Chapter 189: The Emperor Tempted Again
Concubine Su's eyes were sharp, and she raised her head and said angrily, "Don't compare this palace with you." ”
She Lianhua's body trembled when she was looked at by Concubine Su's sharp eyes, and she didn't dare to speak again.
"She Lianhua, you are not small, you are not small, you threaten our sisters." Red Sleeves slowly got up and walked up to She Lianhua and questioned her with a dangerous gaze.
"How dare you, I just want to do something for the Holy Lord and the two mothers, I hope you don't dislike it." She Lianhua knelt in front of Concubine Su and Concubine Hong, her attitude was very loyal, and her words were pleading.
Concubine Su sneered at the corner of her mouth, "In the future, you will be the steward of my Changle Palace, the first thing you have to do now is to ask the fifth prince to find Wei Xun's body?" ”
"Lotus understands." She Lianhua was ordered to leave Changle Palace immediately.
Red Sleeves looked at She Lianhua's departing figure and cautiously asked the people around her, "Senior sister, do you really believe that she will be obediently used by us?" ”
"At least she can't make any waves now, besides, the emperor also very much wants to get the matter of the Holy Netherworld Sect from her mouth, isn't she using the secrets of the Holy Netherworld Sect to achieve freedom with the emperor." Concubine Su wasn't worried that she would betray herself.
"The emperor is busy enough, while worrying about Wei Qianlan, he still wants to get the Heavenly Fortune Dragon Vein, and now he is attracted by the Holy Netherworld Sect?" Red Sleeves didn't understand the emperor's intentions for a moment.
Concubine Su sneered and sobered up, "If I'm not mistaken, the emperor probably knows their secret identity, or She Lianhua has exchanged what she knows with the emperor to live." ”
"I see, I thought the emperor let her go because of your request, senior sister." Red Sleeves finally understood the patience behind the emperor.
Concubine Su looked calm and unimpressed, she didn't care about the emperor at all now.
Red Sleeves seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother will return to the palace tomorrow." ”
Concubine Su also heard about this, "Come back, come back, I believe that the old woman can't make any tricks, after all, the Situ family is now."
It's a place to survive. ”
Red Sleeves nodded in response, "That's what Senior Sister said." ”
Day 2.
The emperor, the fourth and fifth princes, Concubine Tong, Concubine Su, Concubine Hong and other concubines gathered in Kunruo Palace to welcome the return of the Queen Mother.
Of course, the Lan Wang couple also came.
The Queen Mother glanced at a room of people, and her attitude was quite calm, but when she looked at Concubine Su, a trace of displeasure obviously flashed, "Haven't you prepared for the funeral of the eleventh prince yet?" ”
"Not yet." The emperor glanced at the five princes and answered the queen mother's inquiry.
The fifth prince, Wei Luofeng, walked in front of the Queen Mother, "I'm sorry for the imperial grandmother, the grandson is incompetent, and he hasn't found the body of the eleventh imperial brother so far, so he will keep putting it on hold." ”
I thought that the Queen Mother would be angry, but she didn't get angry, but comforted the fifth prince, "It's okay, your father can't help it, don't blame yourself." ”
"Thank you for your understanding." Wei Luofeng didn't expect Grandma Huang to be so calm and didn't blame him.
Concubine Su's face was obviously angry because of the Queen Mother's words, but she didn't speak, and watched coldly.
The emperor saw the atmosphere between Concubine Su and the Queen Mother, and immediately spoke, "Queen Mother, I have already searched for the matter of Eleven, and I must find the body no matter what." ”
"Well, that's good." After speaking, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Su again, "Concubine Su, don't be sad, maybe this is fate." ”
Concubine Su listened to the Queen Mother's words, although she seemed to be comforting her, but she knew that the Queen Mother's psychology must be laughing at her proudly, but she had to stay calm, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, the only wish of the concubine fairy is to find Xun'er's body, so that he can be buried as soon as possible." ”
"Well, the mourning family only came back after hearing about the eleventh prince."
Concubine Tong followed and said, "It's okay for the Queen Mother to come in, and the concubines are very worried about your body." ”
Concubine Tong's words fell, and Concubine Lan also said. "Yes, Queen Mother, are you okay?"
The other concubines then catered to it, "The queen mother is not in the palace, and the concubines are like losing their backbone." ”
…
Gu Ningyan listened to the false inquiries of the concubines to the Queen Mother's concern, and she shook her head to the side to express her silence, she didn't want to talk to the Queen Mother like that group of women.
After being cared for by the concubines, the Queen Mother cast her eyes on Gu Ningyan, who was quiet on the side, "Princess Lan, I haven't seen you for many days, why don't you speak quietly, don't you welcome the mourning family back?" ”
Before Gu Ningyan could speak, Wei Qianlan spoke first, "Queen Mother, Ning Yan has been feeling unwell recently, so she is not in good spirits. ”
King Delan explained, and the Queen Mother's deep gaze fell on Gu Ningyan's body and asked, "Princess Lan, what's uncomfortable?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers have recently eaten the wrong thing, broken their bodies, and failed to greet the Queen Mother in time, and I hope to forgive the sins." Gu Ningyan explained a few more words along with Wei Qianlan's meaning.
When the Queen Mother heard Princess Lan's words, her face sank a lot, "So that's the case, you have to ensure your body, otherwise how can you give it to the royal family."
