Chapter 620: He is the well-deserved crown prince
The emperor was noncommittal.
He silently opened the volume on the shelf, his voice indifferent and majestic: "I have ordered someone to investigate his origins. If he is really the son of me and Cheng Cheng, then he is a well-deserved prince. β
As if she had expected his answer, Empress Zhao's face was calm.
It's just that the hands caged in the wide sleeves are quietly tightened.
In the middle of the night, she got up and left the imperial study.
The Emperor paused as he flipped through the scroll.
On the yellowed pages, the handwriting is blurred, and it gradually turns into a beautiful face in memory.
"Cheng Cheng ......"
He whispered.
Li Yuhui stood silently outside the bead curtain.
She was delicate and timid, "Your Majesty? β
The emperor looked over, she knelt on the ground nervously, and the pear blossoms brought rain, "The courtiers have seen the emperor!" The courtiers came to ask the emperor for their guilt, and during the Seven Kingdoms Ceremony, the courtiers were not good, and the courtiers should not be guilty of Sister Su, which made everyone suspect that it was the courtiers who pushed Sister Su......"
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, fresh and beautiful, just like a peach blossom on a branch.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "You come here." β
Li Yuhui cautiously stepped into the bead curtain.
There is a charming and charming demeanor between the manners, and even the voice is much softer: "Your Majesty ......"
β¦β¦
The other side.
Empress Zhao returned to Weiyang Palace, dismissed all the palace maids, and angrily smashed all the jade antiques at hand:
"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is better than a concubine, and it is better to steal than to steal! Xue Chengcheng has disappeared for so many years, he still misses her, and even wants to set up a son who appeared out of nowhere to be the prince, it's ridiculous! β
A man walked out of the corner.
Wearing a dark blue robe, his hair is tied with an ebony hairpin, and when he laughs, he is clear and warm, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
It's Su Runmo.
He said: "The emperor of your country hides the white moonlight in his heart, isn't the queen the same?" It's just half a catty and eight taels. β
"Master Su, I heard Wu Song say that you want to cooperate with this palace. This is your attitude towards cooperation with Hongu? β
"Let's be honest. Today's emperor's attitude is quite clear, as long as he finds Xue Chengcheng, he will immediately take that woman into the palace. As for Xiao Tingchen, he will also be rightfully included in the royal family genealogy. Xiao Tingchen, who became the prince, will no longer work for his mother, he will only benefit himself. β
"He has Gu poison in his body, and he can only be manipulated by this palace."
"There is no poison in the world that cannot be cured, and Lord Wu's poison is no exception."
Empress Zhao's face was ugly.
She sat on the rose chair and took a few sips of the teacup before she could barely contain the uneasiness in her heart.
She raised her eyes, "Xue Chengcheng...... Is it really Xiao Tingchen's mother? β
Su Runmo: "Xue Chengcheng hid in Xiao Mansion, changed his name and surname, called Xue Ling, and gave birth to Xiao Tingchen twenty-two years ago. The word 'Ling' takes the meaning of loneliness, when the Chang'an Palace changed, the man she loved died in it, and it was reasonable to call herself Xue Ling. β
"She's in Chang'an?"
"Yes."
Empress Zhao's eyes changed emotionally, and even the fingertips holding the cup were abnormally red.
Su Runmo observed her expression and said softly: "The idea of this seat is different from that of the Queen Mother and Lord Wu. This seat thinks that whether it is Xue Chengcheng or Xiao Tingchen, it is not important. The important thing is Emperor Yuan Xiao. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"As long as the emperor lives, any prince will have a chance to ascend to the throne, including Xiao Tingchen, of course. But as long as he dies violently, Yuan Xu, as the crown prince, is the rightful heir. Even if Niangniang doesn't want Yuan Xu to ascend the throne and wants to make your eighth prince Yuan Min the emperor, it is as easy as finding out for things. β
Empress Zhao sneered: "Su Guoshi has lurked in my Great Qi Dynasty for several years, you have a deep mind, and cooperating with you in this palace is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger." You told Bengong what your idea was when you came to Chang'an this time? β
"The mother is overrated." Su Runmo smiled gently, "What I plan is exactly what my mother needs." Isn't it good to have different paths to the same end and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results? I heard that in order to entertain the envoys of the Seven Kingdoms, the Ministry of Rites specially set up a banquet in the royal hunting ground. The hunting ground is vast and sparsely populated, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assassinate the emperor. β
Empress Zhao didn't respond to him immediately, just groaned.
