Above the dome, the ink became deeper and deeper, as if it was about to pour down in the next moment, swallowing everything in the world, leaving only the pitch black that could not be seen.

Concubine Jia sat in front of the huge screen carved with mountains and forests, and the candlelight in the hall reflected a deep shadow. In the face of the urgent question of the six princes, her dignified and virtuous face returned to just the right amount of majesty without losing her soft look. It seems that she was not the one who threw down the teacup at her son.

Such a woman seems to be more suitable for the role of the mother of a country than the sickly and weak Empress Wenqin, or the unintelligent Empress Wang, however, her background makes it impossible for her to get such a title.

"The mother concubine has been by your father's side for so many years, and she knows that the situation in this palace is by no means as simple as you see on the surface, at least the power of the third princess is far above you, and if you rush out now, you will only become the target of others."

"Third Emperor Sister she ......" Beishan wanted to say that she was just a princess, but after thinking about it, countless goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body.

The third princess was raised by the queen, and has always maintained the prince, and has taken care of the prince's affairs for many years, doing her best, and the power in her hands is growing, and even Beishan Xiao often hands over state affairs to her. The queen died in childbirth, and the prince suffered a tragic disaster, only in an instant. But the third princess is still the third princess, and she is still valued by the king, trusted by the ministers, and supported by the people, and has not been affected at all.

Concubine Jia's gaze fell on the ice sculpture that had melted and the outline of the Rui Beast could not be seen, and her voice was also a little cold. "It seems that the prosperity of the queen and the crown prince has not dissipated during their lifetime, but in fact, they have entered the Yellow Spring. And those forces that were attached to them before, now in whose hands are they now? ”

Kitayama Yi's hands and feet were eroded by sweat. The mother concubine is from the palace, and she can rely on it, only the love of her father, they have no other help, and they have been walking on thin ice for many years and being cautious, so they have survived until now. Compared with his third emperor sister, he is like a paper tiger, with the name of the sixth prince. But he still couldn't believe it, did the Third Emperor Sister really have that idea? "My father won't pass on the throne to her......"

There were only their mothers and sons in the huge hall, and there was a mist of incense rising from the incense burner in the middle, and Beishan Yi heard his mother's slightly low and slow voice: "If you count on others to send you off in this world, it will be too peaceful a long time ago." ”

Beishan was shocked, indeed, throughout the ages, there are a few people who really hold the edict of the emperor to succeed to the throne.

Concubine Hui walked close to him, moved her steps to the tall pink and blue bottle, stared at the pattern on it and said, "The more you do, the more you make mistakes, don't be cocooned." You just sit and watch, don't easily become someone else's meal. ”

She had already restrained the gentle smile on her face that had not changed for ten thousand years, leaving behind the wind and frost and sensitivity of the years, she looked back at the six princes for a long time, and said slowly: "Sometimes, if you can survive, you will become the biggest winner. If necessary, your mother will give you a gossip. ”

"Mother concubine......" The sixth prince wanted to ask a few more words, but saw that his mother had already gotten up and went to the inner hall, leaving him with a back that had faded over the years.

"It's late at night, you are an adult prince, you can't stay in the palace for a long time, let's go."

……

Baimeng didn't make any moves, but Kitayama Xiao didn't dare to despise it. At a time when the crown prince is dead and Yasukuni is about to be in civil strife, this calm, like a storm before the onset of momentum, is waiting for an opportunity to launch the deadliest waves.

Gongsun Xian has not yet had any news, and Shubei cannot be without a coach for a day. When Yue Rongting received the order, he began to busy dispatching military supplies and coordinating troops and horses. In addition, this expedition was different from the previous ones, and he was accompanied by a noble Chincha-sama. He had to be cautious and busy.

The original plan to take Yue Ran on the road had to be changed, but Yue Ran was protected by Gongsun Lan, and he was relieved.

Yue Rongting had actually been hesitating, not knowing whether to accept Gongsun Lan's proposal, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Lan had already started to do the matter of saving Yue Ran, and he was not willing to help until he made a decision.

This made him feel that he was a villain and a little heartwarming at the same time.

Although from another point of view, this is not a means for Gongsun Lan to subdue him, but he can't refuse, and he can't help but be grateful.

Fortunately, with his grandson, he does not need to violate his conscience and heart.

At the end of August, Yue Rongting's purging army set out from Kyoto and went all the way to the north gate, and the streets were full of lively people on both sides, talking about Beishan Liao, the great prince of Qincha.

Gongsun Lan stood on the Tianxue Tower, looking at the team below through the window lattice. But the person in the chariot suddenly lifted the curtain and looked at her.

He was wearing a blue shirt, and against the backdrop of a lot of iron armor, he looked extremely clear and light. It's like a green bud in the stone forest, which makes people feel fragile and fragile for no reason.

Gongsun Lan crashed into the sudden sight and was stunned. And the other party seemed to be just casually skimming, and when he saw that it was her, he showed a slight surprise, and then nodded slightly, with a gentle and restrained smile, very personable.

