Of course, Liang Guogong also knew that the Su family was not easy to mess with, but his calculation was not completely out of chance: "Everyone knows that the Su family in Qingzhou has a deep heritage and huge power, and no matter how stupid Duanhua is, he will not be confused on this issue!" Among the people who are interested in competing with him for the throne now, who do you think he is most eager to kill? ”

Of course, it's King Su!

And the Su family!

But the henchman reminded: "Your Majesty has not worried about the two kings since he ascended the throne, but until now, the two kings are still at ease in the domain!" ”

Everyone knows that Emperor Duanhua wants his two younger brothers who have passed away to die, but this year is the end of Duanhua's second year and almost Duanhua's third year, and this emperor still hasn't made his wish come true!

"That was before!" Liang Guogong sneered and said, "At that time, Duanhua was still stupid and thought that his position was stable, so although he was defensive against the two kings of Suxiang, he also cherished his feathers very much, so he dragged them until now!" This will make it possible to even bypass the court to deal with me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the charge of murdering my siblings? Now that he wants to grind again, the first emperor has taught him for so many years in vain - what do you think I can be spared this time? It's nothing more than that Duanhua thinks that my power is shallow, if it weren't for the involvement of the Su family and the Wei family, he wanted to deal with me just a sentence, so he kept me to check and balance! ”

His eyes flashed, "My power is indeed far inferior to the Su Jiawei family, let alone dignified!" But this is both my disadvantage and my advantage: at the moment, except for Wei Yinxuan's slut who will stare at me because of personal grudges, most of the others will not regard me as their primary opponent. After all, they have more powerful enemies to deal with! ”

"Muddy the water, that's my chance!"

"As for saying that after doing this, I myself will be threatened in it—the path of the emperor, or before ascending the throne, I will overcome obstacles, like the first emperor; Either after ascending the throne, there will be intrigues, such as Duanhua. When, had it been smooth sailing?! ”

"I don't even dare to take this risk, so why bother with the idea of the supreme position, wouldn't it be better to be a well-behaved idle king honestly as soon as possible?!"

However, Liang Guogong is bent on pitting Empress Wei here, but in fact, it is not only Empress Wei who wants him to die out of personal grudges.

In Yanhou Mansion, Song Yixiao looked at the palace people who claimed to be on the orders of Empress Wei and came in disguise, and her face turned pale: "Niang Niang suspects that Liang Guogong is the real culprit behind the smallpox of Cuihua Mountain?" Unknown available credentials? It's not that I suspect the queen's mother, it's just that the matter is serious, and at that time, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation, and Liang Guogong, Gu Xiang, and Wei Shangshu all participated! In this case, how can the real murderer still get away with it?! ”

She seemed to be shocked and angry, but in fact, she was very calm in her heart, and muttered to herself, "Does the queen want me to help deal with Liang Guogong?" Also, this time the queen and I were both disgraced, and in the final analysis, it was Liang Guogong who exposed the matter of Cui Jianpian. The queen will definitely hate Liang Guogong to death! ”

Of course, Song Yixiao's resentment towards Liang Guogong in her heart will not be less, if there is a chance to trap this brother of the Son of Heaven, she will definitely not hesitate!

But now Empress Wei took the initiative to send someone to talk about smallpox, whether it was true or not, she had to think about it carefully, whether she believed it or not - after all, she was just cut by Emperor Duanhua, and she needed to be well-behaved for a while, lest Emperor Duanhua find an opportunity to attack again, but she didn't want to call the queen a gunman!

"Grandma, you don't know, our mother-in-law has been suspicious of this matter since it didn't take long after the summer vacation last year!" Because Song Yixiao lost her fate, it was not good to call her "madam" again, so the palace people used her title before she was sealed, and explained eloquently, "It was originally the news from Lord Qiu......

