Empress Cui pondered for a long time, closed her eyes for a while, and saw the corners of the grandmother's mouth twitching, so she said, "What's the matter, hurry up." ”

She, the queen, has always been elegant and calm, but with the disappearance of the tenth prince and the hard work of the day, her temperament couldn't help but become frizzy, and the grandmother didn't dare to test her patience again, so she could only stubbornly say: "Niangniang seems to have forgotten a place." ”

As soon as Mama said this, Empress Cui stood up suddenly, "You mean the secret passage?" ”

This is the grandmother who has been with her since she was a child, and she brought her into the palace, the degree of trust can be imagined, in addition to Queen Cui, she also knows that there is a secret passage under the Baifu Palace, and it is impossible for the ten princes to be in that kind of place, but if they are not there, where is they?

These thoughts were just a flash, Empress Cui had already stood up very quickly, reached into the inner room, carefully removed an extremely ordinary calligraphy and painting hanging on it, and groped on the wall for a while, and a door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Empress Cui stepped into the door very quickly, and Mama was busy carrying the lamp, but she did not light it, and followed closely behind.

"Be careful, it's a little stuffy inside." She came down once, knowing full well that at this time, she couldn't light the lamp at all.

Under normal circumstances, the door should be open for a while, and then go in after the inside is ventilated, but now the master is anxious, how can she speak?

Fortunately, the further down you go, the dimmer the light becomes, until it is pitch black.

When their eyes adjusted to the darkness, the mother lit the lamp.

Empress Cui suddenly ran towards a corner.

In that corner, there was a swaddling mass.

Mama only felt that her eyes were black, and she was busy biting the tip of her tongue.

Empress Cui had already opened the emperor-colored swaddling clothes very quickly, and the child inside had purple skin and a cold body, and Queen Cui hurriedly held the child in her arms and ran to it.

Although there was a lamp, it was not very bright in the end, and Queen Cui tripped on the steps all of a sudden, but she didn't care about it at all.

This is her lifeline!

She wouldn't allow him any accidents.

The Ten Princes were quickly taken to the secret passage by the stumbling Empress Cui.

Mama hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor.

The person who came was none other than Chen Zhangyuan.

The emperor has always been personally conditioning him.

But this time, when his hand was on the tip of the emperor's nose, he sat on the ground all of a sudden.

Empress Cui looked anxious, "Chen Zhangyuan, save Xiao Shi, you saved him, you are the great benefactor of the mother and son of the mourning family, and the mourning family will crown the eldest grandson of the emperor as the king tomorrow." ”

Chen Zhangyuan looked at Empress Cui, who looked crazy, and had to bite the bullet and say, "Niangniang, the emperor...... I've been there for more than 12 years! ”

Empress Cui suddenly pushed Chen Zhangyuan to the ground, "You are talking nonsense! ”

As she spoke, she picked up the child very quickly, and said lovingly: "Xiao Shi is just asleep, or it won't be long before he wakes up." ”

Chen Zhangyuan didn't know what to say.

I was about to leave, but I heard Queen Cui say lightly: "Before Xiao Shi's condition is not stable, Chen Zhangyuan should not go to other places for the time being." ”

Although there was ice in the Hundred Blessing Palace, Chen Zhangyuan immediately became drenched in cold sweat.

He was put under house arrest by Empress Cui.

And the Ten Princes will never be good, and in the end, he may be killed by this vicious woman!

Chen Zhangyuan was like a deflated pig's bubble, and it took a while to answer.

"Light benzoin for the main palace." Empress Choi ordered.

In any case, her child has finally been found, and she has to rest well before she has the energy to deal with the next things.

Mama answered yes, hurriedly lit incense, served the master to sleep, and then shook her head with a sigh.

In fact, in addition to the matter of the Ten Princes, she has another thing to tell the queen.

The news was sent by the Cui family.

Since Empress Cui took out the edict of the succession of the ten princes, Cheng Enhou has not had a good rest for a long time.

Mao Dingzhong's capture of Qiandi, the Cui family knew before Empress Cui in the deep palace, and Chengenhou also knew that Tubo was already in the west, waiting for the chaos within the Great Zhou Dynasty to get a piece of the pie.

Cheng Enhou suspected that someone in Da Zhou had exchanged news with Tubo! And the best candidate for this news should be Ning Wangfu! Although the succession edict that Empress Cui gave to the ten princes seemed seamless at first glance, Emperor Changsheng was not so faint and incompetent that he could give up the adult prince and directly choose a child who was only half a year old?

The clan is not satisfied with Empress Cui doing this, and will definitely think of other ways.

And the current Zampu of Tubo is the son-in-law of King Ning, and the seventh prince was also raised by King Ning!

They must be trying to use Tubo to put pressure on the Great Zhou this time, and then let the Seven Princes succeed to the throne!

But if that's the case, what should Queen Cui do?

What about the Cui family?

What made him even more frightened was that the Ten Princes had disappeared at this time!

At this time, they only knew that they were missing, and they did not know that the person was no longer there.

What a coincidence!

"The side concubine of the Seventh Prince, Cheng, used to be Princess Fengxiang's companion and lived in the palace for many years." Cui Lao Shangshu said to his wife like this.

Old Madam Cui frowned rarely, "Do you suspect that the Cheng clan took over the resources in Concubine Wu Hui's hands, and then used means to kidnap the Ten Princes?" ”

Cui Lao Shangshu did not speak.

He had nothing to say.

Without the Ten Princes, what can Empress Cui do?

But as the patriarch of the Cui clan, in addition to his daughter, he has three sons, more than a dozen grandchildren, and countless clansmen.

"Princess Fengxiang is pregnant now, and she has been greatly wronged, please take care of her side more." Mrs. Cui quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Princess Fengxiang is the sister of the Seven Princes and one mother, and such a big thing will definitely be found from Princess Fengxiang.

This is to remind Empress Cui to spy on Princess Fengxiang.

Cui Laoshangshu let out a long sigh, "The best way is to start with the murder case in Chen Guogong's mansion and kill two birds with one stone." ”

Anyway, there are so many protégés and former officials that it's not difficult to do this.

"The eldest princess of Qingyang is deeply favored by the emperor, and she is so heartbroken and crazy that she has ruined the lives of some ordinary people for no reason!" Cui Laoshangshu almost defined the whole thing in one sentence.

Old Madam Cui was a little worried, "Now that we are suffering from internal and external troubles, if we offend the eldest princess of Qingyang again, what if we are retaliated by her?" ”

Cui Laoshangshu smiled coldly, "It's easy to do, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”

Now that Emperor Changsheng is dead, the eldest princess of Qingyang has no biggest support, what more storms can she turn over?

disposed of the eldest princess of Qingyang, so as to give King Zheng and King Ning some deterrence, so that they would not dare to be too arrogant.

All that is needed is time.

As for Mao Dingzhong's rebellion, he has his own Zhang Xiang and his own people to find some capable generals to deal with, and the Cui family is better to be less involved at present.
