Chapter 260

After making this decision in her heart, Empress Cao suddenly thought of what the Queen Mother said, she said that she was partial to the prince and was ashamed to be the mother of King Jin. In order to keep the prince by his side, he did not hesitate to send the less than ten years old King Jin to the Longtan Tiger's Den as a hostage, and now the King of Jin is seriously ill and dying, as a mother, he should only push the responsibility to others.

Thinking of this, Empress Cao's expression changed slightly, and her hands gradually clenched into fists.

Indeed, in her heart, the eldest son was much more important than the second. Ting'er is so sensible, he will observe words and emotions when he is young, knowing that his father has many concubines and his mother is not favored, he will always be obediently by his mother's side, and often try to say something to make his mother happy.

It is precisely because of the filial piety of the eldest son that Queen Cao feels that there is still some hope for this day, seeing that the eldest son has grown from an obedient and sensible little man to a handsome and elegant young man, and gradually won the trust of his father, and gradually took over the affairs of the palace. At that time, a child, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was very comfortable with the things his father had told him.

Because the eldest son has to be valued, she has even taken the prince to her for more days, and because of the eldest son with extraordinary ability, her position has gradually stabilized. She is not from a good background, if it weren't for the court, how could she be a princess for more than 20 years, and how could she be a queen and a mother in the world?

Zidu ...... Since I was a child, I was not good at words, and I didn't get close to myself, let alone make myself happy.

At the beginning, the witch queen Liu wanted to choose a prince among the four kings to enter the palace, and the high-sounding saying was to accompany Emperor Jingyuan, but in fact, who did not know the real intention? She was reluctant to send her eldest son away, so she just tried everything she could to send her second son to Beijing.

It's been a few years since I parted, and I wasn't much close, but now I'm getting more and more estranged.

Empress Cao knew that King Jin was also her son, but if this son would become a stumbling block for the crown prince, she would definitely not allow it! He could be prosperous and rich, and only be a leisurely and comfortable idle king, but he would definitely not be able to shock the lord of the East Palace. If King Jin and his wife really have different intentions, then he, who is a mother, will definitely not show mercy.

After thinking about it for some time, I heard Mama say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down.

Seeing the eldest son who had always been loved, Empress Cao was full of joy and hurriedly said: "Ting'er has been assisting your father and emperor in government affairs recently, and she must be tired, and even the time spent here with the queen mother every day is short. Now that you're here, let's stay with the queen mother, who has a lot to say to you. ”

After that, he commanded, "Go and serve tea." ”

Zhao Ting has indeed been riddled with all kinds of things recently, working hard, his spirit is not good, and his face is also very bad.

"Thank you for your love. Hearing this, Zhao Ting thanked Empress Cao, then sat down on the side, and said, "Queen Mother, the child heard that the Queen Mother went to the Jin Palace, I don't know if I can see the second brother?"

It is said that the King of Jin relied on his military merits, and he should be punished if he did not put His Majesty and his prince in his eyes.

Of course, some people impeached the King of Jin, and they also had the manpower to protect the King of Jin, saying that it was because His Royal Highness the King of Jin shared the worries of His Majesty and the crown prince that he fell into the tricks of thieves and was highly poisoned, and now he is sick in bed. For the matter of the Jin king's failure to go to the early court for several months, the officials of the court and the central government had different opinions, and they almost quarreled many times.

As the crown prince, Zhao Ting was indeed afraid that King Jin's high achievements would shock him, the master of the East Palace, and secondly, he was really worried about the safety of King Jin. If Dayan loses the King of Jin, I am afraid that the territory will be difficult to defend, and besides, after all, he is a flesh and blood brother, if it is really gone, how can he, as a big brother, feel good?

Therefore, he was also extremely entangled, hoping that the King of Jin would be able to protect Zhao Yan's country, but also fearing that the King of Jin would be too popular with the people.

Empress Cao saw that the prince was worried, her eyebrows were locked, and she couldn't help but care: "What is the prince worried about? Called him, but seeing that he finally raised his eyes to look at herself, Queen Cao said, "I went to the Jin Palace, and the queen mother reprimanded the princess of Jin. ”

Zhao Ting frowned and said: "In this way, the rumors outside are true, and the second brother is indeed very sick." ”

"I heard that it was a strange poison, and those who fell into this poison will not be worried about their lives for a while. However, it will age much faster than normal people, and it is also because of this reason that King Jin is reluctant to see people. Empress Cao pondered to herself, "If you want to say this, the strange way scared Mrs. Zhou into bed sick, I'm afraid he ......."

Thinking of this, Empress Cao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't continue to say the following words.

