The prince walked around anxiously, pointing at him angrily.

"Jing Yuan, as the crown prince and Taibao, still has something to say, His Royal Highness is now the prince, and he will be the king of a country in the future, you can't be so weak, you can't let a few ordinary people take care of Your Highness." Xie Jingyuan said slowly, shaking out all his inner thoughts.

Hearing this, the prince was furious, and his gentle smile on weekdays became terrifying, and he, who had never shown a tough attitude towards outsiders, turned his face at Xie Jingyuan at this time, and reprimanded him loudly: "Xie Jingyuan! You're getting bolder and bolder now! ”

stepped forward, and saw that Xie Jingyuan still straightened his waist, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his innocent appearance, and the prince's heart became even more angry.

Leaned over and asked, word by word: "What, are you tired of being the crown prince and don't want to be it?" ”

Frowning slightly, Xie Jingyuan slowly lowered his gaze to the prince's face, always feeling that today's prince was a little abnormal.

But he still has to say what he should say!

He once again expressed his loyalty without humility or arrogance: "The minister does not dare, the minister is willing to be loyal to the prince alone." ”

"Okay, since you want to show your loyalty, then Gu will order you to stop tracking down the wandering criminals in the capital."

The prince put his hands behind his back, stared at him deadly, and ordered word by word, very tough, and he was not allowed to refuse.

Xie Jingyuan immediately knelt down and said softly: "Your Highness, by all means, those people don't know who sent them, and they don't know what their purpose is?" If we are coming for His Highness, then we can also prepare earlier, and we must not stop tracking. ”

His painstaking persuasion did not make the prince Tieqing's face soothe at all, but made the prince even more angry.

Gritting his back molars, the prince said sharply: "What? Don't you want to show your loyalty? You will do whatever you are asked to do, and don't do what you don't do! ”

turned his back, and the prince simply stopped looking at him and left his back alone.

Seeing the prince's resolute attitude, Xie Jingyuan raised his head and looked at his back, and finally could only kowtow helplessly: "The minister obeys orders." ”

Still with his back to him, the prince remained motionless.

After Xie Jingyuan received the order, he saluted the prince again, got up and walked out.

After the footsteps behind her were completely inaudible, the people in the inner room slowly walked out, and the prince hurriedly got up to greet her and helped her sit down.

He was puzzled: "Queen Mother, why don't you let Erchen continue to investigate?" What is the purpose of those people, but we don't know yet? ”

The person hiding in the inner room is the current queen! The Prince's biological mother!

"If you let Xie Jingyuan investigate it again, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the court." The queen sighed in a low voice, shook the prince's hand and said, "Child, the queen mother is doing this for your own good." ”

Gently bowing his head, the prince said, "Erchen knows." ”

The queen was satisfied with the tea on the side and took a sip gently.

After a moment of silence, the prince lowered his head and whispered: "However, Jing Yuan has always been loyal to Erchen, the two of us have grown up together since childhood, and Erchen doesn't want to lose such a good friend." ”

Putting down the teacup, the queen looked at him dissatisfied.

"You're so confused! Affection is the most useless thing for a king, not to mention that you are just a king! ”

The last two words rippled in the prince's heart, and he looked at the queen in confusion.

Sighing, the queen shook her head and said, "You, you can't be too emotional." If Xie Jingyuan has a softer personality or a mediocre ability, he can be your best help, but unfortunately, Xie Jingyuan has neither. ”

"Isn't it okay to be excellent?" The prince was puzzled.

Looking into the distance, the queen's tone was full of jealousy and pity: "A person like him will definitely not be willing to stay in your hands for a lifetime, it's really too difficult to grasp." ”

For Xie Jingyuan's talent, the queen recognized it very much, and it was precisely because of the recognition that she would be a little more worried, and she had to think one more step.

After all, everyone's thirst for power should not be underestimated!

When the prince heard this, his eyes darkened.

***

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the Taishi Mansion, Ning Shuyao was kneeling in the ancestral hall, the night was dim, only two candles on the incense table were left, and after she glanced at no one around, her body went soft and the whole person lay on the ground.

"Damn, when I go out, I will definitely make you look good."

She gritted her teeth and said viciously.

The candlelight in the ancestral hall flickered, and Ning Shuyao was so shocked that she quickly straightened up and knelt obediently.

Behind him, there was a "squeak-" sound, the door of the ancestral hall was opened, Ning Shuyao twisted her thigh, and instantly turned her head with teary eyes, and Mrs. Ning slowly walked in with the support of her grandmother.

"Mother, my knees hurt so much."

Ning Shuyao pitifully showed her swollen knees, trying to avoid this punishment.

Passing by her directly and walking to the incense case, Mrs. Ning knelt respectfully in front of the futon, silently offering incense, seeing this, Ning Shuyao was aggrieved and didn't dare to say anything, so she could only wait for her to finish the incense.

Slowly inserting the incense, Mrs. Ning looked at her.

"Mother......" Ning Shuyao said coquettishly with a crying voice.

Mrs. Ning scolded coldly: "Kneel well." ”

The cold two words made Ning Shuyao, who was about to get up by being coquettish, forced to kneel down again, and she was even more aggrieved, obviously as long as she shouted a little pain on weekdays, Mrs. Ning would let her go.

As a result, it didn't work today, and it must have been Hotaru Moon who secretly said something.

Ning Shuyao thought so, and hated Yingyue in her heart.

"Ning Shuyao, you really disappointed me, again and again, you see for yourself what you have done." Mrs. Ning shook her head in disappointment and said: "In the past, I spoiled you, indulged you, and made you willful, it doesn't matter, but you shouldn't cheat!" Still in the name of your sister. ”

"What sister? She is just a concubine, and it is her blessing to be able to be favored by me and used by me. When Ning Shuyao heard this, she raised her head and retorted unconvinced.

Mrs. Ning was angry and said sharply, "What did you say? Again, I can't teach you, can I? ”

"I said I was right! If it weren't for the fact that Firefly keeps running here all year round, I wouldn't be so unlucky, and all the black material has been picked up. ”

Ning Shuyao put all the fault on Yingyue's head, and her expression seemed to be so hateful that she was going to pick her skin and drink her blood.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ning knew that if she didn't discipline Ning Shuyao well today, she was afraid that she would go further and further in the future!

"Okay, you're so good, don't you dare to talk back? Raise your hands. Mrs. Ning turned her head to Mama and continued: "Mama, go and bring me the ring ruler, if I don't teach you well today, I will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors." ”

"Mother, are you going to beat me for an outsider?"
