Banxia also felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, the Queen Mother's thoughts about her son, the people who served in Ningde Palace could see it, she looked majestic on weekdays, and when there was no one in private, she often frowned deeply and looked into the distance. This time the second prince came back, not to mention how happy the queen mother was, not to mention the smile on her face, but her eyebrows were full of joy.

On weekdays, the Queen Mother speaks harshly to others, but she is really good to herself. But in order to help Ah Li, she still betrayed her. If one day, the truth is revealed, presumably the Queen Mother will be very sad, thinking of this, I don't feel my heart blocked.

There is one point, her heart is like a mirror, although the queen mother dotes on her, she doesn't believe in her as much as she trusts Feng Gu, maybe she thinks that some things are not a matter to discuss with herself, or maybe she doesn't want to involve herself too much, so many things are hidden.

Feng Gu felt that her face was not good when she came over to see Banxia, and she couldn't help but be annoyed: "It's really strange that I'm talking too much, saying that this makes us uncomfortable together, let's go in quickly, don't let the Queen Mother wait." ”

Banxia didn't rush into the door immediately, but stepped forward and pulled Aunt Feng's coat together and said gently: "The night is cool, your knees are going to hurt again, it's late at night now, go and rest early, the Queen Mother will be served by me." Feng Gu's eyes were moist again, but this time she couldn't help it, smiled and nodded in agreement, and went to her room to rest first.

After watching Aunt Feng enter the house, Banxia gently pushed the palace door and walked to the queen mother's inner bed. It was dim inside, and only an oil lamp was left on the desk at the head of the bed, which was faint. Looking carefully at the bed, I saw that the Queen Mother was half-up with her eyes closed and leaning lightly, I don't know if she had fallen asleep again, with a tired look on her face.

Hurriedly stepped forward, gently pulled the brocade quilt over her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the Queen Mother had opened her eyes, and her eyebrows shot out of the essence. "He was tired and hoarse.

Banxia asked softly: "Why doesn't the Queen Mother lie down and sleep, relying on it like this will cause backache and easy to catch a cold." This is the way she talks to the Queen Mother, with respect and laziness, but also intimate.

Seeing that the Queen Mother laughed, "It's okay, the body is still tough, how can it be so easy to catch a cold?" By the way, where did you just go? It seemed to be inadvertent, but his eyes were shot to the bottom of her eyes. Banxia didn't panic, and still dealt with Aunt Feng's excuse just now: "The slave went to find the second prince." "I mentioned it in my heart, after all, the Queen Mother is not as easy to fool as Aunt Feng.

Obviously, she was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and said, "You girl, I know that you are intimate and understand the thoughts of the mourning family." But there was sadness in his expression, and he thought of the two kings again.

"Queen Mother......" Banxia whispered worriedly, and stopped talking. In fact, she is also really concerned about the Queen Mother, otherwise with the shrewdness of the Queen Mother for so many years, can she still not see the sincerity and hypocrisy of a servant girl next to her?

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Look at your expression, I know that I haven't seen Shuo'er, too, the emperor invited them, how can you enter the Zichen Palace, you are waiting for Shuo'er outside?" Didn't wait? ”

Banxia was secretly shocked in her heart, although it was an excuse, but the Queen Mother could be so clear, and her mind was really not simple. But seeing that although the Queen Mother was asking at this time, there was sadness in her expression, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and her eyes were red.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about?"

"It's useless to be a slave, I haven't done anything about it, I waited for a while on the way to the palace in Zichen Palace, and I had to hide aside to prevent people from seeing it, I just wanted to secretly talk to the second prince in private, and let him enter the palace more to accompany you, but ......" Speaking of this, tears have fallen.

The Queen Mother patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "The mourning family knows, it's not your fault." At this time, she was nothing more than a kind and amiable old man. After Banxia wiped away her tears, she thought that after dawn tonight, she would definitely not be able to hide the matter of Fengran Palace, and shocked the entire palace, if she pretended not to know at all, and went out for so long, the queen mother would suspect her tomorrow.

So he settled down and said: "The slave waited for a while and didn't wait for our prince, but when she saw the emperor hurrying out, and then saw that Manager Han was also following closely, she felt that something might happen, so she didn't dare to delay and came back quickly." "Talking about it and hiding it from you is the best effect.

The Queen Mother, who was originally inexplicable, immediately frowned and pondered after hearing this, and asked after a while: "Have you seen which direction the emperor is going?" Banxia nodded and replied, "It's from the harem." "There will be nothing wrong with saying this, let the queen mother think that there was a mess in the emperor's harem, and only when it was dawn did she know that it was an accident in Fengran Palace.

