It was already the middle of the night.

Inside Xiangrui Xuan. But the concubine did not rest.

Li Ji has been sent back to the house safely. But the fright can be imagined!

Subsequently. Zhu Gaozhi has arrived. He thought it was too strange.

"Zhi'er. You're here so late to send someone out of the city tonight." Concubine Shu seems to have expected that the prince will definitely come back to ask what happened.

"yes. Mother. The child thinks it's strange."

"Didn't you see who was in the carriage?" Concubine Shu smiled faintly.

"All the boy knows is that there's Li Ji in it. Zhang Huwei said that he was a relative who escorted Li Ji overnight and contracted a cold provincial relative. said that Lang Zhong in the house was helpless." Zhu Gaozhi told Concubine Shu about this without suspicion. At that time, the child did hear the voice of Li Ji coming from the carriage. She didn't deny it. After all, she is the wife of her father. It's disrespectful for me to rush to check it out. So let it go."

"Zhi'er is really smart. It was immediately clear that something was wrong. Also. Do you know who the people are in there?" Concubine Shu asked without changing her face.

Zhu Gaozhi raised his eyebrows, "Mother. Who else but Li Ji."

Concubine Shu slowly spit out a sentence: "Concubine An."

Sure enough, Zhu Gaozhi was very surprised when he heard it. Since it is Concubine An's departure. It can be above board. Why hide it like that? And the mother also let Zhang guard. Steward Qin. and Li Ji accompanied. At the end of the day, the guard didn't tell the truth. Today, I haven't lifted the curtain to see what's going on inside. If you read it. This guard is not afraid to bear the sin of deception.

Why did that Li Ji also cooperate with Zhang's guards? But there was a tremor in her voice mixed with fear. Xu is not willing to say so. Haven't she and Concubine An always been bitter enemies? A series of questions swirled rapidly in Zhu Gaozhi's mind.

"How could it be Concubine An." Zhu Gaozhi was puzzled.

Concubine Shu's unwavering face rippled after a shallow smile. Zhu Gaozhi couldn't see the meaning behind his mother's smile.

"She is guilty today. And Li Ji is exactly the hostage she has taken."

"Something happened. How could this Concubine An become a sinner?" Zhu Gaozhi became more and more curious.

Concubine Shu carefully told Zhu Gaozhi what had happened in the past few days.

Zhu Gaozhi is very shrewd. After listening, I have guessed the truth and found out that it is not far from ten.

"Mother. I'm afraid that this Concubine An was framed." Zhu Gaozhi said.

"Zhi'er is really shrewd. You can't hide anything." Concubine Shu exclaimed.

"Then I'm afraid my mother already knows who the mastermind behind this matter is. But the mother is just not a little broken. If it's wrong, it's wrong." Zhu Gaozhi smiled.

Concubine Shu stared at Zhu Gaozhi's face for a moment. Said slowly: "Can't you even hide this?"

Zhu Gaozhi also smiled in response. Mom did the right thing. In this palace you have to make use of everything you can. Including jealousy and hatred between people. Affection. Take advantage of the framing between them. They're all in a mess. Mother, you sit on the side and watch the tiger fight. Strike when necessary. There are also rules for making a shot. See how you can please your father's heart."

Concubine Shu looked at Zhu Gaozhi in surprise. She didn't expect that there were such meticulous and terrible thoughts hidden beneath his seemingly honest and calm exterior." Why did you say that?"

"Mother. Zhi'er just told the truth. That's the only way. Your position as a concubine can sit firmly."

Concubine Shu was silent. But agree.

"Still. Let's be honest. Zhi'er watched them fight around. Harm comes and goes. In the end, it is your father's son who will be hurt. Mother, I'm a little unbearable." Concubine Shu is also a woman. Think about this Mrs. Ning's two slippery tires. I still feel a little unbearable.

"Mother. Want to make a career. You have to be ruthless. Haven't all dynasties been like this? Father and son killed. There are many cases of sibling killing." Zhu Gaozhi said that the clouds are light and the wind is light. It seems to him that . These things are normal, right?

Concubine Shu was stunned. Zhi'er. How could you think that. Would he be the day if there is a conflict of interest between you and your brother. Won't you be soft on your brother?"

Zhu Gaozhi realized that his words had caused panic among his mother. Quickly explained: "How could that be. Cozy Son, I'm definitely not like that. After all, we are one mother. It's a concubine. It's different in the eyes of a child." A cold look flashed in Zhu Gaozhi's eyes. This look was so abrupt on his seemingly friendly chubby face.

"Banner." Concubine Shu didn't know if she was frightened by the coldness in his eyes or what. He whispered.

Zhu Gaozhi knew that his words caused a lot of ripples in his mother's heart. With a solemn expression, he told his mother a fact: "Mother. You may not know. A few years ago, I met a monk. And this high monk also has a certain origin with his father."

Zhu Gaozhi's words naturally aroused the great curiosity of Concubine Shu.

