Li Min understood the meaning of these words, and in front of the courtiers next to him, Lund was accusing Li Min: Seeing that the emperor's body was not good, he hurried back, afraid that he would come to fight for the throne of the Son of Heaven.

The courtiers immediately looked at Li Min with suspicious eyes, they didn't know much about the second prince who was sent to the border when he was young, and they didn't know much about his temperament. Now that the high-ranking prime minister suspects his bad intentions, everyone naturally mutters in their hearts.

Li Min hooked his thin lips, his deep eyes had already seen through the prime minister's thoughts, and he smiled disdainfully: "The prime minister knows that this prince was chased and killed at the border, and on the way back, he also encountered the assassination of a group of people in the rivers and lakes, and almost lost his life several times, but with the help of Prince Wen, he barely saved his life and returned to the palace."

The Prime Minister thinks...... Who in the world is so bold as to dare to hunt down and kill the prince? If it weren't for this bold man who intended to kill me, perhaps this prince would have chosen to stay at the border for a longer time. Dare to ask, who is out of breath? ”

Lund's face was heavy, and he felt a ray of unfriendly gaze from the courtiers who were watching the excitement around him, as if he had identified the person who dared to do such a thing, and there was only the prime minister who was above one person and below ten thousand people.

Lund closed his eyelids slightly, and raised his face with a righteous expression: "The second prince is afraid that he has been fighting on the border for many years and has too many enemies, so he will be taken advantage of by others." ”

Li Min sneered, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were full of unfathomable city, he took a step forward, half a head taller than Lund, looked down at him, and asked in a tentative tone: "Prime Minister, if this prince remembers correctly, the cause of the death of the regent back then seems to be very similar to this king!"

I remember that the regent was loyal and courageous, but on the way back triumphantly, he made a conspirator, and it was rumored that he was killed by the remnants of the enemy border, but unfortunately the other party disappeared without a trace. You say, could they be the same people as the people who assassinated me? ”

Lund's face was even darker, and his whole person exuded a cold aura, he frowned, looking unaware: "The second prince is really embarrassed by the old minister, the regent has been dead for a long time, and the old minister has forgotten about him." As for the assassination of the second prince, the old minister has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion except for the early dynasty, and has not been to any suspicious places, so he really doesn't know! ”

"Huh!" The second prince laughed crisply, looked around at the lively courtiers with sharp eyes, and finally fixed on the prime minister's face, "Okay, since you said it yourself, this prince will believe you!" It's a pity that those people in the rivers and lakes have strong martial arts, and they died unexplained after all, it's a pity! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Min shook his head again and again, with a look of regret on his face, brushed his sleeves away, and walked in the direction of the deep palace.

Li Junqi and Ziyu followed, and the two glanced at each other knowingly, and immediately understood what each other meant.

Unexpectedly, the cause of the regent's death was known to the second prince for a long time? He believed that the prime minister had done the poison, but there was no evidence.

"Second prince, about the ...... of my father"

Li Junqi asked tentatively, he wanted to see how much the second prince knew.

Li Min glanced at him, looked around vigilantly, and made sure that it was safe, before he lowered his voice and replied: "As this prince said, the martial arts master who chased and killed us was the one who teamed up to kill the regent in the first place. The prince had sent someone to investigate, and except for the body of the regent, which was transported back to the palace, the corpses of the rest of the guards were left in the woods.

After the investigation of their wounds, it can be distinguished that they died from hidden weapons, knife wounds of the sect, and according to the incisions, they can also be judged which school of kung fu they are.

Speaking of which, this ability is what Xixue is good at, and he also knows about it. This time, this group of martial arts people made a move, and Xixue slowly saw the clues from their tricks, so she told me frankly. ”

"I see." Li Junqi sighed at Xixue's talent, worthy of being the city lord of the western suburbs of the rich country, and he really lived up to his reputation.

Li Min was worried that Li Junqi was unhappy in his heart, and said with relief: "We have successfully exterminated this group of people in the rivers and lakes secretly cultivated by the prime minister, and it can be regarded as avenging your father. ”

Li Junqi smiled lightly and did not say anything. Li Min didn't know that in addition to Lund, the emperor was also involved in this matter.

He won't tell Li Min the truth, after all, the emperor is highly poisoned, and I'm afraid that his life will not be long, so it doesn't matter if he is charged with another crime!

……

Fengyi Palace.

