The biological mother's tone could not hide the expectation, there was no need to look back, the prince also knew what kind of heat was contained in Concubine Cui's eyes at this moment - but he felt like falling into an ice cellar!

"Mother, do you know ......" the prince felt that his voice had never been so difficult, "do you know what you are talking about?!" ”

"Of course I know what I'm talking about!" Concubine Cui took a deep breath and sneered, "This year is the twenty-first year of Xianjia, and I have endured the cheap maid of Daiguo for nearly twenty years!" The world regards me as a noble concubine, the biological mother of you, the crown prince - even if I am demoted now, I am still a concubine! But in the Queen Mother, in the Daiguo, and even in the eyes of your father, I am just a concubine of your father! ”

The fingers she grabbed on the prince's shoulder subconsciously forced, the palace concubine's carefully maintained long armor almost pinched into her son's flesh, her eyes looked not far away, but her pupils were dilated, her lips trembled, and she muttered, "If I hadn't given birth to your son, maybe Daiguo wouldn't have let me live until now!" These ins and outs, the Queen Mother, your father, who doesn't know it?! But which of them has restrained the country? Who has paid attention to my grievances, my embarrassment?! ”

"The queen mother is also okay, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for mothers-in-law to help their daughters scold their daughters-in-law, not to mention that I am not her serious daughter-in-law?!"

"But your father, the emperor, I have served my husband for most of my life!"

"He is a Ming monarch praised by both the government and the opposition, with a sick body, he will govern the huge world to the sea and the river, and in terms of means and ability, he is better than the first emperor!"

"Even if he is arrogant on behalf of the country, if he has the heart to protect me, how can there be no way?!"

"Although I am not his wife, but I only came to him half a year later than the queen, he felt sorry for the queen to accompany him all the way through the wind and rain, is it that in those stormy days, I will sit back and relax and there is no danger at all?!"

"How many benefits have the Su family gained because of the queen over the years, and if there is a bit of status in the harem before the Wuhuan incident, who has no points in their hearts?! Ji Guogong, no, it should be said that the Su family is ambitious, what did Your Majesty do? He personally stepped in to suppress the whole thing! ”

Concubine Cui's voice gradually whimpered, "No one is allowed to mention it!" ”

"Plotting against such a great evil act, Your Majesty only hinted that Su Nian resigned from his official position, and he was not even deprived of the official title!"

"As for the queen who is also involved in this matter, she hasn't even heard a word of reprimand!"

"Even if Your Majesty plans to take away the Duke of Ji in the future, at least until now, the Su family is still noble and honorable, isn't it?!"

"But look at your foreign family, the Cui family's status in the court, even the Jiang family is not as good as the Jiang family!"

"Xiao'er, can't you see it?! In His Majesty's mind, the three thousand beauties in this palace are not as important as the queen alone! ”

"Those things that the Su family did, if they were replaced by the Jiang family and the Cui family, how could they pass the test so easily?!"

"The mother concubine is not telling you these words to tell her grievances!"

"But I want to remind you: your father and the emperor are essentially heavy and inferior to the emperor - otherwise, why would he accompany him from the previous dynasty, but he only remembers the queen's good?!"

Concubine Cui raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, gritted her teeth and said, "Mother concubine told the truth: if the queen had a son back then, even if she was not the eldest son, the position of the East Palace may not be your turn!" Now the reason why your father is pulling you off the wrong frame everywhere is because you were raised by him personally! Once this father-son relationship is exhausted...... King Zhao is also older, what do you say is the result?! ”

The palm that was still pinched on the prince's shoulder, keenly aware of his distinct shock, Concubine Cui sobbed a few times, and continued, "What's more, even if you want to be the righteousness of father and son, but how are you alone now?" At the age of the concubine, although she is not angry with the country, if she really can't live, she will die if she dies - but Hao'er, and Zhong Ling, what do you let them do?! ”

She cried out in sadness, "Zhong Ling, my eldest grandson! He's only eight years old! That kid has always been sensible and smart, and the most filial and quick-witted! But if it falls into the hands of Dai Guo, how will the humiliate him?! These days, every time I think about this, I feel like I'm burned inside! ”

"You are willing to let your mother concubine not be ashamed in her life, and it's okay, but are you willing to let Zhong Ling fall to the point where your mother was back then? ! No, of course, although the mother concubine suffered all the humiliation, she survived! And if you lose the position of prince, how can the country allow your bloodline to survive?! ”

The prince didn't know when, but he was already in tears - he turned his head little by little, looked at Concubine Cui, the whole person was trembling, and his voice was also full of vibrato: "Mother concubine, that's the father - you also know that the child was raised by the father himself!! ”

He staggered and slipped off the couch, held on to the edge of the couch, and knelt down heavily in front of Concubine Cui: "Mother, the father is as kind to the child as a mountain!" The child only hates himself for being useless, and he has grown more than 20 years, not only can he not share his worries for his father, but he also has to tire his father during his recuperation, and he will shoot again and again to clear the way for the child! ”

The crown prince burst into tears, dripping on Concubine Cui's skirt, "So, please forgive the child...... Can't obey fate! ”

He leaned over and kowtowed his head, and suddenly saw a bruise on his forehead, but he didn't realize it, he only raised his head to meet Concubine Cui's angry gaze, "If the mother concubine is going to be like this, the child can only take the first step, under Jiuquan, and be the pioneer of his father!" ”

"You ......" Concubine Cui never expected that the prince had such a deep affection for Emperor Xianjia, knowing that he was in danger of being deposed, but he would rather die than kill the monarch - if he was worried about the failure of killing the monarch, it would be okay, but he was purely unwilling to do so!

