Concubine Deng Guifei is golden and noble, and she has never set foot in any dirty place.

She didn't expect that the prison was worse than what others had dictated.

The smell was unpleasant, dark, and occasionally the squeak of rats could be heard, and it was obviously a short journey, but she walked with great difficulty, and she was sweating profusely.

Deng Chengfeng was held in the last cell, he had already been punished, his whole body was covered in blood, and he only had half his life left, lying on a straw mat.

When Concubine Deng saw this scene, tears burst out of her eyes: "Father! ”

She ran straight over, trying to help Deng Chengfeng up, but she was afraid of getting his wound, so her hand froze in the air.

Deng Chengfeng heard the shout, and his eyelids moved.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his daughter right in front of him, and he thought it was a dream.

Reaching out and touching her white and warm hand, he believed that his daughter had really come.

"You...... What are you doing here! Deng Chengfeng struggled to get up, a little annoyed, "Is the prison a place where you can come?" It's not dirty! ”

"Father, you are suffering here, and my daughter is not at ease." Deng Guifei burst into tears, "Yes...... His Majesty asked his daughter to come. ”

Deng Chengfeng suddenly guessed her intention, and sneered: "He asked you to be a lobbyist?" ”

Deng Guifei nodded.

"Then you don't have to say it, go back, don't stay here for long." Deng Chengfeng said.

"Father, things have come to this point, you might as well think about it. You've been locked up here for so long, Queen Mother...... How could the Queen Mother have taken care of you, otherwise, you wouldn't have to be tortured here. Deng Guifei said, "Your Majesty said, if you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light and overthrow the queen mother, you will not only survive, but also establish Ji'er as the crown prince." ”

"You believe him?" Deng Chengfeng saw the eunuch guarding outside and lowered his voice, "The last thing you should do is believe in his white-eyed wolf." He is not yet twenty, how can he make the eldest prince the crown prince? Remember, the Queen Mother is our backer, and we must not betray the Queen Mother. ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, this case will be closed for a while, and during this period, the Queen Mother will definitely be able to save me." Deng Chengfeng patted her hand, "You only need to take care of the eldest prince, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

When Concubine Deng Guifei saw his sworn appearance, she felt most of her heart.

She nodded tearfully: "My daughter knows." ”

"You have to remember." Deng Chengfeng said.

"Yes, my daughter must remember it firmly." Deng Guifei assured.

Deng Chengfeng touched her head with a loving expression, "In addition to your own brother, you are the one I love the most, and you have to take good care of yourself." ”

Deng Guifei felt even more uncomfortable.

Deng Yan is to blame for all this, and she is to blame for her brother-in-law!

If he hadn't betrayed his father and betrayed the Deng family, how could her father have been tortured so much!

When things calm down, she will definitely send someone to find Deng Yan and break him into pieces!

She went back to the palace to resume her life, only saying that she was good at talking, but her father just refused to let go.

Gu Cezhou's face was still the same, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, and said, "Since the concubine can't be persuaded either, let's go back to the palace." ”

He didn't reprimand, but Deng Guifei was even more frightened.

When she returned to Ninghua Palace and saw her son Chu Chengji sleeping sweetly in the cradle, she let go of a hanging heart.

——

It's late autumn.

At the court meeting, the ministers often talked about the problem of the people surviving the winter, and this year's grain harvest was good, and there was no shortage of cotton.

Then there is the fact that Northern Chu has tried several times in the north, and there have been several small wars between the two sides.

After entering the winter, Northern Chu should not be tempted again, after all, once it snows in the north, it is very difficult to march.

After going down today, Gu Cezhou still returned to Chengguang Palace.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The eunuch outside the door began to sing.

Gu Cezhou raised his eyebrows, since the mother and son tore their faces, Empress Dowager Yin rarely came to Chengguang Palace.

He glanced at the eunuch beside him: "Go ahead." ”

The eunuch understood and stayed aside, and after the Empress Dowager Yin came in, he took the opportunity to retreat.

In late autumn, after the Empress Dowager Yin came in, she was a little cold.

"Emperor." Empress Dowager Yin's makeup is delicate and bright, "Our mother and son haven't sat together for a long time. ”

"The queen mother helps me deal with government affairs, so she is naturally busy." Gu Cezhou's words were slightly sarcastic.

Empress Dowager Yin was not annoyed this time, smiled and asked Peizhen to have a pot of peach blossom brew, and said: "The mourning family got a pot of fine wine, and I specially sent it to you to taste." ”

Gu Cezhou raised his eyebrows, "Check it." ”

Before the eunuch stepped forward, Empress Dowager Yin had already said: "You don't need to test it, it's poisonous." ”

Gu Cezhou looked at the Empress Dowager Yin and only felt funny: "The queen mother said that it was poisonous, do you still want me to drink it?" ”

Empress Dowager Yin said: "But today's emperor has no choice, you must drink this cup of poisonous wine." ”

Gu Cezhou looked out.

Outside the gate, the Imperial Forest Army quickly surrounded the Chengguang Palace.

Some eunuchs and palace maids wanted to resist, but they were wiped on the neck with a knife.

A heavy smell of blood wafted in.

Gu Cezhou's face turned pale, and his breathing became short: "Queen Mother, I am your own son, you actually want to do this?!" ”

"Do you still know that you are the son of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Yin sneered, "The mourning family is just helping you take care of the government, and you want to put the mourning family to death everywhere." The mourning family has given you a chance, but you don't want it, you broke the heart of the mourning family! ”

Gu Cezhou said angrily: "Since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I have grown up, and the queen mother should have returned the jade seal a long time ago and let me be in power!" Could it be that the queen mother herself caused all this? ”

"If you don't pay it back, are you going to kill your own mother? Your throne, your imperial power, were all earned for you by the mourning family, and now, the mourning family wants to take it all back. ”

Empress Dowager Yin raised her chin slightly and personally poured Gu Cezhou a glass of wine.

The poisonous wine sparkled, reflecting his pale face.

"Tsk, the queen mother dares to poison today's son, do you think the ministers will obey you? Will the people of the world obey you? ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, after you die violently, the mourning family will support Ji'er to ascend the throne and teach him to be a good emperor who serves the country and the people and repays his kindness." Empress Dowager Yin helped her hair bun, "Now the soldiers and horses of the mourning family are twenty miles outside the city, if any ministers are disobedient, the mourning family will let his family die, presumably Shengjing will not be able to turn the sky." ”

When Gu Cezhou heard this, he laughed.

He said, "Queen Mother, you send someone to Ninghua Palace to have a look." ”

Seeing that he was so arrogant, Empress Dowager Yin's face changed, and she felt a little uneasy.

"Come on, go to Ninghua Palace and have a look." She commanded.

It's the Imperial Foresters who go and can run fast.

Gu Cezhou was not in a hurry, and he also ate cakes, which was very good.

Empress Dowager Yin became more and more frightened, and her palms were sweating.

Soon, the Guards returned.

His face was flustered, and his voice trembled: "Queen Mother, Great Prince...... The Great Prince......"

"What's wrong with the eldest prince?!" Empress Dowager Yin stood up and asked sharply.
