"What's important?" Seeing Gonggong Chen's solemn expression, Murong Ba felt a twitch in his heart, and he faintly felt that it was definitely not a good thing.

"The old slave found out that Concubine Zhuang may have been framed by someone else and died!" Gonggong Chen thought about it and then said.

"Father-in-law, you're not joking, are you?" When he learned the news from Gonggong Chen's mouth, Murong Ba didn't feel his heart falter, and his nerves almost collapsed in an instant.

He had always thought that his mother was depressed and died because he was excluded by the concubines, but when he suddenly heard Gonggong Chen say that his mother was framed and died, the shock in Murong Ba's heart can be imagined, and Ming An on the side was also shocked when he heard it, he looked at Gonggong Chen in disbelief, and always felt that it was not very real.

Seeing Murong Ba's expression of disbelief, Gonggong Chen knew that it would be a bolt from the blue for Murong Ba to say such a news, but since he was Concubine Zhuang's most trusted minion, he felt that he couldn't hide this secret, so Gonggong Chen said sadly: "The old slave also hopes that he is joking, but unfortunately it's not!" ”

"Although Concubine Zhuang's identity is humble, the emperor does not have any prejudice against Niangniang because of Concubine Zhuang's humble identity, on the contrary, the emperor treats Concubine Zhuang Niangniang with infatuation, which is why Concubine Zhuang gave birth to three His Highnesses after giving birth to His Royal Highness."

"You go on!" Murong Ba said with the grief in his heart.

"However, because the emperor loves Concubine Zhuang too much, it has caused the dissatisfaction of many concubines, especially the dissatisfaction of the queen, so the relationship between Concubine Zhuang and the concubines is not very good."

"What does my father-in-law mean, my mother was framed by the queen?" Murong Ba stared at Gonggong Chen, his eyes revealing some unspeakable grief and pain.

As for whether it was framed by the queen, this old slave was not sure, after all, the concubine who was dissatisfied with Concubine Zhuang at that time was not the queen alone. However, after the old slave arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, he found that the clothes that Concubine Zhuang was wearing before her death happened to be the brocade of the special material of Xiangluo Country given by the queen mother, and this kind of brocade was also given to a very favored concubine by the queen mother two years ago, and the concubine died inexplicably after wearing the clothes, which once aroused everyone's suspicion of the Huanyi Bureau, so the old slave linked these two things, suspecting that Concubine Zhuang's death may have another reason! Chen Gonggong told the story.

"In this way, my father-in-law is just guessing, and as for the truth of the matter, my father-in-law is not sure!" Murong Ba stared at Gonggong Chen and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, yes!" Gonggong Chen couldn't help nodding, and then said: "Originally, the old slave didn't plan to tell His Highness about this, the old slave originally wanted to quietly find out the truth before telling His Highness, but because the old slave has not found a reliable and powerful clue, and now he sees that His Royal Highness has the intention of seizing the prince, so the old slave is worried that the queen will be unfavorable to His Highness, so he informed His Highness of these in advance, so that His Highness can keep an eye on it." ”

Knowing Gonggong Chen's hard work, Murong Ba said unconsciously: "His Royal Highness understands the kindness of his father-in-law. However, the father-in-law is in the palace, and there are many people, so you must not be overly publicized, and you must not be noticed, otherwise you are afraid that your father-in-law's life will be worried! ”

"Don't worry, prince, the old slave has been in the palace for many years, and he has some connections, and there are so many trustworthy subordinates, and the old slave believes that they will not betray the old slave. But Your Highness, if there is anything you need to tell the old slave to do, just tell the old slave directly, as long as the old slave can do it, he will do his best to do it. ”

"Thank you father-in-law for treating me so well, I, Murong Ba, are here to worship!" Hearing Gonggong Chen say so coldly, Murong Ba couldn't help but be so moved that he knelt down, seeing this, Gonggong Chen hurriedly grabbed him and said, "No, Your Highness, you want to torture the old slave." Your Highness, you are the proud son of heaven, your status is noble, and the old slave is just a slave with no tomorrow, how can you kneel down to the old slave, isn't this an insult to your noble identity! ”

"Gonggong Chen, you can't say that, if it weren't for you, my Murong Ba might have died in Huangquan a long time ago, but you saved my life." Murong Ba's eyes couldn't help but turn red as he spoke, and he still remembered what happened eleven years ago.

At that time, he was still young, because he was naughty, he played a game of hide and seek with his elder brothers, and in a hurry, he secretly ran to the forbidden place of the palace, and accidentally fell into a dry well.

I remember that it was winter, and there was still snow in the sky, and Murong Ba fell into the dry well, which was to call the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, and it didn't take long for him to freeze and shiver and faint.

Later, it was Gonggong Chen who followed the almost invisible footprints and found him in the dry well, if he hadn't been found by him back then, Murong Ba would hardly dare to imagine what would happen to him now.

