"Prince ······"

"The prince is like this to King Zhao... Strict? ”

Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

Hearing the news brought by Xia Que, the owner of the pavilion, Liu Yan, only turned to the side in shock, and looked at his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou, who wanted to speak and stopped.

At the same time as Liu Yan turned sideways, Xia Que, who was standing in the hall, also bowed his head again at almost the same time.

"Yui."

"His Royal Highness talked about a lot of past events with King Zhao, and also talked about some things that happened in Chang'an and Handan in the days when His Royal Highness and King Zhao were thousands of miles apart in the past few years."

"Finally, His Royal Highness politely warned King Zhao: If you don't like the style of Handan, you can discuss with Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to choose another fief for King Zhao."

"Hearing His Royal Highness's words, King Zhao, I couldn't cry ······"

With the words 'crying silently', to end his report today, Xia Que carefully knelt on his knees to the ground one after another.

On the top of the royal couch, the princess of the pavilion Tao looked at the Empress Dowager Dou, but she became more and more resentful.

"Queen Mother~"

"Prince, it's too harsh, isn't it?"

"No matter what, that's also a brother who is a fellow mother and a brother!"

"That's it, and I was also warned by the prince openly and secretly, and in the future, where is my daughter in the prince, I'm afraid I won't see any good faces······"

"-Okay~la~~~"

"--I'm the mother of three babies, and I'm still so noisy all day long······"

Without waiting for Liu Concubine to sprinkle a complete 'Jiao', the Empress Dowager Dou impatiently interrupted Liu Xuan's spellcasting;

When Liu Concubine lowered her head and opened her mouth again, Empress Dowager Dou glanced at Liu angrily.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head indifferently and looked roughly in the direction of Xia Que who was kneeling in the center of the hall.

"After King Zhao left, the prince didn't tell the princess about the whole palace, don't spread these things?"

"It's still you, eunuch, who regards my grandson and the order of the prince of the dynasty······"

"Huh?"

It seemed to be lukewarm, but in fact, the cold tone was breathtaking, and before he could finish his words, Xia Que's humble and calm face was immediately filled with a horror from the depths of his soul!

In a panic, he raised his head and was extremely eager to say something, but he found that he felt as if someone was choking his throat, and he couldn't make any sound.

It was at this time that Liu Yan, who had been wronged and bowed her head because she was disliked, stood up at an extremely timely time as if she had rehearsed all this a long time ago.

It's just that this 'standing up' is not directly saying anything to the Empress Dowager Dou, but just two seemingly casual mutters.

"Gillian seems to have mentioned it, saying that the prince has already explained to the princess: no matter what happens, you can't hide it from the queen mother and your majesty······"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Dou's attention was inevitably attracted by her daughter Liu Concubine beside her.

——In the past two years, Empress Dowager Dou's eyes have become worse and worse.

In the early years, when the first emperor was still alive, although the Empress Dowager Dou was also dazzled, she was at least able to walk on her own.

At worst, it can also be used on some formal occasions, such as the Great Pilgrimage Ceremony, the Silkworm Ceremony and other major ceremonies, so that people can't see anything wrong.

When the first emperor died, when Ziqi succeeded to the throne today, although the Empress Dowager Dou was no longer able to walk alone, she could still see the figure of the lake.

Although I can't see the facial features clearly, I can at least see an outline, where the head is and where the body is.

But recently, especially after the beginning of spring this year, Empress Dowager Dou's eyes have become more and more unable to see things clearly.

said that today, the CRRC subordinate Ling Xia Que was summoned to come, and they all walked into the hall and knelt on the ground, and the Empress Dowager Dou didn't know that people had come;

If it weren't for Xia Que's 'intimate' kowtow, she used a little more force than usual to attract the attention of the Empress Dowager Dou, and then reminded by her daughter Liu Concubine next to her, the Empress Dowager Dou was even likely to ask impatiently half an hour after Xia Que arrived: Why didn't the eunuch come?

And at this moment, when Empress Dowager Dou's attention was attracted by the voice coming from beside her, Ling Xia Que, a chariot in the middle of the palace, grasped this fleeting and life-saving straw personally handed by the eldest princess of the dynasty very accurately······

"Yu, Empress Dowager!"

"In this matter, His Royal Highness has indeed explained to the top and bottom of the Imperial Palace: dare to have a leaker clan!"

