Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, and asked Cai He to reward two beaded flowers to the Champs, and then sent the Champs out.

I was thinking about whether to ask my father-in-law Cao to send a letter to Jiang Fu.

But when he saw Caihe coming in in a panic, he suddenly frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Caihe looked around and made sure that there was no one, so he walked up to Hua Zhen and whispered: "Back to the county master, the slave maid just listened to the little father-in-law who was serving in the previous dynasty say that something happened to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen couldn't help frowning deeper, thinking about Zhang Ying's matter, a thought flashed in her heart: "Do you know what it is?"

Cai He shook his head when he heard this: "The slave and maid don't know, but I heard that the emperor has made a big fire, and someone has locked up the prince, and now he is angry in the imperial study, and no one dares to approach." ”

Hua Zhen nodded, knowing that Caihe was just a palace maid serving in Changning Palace, even if she asked her to inquire, she was afraid that she would not hear anything.

immediately said to her: "Change my clothes, I'm going to Yanxi Palace." ”

Hearing this, Caihe hurriedly took out his clothes and changed them for Hua Zhen, and then accompanied Hua Zhen to Yanxi Palace.

Qin Guifei naturally got the news, and at this moment she was sitting on the soft collapse by the window and thinking, listening to Champs talk about the visit of the county lord, and immediately ordered: "Quickly invite the county lord in." ”

The room was lit with sandalwood, which made people's hearts calm down.

When Hua Zhen entered the door, she smelled the faint scent of sandalwood and paused.

Then he gave a big salute to Qin Guifei, and then stood up.

Qin Guifei waved her hand, and the Champs immediately understood, asking the palace maids to withdraw, while she was guarding the door.

Qin Guifei then pulled Hua Zhen to sit down on the soft collapse: "Are you here for the prince's business?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "I just heard Caihe say that the prince had an accident, but I just heard that the prince angered the emperor, but I don't know why, I don't know if the concubine knows what happened?"

Hearing this, Qin Guifei sighed lightly and said: "Zhang Ying, the staff member of the Prince's Mansion, colluded with Jiangnan Weaving and the Suzhou Prefect to murder more than 100 people in Suzhou, and the matter of seizing these people's family wealth has been exposed. This emperor's early court was furious when he saw the revelation of this matter, and reprimanded the prince on the spot, and imprisoned the prince.

This time, I am afraid that the emperor is really angry, although this matter has nothing to do with the prince, but the prince is not using people properly, and he does not say anything. One hundred lives, now the Miss Su family and the house slave have entered Beijing to sue the emperor and sue in front of Li Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, how can this matter not make the emperor angry. ”

Qin Guifei said and sighed lightly.

Although there was a worried look on his face, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Even if it was very shallow, Hua Zhen still saw it clearly.

Now that the prince has an accident, the happiest person is not only Zhao Ting, but also Qin Guifei.

After all, Qin Guifei is the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, so naturally she will not want her son to be just an idle prince with no rights in the future, and naturally she wants the Nine Emperor Princes to seize power.

It's just that with the crown prince in front, the Nine Emperor Princes will never have a chance.

After all, Mrs. Ning is just the enlightenment teacher of the Nine Emperor Princes, but she is the real grandfather of the Prince, as long as the Prince is in one day, the Ning family will naturally support the Prince, and will not help the Nine Emperor Princes.

Originally, Qin Guifei wanted to let the Nine Emperor Princes attach themselves to the crown prince, wait for the power of the Nine Emperor Princes to gradually grow, and when the Qin family has the strength to compete with the Ning family, then take the opportunity to get rid of the crown prince and seize power.

But right now, if something happens to the crown prince, then the only person the Ning family can support is the Nine Emperor Princes.

After all, the only people who are good friends with the Ning family now are her and the Nine Emperor Princes.

The crown prince was deposed, and the Ning family had no choice.

Thinking of this, how not to make her happy.

It's just that in front of Hua Zhen, this joy doesn't dare to show it.

After all, Hua Zhen is the prince's cousin.

Hua Zhen guessed Qin Guifei's thoughts thoroughly, but she didn't break it on her face, but just pretended not to know.

"Does the concubine know where the prince is now?"

Hearing this, Concubine Qin frowned: "I heard that he was only locked up under house arrest in the East Palace, and no one could see him without the emperor's orders." ”

While speaking, seeing Hua Zhen's face slightly condensed, Qin Guifei asked tentatively, "Don't you want to see the prince?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't speak.

Even if she didn't want to have too much contact with the prince in her heart, she couldn't ignore it for the sake of Empress Renxiao or Mama Cao's face.

After all, the crown prince is her own cousin, and Empress Renxiao treats her as her own.

Thinking of this, Hua Zhen's expression darkened.

Qin Guifei saw her thoughts, and immediately said: "Zhen'er, you still listen to me, don't go to see the prince, the emperor is angry at this time, if you go to see it, I'm afraid that you will get into trouble." Maybe the prince will be implicated at that time, which will make the emperor even more angry, although I don't know the emperor's temper best, but I always know some, the emperor's least favorite thing is that others have too much contact with the prince. ”

Qin Guifei said very seriously, and Hua Zhen naturally knew what Qin Guifei meant.

But without waiting for her to speak, she listened to the Champs outside and whispered: "Guifei Niangniang, Mama Chang next to the Queen Mother is here." ”

Hearing this, Qin Guifei and Hua Zhen couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the stunned in each other's eyes, so they said softly: "Hurry up and invite Mama in." ”

Champs then invited Mama Chang into the house.

