Chapter 204: Suspicion Root Secret Seed (II)

In the box on the second floor, the two gentlemen and ministers sat and drank tea opposite each other, but they were silent and thoughtful.

The emperor has long known that his mother is not simple, which can be seen from some faint gossip in his early years. If she hadn't done anything to a few imperial concubines at that time, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sit on the throne today. According to the old people in the palace, the White Lotus Sect Leader who was arrested a few years ago was a framed imperial concubine back then, and she was so desperate for revenge. Regarding these, my late father is probably not ignorant, otherwise he would not be so defensive in the affairs of the Wen family.

At present, Dong Mingguang's poisoning of the four princes is a real thing, since the queen mother killed Dong Mingguang, she wants to kill her, so it can be seen that she is the mastermind behind the affairs of the four princes. However, it may be difficult to say that the Queen Mother poisoned the sons of the former emperor. can be said that she attacked the four princes, which is too unconvincing. Tiger poison doesn't eat children, not to mention that this is his own grandson!

Could it be that someone deliberately framed him? The emperor's eyes flashed and swept past Lin Mubai. But almost instantly, I dispelled this idea. Whoever wants to frame someone must always profit from it. For now, no one has the courage to frame the Queen Mother, and no one can profit from it, except for the Queen Mother herself. What's more, the guards in her own palace died violently in vain, and the corpse was quietly sent out to be burned, it was impossible for her not to know about it, but she always kept silent, obviously deliberately concealing it.

If that's the case, you'll have to take a good inventory of the people around you. How could the news of such a confidential matter of arresting Dong Mingguang leak out in less than a few hours? Could it be that for so many years, the Queen Mother has been well aware of her actions? No wonder Lin Mubai insisted on letting himself go out of the palace this time, and he couldn't bring a personal eunuch, maybe he had already noticed this.

But what did the Queen Mother do this for? Could it be that she is not dead set and wants the Wen family to control the government? Even so, there is no need to be so ruthless! Or...... She is to support the third child, so that the Wen family can coerce the Son of Heaven in the future to order the princes? It's also not very credible. The third prince is stoic, perverse and evil, and is not a role to be controlled by others at all. If she has such a purpose, it should also support the fourth prince or the second prince.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he went around in a big circle, almost everyone into it. He couldn't help but clench the teacup in his hand irritably, with the intention of crushing it alive.

At this time, Lin Mubai had a different mind. The Queen Mother has already pinched the handle of the Lin family, and it is not difficult to seal her mouth, as long as the three princes cooperate well. The most troublesome thing at the moment is that the emperor is holding the four princes to death endlessly, even if the queen mother's mouth is blocked, as long as the emperor is willing to investigate, he will still climb out of the Lin family after all. Rather than being so scared, it's better to make a gamble. The emperor has always ruled the world with courtesy, and he pays the most attention to filial piety, and if the queen mother is moved out, it is possible for him to have scruples, and finally stop this endless inventory calculation. As for the Queen Mother herself, as long as the third prince is willing to cooperate with her, she will naturally not betray him easily.

When he proposed this idea that night, he was unanimously opposed by the three princes and Guanyun, and even Gu Songyun and Guanfeng, who had always been bold, did not support it. Of course, he knew it was a risk, but with what he knew about the emperor, the move was still worth a try.

Although today's situation was something he had already thought about, he still felt tremendous pressure in the face of the silent emperor at this moment. I wonder what this unfathomable son of heaven is thinking? Is it following your own guided train of thought? Or is there something already suspected?

On the day of the cold winter wax moon, Lin Mubai was sweaty and heavy.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside, which alarmed two people with different minds and broke the almost stagnant air in the room.

Lin Mubai glanced out, and said with a reluctant smile: "It must be a child in a family who is in a hurry, and he will start setting off firecrackers at this hour." ”

The emperor still did not respond, only brought the cold tea to his mouth and drank it all.

Lin Mubai thought about it, if he continued to consume like this, he would not be able to find the emperor in the palace, and it would be a big trouble, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, Dong Mingguang ......"

At this moment, the emperor also spoke: "Dong Mingguang's crime ......"

The two of them talked at the same time, but they said the same thing, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, and the heavy atmosphere of Fang Cai also dissipated a lot.

The emperor said first: "Tell me, what are you going to do about his charges?" ”

Lin Mubai's heart was relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. Since the emperor said so, he wanted to stop here at Dong Mingguang. It seems that he still played the right game with this risky move.

The emperor and Lin Mubai were strategizing in the teahouse outside the palace, and the palace was naturally not idle. No, a few guests have just been sent off in Cining Palace. In addition to a few Mrs. Wen who came to ask for peace, there were also Mrs. Wen and the second lady Wen Qiaoqiao, who came from the Empress Dowager's maiden family, Wen Qiaoqiao.

When their figures gradually disappeared into the corridor in the distance, the Queen Mother said, "Come out, everyone is gone." As she spoke, she was carried up and down in the hall by the maid, looking a little tired, but in a good mood.

A young man walked out from behind the screen, it was Sheng Xuanyuan.

"You've been in that nook and nook place for so long, haven't you suffocated?" The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How is it?" But take a closer look? ”

"The person you like will not be wrong." Sheng Xuanyuan stepped forward and hugged the Queen Mother, and said respectfully.

"What's the use of just looking good at the mourners? You have to like it. This child has a simple and well-behaved temperament, behaves generously and decently, looks beautiful and beautiful, and the eight characters of his birthday are so compatible with you. The mourning family has seen so many girls, and no one is more suitable than her! You tell me? ”

Sheng Xuanyuan nodded and said, "When you mentioned this Qiaoqiao girl that day, your grandson was still a little reluctant, but when I saw it today, I realized that what you said was true." Or do you look at people, and your grandson sighs to himself. ”

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said, "In this case, you will find a time to give this matter to your father, and if you should be hired, you should be hired as soon as possible." She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said again: "Such a good girl, if you don't book it early, it's too late!" ”

Sheng Xuanyuan's eyes darkened, as if he had been stabbed in his heart, and then he picked up a smile and said, "What you said is that Sun Er will give this matter to his father as soon as possible." ”