"But a few years ago, the crown prince told the prince to tell the princess: no matter what it is, as long as the queen mother and His Majesty ask, you must know everything!"

"Violators ······"

"Violators ·········"

Halfway through the words, although Xia Que was still frightened, he finally raised his head in front of him and glanced at Liu Yan beside the Empress Dowager Dou.

When Liu Yan nodded her head quietly, Xia Que bowed her head in a deep voice and issued 'Winter! There was a muffled sound.

"Violators will be killed immediately······"

···

···

······

After Xia Que's word 'immediate death', the Changxin Hall immediately fell into a long silence.

It was at this interval that while waiting for the verdict of fate, Ling Xiaque, a member of CRRC, also began to think about it secretly.

- Xia Que felt very wronged.

Because today, the reason why Xia Que appeared here is because Empress Dowager Dou sent Changle Palace Da Changqiu to go to the Taigong Palace to find Xia Que to question.

The person was found by the Empress Dowager Dou;

The words were also asked by the Empress Dowager Dou.

As a result, when Xia Que gave an answer, Empress Dowager Dou in turn blamed Xia Que for 'not having a strict mouth'······

"It is said that a companion is like a tiger;"

"I almost forgot: The Queen Mother, you are also ······"

Regarding Xia Que's inner activities, Empress Dowager Dou naturally knew nothing.

- Not to mention mental activities, even if it is a physiological activity, it is difficult for the current Empress Dowager Dou to detect it through her senses.

But if you can't detect it, it doesn't mean that Empress Dowager Dou is really a blind old lady.

Or it should be said: Everyone who is the Empress Dowager Dou is 'just a blind old woman', the grave grass has grown taller than Liu Sheng······

"Prince Gongxiao, that's the prince's business;"

"If you are a slave and a maid, you have to keep your duty as a slave and a maid, and don't be stunned about everything."

"Especially the things in the womb, most of them are just one or two things that come out casually, and they will shake the ······ of the sect and the country."

···

"This time, that's it."

"In the future, remember to keep your mouth shut."

"Anyway, it's also the eunuch order of the imperial palace, I don't understand this reason······

As if she had no intention of saying more, and dropped a few words as if she were talking to herself, the Empress Dowager Dou turned sideways indifferently and continued to walk towards an unknown corner, her eyes scattered.

Seeing her mother's posture, Liu Yanzi also stood up at the right time, raised her hand lightly towards Xia Que, and signaled her to retreat.

After Xia Que was relieved, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and exited the temple gate as if he had been amnestied, Liu Yan turned her body back again;

Just before Concubine Liu could speak, Empress Dowager Dou's low, hoarse, but frightening indifferent tone resounded throughout the Changxin Hall again······

"You don't inquire about the affairs of the palace."

"It's really to the point where the prince turns his face and doesn't recognize people, a Gillian can't protect you, the 'eldest princess'······"

With a light word, Liu Concubine was stunned on the spot, and the pastry that was about to be delivered to the mouth of the Empress Dowager Dou was also hung in the air for a long time together with Liu Concubine who was stunned in place.

Concubine Liu was a little confused!

After hearing everything that happened in the Taigong from Xia Que's mouth, especially what Liu Sheng said to Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, Liu Yan's first reaction was to complain to her mother.

Because of Liu Sheng's attitude towards King Zhao and Liu Pengzu, Liu Concubine smelled a dangerous atmosphere.

- As Liu Concubine complained before: Liu Sheng can be so ruthless to the brothers of the same mother, how can he be soft on his mother-in-law in the future?

It's just that the eldest princess Liu Concubine lives by being soft-hearted;

Therefore, Liu Yan's previous plan was to get a promise from her mother, Empress Dowager Dou, through the incident of Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao.

Promises like, 'Don't be afraid, I'll go talk to the prince and ask the prince to be kind to his relatives.'"

It's just that after the Empress Dowager Dou left, this fluttering sentence made Liu Yan's belly of drafts suffocated in her throat.

Because Liu Concubine heard it very clearly;

What the Empress Dowager Dou said was not 'Gillian can't keep you, the eldest princess';

Rather: Gillian, I can't keep you, the 'eldest princess'······

"Mother, mother, mother, where is this ······?"

···

"Is it ······?"

"Your Majesty?"