In other words, what is more important in this world than saving his life, Gonggong Chen is simply his reborn parents, even if he kneels down to him, why not?

"That's the old slave's business, Your Highness has nothing to worry about, don't torture the old slave!" Gonggong Chen couldn't help but think of that incident, but he didn't care about it, he just regarded it as something within the scope of his responsibility.

Seeing Gonggong Chen like this, Murong Ba stopped insisting, and he ordered Ming Andao: "Go and pour a cup of tea for Gonggong Chen and bring some snacks." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Seeing Ming An go out, Murong Ba helped Gonggong Chen to the chair, asked him to sit down, and then said: "In my Murong Ba's heart, you are my elder, and I should respect you." ”

"Your Highness, you say so, the old slave really doesn't know what to say, the old slave in this life, no, even if he continues to be a cow and a horse for His Highness in the next life, he is willing!" Seeing this, Gonggong Chen couldn't sit still again, and he couldn't help but get up and kneel down for Murong Ba.

"Don't, Gonggong Chen, you and I don't have to be polite, there will be more places where His Highness needs your help in the future!" Seeing Murong Ba say this, Gonggong Chen sat down again.

chattered about a lot of things in the past, and Gonggong Chen and Murong Ba both sighed, lamenting that time had passed really fast, and that the world had changed so much.

Seeing that the time was not early, Gonggong Chen unconsciously got up and said goodbye: "Your Highness, it's not too early, the old slave should go back to the palace, otherwise it will not be good to arouse the suspicion of others." ”

"Grandpa Chen, wait a minute!" Murong Ba stopped Gonggong Chen as he spoke, and then gave Ming An a color, and then Ming An didn't know where to take out a package and hand it to Murong Ba.

"Grandpa Chen, this is a little bit of my heart, you can accept it." Saying that, Murong Ba changed his hand and handed the package to Gonggong Chen.

"Your Highness, what's in this package?" Gonggong Chen was not curious, he subconsciously opened it directly, but saw that it was some gold and silver treasures, so he hurriedly returned it to Murong and said: "Your Highness, the old slave came to see His Highness not to covet these gold and silver treasures, Your Highness, don't misunderstand." ”

"Gonggong Chen, His Royal Highness didn't say that you covet gold and silver treasures, so you can accept it with confidence." Murong Ba admonished.

"No, the old slave can't be accepted, Concubine Zhuang treated the old slave well, the old slave has everything today, and it all depends on the promotion of Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, the old slave is not short of silver taels in the palace, Your Highness, you still keep it yourself." Chen Gonggong couldn't help refusing.

"Gonggong Chen, don't shirk it, these silver and two books are not for you, but for you to use them to make some connections, Your Highness believes that you will definitely use them." Murong Ba knew that although Gonggong Chen was not short of money, if it was to make connections, then the money was nothing.

"This ......" Gonggong Chen still felt that if he accepted this money, it would not be good after all.

"Gonggong Chen, what His Royal Highness said is very true, I think you should accept it, after all, there are many places where you need to use silver to make a relationship, and I estimate that these may not be enough!" Ming An saw that Gonggong Chen was still hesitating, so he couldn't help but persuade.

"In that case, the old slave took it. Don't worry, Your Highness, the old slave will try his best to deal with the relationship between the top and bottom of this palace, as long as His Highness wants to know something, the old slave will definitely live up to the trust! Seeing this, Gonggong Chen tied the package and put it away.

"Well, Grandpa Chen, thank you for your hard work."

"The prince is polite, the hour is not early, the old slave has taken his leave!" After Chen Gonggong finished speaking, he was about to leave, and seeing this, Murong Ba couldn't help but instruct Ming An: "Ming An, send Chen Gonggong down, don't make people suspicious!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When he saw Gonggong Chen leave, Murong Ba's heart fluctuated and could not be calmed down for a long time. Today, the Chen Gonggong Guild suddenly visited, which surprised him, and Chen Gonggong mentioned that the queen mother was framed to death, which made him not angry.

When his mother died, he was still young, and he didn't carefully observe the cause of his mother's death.

I remember that my father did love his mother very much, but because of her humble status, my mother was often excluded by those concubines. For this reason, although the mother concubine is deeply loved, there is always a trace of sorrow between her eyebrows.

But even so, the mother concubine should not die of depression, after all, she is not alone, she also has herself and Murong Chong's two sons, I don't know how many times stronger than those palace maids in the palace who are alone in the empty room and are not favored.

Thinking about it this way, Murong Ba felt that what Gonggong Chen said might be true, if this was the case, he must find out the real culprit and avenge his mother, but after so many years, no one thinks that the death of the mother concubine was framed.

After thinking about it like this, Murong Ba decided to secretly send someone to investigate first, and then make plans once he had eyebrows, how could he say that he also wanted the person who framed the mother concubine to repay the blood debt, even if she was a high-ranking queen mother, he would not show mercy to his subordinates.
