Seeing a trace of remorse on King Yong'an's face, the queen took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes. In fact, it was to hide the somewhat uncontrollable smile.

She, the emperor, is so filial to her that she looks a little silly.

After waiting for a long time, Xia Wenxuan saw that King Yong'an had no follow-up, and her heart suddenly turned cold. Speaking of people who can't do it, how can she expect it? On the way here just now, he also swore to her that he would reason with his mother and persuade his mother.

Why did his mother ask him rhetorically, and he showed his timidity? This combat power is too scummy.

Ay. Xia Wenxuan sighed in her heart, it seemed that she could only go on it by herself. She knew the queen well, and carefully knocked on the side: "Auntie, if the emperor doesn't arrive at the scene today, I'm afraid that Gongzi Chu will fall to the ground." ”

As soon as these words came out, the face of the queen's King Yong'an changed.

When King Yong'an heard this, he was suspicious again, or he was inspired, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, you obviously want to harm the imperial brother. You instructed the guards at the gate of the Tianfeng Hall to prevent your retainers from entering and leaving freely. You're just afraid that your sons will know about the emperor's brother. You also locked up your sons and cousin Wen Xuan in the Tianfeng Palace. ”

The queen's face was frowning, and she looked at people's hearts and shuddered: "Nonsense, how could the queen mother do this!" If so, how did you end up at the execution ground? ”

When Xia Wenxuan heard this, she smiled coldly in her heart, obviously the queen had done it, and she was still so strong. She looked at King Yong'an to see how he answered.

King Yong'an ignored his mother's arguments, his face was cold, and his expression was extremely solemn: "Queen Mother, why are you so vicious, Chu Tiankuo is the crown prince is the royal brother of the son." How can you bear to make it difficult for your son, and you want to harm your son's relatives! ”

This sounds pretty much the same, and it's bold! Xia Wenxuan was satisfied and secretly gave a thumbs up to King Yong'an.

When King Yong'an saw this, his face was a little pale with anger, and he suddenly blushed a little. These words were indeed what he wanted to say to his mother, and he held it in his stomach without vomiting or being unhappy. He also knew that saying this would inevitably hurt his mother's heart, but he said it anyway.

Because, his queen mother and his royal brother are his relatives. He really didn't want to see his mother persecute his imperial brother, and he didn't want to see his queen mother and his imperial brother make enemies.

If his mother killed his royal brother, he would be even more sad.

Sure enough, the queen's face tensed all of a sudden, and her shoulders kept shaking with anger, which was difficult to suppress. If someone told her these words, she might uncontrollably hit someone on the spot. However, the person who said this was her royal son. That's the only thing she thinks about in this world, the person she cares about the most.

If the queen has any weakness, then her weakness is definitely her emperor. At this moment, her favorite emperor scolded her for being vicious! Scold her for the sake of defending her enemies!

This is undoubtedly digging her heart with a sharp blade, and the pain is incomparable.

The palace maid and eunuch in the palace didn't dare to say it openly, and secretly talked about her viciousness, but she endured it.

Those courtiers, even her Xia family, thought that she was vicious and kept a certain distance from her, and she also suffered silently.

The emperor, her husband, also pointed at her nose and scolded her for being vicious, she was helpless and obedient.

Now, even the emperor she loves the most, loves and loves the most, which is her future dependence, and scolds her for being vicious. She couldn't bear it anymore.

Her tears, held back for a long time, still couldn't be contained, and fell out of her eyes one by one.

King Yong'an cried sadly when he saw his mother being scolded by him, and hurriedly knelt down to her: "Mother, it's the son's fault that the rearmen are wrong!" Don't cry after the mother! Erchen didn't want to take the throne with the imperial brother, and hoped that the queen mother would comply with Erchen's wishes and let the imperial brother go. Erchen will definitely be filial to his mother for the rest of his life and rely on his mother! ”

If you don't fight for the throne and don't be the emperor, how can you rely on her? Hearing this, the queen cried even more sadly. There is no turning back when she opens the bow, she has done those hurtful things, I am afraid she will not be able to write them off. Unless she becomes the emperor, she can be kept peaceful for the rest of her life. How can her emperor understand this?

Xia Wenxuan thought that the queen was just acting, and tears were just temporary props. She thought that when the queen heard King Yong'an say this, she would magically hold back her tears.

