The prince's words were reasonable, and the queen was not good at continuing to perform for a while, so she said: "This palace just wants to help you because you don't manage well." It's because there is no good wife in the inner courtyard that you, this child, will condone such a cheap maid who doesn't know etiquette, and you will cause such a big disaster. If you had listened to the advice of the palace and married the princess as soon as possible, you would not have been today. The queen said half-smiling.

"The mother is taught. In the future, I will ask my mother to teach me more. The prince's tone was humble, but he did not miss a trace of tone in his words.

Seeing his expression, the queen also understood that he had always been soft and hard, but she was used to it, and turned to Xue Ke and said: "Tang, you don't have etiquette rules and regulations in this palace, you don't care, but you are so bold that you dare to deceive me!" ”

"The concubine is terrified, I don't know what the mother said?" Xue Ke replied with a quiet face.

"During the Winter Festival the year before last, this palace saw you, why haven't you seen you for two years, but you have changed people! Who instructed you? And who gave you the courage to commit such a deception! The queen's voice suddenly raised and asked sharply.

Xue Ke smiled lightly: "Niangniang didn't say anything in front of the emperor just now!" I don't know if it's a bully? ”

The queen secretly gritted her teeth, and smiled at Rong Ruo for a while: "See? This has also deceived me. ”

Rong Ruo said softly: "Niangniang is angry." ”

The queen walked straight up to Xue Ke, stared at her and said, "Don't you dare to kill you as the palace?" ”

Xue Ke looked at the queen's face in a trance, in her previous life, it was this dignified and kind woman who ordered to drag herself to the Internal Affairs Office to be tortured, and the reason was just that her existence might endanger her son in the slightest, but the pity was that she had hoped that Ah Que's mother would accept her in her previous life. In this life, the queen's heart to kill her has not been shaken for a moment. "Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother Xue Ke was also surprised that her tone couldn't hide the waves in her heart, she thought she could. It seems that cultivation is still not enough, she laughed at herself in her heart.

"Bengong left her a cheap life, and she used it to mock Bengong!" The queen's face can no longer maintain the daily elegance. The queen pushed Rong Ruo aside and slapped Xue Ke directly in the face.

The prince didn't dare to stop it, he just pulled Xue Ke to his side at the moment, and the queen's chapter was in vain, she used all her strength, and her body was a little unstable at this time, Rong Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to support the queen, and the queen exhaled deeply, still breathing a little unevenly.

"Mother's anger!" Rong Ruo secretly hugged the queen and said: "Niangniang has compassion, first, you don't have to be angry and hurt for the villain, and second, why hurt the jade bottle for the mouse, isn't it?" Rong Ruo persuaded the queen while trying his best to demean Xue Ke in his words.

Xue Ke had long since stopped taking such words to heart, and suddenly smiled: "I see." ”

The queen was even angrier in her heart, looked at the prince and sneered: "Everyone doesn't say secret words, this palace is indeed for the sake of her serving the King of Qin, so she was spared." Seeing that the prince's eyes sank, the queen knew that the words were working, and her expression slowed down and said to Xue Ke: "Since the prince doesn't dislike you, then you can serve the prince well." It's just that you have to serve with your heart, don't let the prince do the things like Hua Concubine again! Seeing that the prince's hand was tight and tight, a little smile appeared on the queen's face, and she continued to say to Xue Ke: "Your face, it is normal for this palace to look at it, but it looks like the daughter of the Xue family's rebels, it is indeed a bit evil, it is better for this palace to give you a new face!" ”

The prince was angry in his heart, and was about to speak, but he felt a slightly cold hand holding him, only to see Xue Kewei shaking his head invisibly. He didn't know in his heart that it was really not appropriate to cause more trouble at this time today, so he made up his mind, only to see Xue Ke say softly: "Since Niangniang has the heart to protect the concubine in front of His Majesty, and at this time, she has taken a lot of trouble, won't it make Your Majesty suspicious?" ”

The queen paused, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the courtyard, and saw that the winter was depressed, with only a few bare branches and remnants of snow in the corners. Rong Ruo's heart was clear, and he stepped forward to persuade: "Niangniang, there are still many palace affairs waiting for Niangniang's order today!" ”

The queen sighed in her heart and said: "Today, the Tang clan has repeatedly offended the palace, and I wanted to declare the precepts and show the palace rules, but there are many affairs at the moment, and the palace can't care about so much, Rong Ruo, you are here to slap your mouth fifty, small punishment and big commandment!" ”

Rong Ruo took the order and stepped forward. The prince was silent and stepped forward.

Seeing this scene, the queen became angry again, and stroked her temples with her fingers and said: "Rong Ruo, follow me to the imperial study, and the palace will return to Your Majesty!" ”

"Yes!" Rong Ruo answered.

