"Why?"

Song Erniu felt that the old lady was not an unreasonable person, and there were so many rooms in the Taishi Mansion, since she had already taken in the eldest girl, why didn't she keep her?

"Erniu, you are a smart person, you must have seen Xiaobao today and lost your proportions. The old body doesn't let you stay, naturally for the good of you and the prince. ”

The old lady took Song Erniu's hand and said patiently, "Do you know why all the courtiers entered the palace today?" ”

Song Erniu came back to her senses after realizing it, yes, the emperor has been around for a couple of days. At present, several princes are staring at the throne, although the emperor likes the nine princes, but he has never established a prince. Until the last minute, who knows what the outcome will be?

She is now the titular Princess Jing. At this time, she should be in King Jing's mansion and help King Jing stabilize the situation together, instead of coming to the Hu family to wait for the result.

She was so careless. "Thank you for reminding me, it was indeed my carelessness just now."

Song Erniu left from the old lady's side to say goodbye to Xiaobao, "Is Xiaobao a man, Xiaobao will wait for his mother, in a few days, his mother will definitely come to pick up Xiaobao, okay?" ”

Xiaobao is a sensible child, and he knows that his mother has important things to do, even if he doesn't want to, he still agrees.

"This time, my mother should come to pick up Xiaobao early, don't forget Xiaobao."

Song Erniu touched its head distressedly, "Fool, I am your mother, how can a mother not want her own children." ”

At this moment, Song Erniu completely forgot how she disliked Xiaobao before. Instead, she unconsciously became a loving mother and looked at Xiaobao patiently, as if as long as she kept watching, Xiaobao could grow up safely.

The eldest girl personally sent her away, and at the gate, Song Erniu advised, "It's best not to go out again these days, no matter what happens, you have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before doing it." Got it? ”

Such a big thing happened today, even if she gave Song Daniu a few more darts, Song Daniu didn't dare to go out again. Hearing this, he immediately nodded, "Don't worry, I have it all in mind, but it's you, what's going on with you and your brother-in-law?" ”

Xiaobao is young and doesn't understand anything, but the big girl is not a child, Song Erniu doesn't mention Chu Mufeng today, and she has to go back to Jingwangfu at night. Thinking of the previous rumors, a terrible thought flashed in Song Daniu's heart.

"Erniu, shouldn't you be the princess Jing that everyone has been talking about recently?"

Recently, Kyoto City has talked about the future Princess Jing, it is said that this person is from the countryside, but King Jing likes her, not only rejected the kindness of the eighth prince and the eldest prince in public, but also threatened in the main hall that he would marry her only in this life.

As soon as this move came out, it envied many ladies in Kyoto City. This person also soon became the public enemy of the women of Kyoto City.

Before, Song Daniu was only listening to gossip, but today thinking of Song Erniu's various words and deeds, she suddenly had such an idea. When she said it, she was scared herself.

How did Song Erniu know King Jing, didn't King Jing know that she had been married and had children?

Why did you make him Princess Jing? When Song Daniu didn't know how to convince herself, Song Erniu opened her mouth.

"Sister, you are being cranky, none of this is true, in short, you will know soon."

When Song Erniu went back, the housekeeper was about to send someone to find him, and when he came back, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess, if you go out in the future, let's take a few people, at the moment Kyoto City is not safe, and the prince is in the palace again, if you have three long and two short, the old slave is really not good to explain to the prince." ”

The housekeeper didn't say it explicitly, but Song Erniu heard the meaning of the housekeeper's words. Now is the critical moment for the Nine Princes, and many people are looking for the weaknesses of the Nine Princes behind their backs, and everyone knows that Song Erniu is the weakness of the Nine Princes.

If you catch Song Erniu, you can threaten the prince, and when the time comes, ......

"Don't worry, housekeeper, from tomorrow until the prince comes back, I won't go out again."

At this time, in the palace, the emperor called all the princes to the bed, and the emperor was already very weak, and he had to cough several times when he said a word now. The whole person looked extremely powerless.

The ninth prince knelt at the front, and the emperor took his hand, not knowing what he saw, and read the name of Concubine Liu in his mouth.

Concubine Liu is the mother of the Ninth Prince, and she has been dead for many years. Regarding his memory, the Nine Princes are already very vague.

