Chapter 35: Dilemma

Since Fu Yao overthrew the Fan family, not only did he change the queen's younger brother Fan Dang from the Ministry of Industry to a Zhongshu scholar, but also made the queen and the crown prince lose the emperor's trust and favor.

Since then, the queen has been quite unwelcome to see Fu Yao.

If this Fu Yao is the illegitimate son of the emperor......

The queen sneered, now Fu Yao is in charge of the country, and the prince has fallen out of favor, and her status and that of the prince are even more shaky. He used his status as a loyal minister to overthrow the prince of the East Palace, if he confirmed his identity as an illegitimate son...... Isn't it to reap the benefits of a fisherman?

Good intentions, good calculations!

The queen gritted her silver teeth, "This matter is still inconclusive, after all, after so many years, even if Your Majesty loves him, he has never revealed his identity." ”

Yu Chengshu took the opportunity to say, "Niangniang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she naturally knows everything about this palace, so it is better to take this opportunity to investigate." ”

The queen nodded and said, "It's okay, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, and you have worked hard." The queen ordered someone to present a wooden plate, "It is not easy for Lord Yu to do things for the palace, so please ask Lord Yu to smile at these things, and when it is done in the future, the palace will definitely not treat Lord Yu badly." ”

Yu Chengshu naturally said goodbye again and again, and then retreated.

When Yu Chengshu left, the queen said angrily, "Yurui, you go and inquire about this palace, which slut did Your Majesty have dealings with when he was young, this palace wants to see if this Fu Yao is of royal blood!" ”

Yurui hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and hurriedly went out to investigate.

When Yurui came back, she whispered in the queen's ear. When the queen heard this, she waved her jade hand, "You all stand down." ”

When the palace people retreated, Yurui said: "Niangniang, the slave maid has already inquired, Your Majesty did have a crush on a family girl named Bai Tang when he was young. ”

The queen's face turned blue, "You continue." ”

Yu Rui cautiously continued: "Bai Tang is the daughter of a declining scholar, her family is in the middle of the road, she went out to study early, and was inadvertently appreciated by Feng Huanyi, and became a disciple of the famous painter at that time. Later, when His Majesty heard about it, he ordered her to enter the palace to teach His Majesty to paint. ”

Yurui glanced at the queen's face, "Your Majesty loved her very much at that time, and even said that Bai Tang would not marry." However, Miss Baitang has a temperament, does not like restraint, and is unwilling to respond to His Majesty, and the Queen Mother was still there at that time, and she was also dissatisfied with Miss Baitang, and did not want Her Majesty to marry a stubborn woman who was in the middle of the family. Later, Miss Baitang left the palace. What happened after that, no one knows...... Just ......"

Yu Rui paused and said, "And Fu Yao is the son of Bai Tang." ”

"Smack!" The queen slapped her palm on the table, her face was blue and red, and it was extremely ugly, "Fu Yao is actually Bai Tang's son!" ”

Empress Fan doesn't know Bai Tang, all the women in the harem are jealous of Bai Tang, because she has won the love of His Majesty's life.

When Emperor Nanming dreamed back at midnight, all he was talking about was the word "Baitang". Empress Fan married Emperor Nanming when she was a teenager, and he was still the prince of Nanming at that time, but Empress Fan knew in her heart that Emperor Nanming did not have half of the love between men and women in her heart, only respect for each other......

But she knew that Emperor Nanming had a person in his heart, and he really loved her.

Who can not be jealous? The person next to his pillow has another woman in his heart......

Although Queen Fan had never seen Bai Tang at that time, she had a grudge against this woman in her heart.

If Bai Tang was pregnant when he left the palace, and this child happened to be Fu Yao......

Under the emperor's nose, who dares to touch Baitang?

And calculate Fu Yao's age......

Empress Fan's fingers clenched tightly: Then this child must be the flesh and blood of Emperor Nanming......

No wonder Emperor Nanming was kind to Fu Yao in every way, it turned out that it was his son with Bai Tang!

The queen's heart burned with jealousy, Bai Tang robbed her man, and Fu Yao robbed her son of power...... The queen's hatred for Fu Yao became stronger and stronger.

"Niangniang......" Yu Rui was timid and asked carefully.

"You have done a good job", the queen said coldly, "there is one more thing for you to do in this palace." ”

Yurui only felt a chill rush out of her spine, "The slave must do her best!" ”

The queen smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a trivial matter, and this palace won't embarrass your ......"

Yurui listened, and her body trembled slightly.

Today's court meeting is extraordinarily long, and Fu Yao is only in charge of the country, so everything is not casual, so he asks more appropriately and carefully, so as to live up to Emperor Nanming's trust in him.

It was noon after the court meeting, and the ministers were already tired and hungry, waiting to rest and eat something quickly. As soon as everyone was about to leave, they heard a summons outside the door, and a palace maid walked in, "Ladies and gentlemen, the queen mother sympathizes with all the adults who are busy with state affairs, and specially ordered the slaves and maids to pass lunch to the adults, please use them up before leaving." ”

The queen is the mother of a country, so there is naturally nothing wrong with doing this, and Emperor Nanming is recuperating from illness, so her actions show that she cares for her courtiers and is loving.

Everyone was already tired and hungry, and the queen's move was no less than dozing off and sending pillows, so everyone said one after another, "Weichen is waiting for Xie Niangniang's grace." ”

Only Fu Yao had a slight doubt in his heart, Empress Fan had always been dissatisfied with his imprisonment of the country, and she only followed etiquette when she met on weekdays, she was out of sight and out of mind, and she never faked her colors. Today's grace from Empress Fan for lunch is really strange and sudden.

But when he saw the food in front of him, he knew the queen's intentions in his heart.

The dishes in front of Fu Yao are exquisite, they are all carefully concocted, in addition to a bowl of soup, there are two side dishes, one cold dish and one hot dish, but one of them either contains coconut white, or there is mutton.

Fu Yao has not eaten these two foods since he was a child, just because he has abdominal pain like wrangling when he eats white stools, and he can't breathe well when he eats mutton. He grew up in the deep palace when he was young, and Emperor Nanming, who was once or twice, naturally knew about it, so he ordered him not to add these two things to Fu Yao's diet.

Now that these two things appear in his meal, they are nothing more than someone doing it on purpose, and if you think of the abnormality of today's queen, you can draw conclusions.

So Fu Yao didn't make a sound, just sat there silently and only drank tea.

The palace maid sent by the queen was Yurui, and when she saw that Fu Yao was not eating, she asked, "Don't you like the lunch that Zuo Xiang has prepared for you?" Why don't you see your chopsticks? ”

She deliberately embarrassed Fu Yao, deliberately brought out the queen, and forced him to eat.

If Fu Yao swallowed his anger a little, he would naturally endure his own discomfort and give face to the queen and eat these things; If he insists on not eating, he will be charged with disrespecting the queen.

Fu Yao is only in charge of the country, just a temporary ruler, and the queen is the queen after all, and she will be the queen mother when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future.

But how can Fu Yao not know about this kind of inner palace's selfish methods? Naturally, he has his own way of dealing with it.
