Emperor Zhengxuan was surprised when he listened to empress Zheng's words. Empress Zheng smiled coldly. Her tears kept falling, but she pointed to Su Ziqin kneeling on the ground: "tonight... This woman assassinated the emperor. She should have been beheaded. But she led the accusation to the prince step by step... Just to get away... "
Su Ziqin looked up and glared at empress Zheng, but immediately, her eyes flashed over and mocked, then hung her head and didn't speak any more.
Emperor Zhengxuan pursed his lips.
"Why..." said empress Zheng, slipping to the ground and crying, "my concubine used to think that the emperor's favorite was sister Xiao, so she was not less sad, but in the end, it proved that the emperor had our mother and son in his heart. My concubine was afraid of sister Xiao and imperial concubine Lin... I was afraid that these people would make the emperor never want our mother and son again. But as a result... The emperor has always firmly guarded us. My concubine felt that there was no one in the world who loved us more than the emperor. I was afraid of all the high-ranking people... But I was defeated by such a low-ranking person who had no power and was nothing... My concubine... My concubine... "
Then he cried himself out.
Emperor Zhengxuan's heart is full of five flavors. He is the greatest trust of their mother and son. She cut through thorns and thorns all the way, but... He didn't trust them because a civilian woman who wasn't even a concubine provoked a few words.
Is this his old eyes?
Emperor Zhengxuan doesn't admit that he is blind, but... He has never doubted the prince so much before! So distrustful of the prince and queen... And all this is
Thinking, he was surprised and looked at Su Ziqin coldly.
This woman... Is so powerful that she can speak in a few words
……
Prince's residence——
The prince was sleeping soundly in his study. That night, he didn't go to Miao yanxuan or his Ji concubine to rest.
After all, there will be big plans tomorrow night. Tonight is also the first time Su Ziqin sleeps. He doesn't have the mind to mess around in the backyard or deal with those women. So he rested quietly in his study.
"Bang bang -" at this time, bursts of eager knocking on the door sounded.
The prince was sleeping soundly. The sudden sound almost made him jump up, and his face turned black in an instant.
"Your Highness! Your highness! " What sounded outside was Li Gui's voice, with anxiety and panic.
After all, Li Gui was not an unruly person: "what's the matter?"
As he spoke, the whole man turned over and went out barefoot. With a squeak, he opened the door.
Then the prince's face changed. He saw five aides, including Li Gui and song Xiao, standing outside, all looking dignified.
There was such a big battle all at once. Did something happen? In the palace? By the way, is something wrong with Su Ziqin's bedtime?
"You -" the prince's face was overcast, and finally clenched his teeth in a cold voice“ All in! "
"Yes." Song Xiao and others hung their heads and walked in.
Nuo Da's study was brightly lit at once, but it failed to warm the room.
The prince didn't even change his clothes. He was dressed in light gray Chinese clothes. His hair was scattered. He stood in the study and looked at the people kneeling below“ Come on, what happened? "
"Something happened in the palace." Li Gui was sweating on her forehead and stammered.
"Su Ziqin?" The prince's voice was somber. In the past few days, his mind was full of that plan, and he was always thinking about Su Ziqin, so he guessed it was her.
"Yes..." Li Gui shook, "she... Assassinated the emperor tonight."
The prince had guessed for a long time, but after hearing the facts, he was still angry and drank coldly: "that bitch! Didn't the palace tell her tomorrow night? "
Li Gui's face was so blue that he didn't dare to say anything.
The prince said coldly, "is that dead?"
Li Gui trembled: "the emperor is only slightly injured..."
The prince took a breath, covered his face with his hands, fell down and sat in the master's chair behind him, and then stared at Li Gui with a gloomy look: "then?"
Li Gui said, "the emperor was frightened. The imperial doctor and the king's office came. The red warbler went to report to the empress, and then the empress asked someone to quietly deliver a letter to Her Highness. "
"What does the mother say?" The prince said coldly.
"When the messenger came out, the empress was going to the emperor's bedroom. She didn't know the situation there." Li Gui said, "there are only a few people in the room. A fly can't fly in. I don't know what it says."
