A Rui's tone was not hurried, but the meaning of the words made people feel chills down their spines.

But at this moment, Xiao Min, who was leaning on the low couch by the window, listening to Ah Rui's eloquent words, and analyzing the various forces that were seizing the heir at the moment, ignored the thrilling in Ah Rui's words, and instead floated a smile on his lips. His face was as cold as frost and snow, but his smile was as breathtaking as the autumn moon.

Even Ah Rui, who was opposite him every day, couldn't help but pause when he saw the words in his mouth. She finally understood why there were so many noble ladies at the plum banquet set up by the queen's mother to fight for His Royal Highness the Prince.

But what Ah Rui didn't know was that the young man who admired her in Beijing was no less than the little girl who loved His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even jealous because of her affairs.

Xiao Min likes Ah Rui's appearance of winning and guiding the country, and he likes her to be so radiant by his side. Even seeing her stop, Xiao Min couldn't help but urge, "So what? Aaron, you go on. ”

Ah Rui settled down before she said again, "However, according to what I have seen and heard in the harem these days, Concubine Gu's mother and son may not know about this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Rui's eyes were even a little incredulous, she had been in contact with smart people from the boudoir, and it was the first time she had seen such a conceited and stupid person.

With a chuckle, Xiao Min asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, do you guess why my father chose her among the many noble girls?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Ruier turned his head and looked at Xiao Min, his eyes full of disbelief. After a long time, Ah Rui sighed again, "The first emperor chose his mother as the princess Yu of the year, but he was really far-sighted. If King Yu is really allowed to ascend the throne, I am afraid that his three or five years of hard work will be able to squander the family wealth accumulated by the two dynasties. “

The two glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of incomprehension of His Majesty and Concubine Gu's mother and son.

Suddenly remembered what the queen mother said when she entered the palace today, A Rui said casually, "Qingyan, when I entered the palace today, the queen mother chatted with me about things in the Changchun Palace. said that His Royal Highness King Yu can't see His Majesty now, and Concubine Gu is so anxious that she will desperately speak for His Royal Highness King Yu in front of His Majesty.

However, His Majesty doesn't seem to like to hear this, since Gu Concubine said it once, he doesn't like to go to Changchun Palace, and he has been lingering with a few young concubines recently. This made Gu Concubine anxious. According to the palace maids in her palace, Concubine Gu sometimes cursed His Majesty late at night, resenting His Majesty's refusal to save it. ”

Hearing this, a light of unknown meaning flashed in Xiao Min's eyes, but his tone was quite leisurely, and he was not in a hurry at all, "It's okay, let them make trouble."

Now in the harem, Xu Zhaorong has become the head of the nine concubines Zhaoyi, and he also unites with Liu Zhaorong, who also has a prince under his knees. The rest of the nine concubines were all led by the two of them, but they also integrated a little power.

Therefore, at present, in this harem, there is a faint trend of the three forces of the queen, Gu Concubine and the nine concubines fighting against each other.

For so many years, His Royal Highness Concubine Gu and King Yu have been able to compete with Empress Wen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not because of how smart and powerful they are, but because of His Majesty's bias and acquiescence.

Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen are very curious, now that His Majesty has obviously separated from Gu Concubine's mother and son, how can Gu Concubine's mother and son win back a game? The husband and wife understood each other's meaning in their eyes, and the two raised the teacup at the same time across the desk and touched each other in the air.

In this way, more than half a month passed, His Majesty suddenly ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the court to listen to the government, and the people in the harem suddenly realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not entered the court for nearly two months, but they never felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had really stayed away from the court.

On the eve of entering the dynasty, Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen enjoyed the flowers in the lake pavilion in Yichun Garden.

The moon shines like a practice, pouring over the surface of the lake, shining with cool waves. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers are swaying, and the fragrance is sent into the pavilion by the evening breeze with water vapor. There are several enamel colored glass lamps hanging in the pavilion in the center of the lake, which is full of light.

The two sat side by side on a low couch, and before they knew it, Lu Bingzhen had half-shrunk into Xiao Min's arms. It seems that in the past few days after the quarrel and reconciliation, the relationship between the two has been better.

Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen didn't speak, they just looked at each other quietly, and their affection was in each other's eyes. Under the moonlight, both of them have unconventional appearances, and they are really immortals.

When Lu Bingzhen began to be so sleepy that he half-closed his eyes, Xiao Min hugged her with a slight force in his arms. Lu Bingzhen stuck to Xiao Min's arms, listening to his heartbeat, and was in a trance for a moment in ignorance. It turns out that since then, she has trusted him so much, and they will go on like this for the rest of their lives.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the court, Lu Bingzhen's life has become to go to Queen Wen in the morning to say goodbye, and by the way, accompany Queen Wen to talk for a while. Then, with all kinds of treasures and supplements rewarded by Queen Wen, he returned to the East Palace to have lunch with Xiao Min, and after a half-hour rest, the two discussed with the officials and staff of the East Palace.

I don't know what Xiao Min did in private, or the pressure from Fan Yanglu's family, or both. In short, these people honestly don't dare to play any tricks in front of Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen now.

