Chapter 225: It's Time for the Fire!
Seeing Shen Ninghua stunned, Baili Qingcang's eyes moved: "Ninghua, what's wrong, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”
Shen Ninghua immediately came back to his senses: "Back to my father, Ninghua is fine, I just remembered that I just saw An Qing go out, and she looked extremely haggard, and she was a little worried in her heart, father, you also know that Anqing's sister is a little introverted, and Yang Lin's death has hit her hard." ”
Baili Qingcang sat behind the imperial case and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid her appearance is not because of Yang Lin's death." ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled, thinking of the rumors that Baili Anning told her before, her heart sank slightly, and she said puzzled: "It's not because of Yang Lin?" ”
"Well, Yang Ge has been here, please let me dissolve the marriage contract between Anqing and Yang Lin."
"Elder Yang Ge please...... Father seems to have other plans? Shen Ninghua asked tentatively.
Baili Qingcang's face sank: "Well, I have some plans. Ning Hua, what do you think of the queen? ”
Hearing his sudden change of topic, Shen Ninghua's heart trembled suddenly, and the fingers on his side couldn't help but move: "Father, as a junior, Ning Hua shouldn't judge the elders no matter what he says." However, in my heart, the queen mother treats us very leniently, and her reputation among the ministers of the court and the central government is also good, and the people also love her, and she has been favored by my father for many years, and the master of the harem who helps my father and emperor to assist in the harem is naturally excellent. ”
Baili Qingcang's eyes were cold: "The people love and the ministers support you, what you said is good, from this point of view, it is excellent." Ning Hua, I told you to investigate the hidden drugs in the harem before, and you should have found a lot of content. ”
Harboring drugs in the harem? It's been a long time since this matter was asked...... Could it be that the father has investigated something else?
"Father, you also know that this matter is very involved, and many facts are not qualified for us to investigate.
Shen Ninghua raised his eyes and looked at Baili Qingcang's expression carefully, and found that his expression eased after listening to his words, and his heart was suddenly relieved, glad that he didn't beat around the bush when he spoke just now.
Baili Qingcang nodded: "Ning Hua, I will secretly hand over one more thing to you now." ”
"Please ask my father to command."
"I want to investigate the queen, you can help me collect evidence."
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes in shock: "Father, you want to investigate the queen?" ”
Baili Qingcang's face was dark, and a faint cold glow flashed: "I not only want to investigate the queen, but I also want to bring down the Zhao family!" ”
Hearing this, Shen Ninghua only felt a chill behind his back: "Bring down the Zhao family?" Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is there......"
The queen is the prince's mother-in-law, and the Zhao family is the prince's mother, if the Zhao family falls, it will be equivalent to directly cutting off half of the prince's sky, and then the court will not be turned upside down?
Baili Qingcang's eyebrows furrowed: "The prince is a good one, and he is also my own son, it is enough to have me as a backer." "His impression of the crown prince is still good, but the Zhao family is too powerful, if the new monarch ascends the throne, then the mother family will definitely become a disaster, so it must not be tolerated!
Shen Ninghua felt a chill in his heart, he could almost imagine the stormy winds and waves in the future, what the emperor was thinking was good, but the prince might not think like this.
Now between several princes, there has not been a quarrel to the point of fighting each other for power and profit, that is because the Zhao family is strong, the prince's position is stable, several princes dare to make small moves in private, but they dare not fight in the open, if the backer behind the prince falls, it is equivalent to being cut off his wings, and then I don't know what the consequences are.
Shen Ninghua was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Baili Qingcang suppressed the tyranny in his heart, and his face softened a little: "Ning Hua, my father knows that you are capable, and he also knows that the queen has intended to be unfavorable to you many times, so he will hand over this matter to you, you can rest assured, you are only responsible for collecting evidence, don't rush forward, it doesn't matter if it drags on for a long time, be sure to pay attention to confidentiality, and don't let the Zhao family find out." ”
"Yes, Erchen understands."
"Well, now that I'm dragging Anqing's marriage contract, I want to make the harem turbulent, you look at the queen and see how she will act!"
"Yes."
In Ningkun Palace, Zhao Huiying looked at the nails newly dyed with dankou, and her expression looked a little lazy.
Fang Xue waved her hand to let a little eunuch at the gate of the palace walk away, and walked into the hall quickly: "Niangniang, Princess Zhaohua stayed in the south study for about an hour before coming out. ”
Zhao Huiying raised her eyebrows: "One hour, hehe, it seems that our emperor doesn't know what to explain to Shen Ninghua?" ”
Fang Xue pursed her lips: "The emperor has retreated, our people can't find out, but Shen Ninghua's face was as usual when he came out, and it shouldn't be a big deal." ”
"Looks like usual?" Zhao Huiying sneered, "Shen Ninghua is scheming and similar to a fox spirit, and he can see what is wrong with those eyeliners." Now she and Chu Junyi are the most popular people in front of the emperor, and the emperor regards them as confidants, protecting and pampering them like eyeballs, so that our people have recently reined in their hands and feet, maybe now the emperor is asking them to check us. ”
Fang Xue nodded: "Yes, don't worry, the slave has already been ordered, and there will be no problem." ”
Zhao Huiying carefully put on the sapphire blue armor, raised her hand to admire it for a moment, and asked, "What about Baili Anqing, don't you eat or drink now?" ”
"Yes, I heard that I haven't eaten for almost three days."