Succession. ”
Eh, Gu Ningyan really admires the Queen Mother, and this time she came back to talk a few words and talked about the child again. "What you said is the Queen Mother, the courtiers must pay attention."
"Queen Mother, we don't want to worry about the child's affairs yet, so don't talk about it." Wei Qianlan didn't give the Queen Mother face at all, and her voice was a lot colder.
Wei Qianlan was deliberately fighting back at the Queen Mother, he felt that the Queen Mother's return this time was very unkind.
Facing King Lan's hard eyes, the Queen Mother smiled back and said, "King Lan really loves Princess Lan, okay, the mourning family won't urge you." ”
After speaking, the Queen Mother fell on the emperor's body again, "The mourning family heard that the suspect She Lianhua has been acquitted this time?" ”
The emperor sighed before answering the queen mother, "Yes, Queen Mother, originally King Lan found evidence pointing directly at She Lianhua, but later due to some twists and turns, the case could not be finalized, and finally I decided to arrange her to serve by Concubine Su's side as a palace maid." ”
The Queen Mother seemed to be very satisfied with the emperor's answer.
However, Gu Ningyan and Wei Qianlan didn't understand at all,
The emperor's explanation was obviously too simple and vague, and he directly overturned Wei Qianlan's result.
"Okay, the mourning family needs to rest, you all go back." The Queen Mother made a tired gesture and stretched out her hand to signal everyone to leave.
The emperor was the first to get up, "Queen Mother, you rest first, and the sons will come to visit you later." ”
"The minister also retired." Wei Qianlan also said goodbye to the emperor's words.
The other concubines said, "The concubines have also retired." ”
After leaving Kunruo Palace, the concubines were obeyed by the emperor and went back to their respective palaces, and Gu Ningyan was also ready to push Wei Qianlan away.
However, when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the emperor, "King Lan, Princess Lan, come with me." ”
After Gu Ningyan and Wei Qianlan glanced at each other, they followed the emperor's footsteps without asking too much.
Concubine Su and Red Sleeves looked at Gu Ningyan's back coldly, and then returned to Changle Palace.
The Hall of Diligent Administration.
The emperor looked at the calm eyes of King Lan and Princess Lan, and said with a frown, "I know that She Lianhua was released, King Lan, you must be angry with me in your heart." ”
Wei Qianlan replied calmly, "The emperor is free to decide, and the ministers don't make any words. ”
The emperor's answer to King Lan was frowning, and his face was obviously dark, "King Lan, you are obviously blaming me for this." ”
"No." Wei Qianlan was unhappy in his heart, but he was more guessing the emperor's intentions.
"Okay, I don't care about your current mood King Lan, what I want to talk to you today is about the establishment of the crown prince, and I have decided to issue an edict to canonize the crown prince of the fifth prince and inherit the position of the future prince."
Wei Qianlan and Gu Ningyan frowned at the same time.
"Your Majesty, isn't this kind of thing up to you to decide for yourself, or summon the courtiers to discuss?" Wei Qianlan's incomprehension was only calm.
Regarding the words of the emperor and Wei Qianlan, Gu Ningyan chose to remain silent and wait and see.
The emperor's eyes were much more complicated about King Lan's calm attitude. “
I don't want to listen to the fight between the courtiers, and besides, I have another decision, that is, the fifth prince will ascend the throne in the future, and the crown prince can only be the son of King Zhen, my eldest grandson Acropolis. ”
Wei Qianlan was really surprised because of the emperor's words, in this way, isn't the throne of the fifth prince equivalent to sitting for the dead King Zhen. "Your Majesty, you can do it."
"You are their imperial uncle, if there is anything wrong in the future, I hope you can correct them in time."
Wei Qianlan bowed his head, "As long as it is useful to the ministers, it is incumbent on the ministers." ”
Although the emperor's eyes were complicated, he still replied with satisfaction, "I am relieved to have King Lan's words." After speaking, the emperor asked Gu Ningyan again, "Princess Lan, I heard that this time She Lianhua went out to look like you, and controlled you outside, is your body okay?" ”
Gu Ningyan was suddenly surprised by the emperor's inquiry, and then replied calmly, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, thanks to the prince's timely finding, it is no problem." ”
"That's good, in the future, I will enter the palace and Concubine Su and Concubine Tong more
Let's talk about it, and it will feel better. ”
How could he be in a good mood, although Gu Ningyan said this in his heart, but he must not say it directly in front of the emperor, he can only smile with him, "What the emperor said is that the courtiers must keep it in mind." ”
"It's fine, there's nothing to do, you husband and wife can go back and rest."
"The minister retired."
Gu Ningyan asked again after leaving the palace, "What does the emperor mean?" He can stand up to whoever he wants, why did he come to you? ”
Wei Qianlan sneered, "Can't you see this, the emperor is testing me, he has begun to doubt my identity, maybe She Lianhua can come out, that is, she has exchanged what she knows with the emperor, and I am now targeted by the emperor." ”
Gu Ningyan finally understood, "I see, it's just that he is a little wrong, you have no interest in the throne." ”
"yes." Wei Qianlan sighed, he was indeed not interested in the throne. "Next, I have to be careful, maybe the Lan Wangfu at this moment is all in the emperor's sight."
Gu Ningyan pushed Wei Qianlan into the carriage with the help of Mo Yang, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled at him, "This feeling is really uncomfortable." ”
