The two of them wandered all the way, turned two or three streets, and bought some bits and pieces. Seeing that it was noon, Xie Yanwan was a little hungry, so he walked towards the restaurant with Qiaosui.

I didn't want to just turn the corner of the street, and I saw the sound of a man smashing the wine jar on the street, and I heard a man cursing loudly: "There is no way for the faint king, there is no reason for heaven, and the dog emperor has lost the country by mistake!" ”

The man was wearing an ink-colored robe, with some wine stains on it, and the whole person was drunk, and even the eyes were a little less shiny, and they were replaced by a little bit of sloppiness.

Xie Yanwan only glanced at it slightly, then paused in an instant, and pulled Qiaosui to the side of the dark alley.

Qiao Sui was frightened by her action, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"Shh

Xie Yanwan gestured, and stood in the shadow with Qiao Sui, looking at the man who was scolding.

That's what she recognized, it was none other than the queen's brother, the current uncle Zhou Xing.

At this time, it is time to eat, and there are no longer a few people who come and go, because this is a prosperous place in the city, because many of the pedestrians passing by are high-ranking officials and nobles.

There were more and more people around him who stopped to see him, but Zhou Xing didn't know how to restrain himself, but became more excited, pointed in the direction of the imperial city and laughed wildly, and scolded: "Dog Emperor, there is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are unknown, Xichu is going to die, hahaha!" ”

Almost as he said this, a carriage stopped in place, and a middle-aged man got out of it.

"Uncle Guo, do you know what you're talking about?"

The person who came was Dali Siqing, who had been immersed in the dark prison all the year round, and even his body seemed to be surrounded by a circle of death. On weekdays, Zhou Xing would have to run away immediately when he saw this person. But today, somehow, he pushed away Dali Siqing and cursed: "This official naturally knows what I'm talking about, I said that the emperor is mediocre, and Xichu will die at his hands!"

”

As soon as he said this, Dali Siqing suddenly sneered, waved his hand, and the family behind him suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Xing's clothes, pressed his head and loaded it into the carriage.

Then, Dali Siqing stood in place again, pointed at a few people at random, and said lightly: "Take it back and be a witness." ”

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared back into the street that Xie Yanwan walked out again with Qiaosui.

Qiao Sui patted his chest and said in a low voice: "Does this uncle think that his life is not long, and he dares to insult the emperor in the street!" Fortunately, Dali Siqing is here, and he will definitely make him look good! ”

Unlike Qiao Sui's schadenfreude, Xie Yanwan's eyes were filled with a cold glow. She didn't expect that Feng Qizhi would be so neat and tidy, and the plan that was decided yesterday would be perfectly implemented today.

It's simple, but it's the most effective. After all, what is more infuriating than letting Zhou Xing curse the emperor on the street?

This time, Zhou Xing is finished!

As for the Zhou family, heh.

Sure enough, when Feng Qizhi came back that night, he brought back a message.

Zhou Xing insulted the emperor for misconduct, and he was already removed from his crown and wore a flower feather, removed from all positions, and demoted to a commoner. Not only that, the emperor made another decree, the three generations of men of the Zhou family are not allowed to be officials, and women are not allowed to enter the palace.

In other words, the emperor's holy decree completely cut off the back road of the Zhou family.

After all, the Zhou family's current hope is the queen and the crown prince. But three generations later, the queen and the prince have already entered the ground, and the Zhou family wants to turn over, but it is difficult to climb to the sky.

If it was placed in normal times, the queen would definitely be the first to come out to obstruct it, but she only used the threat of hitting the pillar yesterday to keep the position of the prince, and now how dare she offend Long Yan again to protect a Zhou family?

Even if she wants to protect it, it depends on whether the emperor agrees or not.

This move set an example for the chicken, and the emperor was out of a bad breath.

After learning about this, Xie Yanwan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Without the support of the mother's family, the queen wants to fight with Concubine Lian, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." ”

Presumably, the outcome of this battle will soon be known.

When she got the news, she was in a very happy mood, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she had a face that mixed charm and innocence, and the hearts of those who saw it were itchy.

Feng Qizhi took her in his arms and took a bite of it, and then sneered: "That's not necessarily, our emperor is very affectionate, if the queen stops, maybe the prince's position will be more stable." ”

Over the years, no one knew the emperor better than him. When he was young, he was full of sin, but when he was old, he was indecisive.

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan smiled with her eyebrows, played with Feng Qizhi's hair, and said disapprovingly: "Even if the concubine is here, even if the queen wants to stop, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

The war between women seems to have no gunsmoke, but it is ruthless and vicious.

Xie Yanwan's guess was indeed good.

Early the next morning, Concubine Lian summoned King Ning into the palace, saying that she had something to explain.

Shangguan Hanxiao knew what she was going to say, and he didn't want to go, but he remembered that she was his mother, so he had to dress up and enter the palace.

