gave Shu Tai a look and motioned for them all to stand down.

The queen didn't say anything more.

And as soon as they withdrew, Mama Qi also came out, unlike Shu Tai and others, she still needs to wait for the prince's eyes, but she and the queen don't need to communicate and know what to do.

"Commander Shu, it stands to reason that the queen has no right to interfere in the things that His Royal Highness has explained, but there is something that needs to be clarified," Mama Qi leaned over and whispered, "The little master of the Chunchi Pavilion, you can't move for the time being, because ......"

Shu Tai was taken aback, took a long breath, and finally had to nod in agreement.

"Your Highness doesn't know about this, if he is to blame in the future, he will have the queen mother to intercede for you......"

"In this way, thank you for the grace of the mother." Shu Tai would rather not know anything, sandwiched between the mother and son - he feels a pain in his brain when he thinks about it.

The two walked away while talking.

In the inner hall, Pu Yangxu picked up the tea and drank half a cup, in the past, he could taste from bitterness to sweetness, but this time he only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, which was somewhat due to different moods.

The queen quietly took two sips of tea.

"There are a lot of things in the previous dynasty these days, many difficult things, and you don't need to carry them alone, so many old ministers in the second government are here, and they can solve anything, and those are the auxiliary loyal ministers left by the emperor for you......"

"Erchen's provincial."

When it comes to the affairs of the court, Pu Yangxu will not say much most of the time, not for other reasons, but because the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and there are many people in the Qi family of the queen's mother family who are court officials, and there are military generals, even if he says something unintentionally, it will cause unexpected consequences when it reaches the ears of the courtiers.

The queen can secretly maintain her family relationship and interfere in his choice of concubines, but she will not really interfere in the implementation of court politics.

"Since you know, then don't take everything on yourself," the queen laid the groundwork for a long time, just to talk about the next matter, "Don't prepare for the Eastern Tour." ”

Pu Yangxu already knew that he was leaving the palace, and he would definitely not be able to hide it from the queen if he wanted to leave Beijing, so he didn't plan to make any excuses.

"There are reasons why the minister has to do this."

"Then what kind of reason do you want to put yourself at risk?" The queen didn't have a moment of peace of mind since she learned that Pu Yangxu planned to leave Beijing, she could probably guess some of the prince's thoughts, but she couldn't accept it.

Pu Yangxu didn't answer immediately, his eyes swept around, don't look at the silence of this place, no one knows if there are ears in the dark.

"I've got people to step down." The people brought by the queen did withdraw, and under the signal of Pu Yangxu's eyes, the secret guards who had been protecting him at all times also quietly retreated.

Pu Yangxu was resistant in his heart, he was not used to talking about his own arrangements with others, but the queen's cleverness was that she took retreat as advance, it turned out that she first talked about the matter of disposing of the newcomers in the East Palace for this moment.

He had to deal with them, and the queen backed down.

"I've made up my mind about the Eastern Tour." Pu Yangxu made a decision without a beak, and then explained a little, "One is that I want to go to Shudong to have a look, and second, I want to give them a chance." ”

"Them?" The queen frowned, and sure enough, "King An, they still don't give up?" If this is the case, let the emperor decree that they will be imprisoned in the Shuren Mansion one by one, and I don't think they can turn out of the sky. ”

"Queen Mother, you don't understand what your son is thinking at all." Pu Yangxu didn't know how to explain the words clearly for a while, he never liked to explain, "My father is like this, now let him make an order, what will the world think of me?" ”

A sick father who is sick in bed and will get sick at any time locks up his son? The world will not believe it, they will only speculate that the prince disregards human ethics and blackmails the king's orders for their own selfishness.

"It's their bad intentions, thief ambitions, why can't you tell the world?" It's not that the queen doesn't understand Pu Yangxu, but the two have completely different concepts and patterns about the world of the Great Zhou.

"I can't tell you about it." Pu Yangxu sighed helplessly, "Queen Mother, let me tell you one thing, the throne is supreme for everyone, but for me, it is a blade hanging around my neck, a burden on my shoulders, and the expectation of countless people at dawn......"