Song Xiao said, "Your Highness has already taken precautions. Su Ziqin was captured and could not move out of the prince's palace. "
A middle-aged man in blue arched his hands and said, "yes, your highness, calm down first! The empress is not a person to be slaughtered! We will be able to cope with the past. Let's wait and see what happens now. "
"Wait and see what happens? chill? How do you want this palace to be calm? " The prince drank coldly, "good plan, such a mistake! That Su Ziqin has a pit in his head. "
The staff all hung their heads and said nothing.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and I saw a young man running in: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the Shangguan has repaired the emperor's bedroom, which seems to be going out of the palace."
"Out of the palace?" The prince and song Xiao changed their faces.
The prince said coldly, "my father was assassinated. At this time, Shangguan Xiu is not around my father to protect him. What are you doing out of the palace?"
While saying, the prince's face has changed several times, because he has guessed
"Xu Shi came to invite his Royal Highness the prince." Song Xiao took a deep breath.
As soon as this remark was made, the hearts of all the people here jumped in bursts, and everyone looked tense.
Come and invite the prince. Why invite the prince? Did Su Ziqin even give up the prince?
"How possible!" Li guitie's face was green. "It won't! When playing with Su Ziqin at that time, his Highness the prince left a back move, which made Su Ziqin misunderstand that the person behind was Liang Wang. It's time to go out of the palace to find Liang Wang... "Li Gui's face froze first.
"Liang Wang is long gone from Beijing." Song Xiao said in a low voice, "Your Highness also asked the Duke of Zhenxi to report to the emperor that the king of Liang is returning to Beijing! If you really doubt what king Liang did, the emperor will send a letter to the flying pigeon of the Marquis of Zhenxi, asking him to bring people back to Beijing as soon as possible, rather than letting Shangguan repair out of the palace. Moreover, the emperor always believed that Zhenxi Hou had captured Liang Wang. He was far away in Lingzhou. How could he go into the palace and instruct Su Ziqin? "
With that, song Xiao's face changed.
The prince is also handsome. His face is stiff. If so, even if Su Ziqin really identified the Liang king, the emperor would not believe it, and therefore guessed that there was another person behind him? And suspect the prince?
Thinking, the whole study was silent.
The prince glanced at them coldly: "if Shangguan Xiu really came to the palace, what should you do?"
The staff were startled and then all were silent.
"Bastard!" The prince drank coldly, "Shangguan revised and pressed step by step. You still have time to pretend to be mute!"
Song Xiao's eyes flashed coldly and said coldly, "what does your highness say?" No one dares to say such a big decision.
The prince mercilessly patted the Kang table beside him: "if Shangguan Xiuzhen comes to our palace, at this point, even if the empress mother and our palace recover again, the old immortal will not trust our palace as before."
Song Xiao nodded. He was also a bold man: "Your Highness is right. Moreover, in this case, the emperor will be more careful about the people around him. If he wants to assassinate again, it will be even more difficult. Also, don't forget, there are a group of ladies in the palace now. The emperor's body has really recovered, otherwise he won't favor Su Ziqin. First, he had a quarrel with his highness and his mother, and then had children with the ladies, or he was confused by the new ladies. Even, if King Lu and King Rong exploit loopholes at this time, his Highness's power will become weaker and weaker. "
"So --" said the prince, excitedly patting the table, "you can't miss the opportunity, and it won't come again! At this point... The palace can't wait any longer. "
The whole study took a breath. Is this a direct start?
Li Gui jumped with surprise: "but... Zhenxi Hou hasn't returned to Beijing yet! It's raining heavily in Lingzhou and the road is difficult to walk. It will take at least three days before the Zhenxi hou can enter Beijing. "
The prince's face was cold: "so, are you waiting for Shangguan Xiu to come and catch the palace?"
