Before leaving, the eldest princess did not say whether she would arrange for someone to enter the palace to confirm Emperor Xianjia's illness - Empress Su was very disappointed by this, but she was helpless.

After all, it was suspected that Emperor Xianjia did not really become a living dead from now on, mainly the empress herself. This will urge the acting princess to verify, how can the acting princess not be suspicious?

"Do you want to recall the warm beauty back to Xuanming Palace?" After sending off the acting princess, Queen Su ordered Fangyu to pass on the crown princess to speak. While the crown princess had not yet arrived, she seriously thought about the next countermeasure: the queen didn't know that the acting princess had already known that Emperor Xianjia was pretending to be sick to lure the snake out of the hole, and she was still wholeheartedly planning to let this sister-in-law be the scapegoat for this rebellion.

Therefore, the queen thinks that if the warm beauty is recalled to Xuanming Palace, then even if the acting princess takes advantage of Emperor Xianjia's illness. The messenger of the chaotic mother was handed over to herself, as long as she appeared incompetent and did not do well, the princess of the acting country couldn't wait, and she would inevitably go over and do it herself!

This will naturally provoke the wrath of Emperor Xianjia - the problem is that now the prince has asked to stay and serve the sick, but his mother-in-law still called a young and beautiful palace concubine Tete over, how can he be cleared up when the emperor investigates it in the future?

"Forget it!" After thinking for a moment, the queen sighed: Before her nephew Su Shaoge left the palace, she repeatedly told her that no matter what she did next, the priority was not to dislike Emperor Xianjia again!

At the critical moment, I would rather give up pulling the back of the princess of the country!

After all, under the condition that Emperor Xianjia can see things, their vitality now falls on the emperor's old feelings, if they wear out that little affection, what hope is there?

Thinking of this, the queen pressed the Baiwei Chenza, straightened her dress, and waited for the princess to come.

After a while, the crown princess was brought in, and the queen Wen Yan asked about the prince's body - originally the prince was not born to the queen, and his health situation naturally could not affect the queen's mood like King Zhao, and the prince's "poisoning" was so coincidental that the queen didn't know the princess's sideways intervention, but the prince was still pretending to be a little bit more meaningful, so he cared a few words, and then used the excuse that he was "tired", suggesting that the princess would retire.

After the crown princess was blessed, she didn't leave immediately, but said cautiously: "Queen Mother, I heard that the emperor's grandmother has been worried about her father for the past two days, and the daughter-in-law wants to go and see it." Besides, the mother has been sick for a few days......"

Seeing what the queen was going to say, he hurriedly said, "The father and the emperor have the queen mother here, and the daughter-in-law can't help if she is clumsy, so she ......"

"It's right to go to the queen mother." Empress Su didn't know the princess's calculations, but she knew that the East Palace was already a sure winner, even if she was her mother-in-law, she couldn't worry about them in trivial matters, so she nodded without waiting for the princess to finish speaking, "As for Concubine Cui, although there is King Liang to take care of it, it's good for you to go and take a look-but in the end, Your Majesty is more important, you are here, and in three or two days, it will not be good to serve in front of Your Majesty!" ”

The crown princess respectfully said yes.

She left the queen and went to the prince to talk - the prince only said that she was filial, and said: "Originally, I should have gone with me, but I really can't bear to go away when I look at my father's appearance, so I can only bother you to go and ask the imperial grandmother and mother for my sake!" ”

The crown prince actually didn't want to see these two, first of all, the queen mother has always been very good to him, but since a few months ago, her attitude has changed abruptly for the sake of the eldest princess, which makes the prince, who has always been accustomed to seeing good faces and listening to good words, is not ready to face this grandmother; The second is Concubine Cui, this mother didn't kill him once or twice, but she was the mother of her life, and the prince couldn't do anything to her, she really felt upset when she thought about it.

