Chapter 201: Confusion (Part II)

Even the queen mother's hook-like eyes couldn't see any disturbance on Sheng Xuanyuan's face, so he only heard him say coldly: "Why does the imperial grandmother always refer to the east and the west, so that people don't know the point." It's Dong Mingguang for a while, and what kind of witch is it for a while, is it just for me to call your grandson here today? Then I will not accompany you! He turned and left.

"Presumptuous! You stop! The Queen Mother shouted.

Sheng Xuanyuan was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to fly out at the right time.

The Queen Mother knew that she couldn't stop him, and it was inconvenient to call someone over, so she stood behind and hurriedly said: "Do you think that except for Lin Zhilan, others don't know what Gu poison is?" ”

Before the words fell, Sheng Xuanyuan really stood still, as if he had given someone a hard blow.

finally tried it, it seems that this Lin Zhilan is really his weakness. The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, and said: "Although this kind of poison is rare, it is not a rare thing in southern Xinjiang, and every household can raise it. But this is also strange, where did Lin Zhilan, a daughter raised in the boudoir, get this poison from? ”

"The imperial grandmother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I don't know where you learned about such a thing?" After all, Sheng Xuanyuan reacted quickly, and soon hit him again.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "This is thanks to you." On that day, you secretly sent someone to reveal the news that the emperor was going to conduct an autopsy to the mourning family, and the mourning family guessed that there must be a hidden secret. You and the Four Princes have always been incompatible, so what does it matter to you whether his body is damaged or not? If you think about it, I'm afraid that the Imperial Doctor Zhang will tell you what is on your mind! The mourning family wanted to discuss with you, but you couldn't push the illness, so the mourning family found the imperial doctor by themselves, and then learned about this witchcraft. I heard that the imperial doctor said that if you want to introduce this poisonous insect into your body, you need to use human blood as a guide. When he said this, it reminded the mourning family of one thing...... I think you remember that too. ”

Sheng Xuanyuan's face was already slightly pale. What the Queen Mother said was that time when Lin Zhilan was summoned to the palace and used her own blood to give Gu to the four princes in front of everyone. Now he was completely speechless. Even the wise can make mistakes. He tried his best to hide from the emperor, but he forgot that there was a queen mother who was secretly eyeing him.

"That Imperial Doctor Zhang has sent me to find a mistake, and it is impossible to find him again." The Queen Mother said lightly, "It's just that what the woman did that day, the emperor and the others were present to see it clearly, and it is hard to guarantee that there will not be a second or third Imperial Doctor Zhang in the future." With what you know about your father, once he realizes that it was you and the witch who did it, how do you think he will deal with it? ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's meaning is already very clear. Sheng Xuanyuan forcibly suppressed the palpitations in his heart and said: "I can't see that my grandmother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she can be so strategic, my grandson really admires it!" I just don't know what you want by doing so many things? ”

"Babble-" The Queen Mother pretended to be surprised and glared at her old eyes and said, "You kid, what are you talking about!" It's really a disappointing piece of the mourning family's hard work! Isn't it all about preserving you? Now that the reserve is about to be established, the mourning family will never allow any mistakes during this period. ”

Sheng Xuanyuan was naturally not naïve enough to think that his grandmother would think about him like this. He grew up in the cold eyes of everyone since he was a child, and he has long seen the warmth and coldness of people. Even though the Queen Mother treats him well, she is only passable on the surface, in contrast, the fourth prince is the most favored one. This is also human nature. Regardless of background, people with a good temperament can always be more pampered. And his gloomy and stubborn temperament is really difficult for people to get close to. But now that the four princes died because of him, the Queen Mother not only did not blame him, but did everything possible to cover it up, which is too strange.

The Queen Mother said again: "Everything is ready now, but the witch of the Lin family can't stay for a long time, so it's better to go to this big trouble quickly." As she spoke, a pair of sharp eyes stared at Sheng Xuanyuan, not letting go of the slightest change in the expression on the other party's face.

Sheng Xuanyuan just tightened his teeth and said, "You don't have to be like this, it will only be chilling to do this." After all, Lin Mubai's family is kind to the royal family. You won't forget, will you? That year, the White Lotus Sect Master was poisoned in the palace, if it weren't for the Lin family to come to the rescue, where would I be where my Sheng clan is today? ”

The Queen Mother rolled her flabby eyelids with an expression and said, "That's the duty of a courtier, and it's not a kindness." Lin Mubai's father and son should be reliable, but Lin Zhilan can't say for sure. Where can a woman's family hide such a big secret? Moreover, she is not in Jingshi, so she does not have to be as cautious as her father and brother, once the news leaks and reaches the emperor's ears, this matter will never be good. Yuan'er, his Lin family is full of beheading, and it doesn't matter about the mourning family. But you will be implicated by them......"