"Never." Song Xiao said anxiously, "if your highness is brought into the palace by Shangguan Xiu at this time, I don't know when he will be under house arrest. The West Marquis of pianzhen is close to his highness. The emperor is very suspicious. He will solve his military power first. At that time, the prince's highness is in the hands of the emperor. The Duke of Zhenxi dare not move rashly, so he has to be slaughtered. "
The prince's face darkened in an instant.
At that time, he became a suspect and was not trusted by Emperor Zhengxuan. The biggest rely on Zhenxi Hou was stripped of his power... That's tantamount to cutting off his hands!
At that time, he really has nothing!
So now there is only one chance! And the only chance! That is to start at once! Revolt now!
The prince took a deep breath and said darkly, "let the five cities army and horses prepare for the palace." Although these are not enemy to the forbidden army, some are better than none.
Several people fell in one place and discussed in a low voice.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside: "Your Highness, the commander of the upper officer is coming."
The prince, song Xiao and others all changed their faces and came! It really came!
The prince's face sank: "please come in." Then he looked at Song Xiao and said, "you are scattered. This palace... Will come back successfully! "
"Yes!" Song Xiao and others all shouted and knelt down: "my subordinates, may your highness achieve what he wants and be honored as a treasure!"
All the people were hurrying away.
The prince went to the side and lay back in bed.
After entering the door, Shangguan Xiu followed the steward directly to the prince's study. When he came there, he saw that the light was dark inside. The steward patted the door: "Your Highness, the commander of Shangguan is coming."
The lamp in the room lit up. The prince opened the door and yawned: "why did Shangguan suddenly visit late at night."
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the prince and said, "the emperor was assassinated... Please come into the palace and take care of the emperor."
The prince smiled, "let's start!" Turning back to the inside, he said, "change."
Li Gui and others quickly changed the prince's clothes. The prince wore a black suit and went out with shangguanxiu.
It is the time of the prince, and the people in the capital have long rested. The prince's house was originally dark, but now, with the arrival of the forbidden army, the whole Prince's house lights up.
The prince walked to the flower pendant gate, but there was a charming cry behind him: "Your Highness..."
The prince was stunned, turned around and saw Chu Miaoshu running over: "Your Highness... Where are you going?"
The prince smiled: "something happened in the palace. I'll go to the palace and have a good rest in the house."
Then he followed the steps of Shangguan Xiu and got into the carriage.
Chu Miaoshu watched the carriage go out of the flower hanging gate until it disappeared into the darkness, and her heart was still beating.
"Side imperial concubine, let's go back quickly." Green branch road.
Chu Miaoshu was worried all over his face, but there was nothing he could do now, so he held green branch's hand and walked back step by step.
"You said... Is the matter in the palace related to the plan he said in the prince's palace?" Chu Miaoshu did not know the prince's plan, but he knew that he would attack the emperor in the near future.
"Maybe!" The green branch whispered, "don't worry, madam. Your highness will return safely and win the highest throne for you."
"Yes." Hearing this, Chu Miaoshu was nervous but excited. He was very happy to think that he would soon be the queen.
……
The prince followed the official repair in a carriage. After leaving, he soon entered the palace.
The carriage stopped at Donghua gate. The prince got off the carriage and a soft sedan came over.
The prince is about to get into the soft sedan.
Shangguan Xiu came forward with a smile and said helplessly: "Your Highness, the emperor was assassinated. He was very frightened, so he ordered that whoever entered the Donghua gate had to search first."
Li Gui's face changed: "bold!"
The Shangguan Xiu arched his hand and said, "please forgive me, your highness. My highness is just acting according to orders."
"The palace understands that the most important thing now is the father's mood and body." The prince's eyes flashed cold light, but he smiled faintly: "Shangguan commander, you search!"
Shangguan Xiu was relieved and nodded, "yes!"
Then he came forward and searched the prince from inside to outside. He even searched his hair. Then he said, "Your Highness, please."
The prince's eyes flashed slightly and nodded, "OK!"
The prince got into the sedan chair, and the Party passed the Donghua gate and went straight to the bedroom of emperor Zhengxuan.
