Chapter 216: The Real Murderer
Si Lingchuan drank a big sip of tea a little irritably, and couldn't help but complain, "It's such a simple thing, why do you say they are so grinding?" ”
Mu Zhong looked at Si Lingchuan with amusement and teased, "You are in a hurry to go home, you didn't think there was anything wrong with this before." ”
Moreover, the previous Si Lingchuan's temperament was condensed, and the whole person also exuded an aura of indifference.
Since getting married, he has gradually changed, not to mention that he is gentle, and he can even laugh.
Therefore, a happy life is the most transformative thing for a person.
"I think they're mother and son, isn't that normal?"
Si Lingchuan was not ashamed, and there was some smug looks, which made Mu Zhong look at it.
"Uncle Zhong, do you think the trade between the two countries can be successful?"
The smile on Mu Zhong's face gradually disappeared, his brows furrowed, he looked at Si Lingchuan and said, "Lord Wang, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, if it is really to open up trade, it shouldn't be like this...... Well, that's perfunctory, right? ”
Not to mention that the minister who came this time is a third-grade official in the court, and he is not a person of noble status.
And his identity is just a prince with no real power, and it doesn't look like a solemn look.
"Even if there is any plan, at least I still don't know about it now, it seems that I have to find someone to check, there is no news from the capital, it seems that we have to wait to know."
Mu Zhong looked at Si Lingchuan with a solemn face, "Lord, I think it should have something to do with the capital, now that the second prince and the third prince have grown up, the emperor has accepted a few young ladies from the family in the past few years, and the former dynasty and harem are lively." ”
"There are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and it has been like this since ancient times, but it's a pity that even if you know it, you still don't want to change."
"Hehe, the prince doesn't have any ideas?"
Si Lingchuan glanced at Mu Zhong, "I don't want to make trouble for myself, what do you want to say, Uncle Zhong?" ”
Mu Zhong was not afraid of Si Lingchuan's cold face, and said directly, "I always feel that the previous rumors are wrong, as if someone behind the scenes is pushing the difference." ”
"Maybe it's really like you said, someone in the capital wants to meddle in the affairs of the military camp."
"As the princes grow up, this kind of thing will become more and more cruel."
Si Lingchuan sneered, "I've run here, and I can't be quiet yet, why is it so troublesome!" ”
"Haha, the royal family has always been like this, who let you not only be born in the royal family, but also the emperor's eldest prince, and even have the favor of the emperor. You may not realize it, but in fact, there is also the ability to compete for that position? ”
"I don't have that idea, whatever they think."
"It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, sometimes it's not that you don't want to."
"Uncle Zhong, you don't want me to fight for that position, do you?"
Mu Zhong shook his head, "No, but you can't be so passive anymore, being always sought by others like this is not a long-term solution." ”
Si Lingchuan also knew that Mu Zhong's words were right, even if he didn't care, but his wife and children had been implicated many times, which made him have to think more.
"Uncle Zhong, I'll think about it."
When the snowflakes in the sky fell down, Si Lingchuan had not returned, and he had stayed in Moon City for more than a month.
"Princess, go in, it's cold outside."
Chunxin held the hot milk tea in his hand and handed it to Su Tang, this milk tea was roughly what Su Tang said and the cook researched.
It's still very good to drink a cup of hot milk tea in winter.
"This milk tea tastes good, you can drink some when you're fine."
"Thank you, Princess. The prince is coming back soon, right? ”
"Well, there are still some things that need him to come forward, and he will be back in ten days."
Although the journey is only more than half a day, it is cold and snowing, so it is better not to rush too much.
"Princess, the county lord of Pingyang handed over the post, and I want to come to the door tomorrow."
Mama Jiang walked in in a hurry, holding a post in her hand.
"Just say I'm not feeling well, let her come back another day."
Su Tang glanced at the post, returned the post to Mama Jiang, and said lightly.
"Yes!"
Chunxin's face was very unhappy, and she couldn't help but complain, "Princess, what do you say this county lord wants to do?" Is she idle and has nothing to do, how can she always have time to see the princess? ”
It is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
She thought others didn't know!
"In the past, the slave and maid admired this Pingyang county lord, who knew that this was all superficial work, and the inner thoughts were simply not too dirty. It's obviously the idea of the prince, but he still behaves righteously and awe-inspiringly, which is really disgraceful! ”
"Alright, didn't I see her?"
Su Tang thought it was funny, it was the first time that Chunxin, this girl, had clearly shown that she didn't like someone.
"Hmph, I just don't like the way she looks, and she still wants to set up a torii when she is the one. It's like thinking everyone is a fool. ”
Su Tang was also a little helpless, even if they had found out that the last time their mother and son were assassinated, it was related to the Yang family, but there was no clear evidence, and now they could only endure the secret plan.
Capital.
Just as Mu Zhong guessed, as the two princes grew up, the open and secret battle between them had begun.
Now the courtiers have been divided into four factions, one is the royalist faction, which is only loyal to the emperor.
One faction is in favor of the concubine born to the orthodox queen.
One faction is to support the three princes born to the concubine.
The last faction is the conservatives, no one takes sides, just does what they should do calmly, and does not mix with any faction.
Inside the Jinse Palace.
Mu Guifei put down the letter in her hand, her brows tightened, and she looked thoughtful.
"Mother? But what went wrong? ”
"The assassination failed!"
If Su Tang heard it here, it would be very strange, why did Mu Guifei cause Su Tang to die?
Mama Gu's face also changed, "Niangniang, those people all went to professional killers, but they didn't succeed in assassination, but what happened?" ”
Mu Guifei snorted coldly, "My good son values that woman too much, and there are too many people guarding her." ”
"Does the county lord of Pingyang have any suspicions?"
"Whew! What doubts will she have, how smart can a person who is full of love between men and women be. ”
Mama Gu said, "It is precisely because of this that we can be used. It's just that I'm afraid that the prince will know about it, and I will have a grudge against the mother. ”
"Hmph, do you think he still has a bit of mother-son affection for me now?"
Since this son left the capital, apart from the necessary etiquette and will send some gifts back, where is there any other intersection?
So she didn't have hope for this son for a long time, and the only thing she could rely on was her youngest son.
The emperor now has more women, even if he comes to Jinse Palace from time to time because of the affection of his youth, he rarely lives as a husband and wife, and most of them chat with pure quilts.
Therefore, she can't just rely on this man, she has to prepare for herself in the future.
"Niangniang, the queen seems to be pregnant."
"What?"
