Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fooling the Prince

Seeing the queen standing up nervously, Xu Jinrou also stood up immediately, and replied a little at a loss: "The concubine said that when she met a villain, he claimed to be the king of Jin, and said that the king of Jin was not dead, but..., but how could the concubine believe him, please rest assured." ”

"You..., where did you meet this scoundrel?" The queen tried her best to look calm, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Jinrou.

"The concubine is this villain who met in the south of Kyoto Castle." Xu Jinrou's face was suspicious, "The queen mother looks like this, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh, yes, there's nothing wrong with that." The queen let out a cloudy breath to calm her mind and sit back down.

"The mourning family just suddenly heard that there are such villains, who dare to pretend to be my poor Heng'er, and their hearts are really shocked, and their anger is really unbearable, but it is just the wanton nonsense of a shameless murderer, and that's it."

"What the queen mother said is, that is a shameless villain, the bones of the king of Jin are cold, how can the concubine allow the villain to talk like this, I saw that he tried to take the opportunity to escape, so I called the messenger of the city patrol department to arrest him, and please rest assured that the queen mother."

"That's good, the mourning family will rest assured, Jinrou, sit down and talk, talk about this matter in detail, and let the mourning family also listen to the idle things outside the palace." The queen's expression softened.

"Yes, the concubine will talk about it." Saying that, Xu Jinrou sat down gently.

"The day before yesterday, when it was getting dark, the concubine rode through the south of the city in a carriage, and met a man and a woman on the street corner, and the man said that he wanted to ride in the carriage, and the concubine came forward to inquire about the reason. When he inquired, he saw that his face was flustered, and he felt something strange in his heart, and then he heard the whistle of the city patrol officer, and suddenly felt inappropriate, and the man called him the king of Jin in a panic, and asked the concubine to take him away, and the concubine could not let his treacherous plan succeed, so he called the official and arrested him. Xu Jinrou spoke slowly and slowly.

The queen's eyes flickered, "That villain claims to be the King of Jin, does he have some resemblance to Heng'er?" ”

"Well..., yes, there is indeed a bit of similarity, the concubine almost believed it in a trance, and was almost deceived by him, but thinking that the husband had already died tragically in front of the battle, how could he be as shameless and despicable as that villain, in order to escape from the pursuit of the errand officer by car, he didn't even want his wife and children." Xu Jinrou's tone was very indignant.

The queen's expression became a little unnatural, "You said that the woman next to the villain is his wife?" ”

Xu Jinrou wiped the corners of her eyes, "Thinking of my poor husband, the concubine is embarrassed by herself, the queen mother, I often see him in my dreams, sometimes covered in blood for me to save him, and sometimes I am full of spirit and say that he will come back to see me..., the queen mother, the concubine thinks of him..."

"Hey, why don't you want to be Heng'er, it's been so long, Jinrou, you better mourn and change."

"Okay..., yes..., the concubine just can't control it." Xu Jinrou twitched and wiped her eyes.

"You said the thugs don't want wives and children, but they still have children?" The queen continued to ask.

"Well..., yes, when the concubine saw that the woman was holding a baby in her arms, she almost felt compassion and wanted to take them on a journey?" Xu Jinrou stopped her grief and said unhurriedly.

The queen's face changed again, and she raised her hand to caress her forehead, "Jinrou, let's talk about it today, the mourning family suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to rest." ”

Xu Jinrou hurriedly stood up, "If the queen mother is unwell, you should call the imperial doctor to come quickly, and the concubines can stay here and serve the queen mother wholeheartedly." ”

The queen hurriedly waved her hand, "Your filial piety, the mourning family knows, it doesn't matter, you should just sleep for a while, there are a lot of people serving here, and you don't need to guard it, just arrived in the palace, the carriage and horses were bumpy, thinking that you are also tired, or go back to rest." ”

"Yes, the concubine obeys the order of the queen mother, and the concubine retires." After saying that, Xu Jinrou saluted respectfully before turning around and retreating.

Not long after Xu Jinrou left, a eunuch hurriedly left Tianshou Palace and went straight to the outside of the palace.

Xu Jinrou, who had already returned to Ziyunxuan, listened to Fang Ruo's report, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her face was smiling.

"When the eunuch hurried to Cuiping Mountain outside the city, he would definitely be at a loss, and when he returned, the queen would be out of proportion, do you guess whether the queen would let me think of a way or would she go to Princess Zhao to ask for the Liu Prison Kingdom?"

Fang Ruo thought about it seriously, "Song Heng didn't die, if he hadn't broken it, the queen should still not want the princess to know, but how could Princess Zhao ask for Liu Ren to slaughter?" Not only did she not win the favor of the willow people, but also..."

Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed, "Even Liu Rentu has not seen it and has been insulted by his former subordinate minions one after another, as long as the prison government does not talk about such a thing, Princess Zhao will naturally not say it, and the queen will not know." ”

"In this way, as long as you don't help the princess, both King Zhao and King Song Heng of Jin will not be able to escape prison, and they can even take their lives." Fang Ruo looked at Xu Jinrou with wide eyes.

"That's true, but whether it's Song Xing or Song Heng, I won't let them die, they all have their own uses."

