"What does the second imperial brother mean, but let the emperor give his father's permission to let the imperial brother go and investigate the case of the second young lady poisoning and killing her mouth?" Shangguan Jiuxiao's thoughtful gaze fell on Shangguan Hanyue and said, "Who in the palace doesn't know that the second emperor brother and the ninth sister, the brother and sister have a very strong relationship, even if it is for the personal relationship between the ninth sister and the second miss, the second emperor brother dares to avoid suspicion." ”

"The Fifth Emperor Brother feels that the Second Emperor Brother must avoid suspicion, so who else is suitable to go and find out the unjust case of the Second Miss?"

After Shangguan Jiuxiao glanced at Shangguan Yunxin, he already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shangshou and said: "I also asked my father to allow my son to go and investigate the case of the second lady's demon poisoning, the son and the second miss have no personal relationship, and they will definitely investigate the case impartially, and they will definitely not seek personal gain." ”

"Although the fifth emperor brother has no personal relationship with the second miss, the last time he had a dispute with the second miss in the imperial grandmother's Shoukang Palace because of the matter of Su Xin, it is something that everyone in the palace knows." Shangguan Yunxin naturally didn't want Shangguan Jiuxiao to interfere in Ning Zhiyun's case, so he tried his best to stop it, "Even if the Fifth Emperor Brother thinks that he is acting upright, but in the end, it is terrifying, and Xin'er thinks that the Fifth Emperor Brother should also avoid suspicion." ”

Shangguan Jiuxiao heard Shangguan Yunxin's reasonable words, he was more angry but more surprised, he had never thought that Shangguan Yunxin was an ignorant person, but he didn't expect that she also had a smart side, and she was very clumsy.

"Prince Yu wants to avoid suspicion because of the ninth prince, and King Anjun also wants to avoid suspicion because he had a dispute with the second lady." The imperial concubine saw that Shangguan Yunxin and Shangguan Jiuxiao were pinched together, so she changed the topic and said, "Who among the princes is suitable to investigate this case?" ”

"According to what Erchen sees, why don't you let the third emperor brother investigate this case?" Shangguan Hanyue saw that everyone was deadlocked over the selection of people to investigate the case, so he took the initiative to propose Shangguan Yunya, the king of Gongjun.

"Now that the third princess has just given birth to a little son, it is the time when the family is sharing the family, it is not good to ask King Gongjun to get involved in this unlucky thing." The first thing the imperial concubine was to reject Shangguan Hanyue's proposal.

"The Four Emperor Brothers have always been modest, and they are very popular in the palace, so it is better to leave this matter to the Four Emperor Brothers." Shangguan Yunxin proposed Shangguan Lichu, the fourth prince who had no quarrel with the world on weekdays and never made enemies.

"The Fourth Emperor Brother is indeed an indisputable character, and he will not lose his fairness, but in the end, his majesty is insufficient, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to do things at that time." Shangguan Jiuxiao had selfish intentions to prevent Shangguan Li Chu from investigating the case, how could he allow a prince like him to cross him.

"This one should be avoided, and that one is not suitable." Shangguan Yunxin looked at Shangguan Jiuxiao with some anger and said, "Now there are only the eldest brother and the elder brother Fengming left among the princes?" ”

"Father, the eldest brother is the eldest son, although he is married to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone knows that the eldest lady and the second lady have never been on good terms, and the eldest brother is the best person to find out about this case." Now in addition to Shangguan Qingqiao is Shangguan Fengming, Shangguan Jiuxiao naturally wants to snatch the opportunity into his own hands.

"Then Prince Heng will be responsible for investigating the case of the second girl in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." Emperor Qi finally decided to settle Shangguan Qingqiao to investigate Ning Zhixuan's case.

Shangguan Yunxin knew in his heart that Shangguan Qingqiao and Shangguan Jiuxiao were in the same group, and was about to speak out to stop him, but Shangguan Hanyue cut off the words: "Since my father has already decided on the candidate to investigate the case, the sons and daughters will not dare to have any objections." The retainers did not dare to disturb the peace of the imperial grandmother, and the retainers retired. ”

"The son also retired." Shangguan Jiuxiao saw that Ning Zhixuan fell into the hands of Shangguan Qingyu, and he was in a good mood, so he took advantage of the situation and retired with Shangguan Hanyue.

Shangguan Yunxin saw that everyone was saying goodbye, so he reluctantly blessed the head and said: "Father, the imperial concubine, Xin'er has also retired." ”

After the princes and princesses withdrew from Shoukang Palace, the imperial concubine looked at Emperor Qi and asked earnestly: "The emperor has been tired for a long time, and the concubine's palace stewed the emperor's favorite lily lotus seed soup, does the emperor want to go and use some, and then ......?"

