As soon as the palace maid's voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near outside, and it didn't look like a woman's when it sounded like a woman.

Sure enough, the queen looked up and saw the prince coming in, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" There are no rules, and I don't even wait for the pass to come in. ”

The prince is full of anxiety, how can he still have the kung fu to pass it on? When he came in, he said to the palace maid inside.

"All retreat, this prince has something to say to the queen mother!"

Seeing this, the other palace ladies looked at the queen one after another.

The queen also realized that the situation was wrong, and she knew the prince she taught best.

Usually treats people very kindly, but suddenly becomes so anxious, so unceremoniously driving people away, something must be wrong.

The queen couldn't help but tremble in her heart, waved her hand, and the palace maids in the room rushed out.

Soon the door was shut, and the queen got up and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

The prince thought of what happened in the Drunken Immortal Residence just now, he came all the way, and he didn't know if he had alarmed more people, no, it must have been alarmed, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said.

"Queen Mother, do you know that the Chu family is going to do something to Yue Lingjun, they are going to kill Yue Lingjun in secret, and they don't want Yue Lingjun to return to the capital safely."

The queen looked dazed: "What did you say?" The Chu family wants to attack Yue Lingjun? Impossible, the emperor deliberately said in the court before that he hoped that Yue Lingjun would return to Beijing safely, this is already an attitude, no matter which family does not dare to act rashly at this time, where did you hear about it? ”

Obviously, the queen didn't know about it either.

The prince didn't feel that it was groundless, that Chu Zhigao looked empty-hearted, obviously he really heard it.

As for whether the elders of the Chu family are really planning secretly, that is what he should investigate next, and once this matter is true, it will be bad.

The prince hurriedly told him about the cause and effect of what he had accidentally heard when he was drinking in the drunken immortal room.

After hearing this, the queen's face changed greatly, and then she reacted quickly, grabbed the prince's wrist and asked.

"How do you do that? What about those people? How did you get here? ”

The prince said angrily.

"Queen Mother, when is this, I naturally detained those people in the Drunken Immortal Residence, and Chu Zhigao's bastard, I also sent someone to watch it, and now the Drunken Immortal Residence has been blocked by me."

"You, what do you say!"

The queen looked shocked, and then said angrily.

"You, you! You, how can you just put people in the inn? When you encounter this kind of thing, you should kill him directly, no, not only Chu Zhigao, but also everyone in the private room at that time, you should kill him, this is the real seal. ”

"Then quickly leave from the Drunken Immortal Residence, you must not expose that you know about this matter, no matter who asks, you will deny it, pretending to be stupid is the best way to deal with it, why did you block the Drunken Immortal Residence? Well, this has really become a handle! ”

The prince looked confused, not knowing what he had done wrong, so he quickly explained.

"Queen Mother, I didn't know the truth of this matter at the time, so I detained people in the Drunken Immortal Residence, and I have already asked people to completely seal the Drunken Immortal Residence, without my permission, no one can go in, and it is impossible for the people inside to spread the news outside."

The queen couldn't help gritting her teeth: "You and the Nine Emperors are fighting each other, everyone in the capital knows about this, and the Nine Emperors have been looking forward to pulling you down from the position of the crown prince. ”

"In case this is an escape from the eyeline, and then publicize it like this, adding fuel and vinegar, and directly linking you with the assassination of Yue Lingjun, even if there is no evidence now, do you think that according to Lao Jiu's character, he will not fabricate evidence for you on the spot?"

The queen hated that iron could not become steel: "This matter, you are really inappropriate, we have to quickly think of countermeasures, how to clear up the relationship." ”

The prince was also anxious for a while, he really didn't know that the decision he made on the spot would have so many hidden dangers, so what should he do next? The prince was in a hurry, so he asked.

The queen could only speak out to appease.

"Don't worry, I really don't know the situation on the Chu family's side, but I think Yue Lingjun will definitely not be able to hide if he is assassinated, he has made too many enemies in the capital, whether it is the Chu family or someone else's family, they will want to kill him."

"As long as Yue Lingjun really encountered an assassination on the way to the capital, even if it is found out that it is not the Chu family in the end, he will still be labeled as the Chu family, and in this way, you will not be able to escape the involvement! The family didn't even tell me. ”

The prince was also very angry, the Chu family made their own decisions, and now they let themselves be implicated, it would be bad if Lao Jiu grabbed the handle.

The queen pondered, and suddenly looked at the prince and gritted her teeth.

"By the way, maybe all this is their trap, deliberately, it must be the Nine Emperors deliberately, involving you, as long as you know in advance that the Chu family is going to kill Yue Lingjun, but you don't tell your father, then it will be regarded as disobeying your father's order."

"In this way, Lao Jiu's goal has been achieved, no, Chu Zhigao must be dealt with quickly, he can't be brought to the emperor alive, he is the only witness!"

The prince finally understood what the queen mother meant, yes, he was really stupid, he should have killed Chu Zhigao on the spot.

