Concubine Xiang has served by the emperor's side for so long, so she naturally knows that the most noble saint of the Great Yue Kingdom is the most suspicious and fickle, obviously a moment ago she was suspicious that the prince wanted to harm him and refused to take the pill he sent, but in a blink of an eye, she was shocked by the prince's tearful performance, and she made up her mind in an instant. It seems that the person who knows His Majesty the Emperor the most in this Dayue Kingdom is really the new crown prince, no, or rather, the emperor of this Dayue Kingdom loves His Majesty this prince the most besides himself! Didn't he say it just now, he will always be his favorite son, and this will not change because of anyone, so whether it is King Yan or her newborn son, in his eyes, he is a pawn that can be abandoned for the prince......

It's just that, Your Majesty, do you really trust this prince so much?

If you see that this elixir can really kill people......

No one noticed the strange smile that quickly swept across the corners of Concubine Xiang's mouth and the grim ...... that slid under her eyes

"Your Majesty, then this elixir ......" Zhang Shichang walked up to the emperor, lowered his head and cautiously opened his mouth.

The emperor frowned, and looked at Zhang Shichang with some displeasure, the passion of the father and son embracing each other just now was still echoing in his chest, and he didn't have a reminiscence, but someone was so uninteresting that he mentioned this at this moment......

Zhang Shichang used to look at the emperor's face, how could he not understand what the emperor was thinking at the moment, and hurriedly raised his hand and slapped himself, "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave said the wrong thing." ”

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Zhang is also unintentional, so you can spare him this time." Concubine Xiang walked up to the emperor and persuaded softly.

The emperor twisted his eyebrows, raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Xiang, and then waved his hand at Zhang Shichang with some impatience, "Okay, okay, go down." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Shichang hurriedly responded while hunching his waist and quickly retreating.

As soon as Zhang Shichang left, the emperor's stirring thoughts just now suddenly dispersed cleanly, and a wisp of doubt came to his heart again, "Concubine Xiang, what did you mean by what Zhang Shichang said just now?" ”

"Grandpa Zhang?" Concubine Xiang frowned, thought for a moment, and then blessed the emperor, and said with a confused face, "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for being stupid, the concubine didn't hear what was wrong with Gonggong Zhang's words just now?" ”

"Didn't you?" The Emperor lifted the corners of his lips, and his slightly old face was gloomy and uncertain.

Zhang Shichang can wait by his side for so long, every word he says is cautious and cautious, and he obviously knows that the sentence just now will anger him, a cautious person like him should not say it, but he just said it, why is this?

The darkness and strife of the harem can always make people smart, because stupidity means death, so those who can survive are smart people. Therefore, today's Concubine Xiang can already guess what he is thinking from the emperor's subtle expression.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what Gonggong Zhang said wrong to make you unhappy, but the concubine knows that Gonggong Zhang has been waiting by your side since he was a child, and everything he said and did was for the good of Your Majesty." Concubine Xiang blessed her body, and her voice was soft with a hint of nervousness, as if she had mustered up the courage to dare to say this.

The emperor raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Xiang's white and tender face for a long time, compared to when she was a palace maid, her skin was much smoother, but the trace of cowardice in her eyes had been staring at for a long time, and she always revealed a point or two, this is a habit left by people who have been waiting for people for many years, even if she is in a high position one day, she can't change it.

Looking at Concubine Xiang's current appearance, the emperor couldn't help but think of Baozhu, who was also born as a palace maid, but such a cowardly person could take the risk of being beaten and whipped to comfort and take care of her, thinking of this, the emperor's impression of Concubine Xiang couldn't help but be a little better.

"Are you willing to speak for him?" The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, he beckoned to Concubine Xiang, and the gloom on his face dissipated a lot.

Concubine Xiang walked up to the emperor, sat on the emperor's lap softly, raised her eyes and stared at the emperor, a bright smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the concubine has also served in the Chongde Hall for many years in the past. When the concubine first came, she was clumsy, and she was reprimanded by Gonggong Zhang all day long, saying that Your Majesty, you like this and don't like that, which shows how much Gonggong Zhang cares about Your Majesty. ”

When Concubine Xiang said this, the emperor was holding her slightly rough fingers, and after listening, her dark eyes didn't know where to look, and she didn't answer Concubine Xiang's words for a long time, and she didn't know if she didn't hear it, or if she was thinking something.

"Your Majesty...... His Majesty ...... "Seeing that the emperor has not been there for a long time, Concubine Xiang called twice with some trepidation.

The emperor seemed to have just come back to his senses, he looked down at Concubine Xiang, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, the concubine just saw what the emperor was thinking, and she was a little worried, so she called twice." Concubine Xiang leaned meekly on the emperor's arms, and her voice was soft as if a gust of wind was blowing.

