Even if it was to clear himself of suspicion, he was unwilling to do so.
No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do!
But his unwillingness made him look completely different in the eyes of everyone.
Even the people around him couldn't help but guess.
Did King Chen really have wounds on his hands? Did he really assassinate the Queen Mother?
But it shouldn't be. Xiao Zichen is usually a cautious person, so how could he assassinate the Queen Mother for some inexplicable reasons?
What's more, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many more guards in the palace than usual. King Chen is not a reckless person without a plan!
Xiao Zichen was really not nervous. On the contrary, Yu Siling, who was sitting next to him, looked pale and glanced at Bai Yuxian next to him from time to time, for fear that he would accidentally expose his wound.
"Oh, just now Chen'er said that he was with Princess Jade just now. I wonder if the Ai family can tell where Princess Jade and Chen'er were just now?"
The Queen Mother stared at Yu Siling with sharp eyes, not missing his expression at all, feeling confused and a little scared in her heart.
If the person who just eavesdropped was really Yu Siling, I don't know how much he listened to.
If everyone hears it, then this princess from the Western Kingdom really cannot stay.
And once it is determined that the person who just eavesdropped is Yu Siling, there is no doubt that the person who helped him rescue him must be Bai Yuxian.
But there are still some puzzles in the Queen Mother's heart. As the princess of the Western Kingdom, this is the first time for Yu Siling to come to the Dongchen Kingdom in so many years, although she has summoned him in the palace before.
However, according to the reports from the palace people around him, the last time he left him, he left the palace directly and returned to Prince Chen's Mansion. He did not stay in the palace again during this period. So how did he touch Hongyue's palace?
It couldn't have been Bai Yuxian who told him, right?
When she thought of this possibility, the Queen Mother suddenly felt cold in her heart.
If it was really Xiao Zichen who told Yu Sailing, and he and Xiao Lanxin were in the palace before Hongyue at that time, then it also means that there was a hidden line from Xiao Zichen around him.
Moreover, such fast information is really unbelievable. Is Xiao Zichen really hiding his clumsiness?
Suddenly, another figure popped up in the Queen Mother's heart, but then she shook her head fiercely.
The well-maintained face no longer looked as rosy as before. At this time, it became a little gloomy and dark, and I felt a sense of fear in my heart.
But she couldn't help but comfort herself by saying that it couldn't be her, it wouldn't be.
But her eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Lanxin, who was sitting under her. Xiao Lanxin saw the Queen Mother seeing herself. She was a little confused. Why did the Queen Mother look at him with a suspicious expression, as if he had done something to offend her mother?
.
But then Xiao Lanxin understood in her heart, her face suddenly turned pale, and all the blood faded. She shook her head towards the Queen Mother in a panic, with pleading and uneasiness in her eyes. When the Queen Mother saw him like this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She had this child, but she raised it with her own hands. Although she was not her biological child, her relationship with this child was deeper than her relationship with the emperor. How could she doubt this child?
However, the Queen Mother thought of a warning bell in her heart. Xiao Lanxin had always liked Xiao Zichen, and there was no guarantee that he would not do anything to betray her in the future. She did not control him before because she believed in her.
She didn't want him to feel disgusted with her, but now she couldn't help but want to do more, otherwise if something happened, the consequences would be beyond his ability to bear. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt a little guilty.
But when I think of my son's throne and my hard-won throne as the Queen Mother, the little bit of shame in my heart disappears without a trace.
The guard standing in front of Xiao Zichen felt quite embarrassed. While he was waiting for the Queen Mother's instructions, he felt admiration and respect for Xiao Zichen, the former heir to the throne.
Xiao Zichen was the late emperor's favorite youngest son during his lifetime. Although he was cold-blooded, he didn't like to talk.
But he is a good prince who cares about the country and the people and loves his people.
These bodyguards once worshiped him deeply, but unfortunately the current emperor is the biological son of the current empress dowager, Xiao Zhe.
Even if they didn't like Xiao Zhe, there was nothing they could do about it. As ministers, they had no right to choose their masters, and now he was in front of his idol. Although he was excited, he was also a little uncomfortable.
"Chen'er, it's just a show of arms, why are you so unwilling? Could it be that the queen mother can no longer control you?"
Bai Yuxian calmly put down the wine cup in her hand, gave Yu Siling a calming look, and turned to look at the Queen Mother above her. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
The light is deep, yet somewhat frivolous.
"Mother, do you really want to see if there is a wound on Erchen's arm? Didn't the Empress say that she has always believed in Erchen? If that's the case, then why should Erchen expose his arm? Erchen is now saying, Erchen's hand
There are no wounds, will the Queen believe it?"
The Queen Mother's face was stiff. She didn't expect that Bai Yuxian would say these words in front of everyone. She was really stunned for a moment, and then she calmed down after a while, and her face became even more ugly.
"Haha, how could it be? The queen mother has always believed that Chen'er is a good boy, so how could she not believe in Chen'er?
But this Lulu arm, it’s not a big deal, it’s just for a look, if Chen’er really doesn’t want to, then…”
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zicheng raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with burning eyes, and asked softly, "Mother, what about that?"
The Queen Mother froze.
Suddenly I don't know how to answer.
If you ask her to answer, if she doesn't want to, don't use the test. She definitely won't want to.
But if she didn't say it, Bai Yuxian would hold on to her previous words, and then all the officials present would also criticize her.
After all, the royal family's face cannot be desecrated by others. Just like if she really doesn't like Xiao Zichen, she can't show it so obviously in front of everyone, not to mention that the late emperor has only passed away for a few years.
She rejected Xiao Zichen so much, and there were many ministers in the court who had always been close to the late emperor, and they valued Xiao Zichen very much. At this time, she could not do anything to dissatisfy these humerus ministers.
The Queen Mother looked at the people below, and for the first time she felt a little short of words.
She gritted her teeth and was about to answer when Xiao Che spoke.
"It's just a sleeve first, and Brother Wang is not willing. Could it be that Brother Wang really has something in his heart? I don't know when there was so much distrust between me and Brother Wang. Even if there is so much distrust between me and Brother Wang,
