Regarding the candidates to go to Nanping, Mrs. Qin couldn't hold on to who to recommend for a while.

Yan replied, "Why don't you send Qin Feng?" ”

"Your Highness, do you think the dog is up to the task?" Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head, "He is not calm, such an important matter, the old minister is afraid that he will do it." ”

"Lone believes in Qin Feng, and Taifu should also believe in him." Yan Echo smiled, "That's it!" ”

Mrs. Qin was blocked, so he could only agree, "It's okay, since Zhou Gu left the capital to go to Jiangning, he has been like a long grass, and now that he is released, he is afraid that he will be happy." ”

He said again: "When the old minister returns home, he will sternly instruct him, and after he comes to the East Palace, Your Highness, you must also sternly instruct him." The Marquis of Nanping is a big help to the Great Prince, if we can use Ning Chi to bring down the Marquis of Nanping and pull the Marquis of Nanping Mansion into our camp, the Great Prince will lose a big help, so there is nothing to fear. ”

Yan Echo nodded.

The two discussed for a while, and someone outside announced, "Your Highness, the queen mother is here." ”

Mrs. Qin stopped talking and looked at Yan Echo, who was also a little surprised, and walked out of the door to greet him.

The queen mother is a dignified beauty, as she gets older now, she has more and more Fengyi, and when she saw that Taifu Qin was also there, she smiled and said, "Is this palace disturbing the Taifu and the prince?" ”

"The old minister has seen the queen's mother, don't bother, the old minister and His Royal Highness have finished discussing the matter, so they will retire." Mrs. Qin hurriedly said.

The queen smiled: "This palace has some things to find the prince, and since the prince has finished discussing things, this palace will not keep you." Taifu walked slowly. ”

Qin Taifu nodded, retired, and walked out of the East Palace.

After Taifu Qin left, the queen suddenly smiled on her face and looked at Yan Echo.

Yan Echo knew that the queen would not come to the East Palace easily, and if there was usually something, she would say it when he went to Fengyi Palace to greet her, and bowed her hand, "The queen mother asks the study to speak." ”

The queen nodded and followed Yan Echo to the study.

The door was closed, there were guards outside, and the mother and son were facing each other, and the queen asked: "Let me ask you, what about the dagger that Zhang Chengming made for you?" ”

Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, "How could the queen mother ask about this?" ”

"I'll just ask you, what about the dagger?" The queen asked, staring at him.

Yan replied: "Give it away." ”

"Who did you give such an important thing to?"

"It was given to the person who was assassinated in Jiangning last time and saved his son." Yan echoed.

The queen was stunned, "It's a woman?" ”

"Yes." Yan Echo was surprised, "How does the Queen Mother know?" ”

The queen sat down, "How do I know?" Naturally, I responded to the promise of the queen of Nanchu to kill someone for her, and she said that the king of Nanchu should support you, who knew that the person I sent to kill actually had your dagger on his body. ”

Yan Echo was startled, his face changed slightly, and he asked urgently: "Queen Mother, you killed someone?" ”

The queen looked at him and shook her head depressedly, "I didn't kill it, the person I sent recognized your dagger, put it away, and came back to tell me to decide." I thought that your dagger was Zhang Chengming's work of sealing the mountain, and you loved it the most, how could you let it fall into the hands of outsiders, so I came to ask you. ”

She was helpless, "Why did she save you?" ”

Yan Echo breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that she didn't kill, then she was injured?" ”

This time it was the queen's turn to change her face slightly, "Prince, why do you care so much about her?" ”

Yan Echo also knew that he was a little too exposed, so he stabilized his mind, "Queen Mother, she saved Erchen's life, otherwise, the two killers that day, Erchen would have no strength to dodge, the grace of saving his life is greater than the sky, no matter how much Erchen cares about her, it is not too much." ”

The queen choked for a while, paused for a while, and then said: "That's what I said, but Queen Nanchu ...... there."

"The queen mother can find out, why did Queen Nanchu kill her? A vassal state of Southern Chu thousands of miles away, and a place as small as Jiangning County, what grudge does the queen of Southern Chu have against her? ”

"This ...... I don't know that it was the queen of Nanchu who took the initiative to find the palace, saying that she knew your situation now, and His Majesty had many restrictions on you, and if the palace could kill someone for her, she would persuade the king of Nanchu to support you. You must know that the subject country of Southern Chu plays a pivotal role in our Great Liang, and having the support of a subject country is very beneficial to you, even if it is Your Majesty, it is not good to suppress you too much. ”

Yan echo nodded, he understood the queen's heart for him, "I have been sending people to look for her, I don't know her identity, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the queen mother first." Can the queen mother tell her sons, what her surname is and where she lives? She saved her son, and her son couldn't let Queen Nanchu kill her, and after Erchen knew her identity, he would also find out why Queen Nanchu killed her. ”

"You don't know who she is?" The queen was surprised.

"At that time, I was in a hurry to get out, but Erchen didn't ask, thinking that she should be easy to find, but I never thought about it, and I haven't found anyone so far."

The queen bowed, "She is the daughter of Su Xu of Jiangning Taishou Mansion, ranked seventh, and seems to be called Su ......", when she said this, she suddenly asked in surprise: "The little concubine of Su Taishou Mansion who has a marriage contract with Zhou Gu is called Su Rong?" ”

Yan Echo's face changed, and he didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, under the queen's shocked gaze, he nodded, "It's this name." ”

The queen nodded when she saw Yan echoing, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Things in this world, who knew that it was such a coincidence, it happened that the person Queen Nanchu wanted to kill was Su Rong, the person who saved Yan Echo was Su Rong, and the person who had a marriage contract with Zhou Gu was also Su Rong.

For a while, the study room was quiet.

After a long while, the queen spoke, and asked tentatively, "Did you find her to repay your kindness?" How do you plan to repay the life-saving grace? ”

Yan Echo didn't speak.

The queen is from the past, her face is a little bad all of a sudden, and she asks tentatively: "It's just a one-sided relationship, you won't be ......."

"Mother, I'll do it." Yan Echo met her gaze and confessed.

The queen's face changed drastically, "It's just one side......"

Yan Echo was silent for a moment, "After returning to Beijing, Erchen has always regretted that he didn't ask her name and surname that day. ”

With just this sentence, the queen's heart sank.

As his crown prince, if he wants to repay a life-saving grace, he doesn't need to be so worried about himself, but if he can be so worried, he will be in his heart. But who is bad? It was Su Rong, the person who the queen of Southern Chu wanted to kill, and Zhou Gu's fiancée.

The queen looked at Yan Echo, "You are the crown prince, even if you are interested, it is not impossible to let go." ”

Yan Huisheng laughed, "Queen Mother, do you think that Erchen is the person who can easily let go after he has fallen in love with a person?" ”

If this is the case, he will not have no women by his side for many years, and he is not interested in all the women given in the palace, including Qin Luan. Everyone said that Qin Luan was good, but he didn't think so.
