As soon as I returned to Beijing at this moment, I saw these eyes that were very similar to those in blue when I walked to the gate of the city. It's no wonder that Xuanyuan Yu is not excited!

"What do you call this young lady?" Xuanyuan Yu asked blankly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi frowned fiercely when he saw this scene, he pulled Gu Ruoxi behind him and hid it, and said, "What do you mean?" As long as a woman appears next to me, you will show such a squinting expression, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, are you so hungry and don't choose to eat? ”

Xuanyuan Yu was sarcastic, his face suddenly turned red, and he said stiffly: "Uncle Huang, what nonsense are you talking about?" I'm just curious about who this girl is, just to get to know her, do you need to be so nervous? Or is she the future princess chosen for you by the imperial grandmother? If it's really an aunt. Then I am indeed Meng Lang......"

"She's not yet." Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted Xuanyuan Yu coldly, and said concisely: "Okay, the imperial brother summons you, you go quickly!" Don't delay, beware of the royal brother's blame! With that, he took Gu Ruoxi's hand and walked over Xuanyuan Yu and walked out.

Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were firmly fixed on the backs of Gu Ruoxi and Xuanyuan Jingxi, until the figures of the two of them disappeared at the gate of the palace. Only then did he turn around and interrogate the guards guarding the door, "Who is that young lady standing with my imperial uncle?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, that's the second lady of the Jinye Mansion!" The guard immediately replied respectfully.

"The second young lady of the Gu family?" When Xuanyuan Yu heard this, he was immediately taken aback.

"Yes!" The guard replied.

Xuanyuan Yu turned his head, turned his head and glanced at the empty palace gate, and after a moment of pause, he finally walked towards the inner palace with a whip.

Xuanyuan Jingxi sent Gu Ruoxi to the gate of Jinye Houfu, and then reluctantly returned to the palace.

As Gu Ruoxi said, there are still many things to deal with in the Hou Mansion, so she can't leave. Xuanyuan Jingxi is the person who understands her best. So he won't be reluctant, even if he really misses her.

An hour later, Xuanyuan Jingxi returned to the palace again, but saw that the Queen Mother was sitting alone in the main hall with her eyes closed, as if the bloody case before did not exist at all.

"Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi called out and slowly walked in front of the Queen Mother. He reached out and took her hand, but didn't ask anything.

But the Queen Mother raised her head, glanced at her son and said, "Don't you ask me, what to do with Miss Liang?" ”

"The queen mother can do whatever she wants." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly: "Everything is not as important as my mother's body, such a trivial matter." It's nothing at all, if the queen mother is angry, then the son is really unfilial. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile slowly overflowed on her lips, and she glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi and said, "What about Miss Gu Er?" She has suffered such a grievance today, but what has she cried in front of you? ”

Regulus

Jing Xi shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, you are wrong, Ruoxi is not that kind of person, she will never cry in front of her son, don't worry!" ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother squinted at him and said, "Since she is so strong, then why did you have to send her out of the palace just now?" If it weren't for the fact that she has been very well-behaved these days, she wouldn't have agreed! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi said with a smiling face: "Queen Mother, don't talk about this first, you tell your son first, what are you going to do with Miss Liang?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was silent for a moment before she said: "The mourning family locked her in the back of the Buddhist room, and for the time being, they haven't thought of a way to deal with her, this matter is ......."

"Queen Mother, are you planning to hide it from the imperial brother?" Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, my son knows that you are worried that your eldest brother has already engaged in two family affairs, so he is reluctant to make this matter public, because by that time, this Miss Liang will definitely not be able to be my brother's surviving person, in fact, a person like her is not worthy at all!" ”

"You're afraid of the world's discussions, and you're also afraid of the emperor's brother's opposition, that's why you want to do this, right?" Xuanyuan Jingxi asked.

The Queen Mother glanced at him, sighed and said, "Then can you have a better way?" ”

"Queen Mother, it depends on whether you want to punish Miss Liang or value my brother's happiness more." Xuanyuan Jingxi explained lightly: "Asking Miss Liang to marry my eldest brother and keeping a guard for him all her life is indeed a cruel revenge, if so, I also agree with my mother's approach." It's just that I'm afraid that Miss Liang is not an honest person. She may not accept her fate, and she will definitely come up with some moths when the time comes. ”

"That's one of them. Second, from my eldest brother's point of view, he must not want his mother to choose such a vicious woman for him to be his wife after his death, and if he had a spirit under him, he would not want to do so! ”

Listening to her son's words, the Queen Mother was a little incredulous, she didn't expect that even if she liked the girl of the Gu family, his son could say such a reasonable thing!

