Chapter 37: Selling Personal Favors

"I heard that the queen mother recently investigated an old eunuch who disappeared more than ten years ago, I don't know if you have eyebrows? The younger brother thought that it was always inconvenient for the mother to be in the palace, and the prince was stared at by the seventh brother, so it was better to hand over this matter to the younger brother to investigate. The fourth prince put the tea cup on the red sandalwood table and said tentatively.

"The prince also proposed to the queen mother, but the queen mother refused, and she wanted to investigate it herself."

The prince entered the palace the day before yesterday to ask for peace, and saw that the queen mother was at a loss for what she had investigated, although his mother was resourceful and did not let her eyebrows, but she was in the harem, and the whip was out of reach. He proposed that the fourth prince investigate the matter, but the queen mother showed an unusually vigilant attitude, saying that this matter should not be faked by others.

"Oh, the younger brother just wants to do his best for the mother and the prince, after all, only the mother and the prince are good, and the mother and the princess can be good."

The fourth prince still has that smile on the corner of his mouth, with a well-behaved and contented demeanor.

"Your intentions, the crown prince naturally understands. But the queen mother is a strong person, she refuses and no one can force it. ”

The two brothers talked for a while, and the prince was anxious to toss and turn last night, but now he is generally relieved, and he feels sleepy, and the fourth prince also said goodbye.

The fourth prince and Gu Changlin left the prince's mansion, and Ma Tong was already waiting in front of the mansion with the horse, and the two stepped on the horse's back and did not go back to the mansion directly, but slowly wandered around the market.

It was the end of June, and it was noon, but there were many vendors on the street. They conscientiously guarded the stall in front of them, and they couldn't earn a few taels of silver a year. But they still insisted on the summer day, just for the sake of a full meal for their wives and children.

Compared with them, the fourth prince Xuanyuan Mao is undoubtedly lucky, but it is unlucky.

The fourth prince got off the horse and bought a bag of candy, and gave it to a group of children who were playing with a smile. The children happily circled around him a few times before they dispersed. He got back on his horse and went on.

Gu Changlin knew that the more leisurely the prince was, the more he explained that he had something on his mind, and he said: "Prince, the queen mother has covered this matter very tightly, Concubine Hui is so smart that she can't find out the inside story, and the prince can't hand it over to the prince to investigate, what should I do?" ”

"The queen mother is naturally not as brave and resourceless as the prince, otherwise she will not be able to control the harem for many years. Even my mother had to be careful and walk on thin ice to keep our mother and son alive. ”

"It's really not easy for Concubine Hui, otherwise so many princes wouldn't have died, but you have the power you have today."

The queen's mother's family is prosperous, and her father is the former Shoufu Lord, although he has passed away, he has left her a lot of henchmen, and there are several brothers in high positions to support. It's a pity that the queen mother can't have children after she gives birth to the prince, so she excludes dissidents in the harem, and she has a posture that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die. If it weren't for Concubine Hui's wisdom and forbearance, the fourth prince would have been gone a long time ago.

The fourth prince said: "The queen mother doesn't let this king check, then my king sells the seventh brother for a favor." He should have wanted to know more about the situation. ”

He believed that what the queen wanted to investigate, he wanted to know, and his seventh brother must also want to know. If it is beneficial to the queen's mother, the seventh will bother to get rid of it; If it is harmful to the queen's mother, the seventh child will also find ways to make it public, and he will naturally know about it at that time.

Lao Qi is different from him, he is still dormant next to the prince, and the mother is still pinched in the hands of the queen. If he goes to investigate secretly, once the news leaks out, it will definitely affect his mother, but his seventh brother is different, and there is nothing to restrain him.

"What does the prince mean......" Gu Changlin knew it in his chest.

"It's going to be done."

"My subordinates understand."

The two of them had left the bustling street and walked onto a wide official road. With a whip of the horse, the two horses galloped into the distance.