There was a moment of silence that was quite awkward, and then he smiled stiffly and wanted to be polite, and finally realized that the Empress Dowager Dou was in a wrong mood, and finally realized something.

It's just that Liu Concubine asked a tentative question, but she didn't get a positive answer from the Empress Dowager Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou is more like talking to herself······

"Alas······"

"In the past two years, the emperor has suffered a lot······"

"In the next few years, what the emperor wants to do, you should mix less."

"-When you have a full stomach, you will run less to the Shaofu;"

"-I can get by, and I don't go to Weiyang Palace."

"Emperor, it's not easy to ······"

"Anyway, I'm also a sister, so I don't add a little chaos to the emperor."

"Don't be like King Zhao, my younger brother hasn't even sat on the throne, and he has started to make trouble······"

Winter!

Empress Dowager Dou seems to be illogical, the 'whispering' of a stick in the east and a hammer in the west seems to be in the heart of Liu Yan, smashing a hammer!

And Liu Yan's next reaction is undoubtedly to prove to the whole world: even the eldest princess who is privately nicknamed "seeing money" and "falling into the eyes of money" is definitely a qualified political figure.

And for a qualified politician, the most indispensable ability is to judge the situation······

"What the mother means, the daughter understands······"

"After I went back, my daughter told the people in the house: In the past few years, I have not forgotten to send carriages and horses······"

···

"Then the prince's side, daughter, do you want to move around more?"

After the previous sentence came out, Liu Yan clearly saw the frost on her mother's face, which seemed to have melted a little;

But at the same time as the latter sentence was spoken, even halfway through the sentence, Liu Concubine had already regretted it.

- Because at the moment when Liu Concubine said another sentence, Empress Dowager Dou's frosty face instantly ignited a raging fire······

"What more could you want?!"

"There is me, the mother of the Queen Mother, the younger brother of the emperor who reigns over the world in the Weiyang Palace!"

"The crown prince in the palace is your nephew, and the crown princess is your daughter!

”

"—what the hell are you going to do!

！

”

"——Do you have to let your son sit on the throne and live in my Changle Palace to be satisfied!

！

！

”

！

！

The sudden anger seemed to be a meteorite falling from the sky and plunging into the soil slab, and a rapid muffled sound sounded in the entire Changxin Hall.

After a while, everything was 'settled';

In the entire Changxin Palace, except for the Empress Dowager Dou, who was standing with angry eyes, there was no second living creature who dared to lift his forehead from the floor even half an inch.

Including Liu Yan, the owner of the pavilion in front of the imperial couch, is also included······

"Get out!

！ ”

Another loud shout, only frightened Liu Yan's eyes red in an instant, but she didn't dare to cry in front of her mother at all, only took small steps, and trotted out of the palace gate with all her grievances.

After a while, the cry of Liu Yan gradually became loud outside the hall, and the Empress Dowager Dou, who was still full of anger, sat down on the royal couch with a butt······

"Bitter ······"

"Bitter ······"

"My grandson, life is ······"

"A Dou baby, who lost the honor of the prince and the princess, drank and had fun all day long, and felt sorry for himself;"

"A Gillian, when she was a teenager, was carried into the door of the palace by her aunt."

"Outside the border, there are clan 'elders' and siblings, but none of them are worry-free;"

"There is also an uncle who is groggy all day long, and still sits in the emperor's dream, guarding the gate of Guanzhong······"

···

"Bitter ······"

"I'm also bitter."

"From Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Xiaohui, to the two young emperors before and after, and then to the first emperor."

"Seeing it, I want to send away the sixth emperor of the Han family······"

"-Sent away my father-in-law, uncle, and even my husband;"

"See, I want to send my son away again, and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man······"

In the almost absolute silence of the palace, Empress Dowager Dou's sad self-muttering spread to every corner with great clarity.

No one dared to look up;

There is still no one who dares to raise his forehead even half an inch.

At this moment, endless misery surged into the heart of this 'blind old woman'.

It's just that after just a few dozen breaths, the most powerful woman in the whole world has re-established the queen mother's shelf.

- not that she wanted to;

Rather, she had to······

"King Zhao has been wronged by the prince, and he has to hold a grudge against the prince."

"Go to King Zhao's mansion to send 500 gold, saying that it is the queen mother's reward, and the right should be consoled······"

···

"Go and get the emperor again."

"I, I want to see the emperor again······"
