If the two really confront the old emperor, I'm afraid he will really choose to believe Su Jin.

"Queen, you don't have to be angry, all you care about is your status and face, and I won't encroach on you." Su Jin smiled, reached out and touched the Buddha beads on the side and played with them in his hand, squinted at the front and said, "What I want is just to ruin Su Wan's family." ”

The queen's heart jumped, her biological son the crown prince died, and Xiao Mochen's imminent succession to the throne was a foregone conclusion, but how could she be willing?

"Queen, as long as Xiao Mochen falls, the three princes will have a glimmer of life." Su Jin's smile became brighter, and she raised her eyebrows and said.

"According to the ancestral system of the empire, the third prince should be the best candidate for the next crown prince, queen, are you willing to let others take this advantage for nothing?" Su Jin maintained an elegant posture and asked slightly sideways.

Although the queen is the wife of the old emperor, since Concubine Lu Shu was killed by the queen, the queen has been separated for more than many years, and there is no love as before. Therefore, the two only had two sons, the former crown prince and the third prince.

All along, the queen has pressed all her expectations on the crown prince, and has never paid attention to the third prince, and now, this son she has never looked down on, but has become all her hopes.

"What do you mean by that?" Although the queen's heart moved, she still held a high shelf, looked at Su Jin coldly and said: "The establishment of the crown prince is all up to Your Majesty alone, where can you tolerate the beak of the harem?" ”

Even if the empress has the heart to recommend her own son, as long as the old emperor does not personally ask her opinion, she is completely unqualified to speak, which is the shackles of etiquette.

Su Jin sneered, pretended to carelessly straighten out the hem of his skirt, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty is terminally ill, and the days are numbered, but the queen's blessings are still inexhaustible, shouldn't you plan for yourself as soon as possible?" ”

The queen retreated from everyone, originally planning to take the opportunity to stand up to Su Jin and beat her verbally, so that she would not get carried away. Unexpectedly, she was now completely led by Su Jin's nose, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The queen was about to lose her patience and asked impatiently.

"Queen, you have a kindness to me, of course I will think about repaying the kindness." Su Jin raised a harmless smile, blinked his eyes and said, "At the beginning, if you hadn't taken me out of the cold palace and sent me to Your Majesty, how could I have a chance to turn over?" ”

Speaking of which, the queen couldn't wait to go back to the past and slap herself twice. She originally wanted to use Su Jin's favor to balance Xiao Mochen's position, but she didn't expect it to backfire and end up losing her wife and losing her soldiers.

Seeing the queen's expression of suffering, Su Jin's smile became even more pleasant, and she shook her head and said, "In order to repay the favor, the best way I can think of is to send your third prince to the throne." ”

"Would you be that kind?" The queen had already seen that Su Jin was not an idle person as she seemed to be, so she instantly became suspicious, frowned and said, "What position do you take to assist the third prince in his success?" ”

Of course, Su Jin would not directly say the bad relationship between her and the third prince, but smiled faintly and said matter-of-factly: "Your Majesty's life is dying, and the concubines in the palace should be in danger." I'm still so young that I don't want to talk with His Majesty for the rest of my life. ”

According to the legal system of the empire, once the former emperor died, all concubines except the biological mother of the new emperor must leave the imperial city. Those who have given birth to children will cut their hair and become nuns, and the ancient Buddha of the green lantern will accompany them for a lifetime; And those who have no children must accompany the first emperor to be buried and stay in the dry bone grotto.

What Su Jin said was indeed reasonable, and when the queen saw that her face didn't look like she was lying, she also lowered her heart slightly, and said with a sneer: "Things with sharp teeth and sharp mouths are so greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"Eh, I'm afraid the queen is wrong." Su Jin pretended to suddenly remember something, and said with a surprised face: "If I'm not mistaken, after King Chen's biological mother died, he was adopted by Concubine De, right?" Once King Chen succeeds to the throne, Concubine De is the justifiable queen mother! ”

The queen's legs went limp, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down her head. Su Jin is right, if Xiao Mochen ascends the throne as she wishes, then she can't even keep the status of the queen mother, she must cut her hair and become a nun, and end her life in misery.

Thinking of this, the queen was already in a cold sweat in the blue sky and daylight. Although her body is still graceful and luxurious at the moment, she has a sense of uneasiness like sitting on pins and needles, as if ten thousand ants are in pain.

