"What else is there to play?" The emperor's voice broke the silence in the court and brought everyone back to reality from their shock.

Everyone was ready to punish Nan Xuanjin, but they didn't expect the emperor to directly let Nan Xuanjin go to the border, which was unexpected by everyone.

"Since Zhong Aiqing has no intention of playing, let's retreat." The emperor had not slept all night, and the blue and black under his eyes had already shown his exhaustion.

Concubine De's party reacted at this time, and Concubine De's father took the brunt of it and said, "The emperor can't!" Thinking that Concubine De had just passed away, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince did not deliberately assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The scene in Concubine De's mourning hall yesterday has long been rumored to be boiling, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows about civil and military affairs, not to mention that Concubine De's father witnessed the "assassination" of the four princes in Yongde Palace.

If you want to cure the crimes of the four princes, it is better to push the queen out, now that Concubine De is dead, the status of their family is definitely not as good as before, if they don't do something, I am afraid that the entire family will be ruined in their own hands.

"If you really want to talk about crimes, doesn't the emperor plan to hold the queen responsible?" Concubine De's father stood up straight, like a general who was going to die, regretting not refusing to die.

It's not that the emperor really doesn't plan to deal with Concubine De's death, but after all, this is his own family matter, and even Concubine De's father is not qualified to ask.

The emperor was already a little unhappy in his heart, but Concubine De's father didn't seem to understand the emperor's face, and continued to say loudly: "Does the emperor really ignore the feelings of the old minister? Is this how he treats his courtiers? Did the courtiers send their daughters to the palace, and let them die in vain? ”

The emperor was really angry this time, and immediately slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

The civil and military officials who had listened to those words had already begun to talk about it, but now that the emperor was angry, he really didn't dare to speak.

Who knew that he ignored the emperor's anger, and continued: "The old minister begs the emperor to give the old minister an explanation, so that the old minister can be relieved and return to his hometown. ”

Everyone sighed in their hearts that his actions seemed to be persecuting the emperor, but it was better to find a better reason to go into hiding.

He really thinks so, Concubine De fell, and the fourth prince injured the prince, the queen will definitely not let them go. It's better to give the queen a stumbling block first, and take her family into hiding, so that she can be regarded as avenging An Ge and protecting the family.

It's not that the emperor doesn't understand this truth, no matter what Nan Xuanjin says, he is also his son, and he won't really want his life, and letting him go to the border is just to let him have a good experience.

But the emperor couldn't say this, and at the same time, he wanted to use this matter to beat the queen's faction.

Liu Zongzheng naturally wouldn't let Concubine De's father succeed, so he immediately stood up and said, "Master Ji, why don't I understand what you say. Not to mention the queen mother for the time being, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince by the four princes is a certainty, if you want to exonerate His Royal Highness the Four Princes, I am afraid that all civil and military officials are fools, right? ”

He didn't pause, and continued: "What's more, after His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince assassinated the Empress Niang, he didn't listen to the emperor's dissuasion, and continued to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, if he continued to indulge His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I'm afraid it would ......."

Everyone knows the meaning of Liu Zongzheng's words, this time he can assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, and next time I am afraid that the emperor will assassinate him.

The emperor couldn't hear the meaning of Liu Zongzheng's words, and immediately his face changed, and he said coldly: "Liu Zhiren, your words are too much. ”

Liu Zongzheng immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, Weichen is all for your good!" His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince should be punished no matter what, a small punishment and a big punishment. ”

Master Ji looked at Liu Zhiren's appearance of hypocrisy and righteousness, and he was even more annoyed.

"No more." The emperor suddenly said coldly.

"I've made up my mind, so you two don't need to say more. Let's retreat. After the emperor finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving the stunned civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Andelu sang a song and retreated, and left with the emperor.

The courtiers saluted the empty dragon chairs and withdrew from the Jinluan Hall one after another.

"Lord Liu, what does the emperor mean by this?" Another minister of the queen's faction was puzzled by Liu Zhiren.

Liu Zhiren actually didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, but since their goal had been achieved, they didn't care what the emperor was thinking for the time being, as long as they planned what they were going to do next.

"It's not clear for the time being, let's just stand still and look at the instructions of the queen mother." Liu Zhiren's voice was neither sad nor joyful, but he said a little indifferently.

"Subordinate understands." The man said respectfully.

Liu Zhiren nodded and left the palace quickly.

Back at home, Liu Zhiren hurriedly arranged for someone to send a letter to the queen, after all, the sooner the queen knew about the matter, the better.

......

Fengxi Palace.

The emperor and the queen sat at the table in the main hall, drinking tea calmly.

According to the past, the emperor has never been so kind to the queen, and most of the time he is cold, but today, after the emperor entered Fengxi Palace, he did not have a displeased expression.

"What's wrong with Yu'er?" It was rare for the emperor to speak so softly to the queen, which made the queen a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Yu'er is fine, but the wound is really deep, which makes the concubine feel distressed when she sees it." As she spoke, the queen squeezed out two tears from her eyes.

The emperor was disgusted by the queen's appearance, but he didn't show it on the surface, but looked at her meaningfully and said, "Since Yu'er is fine, I can rest assured." But about An Ge, the queen doesn't have anything to say to me? ”

"People die like lights go out, even if An Ge was at odds with his concubines during his lifetime, but in the end, now that everyone is dead, it's not good to care so much." The queen sighed faintly and said: "It's really bitter for the good concubine, not to mention the loss of the child, and now even the sisters around me have passed away." ”

The emperor sneered, "Why pretend to be stupid in front of me? Did An Ge kill you? ”

The queen was stunned when she heard the emperor's words, although the emperor had never believed in herself, and she had never had a good face for herself, but her heart suddenly throbbed.

What does that taste like? Bitterness, pain.

She reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "What if the concubine said that it wasn't the concubine who did it?" Why is the emperor unwilling to trust his concubines once? ”

The emperor smiled mockingly, looked directly into the queen's eyes and said, "You should know in your heart why I doubt you." And why ask such a pointless question? ”

He paused and continued: "Since the queen doesn't know, then I can only wait for me to find out before making a final conclusion." ”