So I was happy to let the crown princess come forward on her behalf, and she stayed in Xuanming Palace under the banner of serving her father - as for whether Xuanming Palace was safe, anyway, the prince didn't plan to go back alive when he entered the palace this time: "Hengzhu is a death, and he can see his father before he dies, serve in front of the bed, and repay the grace of birth and upbringing, which is enough to see!" ”

After the crown princess got his approval, she first went to Mingren Palace to see the queen mother, but it didn't work: on the order of Queen Su, Fu Chongrong, who has been serving the queen mother recently, came out and told her: "The queen mother has been worried about the royal body these days, and it is easy for the palace and Aunt Yuguo to persuade the queen mother to drink a bowl of soothing soup, which can be settled." So it's going to be better than bothering the Queen Mother, right? ”

"That's what Concubine Fu said." The purpose of the crown princess's request to the queen was mainly to see Concubine Cui, the queen mother didn't see her here, she was happy to save some effort, she would not insist on asking for an audience at the moment, and asked Fu Chongrong about the current situation of the queen mother, said some words, and left.

The journey from Mingren Palace to Xifu Palace is not short, it was dusk when she arrived at Xifu Palace, and Concubine Cui was very surprised to see her eldest daughter-in-law coming: "How did you enter the palace?" ”

"The daughter-in-law is accompanying His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is now serving in Xuanming Palace, and he has no time to separate, so he sent his daughter-in-law to visit the imperial grandmother and concubine on his behalf." The crown princess said respectfully, "Unknown mother concubine has been better these two days?" ”

Concubine Cui's face changed when she heard this, and she sent away the palace people in the palace first, and then pointed at the crown princess and scolded angrily: "Why are you so confused?!" Xuanming Palace has been jointly controlled by the Su family and Daiguo during this time, it is a wolf's den for Xiao'er, you can just let him into the palace, this will leave him there alone, and make an excuse to run out, isn't it the idea that after killing Xiao'er, Zhong Ling can still be a princess when he is young? ! ”

The crown princess was suddenly scolded by her mother-in-law for such a slashing of her head and face, but she was not angry but happy, and secretly thought in her heart: "In this way, my mother-in-law really doesn't know that my father is very likely to be pretending to be sick?!" ”

Concubine Cui is also the daughter of an official family, and she has been immersed in the palace for many years, even if she can't talk about her vision in major matters, she is not a person who will rashly scold her serious daughter-in-law - such a gaffe at the moment can only show that Concubine Cui is upset and panicked!

The crown princess lowered her head to hide the sneer at the corner of her mouth, and pretended to be aggrieved: "How dare a daughter-in-law say this, concubine?" It's really that His Royal Highness has to enter the palace, and his daughter-in-law can't stop him, so he can only ask His Highness to bring his daughter-in-law with him! And the imperial grandmother and the mother concubine are not very good in the past two days, they are known to the harem of the previous dynasty, since the daughter-in-law and His Royal Highness have come to the palace, how can they only care about the father and the emperor, and ignore the imperial grandmother and you? It's just that now my father needs people the most, so my daughter-in-law will go to the emperor's grandmother and you on behalf of His Royal Highness! ”

He took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and said, "As for saying that the daughter-in-law deliberately threw His Highness alone in the Xuanming Palace, the daughter-in-law would never dare to admit it-if the daughter-in-law is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, before entering the palace, when His Royal Highness repeatedly asked his daughter-in-law to stay in the East Palace to preside over the overall situation, how could the daughter-in-law insist on accompanying His Highness?" ”

Concubine Cui actually knew that she had been impetuous, but it was difficult for her not to be impetuous: since she was humiliated by the acting princess that year, and she has not received justice since then, her only hope is that after her eldest son ascends the throne, she will settle this account with the acting princess and the entire Ji family!

- In fact, when Concubine Cui entered the palace as a young man, she was neither a concubine nor had the treatment of a pampered room, nor did she feel that she could not bear any grievances. But who told her eldest son that she was made a prince at the age of four or five?

