During this time, the Seventh Prince frequently entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but the emperor did not go a few times.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother, I don't know when, has undergone subtle changes, this is an obvious thing.

And the emperor was not born to the queen mother. So what did the emperor mean by saying this sentence just now?

"The old lady's two sons were her own, and she could give up the other for the sake of one of them. What if she loved both? The situation forced her to make a choice, and it was the most rational choice. It can't be said whether the old lady's choice is right or wrong, she has to make a choice under the general pattern that the whole family will starve to death. ”

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be talking to Mr. Yin.

Manager Yin didn't dare to answer, isn't this the Queen Mother? The emperor is saying, between the emperor and the seventh prince, how will the queen mother choose?

Whose mother doesn't want her own son? Mr. Yin roared secretly in his heart.

Could it be that the emperor is looking forward to the Queen Mother being able to make the most rational choice?

What happened between the emperor and the queen mother?

Mr. Yin didn't know anything, and he was confused. I didn't dare to say anything.

"Princess." Nighthawk came out of nowhere.

"What?"

"The previous incident of the poisoning of pastries in the Queen's Palace has been investigated."

"Say."

"The pastries in the queen's palace were poisoned, and the people around Concubine Li did it, strictly speaking, it was Concubine Li's brother, that is, the prime minister of the dynasty. The purpose is to make the concubine suspect that the queen really wants to harm her, so that the concubine will hate the queen. Let the queen and the concubine fight each other. ”

"Prime Minister? Is he here to vent his anger to Concubine Li? Could it be that the prime minister has found out that the person who caused Concubine Li's miscarriage that day was the queen's mother's family? ”

"The subordinates felt that they didn't have real evidence, just speculation. Even if the queen's people did not harm Concubine Li, Concubine Li's mother's family acted like this, which was only good for Concubine Li. ”

"Once the queen and the concubine fight, no matter which side wins or loses, it will be good for Concubine Li. If the queen and the concubine are both defeated, it will be a rare opportunity for Concubine Li. Nighthawk spoke.

"Since our people can find out the truth, presumably the emperor should already know the truth, right?" Chu Shuyao speculated.

"The queen's mother's family, the matter of dealing with Concubine Li, the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom didn't know, they did it very secretly. Our people just happened to see it. However, the matter of poisonous pastries in the queen's palace, although the eunuch is dead, but this matter is already full of loopholes, so the emperor of Tanglin will definitely investigate it. As for what the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom will do after finding out the truth, it is unknown. ”

"What you said is right, although the emperor values the father of the concubine, but compared to the emperor, it is also extremely important. So as long as the emperor needs the prime minister, and the prime minister has not touched the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will not turn things over again. Chu Shuyao asserted.

"How's going on in the West Chu Kingdom?"

There have been rumors in the Western Chu State that Meng Yichen is suspected of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and some people say that the assassination of the first emperor may be Meng Yichen's handiwork. And the previous princes killed each other, which was also instigated by Meng Yichen. Now in the court, some officials have stood in a line to resist Meng Yichen continuing to be the regent. ”

"All of a sudden, there are rumors, whose hand is this?"

"This rumor was not made by people from the Western Chu Kingdom, but it seems that the people of the Tanglin Kingdom deliberately spread it in the Western Chu Kingdom."

"If there is really a civil strife in the Western Chu Kingdom, the Tanglin Kingdom will attack in one fell swoop and take the Western Chu."

After Nighthawk finished speaking, Chu Shuyao fell into deep thought, and was silent for a long time before Chu Shuyao said, "So at this time, we must help Meng Yichen and stabilize the situation in the Western Chu Kingdom." ”

"But Princess—" Nighthawk disagreed.

"There's nothing to worry about, think about it yourself, besides Meng Yichen, is there anyone else who can stabilize the situation in the Western Chu Kingdom?"

Nighthawk had no choice but to reluctantly say, "My subordinates understand, and my subordinates will obey the princess's orders." ”

"Then what should the subordinates do next? The secret guards are in the Western Chu Kingdom, although the system is perfect, but they are not walking on the bright side, how to help Meng Yichen in the court? ”

"It's very simple, I only need to fix a book and tell the queen mother, so that the queen mother can fully support Meng Yichen. Then you can hand over the handles of those officials who oppose Meng Yichen collected by the secret guards to Meng Yichen. I believe that Meng Yichen will definitely seize the opportunity. ”

"Princess, are you sure you want to do this? If you do this, you will block the back road. If the princess and Meng Yichen reach the point of-for-tat, at that time, it will be even more difficult for the princess to bring down Meng Yichen. ”

"The people in the court who oppose Meng Yichen, once they all fall, the princess will be in the court, but there will be no one to use. In addition, the Queen Mother can't become a person who goes back on her word! ”

"I understand what you said, but that's the only way to do it now."

"Go for it!"

