Hearing what the queen said, the prince suddenly became anxious.
He can't make any more mistakes!
"Queen mother..."
In his opinion, Li Xiuzhu belonged to the emperor, and this was definitely trying to set him up.
However, before he could finish speaking, the queen waved her hand and interrupted him.
"Listen to what Huanwan has to say first."
Huanwen said: "Master said, because I didn't know that the prince sent troops in advance, I hurt the prince, and I am very sorry."
"From the perspective of my wife, the queen, and myself, it is the best outcome for everyone if one of us ascends to that position."
"Master said that if His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to turn conflicts into friendship, Master is willing to help His Highness the Crown Prince."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to cooperate, Huanhan will take the opportunity to bring the Crown Prince to have an interview with the master."
The prince understood what Huanwan said, but there were also things he didn't understand, and of course he didn't know this himself.
The Queen turned red and nodded.
Then the queen looked at the prince and said: "The prince consort can be trusted. As for other wives, it doesn't matter to you. Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you to decide."
"Also, you can't anger your brother-in-law because of Qiu Lie from now on."
"Your brother-in-law is working for the emperor, and he didn't know about your actions beforehand. The so-called ignorant person is not guilty."
"Although Mom doesn't know whether your father will give you the throne in the future, you still have to have the courage and affection you deserve."
Huanwan glanced at the queen strangely, feeling that the queen seemed to care too much about her master's family.
Is it because of Master Liuli?
Probably so. After all, she is her own daughter. If something happens to the master, the princess will also be affected.
The prince was silent for a while, then saluted the queen and said, "What the queen said is true. I will teach you."
As he spoke, the prince turned to Huanhan and said, "I am banned from the palace now. How can I meet my consort?"
"Since the Queen is here, His Royal Highness only needs to change his clothes, and he will be able to leave the palace for a short period of time."
"As long as the master and I agree on a meeting time, we can take action."
After hearing this, the queen glanced at her son's inquiring eyes and handed the token to Hanhan.
"Huanhan, this is my token. You can make arrangements now."
"Remember to bring back a box of food from Zuixian Tower when you come back. It can be used as an excuse to leave the palace."
Huanwan chuckled upon hearing this.
"I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know that this Zuixian Restaurant is no longer the number one restaurant in the capital."
"The current No. 1 restaurant in the capital is Yunzhu Restaurant, opened by Fu Yunshuang, the master's sister-in-law. She learned the cooking techniques from the master and has many unique pastries and dishes."
"Why don't you give it a try, ma'am?"
Did you learn the cooking from your consort? Or is he the best in the capital?
Li Xiuzhu wanted to try it even more because of his curiosity.
"Okay, just look at the arrangements."
"Yes, empress, Huanwan takes your leave."
Huanwan left the queen's palace, the corners of her mouth slightly curved.
Do you think she didn't notice that the two of them were talking to each other? But don't panic, she has a lot of eyes.
Although the master said that he could trust the queen, how could he place his own safety entirely on others?
It's a pity that the master won't let him hypnotize the two of them, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble.
Huanwen left the palace, passed by Li Xiuzhu's house, threw a small red flower on the tree, and then went to Yunzhu Tower and waited quietly for the master to arrive.
When Li Xiuzhu was informed about Little Red Flower, he couldn't help but rub his head with a headache. This girl, Huan Huan, meets every three days. Don't you know that she has a mission? And His Majesty has many spies.
Just as Huanwan walked out of the queen's palace, the prince couldn't help but ask the queen.
"Mother, is the prince-in-law you just mentioned true?"
The queen was not surprised at all by the prince's questioning. This was a big deal, and who knew if the other party had ulterior motives.
Therefore, there is no room for the prince to be careless.
"Well, if the consort hadn't told the Ai family not to return to the palace during the autumn hunt, analyzed the pros and cons, and helped the queen with suggestions..."
"I'm afraid you and your mother will die by then."
"So, the Prince Consort is someone you can absolutely trust."
The Queen didn't say more, she could only say this much.
After hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment and then said: "So the prince-in-law may really like us, but if something goes wrong, will the prince-in-law withdraw?"
The queen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and for a moment she didn't know how to reassure her son.
Although she firmly believed that Li Xiuzhu would not betray the two of them, you couldn't make others believe it.
After thinking about it, the queen said objectively: "You have to see how he helps you. If he helps you seek the throne openly, then he may indeed withdraw."
"If he intends to commit rebellion, then he will be a grasshopper on the same rope as you, with no way out."
"But I think my mother has seen that your brother-in-law is content with the status quo and is good at protecting himself. He may help you ascend the throne in an open and fair manner."
After hearing this, the prince thought silently for a while. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Queen mother, do you know Li Xiuzhu's weakness?"
Hearing her son call him by his first name, the queen could tell that the prince was serious. It seemed that the prince had his own plans.
The queen naturally didn't want her son to scheme against Li Xiuzhu. Not to mention anything else, even his brain was not as sharp as Li Xiuzhu's. It might be self-defeating and bad.
But the queen suddenly remembered what Li Xiuzhu told her to lie to the emperor.
Well, it wasn't a lie. In fact, she realized after getting to know him that it seemed to be his weakness.
To this end, she also found something unusual.
After thinking for a while, the queen said: "When your sister got married, her mother investigated Li Xiuzhu. Perhaps your biggest weakness is your greed for money and lust."
The queen thought to herself that if her son used this weakness to attack him, he would not be unhappy at all by giving money and women.
The prince did not expect this answer, but it seems to be a common problem among men.
While the prince was thinking, the queen suddenly remembered something about the woman.
The queen frowned slightly and said, "Prince, business matters are important, but carrying on the family line is equally important. You... stay with Rong Yu if you have nothing to do."
The prince paused for a moment after hearing the words, and felt a little bored for a moment, but he had no choice but to sigh and said: "Mom is right, I will take good care of Rong Yu after I am lifted from the ground."
Although he said this, he couldn't help but think of Fu Xin, who was cut in half by his father.
His voice, face, and smile are as good as yesterday.
It's all useless to me, I can't avenge you for Fu Xin.
When Li Xiuzhu saw Huan Huan, he didn't expect that it was because of the prince's affairs.
However, it was not appropriate for Huanwan to see him so frequently. Li Xiuzhu thought about it and agreed to meet him in seven days.
It's just after the Lunar New Year, and it's still before the New Year. This time is also considered a time when there are more people, and the safety is much higher.
The next day, the royal study room in the palace.
It was already the morning court, and Prince Li Chengze was called here by the emperor's order.
