When Song Yixiao was frightened by the secret revealed by her husband in private, in the side hall of Xuanming Palace, Empress Su was also expressing her dissatisfaction to the acting princess of the country about Jian Xubai's invitation to serve Emperor Xianjia: "Your Majesty's situation is very critical now, the imperial doctor has said it, it is difficult to say whether you can survive these few days, we are worried that Your Majesty will not come, what will you do with this eye joint?" Isn't this a plain extraneous branch? ”

The queen's tone was very tired, her voice was also hoarse, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, no longer the charm and charm of the past.

It has only been two or three days since Emperor Xianjia was critically ill, but since the queen received the news, she has been staying in front of the sickbed inch by inch, and the work she should serve is not at all pretending to be the hands of others - after taking care of her body and mind until she can no longer support her body and spirit, she will take a short rest under the persuasion of the left and right.

I didn't know that after taking a nap for a while, I immediately went to see Emperor Xianjia after getting up, but I saw that Jian Xubai had already served in front of the couch one step ahead.

She was very surprised at first, after all, she had ordered before she went to bed that except for a few people she had allowed, no one else was allowed to come near Emperor Xianjia when they came—especially the people from the prince's side!

Even though Jian Xubai is the nephew of Emperor Xianjia, it can involve the struggle for the prince, and it is not uncommon to kill relatives and rebel against Lun, but the queen has repeatedly told him that he will not even let him enter the dormitory!

As a result, when I asked, it was the words sent by the princess on behalf of the country!

When the queen heard the news, she was anxious and angry, and casually found an excuse to let her henchman Fang Yu replace Jian Xubai, so she hurriedly came to the acting princess to question.

"The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, I'm worried that the Wei clan intervened and detained people under the pretext that the prince was accidentally poisoned!" In contrast, although the eldest princess of the acting country had a slightly haggard face, her eyes were blazing, and she was not in a bad mood when she looked at it, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked when she spoke, and she said in a brisk tone, "Now she is smart enough to send Ah Xu, isn't it right?" ”

"Are you going to?!" The queen's face changed slightly when she heard this, "Don't mess around!" ”

The eldest princess glanced at the queen disapprovingly, and said, "Sister-in-law, when did you say this?" Don't tell me, you still remember Ah Xu's love of calling you 'aunt'! ”

"Although Ah Xu called me 'aunt', he has no blood connection with me." Queen Su pinched her eyebrows and said tiredly, "Speaking of which, he is your nephew, you can give him up, so naturally I don't feel distressed!" I'll tell you not to mess around......"

After a pause, "You mean Your Majesty!" ”

When the eldest princess of the acting country heard this, she stared at Queen Su for a long time as if she was looking at something strange - until Queen Su sank her face, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I just didn't expect you to say that, so I was taken aback!" ”

She ignored Queen Su Tieqing's face, and said with a smile to herself, "After all, you and your mother's family, but since several years ago, you have been working hard to support King Zhao to ascend the throne." As a result, now that a great opportunity has come, you feel sorry for the royal brother again, this is really ...... There will be no one else here, no matter how sincere you say this, but only I hear it! ”

"I do hope that King Zhao will ascend the throne!" Empress Su glanced at her coldly and snorted, "After all, he is not only the concubine of the middle palace, but in terms of talent and ambition, which point is not better than the son of the Cui family?!" But he was born twelve years late, and he already had a prince when he landed! ”

The queen's eyes were dark and her expression was cold, "If King Zhao is not the concubine of the middle palace, and he is so many years younger than the prince, even if he is talented, he still has the hope of being a virtuous king and assisting the prince's father and son well in the future; And if King Zhao is a concubine, but his qualifications are mediocre, and he can't threaten the prince horizontally and vertically - I also admit it, just lead the Zhao Dynasty to dance and make ink and snow and moon, and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and romance through the identity of the prince in the future, which is also good. ”

But King Zhao has both of them: the concubine of the main palace, who is very talented!

