The prince's legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground. As if all the strength had been drained from his body, he stood there in a daze, holding on to the chair.
At this moment, the prince's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything. Only three words swirled in his mind: What should I do!
important matter? hehe! She really wanted to seek justice for her own son! Can't wait for a moment to come!
In addition to being frightened, the prince felt even more distressed.
"Prince? What's wrong with you?" The little eunuch outside the door couldn't help raising his voice when he didn't hear his answer, and knocked lightly on the door.
"Understood! Let's go!" The prince suddenly came back to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief to calm his mind, and replied firmly.
Although the little eunuch was a little suspicious, but it was not up to him as a slave to take care of the master's affairs, so he obeyed his orders and left.
The prince was upset, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a proper solution. He couldn't help but frown, and sighed a long time, feeling dejected.
With something on his mind, the time passed quickly, and the prince sat in the study for a whole day before he knew it.
It wasn't until there was another knock on the door outside that he suddenly realized that the light in the room was already very dark, and it was almost dark!
"Who?" The prince asked coldly, feeling very angry.
"It's me!" The princess said with concern outside: "Prince, what's wrong with you! You haven't eaten all day, it's time for dinner!"
For dinner? Where is he in the mood for dinner!
The prince was in a bad mood and was about to scold the princess, when he suddenly thought that the princess had a good relationship with the empress—even if she had a bad relationship with the empress, he could bring her into the palace tomorrow to pay her respects, at least she had a companion, right
So the prince suppressed his anger, let out a faint "hmm", got up and went out.
The princess also heard the report from the little eunuch that the prince had locked herself in the study for a whole day without being disturbed by anyone, so she came to have a look.
I didn't expect the prince to give her face like this: he doesn't allow others to disturb, but he opened the door and came out as soon as he said it!
How can she be unhappy
Thinking of this, the crown princess smiled even brighter, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Prince, my concubine has ordered someone to prepare dinner, and I specially ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite squirrel mandarin fish, and Eight treasures of water and land, please hurry up!"
"You have a heart!" The crown prince really felt hungry when he came, and since he wanted to pull the crown princess together as a shield, he was naturally too embarrassed to be too impatient with her, so he responded with a pleasing expression. One sentence.
The concubine was even more delighted, she talked to him more and more enthusiastically, trying to please him in different ways.
You know, the prince hasn't treated her like this for a long time.
But soon, the princess found that the prince became a little impatient again. Basically, she was talking to herself, and he was absent-minded and didn't answer her a few words at all, or simply answered the question that was not relevant.
But she didn't know, how could the prince have the heart to joke with her at this time
Today, the Crown Princess intends to be a virtuous, virtuous, understanding and good wife. After realizing it, she tactfully shut her mouth and asked with concern: "The Crown Prince seems to be in a bad mood, but what troubles do you encounter? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing!" The prince was startled, and replied lightly. After a pause, she continued: "Well, the queen mother sent someone to deliver an oral order, asking Gu to enter the palace tomorrow to say hello, and you can go with Gu!"
The Crown Princess is completely ignorant of the inside story, and she didn't take it seriously when she heard what he said. She nodded and smiled casually: "The Prince will let the concubine accompany you, and the concubine will just accompany you! The queen mother is too, baba's Sending someone here just to say that! What's the matter with this!"
The princess thought that the prince often went to the palace to pay his respects as before.
Seeing the concubine's casual and natural attitude, the prince was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, he couldn't help thinking that he was confused!
Why are you panicking and afraid? How could the queen know that she already knew her secret? She doesn't know at all!
That is to say, in her eyes, she is still the former self, the son who respects her!
That being the case, what do I have to be afraid of? Wouldn't it be fine to just treat her the same way as before
If she was nervous and flustered, in case she would suspect something when she showed her feet, it would be really bad!
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Now that he has figured it out, then of course there is no need for the Crown Princess to accompany him into the palace to pay his respects. Not only does he not need it, but he can't at all!
If he took the princess with him, wouldn't it be self-inflicted? With the queen's intelligence, she would doubt what he knew!
The prince exclaimed in his heart, "It's dangerous!" The heartbeat accelerated at this moment.
"Well, I thought about it for a while, tomorrow you don't have to accompany Gu into the palace, you can go alone!" The prince said lightly again.
