Mu Changhan saw that his father and queen mother were already angry to the extreme, so he reached out and pulled the emperor's sleeve and said, "Father, let it go!" ”

The emperor turned a deaf ear and stared at the queen motionlessly.

The queen said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Zhaohua is crazy, she deserves it, how can the prince be blamed for this?" Even if there is no such case in a small local county court, two people have a conflict and quarrel, and one of them is angry, so the wrong things he has done can be written off? Hahaha...... Your Majesty, you are so confused! She is crazy, she deserves it, and the punishment that the official family should give is still to be given. The concubine arranged it like this, why was the prince not punished, isn't it ironic enough to marry a crazy woman as a concubine, and isn't it enough to disgrace him? ”

Empress Luan's voice became louder and louder, and the emperor only felt that the blood was rushing upward, so he pushed Queen Luan away, pointed at her, and said, "You are a madman!" I will not decree marriage! ”

"It would be better if Your Majesty didn't give her a marriage, I don't want the prince to marry her!"

The emperor saw that she had no fear, and raised his hand to fight, the prince hurriedly just went to support his mother, and came to stop his father, knelt in front of him and hugged the emperor's leg tightly, pushing him back, the emperor was angry, raised his hand and slapped Mu Changhan several times, Mu Changhan didn't say a word, but he didn't let go, the emperor's own hands were trembling in pain, Mu Changhan's cheeks were red and swollen, and blood oozed from his lips, so he stopped.

Mu Changhan saw that the emperor was not beaten, so he said: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, the queen mother is the queen, I beg the father to give the queen mother a little dignity, and if you want to punish the son, it is all the fault of the son." Erchen has been willful and ridiculous since he was a child, this time, it's just that the child likes Zhaohua too much, seeing that she was carried away by the atmosphere without Erchen in her heart, Erchen really didn't expect things to turn out like this! Father, the child really knows that he is wrong, the child is willing to accept all punishments, is willing to do everything to make up for his mistakes, and begs his father not to do this to the queen mother! ”

The emperor pushed him away, pointed at him and scolded: "Make it up, how can you make it up?" ”

Mu Changhan said: "Father, even Confucius said, 'Who can be without fault, and can change it, and be good', my father can't keep scolding his son because this matter doesn't end well, and his son promises that he will do his best to redeem it, and after Zhaohua is well, his son will never be entangled in her again!" ”

The emperor said, "Okay, it's good for you to say something like that." Send your mother back to the palace, she has a headache again today, let her have a good rest. Queen, let him solve the prince's affairs by himself, although you are the queen, but after all, you are a dependent, just take care of your harem, the prince's affairs, you have to say more. The queen is very out of shape today, so go back to her palace and think about it behind closed doors. ”

This is the order to ground the queen, Queen Luan is already disheartened, Mu Ran heard the end, suddenly sneered, straightened his body, gave a big salute to the emperor, got up and brushed his sleeves away.

When Gu Wangye went, it was the morning of the next day, and Prime Minister Luan finally showed up and came to the court. When a group of officials were at the gate of the palace, Prime Minister Luan Cheng came up and asked Gu Wangye: "I heard that the lord of Zhaohua County is sick, have you asked a doctor to see it?" ”

Gu Wangye's face turned pale, and he said, "Please ask the doctor to see it." ”

Prime Minister Luan then asked, "What is the reason for the diagnosis?" ”

Gu Wang Ye said: "The imperial doctor said that he was in a hurry. ”

Prime Minister Luan then asked, "I heard that the county lord is not in good spirits. ”

Gu Wang Ye said: "Don't worry about the prime minister. ”

Prime Minister Luan Cheng smiled: "It's not that I'm nosy, this matter also involves the queen's mother, and I am worried about it, so I want to help the prince reconcile with the queen and the prince." Even if the prince went to the palace to complain about this matter, it would only be such a result. There is a wizard from Beiyi in my family, who has been very effective in smelting my son's illness, and my son is now able to get out of bed and walk, and this wizard is the best at treating incurable diseases. ”

Prince Gu stared at him and said word by word: "I said, don't worry about the prime minister!" ”

The prime minister smiled and continued: "The prince is still angry, but the matter of the county lord of Zhaohua is still for the prince to consider carefully. ”

Seeing that he was endless, Gu Wangye said helplessly: "Prime Minister, if you have heard the rumors, you should know that Zhaohua does not leave the sword in his hand now, and when anyone approaches, he will wield his sword desperately, and Yiguo is already eyeing our Mu country, if the wizard dies in the hands of Zhaohua, I can't afford this crime." I don't think the prime minister or the wizard have the courage to die! ”

This sentence choked Prime Minister Luan back, and he was finally speechless.

Prince Gu glanced at him and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry about these things, today I will tell Your Majesty about the situation, and I will no longer pursue His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, Zhaohua is also at fault, both parents and their children are restrained, and the two of them have no contact!" Zhaohua's illness, I will look for famous doctors for her, whether it is good or not, it is this child's own creation, and it is her life. ”

Prime Minister Luan's eyes rolled for a long time, but he really couldn't think of anything. had to awkwardly retreat to his position and wait for the court.