The queen heard rumors from the servants in the palace that the second prince had returned to the city, but she didn't believe it, and specially reprimanded the subordinates who spread the rumors: "Bastard thing!" Even dare to make jokes about the second prince, this palace will see that you are dying! ”

The slave knelt on the ground wrongfully and explained: "Niangniang, the second prince is really back!" He returned to the palace with Prince Wen! I was talking to the prime minister outside, and many people saw it, so the slave dared to go back to the palace to tell you! ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself: "What do you mean by this?" Is Prince Howen back? ”

After thinking about it, I thought of the words of the white-haired old man at the beginning, if her son can become the pride of the sky, there will definitely be someone to help. According to the queen's inference at that time, this person was Prince Wen!

Just when the queen was thinking about it, Yan'er happily brought Li Min back, and said with a smile like a flower: "Queen Mother, Mother!" The second prince is really back! Check it out! ”

The queen looked at it, the person who came had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, it was really her precious son, and he really returned to the palace safe and sound!

The queen got up slowly, her eyes were soaked with tears, and her voice was so excited that she even trembled a little when she spoke: "My son...... Min'er ...... It's really you! Children of Hongu! You're finally back! That's great! Hongu is happy! ”

Li Min rushed forward, hugged the queen's body excitedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Queen Mother! Erchen is back! Queen mother! You are still the same as before, dignified and beautiful, and you have not changed at all. ”

The queen let go of Li Min, who was hugging, stretched out her trembling hand, gently stroked his face, and said distressedly: "Min'er, you have lost a lot of weight and tanned, and you have been outside in the wind and rain all day long, it's really hard!" At the beginning, the queen mother was also ruthless, so she sent you to the border, thinking that you can have your own military power, have your own team, and ensure your safety at any time in the future.

After all, you are the emperor's concubine, and staying in the palace will inevitably become the object of everyone's admiration, and the higher you stand, the more people will be jealous of you. They will do everything they can to frame you, see your jokes, and pull you off your position as a son-in-law. It's better to be far away from the border and leave the deep palace, so as to ensure your safety. ”

Li Min nodded: "Erchen understands!" Erchen understands the good intentions of the queen mother, and the son-in-law really understands, thanks to the cultivation of the queen mother, this made the son-in-law grow up to become a prince who stands up to the sky! ”

"Alright, alright!" The queen took his hand and sat down, only then did she notice Li Junqi standing next to her, and hurriedly accompanied her apologetic smile, "The palace almost forgot, Prince Wen quickly give me a seat!" Thanks to your successful escort of the second prince back, you have contributed a lot, if you have any requests, this palace will definitely try its best to meet you. ”

Li Junqi bowed his hand, and said without surprise: "Back to the queen's mother, the minister will help the second prince, just for two points." One is to repay the queen's kindness and successfully let Tang Anxia marry into Prince Wen's mansion. The second is that the minister is willing to assist the second prince, he has both ability and political integrity, has great ambitions, and is indeed a good monarch and a good general. ”

When the queen heard this, her heart was even more happy, and she instructed Yan'er: "Prince Wen has a good eye, and this palace likes it very much." Yan'er, you go and bring the brocade clothes embroidered with gold silk thread from the palace, reward it to Princess Zheng, and send someone to send it to Prince Wen's mansion. ”

"Yes." Yan'er blessed herself and went down to arrange.

Li Junqi didn't want to stay in Fengyi Palace for a long time, delaying the reunion of Li Min and the queen's mother and son, so he said loudly: "The minister thanked the queen for Princess Zheng, and the minister is planning to go back to the house, and help Princess Zheng get it back by the way."

Niangniang, please also send someone to protect the second prince, especially when you go to bed at night, so that there are no people with bad intentions who do anything to hurt the prince. By the way, there is also the prince's meal on weekdays, you must be careful. If it is a decoction or tonic medicine sent by the hospital to recuperate the body, do not let the second prince drink it, so as not to be poisoned by chronic poison. ”

Li Junqi was a little worried that Lund could poison the emperor for many years, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not poison the second prince. After all, Li Jia is young and can afford to wait.

The queen rolled her eyes, and quickly understood the meaning of Li Junqi's words, and said thoughtfully: "This palace understands, and will arrange this matter as soon as possible, the brocade guards of Fengyi Palace will guard the second prince inch by inch in the future, and this palace will find two imperial doctors from outside the palace to stay in Fengyi Palace, responsible for checking the diet of the second prince, and everything is careful." ”

"That's very good." Li Junqi said with a smile, "The minister will retire first!" ”

Ziyu took the robe given by Yan'er and left Fengyi Palace with Li Junqi.

