Giving Yue Ling enough time to think about it, Zhou Xun didn't say anything more, and only leisurely tasted the tea in Xingqing Palace.

Counting the time when it was almost time to leave the palace, Zhou Xun spoke again.

"I know the princess won't trust me easily, so why don't I help my princess solve a problem first!" Zhou Xun played a dumb riddle and didn't directly tell Yue Ling what trouble he wanted to solve.

Yue Ling didn't speak, she really wanted to see who this Zhou Xun was.

"I won't bother the princess, the tea in Xingqing Palace is good, but it doesn't have the taste of Beisai, I'll send some to the princess to taste another day." Zhou Xun got up to say goodbye, and specifically mentioned tea.

After Zhou Xun left, Yue Ling thought for a long time with the teacup, the tea in Beisai? Beisai is bitterly cold, the land is barren, how can there be any good tea?

Yue Ling couldn't think of why his brother came, and his eyes fell on Huaying again.

Huaying hurriedly got up, with a face full of refusal: "Princess, I don't know anything, don't ask me." ”

After speaking, Huaying covered her mouth, and resolutely refused to leak half a word about Zhou Xun in front of Yue Ling.

Even if Huaying refuses to say it, Yue Ling won't blame her, although Zhou Xun is mysterious, but he is not like an enemy. Believe Zhou Xun for the time being, multiple helpers are always much stronger than multiple enemies.

Yue Ling put his thoughts forward again. Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the principle believed in by civil officials and officials, and it is very difficult to do something unfavorable to the Son of Heaven.

It's really nerve-wracking, Yue Ling didn't come up with any good way, so he could only take one step at a time, and now let Xiao Junyan have a headache and tear up the covenant with his relatives! In the future, I will find an opportunity to make Xiao Junyan lose support little by little.

The court of Daliang was very uncalm, and the matter of impeaching Princess Yongjia had not yet been resolved, and the people of Yushitai suddenly came out to impeach the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Xiao Junyan was angry on the spot, blaming the imperial history manager for being too wide, and stretched his hand into the palace.

After the next dynasty, Xiao Junyan went directly to Shoukang Palace, and he had some doubts that he needed to be answered by Mrs. Zhou.

"Does the queen mother know that you were also involved in the imperial history today?"

Empress Dowager Zhou snorted coldly: "The mourning family has long said that Jiajia and his relatives will be criticized for escaping on the road, and now it is all involved in the mourning family." ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou only heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou had no way to teach her daughter, but she didn't know that the follow-up Yushitai also pointed out that the Empress Dowager Zhou was suspected of killing the palace concubine.

If it weren't for the long time and no evidence to prove it, Xiao Junyan wouldn't know how to end it.

"Mother, are you okay with yourself?" Xiao Junyan also has secrets hidden in his heart, secrets he knew when he was very young, but he has been in a high position over the years and has gradually forgotten them.

After the Empress Dowager Zhou was sensitized, the secrets in the depths of his memory were remembered by him again.

"What does your majesty mean by this?" The relationship between mother and son has been tossed several times, and now it is no longer as close as it used to be.

"The queen mother naturally understands, does she have to say it?" Xiao Junyan had a straight face, and he also held the majesty of the Son of Heaven in front of his mother.

Empress Dowager Zhou realized that Xiao Junyan might know something, but the person in front of her was her son, and she had a clear conscience: "The mourning family has been in the harem for so many years, and after two dynasties, what can be the problem?" ”

"Does the queen mother have anything to do with the death of Concubine Yuan?"

Xiao Junyan's words were amazing, and Empress Dowager Zhou didn't expect her son to mention the woman she was most jealous of.

"What do you know? The Yuan family has been dead for almost twenty years, and your father didn't suspect that he was very busy when he was alive, and it was your turn to talk nonsense here. "Empress Dowager Zhou has a weak heart, in order to protect the posterior, in order to continue the glory of the Zhou family, she did a lot of things that could not see the light.

"Queen Mother, are you still going to hide it from me?" Although he was still young at that time, Xiao Junyan still remembered the joy of the first emperor after the birth of the fifth prince of Yuan Guifei's child.

is just a prince, but the first emperor has blessed the world for this and celebrated with all the people. Directly reduce the taxes of the year, and even grant amnesty to the world.

It is rumored that the first emperor wanted to directly appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince, but Yuan Guifei refused. Later, Yuan Guifei died violently, the five princes died, and earth-shaking changes took place in the palace.

After Xiao Junyan became an adult, the princes competed for the throne, and he had also seen the methods of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

So Xiao Junyan actually already knew it in his heart, and he just wanted to hear what the Empress Dowager Zhou said.

I feel guilty that the Empress Dowager Zhou has no confidence in the face of her son. Back then, the Yuan family's holy favor was rich, and she overshadowed the limelight of a queen, she really hated it, and she did use some means.

What about the favor of the emperor, who has a long life, who can have the last laugh.

"Your Majesty, you are the son of the mourning family, don't you trust the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Zhou played the family card, she didn't want to admit the past in front of her son.

"I ......" doesn't he trust? Xiao Junyan didn't want to admit it, he just didn't want people to think that his throne was not coming from the right way, obviously he was the crown prince set up by the previous emperor, but he had no confidence.

"Your Majesty, this incident is all caused by Jiajia, you can't be soft-hearted."

wanted to throw the pot on Princess Yongjia, Queen Mother Zhou had a wishful thinking.

"Mother, I will protect you and Jiajia." Whether it is his sister or his mother, Xiao Junyan wants to protect it.

Empress Dowager Zhou still doesn't want her son to be stigmatized in the history books because of his affinity: "Your Majesty, you are a Ming monarch, be careful about the world, not just for your own selfishness." Jiajia's matter must be dealt with seriously. ”

"Queen Mother!" Xiao Jun became angry, he couldn't see his mother blindly retreating the responsibility to his sister.

"It seems that the queen mother is unwilling to tell the truth! I still have something to do, so I'll go first. There was no way to continue to stay in Shoukang Palace, Xiao Junyan turned around and left.

Looking at her son's back, Empress Dowager Zhou's body relaxed suddenly, if it wasn't for Mama Xu holding her, she might have fallen to the ground more.

Xingqing Palace

Yue Ling heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou was also involved, and felt that these officials were too lenient. But when she thought about it, her mind suddenly cleared.

She called Flower Shadow: "Did your master do it?" ”

I feel that things are a little outrageous, if it weren't for the driving force behind the scenes, which imperial history would stare at the royal people all day long.

"Hmm!" Hua Ying nodded, this was something she had already been instructed to tell Yue Ling.

"Why did your master target the Empress Dowager Zhou?" Yue Ling just didn't understand what Zhou Xun did to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"There's a grudge." Huaying did not hide it this time, and directly told the relationship between Zhou Xun and the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Hatred? What hatred? Yue Ling somewhat understood what Zhou Xun meant before leaving, this was his sincerity!

"I don't know about this, the master didn't say it, we as subordinates only know that the master has a blood feud with the royal family and the Zhou family." Huaying is a big-hearted person, and she followed Zhou Xun early, but she didn't know much about Zhou Xun.

"It seems that you are not his confidant, you don't even know this." Yue Ling deliberately teased Huaying, just to see if this little girl had anything to hide.