As the biological mother of the prince, the prince's position has been so stable over the years, Concubine Cui has the hope of revenge, so naturally she will not persuade herself to endure the calm for a while, but will only brew all the humiliation and hatred, waiting for the day when the moon will dawn!

However, just after Emperor Xianjia fell ill again and again, when Concubine Cui thought that hope was getting closer and closer, the situation suddenly changed - the prince was actually deposed!

How can Concubine Cui accept this?!

"I don't need you to watch here, you can go back to Xuanming Palace and watch Xiao'er!" Concubine Cui took a deep breath, suppressed the mania in her heart, and said coldly, "Now there are no outsiders here, and I won't be wordy: our mother's future future will depend on Xiao'er in the final analysis!" No matter how filial you are to me, in case Xiao'er has a good ......"

After saying this, he felt unlucky, and slapped the edge of his lodging hard, and said, "Anyway, you should go back quickly—wait, how is Your Majesty now?" ”

Concubine Cui suddenly thought that the crown princess said that she went to Mingren Palace first and then came to herself, so it has been a while since the couple entered the palace, but there is no news unfavorable to the prince from Xuanming Palace so far, she doesn't believe that the queen and the princess will be merciful - then, maybe the emperor can still be saved?

With such a fluke mentality, Concubine Cui couldn't help but sit up straighter, "Can you see Your Majesty with your own eyes?" ”

"If you go back to your mother's concubine, your daughter-in-law will go to the palace with Her Royal Highness to serve her father." The crown princess was waiting for her to ask, and immediately said with worry in her eyes, "Father, the emperor, he ...... He's ...... now."

Ai Ai for a while, the crown princess described "The father is indeed a living dead now, and the queen mother is in charge of the whole Xuanming Palace", only to hear Concubine Cui's eyelids jumping wildly, muttering: "This is ...... This...... How good is that? How is it good?! ”

The crown princess lowered her eyes and whispered: "Your Royal Highness said that the matter has come to this point, and it is good to be able to do your filial piety to your father and mother." ”

"I heard that Yan Guogong is also in Xuanming Palace?" Concubine Cui did not have the slightest doubt about the princess's words, after all, when she personally persuaded her son to kill the monarch before, the prince would rather die than agree - but the prince was willing to accept his fate, but Concubine Cui couldn't swallow this breath! She thought for a moment and said, "Is he still there?" ”

The crown princess's mind was racing, and she said, "Yes." ”

Concubine Cui narrowed her eyes and said, "It is said that it was your idea for him to enter the palace to serve His Majesty?" It's true that Duke Yan Guo grew up in the palace, and he is very cordial with His Majesty among the emperors and nephews, but you don't want to think about what the situation is like in the Duke of Yan's mansion: their husband and wife are young, but they don't live with their elders, and now Mrs. Yan Guo is still pregnant, you think about it well for Xiao'er, but you can't help but be too inconsiderate of Mrs. Yan Guo! ”

"The lesson of the mother concubine is that the daughter-in-law did not think about this matter." The crown princess meekly admitted her mistake, "Then the daughter-in-law will go to talk to the queen mother and Ah Xu, and let him go back to take care of Brother Song and sisters?" ”

"He has been sent by you to this palace for so many days, and he is not short of one or two nights." Concubine Cui said, "What's more, now that the sun has set, he suddenly went back, the Yanguo Mansion was not prepared at all, and he was suddenly in a hurry, isn't this a matter for Mrs. Yanguo?" What kind of thoughtfulness? ”

The crown princess said apologetically: "The daughter-in-law is really confused-the daughter-in-law will go and say it later, let Ah Xuming'er go back again?" ”

"But over there in the Yanguo Mansion, if you go out of the palace smoothly later, go and say hello, and let Mrs. Yanguo prepare in advance." Concubine Cui added, "In this way, Ming'er and their little couple will not be caught off guard by reunion, right?" ”

- The Emperor can't live any longer!

Otherwise, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to the crown prince, and it will also become more and more unfavorable to Concubine Cui!

