Zhong Yuqi said: "Since the concubine and the prince have already planned to tell the old prime minister, they are not afraid that the old prime minister will go to the informant." Whether the old prime minister is involved or not, this matter is bound to be carried out. It's just that with the participation of the old prime minister, this matter will go more smoothly. If the old prime minister gets in the way, the prince's mansion, the Meng family, and the Bai family will also be enemies of the Huo family in the future. ”

Zhong Yuqi's words, how is it not a threat to Huo Benchu?

Therefore, Huo Benchu said: "The old minister understands this truth. It's not too early, and it's inconvenient for the old minister to have too much private contact with the prince and princess, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others. The old minister took his leave first! ”

After speaking, Huo Benchu stood up, bowed to Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi, and exited the study.

At the same time, Huo Benchu slandered in his heart, this Rui Wang Ye is really as rumored, he is a strict wife. Such a big event, it is up to Princess Rui to come forward! If it weren't for the matter between the former prince and the Zhong family, I'm afraid that Prince Rui would continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head, right?

Therefore, Huo Benchu despised Xiao Yulin in his heart, and went to the bedroom and called Mrs. Huo to leave the courtyard together.

Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "The princess has already guessed the intention of the royal brother, so why hasn't the princess mentioned it to the king?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "What does the prince refer to? ”

"That's it, the royal brother pointed out Huo Siru to the crown prince."

"Oh! Originally, I was just guessing, but I thought it was unlikely, so I didn't tell the prince. Now that even Prime Minister Huo Cheng has said this, I think it is more likely. ”

"So? Whether it's true or not, the princess can also tell the king, and the king can discuss it with the princess. ”

If it's not true, why should we talk about things that don't exist? Originally, I just thought it was unlikely. ”

Xiao Yulin didn't speak anymore.

It didn't take long for Xiao Ziteng to enter the study again.

Zhong Yuqi told Xiao Ziteng everything just now, and Xiao Ziteng was shocked when he heard it.

But Xiao Ziteng also knew that this matter was also beneficial to him, so he didn't think much about it, and thanked Zhong Yuqi and Xiao Yulin a thousand times.

Zhong Yuqi also told Xiao Ziteng that this matter should not be disclosed to outsiders, even Meng Yunting and Huo Siru.

Xiao Ziteng also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately nodded in response to Zhong Yuqi's words.

After that, Xiao Ziteng sent Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi out of the house.

Tonight, the people in the three mansions are a little sleepless, Rui Wang's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion, and Prince's Mansion, they are all thinking about this in their hearts.

A few days later, Zhong Yuqi and Xiao Yulin took Xiao Zixian and Xiao Ke'er to the Prince's Mansion as guests. Later, Huo Benchu and Mrs. Huo also went to the Prince's Mansion.

Huo Benchu discussed with Zhong Yuqi and Xiao Yulin in the study for a while, and then dispersed.

Back at King Rui's Mansion, Zhong Yuqi sent a guard to Yunzhou to find Yan Runsheng, saying that Zhong Yuqi wanted to hear about the story, and invited him to the Rui Palace. Latest

Yan Runsheng then took Fang Shengshou and came to the Rui Wang's Mansion with the guards to live.

September 17 is Xiao Yulin's twentieth birthday, and on this day, Ruiwangfu held a banquet again.

Empress Dowager Zhao personally put on a jade crown for Xiao Yulin, symbolizing that Xiao Yulin was an adult and could settle in the court.

At night, after coaxing Xiao Zixian and Xiao Ke'er to sleep, Zhong Yuqi invited Yan Runsheng and Fang Shengshou to come to the north courtyard and talk to Xiao Yulin in the side room. dismissed the other people in the courtyard again, and asked Chunhua and Qiushi to guard the door, and Ma Liu patrolled the courtyard.

The four of them deliberated for a long time, predicting many scenarios and how they were going to respond.

An hour later, Yan Runsheng and Fang Shengshou walked out of the side room and went to the guest room.

Zhong Yuqi and Xiao Yulin sat in the side room, silent.

After a while, Zhong Yuqi said: "Lord, tomorrow is going to be a showdown with the emperor, maybe ......"

Xiao Yulin said: "This king will go to talk to the queen mother first, and then go to tell the royal brother later." As long as the royal brother does not execute this king immediately, this king will be fine for the time being. ”

Zhong Yuqi couldn't bear it, and said, "It's better to let me tell the emperor!" ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Let you go and tell the imperial brother, I'm afraid that as soon as you finish speaking, the imperial brother will kill you on the spot." After that, the royal brother will talk to this king about the pros and cons, and the queen mother will persuade him again, but I am afraid that this king will not be able to do his job anymore. ”

Xiao Yulin: "This matter, in the final analysis, is a matter between the former prince and the Zhong family, and it involves the palace, and it is not right for this king to stand on either side." But if you're gone, what's the use of this king talking about it? Moreover, even if the royal brother does not kill this king, he will put this king under house arrest until he dies, and then kill all the people who associate with you. When the time comes, who else will speak up for the former prince and the Zhong family? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "But this matter was originally the Zhong family's business, and I insisted on overturning the case for the Zhong family and the former prince." I had already thought about not pulling the prince into the water before. The reason why I married the prince was just to take advantage of the prince. ”

Xiao Yulin smiled and said, "This king married you, and he is the uncle of the Zhong family, how can you say that this king has nothing to do with the Zhong family?" As for why you married this king, this king knows very well in his heart. ”

Xiao Yulin: "By now, we have two children, and you don't have no affection for this king." Even if you still don't love this king, this king believes that with this king's kindness to you, this king will definitely let this king live in your heart! ”

Zhong Yuqi looked at Xiao Yulin, her face was a little moved, and she didn't even know that tears were falling.

Xiao Yulin smiled lightly, reached out to wipe away the tears on Zhong Yuqi's face, and said, "It's all this time, is it hot?" Look at you, even the sweat comes out! ”

Zhong Yuqi blinked her eyes and said, "It's because my eyes are too tired, so I'm sweating." ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Since you are tired, then close your eyes and sleep!" Other things, there is this king! This matter is not only for the Zhong family, for the former prince, but also for the Rui Wangfu, for the future of you and me! This king told you when he was a child, when he grows up, this king will marry you and be good to you for the rest of his life! ”

Zhong Yuqi closed her eyes, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes again, and she choked up and said, "However, you may lose your life because of this......"

Xiao Yulin took Zhong Yuqi into his arms and said: "Even if it weren't for this incident, he might have lost his life at the hands of his imperial brother, so it would be better to strike first." ”

Xiao Yulin: "Didn't you ever say to this king's book that if this king fell in love with you, he would take the king's life." In fact, at that time, this king had already guessed what 'falling in love' meant, but this king deliberately pretended not to know. This king loves you, and has always loved you, even if it takes this king's life? Die for you, this king is willing! ”
