The two warmed up for a while, and Xi Gu'an proposed: "It's been so long now, and your identity is different now, why don't we ...... the bones of your mother's corpse Let's bury it. ”

When she said this, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, for fear that this matter would once again touch Ling Xiqian's scales. And sure enough, Ling Xiqian still shook his head, after seeing the little girl's uneasy appearance, he also understood what she was worried about, so he reached out and patted the back of her hand.

"It's okay, this matter has long passed, and although I will still be sad now, it is more of a stress reaction in the original mood."

"That ......"

"Unfortunately, my mother died a tragic death, and I didn't want the body to be insulted, so I secretly found someone to burn it and scatter her ashes here." Ling Xiqian's eyes stared at the piece of land under his feet, revealing a smile with a little comfort, "Now, none of this matters, success or defeat is just like this, it should belong to me, I will take it with my own hands." ”

Xi Gu'an patted his hand gently: "Don't worry, I will always be with you." ”

After everything was over, Ling Xiqian took her home, but before this wave of warmth continued, she received a report from the palace that she wanted to recruit His Royal Highness King Ning into the palace.

Xi Gu'an was a little worried and asked, "Seeing that they are so tough, it will be fine, right?" ”

Ling Xiqian frowned, he had a not-so-good intuition. He recruited his guards, and when he inquired, he found out that the palace was turned upside down, and the emperor suddenly had an unknown illness, and now everyone began to scramble to stand in line, and the biggest threat or help was Ling Xiqian himself.

Ling Xiqian frowned: "How could it be so sudden?" ”

Chu Yi lowered his head, and his voice was a little worried: "On the surface, it means that the emperor's body has aged, but in the lower eyeliner, I learned that the emperor's body was given chronic poison in the early days, and now he is powerless to return to the sky." ”

He hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, those people were still trying to calculate something about him in this place, it was really too arrogant.

Just as he thought, as soon as the person who led him walked into the room, he saw the princes and grandsons kneeling on the ground.

Sensing the movement, they all turned their heads in unison, and when they saw the comer, there was emotion in their eyes.

Ling Xiqian looked at the person on the bed, and saw that the old emperor seemed to be dozens of years old for a while, especially those eyes, which had long since faded from their former sharpness and majesty, and became cloudy. And now, lying on the bed is no longer the decisive and invincible king, and only an old man in his twilight years is left.

Ling Xiqian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he also bowed in accordance with the courtier's etiquette. He is not a prince and does not need to serve the sick, so etiquette can be done only on the surface.

And at this time, the person who knelt at the front bowed to him and saluted: "Uncle Huang." ”

Ling Xiqian squinted at the past, a little surprised. He originally thought that Ling Xirui should be the most impatient in this environment, but he didn't expect that it was actually the third prince who took the initiative to show favor to him.

He nodded, and saw the third prince wiping a handful of tears, and his tone was full of sorrow: "My father's body suddenly collapsed like this, and the imperial doctor said that my father was physically aging, but I don't believe it at all, obviously my father was fine a few days ago, and he personally taught his brother poetry, why did he suddenly ...... Does Uncle Huang know what the reason is? ”

Ling Xirui couldn't bear it anymore after all, and said sharply: "Who do you want to map?" ”

The third prince pretended to be very frightened: "No, no, it's just that there are more strange people under the emperor's uncle, and I wonder if I can reveal the real culprit who framed my father, maybe I can find a miracle medicine to save my father." ”

Ling Xirui sneered: "Isn't it just what you want now, if my father dies like this, and you take all the charges against me, can you be the emperor justifiably, you dream!" ”

Hearing this, everyone present gasped. They didn't dare to come out, and their heads were pressed to the ground, as if they were just a sculpture and had heard nothing.

This is a battle for princes, a battle for future positions, even if they have a few heads, they don't dare to participate in it.

The third prince's eyes widened, and he looked aggrieved: "Why does the imperial brother say this about me, I don't have any great disrespect, it's just that the imperial brother is cursing his father and the emperor with this, which is really inappropriate." ”

"Enough!" The first to break the relative atmosphere of this gust of wind was not Ling Xiqian, but the Queen Mother who came to hear the wind. After her sharp gaze swept around, she finally stopped on Ling Xiqian's body.

"Lord Wang, can you take a step to speak?"

Ling Xiqian bowed his head at her and walked out.

