Zhou Jin fixed his mind and asked, "You just said that the matter of the Li family is the second time that the Queen Mother has done it?" ”

Zhuang Li nodded, "Counting the time after Prince Long'an was buried, it's the third time!" This is what the people of the Li family personally admitted, saying that the Queen Mother instructed them to do this! ”

Xu Shu once warned the Empress Dowager Fu that it was only three times, but it had already been three times, and then Xu Shu's revenge was delayed, Zhuang Li couldn't help but look at Zhou Jin, did Xu Shu really plan to do this? Judging from Zhou Jin's current appearance, if Xu Shu really planned to use Zhou Jin to take revenge on the Fu family and the Queen Mother, she would have at least half of the success.

But if she hurts a thousand enemies like this, she will also lose eight hundred, so why should she suffer?

Zhou Jin frowned, as if he felt something strange.

Seeing this, Zhuang Li hurriedly said, "You also think something is wrong, don't you?" According to the purpose of the Queen Mother's first two actions, she went straight to Xu Shu's life, but this time she took a lot of twists and turns, and it seemed that she only wanted to marry Xu Shu! ”

Zhou Jin bowed slightly, indeed, Empress Dowager Fu has always been ruthless in her work, and it is indeed not her style to act with such leeway, and there is another point that Zhou Jin has never been able to figure out.

"How did the Queen Mother get involved with the Li family? They never seem to have anything to do with each other! ”

Zhuang Li suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, he finally understood why Xu Shu would choose Zhou Jin instead of him, it turned out that Xu Shu and Zhou Jin were the same people, they both wanted to go to the same place, but he never thought that he was really not suitable for Xu Shu, and Xu Shu had never seen it better than him at this point.

"The Li family personally identified the Queen Mother as the mastermind, and it does not seem to be a fraud, which shows that at least in the eyes of the Li family, they are acting at the orders of the Queen Mother! But there is a crucial link missing in the middle, who pulled the Li family to set up this bureau, and who made the Li family think that all this was instigated by the Queen Mother! ”

If you can figure out the suspense in this, at least you can make Xu Shu hate Zhou Jin so much...... Zhuang Li thought so in his heart.

Zhou Jin nodded in agreement, Empress Dowager Fu has never used any forces other than the Fu family for so many years, just for fear of leaking the news and causing trouble, this time it is really unbelievable for the Li family to come forward, is it the Empress Dowager Fu deliberately colluded with the Li family in order to get rid of her suspicion? Or did someone use the Li family to assassinate Xu Shu in the name of Empress Dowager Fu?

"So afterwards, Xu Shu asked me to check on Master Gao!" In Zhou Jin's surprised eyes, Zhuang Li affirmed, "That's right, it's Gao Zhinan's father, the right minister Goldman Sachs!" ”

"And what did you find?"

Zhuang Li shook his head in disappointment, "There is no evidence pointing to Goldman Sachs, so from the current point of view, this matter has nothing to do with Goldman Sachs for the time being!" But from the perspective of interests, except for Xu Shu, he is the one who benefits the most, he has full motivation, but there is no evidence to prove that he did it! ”

"He's not the one who benefits the most!" Zhou Jin suddenly sneered, "You go back to Jingyuan and wait for me, I'll go to Taichang Palace first!" ”

"You're not going back to Pingning Palace?" Surprised, Zhuang Li suddenly forgot the honorific title, what did Zhou Jin do in Jingyuan?

Zhou Jin didn't answer, and went straight to Taichang Palace.

"Sons see the queen mother!"

Zhou Jin can finally come to see Empress Dowager Fu openly, but now the mood of the two of them is different from before.

Empress Dowager Fu stared at Zhou Jin's face for a long time, but she couldn't see anything unusual, but it was precisely because she couldn't see anything that she was extremely worried in her heart, "You...... You're back...... They are all thin, and the march and war are really bitter! ”

Looking at Zhou Jin's obviously thinned face, Empress Dowager Fu still felt distressed, even if there was a suspicion, but after all, it was her son who was raised by her and worried for more than ten years, and her love was also melted into her bones.

"I heard from the chamberlain, the queen mother waited for her sons all day, but the sons returned to the capital, and they were busy rectifying military affairs.

"You're busy with serious business, just go and get busy! You've done a great job this time! Empress Dowager Fu showed a pleased smile, this time Zhou Jin came back with military merits, and he was deeply loved by the soldiers and the people, and the position of the prince was firmly seated.

"There is the commander of the mighty marquis, and the sons are just following the light, and if it weren't for the stalemate between the mighty marquis and southern Xinjiang a few years ago, which consumed most of the troops of the tribes, the sons of the ministers would not have subdued the tribes so quickly this time!"

"That's why you went to the battlefield with the dignity of the prince to boost your morale so quickly to quell the war!"

Zhou Jin didn't mention Xu Shu as soon as he opened his mouth, but talked about going south to fight, which made Empress Dowager Fu breathe a sigh of relief, but this tone was not completely relaxed, so she heard Zhou Jin say again, "I just heard from the chamberlain that the queen mother came to her sons to discuss the selection of the crown princess!" ”

Empress Dowager Fu's heart jumped, and she didn't dare to look at Zhou Jin's eyes, "Yes...... I didn't want to be in such a hurry, but there are still many female dependents in the palace back house, and if the name is not right, it is appropriate to divide a concubine to respect and humble, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is advisable to quickly settle this matter! ”

Zhou Jin nodded, "What the queen mother said makes sense, the son is not young, it's time to marry a wife and have children!" Speaking of giving birth, Zhou Jin couldn't help but think of what Zhuang Li had just said that Mr. Qin mistakenly thought that Xu Shu had his flesh and bones, if it was true...... Zhou Jin couldn't help but have a smile on his face that he didn't even notice.

Seeing that Zhou Jin didn't seem to be disgusted by this matter, Empress Dowager Fu pondered and said, "You have just left Beijing, and the capital has its own calculations for your marriage, my uncle thinks that the Gao family's concubine Gao is dignified and skillful, generous and decent, and her father is in the position of the right minister, half a step higher than your uncle, but it can be of great use, and the Gao family is the crown princess, and their father and daughter can assist you wholeheartedly, I don't know what you want?" ”

"Son......" Zhou Jin was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "My son thinks that the ninth daughter of the Zheng family is more suitable!" ”

finally mentioned Xu Shu!

What should come is always coming!

The Queen Mother's heart rose to her throat again, "But ...... But the Zheng family is the emperor's people, and the Zheng family is loyal to the emperor, so it is difficult for you to use it, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate! ”

"It is precisely because the Zheng family is the emperor's person that it is more suitable! Now that Lord Gao is on the side of Erchen, it doesn't matter whether he stands up to the Gao family or not, but the Zheng family is different, if it doesn't give the Zheng family some benefits, how can it be willing to go to Erchen? ”

"You...... Do you really think so? Hearing Zhou Jin say this, it seems that he only uses Xu Shu as a tool to win over the Zheng family, which can't help but make Empress Dowager Fu hesitate a little, what are Zhou Jin's words sincere?

Zhou Jin smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter what Erchen thinks, the important thing is that this position belongs to her!" ”