In addition to hiding the inside story of Gu Shao's desire to kill Jian Pingyu, the palace people said the rest of the story, and finally said, "This time, the mother sent the slave maid to tell grandma about this matter, and there was no other meaning, just thinking that grandma was also affected by the mother this time, and she couldn't help it." It's just that grandma also knows that it's not good to do anything for our mother to be trapped in Weiyang Palace this time, and she can't compensate you. I can only tell you about this, lest there be any movement on Liang Guogong's side, and you will be caught off guard! ”

Although Song Yixiao was wary of Empress Wei sending someone to come at this moment, she also felt embarrassed when she heard these words: "If you want to say that the matter of Cui Jianpian is the first thing I started, how can I say that my mother has affected me?" ”

She muttered, "At the beginning, my husband and Chaoping were almost alive, and many of the powerful people in our house went so unexplained - it is said that now that there is a mention from the mother, how should I find out about this matter!" It's a pity that I've been not very convenient lately! ”

The palace man said empathetically: "Niangniang is just afraid that you will have a secret hand unknowingly, and I never mean to urge you to do anything." ”

"It's nothing else, it's a happy event." Song Yi smiled when he heard this, smiled slightly, stroked his lower abdomen, and said gently, "I was a little unwell yesterday, please take a look at the doctor, and the way is ...... The Tao is that I have been pregnant for more than a month! You also know that I have not been able to give birth to a male heir for my husband so far, although this one still does not know men and women, I dare not take it lightly! ”

The palace people were stunned, and then showed sincere joy, and said in a loud voice: "I see! What a joy! ”

Saying solemnly, he knelt down and made a big salute to her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to grandma!" May grandma have a precious son soon! ”

The people of this palace wish this from the bottom of their hearts - originally this Grandma Song's status in Yan Hou's mind is not low, if she is pregnant with a male fetus again, even the elders of Yan Hou such as Old Lady Duanmu and Jian Limiao will seriously consider her thoughts!

This is of course good news for Empress Wei, who has a good relationship with Song Yixiao.

"Bengong doesn't believe in this Song brother and sister, and now he only cares about the safety of the fetus and has no time to do other things!" When the good news reached Weiyang Palace, Empress Wei was overjoyed when she learned that she was in a happy mood, and she smiled with Xin Xian, "Just because she is pregnant again, at this time, the mother is more precious than the child, do something out of the ordinary, and the old lady Duanmu and others have to take care of it!" ”

Xin Xian smiled: "It can be seen that God is also on Niangniang's side, isn't Niangniang just worried, even if she wins over Grandma Song, but Yanhou and His Majesty have a deep relationship, can't they succeed in separating day and night?" But now that Grandma Song is pregnant, on this eye joint, if His Majesty is a little prejudiced against Grandma Song again, what do you think Yanhou will think? ”

As for saying that Emperor Duanhua had already issued a decree to deal with Song Yixiao, the dignified emperor, how could he have the face to continue to stare at Song Yixiao and pursue it - the implicit meaning of Xin Xian is self-evident.

But after thinking for a while, Empress Wei shook her head and said: "It is precisely because Brother and Sister Song are pregnant at the right time that they will inevitably be valued by the elders of Yanhou such as Old Madam Duanmu, so we can't have such thoughts!" Are you stupid to be the old lady of Duanmu and Yanhou? How can you not take care of her? If there is a clue to be caught, that's what people who hate us like to see! ”

The queen doesn't mind selling her teammates, but selling her teammates' interests in the first place far outweighs the risks of doing so.

And now the fact is that the risk of selling Song Yixiao is high enough to make her ruined and unable to turn over, and the gain is uncertain - the queen naturally will not agree to Xin Xian's suggestion.

knocked on a few cases, "Go and take out the set of jade bowls for hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren rewarded by the Empress Dowager when the palace was pregnant with the prince, and send it to Brother and Sister Song!" ”

And at this time in the Xuanming Palace, Emperor Duanhua also ordered Zhu Qin with a gloomy face: "Go to the inner library to see what good things are suitable for the situation, pick some and send them to Yanhou Mansion, saying that I heard that Ah Xu is about to become a father again, congratulations to the couple!" ”

Zhu Qin, who had been kneeling for a long time, shook a little when she got up, but she still tried her best to hold on, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

It's just that he didn't immediately retire to do it, but looked at the imperial case without saying anything.

