As soon as Emperor Xixuan said these words, Eunuch Cao broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
This question is of great importance. How can he be a little slave to talk about it casually? Mingzhe protects himself!
Eunuch Cao lowered his eyes and bowed, "Your Majesty doesn't understand, and neither does this old slave. I just feel that Miss Chu family is not under those famous ladies, regardless of her appearance or talent."
Emperor Xixuan turned his head to look at the old guy who had been with him for decades, and couldn't help sneering, "You sly, every time I ask you something, you hesitate, and no one is offended, so what else can we do? Am I worried?"
Eunuch Cao bent his waist lower, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, the old slave is soft-spoken, stupid and stupid. Now that he is old, his brain is even more difficult to use. If you want to do physical work in the future, you can ask the slave to do it, but this kind of The big thing, the old slave really can't help."
Seeing that he was so frightened by himself, Emperor Xixuan was not in the mood to ask any more. He sighed lightly, "Time makes people grow old, and Zhen is also old. In the future, the country will be handed over to the next generation."
Eunuch Cao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is still so young, how can you be old? Now that the world is peaceful, it is your Majesty's way of governing the country."
Emperor Xixuan shook his head and laughed, "You have no ability to do things, but your skill in flattering is incomparable."
Eunuch Cao smiled, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
"You ah you ah-"
I really can't take this old guy!
But after Emperor Xixuan restrained his smile, his whole person became depressed.
Ran'er's matter can only be postponed temporarily. After talking with Ran'er today, he found that Ran'er was too obsessed with Chu Qingyan, so obsessed that he had blinded his eyes. Yan has no feelings, but in fact, Xu'er is still very satisfied with Chu Qingyan's fiancee.
If he forcibly separated the two, even if Xiao Xu had no feelings for her originally, but canceling the marriage in public would undoubtedly be hitting him in the face, even if he didn't like Xu'er's son, he still wanted to protect the royal family's face.
Moreover, Xu'er had already handed in the token at this time, and planned to return to Liancheng and never return to Beijing. For him, it was a great good thing, and he could justifiably be the crown prince, so he didn't want to make extra troubles.
Just thinking of Ran'er's pleading eyes before he left, he suddenly hesitated.
It is not impossible to marry Chu Qingyan to his younger son, but he needs some time to weigh it.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xixuan raised his forehead with a headache, "Cao Zhi, go back to the imperial study."
"Yes." Eunuch Cao immediately followed.
a few days later.
Concubine Yue knew that her son had already revealed his feelings to His Majesty, but since His Majesty left the palace, she had no thought of mentioning it at all, and she was very anxious.
However, her condition has improved a lot in the past two days, but her mood is still very low.
On this day, Dong Tingfan appeared in the Moon Palace.
"You sent me several letters one after another, but what's the urgency?"
Dong Tingfan was still dressed in a black robe, and the black hat tightly covered his face, only two eyes were exposed, making his whole person very gloomy.
Concubine Yue was very pleasantly surprised when she saw him suddenly appear. She didn't hide it. She told the story that Ran'er had fallen in love with Chu Qingyan, and then asked him what he thought.
Dong Tingfan frowned when he heard the words, "Now is the critical moment for the establishment of the Crown Prince. His Highness is both ill and troubled by love. If it spreads out, it will affect the evaluation of him by those neutral ministers."
Concubine Yue said worriedly, "This is exactly what I'm worried about, I originally thought that I would be able to use His Majesty's hand to dissolve the engagement between Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan, and then arouse Xiao Xu's resistance and oppose His Majesty. If it is framed for him, then he will have no room to turn around."
"Your plan is advisable. Xiao Xu is a sleeping lion. In the past, he was submissive, but because it didn't touch his bottom line. Now this is a matter of face. If he resists, then he will be given peace. It's not impossible to be accused of treason, but the key is, will your Majesty do this?" After analyzing Dong Tingfan, he gave the most crucial question.
After listening to Concubine Yue, she patted the table angrily, "Up to now, Your Majesty has not heard any news for the past two days. The most recent ones have been staying in her own bedroom, probably because she was afraid that I would ask questions, so she avoided me. ."
"Since Your Majesty's side is unreliable, you brought me here but have other plans?" Dong Tingfan went straight to the topic, he didn't like to hear her talk about Emperor Xixuan.
Concubine Yue couldn't help but said, "Senior brother knows me best. I do have an idea. I hope you can help me."
"Just tell me!" Dong Tingfan said without surprise.
"You just said that now is the sensitive period for the crown prince, but there can't be any mistakes, so Chu Qingyan's uncertain factor will affect his future journey, so I want you to solve her secretly It may be painful for a while, but it will not be sad forever. Only when Chu Qingyan is dead can he marry Jing Mingzhu with peace of mind and concentrate on preparing for the crown prince. ."
Concubine Yue has a vicious heart, and she completely blocks her son and the splendid future of her family.
Dong Tingfan neither agreed nor opposed to her proposal.
"Don't you have a son with superb martial arts, it should be more than enough to send him to kill Chu Qingyan." Concubine Yue's eyes lit up and suggested.
Dong Tingfan remembered that he had just hurt him a few days ago, and it was inappropriate to send him out at this time. He thought of one person.
"More than ten years ago, I placed a chess piece beside Xiao Xu, and now it's officially in use."
Concubine Yue also remembered that she had suggested to him back then that he should send someone to hide beside Xiao Xu in order to be able to use it in the future, but after so many years, she had already forgotten it, and it was only vaguely after he mentioned it. Impressed.
"Can this be done?" Concubine Yue was a little worried.
Dong Tingfan smiled in a low voice, "I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this person would be from the Moon Palace, and he has won the trust of the Royal Palace, so it's the most suitable person to use."
With his words, Concubine Yue felt relieved, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Dong Tingfan nodded.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Huang Yi was checking the newly purchased steamer, because Mr. Chu wanted to eat steamed buns recently, and the steamer in the kitchen was broken because it had been idle for too long, so she specially explained that she bought another one.
After opening the steamer, she suddenly found a bamboo tube with a length and width of fingers. She picked it up and saw that there was a note inside. She paused before taking it out and unfolding it.
Kill Chu Qingyan.