Xue Ke stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang stay!" Niangniang came by His Majesty's will, why bother Your Majesty for some trivial things? The matter of the palm of the mouth, the concubine can do it by herself, saving the aunt from labor. ”

Hearing her words, the queen turned to look at the prince and sneered: "You concubine is also obedient, this palace is going to the emperor's decree." Prince, can you tell me? ”

Xue Ke said softly: "The emperor is kind and benevolent, although he will not let His Highness see him, His Royal Highness should also go to the door of the imperial study to thank him." ”

The prince's hand tightened and tightened, his expression changed and changed, and finally nodded and said, "The minister accompanied Niangniang to the imperial study." ”

The corner of the queen's lips showed a hint of mockery, and said, "Rong Ruo, then you are here to supervise the punishment." After slapping her mouth, let her go to kneel outside the Qingyuan Hall at noon, and let her reflect on it. ”

"The slave and maid lead the mother's will." Rong Ruo turned to Xue Ke who was kneeling and said, "Tang, then you can palm your own mouth!" ”

The prince was behind the queen, gritting his teeth and not looking at Xue Ke, only to hear a slap and Rong Ruo's counting.

The emperor was no longer in the imperial study, and the queen ordered the chamberlain to reply to the will, and the emperor sent back a sentence of "I know" to settle the matter. The prince kowtowed outside the imperial study, and hurried back to Qingyuan Hall with a heavy expression.

At the moment before noon, it was the time for the palace people to change shifts, and the palace people who passed by in twos and threes looked at Xue Ke who was kneeling and Aunt Rong Ruo on the side, secretly communicated with their eyes, and whispered in a low voice after taking a few steps.

The prince saw the sundial in the courtyard walk out of the palace door at noon, and pulled up the kneeling Xue Ke, Xue Ke knelt for a long time, his legs and feet couldn't help but be a little numb, and he barely supported himself to stand up, helping the prince to walk step by step. She was a jeweled hair today, with a swollen face that had been beaten, and she did look a little miserable.

The prince put his arm around her and walked forward silently. Xue Ke heard the voices of the palace people on both sides, and said with a wry smile: "I have embarrassed His Highness today." ”

The prince supported her on the one hand, never felt that the palace gate was so far away, and said in a low voice: "One day, I will let you enter the Forbidden City with a phoenix crown and let them kneel and bow to you." ”

Xue Ke wanted to laugh, the corners of his mouth moved, but he pulled his face, hissed in pain, and said, "That's good." ”

Xing'er has been isolated and detained in another place for the past few days, and he was also released at this time, waiting at the palace gate, seeing the figure of the prince, the grievances of the past few days suddenly came up, and he couldn't help rolling down tears. He trotted up to meet him, the prince helped Xue Ke get closer and closer, saw the scars on Xue Ke's face, his heart sank, and then looked at the prince's eyes, forced the rest of the tears back, wiped his face with his cuffs, ran over to support Xue Ke's other side, and said, "Master!" Tang Niangzi! Let's go back to the East Palace! ”

The subordinate officials of Nangong and Donggong who had returned were waiting anxiously at the gate of Donggong, not speaking to each other, but comforting each other with their eyes. Steward Lu and the others were not so gentle, and kept urging the little servant to go forward and inquire again, until the prince's carriage slowly appeared in sight. The surprise and nervousness in everyone's hearts have reached their peak. The road steward has already greeted him. Xu squinted his eyes and asked, "Is that the butler Xing on the carriage?" Nangong wasn't quite sure: "It looks like it!" ”

The little guy in front of him had already replied excitedly: "It's the prince's carriage, and Uncle Xing is in the carriage!" ”

At last a stone fell to the ground, and everyone burst into laughter.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door, the road steward and others had already hugged it, the prince lifted the curtain, saw everyone's expressions, and slowly nodded and said, "You have worked hard." ”

"Your Highness has been wronged!" "It's not hard to wait!" Everyone gossiped.

I only heard Ah Liu's voice a little out of place in a congratulatory voice: "What about the lady?" ”

Nangong's heart also sank and looked at the carriage.

The prince got out of the car, separated a road in the crowd, walked in front of Ah Liu, and said: "The lady is in the carriage, Ah Liu, you get in the car, Xing'er, the carriage goes directly to Suzheng Hall, Xuan Taiyi." ”

Ah Liu's heart was in a hurry, so he didn't care about saluting, and jumped directly into the carriage. The carriage did not stop, and drove directly from the middle gate into the East Palace. The prince led the people all the way over. Everyone saw that his face was not good, Nangong was really worried about getting along with Xue Ke day and night during this time, but asked directly: "Is Tang Niangzi okay?" ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, let's go back and discuss it again." ”

Everyone chatted for a while on the road, entered the Suzheng Hall, served tea, and everyone sat upright and quieted.