"Hehe, it doesn't seem to be completely useless, let's go see this poor princess."
The location of the palace in Baili Anqing is more partial, the courtyard is planted with pines and cypresses mixed with a few plum blossoms, the pines and cypresses are dark green, at first glance and black in general, as soon as you enter the door, there is a kind of cold feeling.
Zhao Huiying frowned and entered the door, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a white shadow rushing over, and her heart trembled violently.
Fang Xue stepped forward to block Zhao Huiying, and said coldly at Baili Anqing: "Princess Anqing, how can you be so rude and collide with the queen mother, what should you do?" ”
Zhao Huiying took a closer look, only to find that the person who pounced on her was Baili Anqing.
She was only wearing a thin white undershirt, and her whole person was so thin that she was out of shape: "Queen Mother, the son is guilty, please punish the Queen Mother." ”
A look of disgust flashed in Zhao Huiying's eyes, but she patiently bent down and helped her up: "Anqing, what are you doing?" You maids and maids have watched your master trample on your body so badly, and now that the weather is so cold, let your master wear such thin clothes? ”
The surrounding palace maids were already kneeling, and when they heard this, they couldn't wait to fall to the ground: "Ask Niangniang for forgiveness, ask Niangniang for forgiveness." ”
Zhao Huiying turned her head and coldly ordered the grandmother who followed behind her: "Pull all these people down, and punish them with twenty rods to set an example!" ”
"Yes, sissy."
Seeing the surrounding palace maids being dragged down with their mouths covered, the anger in Zhao Huiying's heart finally subsided a little: "Anqing, if you have anything to say, the queen mother will naturally make decisions for you, why bother tossing yourself like this?" ”
Baili Anqing trembled like a leaf in the wind, knelt on the ground and tilted his head, and grabbed Zhao Huiying's skirt with a pair of miserable white hands: "Queen Mother, only you can help me, please save your sons." ”
"If you have anything to say, the queen mother can call the shots, and she will naturally help you make the decisions."
"Mother, my father wants to marry me to a dead man!"
Zhao Huiying frowned: "Nonsense, you are the emperor's biological daughter, how could the emperor do this." ”
"Really." Baili Anqing bit his lip stubbornly, "My father called me today, saying that he would not dissolve the marriage contract between me and the Yang family, Queen Mother, I don't want to marry a dead man, I don't want it!" ”
"The emperor actually said this......" Zhao Huiying sighed, looking at Baili Anqing's eyes full of pity, "Anqing, the queen mother has no way to ......"
Seeing her look, Baili Anqing screamed and collapsed, she was a soldier every day, Zhao Huiying's eyes were like a mountain pressing on her heart, crushing her last bit of hope: "Queen Mother, please save me, as long as I don't let me marry a dead man, I am willing to do anything." ”
The corners of Zhao Huiying's lips hooked suddenly: "Okay, you child, how can the queen mother ignore you, get up." Fang Xue, come over to help Princess Anqing clean up, my princess of Da'an Kingdom can't be so embarrassed and shabby. ”
Tidying up, Baili Anqing recovered some of her spirits, but her expression was still with trepidation, for fear that Zhao Huiying would ignore her again: "Queen Mother, what should I do?" ”
Zhao Huiying lowered her eyes slightly: "Anqing, you should also know that once the emperor makes a decision, he will not change it easily, so this matter must be changed before the emperor makes a clear decree." ”
"Yes, the Queen Mother is right."
"But you also know that the marriage of this princess is not a trivial matter, and logically speaking, except for the emperor, no one is qualified to decide on his own."
"Yes, Queen Mother, what should I do?"
"Have you heard of Princess Liulan?"
Baili Anning was stunned: "Princess Liulan, is the queen mother saying that Princess Liulan robbed her sister's horse?" ”
Zhao Huiying smiled: "It is rumored that Princess Liulan robbed Princess Liuqin's concubine, saying that she was selfish and did not care about sisterhood at all, but if she didn't do that at the beginning, I am afraid that she would have been married to a wild land and relatives and lost her life." ”
Baili Anning Anqing's expression shook violently: "The queen mother wants me to follow Princess Liulan?" ”
The smile on Zhao Huiying's lips became more and more obvious: "Anqing, the queen mother is also a woman, so she naturally understands your thoughts." Although Princess Anning's colt is not brilliant enough, she has a deep love for Anning, although she has only been married for a few days, but it can also be seen that the two will live in the future. ”
Baili Anqing nodded silently.
Zhao Huiying continued: "And Princess Zhaohua and her concubine are even more enviable. Before getting married, Chu Junyi was able to spare his life for Ninghua, and the two got the emperor's marriage under the pleasure of the two lovers, and their lives were so sweet and oily, which the gods couldn't envy. What's more, Chu Junyi is handsome and has excellent martial arts, and he is the emperor himself who gave him the title of Zuodu Imperial History, which can be described as a young magnate, and he treats Princess Zhaohua with deep affection and unswerving. ”
Baili Anqing bit his lip tightly, and the jealousy in his eyes almost overflowed.
Zhao Huiying narrowed her eyes, and secretly said in her heart: The fire is coming.
