She must have known what her son had done, and guessed that sooner or later it would be exposed. With the means of the queen and the Xiao family, they will definitely take this opportunity to put their son to death and eliminate future troubles forever.

What could she do?

A concubine who has been helpless and out of favor for many years, the only thing that is still somewhat useful is her own life.

The assassination of the crown prince is a capital crime.

His Majesty will not spare him.

Guo Chongrong has been driving for many years, so he naturally understands His Majesty's temperament.

Only if he dies, he may be able to make His Majesty remember the old feelings, and he will be soft for a while and turn his eyes on his son.

If His Majesty's heart is as hard as iron, or if he still hates the Guo family, then she will die in vain.

To put it bluntly, this is also a gamble, and it is a big gamble of life for life.

Guo Chongrong turned out to be a ruthless man, and he rescued his son in such a decisive way.

After a short time, the queen arrived with all the concubines.

Xiuyu Pavilion is a remote place, and it is late at night.

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty was here, the concubines wouldn't have rushed here.

The concubines seemed to remember that this one from Xiuyu Pavilion was also the master of the Sixth Palace back then, and he gave birth to such a smart son, but unfortunately he ended up like this.

The emperor pulled the second prince to get up, turned to face the queen, and the concubines, "Spread my will, Jin Guo Chongrong is a concubine, and the title is honorable." ”

The Empress was taken aback and said in astonishment, "Your Majesty—"

The emperor frowned slightly, the expression on his face was still sad, and he waved his hand to interrupt her words: "Go, empress, prepare for the funeral according to the rules of the concubine." ”

The queen opened her mouth, and wanted to say more.

Concubine Hui beside her hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and shook her head at her, "No." ”

The queen had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth stupidly, and blessed the emperor slightly, "The concubine obeys." ”

"I'm tired of the queen mother." Unexpectedly, the second prince opened his mouth and saluted the queen.

The queen was stunned, and after a while, she said expressionlessly: "Why bother to say thank you, Your Highness will mourn!" ”

What else could she say?

This is already the most appropriate thing she can say considering her status as a queen and considering that Her Majesty is here.

She hadn't even glanced at Concubine Rong Shu lying on the couch.

Concubine Rong Shu, hehe, it's really worth dying......

Seeing His Majesty's statement like this, the concubines didn't understand anything, so they all knelt down at the moment and kowtowed to Concubine Rong Shu, who had passed away but was newly promoted on the couch, and several concubines who had been friends with her also sobbed quietly.

The emperor's eyes swept over the concubines, and he snorted coldly in his mouth, "Everyone is dead, what are you doing here?" Let's all go down. ”

The concubines had no choice but to retire as they were told.

Ji's father and son also wanted to take the opportunity to leave the palace.

Looking at the words and deeds of His Majesty and the second prince, the prince's affairs should not need them to worry about.

That's fine, after all, people are fathers and sons, and it's better to talk about it behind closed doors.

But the emperor did not intend to let them go, and made a statement to let their father and son stay.

Ji Nan Castle: ......

The emperor asked the rest of the palace to retreat.

Suddenly there were only four of them left in the cabinet.

Only then did the emperor shout: "Erlang, kneel down for me." ”

The second prince really knelt on the ground, and the tears on his face did not disappear.

"In front of your mother, tell the truth, did you do the prince's business?" The Emperor gritted his teeth and asked him, his face no longer seeing the grief he had seen before.

The second prince raised his eyes and looked straight at him, and said without hesitation: "Yes, it was made by the son." Erchen didn't want to hurt his life, he just wanted his father to re-investigate the case of his grandfather's family. ”

The emperor was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "Can you check it if you want to?" In the affairs of the imperial court, the ministers are in charge, and I make the decision, which round will you be the one to dictate? Zhao Yunlin, you are so bold! ”

Ji's father and son looked at each other, they didn't want to look at the emperor's godson.

How did he know that the second prince was not afraid at all, and said bluntly: "Father, the son dares to ask: Was your decision really wise back then?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji's father and son were shocked.

This second prince is also ignorant, why bother to carry it with His Majesty at this time, first take a soft face and save your life.

The emperor was obviously stunned by his words, and was stunned for a while before sighing: "I am not a god, and I have been negligent sometimes. What's more, a lot of last resort. ”

"Is the case of my grandfather's family your negligence, or is it your last resort?" The second prince pressed forward step by step, ignoring the presence of Ji's father and son, and asked the emperor very embarrassed.

At this time, the Ji father and son could no longer remain silent.

Ji Nancheng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down with the second prince, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been stabbed and excited today, and his heart is unstable, Rong Chen will accompany His Highness to rest first, and then accompany him to come over to guard the spirit later, okay?" ”

The emperor hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

The second prince refused, but he couldn't stand Ji Nancheng and used brute force, so he forcibly helped him leave.

Behind him, the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the many princes and princesses, the emperor liked the second prince the most, and he had high hopes for him, but unfortunately it backfired.

In the Welfare Palace, the second prince was forcibly pressed onto the couch by Ji Nancheng, "You are crazy, how can you say those words in front of Your Majesty?" ”

"I'm not crazy, you're not me, you'll never know how I've lived all these years......" The second prince's emotions were ignited all of a sudden, and he roared at Ji Nancheng, and after roaring, he lay on the couch and cried.

"I really didn't want to hurt my mother, she was my only relative in this world, but I killed her! I'm damned! I'm so damned! ”

"No, you don't give a damn! There is justice in everything, some come early, some come late. Ji Nancheng said: "Believe me, the Guo family's case will come to light one day." ”

"Will it?" The second prince muttered, "The Xiao family is huge, and its protégés are all over the place. After this incident, Empress Xiao must have even more hatred against me, and she wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. They won't give me a chance. ”

"Why do you do this when you already know it?"

"I can't wait, I'm afraid to wait any longer, until the prince's power is more stable, then I'm afraid I won't have a chance at all... Oh, by the way, I forgot, you are already the prince's man, and we are not at odds at all. ”

"I'm not." Ji Nancheng argued: "We are friends, we were, we are, and we will be. ”

The second prince looked at him, and his expression suddenly became pity, "Tingrui, it's impossible." With an identity like me, there will never be friends. Even if there is, it is short-lived, purposeful, wants to take advantage of you, wants to get benefits from you. ”

"Tingrui, you too."

"No—you have to believe that there is always one person in this world who is willing to do anything for you; Even if you die, she will be planning to avenge you and wash away all kinds of grievances for you. ”

When Ji Nancheng said this, Mo Ming thought of Miss Shen, the girl who saved him and helped him on Shuofeng Island, and "Ayu" who gave everything for him in his dream.
