"As a human king, it is good for the emperor to read these books." Zhen Huan straightened her back slightly, smiling, "The mourning family is thinking about something these days, and since the emperor mentioned it today, let's talk about it together." She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, and said coldly, "Hongzhao is the youngest son of the mourning family, he was once discussed by the courtiers, and the emperor is the son of the mourning family. Therefore, the mourning family wants to ask the emperor to agree to let Hongzhao enter the line of Prince Guo. ”

Zhen Huan couldn't see the emperor's thoughts, and An Lingrong on the side naturally saw it clearly, she was shocked and angry: "Emperor, you have three princes under your knees, and two heirs in one breath ......"

"It's enough for Eniang to have a son, and when Hongzhao grows up, his son will let him enjoy the princely throne and a glorious life like the seventeenth emperor uncle." The emperor smiled and said sincerely, "E-Niang thinks about her son in everything, and her son is grateful, only by raising her in the world can she repay E-niang's kindness for raising and supporting." ”

"Between you and me, mother and son, there is no need to say this." Zhen Huan wore a flawless smile to hide the loneliness under her eyes. She also sincerely regarded Hongli as her own, but now, she has ended up in such a field, "The emperor is busy with affairs, so go back to the Heart Palace as soon as possible." ”

The emperor got up: "Then the son will retire first, and then go to Shoukang Palace to say goodbye to Eniang another day." In the end, he cared about the queen a few words thoughtfully, and knocked with An Lingrong before leaving.

The dormitory was so quiet that you could hear a needle dropping.

The queen had the heart to defend the emperor a few words, but she was afraid of hurting Zhen Huan's heart, and she didn't know where to start, just when she was hesitant and worried, Li Yu went and returned: "The emperor asked the slave to tell the queen mother that the princess's mansion has been built, and Princess Haoyue can move in today, and the emperor also gave the word Duanshu as the princess's honorific title, and asked the queen mother to arrange for the princess to leave the palace as soon as possible." With that, he stood there with his hands bowed, waiting for an answer.

"Okay, the mourning family knows." Zhen Huan's face was cold, and her eyes were covered with thick frost that could not be dissolved.

Only then did Li Yu retreat.

"E-Niang ......"

"The queen has a good rest, the mourning family will go back first." Zhen Huan didn't look at the queen again, got up and left.

The queen was a little uneasy, she looked at An Lingrong, and asked worriedly: "Huang Eniang, is Eniang angry?" ”

"It's not so much angry as it's sad." An Lingrong sighed abruptly, and closed his eyes a little reluctantly, "The emperor is not the biological child of the Queen Mother, you should know this, right?" Seeing the queen nodded, she said again, "If there is no emperor, the queen mother may not be able to have today's glory, but if there is no queen mother, I am afraid that the position of the lord of the world will not be the emperor's turn to sit. It is precisely because the Queen Mother knows this that she regards the emperor as her own, and she puts him first in everything, but the emperor ...... You also saw how he repaid the Queen Mother, and the mourners said that he was ungrateful and light. ”

The queen lowered her head and did not speak, and she was irrefutable as it was.

"It was also the mourning family who looked away back then." An Lingrong let out a long breath of turbidity, and her momentum was instantly sluggish, she reached out to hold the queen's hand, and looked at her distressedly, "It's just that I'm suffering you, the queen, I have to ask you to bother to remind the emperor in the future, the former dynasty and the harem, the mourning family and the queen mother will not interfere again, so that the emperor can rest assured, and the mourning family and the queen mother can also rest assured." ”

"The ministers will definitely persuade the emperor well, and I hope that the emperor and his mother will take care of themselves." The queen nodded, and said very solemnly, she only felt that she had taken over a heavy burden from An Lingrong's hands, but she didn't see the guilt that flashed in An Lingrong's eyes.

The queen is kind and gentle, if it is not to the point where there is no way out, An Lingrong does not want to use her.

Leaving Changchun Palace, An Lingrong sat in a soft sedan chair all the way to Shoukang Palace, and when he arrived, Haoyue stood under the corridor, and was methodically directing the palace people to move things. ”

"Haoyue, are you ready?" An Lingrong stretched out his hand to help her up, and asked with a smile.

Haoyue nodded: "It's all ready, E-niang picked a few experienced grandmothers to accompany me out of the palace, and gave me Gonggong Yun." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, let Sister Zisu and Sister Bai Zhi accompany you out of the palace, and after leaving the palace, go to your Aunt Cuiyin, and let her enter the princess's mansion to take charge of your house, you just hold the princess's shelf, don't be wronged." An Lingrong instructed carefully again, and said for a while before entering the side hall.

