Xiao Qiming stood in the second gate, waiting for the summons of the Queen Mother. According to the ceremony, it was not his turn to do so, but the emperor suddenly fell ill and fell unconscious, and the three books and six courtyards were all guarding for fear of a case. The queen took the opportunity to control the harem, implying that the eldest prince was the heir to the throne, and the queen mother must summon someone from the Ministry of Rites to ask about the position of the crown prince.

It didn't take long for the father-in-law of Inner Eun Hai to come out all the way and invite him in.

In addition to Song Ye, the chief leader of the forbidden queen in the hall, there was also Imperial Doctor Lu from the Tai Hospital, who also replied in the hall.

Xiao Qiming saw the ceremony, and the Queen Mother's first sentence was completely unexpected by him, and he hurriedly replied: "Regarding the position of the crown prince, the emperor did not leave an edict, nor did he mention passing the throne to the ....... Xiao Qiming didn't dare to say the latter words, now there is only one eldest prince under the emperor's name, and as for the unborn child in the belly of the harem concubine, it is not clear whether it is a man or a woman, and what inheritance is there to talk about.

"From today on, you have to put the position of 10,000 people in prison for the mourning family, the emperor will not wake up for a day, and no one will be at ease with the mourning family." The Queen Mother's complexion was not very good, so Song Ye lowered her hand and agreed.

Xiao Qiming wanted to persuade, this throne is none other than the eldest prince, is it possible that who can still emerge a prince out of thin air? !

"The Yang family's hand is too long, and he should know that there is no room for outsiders to interfere in royal affairs. The position of the crown prince, the emperor said that whoever inherits will inherit it......" The queen mother didn't finish her words, she suddenly paused, stopped for a long time, and then looked at Xiao Qiming, and then said: "Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know the calculations of your Ministry of Rites, the emperor is not a child of the eldest prince, although they are all the emperor's flesh and blood, but the eldest prince is indecisive, and everything depends on his mother's face...... Cough...... Ahem......"

"The Queen Mother ...... Anger"

Xiao Qiming hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, but he pondered the words of the Queen Mother in his heart, is the emperor a child of the eldest prince? Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to ......, but even if he is born a boy, he can still listen to politics immediately? ! was thinking wildly, only to hear the queen mother's order to retreat, and just retreated to the door, the queen mother's voice came from the hall: "That child has suffered a lot with his mother, and Commander Song must protect the safety of their mother and son......"

Xiao Qiming was shocked when he heard this, and went straight to find the book of the Ministry of Rites.

……

It was almost evening, Sun Xiaoyun took the two girls and went to her husband's study with a cup of chicken soup, but she didn't want to be stopped by her entourage Li Xia, stood under the eaves, listened carefully to the sound of the conversation between the two men in the house, pursed her lips, turned around and left.

"Madam, why don't we go to the small bamboo forest and wait, maybe the master will be busy in a while." Yahuan Cuilian carefully looked at the heroine's expression.

Sun Xiaoyun glanced at her and snorted, "Fool with no eyesight, don't hurry up and find a way to find out what's going on in the house." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but twist Cuilian's arm fiercely, and glanced at her henchman Cuiwei before brushing her sleeves and leaving.

Cuilian was in pain, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she tried her best to endure it, and was about to retreat to investigate. Cuiwei looked slightly proud in her heart, and when she saw that she was leaving, she quietly stretched out her leg and stumbled, and Cuilian pounced on the dog with a "yay" in her mouth.

"Ah, Sister Cuilian, you said that you are such a big person, and it is not easy to walk and look at the road." After speaking, he glanced at Li Xia and said with a charming smile: "Brother Li, I still have something in my hand, can I trouble you to come over and help me." ”

Li Xia frowned, seeing that the person was still on the ground, it could be seen that the fall was severe, thinking about stretching out his hand, nodded his head, and stepped forward to help the person up.

"Hey, Sister Cuilian, your skirt is stained with blood, so you won't break your legs." Cuiwei exclaimed in a fuss.

Cuilian was quite under her pressure, and didn't dare to squeak, so she could only cooperate with her, moaning and moaning in pain.

Li Xia glanced at it, and it was true, the blood stained by the long cyan skirt at the knee was particularly eye-catching.

"Brother Li, you are a good person to the end, it is better to carry Sister Cuilian back to Qianxi Residence for me, anyway, there is no one at this time, I will guard it for you here first, and never let outsiders break in." Cuiwei threw her eyes and said delicately.

Li Xia, an older young man, could stand this, and was stunned, looking at Cuilian and looking at him with a blank eye. After glancing left and right, seeing that there was no one around, and his head was dizzy, he agreed.

Cuiwei watched the people walk away, and hurriedly hid at the door to eavesdrop.

"Uncle, my nephew doesn't agree with what you just said, and it's even more impossible to divorce your wife. Confucius once said: kings, ministers, fathers, sons. It means that the king should be like a king, a minister should be like a minister, a father should be like a father, and a son should be like a son. As for the throne, I believe that the emperor will be able to bless the sky. In the matter of establishing a reserve, our Xiao family must not participate. Xiao Qiming said righteously.

Xiao Shilang sighed a few times, shook his head and said: "The eldest husband has to understand the current situation when doing things, and he has to know where the wind is blowing, so that he can have a foothold in the court by following the trend." Now who is not the grass on the wall in the court, looking at the face of the Yang family, Queen Yang and Concubine Sun Shufei have always been at odds, and you married Concubine Shu's sister, what future will you have in the future? If you are so stubborn, I think you should rest at home while you are sick. As for the divorce of his wife, I will consult with your mother. ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to call the illness now, and the Queen Mother has already sent her nephew to keep an eye on it." Under the desk, Xiao Qiming's hands were clasped tightly, and he said with a serious face.

Xiao Shilang's eyes widened, and he was angry, "Such a big matter, why don't you make your own decisions without consulting with me, if you want to serve the Queen Mother, you also have to analyze and analyze the pros and cons, do you also want to wait for the Queen Mother to say that the emperor can't listen to the government?" ”

"Uncle is cautious! If the emperor wants to appoint the eldest prince as the prince, why wait until now? Have you ever wondered what if there was less than one prince? You take refuge in the Yang family at this time, in case the Yang family loses, wouldn't it be a joke at that time?! ”

Xiao Shilang's frightened face was deformed, and he raised his index finger to the ground and pointed at him tremblingly, and said, "You say it again?!" What does it mean that there is less than one prince? What did you hear? ”

Xiao Qiming sighed and repeated what he heard in Cining Palace during the day. "Although the nephew has no conclusive evidence, he heard with his own ears that the Queen Mother sent Song Commander to protect the safety of their mother and son, so it can be seen that there should be someone else."

Xiao Shilang stared at his eyes, sighed for a while, "That's it, since the Queen Mother values you, you are so good to obey the dispatch." However, you can't afford not to agree to the divorce of your wife. ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was too tough, hurting the relationship between his uncle and nephew, sighed deeply, and said euphemistically: "I also complained about letting you marry the daughter of the Sun family at the beginning, if it weren't for the pressure of Concubine Shu and the face of the second prince, I wouldn't agree to this family business." Now that the second prince is long gone, the Sun family can't see it. I remember that you had a favorite candidate back then, if you divorced your granddaughter, I would never participate in your marriage again, how about it?! ”

Cuiwei outside the door was frightened when she heard this, her hand shook, and she almost slipped out of the tray in her hand, if the old man really divorced his wife and married another, he was originally a girl from the Sun family who married him, and he would have a good life in the future? Thinking of this, he still had the heart to wait for Li Xia to come back, so he ran to Qianxi Residence.