The Queen Mother's expression was still calm, but the slightly clenched hand still revealed his nervousness. Ling Xiqian was a very keen person, so he could naturally see the nervousness in the heart of the Queen Mother, and said with a slight smile: "What is the Queen Mother worried about, or is there something telling me?" "Ninety-nine Chinese

The Queen Mother's hand clenched a little tighter, and her majestic face also showed a little stunned. After a long time, she sighed slowly: "You are also older, naturally understand what I mean, now in such a situation, neither you nor I can stay out of the matter, you must choose a side, it is better to choose me." ”

"Is it the third prince you support? It should be said that you want to help your own son ascend to the throne? That's why you're here to woo me and build momentum for this unbreakable secret of yours? ”

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "You...... How did you? ”

Her heart was beating fast, and her mood became worse after meeting the other person's meaningful gaze. She has been in the palace for so long, she is not a stupid white sweet, you can see from this person's eyes that this person's mind is not ordinary!

Her heart was shocked, and her eyes couldn't help but widen, and a very big rebellious thought came out of her heart.

She couldn't help but raise her hand and tremblingly pointed at the indifferent man in front of her, and said, "You...... You...... Do you want to ......! ”

Seeing that her face was flustered, her eyes looked like she had seen some kind of frightened picture, Ling Xiqian only smiled slightly, and did not have any idea of answering.

The Queen Mother's back was wet with cold sweat, but she still had to pretend to be calm on the surface. Her expression changed too much, and she twitched involuntarily for a while, looking particularly weird.

Her expression suddenly became hideous, and her eyes glared sharply at the person opposite: "You...... Wish for the moon! ”

Her tone was sharp, almost to the point of breaking.

Ling Xiqian smiled lightly and didn't speak, but said softly to the little palace maid beside her: "The Queen Mother is tired today, you take her down first, after all, the Queen Mother's phoenix body can't be neglected." ”

The little palace maid was trembling from the beginning, and when she heard the big news at first glance, she only felt that her blood was cold. And now, seeing that the Queen Mother was pale, and although His Royal Highness King Ning was smiling, there was a coldness and warning in her eyes, her legs were weak, and she knelt down all of a sudden.

"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life."

The Queen Mother's face became even more ugly, and she scolded: "What are you sparing, don't you go back to the palace quickly." ”

The little palace maid responded again and again, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they took a step, they were stopped by a strong arm.

Although Ling Xiqian's face was small, his expression was strong and could not be refused: "With all due respect, that illness is too serious, and the place is really not in the body of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother should go back to the house as soon as possible to rest." ”

The Queen Mother's face was even more ugly, but she still had to pretend to be smiling on the surface. She said in a steady tone: "The mourning family has its own measure, and it doesn't bother the prince." With that, she left in a hurry as if she had been burned by fire.

Chu Yi suddenly appeared, and said with some concern: "Master, how to anger the Queen Mother, will it not be good." After all, no matter who sits in that position, she is the most precious person, and His Majesty has ...... If the Queen Mother insists on ordering the punishment of the master......"

"No," Ling Xiqian shook his head firmly, "Anyway, we have to do something more rebellious, why do we care about this?" ”

Chu Yi was shocked, looking at the serious expression on his master's face, which did not seem to be fake, but he understood-I am afraid that his master has already made up his mind. It's just that the timing is a little too fast.

However, at this time, there was a scream in the distance, Ling Xiqian's brows furrowed, and he turned around and said, "Go and see what happened." ”

The news of the first year of junior high came back quickly, but after a moment, he ran over with a panicked face: "Lord, let's go quickly, the palace has turned the sky upside down." ”

"His Majesty the Emperor died just now, and the Queen Mother announced the emperor's decree, it is the third prince, but she can't convince the public, and the royal princes have been involved, and we are really not suitable to come out at this time."

However, what she didn't expect was that when she said this, Ling Xiqian's face didn't show any panic, but she had already expected it.

Presumably that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to force the palace, thinking of this, Ling Xiqian couldn't help but sneer.

"For such an important matter, the courtiers also have to protect the palace, let's go and take a look."

Chu Yi had a surprised look on his face, and he didn't know why today's master was so impulsive. He wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end he reluctantly accepted his master's decision.

"So, what is the master going to do next?"

Ling Xiqian thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Gather all the cavalry, as a courtier, it is naturally a duty not to slack off to kill the rebellious ministers and thieves and protect the safety of the royal family." ”
