Jian Xubai said: "Do you think that the imperial uncle has spent more than half a year, sitting back and watching the brotherhood between the prince and the king of Wei and the king of Zhao disappear and disappear, just to calculate a mere concubine Cui?" ”

Seeing that Ji Su was confused, he raised his chin and motioned to close the window, and then said in a low voice, "The grudge between Aunt Daiguo and Concubine Cui was settled many years ago, and the imperial uncle didn't start to be in arrears recently!" ”

- When Emperor Xianjia was alive, he didn't have to worry about Concubine Cui's mother taking revenge on the eldest princess of the country with her son; The reason why he didn't allow Concubine Cui to live was mainly because he was afraid that his death would lead to his sister's family.

The problem is that the emperor's health has never been very good, since he has such a mind, so why has Concubine Cui been safe and sound when he has been critically ill several times before?

"With the shrewdness of our majesty, if it is said that Concubine Cui Niangniang planted a manpower on the side of Her Royal Highness the Acting Eldest Princess, it will anger it...... But it's not like it! Ji Su muttered, "After all, the slave maid said something heart-wrenching: Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Governor of the country, insulted Concubine Cui Niangniang too much, and afterwards Concubine Cui Niangniang was not comforted, but was also punished - such an encounter, who can let go of ordinary people?" His Majesty will never fail to understand this, but he still punished Concubine Cui according to the will of the acting princess, which is really incomprehensible! ”

A hint of ridicule flashed in Jian Xubai's eyes: "You don't understand because you only know that Aunt Daiguo slapped Concubine Cui for a trivial matter, but you don't know that Aunt Daiguo is arrogant by nature, and she has experienced the hardships of the imperial uncle's struggle for the crown prince in the past, how can you really offend the prince's biological mother to death because of trivial matters?" ”

Ji Su was secretly shocked when he heard this: "What does Grandpa mean ......?" ”

"When the imperial uncle first ascended the throne, he was worried every day that he would be asked to be a man of the Manchu Dynasty, and his aunt was ready to be regent, so Concubine Cui was naturally ready to be the queen mother of the Virgin." Jian Xubai said hesitantly, "And the most trusted relatives in the emperor's life are, of course, the emperor's grandmother, his mother and the three aunts of Daiguo - among them, the emperor's grandmother and mother are not interested in political affairs, but Daiguo's aunt has always been flamboyant, and her uncle is from a noble background, not to mention the hereditary repetitive marquis, and she is also quite talented, do you think Concubine Cui can rest assured?" ”

He sighed, "Concubine Cui once privately told the imperial uncle that after the imperial uncle killed his half-brothers and sisters other than Uncle Yi, the aunt and his wife are arrogant and domineering, if they are not restrained, I am afraid it will be bad for the prince!" ”

From Concubine Cui's standpoint, it is common sense for her to be so worried: the Cui family she was born in is just an ordinary official eunuch, not to mention compared with Queen Su's maiden family, Qingzhou Su's family, and Concubine Jiang Xian's maiden family. So once Emperor Xianjia died young, and the young prince succeeded to the throne, Concubine Cui, the biological mother, could not provide any help to the prince's throne stability!

Not being able to provide much help to the crown prince also means that it is impossible to share too much benefit from the prince's accession to the throne.

After all, King Zhao had not yet been born at that time, and the prince's mother-in-law, Queen Su, would not mind helping her concubine for the sake of the family's future when she had no son; In addition, the aunt of the eldest princess of the country, Concubine Cui, although she is the biological mother, how much advantage can she take advantage of?

It's just that Concubine Cui saw that Emperor Xianjia killed his half-brothers and sisters without mercy, but she underestimated the status of her half-sisters in the emperor's mind, and not only did she fail to instigate rashly, but even spread the news to the ears of the eldest princess of the acting country - the sex of the eldest princess of the country. son, if Concubine Cui doesn't mess with her, she may not be willing to confront Concubine Cui for the prince's sake; But now that Concubine Cui actually wants to put herself to death first, how can the acting princess back down?!

Not only did he refuse to back down, but even the prince hated it!

"So, isn't everything in the past two years caused by Concubine Cui?" Ji Su couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, "If it weren't for Concubine Cui's own cleverness to instigate the brother-sister relationship between His Majesty and the Acting Princess, the Acting Princess, would not openly insult Concubine Cui, if these two don't have a grudge, why would the Acting Princess?" ”

Although it is said that in addition to King Wei and King Zhao who want to compete for the throne with the crown prince at the moment, if it weren't for the acting princess, the queen mother would definitely still support the prince - then how could the situation deteriorate to the point of making the prince desperate?

At present, the crown prince is safe, but this security is purely given by Emperor Xianjia.

To be honest, the battle for the prince in this dynasty was actually unfair from the beginning: the emperor was iron-hearted on the side of the prince, and the emperor was a dictatorial existence in the power of the Qiangang, so the king of Wei and the king of Zhao were really aggrieved to lose, they were not inferior in skills, but purely inferior in backers!

Ji Su drove this kind of rebellious thought out of his mind, and was about to speak, but he saw Jian Xubai shaking his head and said: "You still haven't seen the point: Concubine Cui killed Aunt Daiguo as early as when the prince was a child, and Aunt Daiguo's blatant insult to her was a formal grudge in front of people, in this case, after the imperial uncle punished her according to Daiguo's aunt's request, he actually ignored it, as if he didn't know the grievances between the two at all, and concentrated on cultivating the prince by himself - how could this practice be done by Mingjun?" ”

But Emperor Xianjia is recognized as a Ming monarch, so of course he has his considerations for doing this!