Zhen Huan was standing inside feeding the parrots, and when she saw An Lingrong coming in, she only asked with a faint face: "The queen said it all?" ”

"Well, that bamboo branch is obviously the emperor's person, and when I say those words, she can't wait to put her ears to my mouth to listen." An Lingrong walked to the couch and sat down, took a sip of tea, recalled the scene in Changchun Palace just now, and couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, "She still thought she was hiding well, but she was young, and the queen didn't even find out that she was wrong." ”

Zhen Huan hooked the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't laugh: "Shu Yao is a good boy." ”

Speaking of this, An Lingrong also smiled slightly.

The silence in the hall was a little suffocating, and the busy voices outside the window came in, cutting time into two different worlds, Zhen Huan looked at Haoyue in the courtyard from afar, and said in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor Wen's medicine has been used, and I have already arranged it here, and there is only one Lingxi left by my side, I can always take care of it, what about you?" What about Roujia and Rouyi? They're still so young. ”

"I plan to send them to Ningshou Palace, Huaishu is married, Hongyi has been awarded Baylor, and the palace has been built, the noble concubine and the Xingui concubine are lonely under their knees, Roujia and Rouyi are just raised by them, and there are a few of them in Shun Taifei Fu, the emperor will not ignore the etiquette and human ethics in vain, and do something to the concubines of the first emperor, right?" An Lingrong pretended to be relaxed and said, but there was a dark mist under his eyes that could not be dissolved, "Sister, will we be retributed if we do this?" ”

"Retribution?" Zhen Huan's sneer was light and empty, and before she could speak, she turned into a sigh, "If you don't do this, I'm just afraid that before retribution comes, my life will be gone." Rong'er, we tried our best to send him to the supreme position, but in the end, we couldn't even guarantee the stability of the rest of our lives, and you have seen the emperor's attitude today. She seemed to choke up for a moment, "Why don't I want to get along with him?" Even if it's just on the face, but he's pressing forward step by step, if we hadn't deployed in advance, I'd have been cornered today. ”

"Yes, no matter how anxious he is, he shouldn't mention these things now, his sister-in-law has just been born." An Lingrong muttered and said, "Yurao has always loved Yang'er, he won't have any worries when he enters the palace of Shenjun County, but Hongzhao, I heard that Prince Guo's Jifujin is not a good-natured person, will he embarrass Hongzhao?" ”

"She didn't dare. The heir of the prince is equivalent to the holy order of the Son of Heaven, unless she does not want to die. Zhen Huan said firmly, after speaking, she lowered her eyes to hide the wetness under her eyes, "Rong'er, Hongzhao is growing up now, and he looks more and more like him, if he can recognize it, he will definitely keep Hongzhao safe, and it can be regarded as fulfilling their father-son fate." ”

An Lingrong nodded silently.

In fact, after the incident in Haoyue, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan began to prepare, and the first thing was the question of the children's stay.

Zhen Huan has two sons and two daughters, Haoyue has finalized the temporary residence in the princess's mansion, and she can rest assured before she is married, Hongyang is young, and it is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing to be raised by Shenjun Wang and his wife, Zhen Yurao received Zhen Huan's letter before letting Shenjun Wang write to the emperor, and Hongzhao, Zhen Huan originally wanted to keep him by his side for a few more years, but he didn't expect the emperor to force it so tightly, so he simply said it together.

In addition to the two princesses of Roujia and Rouyi, An Lingrong only had Honghao left, and Honghao was once the first emperor's candidate for the crown prince, and the emperor couldn't even tolerate Hongzhao, let alone Honghao.

After the Lantern Festival, the weather did not warm up at all, the ice and snow melted, but it became colder and colder, the residual snow was swept away by the palace people little by little, revealing the gray masonry, the spring rain did not come, and the air in the Forbidden City slowly dried up.

On this night, the Cining Palace was on fire, burning the night into a blazing bright red.

"It's out of the water! It's out of the water—"

"Cining Palace is out of the water—come and put out the fire—"

"Queen Mother, you can't go in......"

“……”

The lights were lit in the Weiyang Palace, and the emperor hurriedly walked out in his robe: "Li Yu, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Cining Palace has gone to water, and the Queen Mother has been rescued, but Ruibeizi is still trapped inside." Li Yu said while waiting for the emperor to change his clothes, "The fire is too big, and it won't be extinguished for a while, but the guards don't dare to risk death to rush in, and the queen mother is thinking about rushing in by herself......"