Originally, he and the prince were released from house arrest, but the prince cut himself off and was imprisoned, but Shangguan Hanxiao was unscathed and free.

In this regard, he didn't feel too proud in his heart, but he felt a little disappointed. He, the imperial brother, acted perversely and viciously, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to support the entire Western Chu.

It's just that he didn't say much in front of Concubine Lian.

On the contrary, Concubine Lian took the initiative to bring up this topic: "Now that the prince is incompetent, your father is already disappointed in him." Xiao'er, you have to seize this opportunity to behave well in front of your father, you know? ”

Regarding the fact that the crown prince was not deposed, even the concubine's heart was like a thorn, and she gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't attack yet, so she could only take advantage of this gap to teach her son to be more motivated.

However, her hopes are ultimately going to be disappointed.

Hearing Concubine Lian's words, Shangguan Hanxiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How does the mother concubine want her sons to behave?" ”

"Do you still need this palace to teach you, naturally I want your father to see your ability! Although the crown prince has not been deposed, what is the difference between him and a wasted person? As long as your father sees your talent, that position will be yours! ”

Even the more the concubine spoke, the more excited she became, but Shangguan Hanxiao's face was indifferent. It wasn't until after she finished speaking that Shangguan Hanxiao saluted and said lightly: "I'm afraid that this matter will disappoint the concubine, and the sons have no intention of taking the throne and are not willing to fight for it." If the royal brother can change for the better, it will be the best. Even if he doesn't change it well

, the father is in the prime of life, and there will be new heirs. As long as it is a good seedling, Erchen will be willing to assist him in the future. ”

As soon as he said this, Concubine Lian's face sank instantly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Shangguan Hanxiao, do you know what you're talking about?" That position, who in the world doesn't want it, why are you so incompetent! ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Hanxiao looked directly at her, and said with a straight face: "Everyone in the world wants it, but it doesn't include the sons, but also the concubine, please die of this heart." Besides, no matter who ascends the throne, you are the supreme concubine, why bother fighting? ”

The next moment, Shangguan Hanxiao's face was slapped heavily, and even the concubine pointed at him angrily and said, "Why did this palace give birth to such a wretch as you!" This palace tells you that this position, whether you fight for it or not, you can't help it! ”

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath and replied: "In the next two days, the mother concubine will give you Zhang Luo a concubine, you are not young, if you don't have the intention of this position, then you are ready to marry and prolong the heir!" ”

I didn't want her words to fall, but I saw Shangguan Hanxiao's gaze suddenly cool.

Then, he looked at Concubine Lian's eyes and asked word by word: "Could it be that in the eyes of the concubine, the sons only have this role?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, then the ministers will also talk about this today, if the mother concubine is Zhang Luo's choice of concubines, then the ministers will invite themselves to the frontier!"

Shangguan Hanxiao's words were loud and loud, and when he landed, Concubine Lian's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at him and scolded: "Why did this palace raise you such a white-eyed wolf!" ”

However, Shangguan Hanxiao turned a deaf ear to her scolding, saluted again, turned around and strode out.

"Shangguan Hanxiao, you come back to the palace!"

No matter how even the concubine shouted his name, Shangguan Hanxiao's figure walked farther and farther, and even his footsteps never slowed down by half a minute.

Seeing that Shangguan Hanxiao was leaving like this, even the concubine's eyes became more and more hateful.

Her son was kind-hearted and refused to fight, but the emperor never set his sights on him. On the contrary, it was the slut of the Zhou family who gave birth to such a vicious person, and the emperor still regarded him as a treasure in his heart!

The last time I was forgiven for training soldiers privately, this time I was forgiven for abusing and killing the palace people, every time it was like this, no matter how excessive the prince was, as long as the slut of the Zhou family pretended to be pitiful, the emperor would definitely be soft-hearted!

No, for the sake of her son's future, she must not let the Zhou family live, never!

……

Even the concubine made up her mind, but she didn't know that the one in the Fengyi Palace was also searching for ways to stabilize the position of the prince.

The queen was seriously injured when she hit the pillar, and she woke up leisurely today, she almost died, and finally got the position of prince to keep it temporarily. It's just that although the crown prince was not deposed, he was re-imprisoned by the emperor.

And this time, it's a real confinement. Not only the prince, but even the queen's Fengyi Palace has been replaced, and the people who come and go to serve are all fresh faces.

The queen hated in her heart, but she was helpless, after learning that her brother was disposed of, she was so angry that she almost fainted, and finally restrained herself and did not intervene in the matter.

The emperor was satisfied with her attitude, but the queen's heart was pierced with a thorn, and it hurt terribly.

That's her mother's family, it's her hope! The queen was so angry that she couldn't swallow it, but she smelled a fragrance, and immediately raised her head and asked, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
