When she arrived at the palace, Mrs. Fenhou first took Gu Huanyi to congratulate Concubine Zhen.

There were many officials and relatives in the palace who came to congratulate, but because the concubine had just given birth, they could not come out to meet the guests. The little prince also fell asleep in the apse, and did not take it out for everyone to see, only Princess Miaohua entertained in the front hall.

The two asked a few words about the health of Concubine Zhen and the little prince, and without bothering, they took their leave.

Coming out of the palace of the concubine, the palace people around the queen were already waiting outside.

Mrs. Fenhou handed Gu Huanyi to the palace people and said, "You can go with peace of mind, I will wait for you at the palace gate." ”

Seeing that Gu Huanyi was a little uneasy, the palace people took the initiative to say: "Miss Gu, the little one's name is Sixi, you just have to come with me." ”

Sixi told Gu Huanyi on the road that the queen originally had two sons, both of whom died at the age of ten, and since then, the queen has become like ashes, burning incense and worshiping Buddha all day long.

Later, the prince of the Ming Dynasty entered Beijing, at that time the princess of the Ming Dynasty died, the emperor remembered that the son lost his mother, and the queen had no children under his knees.

"Niangniang loves the prince very much, you are the person on the tip of the prince's heart, and the queen will naturally like you."

Gu Huanyi heard Sixi tell her so much, so she looked at Sixi a few more times, estimating that he should be Li Congxin's person, otherwise which palace person would dare to say so much to a guest who met for the first time?

With the people arranged by Li Congxin by his side, Gu Huanyi was really much more relieved.

After arriving at the queen's Kunning Palace, Gu Huanyi greeted and kowtowed in a proper manner, and greeted the queen according to the courtesy.

The queen is over forty years old, she looks much older than Concubine Zhen, her expression is also a little rigid, and her eyes staring at Gu Huanyi are a little serious, which makes her originally relaxed mood tense again in an instant.

After receiving the salute, the queen ordered to retreat left and right.

Gu Huanyi quickly looked at Sixi, and Sixi's expression also showed surprise and uneasiness, but he had to obey the order to go out.

When there was no one around, the queen looked at her a few times and said, "Mrs. Fenhou probably told you that this palace summoned you this time for the marriage between you and the prince of Ming. ”

Gu Huanyi replied cautiously: "Yes, the courtiers have heard a little. ”

The queen said: "Then the palace will not beat around the bush, your marriage, the emperor and the palace do not agree, you can do it yourself." ”

Gu Huanyi raised his head in surprise, couldn't help blurting out the question, and paused before saying: "The courtier knows that she is not worthy of the prince of Ming, but the prince and I are happy and sincere, and I beg the queen to give us a chance." ”

The queen said: "If it is someone else, the identity is worse, as long as he likes it, the palace will not interfere, but it is you, no." ”

Gu Huanyi couldn't help but asked, "Why can't the courtier?" Please also ask the queen to make it clear. ”

The queen said: "I have said to the palace several times from the heart, you are a girl with a blue heart, why can't you be the only one, can't you think of it?" The truth of the prince's matter before was not revealed, and it was inconvenient to say something in this palace, so you must know at this moment that the Gu family's army was destroyed because the prince was deceived and instigated. Such sins, even though the crown prince is dead, the emperor and the palace are still difficult to solve in their hearts, let alone you? When you learn the truth about your family's death, will you have a grudge against the emperor? Will it give birth to a rebellious heart? Will it drive a wedge between the prince of Ming and the emperor? Many unclear things cannot be covered up by a sentence of mutual affection. ”

Gu Huanyi's heart cooled down a little, it turned out that the emperor and queen had been guarding against her, afraid that she would use Li Congxin to take revenge.

Seeing that she was silent, the queen persuaded again: "Don't blame this palace for being ruthless, this palace has watched the prince of Ming grow up and become a talent, and he is a rare good child in terms of the country and the family." If it weren't for your family's business, he wouldn't have to suffer the current prison sentence, let alone the emperor's suspicion. If you are truly good for him, cutting off the love thread as soon as possible is the right way! ”

The queen's words were too true for Gu Huanyi to refute.

But she was unwilling in her heart, why should others bear the consequences of what they did wrong?

After listening to Niangniang's words, the courtiers believed that Niangniang really loved the prince of Ming, and everything was considered from his situation. But the sage said, 'For the sake of government and virtue, such as the North Star, dwelling in its place and the stars are together.' If the emperor can do this and bring the sinner who killed Gu Jiajun to justice, the people will naturally support him, and the courtiers will not have time to thank the emperor for Gu Jiajun, so how can they have a rebellious heart? ”

Gu Huanyi still hasn't finished half a sentence, if the emperor and the queen are worried that she has a rebellious heart, it can only mean that they don't plan to announce the truth to the public......

If the prince just takes cold ice powder, this is the prince's private immorality, and it is okay to announce it to the world.

But if the prince is involved in the cruelty of 80,000 Gu family troops, this is the royal injustice, and if it is announced to the public, Sheji will usher in a huge shock!

Now it seems that the emperor does not dare to take this risk.

The queen said angrily: "This palace has good words to persuade you, but you are stubborn, don't you think that you can do whatever you want by relying on the mind of the prince of Ming?" ”

Gu Huanyi raised his eyes to look directly at the queen and said: "The courtiers are not pampered and arrogant, but believe that the emperor is a wise monarch, and believe that our dynasty will convince people with virtue and rule the world with the rule of law." Previously, the queen mother explained that Wang Shizi was investigating the case for me, which inevitably underestimated him, and the prince did not hesitate to risk his life to investigate the case clearly, in addition to returning Gu Jiajun a justice, but also to return the emperor and the prince to justice! If Niangniang really understands the son, she should know that the son will never stop because of my departure. ”

"What a sharp-toothed girl!"

After the queen finished speaking, she suddenly smiled, and the originally tense atmosphere became a little strange in an instant.

"This palace not only underestimated the prince of Ming, but also underestimated you. You are so righteous in front of this palace, I think you don't harbor evil intentions, but this palace is too worried. ”

Gu Huanyi was stunned, the queen mother was actually testing her?

"...... You ......"

Gu Huanyi didn't know what to say for a while, but was a little apprehensive because of his tough attitude just now.

The queen said in a soft tone: "Don't blame the emperor and the palace for being too careful. Now that the little prince has just been born, and there are people around him who need assistance, the emperor and the palace feel that the prince of Ming is the most suitable candidate. We have high hopes for him, so we should naturally be cautious about his wife. If there are people harboring evil intentions on the side, the country of our country is in danger. ”

The queen said Gu Huanyi so clearly, it can be seen that she already trusts her.

Gu Huanyi hurriedly apologized and said: "The courtiers have been disrespectful before, and they also invite the queen mother Haihan, the courtiers don't know the height of the sky, so they will speak wildly......"

The queen didn't care too much, and said: "It's okay, in the face of major rights and wrongs and national hatred, if you don't even have this backbone, you won't be able to enter the eyes of this palace." ”
