233 Mother and Son Heart-to-Heart
As the prince stood lightly sideways by the pantry door of the kitchen, the queen was pulling out the paper bag from her sleeve.
She took a deep breath, turned her heart aside, and poured all the brown powder into the stew pot. She immediately remembered what Gao Yang had confessed, this medicine tasted spicy, and she regretted being ruthless.
The queen looked up and was about to order some ginger, but she was startled when she saw her son silently watching her at the door.
"What are you doing standing at the door and not speaking?" The queen stroked her chest and said angrily.
"What's in there?" The prince vaguely guessed, and asked in a trembling voice.
The queen's face sank, and she reproached: "Don't ask too much about things that shouldn't be in your hands." With that, she picked up the stew cup and walked out of the pantry.
The crown prince shouted loudly outside: "Guiyue! ”
After a while, Gui Yue walked in quickly, looking at the stalemate between the mother and son, and asked cautiously, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commands?" ”
"Go and stay outside, no one is allowed to approach!" The prince shouted.
"Yes!" Gui Yue glanced at the queen, and seeing that she was speechless, she hurriedly took the order to go out.
"The wings stiffened, and they came back to my head." The queen was very displeased.
The prince didn't say much, but reached out and dipped it in the stew pot, and made a gesture to put it in his mouth, but the queen threw the stew pot and slapped his hand down.
The purple sand texture of the stew pot shattered to the ground, as if the layer of window paper had also been pierced by this crisp sound.
The prince's heart was unbearable, and he asked in a low voice with red eyes, "Queen Mother, why?" ”
The queen's tears rolled down, and she didn't care about the demeanor of the mother of a country, grabbed her son's finger and wiped it frantically, crying in her mouth: "Are you stupid, stupid or not!" ”
"It's you who is stupid, not me!" The crown prince looked at the queen like this, and he was both angry and distressed, "What is that?" Why would you want to do that? ”
"If you don't do this, wait for the slut surnamed Qian to give birth to a son and trample you into the mud?" The secret in the queen's heart was peeped into by her son, but she calmed down a lot.
She wiped away her tears fiercely and whispered, "That's the powder made from aconitum heads." The slut used the aconitum to kill my Kang'er, and your father not only did not punish her, but treated her a little better than before. Since he is reluctant to touch a finger of Qian Yulan, then taste the taste of aconitum himself and fight for my Kang'er! ”
"Did you think about the consequences of doing this?" The crown prince clung to the queen's hand tightly, as if this would stop her completely.
"You are a rightful prince, and he personally decreed the edict." The queen sneered, "If he dies, you are the emperor, and Qian Yulan is the fish and meat on my sword." Isn't it easy to avenge your brother? Why is it like now, in order to be buried with a slut when he dies, he slapped you and my mother and son in the face in front of the world! ”
"But he's my father, too!" The prince faced the queen who was a little stunned, and his tone was a little desperate.
"What about him?" The queen said indignantly, "You are his only concubine, and you are born so intelligent, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the flesh of your heart!" It's better for him to hold Chen Xi, a monk who doesn't know the names of his parents, in the palm of his hand, and marry Xu Yuan to the maid who crawled out of the girl's belly......"
The prince shook his head, his mother's eyeholes were too small!
"If you don't talk about the father-son relationship between me and my father, then let's talk about the pros and cons." The prince said in a deep voice.
The queen stared at her son, and she seemed to be being lectured by her son again.
"My father was able to defeat the world and sit on the throne, relying on the army that Dingguo Gong, King Jin, Xingguo Gong and others helped him lead. These people are loyal to their father, not to the throne, otherwise they would not have followed their father to be a thief. ”
"You!" The queen frowned, "How can you say that......"
"For the Liang family of the former dynasty, my father is the No. 1 thief in Tianzi, I don't think there is anything to shy away from this." The crown prince said calmly, "You say that I am right, but do you think that the ten-year-old little emperor can suppress these founding heroes who hold real power?" They obeyed only their father's orders, while the many middle and lower rank officers in the army obeyed them. ”
"The third brother is about to marry the youngest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo, if the father is Bintian at this time, and you are resentful because of the marriage between the Xu family and the third brother, do you say that the Dingguo Guild will not have a different mind? It shouldn't be a difficult choice to live on thin ice under your hands, or to be the father-in-law of the new emperor, right? After all, it was the father who had a lifelong friendship with the Duke of Dingguo, and the love for the small was also the father, Xu Xing and I didn't get to that point! ”
The queen listened to it, as if everything she had determined in the past was on top of the iceberg, and the collapse was only instantaneous.
"The second brother told me today that he thinks that the woman that his father wants to bury together is not Qian Zhaorong." When the crown prince said this, he couldn't help complaining about the queen, "Queen Mother, speaking of which, you are also the master of the harem, and you have been a husband and wife with your father for so many years, why can't you even understand half of his thoughts?" ”
"Chen Xi said no, didn't he?" The queen defended herself, "He just coaxed you!" ”
The prince waved his hand with a headache and said, "It's okay to coax, not to coax." Don't use your crooked brains in the future, at least tell me before you start! We are mother and son, what can you not say to your son? ”
The queen nodded weakly, and in retrospect, she was indeed too reckless today. If Chen Yuantai had an accident at Kunning Palace, even if his son was the crown prince, Chen Xi, Xu Xing and the Queen Mother would be in big trouble.
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the remorse on his mother's face.
"Instead of complaining, you should do something practical in the palace!" The prince said, "I heard that in the harem, the minions of Jingren Palace speak even more effectively than those of Kunning Palace. Shouldn't you also think about why? You must know that my father never interferes in the affairs of the harem! ”
"Hmph, it's just that Qian Yulan is used to being careless and coercing people!" The queen pouted, "Wasn't she a princess before?" It's so easy to get a minion! ”
"I don't want you to learn from her," the prince said patiently, "You are the queen, and the harem should be in your hands." In this way, it is convenient to inquire about things, and there will be no such thing as holding a grudge against the wrong person. ”
"Well, I see......" the queen promised.
"The aconitum," the prince asked, "who sent it in?" ”
"It's Gao Yang," the queen said, "it's the doctor who came back from Zhenla with your cousin of the Deng family, and now he is only enshrined in my palace." It was he who found out that Kang'er had been poisoned by aconitum ......"
When it came to Deng Hong, the prince didn't say anything, but he had doubts in his heart.