After all, only Chu Zhigao was the only one who said this at that time, and the people who listened to this matter were those sons who were eating at the same table, and they were not important people anyway, so they killed them together.

Even if Lao Jiu's eyeliner goes out to publicize, as long as he can't catch someone, then there is no proof of death, as for Chu Zhigao, what about the strange deaths of those people who ate at the same table with him?

As long as there is no evidence, I can say that they collided with themselves, which is why they killed people.

Even if the father is suspicious, he won't be too angry, what is his identity, what are those identities?

But now......

A sweat oozed from the prince's forehead, and he said anxiously: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I'll go and kill my mouth now!" ”

While talking, I was about to go out, but unfortunately it was too late.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Suddenly, there was a shrill singing voice outside.

Hearing this familiar voice, the queen and the prince glanced at each other, and both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes, and then the door opened, and the queen and the prince saluted separately.

The chief eunuch Wang Gonggong walked in with the whisk, his face was white and beardless, his eyes were calm, but with a majesty, I saw him shake the whisk in his hand and said.

"Queen Mother, the emperor has a decree, please go to the imperial study, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be there, just save our family another trip, His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor will also let you go."

Hearing this, the mother and son looked at each other again, feeling uneasy.

They realized that they were afraid that they had really fallen into the trap, all this was too coincidental and timely, and Lao Jiu, that bastard, really didn't give them a chance to breathe!

The prince also realized that he had been too negligent this time, and his face turned slightly pale.

The queen was afraid that the prince would show her feet, so she said with a smile on her face: "Obey the order." ”

Then he beckoned to the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid cleverly handed over a few silver tickets, and then the queen personally stepped forward, stood in front of the princess, and smiled and stuffed the silver ticket in her hand into the hand of the princess.

"Princess, this is not a festival, why does the emperor suddenly want to see his concubines and princes, can you give me some advice?"

The prince quietly accepted the silver ticket and hid it in his sleeve before smiling and respectfully.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor just wants to ask a few words, and the Nine Emperors are also there, maybe the emperor misses the children."

Hearing that the Nine Emperors were also in the imperial study, and had gone before them, the queen and the crown prince couldn't hold back their expressions.

If at the beginning, they only suspected that all this was set up by the Nine Emperor Princes, then now, they are almost certain that all of this is a trap!

Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, is really a difficult one.

The queen's eyes were complicated, she gritted her teeth, and the prince also clenched his fists, eager to rush to the imperial study and directly finish off Lao Jiu.

Recently, he was defeated by Lao Jiu, and he thought that the other party would be complacent and relax a little, but he didn't expect it to be pressing step by step, is this trying to take him down in one fell swoop?

The prince urged: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't we go over first?" You can't let the emperor wait too long. ”

The queen laughed dryly: "That's right, the emperor has personally announced it, so we naturally have to hurry over." ”

After saying that, he was calm, and after tidying up his clothes, he took the prince out.

On the way, the prince couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Queen Mother, what should we do next?" Will my father ......?"

"Shut up!"

The queen was angry, but there was no point in being angry now, and she had to think of a solution to the trouble quickly.

She glanced at the princess who was leading the way in front, and then said in a low voice.

"Later, give me some cooperation in front of your father, remember, you must not admit that you know about this, so as not to respond to all changes, before your father asks, it is best to talk less."

"Also, after Lao Jiu opened his mouth, he also spoke to me carefully, it is better not to say it, let the queen mother say, as a last resort, you must also clear up the relationship when you speak, all in all, I don't know, understand?"

The prince also knew that he had done something stupid in a hurry, and now he had to make amends.

……

The door of the imperial study slowly opened, and when I looked in from the outside, I saw the Nine Emperor Princes kneeling below.

Emperor Daxia was sitting above with an expressionless face, holding a book of folds in his hand, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Daxia was distracted, not criticizing any folds.

Concubine Li's face was tense, and her delicate and charming face flashed with nervousness, especially when she saw her son kneeling there, her heart was even more worried.

"Concubine Li, please."

A eunuch stepped forward to greet her, and Concubine Li could only cross the threshold and enter the imperial study.

The door to the study closed again, and the light inside the room dimmed.

Concubine Li swallowed her saliva, endured her weakness and said to Emperor Daxia: "The concubines see the emperor, I don't know why the emperor summoned the concubines to come?" ”

Concubine Li's voice was a little dry, obviously not controlling her emotions yet.

Seeing this, the Nine Emperor Sons, who were kneeling next to him, took the initiative to open their mouths: "Father, let ...... it"

"Shut up!"

Emperor Daxia interrupted the words of the Nine Emperor Princes: "I didn't let you speak, so you just shut your mouth for me." ”

The Nine Emperors were uneasy, but they also knew that they couldn't disobey their father's will at the moment, so they could only keep their mouths shut honestly.

However, those eyes couldn't help but look at Concubine Li next to her, and kept making her eyes, but they were a little vague, and the Great Xia Emperor who was sitting on the hand couldn't see it.

Concubine Li only dared to glance at her son, she didn't dare to do it too obviously, she looked at Emperor Daxia pitifully and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”
