Things in the palace, the feast bell does not know the specific details. But when the news of the prince's death came, she understood what the third brother said when he saw Zhao Zhao away.

The crown prince is indeed dying. However, even Ning Shuo didn't expect him to have such a fight in the end.

He silently put on plain clothes and followed everyone into the palace to worship.

The Li family took the girls together, and Ning Guogong took his three sons.

Feast Bell was always worried about Ning Shuo, and turned back three times earlier, Li Shi was relieved and reassured: "He's fine." ”

The prince has no relationship with their family, so if he dies, he will die, just see what impact it will have on his merits in the future. It's the town of the country...... She sighed, "I don't know what happened, but it's certainly not easy. Let's just be cautious in what we say and do, regardless of whether we have it or not. ”

Feast Bell nodded, "I know." ”

Mo Yunyan personally came out to entertain them, and said: "The male guest has the help of the prince of Zhenguo, the crown princess is sick, and the female guest is here." ”

She is now the most powerful person in the East Palace except for Mama Su, even if Mrs. Yipin has to smile and talk when she sees her, she doesn't dare to offend easily anyway. Seeing that she was handling the affairs of the East Palace in an orderly manner, Feast Ling felt that she was the fastest growing in their group.

At this time last year, she was still a struggling concubine, and she was criticized, but now, it is the lady in charge of the Song family who is here, and when she sees her, she also wants to call Miss Mo affectionately.

The feast bell asked in a low voice, "Is the crown princess okay?" ”

Mo Yunyan shook his head, "I've always been in poor spirits, I can't eat anything this morning, I have no choice but to ask someone to get sugar water for her to drink, so that she can replenish her spirit." ”

Feast Bell nodded, "That's good." ”

She said, "Is she asleep now?" ”

Mo Yunyan: "I didn't sleep, just waiting for you to come, she told me early, if you came, I would ask you to see her." ”

Feast Bell couldn't hide her sadness, "Actually, she is also very bitter." ”

The husband died, and so did the father.

The husband may not be so good, but he is a relative who has grown up together since childhood. Her father was cruel to others, but he was dutiful to her.

It is not easy to think that her husband and father died on the same day, leaving her to deal with it alone.

She said to Li: "Auntie, the crown princess called me." ”

Li: "She's good to you, hey, go and comfort her." ”

Feast Bell nodded, "I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

Then he asked, "What about the fifth sister?" ”

Li: "The lady of the Wu family pulled her to speak. Your second sister-in-law is also surrounded by the Han family. ”

Feast Bell is not a little girl who has just come to Kyoto and doesn't know anything, knowing that the two families want to ask for something from them. But the second sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law have tight mouths, where can they inquire, if they can't inquire, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied again.

Feast Bell sighed: "Then I'll go first." ”

When she saw the crown princess, she didn't have the heart to think about anything else. She walked over and sat down beside her, and tears fell from her eyes.

The crown princess smiled weakly, "I scared you?" Why do you still cry so easily. ”

Feast Bell wiped her tears, "It's only been a long time since I've seen you, why have you lost so much weight." And...... Your hair is also a lot grayer. ”

The crown princess is really white-headed overnight.

She didn't know it herself. The people who took care of her did not dare to say it, and her mother and brother could not bear to say it, so no one said it. But Yan Ling is still a straight person, and he said it directly. She was stunned and said, "Really? If you bring me a mirror, I'll see how much gray hair you have? ”

The feast bell came over with a mirror and slowly came to the front of the crown princess. The crown princess noticed that her hands were trembling, and she couldn't help laughing.

She stretched out her hand, slowly covering the hand of the feast bell, and held it steadily, "Don't be afraid, I've seen everything, it's just gray hair, nothing remarkable." ”

The feast bell cried and nodded.

Only then did the crown princess look at herself in the mirror.

Then he froze.

After a long while, he said, "It's so white, it looks a lot older." ”

Feast bell: "It's going to get better, just nourish it." I read in the medical book that it was written that this was because of too much grief, and when I got better in the future, my new hair would still be healthy. ”

The crown princess smiled, "No, I like white hair like this." ”

She muttered, "At least it seems that I am a person and have a conscience." If there is no decay anywhere, but only a wound to me, what punishment is it called? ”

"In this life, the most useless thing is what he died, and I was sad for a lifetime. What's the use of being sad? Nothing worked. I'm fine with that, at least some punishment. ”

She felt a little better.