……
Emperor Zhengxuan's bedroom——
Empress Zheng's heartfelt words made emperor Zhengxuan wake up in an instant.
Su Ziqin's purpose is too obvious... Is it intentional? Or just to get away with it? But it doesn't matter... What matters is that you seem to be confused?
But... Su Ziqin's words are really justified... Emperor Zhengxuan was a little uncertain.
"Emperor..." empress Zheng cried and knelt on the ground. "King Liang is about to return to Beijing... Sister Xiao... Is watching from the sky!"
When Emperor Zhengxuan heard the words "sister Xiao", he was cold all over.
I don't know why, I think of emperor Xiao later.
When I first met him, I thought of the woman who taught him to practice sword, horse riding and Archery
He stood up step by step, ran out and climbed up... Everyone said he depended on her!
But he's not! He is the emperor!
He knew that sister Xiao didn't like Zheng, but he thought Zheng was gentle and pleasant, so he took it into the palace. Finally, after sister Xiao left the palace, he immediately granted Zheng the title of Queen.
Sister Xiao's heart at that time... Should be very unwilling
But he's not to blame. That's because the Xiao family collaborated with the enemy! Sister Xiao is no longer worthy of being the queen. Instead of executing her, she only deserves to guard the imperial mausoleum. That is his deep love and kindness.
Finally, the Xiao family was rehabilitated, which proved that the Xiao family was wronged.
But... It's not his fault! Only those treacherous ministers who framed the Xiao family. And the Xiao family is too arrogant. Only the Zheng family and empress Zheng are the ministers he helped up with one hand. They are orthodox! It should be true submission to his courtiers and wife.
Now... He's making trouble with the queen and the prince!
The king of Liang is about to return to Beijing. If the king of Liang sees that he has disposed of the prince and queen, he will clap his hands and see it as a joke! Sister Xiao is also watching in the sky
Emperor Zhengxuan was uncomfortable.
Besides, how could he be wrong!
He can't be wrong!
He supported the Zheng family, empress Zheng and the crown prince!
He's the one he wants!
It was he who brought up the crown prince into an excellent Prince step by step
"Emperor... Wuwu... Emperor!" Empress Zheng knelt on the ground and tightly pulled the hem of emperor Zhengxuan's clothes.
She doesn't know how many years she hasn't cried like this and begged like this, but at this moment, as a country, her dignity is all put down for the sake of
Emperor Zhengxuan bowed his head, looked at her crying face, looked at her humble dependence and crying kneeling in front of him like a mole ant, and took him as the man of heaven!
How can such a person
Emperor Zhengxuan sighed slightly: "Alas..."
"Emperor!" As soon as empress Zheng saw his expression, she knew that he was soft hearted and happy. She knew that as long as she mentioned Shaw, she could hold his heart tightly. She cried more humbly, "my concubine and the prince admire you like a God in their hearts..."
Emperor Zhengxuan said, "CAI Jie, go and fetch some water for your mother."
Deng Shuishui and the little eunuch looked at each other. CAI Jie's eyes flashed slightly and frowned deeply. He naturally cares about the safety of his master, but he knows more about the heart of emperor Zhengxuan!
"Yes." CAI Jie had to nod.
Su Ziqin, who was kneeling in a, looked cold, said nothing, and looked sarcastically at the couple's love for each other.
CAI Jie turned to go out and soon brought a plate of water, but before she went in, she saw Shangguan Xiu leading the prince. CAI Jie smiled and bowed: "Your Highness, you've finally come. The emperor was assassinated and frightened. The empress is pacifying the emperor, but the emperor misses his royal highness! So he called his highness into the palace. "
Shangguan Xiu looked at CAI Jie's smile and his tone, and was relieved. Because CAI Jie had such an attitude, it showed that the emperor seemed to find out that it was not the prince!
The emperor believes in the prince and queen!
The big stone in Shangguan Xiu's heart fell down, and no one wanted the imperial court to be turbulent.
"My palace is also worried about my father." The prince nodded.
"Your Highness, please!" Shangguan Xiu smiled.
"Good!" The prince also smiled gently.