"I'm tired, you can step back first," Chu Shuyao said, sitting on the chair and slowly closing her eyes.

"Yes, the princess rests, and her subordinates retire." Regarding Chu Shuyao's plan, Nighthawk was helpless.

After Nighthawk left, Chu Shuyao slowly opened her eyes again.

She was also thinking, was she doing the right thing? If her father was really killed by Meng Yichen, would her father forgive her?

But in her heart, she always felt that Meng Yichen should not be so vicious.

A person can indeed pretend, pretend, and pretend for a lifetime?

As Chu Shuyao expected, the emperor did learn the truth about the drugging of pastries in the queen's palace.

But even if the emperor knew about it, he didn't make any moves.

However, the emperor did summon the prime minister, and he was alone in the imperial study and talked for a while.

I heard that when the Prime Minister came out of the imperial study, his face was covered with sweat.

But at this time, although the cold winter wax moon has passed, is it still cold? How can you sweat?

Manager Wang also asked more, and the Prime Minister only said that the hearth of this imperial study is warm, which is thousands of times stronger than the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was cold on the way here, and I wore too thick.

Mr. Wang also told the Prime Minister with concern that the Prime Minister must not be greedy for cold, and if he suddenly lost his clothes at this time, he would definitely be infected with the cold.

The Prime Minister didn't seem to hear the concerned instructions of the chief manager, and went out of the palace.

As soon as the prime minister left, Manager Yin pointed to Manager Wang and taught him a lesson. "You idiot."

Mr. Wang's confusion was also unrelenting to Mr. Yin's sudden sarcasm.

"What did I do wrong again? And thou hast taught me again? ”

"Think about it for yourself." Manager Yin said unceremoniously, and hurried to serve the emperor.

Mr. Wang is still confused, he just cares about the prime minister for a few words, is this also wrong?

After half a year, the Queen Mother finally received a letter from Chu Shuyao. Long ago, she had already learned the news of her daughter from the secret guard, although she couldn't meet her, but she was relieved to know that her daughter was safe.

Now when she saw the letter written by her daughter, the Queen Mother shed tears directly.

For the sake of the Western Chu State, his daughter was sent to Heqin, and on the way to Heqin, she was also framed by the Tanglin Kingdom, and finally had to make a fake death.

Now for the sake of the Western Chu Kingdom, he went to the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom and deigned to be the concubine of the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom.

It is said that people are not as good as their lives, and now she believes them. This daughter of mine is good in all aspects, but her fate is ill-fated, this is how many hardships she has encountered more than others!

The secret guard also specially told the Queen Mother, saying that after reading the letter, she would burn it directly, so that Meng Yichen could not see it, so that he could learn the news of the princess.

Although the Queen Mother responded, she was reluctant in the end. Now that my daughter can't see each other, it's good to have this handwritten letter as a consolation!

This night was the first time that the Queen Mother slept peacefully since Princess Yan left.

The next day's court of the Western Chu Kingdom was a change in the situation.

The regent, Meng Yichen, successively disposed of several officials who strongly opposed him.

And the evidence is conclusive, as if it has been plotted for a long time.

And some other officials who opposed Meng Yichen also withdrew from the team, and they were silent about Meng Yichen's administration.

At the same time, the Queen Mother, who has been in the harem, also stood up and said her decision to support Meng Yichen.

With the support of the Queen Mother, the people in the court were even more dissatisfied with Meng Yichen.

The Western Chu State was not only relieved of the worries of civil strife, but also became more solid. All the political power was held in the hands of Meng Yichen alone.

When Mu Lingxuan learned the news, he almost jumped to his feet in anger.

This Western Chu State, he has been thinking about it for a long time. Every time I seize the opportunity, suddenly it doesn't work, how to keep him from being in a hurry.

Now it is hopeless to attack the Western Chu State. The emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom quietly transferred back the 100,000 troops sent to the border.

The emperor will not be completely trusted by anyone, and only when the military power is in his own hands can he truly rest assured.

Meng Yichen of the Western Chu State is the best example.

The general, who once held the power of the army, became a veritable regent.

And Meng Yichen couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother wanted to help him.

After all, since the death of the first emperor, the queen mother has always suspected that the assassination of the first emperor was his handiwork. He and the Queen Mother once reached the point where water and fire were incompatible.

With doubts, Meng Yichen went to the palace of the Queen Mother.

Faced with Meng Yichen's question, the Queen Mother just sneered, "Meng Yichen, don't underestimate the mourning family." No matter how much power you have now, the emperor of the Western Chu State is still surnamed Chu, not Meng. ”

"The mourning family is doing this just to protect the Chu family. Avoiding the civil strife in the Western Chu State is also a responsibility to the people of the Western Chu State. ”

Meng Yichen's attitude was respectful, "Yes, the Queen Mother has the world in her heart, and Yichen admires it." The pattern and vision of the Queen Mother also made Yichen admire. ”