After a while, the hour came, the palace door opened, and the civil and military officials entered the main hall, and the first thing the emperor said was the conflict between the prince and Zhaohua. In order to set an example for the hundred officials, the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and ordered the guards to take off the crown of the prince on the spot, dragged him to the outside of the palace and beat him with sixty rods, which was drenched in blood, and was carried back to the palace by the guards.

After retiring from the dynasty, Prime Minister Luan asked His Majesty to go and see Queen Luan, the emperor was also white, the father and daughter were about to start finding fault when they met, but he didn't stop it, at this time he just wanted these foxes to show their tails quickly, so he said to him: "The queen's mood is not very stable, the prime minister went to persuade the queen well, let her cultivate and adjust well, she must take medicine now, she probably doesn't want to see me now, the prime minister will persuade the queen on my behalf, and by the way, tell the queen the results of today's court discussion, Tell her to be relieved. ”

Prime Minister Luan was ashamed at the moment, and he didn't dare to be domineering in front of the emperor as usual, and he only agreed to it.

The eunuch led Prime Minister Luan to the queen's palace, and as soon as the queen saw the prime minister coming, she immediately took away the palace maid eunuch beside her, and asked Prime Minister Luan what happened to the prince, and Prime Minister Luan told the truth, and Queen Luan was finally relieved to learn that the matter had calmed down and could not threaten the status of the prince.

Prime Minister Luan comforted her and sat down, and asked: "Niangniang, the minister still thinks this matter is too strange, the prince has always been steady, why is it so ridiculous this time, it seems to have changed as if he has changed a person!" Before he left that day, did Niangniang explain clearly? ”

The queen rubbed her temples, closed her eyes and sighed, "I've explained it to him clearly!" This unsuccessful thing, I didn't expect him to be hooked by that little vixen, and he was so obsessed! It's not good to blame me, that little vixen always ran to the palace either to see me or to see the prince, I annoyed her so much, seeing that the prince wanted to relax government affairs for her, I was angry for a while, so I said to Changhan, how could that little vixen suddenly like you, don't be stupid, she deliberately lied to you! I didn't expect him to listen to it, in fact, he was originally a little suspicious in his heart, and as soon as I said it, he became even more suspicious. He was not angry in his heart, and he held it back for too long, so on Zhaohua's birthday, something like that happened. ”

Prime Minister Luan nodded and said, "It doesn't sound unreasonable, but I still feel wrong!" ”

Queen Luan said: "Hey, this is just what the prince thinks, the old puppet ghost of Gu Wangye is ruthless, maybe he taught her daughter a trick and deliberately pushed things to such a situation, the purpose is to make us completely dispel the idea of marrying Zhaohua." The prince didn't see it, and he didn't know. ”

Prime Minister Luan nodded and said, "It's really easy for him to arouse his suspicion by going back and forth like this. This old puppet is not easy to deal with, I can't guess what he will do next, I can only take one step at a time. He probably has already guessed my strategy, then it depends on what he does next, I will take the opportunity to see Zhaohua to force him to hurry up and take the next step, don't think that you can get away with pretending to be crazy and stupid, whether Gu Zhiyun is really crazy or not is not necessarily! ”

Queen Luan hurriedly said: "Father, be careful, that girl is really ruthless, I have seen her hurt people with a sword!" ”

Prime Minister Luan smiled contemptuously: "The wounded person died? ”

“…… Not really. ”

"Maybe it's the old man who is acting for us. If she pretends to be crazy, it is useless for the gods to come, but we can test it. Isn't she crazy, I want to see if an outsider approaches, does she really dare to kill, if she doesn't dare, she will inevitably show her feet, and then she won't be able to hide anything, even the emperor can't protect him. I'm going to see what he does. ”

"Father has an idea again?" Empress Luan asked.

Prime Minister Luan Cheng held the teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "The queen still has to take care of her body, you have done enough things on the side of Prince Gu, you can relax these days, don't care about anything, and leave the outside to me." It is not easy for the position of queen and the crown prince to come, so don't repeat the mistakes of Queen Mei and Mu Suihan. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, you must correct them in time, so that you will not fall into the mouth of the harem, but can stand on it.

Although the things outside are important at the moment, you also have to pave the way for yourself. Don't blindly exclude people, otherwise once you are in trouble, there will be a lot of people to step on you, or you have to envelop more people, you are the queen, you have to be graceful and powerful to serve the public, only when everyone obeys you, you can be regarded as the real master of this harem. Otherwise, why is it that everyone knows that Daddy often trespasses, but is still willing to follow? It was my design to make the emperor haunted by public opinion, so that my father seemed more sober than him. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Only by plotting against a faint king can you win the support of everyone."

After hearing this, the queen's heart suddenly brightened, and she smiled and said: "The father teaches, and the daughter is white."