The feast bell couldn't cry, and turned away with the bronze mirror in his hand, so that she wouldn't see it. The crown princess suddenly asked: "In the past few years, has your husband ever been white-headed?" ”

The feast bell shook his head.

Crown Princess: "This is a blessing, but Taifu did not have a white hair when he was old." It's always been like this at home. ”

She touched her head, "There are few white-headed people in my family." I started it. ”

chatting like this, but hearing the feast bell was even more sad, she said: "Now everything is in the past, good and evil have a head and will be rewarded in the end, and it can be regarded as a good ending." ”

The crown princess did not speak.

After a while, he said, "Yanling, there is one thing I haven't figured out." ”

"I will ask you about this, and Your Majesty will also ask your third brother. You have to think about what to say. ”

The feast bell nodded.

The crown princess asked, "Shouke...... What did your third brother tell him, which made him suddenly change his mind and send Zhao Zhao away, and he had the intention to die again. ”

In this matter, Feast Ling had already made a good deal with Ning Shuo, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

She said: "We wanted to send Zhao Zhao away, but Zhen Guogong blocked all the roads, and at that time, we had to go back. But when will you return? Later, things will change, and we don't dare to go back, so we want to take risks. ”

"Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince change his mind?"

She said seriously: "After all, all other places are killers, and if there is a fight, it will inevitably hurt Zhaozhao." It's better to go to the prince's side, the prince...... In any case, it will not hurt her life. ”

The crown princess understood what she meant, nodded, and motioned for her to continue.

Feast Bell: "At that time, we thought about how to convince the prince. Later, the third brother said that he had contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince several times, and once, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gave him a horse called Chunying. At that time, Haruka carried him under a large tree, and used his hooves to dig the earth, so he tried to dig and dug out a jar of wine. When the prince came, his eyes were very gentle, and he said that it was the wine buried by Lan Shi. ”

"Zhao Zhao is Suilanshi's sister again, if you say it as Suilanshi, wouldn't it be better?"

The crown princess suddenly said: "So that's it." So yes, so your third brother pretended to be Lan Shi? ”

Feast Bell nodded, "Yes." ”

The crown princess remembered the confused words of the prince after he came back, and her eyes were hot, "Then did he believe it?" ”

……

"Did he believe it?"

The emperor lowered his eyes, lay down on the couch, and asked, "You deceived him like this, and he believed it?" ”

On the other side, Ning Shuo was also called in front of the emperor.

He had just arrived at the palace, and before he went to the East Palace, he was picked up by the eunuchs beside the emperor.

Goodbye to the emperor, he is also much older.

The Emperor asked him what he had told the prince, and after listening to him, he asked the question he had expected.

"Did he believe it?"

Ning Shuo shook his head, "I don't believe it, I feel that the minister is lying to him." The minister thought he had failed, who knows, when he was about to say that the minister was indeed lying to him, he did not allow the minister to say. ”

He said: "The minister doesn't understand now, His Highness obviously didn't believe it at the time, but when the minister wanted to beg him frankly, he believed it." He said......"

Emperor: "What did he say?" ”

Ning Shuo said slowly: "He said, Lan Shi, you are Lan Shi, you are back, you are not dead, are you?" ”

The emperor was stunned, "Shouke...... This is the hope that you are Lan Shi. He had been hoping that Lan Shi would come back. ”

He shed a tear, "He figured it out on his own, maybe he figured it out a long time ago, but he didn't have the courage to do it." Now, when you say that you are Lan Shi, you can be regarded as fulfilling his last wish. ”

Ning Shuo knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister just wanted to ask him to be soft-hearted—"

But the emperor did not blame him, he said, "It is not your fault. ”

……

In the East Palace, the feast bell was very uneasy, and she was still very frightened, "Will Your Majesty blame the third brother?" ”

The crown princess shook her head.

"No, it won't."