Zhao Ting said: "Princess Jin's medical skills are excellent, if even she is helpless, presumably the imperial doctor in the palace will have no choice." Could it be that the second brother is really going to die here?" Thinking about it, Zhao Ting stood up suddenly, "No, the child is going to the Jin Palace." ”

"Ting'er still don't go. Empress Cao called him and said, "Where is he willing to see people now, it is the queen mother and the queen mother, they all see each other through the curtains." Even if you go, you will not see anyone. Have you forgotten? How many times have you been there before, and which time have you actually met people? Forget it, just talk about your heart. ”

Zhao Ting looked at Queen Cao, who was sitting on the top seat, hesitated, and said: "Queen Mother, this time the second brother is seriously ill and died, and the Queen Mother looks at it, and it seems that she is not too sad. He paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Queen Cao, and then said, "I think that at the beginning, it should have been the child who entered Beijing as a hostage, but because of the love of the queen mother, the child was left by his side." The second brother was trapped in the tiger's den in Longtan for many years, and then fortunately he was safe and sound, and the child felt better. The child knows that the queen mother loves the child, but she also hopes that the queen mother can hurt the second brother more. After all, the child and the second brother are both born from the queen mother. ”

Empress Cao said: "The queen mother knows that her son has indeed suffered, but how much better do you feel? If it weren't for the queen mother's insistence on keeping you, maybe the crown prince is you now, and you are the one who can lead the troops to fight. In this way, Zidu can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, so why should Ting'er not go?"

Zhao Ting said: "As the crown prince, the child will not easily lead the troops to the battle, if it is not for the sons, it will be difficult for the three kings to subdue reads;." ”

"Okay, okay, the queen mother knows that you are both filial and benevolent, and now that the king of Jin is so popular with the people, you don't care. The queen mother told you that it is indispensable to guard against others, even if it is your own brother, you should also pay more attention. Born in the emperor's family, where is there any flesh and blood affection to speak of? Not to mention this matter for the time being, the queen mother asks you, which girl in Jiangnan has you taken a fancy to?"

Zhao Tingdao: "The daughter of the Su family, Su Huifang." ”

"How could she be born?" Queen Cao didn't have much of a good impression of this Su family's daughter, looking at the soft and weak, she didn't have any shrewdness, how could she be the mother of a country in the future? If you talk about it, the queen mother prefers the fourth girl of the Liu family in Jinling. ”

"Miss Liu Si is indeed a little clever, but being the crown princess doesn't need to be clever, just be dignified and steady. Zhao Ting stood up and bowed slightly towards the queen, "Although Miss Su looks at her soft temperament, the child has been in contact with her in private, and she is not the kind of person who has no opinions. Moreover, when King Cheng held Princess Ming hostage and wanted to threaten her father, Miss Su was also a little bold, and she was not afraid of King Cheng, but saved Scarlet from King Cheng. Therefore, the child wants to choose Miss Su as the crown princess, and hopes that the queen mother can be gracious. ”

"Since you are the one you like, the queen mother will follow your wishes. Empress Cao didn't say anything more, thinking about the current status of the Su family in the court, she nodded again, "Although Su Shunming has no prospects, his brother Su Shuncheng is an official and a big official with real power, so it's good to choose this Su family girl." Now that Ting'er has identified this Su Huifang, wait for the queen mother to choose a day and tell your father and the queen mother. ”

"Thank you to the queen mother. "Zhao Ting is grateful.

The queen met the crown prince in Zhengyang Palace, and at the same time, Empress Dowager Zhuang insisted on seeing her beloved grandson Zhao Yong in the Jin Palace.

Lin Wan couldn't be stubborn, thinking that although this matter was □□ important, it was best not to reveal it, but the Queen Mother was not an outsider, even if the old man knew, it would not be in the way. After making a decision in his heart, Lin Wan turned to the imperial doctor in the palace and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is reluctant to see outsiders, but the Queen Mother is different, and I ask you to move outside." ”

With the Queen Mother here, the imperial doctors should have the will of the Queen Mother before they dared to go out.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "You go out, no one is allowed to come in without the order of the mourning family." ”

"Yes, the ministers will obey the decree of the Queen Mother. ”

After the imperial doctor went out, Lin Wan waved away the maiden who was waiting in the palace, and saw that only he and the old man of the Queen Mother were left in the room, Lin Wan said with confidence: "Imperial grandmother, this matter is very important, and I don't mean to hide it from your old man." It was really a helpless move to make this decision. ”

"What the hell is going on? The mourning family knows that you and your son are hiding something from the mourning family. After listening to Lin Wan's words, Empress Dowager Zhuang suddenly felt a lot better, thinking, as long as Zidu was really sick, it would be fine.

Lin Wan said: "King Su colluded with foreign thieves to destroy Zhao Yan's country, and Zidu was also calculated to be poisoned. is also the incompetence of the granddaughter-in-law, and so far she has not been able to completely remove the residual poison from Zidu's body. However, please rest assured that after several months of recuperation, the son is no longer in serious trouble, and the granddaughter-in-law has also been developing an antidote. You want to see Zidu, but your granddaughter-in-law can't do anything about it, because now ...... Zidu is no longer in the capital. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "Could it be that she followed the army to the western frontier?"

"The Imperial Grandmother is wise. Lin Wan nodded and said, "Surprise and attack unprepared, this is exactly the plan of the father and the son, and they should all be ready." 166 Reading Network
