Chapter 88: The Right Door
Murong Xi was in a coma for two whole days.
Forced to keep their ears shut to what was going on outside the window.
As everyone knows, in the past two days, the queen mother who has seen her the most is the queen mother, followed by the eldest prince Jiang Shuqing.
After the eldest prince learned that the queen was grounded, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint, crying like a plea for the queen, the emperor slapped the eldest prince in anger, and the eldest prince was aggrieved, and turned his head and came to Cining Palace.
tried to use the Queen Mother as a breakthrough, but the Queen Mother was often not in the dormitory.
When the emperor arrived at Cining Palace, he learned that Murong Xi was also in the palace and was in a coma.
"Imperial grandmother, let your grandson come."
As soon as the eldest prince walked into the palace, he saw the queen mother soaking a cotton handkerchief with her own hands, wring it out, and gently wiping Murong Xi's sleeping face.
The Queen Mother didn't reply, and snorted lightly: "My daughter can have today, thanks to your good mother." If Ji'er is sober and knows that you are close to her, she will probably hate the mourning family together. β
What kind of thoughts the eldest prince has, the queen mother knows.
Because he is the eldest grandson of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will not be angry with the eldest prince because of her dislike for the queen.
However, the eldest prince approached Murong Xi one after another, which made the queen mother feel disdainful.
The eldest prince withdrew his hand, stood silently behind the Queen Mother, and said respectfully: "Sister Murong has been in a coma for two days, Uncle Huang doesn't care, Sun Er really feels worthless for Sister Murong!" β
"Poof!" The Queen Mother threw the handkerchief into the basin, causing a splash.
She stood up and glared at the eldest prince, her eyes flashing fiercely.
"Ji'er is your imperial aunt, your sister who opens her mouth and closes her sister, the royal courtesy, righteousness and shame all told you to throw you to the border!"
The Queen Mother hated the iron and scolded the eldest prince, "The mourning family has warned you more than once that the marriage between the concubine and your Nine Emperor Uncle is the master of the mourning family, and neither the emperor nor the queen has the right to raise objections." What's more, you're a junior? β
"The Imperial Grandmother is angry." The eldest prince was unwilling, and the mental pressure for days rushed up, and he said without words: "Grandson and Murong sister's childhood sweethearts, it is extremely difficult to change their words for a while. What's more, Sister Murong doesn't have the Nine Emperor Uncle in her heart at all, and the imperial grandmother is a messy mandarin duck! β
"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother glared at the eldest prince angrily, "It's against you, don't you listen to the words of the mourning family?" Do you have to find your father and the emperor and ground you and your mother together, so that you are satisfied? β
"Imperial grandmother, don't be angry-" The eldest prince stepped forward to support the queen mother, and flattered and persuaded the queen mother, "Sun Er just said casually, Sister Murong has already married the Nine Emperor Uncles, and Sun Er just doesn't understand why the Imperial Grandmother had to marry Murong Sister to the Nine Emperor Uncles in the first place. β
His sycophancy was because of the Queen Mother's sentence to find the emperor.
Although the Queen Mother was angry, she never punished the eldest prince substantively.
The emperor is different.
The Empress Dowager is the person most respected by the emperor, and if the emperor learns that the eldest prince has made the Empress Dowager angry, he can directly put him back in the Zongren Mansion without asking the reason.
His mansion was burned, and he would rather stay at the inn than revisit the Zongren Mansion.
The queen was not worried, and let the eldest prince help her to the outside of the hall, and when she stepped out of the threshold, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of two figures out of the corner of her eye.
"The mourning family is in a hurry to marry her out of the palace, but the mourning family sees that she has no friendship with you. The two of you have just met a few times in Cining Palace since you were a child, only you wishfully regard your nephew as a childhood sweetheart, have you ever asked you what position you are in your heart? β
The eldest prince was stunned, and when Murong Xi faced him in the past, he would only shake his head and wave his hands.
Since Murong Ji was able to speak, he really hasn't said a good word to him.
The eldest prince was silent.
The Queen Mother saw his emotional change, said softly, and patted his hand, "You are not too young, it's time to find a woman who is the right person to marry." Your mother's mind can't be used all day, but don't blame the mourning family for not reminding you that having a strong relative is a weapon of royal blood. β
"The grandson obeys the teachings of the imperial grandmother." The eldest prince's eyes darkened, and no one could see the imperativeness in his eyes.
The two walked out of the Jinjin Palace, and the egret and Shen Yue, who were guarding the door, dared to enter the house to serve Murong Xi.
When the egret closed the door, he glanced thoughtfully in the direction in which the Queen Mother had disappeared.

Prime Minister's House
Li Xiang's forehead was bruised, and he hurried to Li Muyao's yard.
Li Muyao rarely saw her father with such a dignified appearance, and now that the court is resting, it is impossible to be angry because of the things of the previous dynasty.
Her first reaction was that something had happened to her mother, and she eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Why is my father so anxious?" β
Li Xiang turned around and said to a few maids: "You all go out!" β
Li Muyao was even more at a loss, "Is it the fire in the Prince's Mansion, has the real culprit been caught?" β
After only the father and daughter were left in the room, Li Xiang glanced at Li Muyao deeply, "The queen is grounded." β
"How did my father find out?" Hearing that it had nothing to do with her weak mother, Li Muyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiang sat on the chair, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, "My husband was about to secretly reveal some information about you to the queen, but the result was that the queen was grounded!" Although the reason is unknown, His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and the Queen Mother was also very angry. I heard that His Highness also entered the palace for two days in a rowββ"
Li Xiang was stunned and glanced at Li Muyao, "What's more, the princess regent is also in Cining Palace!" β
Li Muyao's fingers clenched, her nails dug into her palms, the slight stinging pain brought her reason back, she poured a cup of tea for Li Xiang, and analyzed: "Murong Xi's marriage is the decree of the Queen Mother, in Cining Palace, presumably His Royal Highness can't do anything beyond it." β
"But the fact that the queen has lost her sacred heart is ironclad." Li Xiang took a sip of tea and said quietly: "Yao'er, do you want to change a prince?" β
Li Xiang is in the first rank and is the emperor's right-hand man.
Even if the emperor is like a puppet, Li Xiang, who often accompanies the monarch, knows that today's saint is also a scheming emperor.
He didn't dare to speculate about the Sacred Heart, but he was also able to use a little trick to make several other princes win favor in front of the emperor.
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes, "The lord of the East Palace has not yet been decided, and the position of the crown prince can be done by anyone." β
"Not necessarily." Li Muyao stopped Li Xiang, "The queen is grounded, and it is enough for Your Highness not to be angry with His Highness, and His Highness has some status in His Majesty's heart." β
Li Muyao thought for a while, "It's just a Murong Xi, I have a way, my father doesn't have to worry." It is more important to think more about how to lift the queen's ban as soon as possible. β
It is impossible for the marriage of the eldest prince Li Xiang to ask the emperor for a decree in person.
Even if the emperor was afraid of Li Xiang and agreed to the marriage, presumably the emperor would start to suppress Li Xiang's power.
It's different with the queen coming forward.
What mother wouldn't want to take the best woman in the world as her daughter-in-law?
It is still a prime minister's mansion that is extremely helpful for the eldest prince to win the heir!
Queen, you won't be stupid so much!