"If King Jin or King Shun coaxed the crown prince, he would be very angry. But if the courtiers coax the prince, he will not be angry. ”

Feast Bell didn't understand, "Why?" ”

The crown princess looked out the window and said in a daze: "Our majesty, I don't know why, we are very lenient to everyone in the world, but we are especially harsh on our children. I don't really understand either. ”

Perhaps, it was because he felt that he was lenient to his courtiers and could get a good reputation, so that he could be recorded in the history books by the historians, leave a name through the ages, and become the monarch of the Holy Ming. And to be lenient to his son...... It's useless. Whether he is lenient to his children or not, he is their father, and his children must be filial to him and respect him. ”

Feast Bell was surprised: "This kind of thought...... It's weird. ”

Crown Princess: "Yes, it's strange. But people are inherently strange. ”

……

In the main hall, Ning Shuo was grateful to the emperor. The emperor had a good impression of him.

From the beginning of his career, he has always had an appetite for the emperor. He said, "Your husband is not Yuchuan, that is my real right-hand man, you follow your husband, in order to be born and die with the affairs of the family, you dare not delay for a moment, and never make friends with the prince and the king of Jin, your mind is pure, and you do things more and more like your husband." ”

"I see, you can be the minister of the humerus in the future."

Ning Shuo felt that these words were somewhat familiar.

He looked at the Emperor and saw his loving face, and suddenly felt a little sarcastic.

This was said to "him" a long time ago.

Back then, he also had a loving face, as if looking at his own juniors, and said: "Lan Shi, you can be the minister of the humerus." ”

"In the future, when you are by Shouke's side, you have to watch him all the time, where he is wrong, you have to say it well, don't let him mess around."

When His Majesty is acting, he will still make a full set, and in front of the shouke, he will blindly praise himself and make the shouke feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Shouke doesn't care about this, no matter what His Majesty says, he won't be separated from himself.

Your Majesty...... When I was an outsider, I liked to act. It seems that in this way, he can show how good he is to his courtiers, and if he is harsh on his own son, he can make his courtiers grateful to Dade.

Now, this method has been used by His Majesty on him again.

This time, who does he want to help?

The emperor's grandson?

Sure enough, yes.

The emperor asked him to get up and said, "I am old, and the old ministers around me have passed away one by one, and when I look back, there are few people left to use." I like your abilities and virtues very much, would you like to serve me? ”

Naturally, it has to be effective.

Ning Shuo knelt on the ground and made an excited look, and the emperor was very satisfied. He was very fond of young people. With just a few words of praise, they will be able to treat death as life for the future he has set for them without hesitation.

Therefore, the emperor was very fond of talking to young people.

Especially smart young people. He knew that Ning Shuo understood what he meant.

But things will be unclear for a while, he waved his hand, "You go and worship the prince, he ...... Even if it's fake, I should want to see you at this time. ”

Ning Shuo retreated.

The emperor looked at his back and suddenly said, "Don't say it, he really looks like Lan Shi." ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he smiled in a low voice, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always felt guilty, and when he pretended to be Lan, he untied His Highness's heart knot." ”

He also said: "The things in the world are really not written by coincidence. Who could have known that Lan Shi's little disciple in Lingnan could still come to Kyoto, and he happened to become his cousin, and he happened to go to investigate the case. ”

Emperor: "You said, he first found out that there was a mistake in the Suijia case, could it be that the little girl who taught Lan Shi reminded him?" ”

The old eunuch's head was lowered, "Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for talking too much, what does it matter?" ”

"Everything is just right, it's all a coincidence."

The Emperor thought of the situation that was still under his control today, and nodded, "Yes." ”

That's true.

He took care of everything he could, and he no longer cared about such trivial matters.

Ning Shuo went all the way back to the East Palace, where there was crying. Everyone is crying, but few are really crying.

Because he was called away by His Majesty, many people secretly looked at him when he came back. Well-informed, his gaze deepened when he looked at him.

He didn't look at any of them, walked to the coffin in silence, and slowly knelt down.

He burned the sacrificial paper, and his expression was gentle, as if he was catching up with an old friend.

He thought: Shouke, in the next life, you must have good parents.

Father, I don't really blame you. I don't blame you anymore.

If Zhao Zhao knew why you died, he should not hate you anymore.

Everything is scattered with the wind, everything is ...... It's over.

He raised his head, lit three incense sticks, bowed, put the incense on the altar, and muttered, "From now on, it's up to me." ”

He will inherit his father's word.

He will inherit the word of his husband.

He also has his own way.

It's just getting started.

The crown princess, he, the imperial grandson.

They will all have new stories.

Goodbye, Shouke.

4 and 5

There are also in the evening.
