In the following days, there was no news from the empress, and the letter was sent to the empress, but she did not make any move.

During the period when Gu Hanzhang was recuperating from his injuries, the palace kept his news secret, and no one knew that he was injured.

However, Gu Hanzhang was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the news of his invasion of Eagle Cliff should be known, but the people who stayed in the town still did not notice Fu Qiang's actions, and only saw Long Yan go down the mountain and did not go out again after returning to the imperial city.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and as time passes, Gu Hanzhang's injuries have greatly improved, thanks to Ruoruo's very effective medicines, and Gu Hanzhang's own health is very good.

After four or five days, Gu Hanzhang was able to get out of bed and walk around, but he didn't let him lie down for more than ten days.

Now that Gu Hanzhang is walking around the palace, there is no problem, and he will not stop him.

The two of them took a walk after breakfast, and not long after they arrived at the large garden, a palace maid came to look for them in a hurry.

"I've seen Your Royal Highness, the prince, Your Majesty asked the two of you to move to the imperial study, and the eldest princess is also here." The palace maid said.

Chao Liran nodded, thinking that it should be Prince Gong's business.

Fortunately, now that the little guy in the womb has been in his womb for more than two months and is also very healthy, it is time to deal with Prince Gong, and then he will be in full swing as soon as possible.

During this time, Gu Hanzhang's letters became more and more dense, and it seems that the situation on the side of Daqi may not be very good.

"Okay, we'll be right over." Towards the detachment should be down.

When the two of them arrived at the imperial study, Fang Huimin was already waiting, and Ye Rin was also sitting on the side.

Chao Li and Gu Hanzhang saluted the three of them in turn, and then the empress also asked them to sit down and talk.

"Hanzhang, are your injuries healed?" The empress looked at Gu Hanzhang and asked.

Gu Hanzhang smiled and nodded, "Let my grandmother worry, my injuries have healed, if there is anything that needs to be done, just let me know." ”

The Empress chuckled, "You kid, it really saddens me to say that I care about you because I want you to do things." ”

"Don't get me wrong, grandmother, that's not what I meant." Gu Hanzhang explained helplessly.

Of course, he also knew that the Empress was not serious about this, but was just joking on purpose.

The atmosphere was lively, everyone smiled, and then it was time to get to the point.

"I already know about Prince Gong's side, and I have checked it according to the letter that Hanzhang got back, and I can almost determine the current situation. It's just, but with the help of letters, if you want to punish Prince Gong, it's almost something. Therefore, I arranged for Long Lin to return to the house as an internal response, but I knew that Prince Gong did not believe in Long Lin. ”

After the empress finished speaking, her eyes fell on Gu Hanzhang's body, as if she wanted to hear Gu Hanzhang's thoughts.

Gu Hanzhang pondered for a moment, "Grandmother, it is true that Long Lin is not trusted by Prince Gong, but Long Yan is the person he trusts the most. The relationship between Long Yan and Long Lin is not close, but they are brothers anyway, and they are not worried. Therefore, Long Lin might as well start from Long Yan's body, maybe there will be a gain. ”

According to Gu Hanzhang's understanding, Long Yan is much different from Prince Gong, so it is actually convenient for him to get started.

Hearing this, the empress reacted in hindsight.

"Also, Long Yan is indeed a good entry point, if it weren't for Hanzhang seeing Long Yan at Eagle Cliff, I would have been deceived by Prince Gong. Alas, I didn't expect him to have been planning for so many years, maybe after Ah Lian passed away, he had such an idea. Perhaps in his eyes, Ah Lian's death was deliberately committed by me, and in the final analysis, it was a grievance from many years ago. However, she did follow Ah Lian's ingenuity, like her. The Empress couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Rin saw the empress's sadness, and he reached out to hold the empress's hand and give her strength.

"Grandmother, this Ah Lian is Prince Gong's biological mother, but why would he blame his mother's death on his grandmother's head?" Chao Li asked.

The Empress sighed slightly, "Let your grandfather tell you." ”

Ye Rin understood that the empress didn't want to mention Long Lian, which would arouse her sadness, so she asked Ye Rin to talk about it.

"Long Lian is His Majesty's own sister, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood, and they have always been sticky. When the empress became the empress, the first emperor said that she would let Long Lian be her dark emperor, but Long Lian refused, she didn't want to divide the imperial power in the west. Later, the two got married separately and had their own homes, and it was nothing to look at. The problem lies with Long Lian's husband, she loves her husband deeply, so she has a different mind under the man's prodding. When dealing with the empress once, Long Lian's male husband was shot dead by random arrows, and the empress caught Long Lian, and the two chatted for a long time. After that, Long Lian suddenly came to her senses, went back to settle Prince Gong, and drank poisonous wine to kill herself. ”

"Your Majesty really loves this sister, so he is not willing to kill them all, but he is very good to Prince Gong and has always regarded him as a parent. Even when several princes had conflicts with Prince Gong, the empress reprimanded the princes and stood on Prince Gong's side. In the final analysis, the empress felt that she had not guided Long Lian well to let her have such a situation, so she felt that she was at fault, and her attitude towards Prince Gong became more and more gentle. However, now it seems that Prince Gong does not know the truth of the matter, and only thinks that his mother was killed by His Majesty. Moreover, he should have heard some rumors, so he felt that it was His Majesty's fault and wanted to fight for the throne. ”

As for the people who opened their mouths to tell Prince Gong about those rumors, there was actually no need to delve into it.

After all, Prince Gong's age is here, and those thoughts have been ingrained in his mind for so many years, and it is useless to say it.

And Prince Gong's ambition, the empress has only known in recent years.

Chaoli frowned slightly, "Grandmother, grandfather, why didn't you tell Prince Gong about these things?" Now that we have seen that he is wrong, we should talk openly and honestly about it, so that it is good for everyone. Even if he can't change anything, he must know that he is not justified in wanting to compete for the throne. Moreover, there was no need for grandmother to kill Long Lian at all, and there was no need to force her to die, after all, Xilin was all respected by the elder. The throne will only fall on her grandmother in the end, and it has nothing to do with Long Lian, let alone that Long Lian did something wrong. ”

"How can it be so simple, I also told him, but he responded to it on his face, but in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all." The Empress sighed.

In other words, Prince Gong is drilling the horns of the bull and is unwilling to accept this statement.

Chaoli didn't think so, she didn't think that Prince Gong didn't listen to it at all, maybe he had already understood.

"I don't think he understands, but he doesn't want to understand."
