Chapter 263: Borrowing a knife to kill

The queen was even more annoyed, he just didn't understand, why Xuanqing's brain just didn't open up, he couldn't figure out such a simple truth!

"Queen Mother, you don't know your son's minister, I don't know martial arts at all, and I've never been on the battlefield, in such a place where flesh and blood fly, if your son goes, won't he die there! What's more, isn't it a good thing to have good news coming back? Why are you still so angry, Queen Mother! Xuanqing got up and came to the queen's side, looked at her and said with a smile.

The queen was so angry that she held her forehead and said, "No matter how much good news you have and no matter how much credit you have, none of them will be yours!" Your father already favored Mu Liang, if he made great achievements this time, do you think your crown prince position can still be kept? Moreover, I received news that Xuan Yue has made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and his literary talent and martial arts are not inferior to Xuan Lang, in this case, how can I not be in a hurry! ”

Listening to the queen's words, Xuanqing was a little relieved for a while.

"But my father has already made me the crown prince, and I haven't heard of his intention to re-establish the crown prince for so many years. As for the emperor's uncle, he is a blood relative to his father, and his father favors him. That Xuanyue, maybe it's an exaggeration by the people below, but he grew up under your nose under the eyes of the queen mother, don't you know him? ”

Seeing that he still didn't feel half of the crisis, the queen was so angry that she only sighed.

"What a shrewd man your father is, although he has already made you the crown prince, but for so many years he has been secretly observing who is the most suitable person for the position of future prince, and he has never thought of passing on the throne to you! Otherwise, the queen mother wouldn't have planned for you like this all these years! ”

Xuan Qing was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Niangniang, Concubine Gu has come to say goodbye." Mama Hu stepped forward to look at the queen and whispered, and then gave Xuanqing a look and asked him to hurry down. The queen is annoyed now, he can't get anything good here.

The queen tapped her temple and said in annoyance, "Why is she here?" ”

"Said that there was something important to tell the queen." Mama Hu stepped forward to gently massage her.

"Well, let her in."

Gu Qinglai followed the palace maid in, and when she saw the queen's sad face, she stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye." ”

"Why did you enter the palace this time?" The queen asked lightly.

"The mother is sad, and the concubine naturally wants to share it for the mother." Gu Qinglai said with a chuckle.

The queen glanced at her when she heard this, then waved her hand lightly, signaling Mama Hu and the others to go down.

When only the two of them were left in the house, the queen asked, "Do you know what is going on in this palace?" ”

"Now that His Royal Highness King Liang has won many battles on the battlefield, and the five princes have also performed very well, this is not a good thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Qinglai said lightly.

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but look at her twice, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be well-informed. ”

"The concubine wants to share her worries for her mother, and these things are naturally to be known." Gu Qinglai said with a chuckle, she behaved very calmly, even a person like the queen who had experienced intrigue couldn't see that she had any selfish intentions or something wrong.

The queen chuckled and asked, "Then what do you do?" ”

"Niangniang should have heard a saying, heroes come out of troubled times. It's just that in this situation, the hero can only be out of the city. Gu Qinglai stepped forward, looked at the queen and whispered.

The queen was secretly frightened when she heard this, and she didn't think that this Gu Qinglai, who had never been very inconspicuous, still had such ambitions!

She slammed her hand, pinched Gu Qinglai's chin, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Such a big rebellion is enough to make you die a hundred times. ”

Gu Qinglai didn't struggle, and still smiled: "The concubine knows that this is a big rebellion, but if you can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeed in ascending the throne, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

The queen pondered for a moment before letting go of her hand.

"Would you be so kind to help this palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Don't you want Xuan Lang to inherit the unification? The queen asked tentatively, Gu Qinglai was very cunning, she had to be careful.

"How could the queen not know that His Royal Highness, his heart is full of that Gu Jiuge, and he was forced to marry me at the beginning, since he can no longer be my support, then the concubine can only find her own support. After all, good birds choose trees to perch on. Gu Qinglai's words were sincere, and the Pope was a little more convinced.

The queen took a sip of tea, and then asked casually: "Then tell me, what is the way?" ”

"The five princes are not to be afraid for the time being, and the top priority is to get rid of His Royal Highness King Liang as soon as possible. As soon as King Liang died, even if he completely broke His Majesty's thoughts, His Royal Highness the Third Highness would never become a threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as for the Fifth Prince, while he has not yet shown his talent in front of His Majesty, he will find an opportunity to do so. Gu Qinglai said in a deep voice, talking about the life and death of people, she was so calm.

Even the queen was a little surprised.

"It's easy to say, it's not easy to get rid of Mu Liang!"