"Jing'er, do you really think so?" The Queen Mother glanced at her son fixedly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, how to deal with this matter, the mourning family has already made a conclusion in their hearts, you should be busy with you." ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his lips hooked, and he said with a smile: "Queen Mother, are you angry with Miss Gu'er?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but ponder. After a long while, she sighed and said: "Prejudice aside, this young lady of the Gu family is not chaotic in the face of danger, and when the situation is so unfavorable to herself, she can calmly find out the flaws and fight back, this girl is indeed a person who can take on a big responsibility!" If it were a man, she would definitely be able to become a person with extraordinary ability, but as a woman, she did not do well, and it was much better than ordinary girls. ”

"Then the queen mother, why can't you agree to her marrying your son?"

Xuanyuan Jingxi took the opportunity to be coquettish.

The Queen Mother glanced at him, but sighed and said, "After all, she was engaged to your brother, and now she is married to you, doesn't this make the world laugh?" Presumably the emperor will not agree, I heard that he seems to be interested in letting this second lady marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince? I think it's a good idea......"

"Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted the Queen Mother, and said in a mournful tone: "Queen Mother, your son's sweetheart is about to run away, you don't say that you think for me, but you are still gloating here!" Are you such a mother? ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she reached out and touched Xuanyuan Jingxi's hair, and said with a smile: "You really, you like this Second Miss Gu so much?" ”

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded without hesitation.

"But after all, she is the daughter of the Marquis of Jin, and the emperor will never let her marry you no matter what." The Queen Mother was very pitiful and said: "What's the use of the Queen Mother even if she agrees? ”

"The Queen Mother! Don't worry about it yet! Just say you don't agree! Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately retorted. Miscellaneous garbage.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said truthfully: "Jing'er, the Queen Mother will tell you the truth!" No matter how good this Second Miss Gu is, it is impossible for you to be together, so why should you ......"

"Mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted: "Okay, I understand what you mean, my son still has something to do, so I'll leave first." With that, he got up and saluted the Queen Mother, turned around and strode away.

The Queen Mother looked at his slightly lonely back, and her face was a little complicated.

In the afternoon of the same day, she sent someone over, invited the emperor from the imperial study, and told everything that happened in the palace.

"What? This Miss Liang brought poison that can kill people, poisoned a palace maid in the mother's harem, and then wanted to blame the second lady of the Gu family, failed? The Emperor was astonished.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "It's true, several imperial doctors performed an autopsy together, and together they searched for the seeds of the mandala flower from the palace maid, and also found the exact same seeds from Miss Liang's home. ”

"So what does the Queen Mother want to do?" The Emperor asked.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "What does the emperor think?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he said in a deep voice: "How can such a vicious and bold person leave her alive? She is no longer worthy of being a wife to Brother Min, so she directly died with a cup of poisoned wine! As for the Liang family, they will take the title! ”

"But the emperor thinks that Miss Liang is the only one who did this?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said, "She is outside all the year round, and it is rare to enter the palace once, how can she be so familiar with the Cining Palace of the mourning family?" And can you buy Xiaoluo for her use? Someone must be in the palace to give her an internal response! ”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, what do you mean ......?"

"Has the emperor forgotten Concubine Liang?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said, "This one hasn't appeared in my Cining Palace for a long time, and he still came before."

Pretty diligent! ”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly realized, he suddenly remembered, when his father was in power, there was a powerful Liang Guifei in the palace, but later the emperor died, and this Liang Guifei inevitably moved to the palace where the concubines lived.

"What does the queen mother mean is that what this Miss Liang did in the palace is related to that Concubine Liang?" The Emperor asked.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, just interrogate it." As she spoke, she glanced at Jingyue on the side.

Jingyue understood, and immediately walked out, and after a while, she walked in from outside with Xiaoluo, who was trembling all over.

The emperor glanced at it, turned his head to the queen mother and asked, "Queen Mother, is this the palace maid who hooked up with Miss Liang?" ”

"That's right!" The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Does the emperor want to see Miss Liang now?" ”

"Nope!" The emperor frowned and said: "When I see it, I must have shouted some wrongful words, I only look at the evidence, and I have no interest in these!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Luo who was kneeling on the hall majestically: "What is your name, and who is the master behind you?" ”

"Slave Xiaoluo, see the emperor!" Xiao Luo fell to the ground violently, but said with a frightened face: "Slave, the master of the slave is the Queen Mother!" ”

"What are you pretending to be stupid?" The emperor said impatiently: "I am asking you if you are from Concubine Liang?" ”

When Xiao Luo heard this, she trembled.

Seeing her reaction, the emperor had already guessed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Speak well, I will only give you one chance!" If you don't tell or lie, you're dead! ”

When Xiao Luo heard this, she seemed to be very scared, but she gritted her teeth, and suddenly made up her mind and said: "Back to the emperor, the master of the slave is indeed the queen mother......

"Come on, slap your mouth!" The emperor coldly commanded.

Soon, a few stout mothers-in-law came over from the side, and they gave Xiaoluo dozens of mouths with a crackle, and her front teeth fell to the ground, and she almost fainted in pain!

"Give you another chance to speak, tell the truth, or I will make your life worse than death!" The emperor stared at Xiao Luo coldly. It can be seen that he is really angry.