Not only was he unwilling to do this, but in order to stop Concubine Cui, he even said that he was going to die in front of Emperor Xianjia!

For a while, Concubine Cui's heart was mixed, she bit her lip hard, forced herself to calm down, and then said with a miserable smile, "As the saying goes, there is no father and son in the heavenly family, in the early years, your father and the queen mother did such a thing, I just said that now it is also a report and a report, I don't want you to ...... You're ......"

She couldn't go on anymore - because the prince was already kowtowing, kowtowing and saying: "If the child goes, there is still a third brother under the mother's knees, and I hope that the mother and the third brother will take care of Zhongling's mother and son more in the future!" ”

“…… There you go! Concubine Cui looked at the blood dripping from the prince's forehead in a daze, tears fell from her eyes, but she couldn't get any soft-hearted compromise from her son, and in the end, she leaned back weakly and said in a dumb voice, "You should be, concubine, you haven't said anything, okay?" ”

The prince kowtowed again, and then staggered up, bowed, and whispered, "The child obeys!" ”

Glancing at the twilight outside the hall, he said, "It's getting late, the child won't disturb the placement of the mother, so I'll retire!" ”

After he left, Concubine Cui raised her sleeves to cover her face and cried silently for a long time before putting down her sleeves. Her expression was full of exhaustion, but her eyes were cold to the bone, staring in the direction of Xuanming Palace for a moment, closing her eyes to hide the killing intent in her eyes, and calling the palace people to serve with a cold voice.

…… When the prince returned to the East Palace, he ordered someone to quietly invite a familiar imperial doctor to deal with the bruises on his forehead, and he had no intention of going to the princess or concubine again, so he summoned the king of Zhongling County to him, and after finishing his homework, he gave a few words of encouragement and settled in the study alone.

He slept very badly this night, Concubine Cui's crying and Emperor Xianjia's earnest teachings rang in his ears alternately, and he barely fell asleep after midnight, but he woke up in a dream of Emperor Xianjia's bleeding death in front of him!

"Someone!" The prince sat up wiping his sweat, and by the dim light of the night, he saw that the moment marked by the copper leak outside the tent was about half an hour before he usually got up—but he could not sleep, or dared not sleep.

It is to call into the palace, "bring a basin of cold water, and serve the lonely freshman!" ”

The water in the autumn night was so cold that it penetrated into the bone marrow, plopping on his face, arousing the whole person's cold hairs to stand on end, but it also made the prince feel clear-headed!

He didn't want to remember the words in the Xifu Palace last night, so he forced himself to concentrate on the upcoming court meeting - today, how would the friends of the second king of Wei and Zhao attack him?

"Jianling County is only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, waiting for the feet of the Son of Heaven!" To the prince's surprise, two hours later, in the staggering court, King Zhao, who was the first to come out, said not impeachment and questioning him, but maintenance.

The young prince's clear voice echoed in the wide hall, and his resolute eyebrows were full of vitality, "No matter who is the real culprit behind the bloody case, how dare you expose the clues if you choose to be a murderer here?" Therefore, the criminal infiltrated the grange of His Royal Highness the Prince, which proved that this matter had nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince! Most likely, it's a plan to lead the water to the east! ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao's words are wrong!" The prince's faction was puzzled by King Zhao's abnormality, but Huo Tan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, made them sneer secretly, "Do you know if those people want to plan the plan, so they deliberately fled into the prince's grange?" What's more, the three criminals who are still imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, although they have not confessed a word so far, they have found witnesses in the imperial capital, proving that they have tried to contact the steward of Gu Xiang's mansion - and whether it is Gu Xiang or the steward of Gu Xiang's mansion, what does it have to do with the group of people who escorted Zhao Wu, as well as Zhao Wu's father and son? The reason why he is acting like this is for whom, the kings here, who doesn't know it?! ”

Huo Tan is Ji Mingfei's cousin, and he is related to the acting princess, and he was one of the first officials to be dragged into the water to support King Wei.

As soon as he said this, the prince understood that King Zhao seemed to speak for the prince before, but in fact, it was just to lead Huo Tan's questioning - by the way, let King Zhao gain a reputation as a friendly brother!

It's just that this thought turned in the hearts of most people, but I didn't expect King Zhao to have no intention of returning to the queue, but instead debated with Huo Tan: "When Gu Xiang was in the early years of the dynasty, he was already famous all over the world!" There is no vanity under the so-called fame, dare to ask you: If the Jianling bloody case really came from Gu Xiang's hands, with Gu Xiang's means, is it possible to let Jianling County's district and county orders and county officials catch human and physical evidence between hands? ! ”

Huo Tan was stunned by this question-whether they like Gu Shao or not, but Gu Shao's status and qualifications are there, but no one can deny it!

King Zhao didn't have any evidence, only brought out Gu Shao's name, but it was enough to silence the court.

While everyone was contemplating deeply, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they all looked at each other a little: "What is this Highness crazy about?!" ”

- You are talking to the prince so hard, do you want to grab the storage position with the prince?!
