Chapter Forty-Eight: Becoming a Prince
"If the front hooves fall into the ground, there will be hind feet," the Queen Mother stared at the icicles on the ground of the hall with a heavy face, "The thieves will never stop there, Wen Guard," she pointed to the icicles and exhaled with a vicious breath, "Do you know where this is coming from?"
Wentu was just about to speak, Jing Zi stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, let's take someone to the Yueda Inn, and catch the heinous traitor and ask him!" Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Queen Mother didn't allow it immediately, she slowly sat down and picked up the Buddha beads and began to play with them, and made a low and crisp jade bead bumping sound, "The wicked are so aggressive, carefully arranged, and very weird, how can they be defenseless?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked up at Wentu again.
"Back to the Empress Dowager," Wentu replied cautiously, bowing his head. The thief put the poison in the altar, and then placed the icicle at the bottleneck, calculated the length of time to choose its length of hardness, and then sprinkled spices on the icicle, so the cuiying could not be detected, and in the middle of the night, the icicle melted into water, accompanied by the spices falling into the poison, presumably the poison was all in the northern cold land, and the water naturally emitted a faint poisonous gas, and at this time there was only the queen mother in the hall, and the poison could not be smelled with the passage of time, and the cuiying could not find the clues when he took it away. As he spoke, Wentu leaned over and picked up the icicle, which was less than three inches long but extremely hard, he naturally knew that there was no refrigeration equipment here, and it was not yet freezing weather, thinking of the encounter with Fu Rou that day, he was confident, and muttered, "Fortunately, I know the origin of this icicle......
Fu Rou unconsciously lowered her head, knowing that there was indeed a hijacking that day.
The Queen Mother let out a low voice of surprise and immediately ordered: "Tell me quickly!"
"This kind of icicle comes from an extremely cold palm method, where it is turned into ice when it encounters water, it is easy to make icicles, the length and hardness are arbitrary, and after repeated trials, you will know the melting time," Wentu did not dare to mention that Fu Rou was almost hijacked, so as not to attract speculation, "And the humble position once fought with this person, and he was almost injured, this person is about thirty years old, with a long and narrow body, and a fair face," Wentu was very impressed by Bink, and saw the Buddha beads in the Queen Mother's hand at a glance as he described it," I saw with my own eyes that this person was also wearing a string of Buddhist beads on his left wrist, which was exactly the same as the Buddha beads in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the red sandalwood was sandwiched with green ......"
The Queen Mother panicked, the Buddha beads in her hand almost landed, and then closed her eyes, raised her hand and signaled Wentu not to say any more, the palace was poisoned, how could it be a mortal? Her hands began to tremble, and she remembered the scene of Gongzi Bin leaving the palace again: twelve years ago, Gongzi Bin was eighteen years old, and the Queen Mother saw through the trick of poisoning the prince Nirvana on the spot, and forcibly expelled him from the palace......
After a while, the Queen Mother opened her eyes in contemplation, drank the maids in the hall, looked at Jing Zi and said with difficulty: "Jing Zi, do you know who the assassin is?"
Jing Zi shook his head in horror and said, "Ignorant and ignorant, I can't guess." ”
"He, he's King Bin!"
"Queen Mother," Jing Zi's eyes widened, her face was pale with horror, and she quickly shook her head and said, "The Queen Mother is too worried, how can King Bin be, how can it be ......?"
The Queen Mother staggered and stood up, and Fu Rou hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The eldest king forced the palace, the emperor disappeared, the child harmed the mother, this series of blows made the old queen mother crumbling, no matter how strong a woman is, she will be in pain, look at the three people in the palace, the queen mother finally spoke: " The mourning family accompanied the first emperor to lay down this country, and fought hard all his life to plan, after all, in exchange for this peaceful world, haha, you look at the three emperors of the mourning family, how promising, did not ascend the throne, tried his best to be the emperor, Bin'er in order to eliminate the prince, assassination, poisoning, helpless by the mourning family to drive out of the palace, and now turn back to poison his own mother; !”
As soon as she said this, Fu Rou lost control and collapsed in despair! All this is like a dream, the dignified King Pan is actually the enemy who killed his father, but in turn he instigated Dongtu to assassinate the emperor! The queen mother thought that Fu Rou was saddened by hearing her words, so she deeply helped Fu Rou up, and then said: "Look at this person who became the emperor, for the sake of a femme fatale, wants to resign from the throne, but is miserably calculated, and his whereabouts ......are unknown." The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and the Queen Mother's body trembled.
"The Queen Mother is angry......" Jing Zi and Wentu said in unison.
The Queen Mother asked Jing Zi, "Isn't the old Taoist still out of the customs?"
Jing Zi couldn't help but nod and replied: "Yes, once you know the master's intentions, you will come to Guangci Hall on the day you leave the customs." ”
The Queen Mother remembered Master Yizhi's words again, looked at Wentu sadly, thought for a moment and asked lightly: "Now that the twins are in trouble, the emperor is unknown, and the mourning family is exhausted, do you still have an idea?"
Wen Tu is full, naturally difficult, righteous words: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has not returned to the palace for the time being, in order to prevent incidents, it is better to respond to the will of King Pan, even if it is an auxiliary minister, when he first takes office, it will not disturb the court, and it is also regarded as a delaying strategy......;
"What?!" Jing Zi's cheeks bulged out, and he couldn't fight in one place, "This is the son of disobedience!"