"I want to go back to the Liufang Palace of the noble people." After Emperor Qi finished speaking, he got up and walked outside, "The imperial concubine should also go back to her Changchun Palace, so as not to disturb the peace of the queen mother." ”

There were faint traces of fragmentation on the imperial concubine's disguised excellent face, but she still tried her best to maintain a dignified posture and said: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Aunt Feng was beside the beaded curtain in the inner room, and saw that the imperial concubine was walking away, so she turned around and entered the inner room and said to the queen mother leaning on the soft collapse: "The emperor and the imperial concubine have left. Aunt Feng paused and said, "The emperor did not go to the Changchun Palace of the imperial concubine, but went back to the Liufang Palace of the noble people. ”

"Couples who are envious of each other on the outside, respect each other, and respect each other, but there is a knot in their hearts inside." The Empress Dowager's thumb was heavily twisted on a round Buddha bead, "The cause and effect of the world are determined, and since the original cause is planted, don't blame it for bearing today's fruit." ”

"The Queen Mother said very well, plant evil causes, get evil results, this is also the retribution of the imperial concubine for killing Concubine Rong back then." Aunt Feng was comforting her by the Queen Mother's words, but she didn't want the Queen Mother to hear Aunt Feng's words, and the Buddha beads in her hand fell to the ground.

"Damn it, old slave! Damn the old slave! Aunt Feng looked at the Buddha beads that had been scattered all over the ground due to the anger of the Queen Mother, and she was already so frightened that she was prostrate on the ground and kept saying damn it.

You must know that Concubine Rong is a taboo for the entire royal family, and no one has ever dared to mention it on weekdays, but today Aunt Feng broke her promise and angered the Queen Mother, so she was naturally so frightened that she kowtowed to the guilt.

The Queen Mother seemed to be touched, and sat on the couch for a long time without saying a word, and Aunt Feng even fell to the ground, not even daring to breathe.

After a long time, the Queen Mother finally had a slight reaction, looked at the void and said: "If Rong'er is still alive, if the grandson of the mourning family is still alive, he should be one year older than the queen's Han'er." ”

Aunt Feng saw tears in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes, but she didn't dare to answer casually, but blindly comforted the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother should pay attention to her body, don't be too sad, take care of her body." ”

"If the grandson of the mourning family is still there, now Rong'er must have been canonized as the queen by the emperor, so that he will become the prince of the Great Zhou, and the prince of the emperor's love, where is there anything about the son of the imperial concubine!" The Queen Mother has always been kind, especially to the grandchildren of several princes, but now when she mentions Shangguan Qingyu, there is a flash of fierceness in her eyes.

"Since ancient times, there has been a clear distinction between the dignity and the inferiority, even if the imperial concubine gave birth to the eldest son, but it is not as good as the second prince of the queen's mother." Aunt Feng knew that the Queen Mother valued the most respectful and orthodox, so she dared to follow her words and continued, "Now it seems that the emperor does favor Prince Yu a little, and the importance of Prince Heng is more to appease the Xiao family. ”

"Han'er is indeed a good child, inheriting the innocence of her mother's nature." The Queen Mother listened to Aunt Feng's words of relief, her face was a little pale, but she still couldn't help but say with some regret, "Han'er is a concubine, and she is a good child, but she has always ......."

Although the Queen Mother's words were not exhausted, Aunt Feng knew that the Queen Mother meant that although Shangguan Hanyue was the concubine of the Middle Palace, she was also quite favored by the Queen Mother, but she was not Concubine Rong's child after all, so it can be seen that the Queen Mother still values Concubine Rong the most.

"The queen mother, the queen is pure-hearted, and her mother's family is just a rich businessman in Suzhou, Jiangnan." Aunt Feng looked at the Queen Mother's face and said, "The most important thing is that the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong are cousins, and their relationship has always been good. ”

Because Concubine Rong is a taboo in the palace, few people know that the current queen and Concubine Rong are cousins, and the relationship is very good, which is why the queen mother finally agreed to the lowly Wen Qingluan to enter the queen's position.

"It's also a creation that makes people, Rong'er has always been above the top, but only Qing'er has a good relationship, even closer than her sisters." The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little sad when she mentioned Concubine Rong, and in a blink of an eye, she was already in tears.

"Queen Mother, the queen mother can be like a sister with Concubine Rong, and it is also her creation." Aunt Feng continued to comfort the Queen Mother, "Although the Empress Mother has gone to Lingyun Temple in Fengming Mountain to study Buddhism, it has preserved Prince Yu to grow up safely. Aunt Feng looked at the queen mother's face and softened a little, so she continued to persuade: "Now among the many princes, Prince Yu can be said to be the most top-notch, and the emperor also values him very much, and he is the queen's concubine. ”

Although Aunt Feng's words were not thorough, the Queen Mother understood what she meant, Shangguan Hanyue was outstanding among the princes, and with the full support of the Liuyun County Lord of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she might not lose to Shangguan Qingyu who was supported by the Xiao family in the inheritance of the unification in the future.

"Is it all done?" The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed her sadness, and asked with a high spirit, "Don't show the news before the dust settles, it's time for Han'er to choose a concubine." ”

"It's already been arranged." Aunt Feng lowered her head and replied, but there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

"Say what you have, and there is anything to hide in front of the mourning family." The Queen Mother knew at a glance that Aunt Feng was hiding her heart.

Aunt Feng saw that the Queen Mother valued herself so much, and she didn't know how to lift herself, so she said the worries in her heart and said: "If you want to say that Prince Yu is good in everything, that is, in the affairs of his children, I am afraid that he is better than the emperor." ”

"You mean that second girl from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"For the sake of the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, the prince almost tore his face with the imperial concubine at the chrysanthemum banquet, and finally almost died in the fire." Aunt Feng had been closely watching the movements at the chrysanthemum banquet, and she knew how much trouble Shangguan Hanyue had made for Ning Zhiyun.