Su Runmo smiled again, "Queen Mother, time is running out." Although the Zhao family has power in favor of the government and the opposition, it is weaker than the imperial power after all. Without Su's help, it will be difficult for you to kill the king in the future. β
The sun shines on the flower windows in late spring, and it is a fine weather.
The dormitory of Weiyang Palace was bleak and cold.
Empress Zhao sat in it, her delicate and gorgeous face hidden in a daze, making it impossible to see her expression.
The red lips opened and closed, and Su Runmo listened, smiling even more.
Seeing the unsavory conspiracy brewing in the temple, like a poisonous snake in the corner, spits red letters.
β¦β¦
Tai Chi Temple.
"Susu!" Zhou Baojin was as happy as a dog, and quickly pounced on Su Jiu, "You have become a concubine, it's so good!" Huahua will definitely be happy for you if she knows, and when the palace banquet is over, let's go to Liangzhou to resign and celebrate! β
Su Jiu smiled well.
But he saw Jin Shixing walking over slowly, and his expression was very complicated.
She expected that Jin Shixing and Xiao Tingchen had something to discuss, so she took Zhou Baojin and left the Taiji Palace.
Jin Shixing sat down cross-legged, lowered his eyes, and didn't even dare to look at Xiao Tingchen more.
After a long time, he tentatively said, "I heard that you have been poisoned, is it serious?" β
"I can't die."
"Oh."
Jin Shixing hesitated, and was reluctant to walk away, "I heard that the Gu poison antidote is complicated, except for the golden sand, what else do you lack, tell me that I will definitely find a way to get it." β
"The eleventh prince is polite."
Eleventh Prince......
Jin Shixing's eyes were even darker, "Back then, I had no way out, and I had no choice but to take the path that Su Runmo designed for me." You and Su Jiu don't care about me at all, I've been sitting in front of your door for so long, so long, but I can't see you! If it were you, Xiao Tingchen, if it were you, what would you do?! β
At the end of the day, he was in a lot of mood swings.
Xiao Tingchen took a sip of wine unhurriedly.
He said lightly: "I remember that when someone left Jinling, he threatened to cut off the brotherly relationship with me, and he didn't even want to drink my send-off wine...... Now that Baba is coming to me, what, is this what it means to reconcile with me? β
Jin Shixing turned his face away in embarrassment.
That's what he meant.
After staying in Beiliang for a few years, he is no longer the naΓ―ve boy he was back then.
He knew that Xiao Tingchen really regarded him as a brother.
He won't say that kind of angry talk before leaving.
But......
was said by Xiao Tingchen so unscrupulously, does he want to lose face?
He stiffened his temper, "It's not that I'm here to reconcile with you, I'm just afraid that you will die too early and make me have less fun!" β
"Oh, the eleventh prince came to me for revenge, revenge for not seeing you that night."
Jin Shixing: "......"
Annoyed, he simply got up and walked away.
Xiao Tingchen put the cup upside down on the table.
Su Runmo wanted Jin Shixing to ascend the throne as the king of Beiliang, and then use his hands to control Beiliang, and then change the situation in the world.
But Jin Shixing has a cheerful temperament since he was a child, so he is always immersed in hatred, and it is impossible for him to live for revenge.
After so many years, Su Runmo should also see Jin Shixing's true nature.
He could no longer use Jin Shixing, so he retreated to the second best thing about designing the Seven Empires.
What is his real purpose?
What did he want to do when he came to Chang'an?
