Stand down, all of you! Don't disturb Master's tranquility. ”

Xie Mingxi gave an order, and a bunch of uneasy naughty bags honestly withdrew. tiptoed one by one, lest the slightest movement would make Xie Mingxi unhappy.

Gu Shanchang was amused and laughed, and his mood that had been gloomy and obscure for several days became a little clearer: "They are still young, what are you doing to scare them with a strained face." ”

Xie Mingxi blinked, revealing a narrow smile: "Otherwise, how can they stop honestly." ”

Disciplining a bunch of children of half age is not an easy task. The jade is not cut into a device, the force is too light, it is not painful or itchy, and the force is too heavy, which will make the children dissatisfied, and it is easy to cause future troubles.

Among them, Xie Mingxi took a lot of effort.

The effect is also obvious.

Several children, always exceptionally well-behaved and honest in front of her.

Gu Shanchang glanced at Xie Mingxi with a smile: "Yes, yes, the queen has a heart." ”

Master finally had a smile, Xie Mingxi also felt relieved in his heart, and said softly, "Master has to get better soon." As soon as Master is sick, my heart will be restless. ”

No matter how strong a person is, he has weaknesses. Gu Shanchang is the softest place in Xie Mingxi's heart.

There was a hint of warmth in Gu Shanchang's eyes: "I have already improved, and I will be able to recover in a few days." You can kneel in the mourning hall with peace of mind, and don't always worry about coming back to see me. It's always bad to fall into the mouth. ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "Master, don't worry. Either way, no one will be secretly criticizing the tongue. I will only praise the emperor and me, the queen, for their kindness. ”

There is something in the words.

Gu Shanchang was secretly frightened, and blurted out: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that the death of the Queen Mother has another inside story? ”

Xie Mingxi nodded slightly, and then talked about the events of the day one by one.

Gu Shanchang was shocked when he heard this, and his complexion quickly changed, and the anger in his eyes accumulated little by little.

She really hated and hated Emperor Jianwen, who was obsessed with beauty and turned her back on the affection of husband and wife. But she never expected that Empress Dowager Yu would hate out of love and use conspiracy to build Emperor Wen......

"It's more than innocent to die!" Gu Shanchang was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body trembled, and he whispered angrily: "It's really innocent!" ”

Xie Mingxi took over the conversation with a faint expression: "This matter is detrimental to the dignity of the Heavenly Family, and it is also detrimental to the dignity of the first emperor, and it can be called a royal scandal." The emperor and I didn't want to have any more twists and turns, so we tried our best to suppress the matter. ”

"The only people who know the inside story are the prince of Fenyang and the princes and princes. Several cabinet elders have also read the testimony of the envoy of Zhao. ”

……

In other words, although there is no hype, everyone who should know knows the inside story.

has no weight, dare not criticize the emperor and queen.

Those who are slightly qualified to judge the behavior of the emperor and queen will only praise the emperor for his kindness, and he is willing to cover up the scandal for the Empress Dowager Yu, which makes the mother-in-law mourn.

But what is the benefit of doing so for the emperor and queen?

Gu Shanchang raised his head and stared at Xie Mingxi, who looked confident and calm. A vague thought came to my mind, and it gradually became clear.

"Mingxi," Gu Shanchang was shocked by this speculation, and his voice trembled slightly: "You are doing this just to keep your mother's filial piety for another three years?" ”

Xie Mingxi neither admitted nor refuted, but asked with a casual smile: "How could Master think like this?" ”

And so it was.

The emperor wanted to keep the filial piety period for another three years.

But why?

The more Gu Shanchang thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor's move was of great significance. The conjecture that had been suppressed in the bottom of my heart also jumped into my heart.

Gu Shanchang looked at Xie Mingxi in disbelief, and tried his best to lower his voice: "Mingxi, you and Sheng Hong...... Do you want Ah Luo to be the empress dowager and become the empress of Qi in the future? ”

This conjecture is by no means unique to the past two days.

For more than a year, Gu Shanchang witnessed Sheng Hong Xie Mingxi's careful teaching of A Luo. The empress invested far more effort in Ah Luo than she cared for a princess who was destined to be honored.

The emperor's expectations for Ah Luo are obviously not limited to this.

Gu Shanchang had doubts in his heart, but he never asked. Because such a thought is really shocking. Not to mention that the officials and ministers of the royal family can't accept it, even the people of the whole world will also be in turmoil because of this.

The concept of inheriting the family business has long been ingrained. It is a secular convention, a standard that everyone is accustomed to.

To break the conventional norms, it is more difficult to expect than to change the day.

Xie Mingxi glanced at Gu Shanchang deeply, and responded with a short word: "Yes." ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"

Gu Shanchang's expression changed uncertainly, and his gaze was extremely complicated. There are shocks, exclamations, sighs, excitement, relief, uneasiness, and hesitation.

Many chaotic and complex emotions were intertwined, and she was speechless for a long time.

Xie Mingxi didn't rush to say anything more, and stood aside calmly.

There was complete silence in the dormitory.

After a long time, Gu Shanchang opened his mouth again, breaking the silence: "Mingxi, have you ever thought about it." What kind of predicament will you and Sheng Hong face if you do this? What thorns and bumps will Ah Luo face? ”

"Have you ever thought that you would be opposed to the court officials because of this matter, and the princes and princes who once firmly supported you would also have different hearts."

"Perhaps, Daqi will fall into infighting because of this......"

"It's a thorny road that no one has ever walked before. You husband and wife, have you thought about this? ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and his voice was still calm and calm: "Of course we have thought about these difficulties and obstacles that Master said. ”

"It's just that we have all made up our minds to do what our predecessors have not done and create a precedent for Daqi. No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we husband and wife can always overcome it when we work together as a couple. ”

"As for Arlo, she is our only daughter. She is the most noble princess of Daqi, and she will also be the future princess of Daqi. She is a unique girl in the world, and she enjoys the honor that others do not have, so she naturally has to pay more than others. ”

"I know that Master has been suspicious for a long time, but he has never asked. Today, since Master has asked, I will tell you the truth. I also hope to receive Master's wholehearted praise and support. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shanchang's mood was agitated, his heart was surging, and it was difficult to calm down.

Gu Shanchang blurted out without thinking: "Of course Master will support you wholeheartedly!" ”

Xie Mingxi's heart swelled with warmth.

If it were someone else, she would never tell such an astonishing secret. Even Xie Jun is here, and she can't say a word.

As Gu Shanchang said, her and Sheng Hong's ambition will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. The reaction of the officials of the DPRK and China can be imagined.

In this world, only Master will stand by her side without hesitation and fully support all her decisions!