The Queen Mother's brows tightened, and she let go after a while, "Tell me why?" and then picked up the Buddha beads again, "Aren't you afraid that he will harm the mourning family again?"
"If you want to control his body, he must come to his people," Wentu said in a round voice, "I think that the prince of Bin is so exhausted, it is not just to harm the queen mother, in that case, it is to dig his own grave and take it back to the palace, not only does he not dare to make a time, set himself on fire, but can contain King Pan, strive for some opportunities, the two fight with each other, and there is no chance to harm the queen mother and the emperor, and the mother can wait for the emperor to return safely......"
Fu Rou couldn't help but glance at Wentu, and the five-flavor bottles in her heart scattered in all directions, and this person looked at it carefully, but it was a little pleasing to the eye.
The Queen Mother began to stare and think, and the speed of the Buddha beads in her hand also sped up a little, and she suddenly stopped and stood up for a while, the fortitude on her face burst out again, and her eyes flashed with a compelling light again, and she shouted: "Drive Pan Wangfu!"
............
In the palace of King Pan, the song and swallow dance and laughter, several concubines have nothing to do and make trouble with each other, the whole palace inner hall will come out from time to time screams, King Pan has changed his old appearance, sitting in the middle stupidly, one is waiting for the news of the queen mother, the other is coming back from the Guangci Palace, the soul is not guarded, the mind is uncertain, all for the palace maid, as soon as I think of the budding pretty appearance, I will be in turmoil, and I secretly made up my mind that I must get this little girl.
On the inner side wall of the courtyard gate, four boys gathered around Concubine Ya, you say a word, I say a word, you can't talk about it. Compared with her own mother, this new mother concubine does not have so much time to paint makeup, and never participates in the drama between the concubines, as long as she is free, she plays with the little princes.
"Mother, what do you want to do when you grow up?" asked a little prince of seven or eight years old.
Yashu tilted her head and thought about it, she only had one purpose, to find Zhuo Ji to settle down well, she had already passed the freshness in Pan Wangfu, seeing that the prince began to go out to look for flowers and willows again, although the four concubines did not dare to humiliate themselves again, but they regarded themselves as if they did not exist, this palace was like an ice cellar, without the slightest human breath, thinking of this, she said: "The mother concubine has grown up, and when she grows up, she wants to take you out to cultivate land and grow grain, and be as rich and clothed as the people of the world, and work for yourself." ”
"But we are princes, can we go to farm?"
At this time, the Queen Mother, who was just about to enter King Pan's Mansion, suddenly stopped, waved her hand to signal Jing Zi, Wentu and Fu Rou to stop, she heard this ingenious discussion, and focused on it.
"Why can't you, isn't the imperial grandfather also from farming?" Yashu looked at the little prince solemnly.
"However, the concubine said that when we grow up, we may become the crown prince!"
The Queen Mother outside the door was shocked, her lips trembled slightly, and her face suddenly turned purple, Fu Rou hurriedly held it, Jing Zi was already so frightened that her forehead sweated, and she was just about to rush in, but was stopped by the Queen Mother again.
"Nonsense!" Concubine Ya shouted angrily at the prince, "You don't even know how to cultivate the land, what do you want the prince? This prince is the emperor's child, not to sit if you want to do it," said Yafei thoughtfully, not knowing whether to talk to herself or persuade the child, "No matter what you do, you must first know how to be a man." ”
"However, the imperial uncle does not have a prince. The other little prince asked confusedly.
"What's wrong without the crown prince? Your imperial uncle is still the emperor, a good emperor, he will say who is the crown prince and who is the crown prince, don't even think about it, otherwise the imperial grandmother will know and will have to cut off your tongue!"
"Mother, is it true that my father is the emperor, and we are all princes?"
Concubine Ya sighed sadly, looked at the little prince with a solemn face, and the four children immediately fell silent, and she said slowly: "Your father is not worthy of being the emperor, and he will never be the emperor!"
Wentu was deeply sorry when she heard this, why did such a girl who knew righteousness and was not afraid of life and death marry King Pan?!
The Queen Mother was just about to raise her feet, when she heard a shout and stopped again.
"Yo-" Concubine Yang in the palace walked out, and when she saw the children surrounding Yashu again, she immediately became jealous, and raised her hand to call her children over, "Ting'er, come here!"
The little prince ran to Concubine Yang very reluctantly, and Concubine Yang taught her a fierce lesson: "How many times have I told you, don't be with that village woman!" She deliberately raised the voice of the village woman to show provocation, but Yashu in the distance ignored it.
"The fifth concubine mother can tell us what we want to do when we grow up, so that we are not like you, scolding children every day!"
"What can you do?" said Concubine Yang stared at her prince fiercely.
"I want to plow the land!" said Prince Ting.
"Haha, the village woman is the village woman, she dares to teach my son to do that kind of obscene deed, look at me......" As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a few people appear in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw that the soul was scattered, and it was the queen mother who stood in front!
"Queen Mother......" Concubine Yang just shouted out her voice, and a "snap" slap fell on her face, and the Queen Mother was furious, and said angrily, "Village woman?" and then another hard slap, "Dirty deeds? Are you scolding the first emperor?"
