After the queen mother's coffin was sent out of Beijing, it was temporarily placed in the main hall of the Huangji Temple, and before it was buried, Yun Zhen left Beijing. Daiyu sent him to the official road, and on the way back, he happened to meet the crown prince, and the two people happened to meet. The crown prince sat on his horse, walked to Daiyu's palanquin, and knocked on it.

  Daiyu lifted the curtain and saw the prince wearing plain four-clawed silver dragon arrow sleeves, and said hello, "Forgive the courtiers for the inconvenience of getting out of the car and asking the prince to say goodbye!" ”

  "It's okay, you and I don't have to pay attention to these false courtesies." The prince looked ahead, his face expressionless, "The eighth is out of Beijing?" Bengong knows that he went for the matter of Thirteen, but, the eighth daughter-in-law, even if you all know that Thirteen was killed by me, so what? ”

  Daiyu stared at him fiercely, how could he expect him to be able to say such brazen words, and he was so angry that he wanted to step forward and tear him, but he couldn't do anything, gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that the sins of heaven are forgivable, and you can't live for your own sins, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thirteen years old, has not hindered you, you have acted like this, dreaming back at midnight, will your conscience be at peace?" ”

  "Didn't get in my way?" The prince turned his head and saw Daiyu's eyes with tears in his eyes, although he was angry, but in his eyes it was undoubtedly like a pear blossom with rain, very delicate, he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile, "Believe it or not, the emperor is dispensable to me, but you, I was bound to win, that opportunity was just right, but unfortunately I was disturbed by that bastard, you say, who will I kill if I don't kill him?" ”

  Daiyu was speechless to comment on such words, only looked at him in a daze, only to see him laugh, and turned to her seriously, "Don't worry, my position as the crown prince is very stable, and a few of them can't shake it, I might as well tell you that my father has sworn in front of the queen mother, and he will never abolish me." As long as the father and emperor do not issue an edict to abolish the throne for a day, in addition to the palace, in the future, no matter who ascends to the pole, they will be chaotic ministers and thieves, and everyone will be punished! ”

  After he finished speaking, he left like a victorious king, Daiyu looked at his back, wondering what happened to the emperor, and said, "Let's go!" ”

  When she arrived at Concubine Rong's house, Daiyu said the prince's words, Concubine Rong pondered for a long time, and shook her head, "There is no reason, not to mention that the queen mother and the emperor are already mother and son, even if it is mother and son filial piety, I can't think of what the queen mother can use to coerce the emperor to make this oath." And it is related to the society of the country, whether it is the ancestral family law or the court and the national law, the queen mother is not allowed to do this, how can the emperor comply? ”

  However, whether it is kicking Wu Anbo or Concubine Feng to death, it is enough to see that the prince is already rebellious, but the emperor still has no intention of deposing the prince, which makes people have to believe that the prince's words are true. The meaning of the mother concubine, the daughter-in-law, the words of the prince, you can talk to other princes, now that the prince is not in Beijing, you can't let the prince do this. The daughter-in-law is worried, is he planning something? ”

  "You're saying he's going to rebel?"

  Daiyu shook her head, "In Beijing, he shouldn't dare, but the concubine still remembers that the emperor was assassinated twice, once because the prince helped the emperor block an arrow, and once when the younger brother of the noble man gave an early warning." This year, the emperor must go to Tiewang Mountain to fight the siege, coupled with the rebellion in Ping'an Island, who can predict that something will happen? ”

  The summer of this year seemed to be particularly difficult, and the calm in Beijing was suffocating. At the end of June, Xiangyun gave birth to a daughter, and when it came to Xisan, Daiyu couldn't have gotten going, but the fourth princess came to invite her, so Daiyu had no choice but to go, put a gold coin in the basin, and the eunuch who had been following Yunyou came over to invite Daiyu, "The prince of the county asks the princess of Qinjun to speak!" ”

  Daiyu followed him over, under the willow tree at the gate of the upper courtyard, there were many people coming and going, Yun You smiled and said, "The scenery here is better, there are a few stone benches here, please come over and have a cup of tea!" ”

  Daiyu also laughed, "It is said that the fourth brother is considerate, and when I saw it today, if this is the case, I have really known each other in vain all these years!" ”

  Yun You smiled but didn't answer, raised his hand weakly, and asked Daiyu to come over. The two of them sat down across from the stone table, on which was a small red clay stove with pine cones burned, and a pot of water was already steaming and gurgling, and they saw that it was about to roll. Yun You skillfully dialed the tea leaves, and Daiyu saw that it was Qimen black tea, so she smiled and said, "It turns out that the fourth brother also drinks black tea?" ”

  "I have a weak spleen and stomach, and the doctor said that it is better to drink black tea and not touch green tea. I used to only drink green tea, but now I'm used to it. ”

  "Yes, many things are not very difficult to do, the difficult thing is to keep doing them, and after a long time, it is difficult for him not to do them. Therefore, the cloud of "Poetry", "There is no beginning and no end", it is said that it is easy to start well, but it is difficult to end well! ”

  Yun You smiled, "So, this battle has already started, and now, what we have to do is to persevere, and finally be able to start and finish well." Eighth brother and sister, is that what you want to say? ”

  "Could it be that the fourth brother has already heard about it?"

  "What did you hear?"

  "The father swore before the death of the queen mother that he would never depose the crown prince?"

  Yun You's eyes narrowed, staring at Daiyu for a long time, "Eighth brother and sister, the crown prince is the prince of a country, how can he be easily abolished?" Besides, after the abolition, the eighth brother and sister thought, who is worthy of the position of the prince? ”

  Daiyu didn't panic, smiled indifferently, took a cup of tea from Yun You, blew off the foam on it, took a sip, and sighed, "Tea, of course, is good tea, but the water used by the fourth brother is not good, I thought that the fourth brother should use the water of the jade spring to make tea, but who knew that it was ordinary river water, which should not be used to make tea." ”

  Yun You was a little deflated in his heart, but he became more and more curious about the woman in front of him, "What do you mean, I shouldn't have asked such a thing?" ”

  Daiyu put down the teacup, "This white jade tea set, the best Keemun black tea, should really be brewed with snow water for the year." Fourth brother, you just said that you shouldn't ask it, why shouldn't you ask? The fourth brother asked this sentence to be the person with the real temperament, if he didn't ask, in my opinion, he would be hiding a traitor, and he would not dare to conspire with the fourth brother in the future. ”

  Yun You had to convince Daiyu of such a mind, lowered his eyes, and was already a little envious of Yun Zhen's good luck in his heart.

  "Can the eighth brother and sister answer this question?"

  Daiyu smiled, "Answer, I think the fourth brother has his own hills and valleys in his chest, and he doesn't need the guidance of a stupid woman like me." The fourth brother said that his father swore an oath, such an oath, does the fourth brother think it is credible or not? ”

  "What do the eighth brothers and sisters think?"

  Daiyu said, "Whether it's credible or not, it doesn't matter now." These words have been spread by people with good intentions, and everyone in the world knows that the father and emperor swore that if the prince is abolished in the future, it will be enough to make a fuss. In this way, the father had to weigh it, and he couldn't even explain it. Moreover, the Empress Dowager has always favored the crown prince, and the courtiers can easily believe that the empress dowager must have made such a move. If the crown prince is abolished, if he denies it, he will be named unfilial. Yes, believing or not believing is a dilemma. ”
