When the queen heard this, she just laughed and looked crazy.

But there were tears in his eyes that slowly overflowed.

The prince is her hope, and the prince is now dead! What does it mean for her, the queen, to do it?

When she can't survive, does she care about that?

"Queen, calm down." The emperor also saw her hidden fragility and despair under her madness, thinking of the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, his expression softened, sighed, and said, "Hand over the child, as long as you do it, I can ignore what you do today." ”

"Impossible!" The queen directly refused: "I'd rather strangle her than give the child to the crown princess!" No way! ”

Her attitude was even more resolute than Su Muwan's.

Two mothers and one child have become the two ends of the scale, and the emperor can't help but be in a dilemma.

In the end, he couldn't give the child back to Su Muwan.

However, when the emperor returned to the imperial study, he heard the palace people say that Su Muwan had fainted and had been carried back, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not always a way to do this, if the child doesn't go back, the crown princess will come tomorrow, I have to think of a trick and get the child out quietly......" The emperor frowned tightly and thought, and finally suddenly glanced at Gonggong Gao.

Gao Gonggong was taken aback when he heard this: "Your Majesty! Wouldn't you be...... Do you want the old slave to sneak into Kunning Palace and snatch the child back from the queen's mother? ”

"It's a good idea." Unexpectedly, when the emperor heard this, he nodded solemnly and said approvingly: "You also saw it, the queen refused to let go, but the crown princess is the mother of the child, so she can't help but give the child to her!" Now that the crown prince is dead, she has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it be criticized by the court? ”

"But...... Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of something happening to the queen's mother? Gao Gonggong shrunk his neck and asked cautiously.

"Empress......" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

With his understanding of the queen, everything is under control, but the queen will not care about anything, such a person is more likely to go to a dead end. If something stimulates her, she will quickly come out of her madness and despair, become sober and calm, and work towards her goal.

That's what he intended.

The emperor thought about it and said, "Don't worry, only in this way can the queen quickly come to her senses."

Gao Gonggong seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and took the order.

That night, while the queen was sleeping, he secretly stole the child and handed it over to the crown princess Su Muwan.

When Su Muwan finally received her daughter, she immediately cried with joy, and that night she ordered the palace people to close the East Palace and never allow anyone to enter or leave again.

is to prevent the queen from bringing people to snatch the child.

When the queen woke up the next morning, there was no granddaughter by her side.

Not hearing the usual cry of the child, the queen suddenly turned over and sat up, and shouted loudly outside: "Someone! Come! What about the county lord? Bring the county lord over to Hongu! ”

"Back to my mother's words, Your Majesty sent Gonggong Gao over last night and took the county lord away."

The entire palace people of Kunning Palace all knelt down in front of the queen's bed.

The queen looked at the palace people in a daze, and was stunned for a quarter of an hour before she reacted, and then became furious.

"Are you dead, then? Won't it be blocked? Won't you wake up Hongu? “

"Back to my mother, that's the person sent by His Majesty! How dare the slaves and maids stop it...... Besides, you can't wake up, Niangniang......" replied weakly by a palace maid.

When the queen heard this, she almost didn't come up in a breath.

She really didn't expect that the dignified emperor would make such a move to secretly send palace people over to steal the child! Otherwise, he would have confessed to death a long time ago, how could he give Gao Gonggong a chance to take the child away? This time, it was her negligence!

"Come on, change clothes and wash the palace, the palace is going to the East Palace! Personally bring the county lord back! The queen suppressed her anger and said.

"Niangniang, the crown princess ordered someone to close the entire East Palace last night, and no one was allowed to enter."

When the queen heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth angrily.

"This battle is lost by Hongu!"

She did not go to the East Palace, but ordered the palace people to dress and change her clothes, and then calculated the time, and the moment the emperor returned to the imperial study, she came to the door to ask to see her.

The emperor was worried all day today, and he didn't know how the queen would react when she found out about this.

Will you rush to find yourself desperately? Just as I was thinking, the queen arrived.

The emperor took a sip of tea to his lips and squirted out.

Father-in-law Gao's face was worried: "Your Majesty, do you want to see me?" ”

"See, why not." The emperor waved his hand and said angrily: "The crown princess can do something to kneel outside the imperial study for a day, but the queen can't do it?" Go and call her in! Anyway, you can see it early and late! ”

"Wow." Gao Gonggong answered, turned around and retreated.

After a while, the queen wearing a red embroidered peony placket and a phoenix crown walked in from outside, her expression was not like yesterday's madness, but calm as a lake, and she bowed to the emperor in a dignified manner: "Concubine to Your Majesty." ”

Gao Gonggong was almost shocked on the side.

It's really just like the emperor said! As soon as she took the child away, the queen was immediately normal!

At this moment, his admiration for the emperor was like a surging river, endless.

The emperor also seemed very happy, sat down on the chair casually, and asked with a smile at the queen: "The queen came over today, is there something wrong?" ”

As he spoke, he lazily picked up his teacup.

"That's right." The queen also smiled slightly, and then said unhurriedly: "Before the prince's death, the concubine decided for him the family affair of the eldest lady of the Qi State Palace, and it was originally planned to let Qi Siyu marry into the East Palace as the crown princess, but now His Royal Highness the prince is gone......