Nangong and Xu's subordinate officials first deleted the complicated and simplified the affairs inside and outside the East Palace during this time. This time it was really dangerous, and everyone looked at the prince.

The prince sneered twice: "I'm afraid everyone can guess what happened in the palace, I didn't drink at the banquet, of course, there is no such shameless thing, Concubine Hua she countered with her life, desperately framed, and died in front of the emperor, I want to know who made such a big decision to slander Lone!" ”

"Concubine Hua is in the deep palace, I am afraid that only the queen can control and command!"

"That's not necessarily, Concubine Hua has been soaring in the past two years, but the queen has always wanted to suppress it!"

"Could it be that Concubine Hua is really a spy in the Western Regions? I heard that her father was originally from the Barucruz tribe, which was exterminated in the battle of the Western Expeditionary Army. ”

Everyone told their guesses and rumors in their hearts, and everyone analyzed them again. Xu Zhiguan stroked his beard and said, "Although it is not easy to investigate the details of this matter, it is clear who can benefit from it!" ”

"What Lord Xu said is reasonable!" Everyone nodded.

Seeing that it was difficult to reach a conclusion for a while, the prince also remembered Xue Ke's injury in his heart, and waved his hand and said, "This matter will be investigated slowly." During this time, you have worked hard, and you have handled it very properly, and you can get out of danger this time thanks to your help. ”

"Your Highness is serious, and the matter within the minister's share is within the minister's share." Everyone stood up and bowed their hands.

"Fortunately, there is no danger this time, Lord Nangong and Tang Niangzi should be the first merit!" Xu added another sentence, and everyone nodded one after another.

Nangong bowed down and said: "The duty of a courtier is not worth mentioning. It's just that Tang Niangzi was wronged in the palace, right? ”

The prince nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'll go in and have a look." Let's go out today. ”

Everyone gradually became familiar with and admired Xue Ke during this time, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel worried, Nangong looked around and said, "Your Highness, you go in first, and the ministers will wait for a while to listen to the imperial doctor." ”

The prince knew what they wanted, and he no longer insisted, and entered through the back door through the back door.

The two imperial doctors were trembling on the side, Ah Liu was taking the ointment and applying it to Xue Ke's face, and Mama Zhang grabbed Xue Ke's hand and gently wiped away the sweat on her forehead and the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief with one hand. The prince looked at Xue Ke's face, only to see that she was biting a handkerchief in her mouth, her head was full of sweat and tears, and his heart hurt, so he tore off the handkerchief in her mouth and said, "Shout out if it hurts!" ”

Ah Liu dipped in some ointment, Xue Ke gasped in pain, and said with a wry smile: "I've been very squeamish since I was a child, but it doesn't hurt much." ”

The prince lifted her face, the makeup on her head had been removed, her hair was scattered, the original pretty face was half bloodstained and half swollen, the whole was deformed, and there was only one line left in her swollen eyes, Mama Zhang sniffed: "Prince!" And the tears rolled down.

The prince patted Mama Zhang's hand gently, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned to face the imperial doctor, and said roughly, "Does it matter?" ”

"Your Highness, although it looks scary, but it is all skin trauma, Your Highness does not have to worry too much, the ministers and others do their best to try not to leave scars."

"Use the best medicine!"

"Yes!"

The prince shook Xue Ke's hand and turned to walk out of the inner room. Take a few deep breaths at the door and return to the main hall. Seeing everyone's worried looks, he said, "It's okay. Seeing Nangong's obviously relieved expression, the prince's expression was awe-inspiring: "I have always been self-respecting, and I have always been disdainful of conspiracy, but from today onwards, I have decided not to defend and dodge, and to attack head-on, and I ask you for help!" ”

Everyone was surprised and delighted, exchanged glances with each other, and said in unison: "I am willing to swear allegiance to the death!" ”

The crown prince took a deep breath and said: "Nangong, the handles of the queen and the vassals, subordinates, and vassals of the queen and the king of Qin that you have mastered before can be taken out, and you will start to discuss carefully tomorrow, and you must hit it with one blow, and the sword will see the blood." ”

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

In an impassioned voice, a slightly hesitant voice said: "Your Highness, it's just that there are many of Her Highness's mother families on the queen's side, and they should be treated equally?" ”

The prince narrowed his eyes: "For so many years, Lone has been thinking about this blood relationship, allowing them to ride on the wall and watch, and benefit from both ends, and now it is time for them to take a stand." ”

"Yes!" Everyone also understood the prince's determination. Although it was cold in Suzheng Hall at night, everyone sincerely felt their blood boiling. The prince has always been upright and resolute, and has repeatedly suffered dark losses, although he understands it in his heart, he refuses to play the same tricks, and now the situation that has only been defended for many years has finally slowly changed.
