In the study room of Prince Rui's Mansion, Feng Guran had a cold face. Looking around, the entire study room looked like the remains of a tornado. Several of his subordinates knelt down on the ground without even daring to breathe.
"If you can't handle this little thing, what's the use of my king keeping you here?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are always our people in the city, but I don't know why Princess Xian was able to escape and come back. My subordinates haven't figured it out yet."
Feng Guran narrowed his eyes, "Are you telling me that you've lost sight of the person you've been staring at secretly?"
How is this possible? With that woman?
Then he asked, "What is King Xian busy with these days?"
"Back to the prince, after Prince Xian inspected Zhuangzi, he used the excuse that Princess Xian was ill and returned to the capital. He spent the whole day drinking and having fun with the children of the aristocratic families, and did not do much."
"He didn't do anything, but he sent Princess Xian to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and brought her back safely. If he had done anything, would I still be his opponent?" When Feng Guran thought of this, his chest felt like it was going to explode.
It's open normally.
That good-for-nothing actually had such abilities. He really underestimated that good-for-nothing. Does that mean those medicines were also stolen by him?
The subordinate secretly looked at the prince's expression and said carefully and tentatively, "Your Majesty, although Princess Xian secretly went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I also got some news from King Xian. I heard that it was because King Xian had a quarrel with the princess on Zhuangzi.
The princess got angry and left because of the conflict, and then learned the whereabouts of her family from her sister, and then went all the way to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As for the people around the princess, they don’t look like the guards around the king."
Another subordinate also hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the princess wanted to save her family after seeing her sister, but King Xian didn't agree, so she made an excuse to quarrel with King Xian.
Where are you leaving? Someone just came back and said that Princess Xian went to King Xian's place as soon as she returned to the house, and the two ladies had a quarrel, and Princess Xian was almost strangled to death by King Xian."
After Mu Lingxue's return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty was followed and the dead man silenced him, Longhu hid his identity and even changed his appearance. No wonder he would not be recognized.
So when they thought about the people around Princess Xian, they were still not sure that they were from King Xian.
One person's words are not as convincing as those of many. Seeing his subordinates all saying the same thing, Feng Guran also hesitated, "But where did that woman get the people to protect her? Don't forget what she was like back then.
I don’t even have the strength to fight back when someone plots against me.”
Speaking of this, Feng Guran paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them were in the same room that night, and then with a serious look on his face, he said, "Let me go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to check."
Maybe some things are not as rumored. Thinking of the woman's shining eyes that night, such a woman only now realizes how someone with such a pair of smart eyes could be stupid.
Thinking of these, those eyes became more and more clear in his memory, and he couldn't get rid of them. Feng Guran felt a tightness in his chest and stood up suddenly.
"It's the emperor's father's birthday in three days. It's just an opportunity to test Lao Jiu. You guys go down and make preparations."
Now there is a rumor in Laojiu Mansion that there is an heir, which has alarmed his father who has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. How can this not make him nervous? On the surface, it seems that the queen family and him have won the trust of his father and even control the court, but in reality
However, his power has always been tightly held by his father. Even the tens of thousands of troops in the west cannot be underestimated.
The reason why he and his mother have endured so far is because they are taboo about the existence of tens of thousands of troops.
Feng Guran gritted his teeth and wanted to see what kind of gift Lao Jiu would give him on his birthday, but no matter what it was, he would not let him get a chance to get close to his father.
In the palace, Queen Lu would throw something every day from the moment she learned that there was an heir in Prince Xian's palace. The palace slaves serving in the main palace were even more nervous and did not dare to breathe for fear of being implicated.
Empress Lu had a ferocious look on her face, "That stupid girl, did she really think that if she helped Prince Xian give birth to an heir, Lao Jiu would treat her as one of his own? She was extremely stupid, and she didn't even think about who she relied on to be where she is today. Since
If you don't obey, then don't blame the Ai family for being cruel."
Nanny Lin patted her master's back lightly and weighed it in her mind, "Your Majesty, that girl really underestimated your Majesty. She is your niece, but I feel that the Emperor's birthday will be in three days. If
If something happens, the emperor will not be in a good mood, and it is not easy to deal with her, so why should the empress be in a hurry again."
Back then, the ninth prince's mother-in-law was favored in the harem, but her beauty faded away at a young age. Since then, the emperor has never entered the harem, or in other words, the emperor has never been to the queen's palace.
There is only one person in the harem who studies elixirs, and state affairs are never involved. The government and the public seem to be the second prince's only one imperial decree away, and the queen's mother's family also has all the power in the government and the public.
Until the second prince was named Prince Rui, the emperor did not change the imperial edict to pass the throne. It seemed that everyone was waiting, just waiting for the emperor to die before naming Prince Rui as the new emperor.