Looking at Fang Ruo's inquiring eyes, Xu Jinrou continued: "If the men of the Song royal family of the Great Chu clan die, then Ximan will pay attention to the women of the Great Chu, so it will be difficult to do many things in the future, so Song Xing has to live, use him as a shield,"

"Then..., what about Song Heng, King of Jin?" Fang Ruo couldn't help but ask.

"He can't die, I said I want to find a father for the child in my womb, he is the most suitable." Xu Jinrou's tone was resolute.

"He..., Song Heng, can you be willing? Liuren slaughter... Will you say yes? The slave still couldn't believe it. Fang Ruo's face was full of suspicion.

"Will I let Song Heng beg me and do anything for me, Liu Rentu? If he wanted to keep his own seed, he could only agree. ”

Xu Jinrou, who has lived for a lifetime, spoke confidently and confidently.

"Princess, you are really different from before, it's like a different person, the slave thinks that you are like a prophet who can not predict, everything is under your control."

Xu Jinrou shook her head with a smile and patted her stomach gently, "It's not all like that, for example, everything about this child, I can't predict it at all." ”

At this time, the eunuch of Ziyunxuan came in to report, and the crown prince Song Feng asked to see him.

Song Feng is the eldest son of the crown prince, he is fourteen years old this year, when the emperor of Great Chu and the prince of Great Chu died on the front line, the queen originally wanted to let Song Xing, the king of Zhao, be called the emperor, but Song Xing was afraid of becoming the target of the public, and he was the first to be killed by the Western barbarians, so he pushed the young Song Feng as the prince, and he was only the prince behind the scenes who controlled the government.

Because Song Feng was not yet sixteen years old, he was able to stay in Dachu without being moved, and the queen let Song Feng live in Changle Palace with the crown princess in the name of saving expenses.

Song Feng and Xu Jinrou were not close before, and they had a few words after they met, but today they suddenly came over to say goodbye, Xu Jinrou guessed that it was what she said to the crown princess Li Bilan last time that played a role.

The crown princess wanted to win her over, so as soon as she returned to the palace, she asked her son Song Feng to come over to ask for peace and show her attitude.

Xu Jinrou invited Song Feng in, this is a handsome young man, wearing a brocade robe, tied with a jade crown, and his eyes are abnormally smart, revealing a scheming that does not match his age.

Seeing Xu Jinrou, Song Feng lifted his robe, fell down and bowed, "Nephew Song Feng gave a gift to his aunt." ”

Xu Jinrou hurriedly got up and helped, "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make such a big gift, it really hurts me." ”

Song Feng stood up, his tone was sincere and respectful, "My mother said that I will be closer to my aunt in the future and support each other. ”

The crown prince was not born to the queen, and although the prince's son Song Feng became the prince, he was not liked by the queen.

Ten years later, when there was civil strife in Xiban and Da Chu had the hope of revitalizing and restoring the country, the crown princess and Princess Zhao began to fight openly and secretly for the position of crown prince.

At that time, Xu Jinrou supported Song Jian, the son of King Zhao, in order to reduce resistance and opponents, Song Feng once sent assassins to assassinate Xu Jinrou, and that time Xu Jinrou was pierced in the shoulder by a sword and almost died.

In this life, Xu Jinrou will definitely not be able to help Song Jian, but she will have her own son, Song Feng is still her opponent, looking at Song Feng, who is still a teenager in front of her, Xu Jinrou remembered his vicious methods in the previous life.

"Your mother is right, we will be closer to each other in the future, no matter what, we must help each other, I heard that the prince reads poetry and books hard, and learns his skills diligently, he will be able to take me to Dachu again one day, and my aunt is very optimistic about you." Xu Jinrou's face was full of sincerity and her words were kind.

Song Feng bowed again, "The nephew will definitely live up to the high expectations of the aunt, the aunt has no children under her knees, and the nephew will uphold filial piety in the future and regard the aunt as a close elder." ”

Xu Jinrou's face was happy and moved, and there seemed to be tears flashing between her eyes, "After listening to the prince's words, my aunt is very relieved, and I will definitely do my best to help in everything in the future." ”

Song Feng knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Auntie's affection, my nephew empathizes, thank you here." ”

Xu Jinrou got up again and hugged each other, and the closeness seemed to be undoubted.

After Song Feng sat down, he whispered: "My mother asked me to bring a message to my aunt, she said that if Princess Zhao returned to the palace, she would definitely have won the trust of Liu Rentu. ”

Xu Jinrou had a suddenly enlightened expression, "Your mother is really admirable, although she doesn't go out of the palace, she knows the world's major events, her mind is transparent, she has insight into right and wrong, and with your mother's guidance, why worry that the prince won't let me rejuvenate in the future." ”

Song Feng was overjoyed, "Thank you aunt for her auspicious words, my mother's words, I have always obeyed them, and there will be a time when that day comes." ”

After Song Feng said goodbye and left, Fang Ruo came in to report that Princess Zhao had returned to the palace, but since she entered Jinghua Palace, the palace door was closed and no one came out, so there was no way to inquire about the situation inside.

Xu Jinrou frowned slightly, what did Princess Zhao have in mind?
