The emperor looked at Jiang Zuiyao again, this time more carefully than at first glance, looked from head to toe, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Zuiyao's face.

For a long time, the emperor didn't speak, just looked at it carefully.

For a long time, the emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised a smile, and suddenly said with great satisfaction: "Prince Gong has a heart." ”

The Queen Mother also noticed the special features of Jiang Zuiyao, but she seemed a little unhappy and withdrew her gaze in disgust.

But the emperor was completely different from the queen mother, he even got up and walked down the steps, walked to Jiang Zuiyao's side, walked around Jiang Zuiyao who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Although it is not very similar to Mu'er, but after careful inspection, it is somewhat similar." ”

It seems that this is also the reason why Prince Gong brought Jiang Zuiyao into the palace to meet Emperor Qingguo.

This is also what Prince Gong found out when he carefully observed Jiang Zuiyao when he was in the tower, so that he didn't care about it from the beginning, but suddenly became inattentive when he was in the tower.

The emperor nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Very good, the woman brought by my brother, I am very satisfied." ”

In this way, Prince Gong felt a lot more at ease, after all, this was a crucial step in the plan, if the emperor didn't take a fancy to Jiang Zuiyao, the later plan would not be implemented.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting in the palace, deliberately picked up the topic and asked: "You said that you found the national seal, what about the national seal?" ”

Prince Gong said unhurriedly: "The national seal is precious, and the ministers dare not take it with them." ”

In this way, the queen mother immediately changed color, so that the white jade beads on the earrings shook slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "You didn't bring the most important thing, and you dare to enter the palace?" ”

Prince Gong said without panic: "The minister knows that the queen mother is anxious, but after all, the national seal is a national treasure, for fear of causing trouble." ”

The emperor's eyes at this moment fell completely on Jiang Zuiyao's body, and he had long forgotten about the national seal, he looked at Jiang Zuiyao's gaze with relish, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

The Queen Mother was full of thoughts about the national seal, and asked majestically: "Then when are you going to return the national seal?" ”

Prince Gong replied: "On the emperor's birthday festival, the ministers will bring the national seal into the palace. ”

"No!" , The Queen Mother roared solemnly: "The matter of the loss and theft of the national seal has been hidden from everyone, how can you take it out on a high-profile day like Wanshou Day?" ”

Prince Gong replied calmly: "Does the Queen Mother think that you have hidden it very well when you lost the national seal?" But in fact, people in the world have long known about it, but others don't dare to say it in their hearts. ”

"Presumptuous!" , The Queen Mother roared angrily: "Prince Gong, Your Majesty was able to spare your life at the beginning, because you were worried about your flesh and blood, don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”

In this case, it really makes people evil.

Obviously, the emperor and the queen mother teamed up to defeat Prince Gong, who was once the crown prince, and took away the position of emperor that originally belonged to him, and then sent him to a desolate place and lived a rough life.

Prince Gong was slightly angry in his heart, but he endured it, and said without a little displeasure on his face: "The minister risked his life to recapture the national seal, and he can't return it to you for no reason, right?" ”

The Queen Mother's face turned cold, and she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, and asked angrily, "Then what do you want?" ”

"It's okay for the minister to return the national seal, but the minister doesn't want to stay in the desolate place anymore." , Prince Gong's words made the Queen Mother raise her eyebrows slightly.

She knew better than anyone what a humble life Prince Gong was living now, and this reason was reasonable, but she still looked at Prince Gong with doubts.

Thinking about it, Prince Gong is now gone, the emperor has been sitting firmly in the country for several years, he is indeed powerless to compete with the emperor, not to mention that the national seal is in the hands of Prince Gong, the queen mother only pretended to reply: "Okay, as long as you hand over the national seal, the mourning family will promise you to keep you away from the desolate place, not only that, but the mourning family will also reward you, after all, it is you who recaptured the national seal, which is a great achievement." ”

In this way, he couldn't deceive Prince Gong, but he still replied to the Queen Mother's words: "Since the Queen Mother said it herself, the minister should believe it, and on the day of the Longevity Festival, the minister will return the national seal to the court." ”

"No! The mourning family wants you to hand over the national seal within three days! Otherwise, you will be punished for treason. ”

"Rebellion? It is clear that the minister will take back the national seal, is the Queen Mother planning to reverse right and wrong? ”

"Presumptuous! Are you worthy to reproach the mourners? ”

"Since the Queen Mother is so mean, the minister can be desperate, and would rather have his head fall to the ground, and you don't want to see the national seal again."

"You! It's really against you! In the face of Prince Gong's rebellious words, the Queen Mother was furious.

Prince Gong said at this time: "The national seal has been lost for several months, the queen mother and His Majesty are anxious, but they have not been able to find the whereabouts of the national seal, it is the minister who recaptured the national seal from the hands of thieves. ”

In the face of the theft of national treasures, Prince Gong's requirements are not high, but they are reasonable, after all, Prince Gong does not have any chips in his hands, this is his only chance.

At this time, the emperor looked at Prince Gong who was kneeling on the ground and said: "I have been busy with government affairs all these years, and I have indeed neglected you. ”

"Emperor!" , The Queen Mother exclaimed, as if she hated to agree with the emperor's words.

The emperor said to the Queen Mother lightly: "Queen Mother, my brother is already very pitiful, why should we be aggressive?" ”

This is a nice thing to say, but the emperor's face is indifferent, and half disdainful, as if he has already taken Prince Gong in the palm of his hand.

Prince Gong didn't care when he saw it, and said: "That being the case, I hope the emperor won't break his word." ”

The speed of the emperor's reply was called a fast: "Brother, don't worry, I am true to my word, after all, you are now my only brother, and I can't see you suffering, hurry up." ”

The emperor said hypocritical words and helped Prince Gong up, and Prince Gong glanced at him, and really wanted to kill him with a knife at this moment.

Under the breath and breath, it was filled with too much resentment from Prince Gong, and he swallowed it raw.

Then, the emperor said: "My brother will live in the palace for the time being, and after the Wanshou Festival, I will definitely arrange a good place for you to live, so that you can spend the rest of your life carefree." ”

Such words will only make Prince Gong feel extremely disgusting, and Xie En, who was acting on the spot, said: "Thank you for your compassion." ”

The emperor walked up to Jiang Zuiyao, gently held Jiang Zuiyao's hand and said, "You can get up too." ”

When Jiang Zuiyao got up, he looked into the emperor's eyes, and he was reluctant in his heart, but he could only let him hold his hand.

"Someone! Hurry up and prepare lunch, and set Prince Gong and this woman in place. The eunuch on the side responded, and the one who led the way in front led Prince Gong and Jiang Zuiyao out of the main hall.
