The queen's opinion at this time is simply like raising Gu, if Bo Chengkan's assassination is successful, then she will deceive Bo Chengkan's trust by providing information at the beginning, so as to gain a firm foothold, and vice versa.

"The concubine understands."

"Hmm."

The queen responded a little rustily, and truthfully expounded her thoughts: "Your Majesty's time is short, even if the old stubborn ones in the previous dynasty are unwilling to admit it, but this palace is not a fool, and always has to find a way back for itself, who is the new emperor, this palace does not care, but the queen mother of a country must be this palace." ”

As she spoke, the queen glanced at the little eunuch in the corner, which was different from the eunuch Xiang Yeqi had seen, this eunuch was full of silver threads, a red mole between his eyebrows, and his lips were not rubbed red, but there was a touch of powder, which simply set off his bewitching appearance.

The queen did not take the initiative to introduce his identity, and Xiang Yeqi was also very interested in not asking questions.

"Xiang, you are a smart person, with the elm brain of the second prince, how can you gather so many troops to assassinate the fourth prince?"

Someone helped him.

"Ordinary people naturally can't know what happened last night, but the second prince took away so many troops, how can the people in the imperial city not know?" The queen laughed twice, "Why has Your Majesty been silent for a long time, he is afraid that he will have to deal with the second prince in front of everyone, and when the time comes, he will not be able to protect his beloved son." ”

What the queen said, Xiang Yeyan has not not considered it, the old emperor's preference for Bo Chengkan is simply clearly presented in front of everyone, if there is no strong and favorable evidence, it is difficult to punish Bo Chengkan.

Xiang Yeqi does not reject the queen's help that can be carried clearly, as long as the queen does not bite back, it is an excellent help, and it is extremely difficult for Bo Chengkan to turn over now.

The only thing that makes Xiang Yeqi feel uneasy is whether the queen will fall to Gu Yanchao's side, he is the old emperor's confidant, this person's origin is unknown, and some people even speculated that he is the illegitimate son of the old emperor, although this rumor is very ridiculous, but it is not impossible.

"Queen Mother, if the situation changes again, will your position change?" Xiang Yeqi cautiously tested the queen's temperament.

"This palace has decided which side to stand on, so it will not change its position easily."

The queen didn't hesitate even for a moment.

"Now, I'm going to ask you about this palace - if this palace wants to join forces with you to kill the king, Xiang Yeqi, do you have the guts?"

……

Xiang Yeqi almost thought he had misheard.

No wonder the queen forced herself to swear a poisonous oath from the beginning, and Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but sweat herself, and the queen jumped repeatedly on the border full of slashes with every word.

"Naturally, not now."

The queen fed Xiang Yeqi a reassuring pill, but there didn't seem to be much difference between this and it.

"Your Majesty has been biased to this point, whether it is for the sake of the four princes, or for the palace itself, the palace should think carefully about how to go in the future. The fourth princess may feel that the palace is too ruthless, but even if His Majesty still has a breath, he will definitely try to save the life of the second prince and pass on the throne to him. What is waiting for the four princesses at that time? ”

Endless hunting.

If Bo Chengkan ascends the throne, it will definitely be a nightmare for everyone in the capital, and the pursuit of Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi can only be regarded as an "insignificant" part.

"The concubine understands everything. Showing mercy at this time is undoubtedly a joke with your own life. ”

Xiang Yeqi still has to admit that the queen is giving her a lesson called "how to live".

"Yes." The queen acquiesced sadly, "In the end, killing the monarch is a big rebellion, if there is another choice, this palace also wants to choose another way." What Hongu really wants you to do are two other things. ”

"What?"

"Concubine Zhang, this palace has a blood feud with her, if this palace has any plans in the future, the four princesses need to help this palace."

This is not a difficult task, Xiang Yeqi thought about it for a while, and then responded: "Naturally." What is the next thing the queen said? ”

"Check that Gu Yanchao, Your Majesty can have today, his chaotic minister is really indispensable!"

The queen's expression was suddenly solemn, even Xiang Yeqi didn't expect that she would hear the name "Gu Yanchao" in the queen's mouth, and it was in a tone that she wanted people to die.

"You don't know how much this Gu Yanchao is valued by His Majesty, but the spies sent by this palace often report back to the palace, and His Majesty often summons him Gu Yanchao overnight to discuss state affairs, what can he talk about Gu Yanchao's grade? It's too suspicious! Have the four princesses heard rumors about his background? ”

It can be said that he wanted to come to something, and replied to Yeqi: "I have heard that since Lord Gu entered Beijing as an official, no one has ever seen Lord Gu's father, and when people asked, Lord Gu only said that it was not easy to publicize family affairs, so there were other rumors in Beijing, saying that the reason why His Majesty trusted Lord Gu so much was because of ...... Lord Gu is the illegitimate son of His Majesty, but most of this matter is groundless. ”

Few people really care about ordinary people's family affairs, but Gu Yanchao already has such rumors, and as soon as he answers "family affairs", some people want to wonder if it is some "family ugliness" that cannot be publicized.