It is said that the father and the emperor are very fond of the mother, and the love between the father and the mother was also a beautiful talk, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, the mother was poisoned and died, and the father was also decadent for a long time, and then the father never mentioned the mother again.

Everyone said that the heavenly family had no true feelings, and he believed it at that time. For so many years, although he seems to be respectful and filial, he actually has a lot of complaints in his heart.

The most important thing in the palace is that there is no shortage of women with their own merits, and in the three-year election, I have never heard the newcomers laughing, so I see the old people crying?

The Nine Princes watched their father favor this today and that tomorrow. The harem is smoky and intrigued.

The Nine Princes are tired of such days, but they are also comfortable living in such days.

Many times, the Nine Princes even think that it is not bad to live a false life like this.

Later, he met Song Erniu, she lived so vividly, vividly, and with a human touch.

Gradually, the Nine Princes were attracted to him, and even felt that he should live like this.

Unconsciously, the Nine Princes also changed. At the beginning, he imagined what the scene would be like when his father died, but when it really came today, he found that he was calm

Calm like never before. Just like years ago, when his puppy died. No amount of words can save anything. So, it's better not to say anything and wait quietly.

"Xiao Jiu, your mother is coming to pick me up, and I am tired, so I can't protect you anymore in the future."

The emperor coughed lightly, turned his head to look at the other princes, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, these people will settle it for you." ”

The other princes heard that something was wrong, and when they looked up, the emperor suddenly acted as if nothing happened, and then called the black armor guard, "Kill them all." I want to remove all obstacles for Xiao Jiu's accession to the throne. ”

What the?

The emperor wants to kill all the princes except for the Nine Princes? When the ministers of the outer hall heard this, they shouted one after another, "Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not." ”

Marquis Zhongyong also panicked, regardless of rushing into the inner hall, "Your Majesty, don't do it." The new emperor's accession to the throne will inevitably cause turmoil, and the emperor's killing of all the princes at this time will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to the new emperor. ”

The Marquis of Zhongyong was bitter, and those who didn't know thought that she was really thinking about the Nine Emperor Princes.

"Your Majesty, you have experienced all this before, can you bear to see the Nine Princes go through it too? If the emperor is not worried about these princes staying in the capital, it is better to drive them to the fiefdom, so that he can also leave a good name for the nine princes. ”

The emperor glared at the Marquis of Zhongyong dissatisfied, "If I let them go to the fiefdom, it will not be for Xiao Jiu's good, it will be for the sake of raising tigers." In the future, if they rebel, wouldn't Xiao Jiu have to have another infamy of killing his brother? ”

The emperor seems to have made up his mind, no matter what the Marquis of Zhongyong says, the emperor is unwilling to let go, and the prime minister also comes in to persuade him.

"If the emperor is unwilling to send them to the fiefdom, then imprison Kyoto City. In the future, the new emperor personally watched, and the people of Kyoto City also watched, even if they wanted to do something, they couldn't do anything, so the emperor could be satisfied. ”

This time, the emperor didn't say anything more.

"Xiao Jiu, what do you think?" The emperor gave the choice to the Nine Princes,

When the Ninth Prince heard the emperor's proposal just now, he was also surprised, and of course, he was also a little chilled. Regardless of whether these princes were born in anticipation of his descent, they were all his heirs, how could he so easily erase a person's life and death.

Only then, he could also understand the emperor's concerns.

None of his brothers were worry-free. If he hadn't sat in that position today, his fate would have been like theirs, and his fate would have been terrified and precarious.

The palace is originally such a place, you sympathize with others, but you don't know that others have long regarded you as fish and meat, and they don't know when they will bite you back.

However, he can't afford the price of the new emperor's accession to the throne now. So, for the sake of the future, he had no other choice.

Erchen agreed with the prime minister's proposal. Father and son also believe that after today's events, the emperor and brother will definitely not think about anything wrong. ”

The Nine Princes are warning a few princes, and although a few of them are unwilling, nothing is more important than surviving. Under the watchful eye of the emperor, several people nodded reluctantly, "Yes, Erchen will definitely do his best to assist the ninth brother." ”

For so many years, it was the first time to see these princes working together so together, but the emperor was still not satisfied.