She was reluctant to let her green hair fall one after another, nor was she willing to fade away from Washington and put on a robe. The worldly drunken gold fan, glory and wealth, she can't give up all of them.

"Queen, it seems that not only do I have to plan for myself, but you also have to think about it." Su Jin smiled slyly, straightened his hairpin and said.

"Why are you telling me this?" The queen settled down, looked at Su Jin again with a different gaze and asked.

"Because I need your help." Su Jin restrained the smile on his face, looked at the queen with a serious face and said, "If you still want your tablet to be placed in the ancestral hall of the clan and be worshiped by incense for generations, you should stand on my side." ”

The queen looked at Su Jin silently, her hands hidden under the gorgeous phoenix robe were tightly intertwined, and there were faint green tendons bursting out.

Su Jin looked at the queen with a smile and said nothing, and elegantly reached out to comb the hairpin on her head, she knew that the fish had already taken the bait.

In the prince's garden, a little eunuch was standing in front of a closed door with a sad face, looking down at the medicine box in his hand, and sighing uncontrollably.

"Little Liu, what's wrong with you?" A little eunuch passing by on patrol saw it, hurriedly ran over, and asked in a low voice.

"Since the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the second prince has not taken medicine properly for several days." The eunuch known as Xiao Liu sighed, looked at the door melancholy, and said, "He doesn't even let me serve with him, he always locks himself in the room." ”

The little eunuch on patrol was called Xiao Wu by the nobles in the palace, and he was a fellow villager with Xiao Liu, but his mind was much more mature than him.

After Xiao Wu heard Xiao Liu's words, he looked at the door with a complicated face, shook his head and said, "The second prince was originally weak, and I am afraid that he will be even more frightened this time...... Xiaoliu, as long as you don't delay the big thing, don't bother him. ”

"But this medicine ......" Xiao Liu looked at the medicine box in his hand with a face full of embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the medicine that maintains the health of the second prince." ”

"Didn't I say, you still don't understand?" Xiao Wu lowered his voice, looked at Xiao Liu with a serious face and said, "The second prince can't last for a few years, will you use your life to touch his moldy head?" ”

The people in the palace look at the problem the most cold and sober, they have long known that the second prince is just an idle outcast in the palace, there is no Wen Taowu strategy, no healthy body, and there are no cronies around him, I am afraid that if he can't hold on to the king, he will die young.

Therefore, everyone knows that there is no need to devote all your energy to flattery to such a master.

"But ......" Xiao Liu still frowned, showing a tangled expression, and finally sighed and said to Xiao Wu: "You go and get busy, I know it in my heart." ”

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Liu with some anxiety, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "I'll talk to you when I go back to the room tonight." With that, he quickly turned and ran away.

Although Xiao Liu can understand the stakes of Xiao Wu's words, the second prince is kind and kind, and he has always been generous to Xiao Liu, and he can't stand by the second prince's physical condition.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door again, and said softly: "Second prince, why don't you use a little medicine, I brought preserved fruits from the kitchen, which is the most sweet and bitter relief......"

Inside the room, between the half-light and half-dark shadows, Ye Ziyu sat on the Taishi chair, playing with his personal dagger in his hand, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

All the voices of conversation outside the door have of course been recorded in Ye Ziyu's ears word for word. Xiao Liu's personality really made him feel fresh and interesting, he thought that this imperial city had been occupied by people who were good at intrigue, but he didn't expect that there would still be such a bright color.

Wen Jingshan sat on the chair opposite Ye Ziyu, frowning patiently and listening to Xiaoliu's pleading outside the door, his eyes had already flashed murderous intent.

Xiao Liu stood outside the door and begged for a long time, but when he saw that there was no response from inside the house, he had to sigh again, shake his head and turn away.

After hearing Xiao Liu's footsteps gradually disappearing, Wen Jingshan finally said with a calm face: "What a noisy eunuch, he is really nosy. If this person is not removed, there may be trouble in the future! ”

Ye Ziyu smiled faintly and said noncommittally: "Big brother is serious, it's just a little minion, what trouble can you cause?" ”

The reason why Ye Ziyu said this was because he knew very well that once he relented and said that he could kill Xiao Liu, Wen Jingshan would go mercilessly to attack, and then the palace would inevitably be panicked again.

