The fourth prince was assassinated, the eldest prince was imprisoned, and overnight, the people of the dynasty panicked.
Morning up.
The party of the four princes, headed by Fu Jianrong, the right minister, was distraught and scolded the king of England for being cruel and inhuman, and actually mutilating his siblings.
The ministers who stood in the British King's faction retorted that this was a blatant frame-up, and it could not be said without evidence.
When a war of words was about to start, Emperor Xixuan made a promise to Dali Siqing to investigate the matter thoroughly.
And Zuo Xiang Liang Chengyu, father of Empress Liang and grandfather Xiao Xu, interceded on behalf of Xiao Xu, and Emperor Xixuan was furious and dismissed his petition.
The ministers who supported Xiao Xu kept their lips tightly shut and did not dare to say a word.
After the early dynasty, the four princes snorted coldly at the King of England, and then walked away.
Liang Xiang had an angry look on his face, and a minister beside him asked in a low voice, "Master Zuo, what should we do now?"
Liang Xiang said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty has been looking for an opportunity to suppress His Royal Highness King Ying, but he was unable to find an opportunity. This time His Highness was going to return to the border again, but His Majesty did not want to let the tiger return to the mountains to save future troubles, so he insisted on keeping him. Your Majesty, now that this has happened, even if Your Majesty knows that the master behind the scenes is not him, he will turn one eye and close one eye, and he will also turn your Highness—"
Unspoken words, the minister did not walk in the officialdom for a day or two, so he nodded in shock, seeing His Majesty's attitude, and thinking that His Royal Highness the British King could not escape the blame.
"But we can't let His Royal Highness go down and take the blame!" the minister whispered.
Liang Xiang nodded, "I'll go look for the Empress and see what the Empress said."
"Zuo Xiangye go quickly, Wei Chen is waiting for your news, no matter what happens, Wei Chen will advance and retreat together with His Highness." The minister said solemnly.
Liang Xiang gave him a deep look. This is the lieutenant who has been with him for decades. From the soldier of the past, to the brave general who has passed five levels and cut six generals all the way, he is now in his fifties, with white hair and straight Body, but still can not hide the heroic appearance.
Liang Xiang patted his shoulder and said, "Okay."
The Gentleman's Covenant, needless to say, has been fulfilled.
Inside Chaoyang Palace.
Empress Liang leaned on the couch and looked tired. Hearing that her father asked to see her, she immediately ordered someone to come in.
"The old minister sees the empress." Liang Xiang bowed his head and saluted.
Empress Liang hurriedly had him help him up. His father, who was about to reach the threshold of 60 years old, was in good health, but he couldn't hide his old age. His son was imprisoned in the prison, and he felt very uncomfortable seeing his father in front of him. , could not help but feel wronged.
"Father—" After Empress Liang called, she choked.
Liang Xiang sighed, "Yuan'er, father's entry into the palace this time is also for Xu'er's business."
When Empress Liang heard the words, she waved back, and there were only two people in the huge hall.
"Father, can you save Xu'er?" Queen Liang's eyes were filled with hope.
Liang Xiang looked at the daughter in front of him. When he was young, this girl did not grow up in front of him. She stayed in the boudoir and saw a lot of backyard fighting. , So in the past few years, she has been pressed by Concubine Yue, and even His Majesty is reluctant to approach her Chaoyang Palace.
But now is not the time to think about these things, preparation is the top priority.
"After the fourth prince was assassinated, did you visit? Have you comforted Concubine Yue?" Liang Xiang asked.
Empress Liang's eyes widened immediately, "The child of that slut was injured, why should Ben Gong visit? It's too late for Ben Gong to be happy, let alone comfort that slut!"
Hearing that, Liang Xiang shook his head, his acquaintance Mo Ruofu, he had expected it, so he raised his hand to stop her temper, and shouted, "Nonsense! Do you still think you are the first lady of the Fu family who can act arbitrarily? You have to admit it. Clear your current identity, you are a queen of a country, you should speak and behave like a queen of the country, no wonder Your Majesty favors Concubine Yue, look at Concubine Yue, and then look at you!"
Being scolded, Empress Liang refused to accept, "Concubine Yue's methods are vicious and vicious, how can you, father, praise her for belittling her own daughter!"
Liang Xiang brushed his forehead, "But she knows when to be soft and when to be ruthless, so in His Majesty's eyes, she is gentle and pleasant, while you are selfish and narrow-minded, this is the difference! Yuan'er, you are eating here. People have lived in the palace for 20 years, how can you still look like a child, no wonder Your Majesty is not happy with Xu'er, in fact, most of the reasons are due to you."
Empress Liang wanted to refute, but she couldn't say it.
Liang Xiang continued, "As soon as something happened last night, you should immediately send the imperial doctor to treat the fourth prince and appease the concubine Yue, which is also equivalent to appeasing the harem. The precious medicinal materials should not be sent to the Mingchen Palace stingy, this will show the power of your harem. The atmosphere of the Lord is steady, but look at what you have done? If you have a heart to make a fuss about it, you will think that you are afraid to show your face because your son has done something wrong. If you are all-inclusive, Your Majesty will not give you the Lord of the Harem. Face, punish Xu'er so mercilessly!"
"Yuaner, Yuaner, if you don't wake up quickly, I'm afraid our Liang family will fall, or—" Or die without a place to be buried.
Empress Liang trembled with fright. She immediately grabbed her father's hand and asked in a panic, "What should the daughter do now?"
"According to what Daddy just said, reward and appease can't be missed."
"Okay. What else?" Empress Liang finally felt the seriousness of the matter. If her father hadn't ordered her, Xu'er would have been miserable by her.
"Also," Liang Xiang sighed lightly, "Go and ask Your Majesty, considering the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, to open up to Xuerwang, at least a fair investigation process is required."
Empress Liang nodded, and that was all she could do.
When Liang Xiang was about to leave, Empress Liang suddenly stopped him.
"Father, if His Majesty doesn't want to let this opportunity to suppress Xu'er, then we—" Her tone was a little gloomy.
"Then—" Liang Xiang didn't look back, "Let's plan for the worst, there's no turning back."
Empress Liang's eyes darkened, "Okay."
If this is the case, it can only be ruined.
The ninth floor of the prison.
Xiao Xu sat on the ground in a clean suit, his expression was cold, and he was not impatient because he was imprisoned in the sky prison at this time. He looked up at the moon outside the window and remembered what the little guy said in his ear before.
The fifteenth moon is sixteen rounds.
He had never paid attention to the full moon before, only because of the little guy.
The moon tonight is indeed very round. He remembered that he had promised her that he would accompany her to appreciate the moon tonight.
Too bad he could only go back on his word.
I don't know if the little guy was scared because of him.
Xiao Xu's eyes became as cold as moonlight.
The taste of missing, like this breeze and bright moon, is indescribable.
