Wei Cheng knew that his mother must have something to ask, so he visited her late at night. At this moment, he had taken off his heavy dress and put on the plain white clothes he liked to wear on weekdays. He was holding an umbrella, and snowflakes were falling on his umbrella.
In the palace, Cuizhu whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince is here."
The queen opened her eyes, waved everyone away, and the prince pushed the door open and entered.
"Mother."
"coming."
The queen was sitting in front of the dressing table, removing the red hairpin and jade ring by herself bit by bit.
The mother and son did not spare the circle. The queen just said: "Mr. Wang...were you bribed later?"
The prince did not deny it, but lowered his eyes, straightened his sleeves, and said, "Be prepared."
Ever since he knew that Xie Xing and others might take action against them on the 15th, the prince had been secretly on guard. It was just that he didn't know what Xie Xing and others were planning at the time.
When the men in black suddenly appeared in the palace, Wei Cheng knew that this was Xie Xing and the others who had begun their operation. The prince was sure that Xie Xing would not be so bold as to kill the emperor and him on this day. Xie Xing's purpose was to disrupt the palace and anger the emperor.
.
So he deliberately tried to block it, and as expected, the man in black was caught off guard and did not kill him. Instead, when the prince was exposed, he only injured the back of his hand.
At that moment, the prince, who was as wise as a demon, was vaguely aware of Xie Xing's purpose.
The bloody identification that happened later confirmed the prince's suspicion.
However, he did not panic. With his strong psychological endurance and courage, he won the second chance to recognize his relatives with blood.
Eunuch Xie and others thought that Dr. Wang was one of their own, so they just let it go.
But in fact, Yu Wenyan, who was ambushing outside, took advantage of this opportunity to help Wei Cheng rebel against Imperial Physician Wang.
Anyway, Xie Xing threatened Imperial Physician Wang’s family, and the Crown Prince could kill his family. What Imperial Physician Wang really cared about was the life and death of his family, and he did not dare to offend the Crown Prince and the Queen, so he put alum in the water for the second time. Alum dissolves in water and is colorless.
Tasteless, the blood of the emperor and the prince did indeed fuse. That's why Xie Xing and others were caught off guard, and even Xie Xing was finally deflated and sent to the heavenly prison.
It's a pity that Concubine Jing was not able to drag her down. But in the end, Concubine Jing also lost the emperor's trust.
The queen listened quietly to her son telling the whole story, and slowly frowned: "Yu Wenyan? Yu Wenyan, the son of the Southwest King? How can you, my prince, cooperate with outsiders?"
Although Yu Wenyan was just an unpopular hostage, he was also bullied in the palace.
But the prince actually cooperated with a son whose surname was Wang, and the queen had to be more vigilant, "Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and bite you in the future!?"
The prince was silent, and then said: "Mother, times have changed. If we want to stand firm, we need some help. What's more, Yu Wenyan also needs help from me, so we can only take one step at a time."
The queen still frowned, feeling deeply uneasy. But she knew that what her son said was right.
Without help, in the palace, even though she is the queen and her son is the prince, it will be difficult to resist the villain in the dark.
For example, the queen gave Mrs. Jiang a sedan chair in exchange for advance notice.
For example, if the prince can use people and dares to use people, then the crisis in the palace can be resolved.
If any of these were missing, they would have been afraid of death countless times.
The queen lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, I understand. Just do it. I will always believe in you."
The Queen is not a person without courage. This can be seen from the fact that she just responded to the situation in the Xuanzheng Palace and exposed the suspicion of Xie Xing and Concubine Jing in front of the Emperor in just a few words. Without the Queen's few words, the Emperor would really have been helpless.
They will definitely be able to put suspicion on Xie Xing and Concubine Jing, let alone punish them.
"Now Xie Xing has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison. Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
The eldest prince lowered his eyes, "My son has sent people to investigate Xie Xing's background a long time ago... In a few days, your Majesty will be able to find out that Xie Xing is a branch of the Xie family. He was once exiled by the whole family but he survived without telling the Holy One."
As a thank you for entering the palace as a eunuch... Do you think your Majesty will let him live?"
Exiling the whole family is basically an ending of waiting for death.
And Xie Xing actually had the heart to hide his life experience and hide in the palace! He even reached the position of the number one eunuch around the emperor after so many years!
How can this not scare people!?
How could others be allowed to sleep soundly beside the emperor's bed! In this way, no matter whether Xie Xing framed the queen and the prince or not, he must have framed him! And he must be executed for it! Only after he is completely dead can the emperor feel at ease!
The queen understood and said calmly, "Then Concubine Jing..."
The Queen always felt that Concubine Jing seemed to have restrained herself a lot since she knew she could not conceive, but in fact she was secretly crazy, even more so than before. Concubine Jing would always be a disaster if she remained.
The prince had a different opinion, "Concubine Jing does not have a general to help her. Nowadays, there are occasional foreign enemies on the northwest border, and the general has too much time to take care of herself. If Xie Xing dies, Concubine Jing will not be able to be a great person... Instead of spending time dealing with her, it is better to keep her and sit down."
Tigers fight in the mountains. Concubine, please don’t forget that there are other concubines in the harem. As long as Concubine Jing is still there, the others will try their best to seek your blessing even if they get pregnant or give birth."
The prince said resolutely, "This is your best chance to win over people and gain power. You might as well keep Concubine Jing as bait to help you raise her."
The queen stared deeply, deeply at her increasingly outstanding son.
He was still dressed in white, but as long as he didn't want to pretend, the ambition in his eyes never diminished.
It turned out that her son had been suffering from leg problems for so many years, and instead of passively withdrawing from the world, he had been dormant, observing, and waiting for opportunities to emerge.
The queen nodded and secretly said that the prince... is also a man who can stand alone.
Although he is only eight years old, he is still at an age where he should go to Imperial College.
The queen thought for a while and said: "Since you are already the prince, you must take the lead, go to the Imperial College to study hard, and meet more with your brothers... As for Mr. Shi... staying in the palace is always a disaster. Mother and concubine will think
Find a way to send the news to the Jiang family, and you... then find a way to send the Shi family father and son back to Donglin without leaving any trace after Xie Xing's death. Now that the matter is over, tell them not to return to Beijing again."
The queen closed her eyes. The affairs in the capital were so strange that she was exhausted.
Shi Jingshan... Thinking of the beauty and simplicity of the unmarried days, the queen only felt that this dispute in the capital was not suitable for the Shi family to face after all.
If they can return to Donglin safely and live a peaceful life, that's it. They should never go to Beijing to experience all these conspiracies.
The prince responded: "My son knows, mother and concubine, please rest early."
The sound of the door opening was heard outside, and Cuizhu saw the prince off.