"Right now is an excellent opportunity, King Liang is on the battlefield, and he can't do anything about the royal city. Niangniang might as well think about it, if someone exposes the collusion between King Liang and the Southern Barbarians of the Western Regions, then what will happen to His Royal Highness King Liang. When the time comes, Niangniang will unite with the people available in the court, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to do it. Gu Qinglai stepped forward and leaned over and whispered in the queen's ear.

The queen frowned and said, "Your Majesty won't believe it easily." ”

"Then don't let Your Majesty meddle in this matter!"

Listening to Gu Qinglai's words, the queen was a little shocked and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"If Your Majesty is in a coma for a few days due to illness at this time, then won't this world be at your disposal? When the time comes, Gu Jiuge will definitely be anxious to take out the so-called evidence, and then Niangniang can take this opportunity to seize the palace, control the Zhao and Gu families, and then cut off the supply of grain, grass and military salaries from the household department, so that if you kill three birds with one stone, His Royal Highness King Liang will definitely die! ”

The queen fell into deep thought when she heard this, and she had to say that Gu Qinglai's method was too risky, but if she wanted to keep Xuanqing's position as the crown prince, this might be the best opportunity.

Otherwise, when Mu Liang returns triumphantly, it will be difficult to do it again.

"If the matter is revealed, won't this palace have to lose his life?" The queen pondered for a long time before asking, is this method too dangerous.

Gu Qinglai tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Niangniang is really confused, why do you need to do such a thing yourself." ”

……

In the afternoon, the sun was very good.

Changle Palace is unusually quiet at the moment.

Mama Hu knocked on the palace door, a little palace maid hurriedly ran to open the door, and when she saw that the person who came was the queen, she was stunned in place, and it took a long time to ease up, and she knelt down and said: "The slave and maid see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old!" ”

"Alright, get up first, where are your masters?" The queen asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the queen, our master is chanting in the Buddhist hall."

"Chanting?" The queen was puzzled: "What kind of sutra does she recite?" ”

The little palace maid said: "Since His Royal Highness was abolished and demoted to the frontier, our mother has been chanting in the Buddhist hall every day, praying for His Highness, hoping that His Highness can be safe and sound." ”

Mama Hu waved her hand and said, "Okay, take the queen to have a look." ”

"Yes!"

In the Buddhist hall, Dong Guifei knelt on the futon in plain clothes, folded her hands in front of her chest, fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hands, her eyes closed, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something.

The queen frowned slightly, turned around and motioned for Mama Hu to go out and guard, then walked over and said softly: "Is this how Sister Dong spends her days?" ”

Suddenly hearing the queen's voice, Dong Guifei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then got up and said, "Why is the queen here?" ”

"Come and sit down, this palace has something important to tell you." The queen beckoned to her, and her face was very eager.

Although Dong Guifei was suspicious in her heart, she still walked over and said, "I don't know what the queen is doing here?" ”

"Sister Dong, although Bengong knows that this blow is very big, but Bengong is also a mother, so I must tell you." The queen took Dong Guifei's hand and made a sad look.

Concubine Dong was confused when she heard this, but she faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, and asked: "What is the matter with the queen mother, just say it." ”

"The palace also got the news this morning that Xuanfeng's child died at the border."

"Smack!" With a bang, the Buddhist beads in Dong Guifei's hands rolled all over the ground, she was speechless in shock, and just looked at the queen with her mouth open.

"How is that possible!" She jerked to her feet, grabbed the queen's shoulders and yelled.

The queen held her hand and said sadly: "There was a war in the border pass, I heard that Feng'er wanted to go to Yancheng to join King Liang, but who knew that King Liang refused to open the city gate, and in the end, Feng'er died under the enemy's sword." ”

Dong Guifei fell to the ground weakly, Xuan Feng is her only child, even if she can't achieve her hope, then she also hopes that Xuan Feng can live safely, but now......

"Ahh Dong Guifei suddenly got up from the ground, swept all the things on the altar to the ground, she held the jade Buddha statue, and roared: "I cry and beg you every day, why don't you want to keep my son safe!" ”

With that, he slammed the jade Buddha to the ground, and the jade Buddha suddenly shattered into countless pieces.

Seeing this, the queen stepped forward and pretended to comfort: "It's not to blame the gods and Buddhas for this matter, the palace just feels sorry for Feng'er's child, if His Royal Highness King Liang ordered the city gate to be opened at that time, Feng'er would not have died innocently." ”

She sighed lightly, wiped the unwarranted tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly: "Actually, speaking of which, Feng'er is also pitiful, first made like that by the prince, a pampered prince, but in the end he was reduced to the frontier of distribution, even so, the prince still refused to let him go, and he was willing to take his life before he was willing to give up!" ”