A fine light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Heh, let's make trouble, the more fierce the trouble, the better." ”

Banxia pretended to look at her ignorantly, not knowing what she meant. In her heart, she knew that she had successfully misled the Queen Mother into thinking that there was a dispute between the harem concubines, otherwise if she found out about the matter of the Fengran Palace now, she might take action immediately. At this time, the emperor's heart is in turmoil, and there must be no more mistakes.

She served the Queen Mother to lie down, and as soon as she covered the quilt, she listened to the Queen Mother's instructions: "Banxia, after tomorrow, let people go out to inquire about what happened tonight, and send someone to send a message to Shuo'er outside the palace, saying that the mourning family is tired and does not need to ask for peace." ”

"The slave knows."

Coming out of the bedroom, Banxia returned to the vigil room, and the hanging heart fell back to the same place, his lie was over, but he couldn't figure out the meaning of the last queen mother's words, obviously looking forward to the second prince coming one moment, how could he avoid asking for peace tomorrow morning the next moment? Thinking carefully about her last expression, a faint determination, the eyes were dark, what flashed through her mind, and she was screaming in her heart, wouldn't the Queen Mother decide to make a move! Is it tomorrow?

I was so anxious that I had to give Ah Li a wake-up call. Tomorrow, tomorrow!

At the fifth watch, Han Xiao came back from outside, and as soon as he entered Ziyang Palace, he saw Xiao Hezi coming in a hurry from outside, and when he asked what he was doing, he was shocked, and he no longer had any scruples and went directly into the palace. When he arrived at the door of the inner room, he called softly: "Your Majesty? ”

The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and the emperor walked out from the inside, still wearing the bright yellow dragon robe from yesterday, obviously he hadn't slept all night, just waiting for his news, and when he came out, he asked, "How is it?" Did you find any news? ”

Han Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the girl just secretly sent news, and she said tomorrow." ”

Qin Tiance was shocked, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Exactly? ”

"It was the girl who took the risk to sneak to Xiao Hezi before dawn, and she didn't have time to elaborate, so she only said the word tomorrow and returned. The girl was meticulous and not reckless, and if it were not for the real urgency, she would definitely not have taken such a big risk to arraign. Therefore, the accuracy of this news accounts for ninety percent, and with Banxia's intelligence, it is extremely accurate to guess the Queen Mother's thoughts.

Qin Tiance squinted, his thick eyebrows furrowed, all these things are in one place, tomorrow the dignitaries of the two countries will say goodbye publicly in the court, will they do it at that time? His eyes sank and he asked, "How is the trace?" Is there any news from her? Which line did Shen Mo go from? ”

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly turn to this matter, shook his head and said: "I don't have a clue for the time being, I just know that Shen Mo should really leave the city, it is possible in both directions in the southeast, and my subordinates think that the possibility in the east is greater." After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to worry about this matter, we may have a big battle tomorrow, and we should ...... it."

Qin Tiance raised his hand, and there was a thin anger in his voice: "I have my own measure. ”

After an hour, hundreds of officials entered the court. It was not until about the time that there was a legend that the prince of Nanshao and the prince of Xiliang asked to meet, and after the two entered the palace, they said goodbye verbally. Qin Tiance ordered someone to bring the Dongyun treasure to the two of them to bring back to their own country, and promised that he would also send an envoy to visit him one day.

Just as they were about to send the two out of the palace, a herald suddenly shouted: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

Everyone stopped, and the ministers began to talk in a whisper, since the dynasties, Dongyun's government has stipulated that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so even if the power is as great as the queen mother, it is not allowed to enter this Zichen Palace.

But seeing the queen mother holding the Ming Huang brocade box in her hand, she followed a group of palace people and walked up to the hall with their heads held high, and Banxia was also in the ranks, she glanced at a certain place worriedly, and immediately stood behind her. If the old ministers should know that the Ming and Huang brocade box held by the Queen Mother is containing the edict of the first emperor, and now looking at the posture of the Queen Mother, it is obvious that something is going to happen.

