Twenty years ago, Lan Qi would have panicked and hesitated after hearing this. Now, she can calmly stay by Xuan Ye's side and listen to him continue to say those cruel and realistic words.
Xuan Ye said: "I was too tolerant of the emperor and his courtiers, and they were too obscure. I once told you that the joy after getting rid of Obai did not last long, and I soon felt the pressure from elsewhere.
Now that I think about it, when I killed Oboi, I didn't scare them. I just made them learn to behave and let them know that they have to deal with me and control me, but they can't show off and let me catch the clue and poke it where it hurts, so as not to end up in the same end.
.”
Lan Qi thought in her mind that what he just said was that the prince was born without a mother, which was the best condition. But what impact could the mother have? In the final analysis, it was still the power behind the relatives, and the Hesheli family was not
They are strong because of the queen, but on the contrary, the queen and the prince are strong because of them. As far as the family is concerned, the presence or absence of Queen Hesheli has no impact. In the past, the family was unable to control Kunning Palace, but now it controls Yuqing Palace to death.
. If the queen is still there, she will become a natural barrier for the prince, separating him from his relatives. It is indeed not a great imperial power tactic to kill his mother when he has a son.
"It's not that I don't understand." Xuan Ye said with contempt and ridicule towards himself in his eyes, "It's because I'm too indecisive, it's because I'm too naive."
Lan Qi comforted: "Now that I have thought about it clearly, just do as you wish. The past is in the past. Why should the emperor blame himself?"
Xuan Ye looked at her, and the tense expression on his face relaxed. He smiled slightly and asked, "No matter what happens, you will stand by my side, right?"
"I will never waver in anything at any time." Lan Qi responded calmly, holding Xuan Ye's hand in her palms and saying with a smile, "We will walk together on the road ahead, even if you dislike me,
I will also hold you tightly and pester you, don’t worry, I won’t lose you anywhere.”
Xuan Ye's eyes were as doting and cherishing as they were more than 20 years ago. He patted her forehead, came over and kissed her gently on the cheek. Before his lips could leave, he said in her ear: "I want to depose the prince."
.”
Lan Qi said that she would not be shaken. It turned out that a petrified person really would not be shaken. Xuan Ye smiled and looked at the person who stiffened for a moment, and smiled disdainfully: "Look, you are not reliable at all. It's just a word."
That's it. What are you thinking about now? Are you afraid that your son will be involved, or that I will embarrass Yinzhen and the others? Didn't you say that you want to stand behind me? "
In fact, Lan Qi had long felt that Xuan Ye was impatient with the prince, and had even thought that he wanted to depose the prince, but it was just a few vague and ambiguous words. Most of the time, Lan Qi felt that it was her inner demons and desires that were at work.
Now that she really heard these words, what she was thinking about was not what kind of future her son would have, but that Xuan Ye was finally willing to let go of the burden that he had carried for more than 20 years due to his youthful impulse.
No matter how far this matter can go, no matter whether he can finally achieve his wish, at least from now on, the emperor will finally have less worries. He will no longer worry, and he will no longer be heartbroken.
"After making a decision, I won't hesitate anymore, but I just want to tell you my wish. As for what will happen in the future, I can't make any promises to you." Xuan Ye reached out to hold her cheek and said slowly, "I am willing to give you
You have the best in the world, but that is for you, not for the children. I can only give you the beauty in front of you, and I cannot give you the future of the Qing Dynasty as a promise. When I established the prince, I gave it to the queen.
Promise is because I love her so much that I want to give her the best in the world. This prince's position is not so much given to Yin Reng as to the queen. I can't make the same mistake again. The deposed prince is
It’s my wish, but whether or not it will be established again in the future, and which one to establish, I can’t say.”
On the contrary, Lan Qi was certain in her heart and agreed, while Xuan Ye said: "The Qing Dynasty will have a better emperor in the future. There are many outstanding talents among my sons. In the future, those who are capable will be the best. It depends on their own destiny. "
"I have recorded it, my concubine."
"After these words have passed through this door, I will not tell the second person again." Xuan Ye raised Lan Qi's finger in a decent manner, "You can't tell the second person, not even Grandma Sumala. .”
Lan Qi smiled naively and laughed at Xuan Ye: "It's just a trick to coax a child." But others said, "It concerns the country, the country, how can it be a trick to coax a child?"
The hands of the two of them were shaking slightly, and they were pulling the hook to make a promise. Many years and ups and downs had accumulated in the blink of an eye. Lan Qi suddenly burst into tears, which frightened Xuan Ye at a loss. He hugged her and asked what was wrong, but he heard someone say: "I feel bad." you……"
The emperor rested in Yonghe Palace that day, and the poems from Qianqing Palace were sent to Yonghe Palace in several batches. People in the palace had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. Earlier, they would have been jealous of Concubine De's special favor, but now they feel that the emperor can have a wife. With peace of mind everywhere and peace in the palace, everyone's life will be easier, which is not a bad thing.
Time will always erase some edges and wash away some resentments, and people's hearts will gradually calm down. Perhaps this is the gift of age.