Wen Jingshan snorted coldly, cocked Erlang's legs, and said lazily while looking around: "The house in this imperial city may not be as magnificent as my Xuanwen Pavilion!" ”

The second prince's room is indeed too simple, there are no famous paintings and antiques to decorate it, and the tables, chairs and beds are also extremely simple and simple, not extravagant. The reason why this is so is because the second prince is extremely humble and peaceful by nature and does not like luxury, and secondly, because he does not have a high status in the palace and it is not his turn to enjoy excellent things.

In this way, the second prince's bedroom is indeed not as good as Ye Ziyu's room in Xuanwen Pavilion, Wen Jingshan is not wrong in what he said, but he doesn't understand the connotation.

Ye Ziyu smiled and didn't say anything, but picked up the teacup from the side and took a sip gently, his eyes calm and indifferent.

"Big brother, I have been searching for information in the palace one after another in the past few days, and I have obtained some interesting news." Ye Ziyu put down the teacup, looked at Wen Jingshan and said with a faint smile.

Wen Jingshan was slightly stunned, looked at Ye Ziyu with an inquiring gaze, and motioned for him to continue.

"That old thing doesn't need us to do it, and it won't be long before it lives." When Ye Ziyu said this, people couldn't figure out what he was thinking, "Moreover, the Queen Mother was calculated to go to the West Heaven last night, and he was afraid that he would be even more hit." ”

Listening to Ye Ziyu's words, Wen Jingshan's face was filled with irrepressible surprise, first, he was shocked that the old emperor's limit was approaching, and second, although he had long known that the Xiao Dynasty was hiding dirt, he didn't know that someone would actually calculate the evil thoughts on the head of the Queen Mother.

"The Shaw Dynasty is really about to collapse." Wen Jingshan was surprised, evoked a mocking smile, looked at Ye Ziyu and said, "But it's okay, the more chaotic they are, the easier it will be for our plan to move forward." ”

"What the eldest brother said is very true." Ye Ziyu lowered his head and smiled, threw his eyes out of the window, and said lightly: "Xiao Mochen becoming the crown prince is already a sure thing, after dealing with the funeral of the queen mother, the old emperor will inevitably hold a canonization ceremony for him." ”

"Until then, we'll have to find a chance to get rid of him!" Wen Jingshan's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, and he said in a swishing voice: "That kid has a heavy army in his hands, and he is extremely intelligent, if he becomes a legitimate emperor, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”

"The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade." Ye Ziyu's smile was a little more cunning, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "I found an extremely interesting woman in the imperial city, and the recent turmoil was caused by her. I decided to wait and see what she would do to her. ”

Ye Ziyu is talking about Su Jin. Since he broke the scandal of her affair with the third prince not long ago, Ye Ziyu has paid great attention to her every move, and naturally deduced the fact that it was her who stabbed the queen mother.

What is the purpose of this Su Jin, and she has resorted to so many means, is it to succeed, or is it to protect herself? Ye Ziyu simply ended up with a casual identity of watching the fire from the other side, and she could spy on her every move from an outsider's perspective.

However, if Su Jin's actions violated Su Wan's safety, Ye Ziyu would never sit idly by.

Wen Jingshan completely trusted Ye Ziyu's words, so he bowed his head slightly and said: "Okay, then Ziyu, you will settle down in the palace, and come to see you in a few days for my brother." ”

"Big brother, the wind has been very tight lately, without my flying pigeon to pass the book, you'd better not enter the palace." Ye Ziyu smiled and stood up, looked at the evening sky outside the window and said, "You change into eunuch clothes, and I will send you to the palace gate." ”

Wen Jingshan sneaked into the imperial city at dawn while the sky was dark, but because of the death of the queen mother, the imperial city was bound to strengthen martial law.

"Okay." Wen Jingshan nodded, changed into the daily clothes of eunuchs that had been prepared a long time ago, lowered the brim of his hat, and followed Ye Ziyu out of the room.

The two walked on the silent palace road one after the other, and Ye Ziyu walked in front with his head held high, with a leisurely and lazy smile on his face. Occasionally, I met one or two eunuchs and palace maids, and they just hurriedly greeted him, and they didn't pay attention to Wen Jingshan beside him.

Soon, the two arrived at the Nangong Gate, and Wen Jingshan would soon be able to sneak out of the palace together with the carriage and horse transporting the goods, and at this moment, Ye Ziyu suddenly heard an unexpected voice.