"Oh. Tell me about it."

"My mother doesn't know. This high monk is called Daoyan. It was the emperor's grandfather who gave his father a lecture and recommended blessings at that time. He is a monk who gets it. In the past few years, it has been well hidden by my father. Until three years ago, the child and his father went to the temple to make incense. Overheard this conversation between the monk and the father. Mother, do you know? This monk actually said that in a few years, the country will change hands. And the father is the ruler of the country. In other words, the father is the true son of destiny." Zhu Gaozhi told his mother and concubine everything he heard seriously.

Concubine Shu couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after hearing this. Quickly and vigilantly looked around. Go and cover Zhu Gaozhi's mouth." Child. The child will not dare to say anything more about this great rebellion." Concubine Shu was a little scared.

Zhu Gaozhi removed Concubine Shu's hand. Mother-in-law doesn't need to be so alarmed. This is why the child should be ruthless when the mother should be ruthless. After all, if one day my father becomes emperor. Mother, you should be the queen no matter what. No one else thinks."

Oh, yes. The child Zhu Gaozhi's words made Concubine Shu ponder. Is this true. Will this Ming dynasty be the king of Yan in the future? That is now the crown prince.

I saw my mother's contemplation. Zhu Gaozhi hurriedly comforted: "My mother doesn't have to be burdened by this. Everything is providential. Don't forget, mother. You've always had children around you to take care of your worries."

"But Banner. For the sake of this so-called eminent monk who does not know when it will become a reality or whether it will become a fact. Let the ladies of this house destroy the sons of your father's king. Isn't that a bit excessive?" Concubine Shu felt a little scared again.

Zhu Gaozhi smiled undeniably. Mother's sentence is still the same. You must keep your position as a concubine and not waver. Do you know when this Mrs. Ning first entered the mansion. Her father doted on her like that. On the days of the child's wedding. Why the fetus in her womb is not safe. Truth be told. Mother. That's what a child does. The wife who is spoiled by the father and the king. The second concubine is no more. Everyone wants to give birth to an heir. That Ruifei is just a fish that slipped through the net. At that time, it was because the child was still young. That's why she gave birth to a child."

Concubine Lady's heart thumped. It turned out that Mrs. Qinning's slippery tire in the past two years was not an accident but deliberate. And it's made by Zhi'er.

"Zhi'er. You've been hiding it deep enough. Even my mother doesn't know." Concubine Shu had to re-examine her son. His city is not ordinarily deep.

"Mother. The child just doesn't want to burden your heart. There are some things that are inconvenient for mothers to do. The child can do it for you. Like tonight." Zhu Gaozhi paused deliberately.

"What's wrong tonight." Concubine Shu asked.

"Does Concubine An think she will be able to escape tonight. The children were long after they went out of the city. So he sent men to follow him secretly. Presumably, their whereabouts after leaving the city have been well known to the people sent by the child. In fact, as long as the mother kisses a word. This concubine's life. The child will still be able to do so before his father returns. Solve it."

Concubine Shu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looks like this guy has a bit of a brain.

But what about this Concubine An. Let Zhi'er solve it. If one day this prince returns. Find out the truth of the matter. It will be blamed on Zhi'er. This is extremely detrimental to the paternity between them. This is the man his father values most at the moment. He can't be wasted. But if you don't kill Concubine An. It's also a return to the mountain! This prince's doting on Concubine An is not ordinary.

I saw Concubine Shu's hesitation. Zhu Gaozhi probably knew what his mother was thinking. After all, the mother shirked the matter of interrogating Concubine An this time. I just don't want to be too involved in Concubine An's affairs. I am afraid that I will be blamed by the prince for this in the future. It is not an easy task to maintain the image of a virtuous helper in front of the prince. Just a little careless. It will be ruined in an instant.

When the time comes. If it's really like what Zhi'er said. King Yan is the emperor one day. Then if you have a discord with the prince. So isn't this queen's position just a handover. Cheaper for others.

The concubine also has the consideration of the concubine. Sometimes things should be done and sometimes they should be done. But when it's time to leave room for it, you still have to keep it.

"Zhi'er. It's better not to act rashly just yet." Concubine Shu hesitated.

Zhu Gaozhi smiled. The child knows that his mother has his mother's considerations. In fact, if this Concubine An was interrogated by Li Ji in the mansion this time, she was executed. The mother is also in a leisurely place. After all, it can be regarded as borrowing a knife to kill people. But I was escaped by this Concubine An! But mother. You are also a non-man. That Li Ji is just a mindless woman. But that's fine. This concubine is alive. In the future, he will be brought back by his father. When the time comes, her father will find out. Na Ruifei. LI Ji. The Han American group is inevitably involved. Leave a concubine behind. Can handle so many people. Dead a concubine. You can save this group of people. It's as simple as that. So it's good to keep her alive for the time being." Zhu Gaozhi smiled coldly.