Sheng Xuanyuan has never bowed his head to anyone, but he was pinched by someone now, so he had to refrain from saying: "Then Lin Zhilan is the pearl of the Lin family, if you kill her, I am afraid that the Lin family will hold a grudge." Now that my father is not aware of it, let's wait and see what happens. Don't make a big move, but it's self-defeating. ”

"What? Do you still have her in your heart? ”

'No, not at all. ‘

"That's very easy. The mourning family saw that you have been estranged a lot from Lin Mubai and Lin Guanyun these days, very good, just continue like this. You don't have to worry about Lin Zhilan's affairs, the mourning family has its own calculations. Seeing that the thorn was soft, the Queen Mother was very comfortable, her face was also warm, and she said with a smile: "Alas, after talking about it for half a day, I forgot to mention it." In a few days, you will have a crown prince, and you will soon have to take a concubine. Do they have a favorite candidate in the brochure? ”

Sheng Xuanyuan was secretly thinking about how to get Zhilan out of danger, and suddenly heard the queen mother throw out the matter of the concubine, and couldn't help but be vigilant again, and said: "Grandson has always been busy, and he hasn't read those brochures carefully......"

The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, took his hand and said, "There are some unreal paintings on it, with a few words attached, no wonder you can't raise your mind." But this is also the rule of the palace, and it has been chosen this way from generation to generation. However, the mourning family also knows your temperament, after all, you are not a person who knows the roots, and it is always difficult to accept it from the bottom of your heart. Speaking of which, the mourning family remembered a suitable candidate. is the second daughter of Wen Yiliang's family, her name is Wen Qiaoqiao, and she is gentle and supple and has a good heart......"

Sheng Xuanyuan listened to it, but sneered in his heart. I see, it's for this to make such a big bend.

This Wen family is the queen mother's mother's family, and it has a very big background. The Queen Mother has been trying to support the Wen family for so many years, but the first emperor was strict with others, especially the harem concubines, and with the Queen Mother being a not very favored role at that time, it was simply wishful thinking to win a place for her family. Later, the first emperor died, and the queen mother finally raised her eyebrows, pressed the emperor as a mother, and successively won several important official positions for the Wen family, and for a time the Wen family became the most powerful family in the capital. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the young emperor soon supported his own power, although he did not openly fight against the empress dowager, but he installed his henchmen everywhere in the three divisions and six departments, and quietly hollowed out the power of the Wen family. By the time the Queen Mother and the Wen family reacted, it was too late. The emperor is in power, and he is no longer as good at talking as before. The Wen family has been fighting with the Queen Mother for a few years, but after all, the general trend has gone, and the Wen family has also suffered a major injury and collapsed. I thought that the Queen Mother had already died down and no longer interfered in political affairs, but I didn't want to wait for an opportunity! Now that he saw that the third prince was about to become the crown prince, he took the opportunity to insert a Wen family into it, and then he would be a stable queen, how shrewd this abacus was!

The Queen Mother said all the benefits of that Wen Qiaoqiao, and finally said: "...... The mourning family has also seen this ingenious birthday eight characters, which is very suitable for you, and I really can't find such a suitable person with a lantern! You tell me? ”

Sheng Xuanyuan had already turned ninety-nine eighty-one turns in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Since you are a person that grandmother is optimistic about, it must be wrong, and your grandson is all at your command." It's just that...... This prince and the big wedding are all happy events for the whole world, and even the prison has to stop forgiving people and criminals. The grandson knows that you have been kind all your life, eating fast and reciting Buddha, and killing Dong Mingguang this time is also a last resort, for which the grandson is grateful. So the people of the Lin family, don't touch them. "His meaning is very clear, if you want him to marry the young lady of the Wen family obediently? Yes, but you have to ensure the safety of the Lin family, otherwise everything is not negotiable.

Sheng Xuanyuan's reaction was already expected by the Queen Mother, she knocked and beat around such a big circle, isn't it just for this? But she was not in a hurry to express her position, and only said: "Is the mourning family the one who kills at will? I'm just worried that the woman is not very reliable. However, what you said is also very reasonable, this year is the year of stopping hooks, and we should indeed do good deeds and accumulate blessings. She pondered for a moment, frowned as if she had made up her mind, and said, "In that case, then do as you say." It's just that the people of the Lin family have to be careful at all times, and don't ask your father to find out any rumors. ”

Sheng Xuanyuan nodded yes.

Then the two chatted a little more, as if nothing had happened, but they were closer than before. Sheng Xuanyuan stayed in Cining Palace for a while, until he left later, and when he came out, it was already a moon star. He calmly returned to Yuqing Palace all the way, washed and went to bed as usual.

Two hours later, a black shadow flashed out of Yuqing Palace silently, skillfully avoiding a wave of guards patrolling the night, easily climbed out of the palace wall, and went straight to the Nalin Mansion.