To Xia Wenxuan's surprise, the queen still cried, which made King Yongan panic, so he had to coax his mother.

Xia Wenxuan was helpless, it seemed that it would be difficult for King Yongan to persuade the queen and ask the queen to give up persecuting Chu Tiankuo. The queen cried, made trouble, and hanged herself like this. Not to mention that King Yong'an is so filial, even her niece, who doesn't have much affection, can't take the queen.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Xia Wenxuan said that reaching out and not hitting his face was full of tears.

Xia Wenxuan can only rely on herself. Although she was a little disappointed in King Yong'an, she could understand him, and he did his best.

It's just that Xia Wenxuan's thoughts about the queen are difficult to understand. Even she, a little woman who doesn't understand the court and doesn't understand politics, can see that being an emperor is not a good job. Why does the queen have to fight for the throne for King Yong'an?

In terms of the passing of the throne to Chu Tiankuo, she also supported the emperor. Compared with the crown prince Chu Tiankuo and King Yong'an, it is obvious that Chu Tiankuo is more suitable to be the emperor.

Although Chu Tiankuo grew up in the people, he lacked officialdom and political edification. However, the emperor is still on the throne, and when Chu Tiankuo enters the palace, under the emperor's carry, Chu Tiankuo will change by leaps and bounds. As far as his personal receptivity is concerned, he is a good material to be an emperor, and he will become a good emperor in the future.

And King Yong'an grew up in the palace and was constrained by the rules of the palace everywhere, but in this court of open and secret fighting, he still maintained a heart as pure as gold and was not dyed black.

It's a magical thing. The queen is so calculated, but her emperor is as simple as a blank piece of paper. King Yong'an is not suitable to be the emperor, even Xia Wenxuan, a layman, can see this face, and even the emperor has made it clear that he will not pass the throne to King Yong'an. The emperor just wanted King Yong'an to live happily and peacefully.

In fact, being a prince is no worse than being an emperor. Why did the queen have to let her emperor take the throne? The point is that King Yong'an is not the material to be the emperor, and he does not have that ambition, doesn't the queen know this?

Could it be that the queen thinks that she can assist her emperor to be a good emperor?

Xia Wenxuan stood there, letting the flying thoughts flash through her mind one by one, and then disillusioned one by one.

King Yong'an had already stood up, stood beside the queen, held the queen's shoulders, and coaxed with good words. It was like coaxing a crying little woman.

At this moment, a maid named Xiaohua hurriedly ran in.

"Queen Mother......" Listening to the sound of laughter, she was a little hurried, and then looked at her expression, full of panic.

Xiaohua ran to the queen, and wanted to say something, but when he saw King Yongan and Xia Wenxuan, he swallowed back in a hurry. However, due to the incomparably anxious heart, the little face turned red.

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wunan Mountain in the northwest of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, after the heavy rain, the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun has tilted westward, and the clear blue sky has disappeared. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains still maintain the freshness and coolness after the rain, just like "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn." The realm.

Wunan Mountain, a mountain full of bamboo, a boundless sea of bamboo. At the highest place on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded and elegant dwelling, all made of bamboo, divided into two layers up and down, hanging a plaque, with four big characters "Wunan Villa" written on it. There is a large yard in front of the bamboo house, and the yard is planted with exotic grasses. When the breeze blows, you can smell the aroma of flowers and plants.

"Senior brother, you have to stay a few more days when you come back this time, we haven't seen each other for two years. I heard that everyone in the rivers and lakes calls you the son of a fan. A delicate-faced girl stood in the courtyard, wearing a white dress, no fat powder, but it was fresh and refined, like a budding white lotus, only to hear the girl's voice was extremely sweet: "Your martial arts are so powerful, I have your protection, and I am no longer afraid of encountering thieves and gangsters." ”

"I don't like to listen to flattery. I usually tell you to practice martial arts diligently, but you don't practice seriously. Senior brother Chu Tiankuo gently patted the head of the cigarette with the fan in his hand, put on a straight face, and pretended to be serious: "If you meet a bad person in the future, I don't care about you." ”

"Hmph, you don't care about the little junior sister." Yan Xiang pursed his lips, glared at Chu Tiankuo, turned his face away, and pretended to be angry.
