The prince, the fifth prince, don't embarrass the slaves, since the two of them have come out, it is better to go to the Yangxin Palace in person and serve the dragon couch, presumably the emperor will be happy. Liu Xian nodded indifferently and threw all the trouble away.

When Zhong Qiyu and Zhong Dingxi heard this, the two of them knew that they couldn't ask anything from Liu Xian, so they hurriedly walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this moment, the gate of Kyoto City came by riding in the dust, and the people on both sides of the street hid in one place, fleeing for their lives, looking at the people who were flying away, with a look of suspicion.

Arriving at the palace gate, the person who came showed the waist card in his hand, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the door made way for a smooth road, and the person who came galloped through.

On the long corridor leading to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhong Qiyu and Zhong Dingxi did not lag behind anyone before turning the corner, and three noble women walked opposite.

One of them, less than forty years old, was wearing a red Luo long skirt inside, a big red large-sleeved shirt on the outside, embroidered with a phoenix pattern, a phoenix bead gold crown, a dignified face, slightly decorated, graceful and elegant, a pair of full eyes, slightly majestic, but with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, it was the queen.

The one on the left, a few years younger than the queen, is wearing a purple wide-mouth tunic dress, revealing a snow-white and protruding collarbone, the hem is like a scattered flower, swaying on the ground, when walking, the waist sways slightly, looking graceful, wearing a colorful golden hairpin, hanging tassels, also swaying, she has a pointed face, a high forehead, a slightly narrow chin, eyes with a fine light, the tail of the eyes is slightly elongated, it seems more cold, it is Huang Guifei.

The person on the right, who is about the same age as Huang Guifei, is wearing a blue narrow sleeved long skirt, there is not too much embellishment on the skirt, it is simple, hanging down, just covering the upper of the shoe, her hair is only pulled up with a hosta, it looks simple and elegant, fresh and refined, a pair of eyes are gentle like water, affectionate, gentle and elegant, under the backdrop of two gorgeous women, it has not been pressed down, but it seems to stand out more, this person is Concubine De.

The three of them talked and laughed, harmoniously and politely, as if they were a family.

Zhong Qiyu and Zhong Dingxi saw the two of them and greeted them.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Zhong Qiyu bowed to the woman in the middle.

"See the queen, Huang Guifei, and mother concubine." Zhong Dingxi saw the three of them and saluted one by one.

Seeing other people's sons saluting herself, Huang Guifei was indescribably jealous, other people's sons could be around, but her own son got the remote Guzhou, in the palace, there was no one to speak, let alone support, so she could only do it step by herself.

"Prince, where are you going?" When the queen saw Zhong Qiyu, she had a kind smile on her face, and her face was full of a motherly smile, and the concubine who looked at it could only sulk.

"The son heard that his father was in slightly ill health, and he was planning to visit the Heart Cultivation Palace." Zhong Qiyu replied, and when he saw the queen, he suddenly felt like he had a backer, "I don't know where the queen mother, the concubine and the concubine are going?" ”

"We're also going to the Heart Cultivation Palace." The queen didn't say much, and she didn't explain whether she had heard that the emperor was not in good health, otherwise, wouldn't it expose the eyeliner placed next to the emperor.

"I see, the queen mother, the sons have some trivial things, I don't understand, I want to ask the queen mother what she means." The meaning of Zhong Qiyu's words is naturally to discuss with the queen alone.

The people standing here are all people who have cultivated to perfection, how can there be a truth that they don't understand, it's just that some people are not so easy to get along with.

"Since it's a trivial matter, can't the prince make up his mind?" The concubine's words were plain and bland, but with thorns.

"The prince's trivial matter, if it is placed outside, it is a big matter, my sister shouldn't even be able to hear the humble words, right?" As soon as the concubine spoke, the queen had absolutely no reason to be silent.

"Sister, since the prince is a major matter, he should discuss it with the emperor, if he is looking for you, can my sister afford it if he is in politics in the harem?" The concubine is not an ordinary character, and her words are sharp.

"Sister, haven't you heard that the emperor is in poor health, how can you disturb the emperor in everything, besides, I naturally can't interfere in political affairs, but it's not a matter of government affairs, our mother and son talk about themselves, can't I still interfere." The queen smiled lukewarmly, "Hey, it's no wonder, my sister doesn't know what it's like to have her son by her side, although her son is not as intimate as her daughter, but she is also her own child no matter how she says it, even if she only talks occasionally, it is also a comfort." ”

When the concubine heard this, her expression changed.