Speaking of this, she swallowed, and her eyes turned red.

The grandmother on the side hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.

The queen wiped the corners of her eyes with it, and then continued: "But after all, the marriage has been decided, and it must not be annulled, so the concubine came today to ask His Majesty to choose a good day and an auspicious day to marry Qi Siyu." ”

"You...... Say what? ”

The Emperor looked at the Empress with a very strange gaze.

"Didn't Your Majesty understand?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and then said indifferently: "What the concubine means is that the marriage between the prince and Qi Siyu was decided by him before his death, and now although the prince is gone, this marriage contract still has to be fulfilled, and the concubine came to ask Your Majesty today, that is, please make a will as soon as possible, so that Miss Qi can marry into the East Palace." “

"Are you crazy?"

The emperor said unceremoniously: "The crown prince is dead!" Who did you ask Qi Siyu to visit with? Let her be a widow as soon as she enters the door? Can the Duke of Qi agree? Even if he agreed, I would never have been able to do such a conscientious thing! ”

"The Qi family doesn't agree, it's their business, and the concubines will naturally communicate with them." The queen was not discouraged when she heard this, raised her chin slightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to do anything, you just need to agree......"

"I'm crazy to promise you!"

The emperor looked at her with the expression of a madman, looking up and down, his eyes full of suspicion: "I suspect you now, I am not sober at all!" The death of the crown prince has made you crazy! You can do this kind of thing by letting other daughters marry and keep widows! I won't agree! You should dismiss this idea as soon as possible! ”

"Okay." The queen changed her words, looked at him and said lightly: "Then please Your Majesty return Nan'er to the concubine." “

When the emperor heard this, he immediately got stuck.

The child has already been carried by him to the crown princess of the East Palace, and it is absolutely impossible to return it.

The queen originally had this idea! first made a frantic request, but he did not agree, so she took advantage of the situation to ask for her granddaughter back.

Whenever the emperor is impatient, he will directly send someone to bring the child back from Su Muwan and return it to the queen.

This abacus is really good enough.

It's just that these two women are embarrassed by him, the emperor!

He has so many things to deal with in a day, where can he take care of them!

The Emperor almost roared.

But looking at the queen's calm face, he miraculously suppressed his anger, then took a deep breath, looked at the queen, and said, "Queen, I can't promise you the two things you said, can you change the conditions?" ”

"Nope."

The queen refused: "The concubine will either take back her granddaughter, or set up a new crown princess for my son, and Your Majesty must agree to one of them." ”

The crown prince is dead, whose daughter is willing to marry him?

The Emperor almost didn't grab the piece on the table and smash it in her face.

"The queen will go back first, I will think about it carefully." In desperation, the emperor chose a policy of delay.

"Okay, the concubine will give you three days to think." The queen didn't insist and agreed.

Then he saluted the emperor and turned to retreat.

She was gone, and the emperor was still standing motionless, his brows furrowed as he froze.

On the side, Gonggong Gao looked at his sad appearance and didn't dare to speak.

This queen mother is really difficult! It is 10,000 times more difficult than when the prince was alive!

The emperor didn't eat his lunch.

In the suburbs of Beijing.

Shen Nianzhen accompanied Rong Chen for lunch, and then withdrew and asked Doctor Ge to change the medicine for Rong Chen.

Standing on the long corridor, the evening breeze blowing on his cheeks, Shen Nianzhen closed his eyes slightly, enjoying this rare time alone.

The days of living in the Beijing suburb courtyard can be said to be calm and tormenting.

Calmly, no one from the outside world disturbed, the emperor seemed to have given an order, not allowing those people in the court to come and disturb them to recuperate, and the torment was that Rong Chen's injuries had been treated for more than half a month, and there was still no improvement.

The wound on his back had scabbed, but the hideous and terrible external injuries on his knees and thighs, as well as the internal wounds, had not healed for a long time, and Ge Shen had used the best medicinal herbs, but the flesh at the wound had gradually begun to rot and stink.

Even with the windows open every day, the smell in the room was a little unpleasant.

Rong Chen would smile every time he saw her, but Shen Nianzhen knew that his injuries were actually very serious, and those were all illusions to reassure her.

Every time he thought of this, Shen Nianzhen was moved and sad.

There is also a lot of helplessness.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Ruhua walked in from outside to report: "Princess, Concubine Qi Niangniang sent palace people to visit Her Royal Highness." “

Shen Nianzhen immediately put away the sorrow on his face, tidied up his clothes, and walked over with his feet raised: "Let them come in." ”

During this time, Rong Chen was seriously injured, and Concubine Qi was not allowed to come out in the deep palace, so she had to send palace people to visit her every day, and every time she came to receive her, it was naturally Shen Nianzhen.

Her heart was on Rong Chen, but she still had to work hard to meet Concubine Qi's people decently, which was a lot of pressure on Shen Nianzhen.

But there was no way, she had to see.