"Not bad." The queen nodded in agreement, "Is there such a thing, this palace knows, if Your Majesty really has such an outstanding son, how can there be a second prince or something?" It has been a few days since the palace sent spies to inquire about his origins, but the result is ......"

She laughed twice, and it really made people wonder which one she was mocking with these words, whether it was Bo Chengkan or the old emperor who was quite self-righteous.

"It's not optimistic."

Xiang Yeqi replied first.

"That's right." The queen was embarrassed, "the more unknown the origin, it means that the origin of this person is not simple, although the palace did not find out the origin of this person, but found out that this person and the Hu people often have correspondence, but unfortunately this person is very cautious, the palace only knows about this, but has never succeeded in stopping it." ”

Xiang Yeqian understood the queen's intentions - she was also worried that Gu Yanchao would become a variable for Bo Zhaoxu to succeed to the throne, even if Bo Chengkan ascended the throne, the queen didn't care, but Gu Yanchao, an outsider with wolf ambitions, and even probably a person who was meticulous with Hu Ren, would never be.

……

After saying goodbye to the queen, Xiang Yeqi first went to the main hall to wait for Bo Zhaoxu, his temperament, Xiang Yeqi touched a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, if the matter of the main hall has been resolved, Bo Zhaoxu will definitely come to wait for him outside the queen's palace first.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Yeqi saw Bo Zhaoxu's back, he was smashed to the corner of his eyebrows by a jumping Dongzhu, although it was not painful, but thousands of Dongzhu rolled down and splashed on the ground together, and the scene was really shocking.

"Cheng Kan is a big man in my hand, why do you say that he will use so much force in order to harm you? How do you know that your second brother is not kind enough to take your attendants to pick you up and return to Beijing safely? ”

The old emperor's face turned red with shame, and the excuse he had woven for Bo Chengkan was even more ridiculous, which completely confirmed the queen's reminder to Xiang Yeqi.

Thinking about it bravely, what was Bo Zhaoxu, who had no waves on his face at this time, thinking? But will he be discouraged by his father's undisguised favoritism?

She let out a long sigh of relief.

"Because the retainers have evidence!"

Xiang Ye walked into the main hall in a moment, desperately suppressed the feeling of wanting to point at the old emperor and scolded, and argued: "Within seven days, the sons will hand over the evidence to their father, and at that time, they will ask their father to investigate truthfully and thoroughly, and return justice to the four highnesses." ”

Bo Zhaoxu's brows furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously protected Xiang Yeqi behind him, confirming that the old emperor would not throw anything again, before responding: "Not bad." ”

"Good!"

The old emperor sneered coldly at all, and said mockingly: "If I can't find any evidence by then, I will never show mercy!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Yeqi really held the evidence in her hands, she would have to complain about herself almost the whole time of the few steps out of the palace gate.

Fortunately, these are true.

"Your Majesty is really a little too much, the facts are clearly in front of him, what can he deny for Bo Chengkan? What a ......."

Xiang Yeqi complained alone about how confused the old emperor was, but when he saw that Bo Zhaoxu didn't say a word, he was worried, so he simply stopped in front of Bo Zhaoxu, shook his hand, and saw if Bo Zhaoxu's attention was still here: "Crooked? ”

"Huh?"

Bo Zhaoxu saw the little fat orange with teeth and claws in front of him at a glance, took the opportunity to take the hand that gestured to the night and stroked it back and forth, and pecked it lightly on the mouth, quite a "sense of achievement" that stole the success: "Yan'er finally knows to take the initiative to defend the king, the king is happy, but he is not allowed?" ”

"Quasi, quasi, how dare I not allow you to be happy."

Xiang Yeqian took a sip in his heart Bo Zhaoxu cut it was all black, and before he could walk a few steps away, he saw Xiang Changheng trotting over under the leadership of the old lady Xiang, and there was something vaguely in his mouth.

Seeing Xiang Changheng, Xiang Yeqi was happy, until Xiang Changheng urged Xiang Changheng with a smile from the old lady: "Heng'er, don't you call someone soon?" ”

Xiang Changheng nodded obediently, and called in a milky voice: "Dad." ”

"You, listen to me and quibble with you! Phew, listen to me explain to you, this is my uncle's child, my aunt died early, my uncle was in business alone, so he left this child to my grandmother to take care of, he is ignorant and calls people, you must not be angry with him! ”

Xiang Yeqi originally thought about how to explain to Bo Zhaoxu how he had an extra son out of thin air in the short time he was away from Beijing, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem that she gave birth to it, so what was she anxious about?

"I heard that you still want to take him as a righteous son?"

Before Xiang Yeqian could reply, Bo Zhaoxu took the first step to pick up Xiang Changheng and joked to Xiang Yeyan: "If you like it, this king has no opinion, but taking care of children is indeed quite a troublesome thing." ”