As for what the considerations were, Jian Xubai sneered slightly, "Are those people who were instructed by Concubine Cui to murder the imperial uncle were sent by the imperial uncle?" ”

Ji Su was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

Emperor Xianjia deliberately let Concubine Cui fall into the charge of killing the king, didn't Jian Xubai tell him just now?

"Cooking Concubine Cui is just an incidental act of the imperial uncle pretending to be sick!" Jian Xubai said hesitantly, "If I haven't guessed wrong, the real purpose of the imperial uncle is actually Meilu and the others-no matter how stupid Concubine Cui is, after all, she will not be unclear about the fate of the failure of killing the king!" Even if she thinks she is in a desperate situation, she doesn't dare to take this risk if she is not sure, Meilu and others can actually win her trust, have you ever thought about what are these people? ”

Seeing that Ji Su wanted to ask, he waved his hand a little tiredly, "It's a big matter, even if there is no one around at the moment, it's better to be cautious, let's talk about it after I leave the palace and return home!" ”

Ji Su wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, but she didn't dare to ask any questions, so she only persuaded euphemistically: "Although the warm beauty has not entered the palace now, after all, she is a palace concubine with a serious reputation, even if Your Majesty treats her as a favorite of the Sixth Palace, but since she can serve the Holy Driver from time to time, it is expected that she will not have a bad time." Since the grandfather refused to marry back then, and now he has a wife, and the wife is still pregnant, these days he supports the Guogong Mansion alone, and he is worried about your safety in the palace, this is ......"

"You heard that I blamed the antidote pill on Nuan Meiren's head, do you suspect that I have something to do with her?" Jian Xubai was going to settle it, but when he heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and he lowered his face and scolded, "It's ridiculous! ”

He really has something to think about Nuan Meiren, even if he doesn't marry her as a wife for comprehensive considerations such as the future, when Wuhuan is destroyed, he asks her to be a concubine by his side, and Ji Guogong may not refuse.

After all, the plan of the Su family to cooperate with the outside world has been known to some people, and Ji Guogong is eager to appease all parties, how dare he not comply with the request of the victim of Jian Xubai?

Jian Xubai didn't mention this at the time, naturally because he didn't have any thoughts about this peerless beauty from beginning to end - the reason why he pushed the antidote pill on the head of Nuan Meiren tonight was also for a reason.

"Uncle Fang summoned the crown prince, didn't the prince order someone to come and tell us when he went to the dormitory, suggesting that we had better go to the vicinity of the dormitory to wait?" Jian Xubai groaned, feeling that although he had a clear conscience in this matter, there was a way that there was no impermeable wall in the world, and it would not be good if it leaked out and reached Song Yixiao's ears, so he still had to explain it clearly to Ji Su, and many people would help to corroborate and explain it when the time came.

"I want to come to the crown prince because after the imperial uncle woke up tonight, he first summoned the imperial aunt alone, and then the crown prince - I thought that the next might be the juniors under the crown prince."

At present, in addition to the youngest King Shu who is too busy to take care of himself, and King Liang who was excused by Queen Su to "you are sick from serving Concubine Cui", King Wei and King Zhao also live in the Dongnuan Pavilion and are ready to serve the emperor at any time.

But no matter how naïve the prince is, he also knows that his only chance at present is in his father, and after his father wakes up, he first talks to his mother in private for a long time before it is his turn - if he sees King Wei and King Zhao again according to his status and bloodline, who knows if he will be instilled with a lot of unfavorable remarks about himself?

So after he received the summons, he didn't tell his two half-brothers, but called his cousin Jian Xubai, who was good with him.

At that time, Emperor Xianjia finished talking to the prince, if he still wanted to continue to summon the king of Wei and the king of Zhao, the prince could have persuaded: "Ah Xu has been serving you here these days, and I am very happy to hear that you have woken up, and you are staying outside at the moment. so that his heart can be relaxed. ”

Not to mention that Jian Xubai is the most loved by Emperor Xianjia among several emperors and nephews, and in the face of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the emperor will not object.

In this way, Jian Xubai rushed to face the saint before King Wei and King Zhao, and he could help the prince to tell Emperor Xianjia about the suspicious and inappropriate behaviors, words and deeds of the two factions of Wei and Zhao in the past few days - it is not appropriate for the prince to say these words himself - and then even if Emperor Xianjia still has the spirit to summon King Wei and King Zhao, it is estimated that if these two princes say anything bad about the prince, the emperor will not believe it immediately, or leave a bad impression on the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's precautionary measures are very right, and I naturally will not object." Jian Xubai said, "It's just that I'm afraid that King Wei and King Zhao will notice the clue and rush to wait outside the dormitory, so I left you behind and stared at those two rooms. ”

At this point, Ji Su knows everything.

It was precisely because he was left behind that he didn't know how Jian Xubai used up the antidote pill.

"As a result, not long after I went outside the dormitory, the warm beauty came." Jian Xubai glanced at him and said, "I was alone outside the palace at that time, and when I saw that she wanted to enter the dormitory, I naturally wanted to stop her and tell her that the prince was inside—but she suddenly told me that Concubine Cui had coerced her to murder the imperial uncle!" ”