But in the comfortable days, an invisible truth pounces on everyone. This time the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate who is colluding with people outside the palace, and has no intention of letting anyone go. Naturally, people with a peaceful mind need not worry about this, but they have done evil things. Yes, I'm afraid I'm doomed this time.
Two days later, little brother Honghui from the fourth brother's house was sent to the inner palace. Yinzhen didn't know what he was doing, but Yuxi sent it to him personally. Lanqi greeted her mother and asked Yuxi to bring back many valuable items. Medicinal materials, I heard that Jue Luo's condition has improved, and I hope she can fully recover, and told Yu Xi not to worry about family affairs, but to take good care of her mother.
Not long after Honghui arrived, Nian Tong also entered the palace. The two siblings grew up together and were inseparable. Nian Tong talked about her brother at home every day. Yinzhen got impatient, so he took her into the palace and handed her over. The mother said: "I'm afraid there will be no one to take care of me at home, and my mother will be more affected. In a few days, I will have some clues about the errands at hand, so I will take the child back."
Lan Qi joked to her son: "What you say is trivial. It's like asking a grandmother to take care of the child like a commoner's family. E Niang is not an idle mother-in-law."
Yinzhen knew that his mother didn't mean that, so he smiled and said nothing. Instead, his mother asked, "What have you been busy with recently? I heard from Yuxi that you were so upset that even Nian Tong was angry." He frowned and said impatiently, "So what if my mother knows?"
Lan Qi scolded: "What are you talking about?"
Yinzhen actually said angrily: "Did E Niang already know who killed Yinzuo?"
Lan Qi's heart trembled, she turned away and whispered softly: "Why did you mention this?"
Yinzhen sighed deeply, poured tea for himself, and then said: "The emperor asked his ministers to help investigate where the poison that killed Empress Min came from, and accidentally discovered something. It is really logical when you think about it. I don’t understand why they are still getting away with it after so many years, mother, do you know why?”
"Have you asked Huang Ama?"
"No." Yinzhen's face darkened, "I can't ask."
Lan Qi calmed down and said calmly: "In the future, if you think you can ask your mother, if you ask me why again, my mother can only tell you that the emperor is rich in the world, but he only sits on a dragon chair." , who wants to control the courtiers and rule the world, he is the most helpless person in the world. Huang Ama and E Niang hate Yin Zuo's death more than you, but I am your Ama's concubine, and you are his son, Ruolian We can't understand him, so what's the difference between him and those evil people?"
"But my mother..."
"That was in the past. You were still a child at that time. It's not your turn to come back and complain." Lan Qi was able to face her son now and said seriously, "Since Huang Ama asked you to intervene, then
Just handle it properly, E Niang can't give an explanation to Yin Zuo, and now you can't give an explanation to Yin Xiang, that's your ability."
Yinzhen frowned and stared into his mother's eyes. Mother and son had never looked at each other like this before. After all, his son's aura was gradually weakening. He stood up and said in a low voice: "My son will definitely give Yinxiang an explanation. In the future,
...I also need to give an explanation to Yin Zuo."
He bowed and saluted, turned around and was about to leave, but Lan Qi said: "Yin Zuo is not the only brother you have. Don't do stupid things impulsively. You have other brothers. Don't let them bear your fault and embarrass you in front of others. Emperor.
When Ama asked you to intervene, he knew you would notice the truth. But he didn't let you get involved in all this just to make you impulsive and reckless. He wanted you to see the world clearly. If you were confused and blinded by hatred, what would happen if you were blinded by hatred?
What can really change?”
Yinzhen was so angry that he was obviously frustrated after hearing these words. Yinzuo's death had accumulated hatred in his heart for more than ten years. This time, the death of Concubine Min was brought out. At the instruction of his father, he worked with other ministers to investigate the poison.
When they gradually found clues, they actually learned the truth behind the tragedy more than ten years ago, and this time it was related to them.
The death of Da Fujin made him feel that he had a twisted pleasure. Even though he knew that it was about Mingzhu and Concubine Hui, that the eldest brother was innocent, and Da Fujin was even more innocent, he still felt that evil would be rewarded. On the other hand, he felt twisted pleasure for himself.
My mind was conflicted, and I was entangled in the fact that I couldn't really be happy with my grudges. But now, my mother was saying this to myself.
"Eniang is afraid that I will do something stupid and drag down my brothers in the future." Yinzhen couldn't help but said, "How can I control their future?"
Lan Qi said calmly: "I don't want you to be responsible for their future, but I don't want you to isolate yourself. Now you can't even take care of your family, and even your daughter is angry. In the future, you will see more of the world."
The truth about your ugliness and powerlessness, your wife and children can be pushed away by you, it shows that your brothers and friends want to stay away from you, and I don’t want to see you become a lonely person."
This sentence poked at Yinzhen's weak point, and his momentum completely weakened. He was about to leave, but he turned back and sat down. His mother asked him: "Your mother-in-law is seriously ill, have you ever visited her?"
The son's eyes darkened and he looked away and said, "Did Yuxi complain to you?"
Lan Qi sighed: "She has never mentioned you, but I guess she will come to the palace in person to discuss with me. She probably can't even talk to you anymore."