The emperor raised his hand and brushed Concubine Xiang's smooth cheeks, his gloomy eyes stared at Concubine Xiang again, and after a while, he spoke, "You say, did I eat the pill?" Still don't eat it? ”

Zhang Shichang urinated and waited beside him, he, he was trustworthy, as for the prince...... Thinking of what he had done, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little uncertain. If it's normal, it's just that, but after the news that he is still alive? By his nature, could he really do nothing? It is precisely because of this that at this time, Yang's dissection of his heart also seems to have a somewhat confusing taste......

"Your Majesty, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say it? That elixir can strengthen the body and prolong life......" Concubine Xiang got up, but she didn't look up at the emperor's eyes, but her voice came from underneath. It's just that this time, it is not as soft and smooth as just now, but it is inexplicably with a hint of depression.

"Yes, this elixir can strengthen the body and prolong life...... the emperor looked at Concubine Xiang for a long time, and after a while, his dull voice sounded again, "Otherwise, I will reward you with this elixir?" ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xiang raised her head suddenly, and her face could not hide her panic, "Your Majesty ......"

"What? You won't? Isn't it, do you suspect that there is something wrong with this elixir? The emperor's gloomy eyes were firmly locked on Concubine Xiang, and his voice became more and more gloomy.

How could he almost forget that Concubine Xiang's child died in the hands of the prince, and just now she was still competing with the prince, just for a while, how could she speak for the prince......

"Your Majesty, concubine...... Concubines...... Your Majesty, didn't you give this elixir to those little eunuchs a few days ago? Concubine Xiang was flustered several times, and finally said such a sentence from her mouth.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xiang, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, "Concubine Xiang, do you know what a great sin it is to suspect that the prince is poisoned!" ”

Concubine Xiang was startled, slipped off the emperor, and knelt on the ground with a 'poof', her voice was shocked and frightened, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't, the concubine doesn't ......"

"In that case, you can take the pill." The emperor looked at Concubine Xiang expressionlessly.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with this elixir, today, he must let this Concubine Xiang take this elixir. If there is no problem with this elixir, then it would be better, it means that what the prince said today is indeed from his sincerity, even if he knows that the prince is asking about this matter, he can also say that he is beating Concubine Xiang, but if there is a problem with this elixir......

Then he would have to do something else......

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Xiang stared at the emperor with frightened eyes, and two lines of eyes surged out.

"What? Don't you dare, don't you suspect that there is something wrong with this elixir? In that case, I will give you a chance......" The emperor stared at Concubine Xiang and said expressionlessly.

Concubine Xiang looked at the emperor for a long time, she suddenly got up, raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face indifferently, and even a shallow smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, "Your Majesty Shengming, you already know the thoughts of your concubines." The concubine really wants to take this opportunity to stir up the relationship between His Majesty and the crown prince, but if His Majesty really believes in the prince wholeheartedly, how can the concubine be a woman? ”

In the end, it's just that there is no complete trust between father and son.

The emperor didn't expect Concubine Xiang to admit it so happily, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, no, soon, the surprise faded completely, "You are so happy, it's really surprising to me." ”

Concubine Xiang smiled, "Your Majesty has already understood, what can the concubine do even if she quibbles?" Speaking of this, Concubine Xiang paused, and her voice was already a little choked up between her eyes, "For Your Majesty, the crown prince is your favorite child, what is the child of the concubine who was murdered when she was born?" The concubine has a humble life, and the only hope is this child, you say, can the concubine not hate? After that, Concubine Xiang raised her head, stared at the emperor with a sad gaze, and asked sharply again, "Your Majesty, do you say that the concubine can not hate!" Can you not hate! ”

was questioned by Concubine Xiang so poignantly, but the emperor's face still did not change, and even his face became a little more gloomy, "Are you accusing me!" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Xiang lowered her head, Ying Ying blessed the emperor, and at the end, she got up, looked at the emperor again, and said, "The concubine is willing to test the medicine for the emperor." ”

"Oh? Have you changed your mind again? The emperor frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart.

Concubine Xiang looked at the emperor and smiled sadly, "Is there still room for the concubine to refuse?" ”

Looking at Concubine Xiang's sad appearance, thinking of the little prince who died just after birth, the emperor's cold heart widened slightly, but he still stared at Concubine Xiang and didn't speak.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xiang slowly knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor, "The concubine knows that Your Majesty feels most sorry for the prince, but the prince may not treat you as well as you treat him." Today, the concubine is willing to try this elixir in person, if the elixir is not poisonous, the concubine only wishes that His Majesty can issue an order that the concubine can be buried with the little prince in order to fulfill her duties as a mother, but, if it is poisonous, ......" Speaking of this, Concubine Xiang raised her head again and stared at the emperor with a firm gaze, and a cold voice popped out from between her teeth, word by word, "Please also ask the emperor to make the decision for the little prince who died early!" ”

Listening to Concubine Xiang's words, the corners of the emperor's lips moved, and after a moment, he nodded heavily, "Okay, I, promise you." ”