Qin Tiance asked quietly: "Queen Mother, I don't know what you did to drive to this Zichen Palace?" ”

The Queen Mother ignored him, walked directly to the front of the hall, opened the brocade box, took out the Ming and Huang edicts from the inside, raised her hand and said loudly: "The last words of the first emperor are here, and the ministers listen to the order!" ”

His Royal Highness knelt on the ground, leaving only Qin Tiance, Nanyue Chen and Xiliang Wang Ye to fight at the moment, and even King Rui and the second prince Qin Haoshuo also knelt on the ground. The Queen Mother's sharp gaze shot at Qin Tiance, but she didn't say much, she only raised her voice and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I have no merit for the community, no benefit to the people, and I am ashamed of my ancestors." I am now long-lived, and the dragon is in the sky. Respect the edict of the first emperor, and make Tianshuo, the son of the queen, the second son of the emperor, the emperor, hope that the ministers will assist with all their might, and live up to my hopes. Chin this! ”

There was silence below, and no one dared to shout long live the decree, but they were all nervous in their hearts, but the edict read by the Queen Mother was true? Why is it different from the previous emperor's edict before he ascended the throne?

Seeing this situation, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be furious: "Presumptuous, you dare to resist the decree?" This is the real edict of the first emperor! ”

Qin Tiance suddenly smiled, and said without distinguishing joy and anger: "Queen Mother, you may be dizzy, the emperor's edict has been read out a few years ago, how can it be true or false?" Come on, please return to the palace and announce the imperial doctor! ”

"Qin Tiance! Don't talk nonsense! Back then, you forced the palace to take away my son's throne, and today's mourning family is here to expose your true face! ”

"Oh? According to the queen mother, she is bound to argue? Then you might as well ask the old minister to identify the authenticity of the edict. Prime Minister Ning, please come forward to take the edict in the hands of the Queen Mother and identify the handwriting. ”

Ning Xiang was named and didn't dare not step forward, but he was frightened inexplicably in his heart, this matter ...... But it's terrible.

But he heard the Queen Mother say something to stop him: "You don't need to be Ningxiang, just ask Mrs. Mu to identify it." "Hmph, Ning Xiang is Concubine Qing's biological father, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not speak for the emperor. This morning it was determined that there was an accident in the Fengran Palace last night, which was heavily guarded, and the time she agreed with Shuo'er had come.

A long-bearded old minister stepped out of the ranks, it was Mu Taifu, he was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was qualified enough to take on this position. His expression was stern, he walked up to the Queen Mother, bent down and saluted: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to let the old minister have a glimpse of the handwriting in the edict." ”

The Queen Mother only frowned, and handed the edict rolled up in her hand to Mrs. Mu. She has read this edict thousands of times, and the content in it has long been memorized, so she doesn't need to open it to read it just now, she only holds it high above her head, intending to intimidate Siye. In order to distinguish the edict of the first emperor from the edict of the emperor of the current dynasty, the dragon pattern on the back will be darker than the current one, and from the appearance, this is indeed the edict of the first emperor.

Mrs. Mu opened the edict and read it for a while before he raised his head and said, "It's the handwriting of the first emperor." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression softened, and she was about to drink Qin Tiance angrily, but she heard Mrs. Mu say again: "It's just that this is not the edict of the first emperor, this is an edict from the reign of the first emperor, and it is a matter of sealing the post." ”

"How is that possible?" The Queen Mother's face changed greatly, and she snatched the edict to look at it carefully, but this time her face really turned pale, and she muttered: "Impossible." "This is actually an edict from the first emperor who canonized her as the queen, this edict is indeed received by her side, and it can be placed separately from the edict of the first emperor, how can it be wrong?

Suddenly remembered that it was the brocade box that Feng Gu asked to pick up before, could it be ...... Feng Mu glared angrily, Feng Gu was shocked when she touched her sight, she had served the Queen Mother for many years, and naturally understood the meaning in her eyes, Niang Niang thought she had betrayed her! Crawling to the feet of the Queen Mother and explaining: "Niangniang, the old slave has not done anything, you have to believe the old slave." ”

The Queen Mother kicked people away angrily, whether it was done by Feng Gu or not, and now it is also a failure, this first plan is useless with the edict of the first emperor Zhenhe, since she decided to do it today, how could she not expect this step? As soon as his hand clapped his hands, dozens of military attachés immediately stood up among the hundreds of officials, walked up to the second king, Qin Haoshuo, and shouted: "The queen mother is the first emperor to be the queen, and the first emperor has an edict to pass on the throne to my king, everyone can see it clearly, it is clear that the six princes are seizing the throne and forcing the palace, I don't want to be confused by him again!" ”

The ministers were in an uproar, they didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse and develop like this. At this time, the second king, Qin Haoshuo, had already stood up from the ground, standing there with his head held high, and a kingly aura arose.

And King Rui and others also stood in front of the emperor as a guard, and today's battle seems to be inevitable.