"You're still too kind. Well, this should be your first decision before you ascend the throne. ”

The emperor changed his comfortable posture and continued, "You said that you only want to marry her as a concubine in this life, and I didn't object before, but I didn't want you to be angry. ”

"Now that I'm dying, I have to think about it for the sake of the country. I know the helplessness of being the emperor, but I also know the responsibility after sitting in this position. ”

"Xiao Jiu, you can like her, but in this life, you can't be the only woman like her."

When the emperor saw that the ninth prince was about to speak, he directly interrupted her, "You listen to me." ”

"The eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion is smart, kind, knowledgeable, if she is your future queen, she will definitely take on the majesty of **......"

When the ninth prince heard this, he immediately sent a right, "No, father, the son has already promised the second girl, and he will only marry her in this life, and the son cannot break his oath." ”

"Okay, I know it, but you remember who you are......"

The emperor coughed lightly a few times with some displeasure, "If you don't say those things about her, I don't bother to say it, but if you have to let him do something, I won't agree." Why, even now, you still want to be angry? ”

Although the Nine Princes were unwilling, they also knew that now was not the time to disobey their father.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction, "I know that you have always been an obedient child. Over the years, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances. I remember it, and I've left you the best. ”

"The last thing is the matter of the Chu family. I want you to swear that you will not investigate the Chu family's case in this life. Otherwise, you will not die well. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the emperor in surprise.

Is the emperor really good to the Nine Princes, or is it fake? The affairs of the Chu family are a thorn in the emperor's heart, even if he is dying, he is unwilling to let go.

The emperor was worried that the Nine Princes would investigate, and before he died, he would block all the retreats.

The Ninth Prince didn't expect the emperor to do this, and after Wei Leng, he asked, "Why?" ”

In fact, he had heard some of the grievances between his father and the Chu family back then. However, most of those were rumors, and he didn't take them too seriously, and then the Chu family was beheaded. Soon, Kyoto City could no longer hear about the Chu family.

Gradually, he put this matter behind him, he thought that even if his father remembered the events of the past so many years, he would not be as obsessed with it as he was back then.

Who knows, until now, before his father died, he was still unwilling to let go of this matter.

Why exactly?

The ninth prince wanted to ask, but the emperor didn't want to say. "All you have to do is say yes. Remember, never try to overturn the case for the Chu family. Otherwise, I will die without a blind eye. ”

The emperor died that night, and the whole country mourned for three days, and then nearly half a month. Song Erniu has never seen the Nine Princes.

Half a month later, the Nine Princes ascended the throne as emperor. After ascending the throne, the first thing was to announce Ji Yanrou, the daughter of the Feng Ji family, as the queen. Wedding after the state funeral.

The holy decree shocked Kyoto City.

Song Erniu didn't know this, she was still basking in the sun in the backyard at this time, and it was already winter, even if she stood in the sun at noon, she couldn't feel much heat.

Song Erniu likes to bask in the sun, as long as there is sun, she comes over to bask almost every day. This will Song Erniu lie on the soft collapse and close her eyes to recuperate, Xiaocui hurriedly ran over, her eyes were red.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hear movement and look up. Seeing that Xiaocui's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, she thought that she had been bullied by someone, so she got up and asked.

"Princess...... No...... Miss, they're too bullying......"

Song Erniu quickly grasped the point, "You just called me Miss, so ......"

"Miss, don't be sad, those rumors outside must be false, Lord Wang...... The emperor won't do that to you. The emperor said before that he will only marry you alone in his life. What Miss Ji, the emperor must be bitter. ”

Therefore, before the emperor died, he pointed out a marriage to the ninth prince, and the future queen is Ji Yanrou, the eldest lady of the Ji family?

Song Erniu didn't have any emotion, and after looking at Xiaocui's crying and worried appearance, she suddenly smiled, "You said you, how can you speak inconsistently, and you say that they talk nonsense, and you don't want me to take this matter to heart, so what do you think of me?" ”

"Slave maid...... The slave and the maid don't know, the slave and the maid ......"

Xiao Cui was hesitant, and she didn't know how to comfort Song Erniu for a long time.

"Miss, if you are sad, cry, slaves like to cry when they are in a bad mood. It's good to cry out. ”