“…… You tell Ah Xu privately that if the Jian Song family gives birth to a male heir this time, I will restore the Duke of Ah Xu, and give back the title of the wife of the Jian Song family! Emperor Duanhua knew what he meant, and was silent for a while, before he spit out words like ice, "Since this idea is yours, how to say it, you know it in your heart!" ”

Zhu Qin knelt down again: "Your Majesty is lenient, and the Yanhou couple will definitely be remembered!" ”

Although Emperor Duanhua's face at the moment clearly showed that he was very reluctant to take the opportunity of Song Yixiao's pregnancy to ease his relationship with Jian Xubai, but at least he did it, didn't he?

Zhu Qin is really relieved!

This Son of Heaven has made a few faint moves in a row, which will be regarded as a sign of turning back on the right track!

It's just that Zhu Qin breathed a sigh of relief here, but Gu Shao, who was persuading the Empress Dowager in the Qingxi Palace, had a headache - because he had just entered the hall, and before he saluted, the Empress Dowager scolded sharply: "You still dare to come to see the mourning family!" The mourning family asks you, how did you assist the emperor! He was asked to make such a big deal as the prince's rebellion, without the court's discussion, and to make decisions without authorization! In all dynasties of the Great Rui Dynasty, there has never been such a reckless Son of Heaven! But you, the world-famous Zaifu, don't even know how to persuade the emperor to do such a thing that despises hundreds of officials! It's ridiculous! ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Shao knew that he couldn't be good today: the Empress Dowager seemed to be scolding him, but in fact, she was going to Emperor Duanhua. The intention was nothing more than to ruin the reputation of the saint and further deal a blow to the already crumbling majesty of Emperor Duanhua.

However, in this matter, Gu Shao did not have much position to defend Emperor Duanhua, after all, his loyalty to this emperor was not so great that he was willing to fight against all his colleagues for the emperor.

However, the Empress Dowager wanted to take this matter to stop him, but it was not enough.

Gu Shao squinted his eyes and said, "Niangniang is extremely worried, and the minister also thinks that Your Majesty has done a lack of thought in this matter." Fortunately, His Majesty is as good as a stream, and this will have handed over the matter to the court for reconsideration, and the previous little selfishness is harmless! ”

The Empress Dowager sneered: "The emperor is not too young!" The crown prince is about to discuss marriage, and he is still so willful, how can he live up to the ardent expectations of the first emperor? ! It's not that the mourning family said Gu Xiang, you still have to be on top of your mind in the future, and persuade the emperor a little more, lest he come here every once in a while, and make the world laugh at it! ”

"The minister came to meet Niangniang today, just for this matter!" When Gu Shao heard this, he smiled slightly, "The reason why Your Majesty wants to favor Liang Guogong to the point of trying to bypass the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, in the final analysis, is because Liang Guogong is the only brother who can help His Majesty in the court so far!" ”

"There is a way that rare things are precious, and Your Majesty will inevitably be reluctant to punish Liang Guogong heavily!"

"According to the minister's opinion, it is better to recall the two kings of Suxiang and enter the court to assist His Majesty - not to mention that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has been sleeping so far, and King Su, as his son-in-law, should also go to fulfill his filial piety; In the same way, when the eldest princess and the concubine died, how could King Xiang not return with the princess to mourn? ”

Ignoring the Empress Dowager's gradually cold face, he continued, "After the two princes return, in addition to comforting the two eldest princesses, they can also take Huan Niangniang's knees, what do you think?" ”