It was a thorn in her heart, and every time she mentioned it, the thorn pierced deep.

"Queen, this is wrong, the seventh brother is not by the side of the concubine, but I treat the concubine as my own mother." Zhong Dingxi and Zhong Jichao had private dealings, and the concubine naturally knew that this time Li Tang matter, it was Zhong Jichao who revealed the news to him, so that he could successfully seize the handle of the prince, in the palace, Zhong Dingxi naturally maintained the concubine, although the concubine was more clear, Zhong Jichao just wanted to use Zhong Dingxi's hand to get rid of Zhong Qiyu.

"Dingxi, how sad it should be for Concubine De to hear this." treats other people's mothers as their own mothers in front of their own mothers, and no mother will feel good in her heart when she hears it.

"Sister shouldn't want to sow discord, is it my sister who advises you to save your worries, Concubine De won't worry about these little things." The concubine doesn't want to defend Concubine De, she just doesn't want to let the queen take the limelight in everything, and Concubine De has always been magnanimous, so she really doesn't care about it, and she doesn't rob other people's sons.

"It seems that the concubine can only talk about other people's sons for comfort." The queen didn't take Zhong Dingxi in her eyes at all.

"Heh, then my sister hopes that my sister hasn't made a mistake, and once she makes a mistake, my sister doesn't seem to have any backing, right? It's not right, at least my sister has a nephew who is a royal guard, but it's not a backer. The concubine picked out the words in the open, mocking the queen for not having any power.

"Sister, don't think you can sit back and relax, the commander of the Praetorian Guard is not a general after all, even if he has military power, he may not be able to hold it firmly." The queen warned with a smile.

"Queen, the position of the crown prince may not be as stable as a mountain, even if the father wants to help the second brother of the prince in everything, there will be a bottom line, by the way, you are also worried about your queen's position." Zhong Dingxi held Zhong Qiyu's handle in his hand, and naturally dared to say anything.

When Zhong Qiyu heard it, he was sure that it was everything that Zhong Dingxi planned behind his back, and Zhong Jichao couldn't get rid of it, but he couldn't interject.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the concubine and Zhong Dingxi, the queen realized that her son was abnormal, as if something big had happened.

"Then let's see." The queen didn't want to spend more time with a few people, and she also wanted to ask Zhong Qiyu what happened, so she said, "Sister, our mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk casually, take the first step, a few people at will." ”

The queen looked like a host, declaring her lofty status, she stepped forward, left the two on the left and the right, and left with the prince, and also took away the accompanying palace maids and chamberlains.

"Hmph." The concubine snorted coldly, see how long you can be proud.

From beginning to end, Concubine De didn't say a word, just stood silently, silent.

I don't know, I thought Zhong Dingxi was the son of the concubine, not the son of Concubine De.

"Dingxi, let's go over too, we can't be half a step behind them." The concubine is also energetic, and everything can't be left behind the queen.

Zhong Dingxi nodded, and the three of them also took the people behind them to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Suddenly, the two factions went their own way, and they were clearly distinguished.

"What did you say?" The queen who was walking in front, after listening to Zhong Qiyu's words, stopped suddenly, and she slightly signaled the personal palace maid Yew beside her with her eyes, Yew understood, so that the palace maid and the chamberlain behind avoided it slightly.

The queen and Zhong Qiyu stood in the corridor that extended in all directions, front and back, with a wide line of sight and an unobstructed view.

"Queen Mother, you also know about this back then, and it is tacit, my father handed over the task of building the palace to his sons, in order to win over Li Tang and them, we jointly lied about the scale of the palace built that year, and my father approved the increase in financial investment, I thought that this matter was over, and Li Tang would not record this matter and fall into the hands of others, who knows how he even distributes the silver and whose pockets it entered, he remembers it clearly, if this matter is known by his father, his father will definitely ask the teacher." Only then did Zhong Qiyu become worried.

"Li Tang is threatening you with this matter?" Only then did the queen understand why Zhong Dingxi was fearless.

Zhong Qiyu nodded.

"He is in a catastrophe, even if he has one more serious crime, the end is certain death." The Queen's eyes kept turning, as if she was thinking of a solution.

"Therefore, Erchen couldn't save him, and there was no other way, so he had the intention of killing him, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating." Zhong Qiyu knocked on the red pillar in a circle, angry and ruined.