It's just that these years have passed, and the emperor is still alive. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Queen and Prince Rui already control the power, but who knows that although the Emperor seems to be no longer worthy of his name, he still holds military power, and the few soldiers in the hands of the Queen's family are no match.
It's a pity that the queen is turned away every time she goes to the emperor. The emperor has never seen the emperor in these years. It can be seen that the emperor also understands that the death of King Xian's mother and concubine is related to the queen. It is just because of Prince Rui's face.
That's why I didn't break it.
After all, the emperor's heirs died one by one, and there were only two of them left. The emperor didn't want anything to happen to him anymore?
This is also the reason why the Queen has tolerated King Xian's life all these years, but she just wanted to show off to the Emperor.
Empress Lu was slightly stunned after hearing what Nanny Lin said. The bitterness on her face was unavoidable, and her whole body became depressed. "Is it easy to mourn the family over the years? The emperor locked himself up like this and only asked about everything. He didn't even see the mourning family.
No matter what, if the emperor is dissatisfied with me, he can express it directly, so why bother doing this?"
"The emperor will definitely know the pain in your heart."
Empress Lu was red-eyed before, and then said viciously, "It's that woman. Even if the emperor doesn't favor King Xian, he doesn't care about King Xian. But if it weren't for the fact that King Xian was born to that woman, he would
How could he secretly favor the Ai family? He actually acted like he was crowned king because King Xian looked like his mother. Do you really think that the Ai family would be deceived?"
Thinking that because of that woman, her man was like a stranger to her, how could Lu not feel resentful in her heart? She also hated King Xian more and more, but she couldn't do anything. She knew if something happened to King Xian
, the emperor will not let him go if he is the first one.
Then I thought about it, King Xian is a useless person, he has never made any military exploits, and he has no contact with the ministers in the court. Who among the courtiers will obey him? Such a person has no ability to compete with his own son, and he is just trying to survive.
, why should the emperor really hate me because of him?
When she saw her master, she remembered the past things again, so she had to step forward and persuade her, "Why are you still angry about this? Your Majesty is respected as the mother of a country, and Prince Rui is supported by all officials and loved by the people. Who can compare with her?"
What about?”
"Yeah, that woman won't close her eyes even if she's underground?" Queen Lu smiled ferociously.
Nanny Lin didn't know what to say, but the matter had been dealt with, and I guess the master would have figured it out. Then she couldn't help but think of the seemingly well-behaved Princess Xian, and then shook her head, how could she think of an unrelated person?
coming.
It was night, in Prince Xian's palace, Feng Guqiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the night sky through the window.
In the afternoon, he acted impulsively on that woman. He felt guilty afterwards and couldn't help but sneer on his face. When did he actually have compassion?
After his mother-in-law's accident happened, and he watched his mother-in-law die in front of his eyes, there was nothing in this world that he could pay attention to except revenge. Except for the caring black eyes in his childhood memory, everything and everyone changed.
But everything is beyond his control, simply because he has no power.
Thinking back to the moment when her hands were around her neck, facing death, that woman didn't care and didn't even struggle. This feeling of powerlessness made him dislike it very much, and he would never let such a thing exist.
"The princess cares about her brother?"
Longhu was stunned when he heard his master's words. He immediately said yes when he realized what he said. He didn't know why his master asked about this again. He remembered that he had already reported it to his master when he came back during the day.
"At any cost, bring people here."
Longhu immediately responded and retreated quietly.
The prince wants to use hostages to control the princess, is he not wrong? The prince is actually helpless to the princess? Thinking about the prince's appearance, almost the whole street is crowded as soon as he goes out. There are only women who the prince doesn't want, how can there be any woman who can refuse the prince?
Woman.
Recalling the days spent together with the princess, it was really not easy for the prince to control her temperament.
The days seemed peaceful, but there were constant undercurrents. In the past few days, Mu Lingxue was busy studying things with the musicians hired by the Rong family. She had no time to ask about other things. She heard from Qiangwei that Cui Hao was already at the drug store.
Once her feet were down, she felt relieved.
As for Lin Chengzhi, who always likes to pretend to be an uncle, he seems to like Cui Hao very much. He keeps pestering him every day, and he doesn't cause much trouble in the city. After hearing that the prime minister saw that his son has been doing well these days, he specially called him in front of him and gave him a lecture.
Don't study bad things.
This made Lin Chengzhi blush, and then he realized that if he didn't make trouble, his father would think that he was going to cause a bigger trouble, which made people even more worried.
As a result, the next day, Lin Chengzhi met Peng Zhangwu on the street and had a fight with him. The prime minister scolded his son again and felt relieved. After hearing what Qiangwei said, Mu Lingxue secretly laughed,
The Lin family father and son are really interesting.
Thinking that she would enter the palace tomorrow, Mu Lingxue had a flash of cruelty in her eyes, "Feng Guqiu, since I said that any method will work, then don't blame me for being rude."