It's just that although Concubine Cui had this decision before, she had no choice but to rush the prince to really be poisoned, if Emperor Xianjia died at that time, a prince who was unconscious and God knows if he could survive and whether he could return to normal if he survived, why should he serve the public? ! Maybe when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces ascended the throne as the crown prince in front of Ling, they discussed Yichu in front of Ling!

After all, the charge of the Jianling bloody case is still on the head of the prince! If you really want to change the prince, you don't need to find another reason.

So after Concubine Cui sent someone to communicate with the crown princess at night, she could only vomit blood and endure it!

And now, the crown prince can be regarded as able to get up, and Concubine Cui naturally has the idea of killing the emperor and letting her son ascend to the throne - but she never expected that after her stupid son could get up, the first thing he did was to enter Xuanming Palace to fulfill his filial piety regardless of the danger!

If she does this to the emperor, will Empress Su, who presides over the Xuanming Palace, kill the crown prince too?!

"Fortunately, there is still a Yan Guogong in Xuanming Palace, and there is also a Zhongling under Xiao'er's knees!" Concubine Cui thought coldly, "Xiao'er entered the palace to serve Your Majesty today, if Your Majesty is gone tonight, Xiao'er is also gone, how can outsiders not doubt it?" Of course, the queen can use her identity and power to temporarily cover up the news - but if she sends the news that Yan Guogong will return home the next day to the Yanguo Mansion later, if Yan Guogong doesn't go back tomorrow, how can Mrs. Yan Guo not be suspicious? Although the Song family is not from a good background, her mother-in-law is Your Majesty's sister-in-law! If you know this, how can you ignore it? Although the eldest princess never asks about political affairs, she is not easy to mess with! ”

And Song Yixiao's biological mother is still the stepconcubine of King Hengshan!

King Hengshan is certainly a neutral faction, never involved in the matter of competing for the throne, and now he is guarding his mother's filial piety and not asking about the world - but he is a clan in the end!

If you don't say anything else, how can you ignore the emperor's safety?!

King Hengshan is not a prince who was frightened like King Yi, his ancestor is a king who relies on merit and not just blood, and his status in the clan and the court has never been low!

At that time, he will be out of the court, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom will take the lead in the clan, even if Queen Su and the eldest princess of the acting country run the Xuanming Palace like an iron bucket, how can they resist the raging questioning?

At that time, the fact that Emperor Xianjia was in a great line could not be concealed, and if the prince was alive, he would naturally ascend the throne as a matter of course; If the crown prince is gone, then Concubine Cui, who did not suspect Gu Shao, believes that the courtiers who supported the prince in the previous dynasty will definitely go all out to investigate the queen and the acting princess for plotting to usurp the throne, and at the same time spare no effort to support the king of Zhonglingjun!

Even if Da Rui does not have an example of the emperor's grandson ascending the throne beyond the prince's sons, how many sons does Emperor Xianjia have?

After the King of Wei and the King of Zhao were dragged into the whirlpool of killing the king, there was only the King of Shu who was the same age as the King of Zhongling, and the other son of Concubine Cui who was raised by herself, King Liang!

And although King Liang does not have a reputation for being virtuous and capable, compared to the eight-year-old King of Shu, normal ministers will propose to set him up - after all, the King of Shu does not have rumors such as talent and intelligence, let go of the prince who has become a family and is about to become a father, and set up a young son who is not even ten years old and is not a descendant, how can such a courtier not be suspected of ill-intentioned intentions and want to usurp power while the young lord is ignorant?

What do you think, if the emperor dies tonight, Concubine Cui's future will only be brighter!

"Do what you proposed last time!" Send the princess away - After confirming that the daughter-in-law had left the palace safely, Concubine Cui used the agreed secret call to go back to the elderly palace maid and ordered in a deep voice.

It's just that no one expected that that night, the genius was dark, and a shocking news came out from Xuanming Palace:

The emperor woke up!!