Qin Guifei and Hua Zhen had already cleaned up the emotions on their faces, and when they saw Mama Chang coming in, they immediately asked with a smile: "I don't know if Mama is coming over, but what does the Queen Mother have to order?"

Hearing this, Mama Chang glanced at Hua Zhen, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and then said respectfully: "The Queen Mother said that she wanted to offer a copy of the Myoho-renge-kyo to the Bodhisattva in the past two days, but it was just copied by the palace maid in the Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother was not very satisfied, so she wanted the county lord of Qinghe to go over." ”

Hua Zhen listened to Mama Chang's words and immediately understood, the Queen Mother was looking for her to have something to say.

If you don't just copy the scriptures, just tell a little palace maid to send the scriptures to Changning Palace, where do you need to let Mama Chang run in person, or go to Yanxi Palace to find her.

Immediately stood up: "Hua Zhen will go over." ”

After speaking, he looked at Qin Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang..."

Without waiting for Hua Zhen to finish speaking, Qin Guifei immediately smiled and nodded: "Since it was summoned by the Queen Mother, there is no way to delay, you should go quickly, don't ask the Queen Mother to wait." ”

As he spoke, he instructed Champs to send Hua Zhen and Mama Chang out.

Mama Chang was blessed with her body and walked out of Yanxi Palace with Hua Zhen.

As soon as she came out of the palace gate of Yanxi Palace, Mama Chang looked at Hua Zhen's face, she had lost a lot of weight in the past two days, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, and immediately said: "I heard that the prince has made some trouble today, and the emperor is angry and detains the prince in the East Palace. ”

When Hua Zhen heard this, she knew that Mama Chang was mentioning her, and immediately blessed her body: "Zhen'er thanked Mama for mentioning it." ”

Hearing this, Mama Chang just smiled.

When she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was still in the Buddha Hall, but she just asked the little palace maid to lead Hua Zhen to the Buddha Hall.

The scriptures and pen and ink were already placed on the bookcase next to her, and Hua Zhen didn't make a sound when she saw this, but just walked to the bookcase and wrote with the premise.

The Queen Mother knelt on the futon on the side and devoted herself to worshipping the Buddha.

After Hua Zhen copied a copy of the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra, the Queen Mother opened her eyes and respectfully offered the scriptures in front of the Buddha.

Carried out by Mama Chang.

Vera followed behind her with her hands down.

When she returned to the outer hall of Cining Palace, Mama Chang brought tea, and the Queen Mother leaned on the pillow and looked at Hua Zhen: "Looking at your spirit for the past two days, you are not very good, don't you have a good rest at night?" If you are still like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it, call the imperial doctor to take a look, and it is better to prescribe two pairs of calming decoctions than to drag down your body like this." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie cares, Zhen'er is not in the way, but she is a little in good spirits these days. Hua Zhen knelt on the ground and was very respectful.

The Queen Mother just mentioned it, and she didn't really want the Imperial Doctor to see it, so she nodded immediately: "That is the case, you should pay attention to your own life and rest, if there is really anything uncomfortable, just send the people who are waiting around you to ask the Imperial Doctor." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”

"I heard Youlan say that you were at Qin Guifei's place just now. The Queen Mother said and glanced at Hua Zhen, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

Hua Zhen lowered her head and whispered: "Well, yesterday Qin Guifei said that she would let Zhen'er take two travelogues that she usually reads, and now she gets up and reads the book, and she is afraid that she will forget it, so she will simply send it over." ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything when she heard this, but just looked at Hua Zhen: "Since that's the case, then you should also hear about the prince." ”

"Zhen'er didn't dare to argue. Hua Zhen replied cautiously.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was also silent, just looked at Hua Zhen, and only spoke for a long time.

"Today in the court, the criminal department Shangshu sued Zhan Shi Zhang Ying, seeking money and killing the life of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, this Zhang Ying is a strategist of the prince's mansion, and he is closest to the prince on weekdays. The Queen Mother said and looked at Hua Zhen's face.

Hua Zhen knelt on the ground and was silent.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed: "The mourning family asked you to come over today, I don't mean to do anything, I just want to tell you, don't make trouble for yourself." Since you returned to Beijing, you have caused enough trouble during this period of time, and if something happens again, it will be the emperor's temper, and I am afraid that I will get bored. ”

The corners of Hua Zhen's eyes jumped when she heard this, and she immediately knelt on the ground: "Zhen'er understands, Empress Dowager Xie mentioned it." ”

"The mourning family hopes that you really understand, instead of explaining it in front of the mourning family, and then you will forget the words to the clouds. ”

"Zhen'er doesn't dare. ”

"Dare or not, that's your business, the mourning family doesn't know, the mourning family just reminds you, don't provoke right and wrong and make things more and more troublesome. Things that shouldn't be interfered with by yourself, don't rush to the troubles, the things that didn't have you in the province are all your fault in the end. ”

"Yes. Hua Zhen lowered her head, not daring to move.

The Queen Mother saw that it was almost over, and immediately said to Mama Chang: "Go find a few scriptures for her to take back, and you will stay in Changning Palace these days, copy the scriptures, be quiet, and don't move around at will if you don't have anything to do." As for asking for peace for the mourning family, I will be exempted, and when the scriptures are copied, come back again. ”