"Hey, miss, didn't this man ask the servant to lend an umbrella to our son that day? I didn't expect him to be the eldest prince? ”

Gongsun Lan looked at the dark green brocade curtain that had fallen, and frowned slightly. "I didn't expect that either."

That day, she went out of the city to look for twilight spring, entered the water several times, and finally found the carriage driven by Li Chaosheng, the wreckage was stuck in the middle of the stones at the bottom of the river, but there was no trace of the two of them. She went all the way downstream to find it, and it was not convenient for her to drive. When he was about to go back, he encountered heavy rain, so he hid under the eaves with Yuexi Lei Cheng, waiting for someone to pick him up. The man was driving by and ordered someone to lend them two umbrellas.

During this time, there was no communication between the two sides, and Beishan Liao only saw them by accident, and ordered the servants to leave the umbrella and left, as if he didn't care whether they accepted it or not, but just did what he wanted.

Yuexi couldn't help but say: "At that time, the young lady looked at this person and said that this person was congenitally deficient, and it must be a rich and noble family to raise him to such an extent, and now it seems that he is really not an ordinary rich and noble......"

"I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so unscrupulous, he looked like an ordinary scholar, without the deterrence of the children of the royal family, and he didn't even have the cynical nobility of the six princes. It's like ......" Twilight Leaf pondered for a moment before thinking of how to describe the feeling of the eldest prince, and said: "Just like the eminent monk in the temple, when he looks at it, he feels like a spring breeze and is thoughtful." ”

It makes it easy for people to let down their guard.

Gongsun Lan didn't speak, but added in his heart.

She hadn't seen through the depths of the great prince at this time. He was able to put forward the proposal of the Qincha, and he was able to take the responsibility of the Qincha himself, so he was not an ordinary brain. It's just that this thought is because of the sense of responsibility as a child of the royal family, or is it the same as the third princess and others?

Gongsun Lan thought like this, and shook his head again, his body couldn't support him to do such a scheming and calculation.

Perhaps, I really just want to share my father's worries. I heard that when he gets along with Kitayama Xiao, he is like a folk father and son.

"Let's not talk about this first, we have to find a way to find the fifth brother. Although he will not worry about his life for the time being, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, Yan Hong is ruthless. It's hard to guarantee that there will be no changes if it drags on for a long time. ”

Twilight said: "The clan has already sent someone to Shubei to investigate, I hope Miss doesn't have to go to it herself." ”

Gongsun Lan looked at the dome from afar, as if he could see the churning smoke clouds in Kyushu, and said: "Tan Clan, if someone really went to test it, we must be careful to take precautions, don't make a mistake in the inside, let people take advantage of the loophole." ”

"The slaves and maids are afraid that the third lady will have doubts, and besides, you are holding me in the inner house, and I am connected to you, so I don't dare to move too much, but I already have some eyebrows."

……

In the North Hell Palace, Gongsun Tu is holding a small flower basket in his hand, picking the blooming Yaotai jade dew, and the purple and gold skirt is long and long in the flowers, which is beautiful and incomprehensible. It's just that her face was slightly pale at this time, her eyelashes were lowered, and she said in a trembling voice: "The courtiers don't understand what Concubine Jia said. ”

Concubine Jia watched the warm yellow sunlight flow through the gaps in the trees, and smiled calmly. She reached out and folded a green willow, plucked off the leaves on it one by one, and said:

"Although the palace is from a humble background, but over the years, thanks to the favor of the king, it has been used for endless prosperity, and a son and a daughter under him can be regarded as very complete, even if the mountains and rivers collapse one day, the sun and the moon are not light, it is worth it. It's a pity that you are only in your teens, and you don't have to be like this willow branch, suffering so much that you finally wither and die. ”

Gongsun Tu frowned: "Why did Concubine Jianiang say this, the monarch is heroic and wise, even if Yasukuni is not stable for the time being, it will not reach the point that Niangniang said." ”

"Even if it doesn't, this palace doesn't think you can achieve what you want." Concubine Jia's eyes raised slightly, looked at her and said: "You have waited for the opportunity to approach the king five times, but you have not been able to get the king's promise, not only because your surname is Gongsun and you serve by the queen mother's side, but also because you have no use value for the king." The king is not young anymore, and his heart is more important than anything else, and it is not enough to rely on his appearance and a little cleverness. ”

Her words were straightforward and merciless, which made Gongsun Tu feel embarrassed for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and she said disapprovingly: "This is not a good concern for Concubine Jia." ”

Concubine Jia looked at her expression, confirmed the guess in her heart even more, and said, "However, I guess you have other chips besides your beautiful young appearance." But it seems that your chips cannot be used easily, and you must get what you deserve before you can give them to the other party with confidence, otherwise, once the chips are revealed, you will lose all your value and can only be slaughtered. Am I right? ”

Gongsun Di's face finally changed, she looked at Concubine Jia, trying to put away the panic on her face but couldn't. can only grit his teeth and quibble: "What the mother said, the courtiers don't understand." ”