The Crown Princess has always been what he said, and she didn't take it seriously when she heard him change his words. She nodded with a smile and said "Yes", thinking about how to please the Crown Prince later. Leave him in his bedroom tonight...
After the next day, the prince stabilized his mind and made sure that he looked flawless as usual, so he walked towards Kunning Palace.
When he came to the gate of Kunning Palace, he couldn't help slowing down his pace, raised his eyes to look, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. In the past, whenever he came here, his heart was filled with warmth.
Now I know that those warmth are fake...
The prince secretly sighed, raised his eyelids, suppressed the strange and unnatural feeling, and walked in calmly.
The queen had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw him, she looked very bad.
The prince smiled and bowed to greet him, and said with a smile: "Mother, your complexion is not very good, did you not rest well last night? Your body is important, don't work too hard!"
"Hmph!" The queen smiled coldly, her face immediately relaxed, and she raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Don't work too hard? That's no good! My son has grown up and his wings are hardened. If I don't work harder, I will help myself sooner." Planning to plan, I don’t know what will happen in the future!”
The prince's face turned pale when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Queen Mother, are you talking about my son! My son must not dare!"
"Don't dare!" Thinking of the assassination suffered by the third prince and the injuries he suffered, the queen became furious, wishing to return ten times the amount to the prince, and said coldly: "You have long since ignored what I said, and you still don't want to give it back to the prince." There is nothing you dare not! I see that there is nothing you dare not!"
"Mother's queen!" Hearing the words, the prince raised his head to look at the queen, and said unhappily: "Is the mother's queen because of the matter of the third emperor—"
"I already know, it really was you who did it!" He said it without asking himself, which shows how arrogant and arrogant the empress is.
"So what! Shouldn't it be!" The crown prince shouted: "You don't need to hide things from your mother, and there is nothing to hide! My son just wants his life! The emperor is looking at him more and more." Shunyan, I can't keep him anymore!"
The queen was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that in front of the prince, she was his biological mother, and the third prince had nothing to do with her!
Realizing this, the queen regained her composure and was not as angry as before.
Aunt Qing watched from the sidelines already sweating, and when she saw that the queen's expression had finally returned to normal, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Otherwise, it's not uncommon for the crown prince to see something!
The queen calmed down, thought for a while, then glared at the crown prince with hatred, and said earnestly: "You! You are still so impulsive! When will you grow up and ask Ben Gong to stop worrying about it! Didn't Ben Gong say Have you ever been? The third child is not your opponent at all. Even if he is favored by your father, he has just received an errand. He has no foundation at all, and he has no support from his mother's family. What are you afraid of? What is your father thinking? Hmph, I can guess that you did it, you think you can hide it from your father! Think about how you can tell the difference in front of your father!"
The prince's face turned pale, and he was really a little scared.
After the incident was revealed, he was only worried about the empress, and he hadn't spared any energy to think about how his father would deal with it. In this way, it was really troublesome!
"Mother!" The prince stepped forward on his knees, grabbed the queen's sleeve and begged: "Mother, I know my mistake, and I will never dare again! I beg you to save my son! I beg you to help me in front of my father!" Say something nice, son!"
The queen felt a burst of joy, and sneered: "I know I was wrong? It's too late! What did you do earlier!"
Sensing the look in Aunt Qing's hand, although the queen was reluctant in her heart, she still snorted and said angrily: "Get up! How tall you are, how decent it is to kneel here! Don't forget, you are the prince! You should show the bearing of a prince! Don't just kneel!"
If it was in the past, the prince would have been moved when he heard the queen's words, but now, he only had sneers and ridicule in his heart: When it comes to acting, no one in this world can compare to the queen mother! At this time, it is really not easy for her to say such things to herself!
Hearing the words, the prince answered "Yes" with a smile, stood up and went back to sit down, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is the biological mother of the son, so it doesn't matter if you kneel in front of the queen mother!" , you will definitely help Erchen, right?"
No wonder the queen wanted to help him!
But after thinking about it, although it was clear that the crown prince did this, no one was caught doing it, that is to say, there was no evidence.
The crown prince is the crown prince. If there is no conclusive evidence, he cannot be speculated and accused at will, let alone questioned publicly.
Moreover, if this matter spreads, it will be a royal scandal, and the emperor will never make it public, so it can only be left as it is, and his crown prince position will not be removed all at once.