The queen withdrew from everyone, pulled Li Min into the main hall alone, and instructed Jiang Rong to go to the dining room to keep an eye on it, paying attention to every meal of the second prince, and not having a half-point difference.

He also ordered Yan'er to take people out of the palace to find Langzhong, who was skilled in medicine, and immediately brought them back to Fengyi Palace. Finally, he ordered the father-in-law in charge to mobilize the brocade guards in the palace and gather in front of the palace gate, ready to fight at any time to ensure the safety of the second prince.

Li Min told the queen about the attack of the people in the rivers and lakes on the road, including how Prince Wen came to the rescue, strategized, sacrificed part of the dark team, and Deadpool.

Li Min did not hide the affairs of the western suburbs, the queen was his mother, so he naturally had to tell the truth: "Queen mother, the western suburbs are rich and rival the country, and the city lord cherishes the snow and is my friend!"

Speaking of which, our encounter was really a fate. At that time, Xixue had just inherited the western suburbs of the city, and she was busy every day. Erchen inadvertently went to the western suburbs to relax, thinking about the affairs of the soldiers in the border rectification army, which was really upset.

So, in a tavern in the western suburbs, we sat down at the next table and started drinking. As a result, there was a drunken man who scolded and played drunk, and Erchen persuaded him to say a few words, and the drunkard actually shouted at Erchen, just wanted to hurt people, and wanted to fight with Erchen, but Xixue was fatal with a move, just picked up the chopsticks and injected internal force, and penetrated the opponent's throat with one blow.

Erchen was stunned at the time, he had never seen such a powerful master. sat opposite Xixue, thanked him at the same time, and chatted with him. The two of them felt very close together, so Erchen went to the city lord's hall to stay for a few days.

Since then, Erchen has been in frequent contact with Xixue, and Erchen began to conceal his identity, claiming that he was an official who was demoted in the previous dynasty, and Xixue treated me sincerely. Later, Erchen told him his true identity, and Xixue was willing to sincerely assist me and let the Western Suburbs City be my solid backing. ”

The queen patiently listened to Li Min's words, and praised: "It is really a thing to cherish that there are such close friends in the world, you can rest assured, this palace remembers the kindness of the western suburbs, and will not treat them badly." ”

After thinking about it, the queen's eyes were full of faint ambition and temptation, and she lowered her voice and said: "Min'er, now that you have the military power of the border in your hands, as long as you give an order, the 50,000 army will rush to the imperial city." There is also the backing of the rich and rival country in the western suburbs, which will become your foundation, so it seems that the time is ripe.

Your father's body and bones are not as good as day by day, and only by setting the position of the crown prince as soon as possible can we stabilize the country and stabilize the hearts of the people. You are the emperor's concubine, you should become the crown prince, and the palace will operate secretly, so that the courtiers will support you. ”

"Never!" Li Min refused, his cheeks were full of righteousness, and his words were righteous, "Queen Mother, have you forgotten how the eldest prince was kicked out of the palace?" The most taboo thing for my father is that he has a close relationship with courtiers in private. Erchen has already thought about it, Erchen will not be the prince, and he will not compete for the position of prince. In the future, when the father is not there, what the son wants is to be in place in one step and directly become the son of heaven in the country! ”

"Why is that?" The queen asked puzzled.

Li Min said slowly: "The three heirs of the emperor, if anyone can be qualified for the position of the Son of Heaven, the sons are willing to take a back seat and become the prince of one side." If no one can bear this weight, the retainers will have to disintegrate their power little by little.

started with the little prince in the palace, disintegrated the power of the prime minister and the Jing nobles, and found a way to drive away the little prince. Our opponent is only the eldest prince, and then, the sons and daughters will find a way to trap him in the northwest fiefdom and let him never enter the palace, then there will be only one concubine left in the entire palace.

When the time comes, you can ascend the throne as king without fighting or grabbing! As for the military power in the western suburbs and the border, it is our second step, if someone is not convinced, and someone wants to bully us, we can use our back road and killer weapon, and now is not the time.

Queen Mother, you can rest assured, since the sons have come back safe and sound, they must be full of confidence to take this country. It is enough for you to help your son, my father is in poor health, I believe that the eldest prince should also hear the rumors, and we can't drag it out any longer, we must act quickly and eradicate the enemy as soon as possible.

Prince Wen is a usable talent, and we must make good use of him. There is also Princess Yue who has a high status in the harem and has prestige in the previous dynasty, so she should also make good use of it. When the son becomes the Son of Heaven, he will definitely rule the world well, punish traitors, be sympathetic to the people, be filial to his mother, and become a generation of ancient emperors! ”