"The day my grandfather left, I felt the mountains weigh on my back...... Every day, every day, I want to go back to when he was there. ”

The empress was stunned for a while, "You-you don't want to be the emperor?" ”

Pu Yangxu shook his head, "When I was seven years old, my grandfather told me that no one in this world would not want to do so, but it was never us who chose the world, but the world who chose the master. ”

At this moment, the queen really felt that the person in front of her was a little strange, this strangeness came from her understanding of him that she had never had, since he had the world in mind, how could he not tolerate his father and brother?

He can even be at peace with King Cong...... He wouldn't do anything like killing his father and brother.

said that Pu Yangxu was merciful, and he didn't know how many people had lost their lives in the words just now, saying that he was ruthless, and he didn't take their lives after so many calculations by King An and others, and even Emperor Kang An, who has been getting more and more inches recently, how can he not tolerate and tolerate it.

The queen's silent eyes were surging with emotion, she was shocked that she didn't understand Pu Yangxu, and it was rare to have a trace of regret and shame.

She remembered what she had done in the harem for so many years, and she had never avoided Pu Yangxu's eyes, did she have a vicious appearance in his heart......

This realization made the queen's face look ugly, and she asked him softly, "Xu'er, are you-"

"Queen Mother, I don't blame you." Pu Yangxu looked at her with a serious expression and said comfortingly, "It's that the people under them didn't make it clear, I chatted with my father in the Nuan Pavilion that day, and he didn't go crazy to kill me, and my foot injury was when I stepped on the broken tea bowl when I was in a hurry." ”

After Emperor Kang An's back was injured, he was secretly poisoned, although there was no major problem after the poison was resolved, but he had a headache, and he would go crazy when the pain was severe, and he didn't know what he had done.

Pu Yangxu hadn't met him before, and he was taken aback that day, afraid that the crazy Kang An Emperor would hurt himself, so he pressed him in a hurry and injured himself.

When the palace maids and eunuchs heard the movement and came in, they saw Emperor Kang An frantically fighting with the prince...... When it reached the ears of the queen, she was added to the vinegar by someone with a heart, and became the emperor who went crazy to kill the prince.

"I've already let people deal with the yellow gate that passed the word, as for the palace maid in the warm pavilion." Pu Yangxu paused briefly, "I'll be released from the palace." ”

The queen's heart sank slightly, she remembered that the palace maid he said was called He Xi, a very joyful name—but it did not bring her good luck.

She vaguely guessed from Pu Yangxu's brief pause just now that he might know that the palace maid was disposed of by her after leaving the palace.

Before today, she had never deduced from the subtleties what he was really thinking.

"Xu'er, I'm a little tired." The queen raised her hand to support her head, calm and tired, "The matter of the Eastern Tour, let me think about it again." ”

###

Back at Kunning Palace, the queen sat quietly alone for a long time.

Mama Qi didn't worry about coming in to see it a few times, and when it was time to eat, she had to ask for instructions: "Niangniang, it's time to eat." ”

The queen turned and looked at her, the always strong person also had a moment of vulnerability, but it was only a short moment, she said: "You have found it too, Xu'er, he knows everything." ”

If it weren't for her connivance, how would Fu'an and the others dare to let the emperor recruit five people in one night, if she hadn't opened her eyes and closed her eyes, why would she let people poison them in the warm pavilion?

He knows everything—but no matter how good a mother is, no matter how bad a father is, he is also his father. How did he have a choice?

"Your Highness must also know that Niangniang is also here to protect him."

If it weren't for the emperor's Taihuan who jumped some time ago, he repeatedly embarrassed the prince and touched her temper...... The queen sighed: "But I can't protect his heart from being hurt...... Compared with King An's child, he lost in soft-heartedness after all. ”

Mama Qi lowered her head, her voice was soft, and she was still holding the queen's shoulder with one hand, "I look at the prince very well, if he loses in soft-heartedness, it is also excellent to win in pleasure." ”