For Rong Chen, but also for herself.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Concubine Qi's side Mama Zhang and Mama Lin, and several palace maids walked in from outside, each carrying a big food box in their hands, as well as a large number of cherished antiques, as well as jewels and jade, all of which Concubine Qi sent someone to collect and give to Doctor Ge.

Concubine Qi knew that now whether Rong Chen's life and legs could be saved or not depended on Doctor Ge, so it was unusual, every time she came, she had to send something to Doctor Ge, and she would never see her previous dislike.

However, for Shen Nianzhen, the princess, the attitude of those grandmothers is not so good.

"The slave maid has seen the second princess, and the princess is auspicious." Mama Zhang's eyes were about to turn to the sky.

Mama Lin's expression was not much better.

Shen Nianzhen greeted them as if he hadn't seen them, and greeted them with a smile, leading the way while smiling: "It's really embarrassing that Niangniang sent you here every day, Your Highness's injuries are much better today, Doctor Ge is now changing his medicine inside, so please go to the side hall to rest for a while." ”

"Okay, okay, since Doctor Ge is changing the dressing, let's wait."

The two grandmothers nodded again and again, and then went to the side hall according to Shen Nianzhen's meaning, but before leaving, she specially explained to the palace maids who were holding things, and said meaningfully: "You go and send the things to Doctor Ge's room and put them away, but don't take them from those people with bad intentions!" ”

"Yes, Mama." The palace maids agreed, but their eyes picked in the direction of Shen Nianzhen lightly.

Standing beside Shen Nianzhen, she was almost angry when she saw this scene, and wanted to rush over to reason with them on the spot, but Shen Nianzhen firmly grabbed her arm, and Shen Nianzhen motioned her to keep quiet.

It's strange that she wasn't angry at all, but she endured it herself.

The princess of his own family was born in the Shen family, and she was very favored by the prince, and there was nothing good in the house! Do you need to covet the three walnuts and two dates rewarded by Concubine Qi? It's really a dog's eye and people are low!

Shen Nianzhen didn't pay attention to it at all, since she already knew that Concubine Qi deliberately made it to disgust her, if she was really angry, wouldn't it be as she wanted?

She wasn't angry.

She sat with Mama Qin and the others for about half an hour, refilled the tea several times, and then passed the word over there, saying that Doctor Ge had changed the medicine, and the prince was also awake, so she asked the people in the palace to come over to meet.

"Oops! Thankfully, the prince is finally awake today! The two grandmothers were full of emotion, as if they hadn't seen Rong Chen for a long time.

Shen Nianzhen was very puzzled when he saw it, didn't they just see him yesterday?

Mama Qin and the others couldn't wait to follow behind the next person and went to Rong Chen's house, Shen Nianzhen didn't want to follow, but there was no way but to go.

She didn't want to give Concubine Qi a chance to seize her handle.

Ever since Rong Chen was seriously injured in the palace in order to save Doctor Ge, Concubine Qi has hated her.

Thinking about the Fa's humiliation of her.

Shen Nianzhen knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't want to make Rong Chen angry, and hoped that he would concentrate on recuperating from his injuries, so he had endured it silently.

Anyway, Concubine Qi couldn't do anything too much, at most she would just let her suffer some hardships.

Today, however, the situation is somewhat different.

That Mama Qin didn't know that it was because Shen Nianzhen had lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes during this time, and she felt that she was amazing, so she didn't check it, and showed a look of disdain to Shen Nianzhen in front of Rong Chen.

In fact, she usually showed her when she was exposed, but Rong Chen's whole person was confused, and he couldn't find it at all.

However, today, as soon as she made this expression, she heard Rong Chen say coldly: "Drag these two disrespectful grandmothers out and kill them with a cane." ”

The voice is soft.

But there was a biting chill.

Soon, three or two guards strode in from outside, and they were about to drag the two grandmothers out, and they realized that Rong Chen was not a sick cat, he was a decisive prince on the sofa! When have you ever relented?

It's a nail in the coffin today!

"Lord Wang! Spare your life! Slaves don't dare! The grandmothers knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing in the direction of Shen Nianzhen and begging for mercy.

Pretty smart! Know who to kneel and who to beg at this time.

Shen Nianzhen looked at them and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

"Lord, forget it, after all, they are people sent by the concubine, and it is not good to be executed, just beat a few boards." After all, it is Concubine Qi's person, and whoever kills it doesn't look good on his face.

"Okay, then listen to the princess, and the rod will be punished for thirty." Rong Chen said slowly, and when the words fell, he coughed heavily.

"Lord Wang, slow down." Shen Nianzhen sat next to him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to gently pat him on the back.

"The king is tired, so let them all go down." Rong Chen said briefly and slowly closed his eyes.

Soon, the guards dragged the two grandmothers out, and the two kept screaming and begging for mercy, but they were soon gagged by the guards with handkerchiefs, and after that, there was no sound.

The two leading grandmothers were disposed of, and the remaining palace maids were all trembling with fright, kneeling there and almost fainting.

They didn't dare to look at Shen Nianzhen anymore.

The prince really loves the princess! It's just that when someone else looks at it, they're going to kill it, oh my God......

"Let's all go down." Shen Nianzhen said lightly.