"Presumably he was out of the way, and he wanted to pull you as a backing when he was dying, but now that the matter has been revealed, Li Tang will definitely confess this, and you must not let him drag him into the water." The queen is naturally in the same boat as Zhong Qiyu, if the crown prince is not protected, can the queen's position be stable?

"Erchen also knows, but what are you going to do now?" Zhong Qiyu was so anxious that he couldn't calm down.

"Prince, the more this time, the more you must be calm and calm, and you can't mess with yourself, otherwise, how can you deal with their tricks." Compared with Zhong Qiyu's panic, the queen was obviously much calmer, after all, she had been rolling in the treacherous palace for so many years, and her bearing was extraordinary.

"Erchen wants to do it too, but what should I do?" Before there was no way to deal with it, Zhong Qiyu couldn't calm down if he wanted to, which was related to his position as the crown prince.

The queen's ten fingers overlapped, and a layer of warm sweat gradually appeared in her palms: "Li Tang really can't stay." ”

"Erchen has also thought about it, but the problem is that Li Tang is still alive, and now that the fifth brother is interfering in this matter, it is impossible to kill him." Zhong Qiyu immediately denied the queen's approach, "Now the fifth brother must have my handle in his hands, this matter must not be stabbed to his father, the top priority is to take back the evidence from the fifth brother's hands and destroy it." ”

"Prince, in the last dynasty today, the five princes must want to hand over the evidence to the emperor, but now that the emperor is sick, he just gave us a chance." The queen's eyebrows swept away the kindness of Fang Cai, revealing eyes that were colder than the concubine.

"What chance?" Zhong Qiyu asked, looking impatient.

"The evidence of the five princes must be with him, since the emperor is ill today, he will not accept the matter, so he can only find an opportunity to destroy all the evidence when the five princes present it." The queen is resolute.

"What is the Queen Mother going to do?"

If you want to destroy Zhong Dingxi's evidence in the palace, it is difficult to reach the sky, and Zhong Qiyu has not thought about it, but he just knows how to destroy it without knowing it.

"What is the weakness of the five princes, then start from what." The queen's gaze looked coldly ahead.

Zhong Qiyu thought about it, suddenly realized, and blurted out two words: "Woman." ”

"Yes, it's a woman, in his palace, if there is some beauty, there must be no woman who has not been played, even if it is an inferior maid, there is no exception." Although the queen is in the palace all the year round and only governs the affairs of the harem, if she only stares at the harem like a wolf and a tiger, it is called visionless.

"It's just that it's not easy to find a woman who interests the fifth brother now." Zhong Qiyu knows that Zhong Dingxi has always been romantic, whether it is a palace maid in the palace or a fireworks woman in the Qinglou, she has not been teasing less, so Yan is thin and fat, and she has long been used to it, and now at this juncture, what peerless woman can be found that can make Zhong Dingxi relax her vigilance?

"Isn't there a guy next to you?" The queen reminded.

"Who?" Zhong Qiyu thought slightly, beside him, there were only people who were as beautiful as flowers, "The queen mother refers to her sons...... Concubine Qin Jingshu? ”

The queen shook her head: "Qin Jingshu is certainly beautiful, but she is your person after all, and she is also scheming, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind, and the queen mother doesn't want to appear Li Tang again." ”

"Who does the queen mother refer to?" Zhong Qiyu really couldn't figure out who else around him could be compared to Qin Jingshu.

"Doesn't the prime minister have an unfavored little daughter hidden in the boudoir?" The queen directly provoked, "Why, so quickly forgot the person who replaced Qin Jingshu in the sedan chair and didn't delay the auspicious time?" ”

"What do you mean ......" Under the queen's reminder, Zhong Qiyu suddenly thought, "Qin Wanyi's sister Qin Suyue? ”

"Yes, Qin Suyue lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, presumably few people have seen her, since Qin Wanyi had the appearance of captivating the country and the city before her disfigurement, it makes no sense where the sister from the same mother will go." The queen said, "When you took the crown prince's side concubine, you should have seen it." ”

"She looks better than those vulgar fans, but it's a little smaller, if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been able to take her as a concubine, Erchen had also planned to accept her as a concubine." Zhong Qiyu's words can be regarded as indirectly affirming Qin Suyue's appearance, and he can be a person in the eyes of the prince, not much worse.

"What's this, the new show girls every year, are they all in time?" The queen's eyes did not have much resentment, as if she had already seen that in this palace, only status and power were the strongest.

However, Zhong Qiyu still had some concerns: "But Qin Suyue is the prime minister's daughter after all, and she is also Qin Wanyi's sister, if they know about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." ”