Today, for some reason, Lu Bingzhen, who was accompanying Queen Wen in the harem, frequently wandered, and Xu Zhaoyi, who had been quite favored recently, laughed and said, "What is Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess thinking?" Let the concubine think about it, isn't she thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince, who went to the court. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen smiled and said, "Xu Zhaorong teased me again, I just thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and I didn't know what kind of gifts to give to the ladies of the palace." This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival since I got married, so I can't be sloppy. ”

Xu Zhaoyi originally said casually, where would Lu Bingzhen be embarrassed by relentlessly. In other words, except for Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince's biological mother, Empress Wen, and Toutie's Gu Concubine, no one dared to embarrass Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was from a very high background.

A few little concubines who came to greet Queen Wen and stayed here to talk to Queen Wen immediately discussed all kinds of fashionable snacks and silks.

When the concubines were all dispersed, Empress Wen originally planned to leave Lu Bingzhen to talk about herself for a while, but she didn't expect Zhu Persimmon to walk in in a hurry, and said with a not very good face, "The queen mother, Your Royal Highness the crown princess, it's not good, Your Majesty fainted above the court." ”

What! Empress Wen and Lu Bingzhen were both shocked.

Empress Wen has experienced so many years of wind and waves, and she immediately calmed down, perhaps because she was already completely disappointed in His Majesty and didn't care about him at all.

"Zhu Persimmon, you make it clear, what's wrong with Your Majesty now?" Wen Empress asked sharply.

"Back to Niangniang, when I was discussing in the court early this morning, someone at the bottom mentioned the matter of Gu Concubine and His Royal Highness King Yu, saying that the king of Rongde County had nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Yu, and asked His Majesty to lift the grounding of His Royal Highness King Yu. His Majesty only said that he would discuss it later, but he didn't expect that several ministers related to the Gu family would mention this matter.

His Majesty was furious and rebuked them, and fainted. ”

Empress Wen immediately decided, "Please ask all the doctors in the Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat Your Majesty, and then please invite the presiding officer of the Heavenly Buddha Temple to enter the palace to pray for Your Majesty." Since His Majesty's fainting is related to Concubine Gu's mother and son, he ordered these two to go to Zongzheng Temple to be grounded and think about it, and pray for His Majesty to kneel down and pray for blessings. The ministers who persuaded His Majesty to forgive His Royal Highness King Yu were also imprisoned. ”

When Zhu Persimmon heard the words and was about to leave, he heard Lu Bingzhen add, "At present, martial law is required inside and outside the palace, and a few more people will be assigned to protect Gu Concubine and His Royal Highness King Yu, and there will be no loss." ”

After Zhu Persimmon took the order and left, Queen Wen and Lu Bingzhen sat opposite each other, both of them frowning. Empress Wen said slowly, "This incident happened in the court, and it can't be hidden." I only hope that Your Majesty can wake up quickly so that the situation can be stabilized. Ah Rui, you go back to the East Palace now, don't leave the East Palace at will. ”

"Mother, how can this be? You are left alone in the harem, and Qingyan and I are not at ease. If you find it inconvenient to go to the East Palace, I will stay with you. There was another sentence that Lu Bingzhen did not say. That is, it is difficult to distinguish the hearts of the people in the harem now, and under the coma of His Majesty, everyone has their own thoughts, just afraid that if they accidentally hurt Queen Wen.

In Lu Bingzhen's heart, Queen Wen is not only her mother-in-law and Qingyan's mother, but also an open-minded harem master and the mother of a country. Lu Bingzhen didn't want to see Queen Wen hurt no matter what.

Hearing this, Queen Wen patted Lu Bingzhen's hand with relief, "Good boy, this palace didn't mistake you." However, His Majesty is in a coma and the queen of the palace is naturally going to serve the sick. Go ahead, Rui, Min'er must have thought so too. ”

In the end, Lu Bingzhen led Zhu Persimmon and Snow Tea to leave Queen Wen's palace and looked back frequently. As soon as she turned around, Lu Bingzhen could see Queen Wen seeing them leave, her heart was so sour that she couldn't understand why such a good person as Queen Wen had to go through this. The husband who supported each other at a young age empathized with each other, and this husband even wanted to kill his own children.

His Majesty's coma also exploded in the former court, and many courtiers were talking about it in private. However, because no one knows what His Majesty's current situation is, all forces are impatient.

After all, His Majesty is not a benevolent person. If Your Majesty wakes up and sees them fearing that the world will not be chaotic, I am afraid that the lives of their whole family will be filled in.

In the most hidden restaurants in the capital, courtiers gathered in twos and threes to discuss the affairs of today's court. Many powerful people also came to visit their homes in secret. Everyone knows that the sky in this capital is about to change.

The most striking thing is the queen mother's maiden family, and now the other princes are still young, and the only ones who have the strength to compete for the throne are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Yu. Empress Wen's maiden family, the Wen family, and Her Royal Highness's royal highness, the Fan Yang Lu family, are of course ironclad princelings, and the Gu family is undoubtedly the Yuwang party.

What may affect His Majesty's views and the situation in the harem is the Empress Dowager, who has been hiding from the world for many years and has a high reputation.

At this moment, among the Empress Dowager's maiden family, there are indeed three or five courtiers gathered, discussing today's court affairs.
