Chapter Eighty-Nine: Taking a Stand
He didn't know if it was because he stabbed the Liu family to death, or because he loved Gu Muqing.
Before Gu Muqi spoke, he took a step forward and said to the Queen Mother, "The prime minister's daughters are young and beautiful, and they are known to everyone in the world. ”
Then he said, "Today is a good day for family reunion, I don't know if I can borrow a step to talk to my mother, just so that our mother and son can have a rare banquet scene." ”
Zun Mojun walked to the Queen Mother, stood between Mama Li and the Queen Mother, and stretched out his arm to let the Queen Mother hold his arm.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother reluctantly swallowed the words she wanted to ridicule Gu Muqi just now, and walked away with Zun Mojun.
The mother and son walked out of the noisy banquet and came to the Imperial Garden.
Zun Mojun was the first to speak, and asked respectfully, "I wonder if my mother is dissatisfied with the Gu sisters?" ”
The Queen Mother pondered for a while and said, "Why does the prince ask the mourning family like this? ”
Seeing the Queen Mother answer himself like this, Zun Mojun definitely didn't want to find out and tell himself, but he knew that the emperor had taken a fancy to Gu Muqi now, and he definitely wanted to take her as a concubine.
The Queen Mother is targeting the Gu sisters like this, and in the future, Gu Muqi will have the protection of Zun Motian, and the Queen Mother's spearhead will definitely be pointed at her wife, Gu Muqing.
"The son just heard the conversation between his mother and Gu Muqi, and he heard a few hints of dissatisfaction from it, so since the mother said that she was not dissatisfied with the Gu sisters, what did the son do wrong?" Zun Mojun held the hand of the Queen Mother and said.
The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "You kid has been good at observing words and emotions since he was a child. Sure enough, nothing escapes your eyes. The mourning family also told you just now, you disposed of the Liu family privately, and you didn't take the mourning family in your eyes at all. ”
Zun Mojun had already guessed in his heart that the Queen Mother would make a big fuss about this matter, and just now he brought the Queen Mother out at the banquet to explain this matter to the Queen Mother.
"The son didn't ignore you, this matter is complicated and there is a reason, the son hopes that the mother can listen to the son to tell you in detail."
The Queen Mother did not speak, and sat down in the pavilion of the pond in the imperial garden with Zun Mojun.
"Mother, the son-in-law executed the Liu family because there was a reason." Zun Mojun explained.
"A mere harem infighting, why bother the prince to make such a big move, Liu Shangshu is also an important minister in the court, although the Liu family was born to the concubine in his house, but if you kill this Liu family, isn't it equivalent to humiliating Liu Shangshu."
The Queen Mother looked at Zun Mojun's eyes like a tired old man at this time and said.
"How much burden will you put on your brother in the court. You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and you don't understand the deception in the middle of the court. ”
Zun Mojun listened to what the Queen Mother said to him, and the central idea was still to complain that he had executed the Liu family, adding a burden to Zun Motian.
"Mother, Erchen has been assisting the Imperial Brother wholeheartedly since the day the Imperial Brother ascended the throne, and I believe that the Imperial Brother will not suffer any waves because the Erchen killed a mere sinner."
"What's more, that Liu family has made waves in this palace several times, and her son has repeatedly remembered that she is the daughter of Liu Shangshu and has not punished her excessively, and she is generally in a state of turning a blind eye, but what she did this time is really excessive."
Zun Mojun knew that there were some things that the Queen Mother knew at all, but she was pretending to be confused.
Talking to the Queen Mother today, Zun Mojun also wants the Queen Mother to know, and he knows this matter psychologically.
"How excessive? After all, isn't she doing this to compete for favor and let you look at her more? ”
The Queen Mother said to Zun Mojun earnestly, "The mourning family is also a woman, and when she was a concubine in the mourning family, she often drilled the horns of the bull, and wanted your father to come to my house every day, but it was only later that I realized that as a man's wife, I must tolerate and accept other women, and the Liu family has only been married to you for a few years, she is still young, how can she have such an awareness?" ”
"The queen mother, Liu's ignorant all kinds of sons have endured, this king and Liu's marriage for more than two years, although never rounded but can be regarded as a regular relationship, Liu's mental means son can not know better, she this time privately used the forbidden things in the treasury, is already a mortal person, not to mention that she has intensified in the past six months, several times to kill the princess of this king, and the retainer has sufficient reasons to execute Liu."
Zun Mojun looked at the moon in the sky and said to the Queen Mother.
Since I am here today, there are some things that must be said, not only for myself, but also for Gu Muqing.
And he knows the Queen Mother very well, if he doesn't explain things today, then the Queen Mother may be more targeted at Gu Muqing in the future.
"Today is the night of family reunion, and I know in my heart that my mother is very dissatisfied with my execution of the Liu family, but my son has grown up now, and there are thousands of soldiers of the Zhou State under his command, as a man, if I can't even protect my most beloved wife, then how can I protect this country?"
The Queen Mother looked at Zun Mojun in shock, she didn't expect Zun Mojun to say such things to herself, and she didn't expect Zun Mojun to be so affectionate to Gu Muqing.
"Is everything you're doing for that woman?"
"Yes, the princess of this king is an indispensable person for the vitality of this king, and she is a piece of flesh on the tip of my heart, no matter how many women I have, I can't match Gu Muqing, and I won't let anyone hurt her in my life." Zun Mojun said in a deep voice.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Anyone?" ”
"That's right, anyone." Zun Mojun looked at the Queen Mother and said categorically.
"Queen Mother, there is another reason why the sons can execute the Liu family so quickly."
Zun Mojun paused, seeing that the Queen Mother did not speak, he continued, "Although the Liu family is naughty in this palace, it is true that it rarely comes out of the Xuanwang Mansion, and the few times it is also a family member who follows him home to visit relatives, she is such a person who shows joy and anger on her face, she can't hide it, she can get the forbidden goods in the treasury in her hand, there must be other high-ranking or extraordinary people with the team, and the son will definitely be able to cause some turmoil through the death of the Liu family, isn't it?" ”
The Queen Mother was speechless when she heard Zun Mojun's words, she didn't expect Zun Mojun to say this.
Thinking in his heart, he can't reveal his plan at this time, Zun Mojun also grew up with her, she naturally knows Zun Mojun's ruthlessness very well, if he investigates further at this time and finds that the person behind the scenes is herself, then the two brothers are enemies because of this trivial matter, Zun Mojun has all the troops of the Zhou Dynasty, and at that time Zun Motian's status will be difficult to protect.