Xiao Luo's frightened soul did not possess her body, she fell to the ground softly, and was carried by several mothers-in-law to straighten up, and the emperor's words came into her ears word by word, this time, she finally stopped her mouth and begged for mercy: "Slave and maid tell the truth!" ”

"Say!" The Emperor asked sharply.

The Queen Mother sat aside and watched without saying a word.

Xiao Luo glanced at the Queen Mother, and then looked at the emperor, but suddenly showed a miserable smile, and shouted fiercely: "The master of the slave is the Queen Mother!" With that, thick blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The Emperor was taken aback

, hurriedly shouted: "Someone! Fast! Pry her mouth open! ”

Aunt Jingyue and the others all rushed up, broke Xiaoluo's lips, raised her head and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, she killed herself by biting her tongue." ”

In the interval between her words, Xiao Luo's head was already hanging down.

The emperor was furious, and the man died in front of him, and this was worth it! He said angrily: "You guys check me! See who else is her comrade! Caught and killed! ”

"Yes! Emperor! The crowd answered, and immediately withdrew. Xiao Luo's body in the main hall was also carried down.

"Emperor, you don't have to be so angry." The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said.

"Can I not be angry?" The emperor sighed and said, "I don't know how many such traitors there are in Cining Palace!" How can I rest assured? ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I can only check it slowly, now that Xiaoluo is dead, and there is no clue at all, there is no way to be anxious." ”

"Don't worry about this for now, the top priority now is to deal with the people of the Liang family." The emperor's tone was very sad: "Queen Mother, my son is not filial, and he actually let such a thing happen to your inner palace......"

The Queen Mother: "Emperor, you don't have to apologize in a hurry, let's talk about how to deal with it first!" “

"Concubine Liang is my father's concubine, but she can't move, otherwise the world will talk about it again." The emperor said in a deep voice: "Those scholars' verbal and written criticism is enough to give me a headache, so I will send guards to strictly guard her, and I will never let her go out of the dormitory in the future." ”

"That's fine." The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you go on." ”

The emperor glanced at her and said, "As for Miss Liang, Queen Mother, do you still want her to continue to be Princess Min?" If you don't agree, I'll kill her with a cup of poisoned wine! As for the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, I will laugh at the lord and seize the throne, and in the future, the Liang family will only be the Liang family, and it will have nothing to do with the family valve. ”

"Nope! This Miss Liang can't die yet. The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Although this person is bold in Cining Palace, and he doesn't care about the face of the mourning family at all, he actually does such a thing, but aside from all this, she can be regarded as a person with means and boldness, the emperor might as well keep it, and maybe it will come in handy in the future." As for my family Min'er, he is really blessed, he can't stand this Miss Liang, so the emperor still dissolved the marriage contract! ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't believe it: "Queen Mother, what you said is true?" Na Min Di ......"

"That's it, the mourning family chose two fiancées for him in a row, but in the end, he couldn't get it, forget about this matter, don't mention it again in the future." The Queen Mother shook her head and said disheartenedly: "I think this is not a good way, I can't add longevity to Min'er, even if it is, the mourning family will never choose a wife for him in the future." ”

"It's not a good thing that the queen mother can think like this." When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Min has been dead for so many years,

Thinking about it, he should have been reincarnated a long time ago, but the queen mother has never forgotten to marry him, which makes him even if he is reincarnated, he can't be a heart! ”

"Yes! Why didn't the mourning family think of this? When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded again and again: "Emperor, what you said is good. ”

"Queen Mother, but you said that this Miss Liang is still useful...... the emperor muttered: "Please forgive my son for being stupid and not thinking through ......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and said, "Emperor, you are really confused!" At the beginning of spring next year, isn't Yan Guo going to send envoys to visit? They have already said before that they will bring a prince and want to marry my Dayuan, has the emperor forgotten about this? ”

"Yes, there is such a thing." The emperor nodded and said, "However, what do you mean by the queen mother......"

"How can our royal golden branches and jade leaves marry into other countries?" The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said, "Isn't this Miss Liang the best candidate?" She is a damned person, and being able to kiss Dayan can be regarded as a little effort for the court, and the emperor spared her from the death penalty, isn't it just right? ”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly realized, but he glanced at the queen mother suspiciously, and said: "Queen Mother, but anyone can choose to kiss, why do you want to choose this Miss Liang?" ”

"She's smart and bold!" The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said: "As long as the emperor sends someone to teach her, maybe she marries Dayan, and it can have an unexpected effect, the emperor said, right?" ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said." When the emperor heard this, he frowned and pondered, and after a long while, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Your method is good, Erchen didn't think of it before, so in this way, the title of the Marquis of Zhongyong is not necessary?" ”

"You still have to go if you have to go!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and said, "They have no punishment at all, is it true that I, the person in Cining Palace, died in vain?" ”

The Emperor was speechless.