"Bastard thing!" The emperor was only half angry when he heard it, he wanted to get rid of Honghao, but he couldn't lose An Lingrong's life because of this, wouldn't the people of the world accuse him of being disloyal and unfilial? Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned black and charred, "Go and tell the guards on duty today that if you can't save Rui Beizi, I will cut off their heads tomorrow!" If the Queen Mother is injured because of this, I will plant them in the nine clans! ”

Li Yu's scalp tightened: "Yes, the slave will go immediately." ”

Jia Concubine was taken aback, and hurriedly came forward to persuade: "The emperor's anger is all the fault of the slaves under him who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

The emperor suddenly raised his head and glared at her, shook off her hand, and left Weiyang Palace without looking back.

Jia Concubine stumbled and almost fell, she was a little aggrieved and a little innocent, looking at the back of the emperor leaving angrily, she reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly relented: "The emperor ......" However, only the emperor's indifferent back answered her.

The fire burned all night, and the emperor also sat in the heart hall all night.

Li Yu guarded in Cining Palace, and did not come back until dawn: "The main hall and side hall of Cining Palace have been burned clean, fortunately, Princess Roujia and Princess Rouyi have been in Ningshou Palace for the past few days, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to save it last night, and Rui Beizi's east side hall is almost burned, fortunately, Rui Beizi is smart, he wet the quilt and covered his body, and the guards just fainted when he rescued him, unharmed......"

"Unscathed?" The emperor's face twitched fiercely, and his eyes were gloomy for a moment.

Li Yu didn't seem to notice it, and continued: "Yes, but after the diagnosis of Imperial Physician Qi, he said that Rui Beizi was stuffy in the fire for too long, inhaled a lot of smoke, and his nerves were damaged, and his intelligence was probably stuck at the age of five forever......" His voice gradually lowered, "After the Queen Mother knew, she almost fainted from crying, and now everyone is in Shoukang Palace, can the emperor go over and have a look?" ”

"You mean, Rui Beizi is stupid?" The gloomy owl on the emperor's face had not yet faded, and the sudden joy appeared and distorted into a strange smile, "Okay, good...... He laughed in a low voice, and then straightened his face and said, "Go to Shoukang Palace to pass the decree and give Rui Beizi the ...... of Baylor"

"Baylor?" An Lingrong pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, raised his empty eyes and looked at Li Yu, "Does the emperor think that just one Baylor is enough to compensate for Honghao's suffering?" She said very calmly, but it inexplicably made people tremble in the bottom of their hearts.

Li Yu swallowed his saliva and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at An Lingrong's eyes.

An Lingrong took a deep breath: "Get out." ”

Li Yu raised his head and looked at An Lingrong in some surprise.

An Lingrong gritted his teeth and repeated word by word: "Get out, the mourning family doesn't want to see Hongli again in their lives." She slammed the medicine bowl in her hand at Li Yu's feet, and shouted, "Get out!" ”

Li Yu was startled, and he continued to say yes, and walked away.

An Lingrong burst into tears: "Sister, he can't tolerate Honghao so much......" She covered her face with her hands and said bitterly, "I thought he would be poisoned, so I guarded day and night, and paid attention to the things at the entrance, but I didn't expect that Hongli didn't even want to leave the whole corpse to Honghao, he was going to break the bones and scatter ashes." ”

Zhen Huan stood beside her quietly, looking at Honghao who had not yet woken up, with a cold face: "Yes, until now, he has refused to even come over to see Honghao, I didn't know that he was ruthless to such a situation." She closed her eyes, and suddenly remembered the sensible and obedient appearance of the emperor when he was by her side, and did not understand why he became what he is now, the imperial power and wealth, can he really charm people's minds to such a point?

Now that all the threats have been eliminated by him, it should be reassuring, right?

Zhen Huan listened to the cold wind whistling outside the window, accompanied by An Lingrong's low-cut sobs, a biting chill slowly and slowly penetrated in from all directions, freezing her whole person.

The spring of this year came very late, until May, the wind was slightly cool, just like the winter can not be over, the emperor violated the orders of the first emperor, removed Zhang Tingyu and others of the auxiliary power, and then set up the military aircraft department, Zhang Tingyu, Ortai, Neqin, Haiwang and others as the minister of military aircraft, to collect the imperial power, for a time the government and the opposition criticized, the ministers quarreled.

And just when the relationship between the monarch and the minister was extremely tense, a natural disaster quietly came.