"And he is also the nephew of the Su family!" Queen Su Baiwei Chen said, "My mother's family also has a talented Shaoge who is only ten years older than him, but is already well-known in the world, so that the government and the opposition say that there is a successor to the Su family - how can I not worry about him?!" ”

Even if the crown prince had always been good to King Zhao before, the queen knew that this was because Emperor Xianjia had always favored the prince, and the prince, who was protected by the emperor, had never felt the threat of his younger brothers, and naturally he would not have any hostility towards his younger brothers; Second, King Zhao is still young, and his qualifications have not been fully grown, showing the brilliance he deserves.

And once Emperor Xianjia dies and the crown prince inherits the throne, without the meticulous care of his father, the prince will definitely inherit the instincts of the superior since ancient times in the shortest possible time: for example, suspicious.

At that time, even if King Zhao is loyal to him, how can the prince have no mustard?

After all, for the most part, the main factor that becomes a threat is not ambition, but strength.

King Zhao has enough strength to threaten the crown prince, so whether he has the ambition to seize the crown prince or not, he will become a thorn in the prince's side, and the difference is only a matter of time.

At that time, there are only two fates for King Zhao: one is that he died unclear, and the other is to learn from King Yijing to be a qualified "quail prince".

The problem is that King Yijing is already very knowledgeable, no matter how wasteful he is, he is the son of the first emperor and a serious prince! But he has been locked up in the house for 20 years, becoming one of the jokes in the market, and even being dubbed the extremely humiliating and ridiculous name of "quail" - but in the end he still died in vain!

As long as Empress Su thinks about her own flesh and blood, she is obviously the most noble prince under the knee of Emperor Xianjia, but in the end, she has to live tremblingly in front of the prince, and she may not be able to live - she feels unbearable!

——Which one of you is a mother who wants her son to follow in the footsteps of King Yijing in the future?

The queen raised her head and looked at the princess of the acting country very seriously: "So I really hope that Yi Chu will let King Zhao be the crown prince." But the relationship between me and Your Majesty for decades is not fake, I haven't thought about killing the monarch - if you want to frame the prince, I will cooperate, but if you want to attack Your Majesty, I will never agree! ”

The face of the acting princess quickly sank, and she looked at the queen fixedly for a long time before she sneered: "I only said that the imperial sister-in-law, you were involved in the seizure of the prince by your mother's family, purely because of ambition - now I know that you are strong for your mother!" However, no matter what the reason, there are two things that I think the imperial sister-in-law must recognize: first, the imperial brother really prefers the prince, and in this regard, whether you are his wife or my only sister, it is difficult to shake! ”

"Second, with what we did to the prince before, once the prince turns over, you and I will never be fortunate enough to ignore it! As for King Wei and King Zhao, your maiden family, the Su family, and my husband's family, the Ji family...... Even those who have served us all these years will definitely not end well! ”

The eldest princess sneered, "The so-called arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent!" That's where we are now! So don't put on a look of affection between the imperial sister-in-law, after all, if you really regard the imperial brother as more important than King Zhao, then you shouldn't have been involved in the matter of competing for the prince in the first place, so as not to worry about the imperial brother! I've done everything, and now it's interesting to say something like this? ”

Seeing that Queen Su's face was pale, she continued disdainfully, "Besides, I didn't say that I must attack the imperial brother, and the imperial sister-in-law also said it, even the imperial doctor is not optimistic that the imperial brother can survive the current hurdle, who knows that we can't push the boat down the river?" The imperial sister-in-law suddenly thought of the imperial brother, and she didn't know who had bad intentions! ”

"Your Highness promised not to attack Your Majesty!" Empress Su didn't argue with her, and when she heard this, she bowed her head slightly and stood up, "Then I'll take care of Your Majesty - after you think about how to use Ah Xuan to frame the prince, just send someone to find me." ”
