Chapter 378: Negotiation
A group of three people entered the inner room and sat on three sides.
Because she was pregnant, Huai Daochang specially boiled sweet tea.
Since entering the palace, seeing her for the first time, she is a little more beautiful than before, and she has more of a woman's charm.
Huai Daochang asked her: "Between you and the emperor?" β
"Thinking of a snake as a hypocrisy, it's just a joke on the spot, there is no truth or falsehood."
"What about this kid?"
"King Qing's." Speaking of this, Su Lingyu remembered the beginning, "I shouldn't have said that it was the emperor at the beginning." β
The old Taoist put the dust aside and touched the beard on his chin. "I did make a bad move, but it didn't matter."
Su Lingyu looked at the old Taoist chief, saw what the old Taoist was counting, and waited for the old Taoist to put down his hand. Asked, "Is it a female doll?" β
"You have to take the pulse to know the truth or falsehood."
Su Lingyu put her hand over, and the old Taoist took her pulse through her clothes.
It took a long time to see him move, and nodded again and again, "It's diagnosed." β
"Then rest assured." Su Lingyu relaxed.
If it's a boy, there will be a fight for the dragon chair, and if it's a girl, then it's reassuring.
"The emperor will come over every day, and you stay in your own house." Huai Daochang suggested.
"Okay."
Since then, Su Lingyu has lived in the Taoist temple, and his food, clothing, and housing are all in accordance with the best.
She will go out for a walk every day, one to explore the way, and the other to move around more to make herself feel better.
Stepping into May, the vegetation is abundant, and she intentionally or unintentionally sprinkled some spiritual springs in some places to promote vegetation and make them grow better.
That evening, she took the pearl out for a walk.
Before she walked out of the Taoist temple, she heard footsteps, and a grandmother brought someone to her, saying that the queen had invited her to come over for dinner.
"Meals? The Queen Lady invited me? β
What a big heart does the queen mother have, she dares to invite her over for dinner at this time, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?
Even if the queen invited, Su Lingyu didn't dare to go, she was afraid of being killed.
Regardless of whether the queen mother is sincere or fake, she will not go to this banquet.
"You go back and tell the mother, just say that I have used it, so I won't bother the queen."
Mama said politely: "You don't have to worry, Niang Niang will harm you." The lady said that this time I invite you to come and discuss.
Knowing that you won't be coming, Niangniang came here to meet you. β
The queen mother came over in person, and the queen mother was very sincere.
Su Lingyu felt that he could go over and have a look.
Listen to the queen mother, what she wants to talk about.
The queen and the crown prince are one, and they are one with Prime Minister Han Cheng. The funny thing is that these three generations are not of the same mind.
If it was the same mind, there wouldn't be so many things.
Prime Minister Han Cheng first persecuted Xiao Jingxing with the crown prince, and asked Xiao Jingxing to force the palace. and then poisoned the emperor, which had both the intention of helping the prince and the intention of not helping.
I don't know what Prime Minister Han thinks, maybe even the prince doesn't know Prime Minister Han's intentions.
But there is one thing that can be known, if Prime Minister Han Cheng and King Qing do not deal with each other, the two of them will die.
Presumably, this is also the reason why Prime Minister Han Cheng stabbed the emperor into poisoning. If the crown prince ascended the throne in order, there would be nothing to do with Xiao Jingxing here.
In this way, he has the ability to use the prince's hand to eradicate Xiao Jingxing.
There is another point, Su Lingyu can't understand, why did Prime Minister Han have to kill Xiao Jingxing, why did Xiao Jingxing kill Prime Minister Han?
Thinking about it, Su Lingyu went with her grandmother to meet the queen's mother.
The queen is still dignified and beautiful, but she is older, and she seems to have been consumed by something.
Su Lingyu looked at the queen mother, and the queen mother was also looking at her.
"Meet the mother."
"Sit down."
This gazebo can be seen everywhere, and although it gives people a sense of security, it is surrounded by the people of the queen's mother. If the queen wants to do something to her, I'm afraid that no one will testify to her.
The queen mother was the first to speak, "After you entered the palace, I haven't seen you in this palace, I think you are doing well." β
"It's good, it's just not free."
"There are a lot of bad things these days, after the emperor was poisoned, his mood was very bad, and there were frequent changes. Take medicine for a while, and don't take medicine for a while.
After a while, he said that he would let you go to the family in the matter, and then he said that he would not let go. The palace also has no choice but to take the emperor. β
Hearing this, Su Lingyu's heart sank.
She thought that the emperor had released the Su family, but she didn't expect the Su family to still be locked up in prison.
Locked up for more than a month, I don't know what happened to my mother and grandmother.
"The poison on the emperor's body was found out from the wine that Zuo Du paid tribute to. The Queen Mother was furious and wanted to behead the Su family after the autumn, connecting the nine clans. β
The queen looked at Su Lingyu, "You're shocked, didn't anyone tell you about this?" β
The queen understood, "Everyone is hiding it from you, including King Qing." β
"Regardless of whether your blood or fetal basin is a cow to save the emperor, the Su family will be beheaded for public display. This is the decree of the Queen Mother, and this is the price of poisoning the emperor. β
Su Lingyu tried to control herself and calm herself.
She chose to believe Xiao Jingxing, who said that she would launch a coup d'Γ©tat soon.
If you change an emperor and exchange your life for merit, the emperor will definitely agree, and the Su family may not die.
"Hongu knows what you're thinking. You're thinking about King Qing, you're thinking about the impossible. If you want to do the thing in your heart, you must cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince. β
The queen stared at Su Lingyu and said, "What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't cooperate?" What if General Han stood on the opposite side of King Qing? β
"King Qing is brave and strategic, but he is an ant in Kyoto. How can ants bite an elephant? Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the throne has changed, and there have been scenes of blood-stained palace walls. There are many such deeds in the history books.
Many high-ranking people will be scolded by future generations. β
"In this case, there is no need for the prince to destroy his reputation and fulfill you and King Qing."
Su Lingyu's heart fell heavily.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a decision, and he will let the palace give you a choice. If you are willing to take this pill, the Su family can live. If you don't eat it, then it's not just the Su family who will die. β
The queen placed a bottle on the table.
The crown prince has made a decision, he wants to ascend the throne, and he wants to leave a good name.
In order to keep King Qing and unravel the current situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to get rid of the Su family.
If the Su family died, King Qing would not have thought of rebelling against the palace.
If Su died, the emperor's life-saving medicine would be gone. This will greatly blow the emperor and aggravate the emperor's condition.
"Su, you are a smart person, a smart person should know how to do it." After saying that, the queen left first.
Su Lingyu propped one hand on the table and held his forehead with his hand.
The prince is unwilling to cooperate, Xiao Jingxing is unknown, if Xiao Jingxing insists on forcing the palace, then Xiao Jingxing will be killed.
Xiao Jingxing will be the next Prince De, inheriting the crime of Prince De's death, and will become a real traitor.
The attitude of the prince determines the success or failure of the whole incident.
This made Su Lingyu very helpless.
It was as if in the previous life, she solved all the problems and prepared the supply, but the government officials told her that she had changed the supplier.
I'd rather not have a deposit than her goods.
It's not just a lot of money that's lost, it's the whole effort.
Here, the prince was unwilling to cooperate, and the prince pushed the deal, losing not money, but tens of thousands of lives.
