Xie Yunqing knew how difficult it was to persuade his father, who had always believed in loyalty to the emperor to serve the country, for half his life. However, such a monarch, such a court, is not worthy of his father's allegiance.
There was no news from the palace, and the courtiers felt that the matter was too strange when they went back. They were also fidgeting at home, and simply gathered in twos and threes to discuss and study.
In the past, the emperor was in good health, and everyone didn't think there was anything. If today's son suddenly fell ill, everyone remembered that the emperor was over half a hundred years old.
Most of the princes have grown up, it's time to consider the issue of standing in line.
Among the princes, the second prince is most likely to succeed to the throne, so most of the courtiers are already on the side of the second prince. Although the fourth prince’s biological mother was rather cold, he was humble and reasonable, and he knew how to be courteous and virtuous and corporal, so he also secretly enlisted many party members. The family of the six princes' mother family, Xiangjia, also had a pivotal position in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so there were many supporters of the six princes.
If you really want to care about it, the courtiers who support the second prince as the reserve account for the majority.
Xiao Yu couldn't sleep peacefully for the past two days, and several blisters appeared on the corners of her lips because of getting angry.
He summoned a group of people to discuss matters in the study.
The emperor suddenly fell ill, which he did not expect.
Xiao Yu knows very well that now he is not brilliant in front of the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, only the second prince Xiao Zhuo, and then the sixth prince from the concubine Xian. If the emperor really has three strengths and two shortcomings, he will definitely make Xiao Zhuo the crown prince, even if he fails to leave the edict, the officials and officials will support Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Yu stared at a certain place with cold eyes, and secretly bit the tip of his tongue until he was bleeding and smelly in his mouth.
The evidence of the collusion between Xuan Lisi and the Gao family, which was collected earlier, was sent to the imperial court first. If those crimes can be made public, then even if the emperor favors Xiao Zhuo, it is impossible to ignore Yoyo's mouth. In order to quell popular grievances, it is impossible for the emperor to pass the throne to Xiao Zhuo.
It's a pity such a great time!
Xiao Yu held a pen tightly, only to hear a "click", which actually broke the pen.
Concubine Xiang Xian, who was equally worried as Xiao Yu, looked at her son. The thirteen or four-year-old boy had not yet receded his childishness, his facial features were still young, but his body had begun to develop, and the whole person was raised again. .
No matter how she looked at her, she felt that her son was ten times better than the other princes.
If Jiangshan really fell into the hands of Gao's mother and son, Concubine Xian didn't have to think about it, and Concubine Gao would definitely not let go of their mother and son and the Xiang family.
Xiangjia was a prominent family in the Great Zhou that lasted for a hundred years. The concubine Xian was not afraid that Concubine Gao could shake Xiangjia.
But the thought of her enemy stepping on her head and looking down at her made Xian Fei feel uncomfortable.
Concubine Xian could not sit still, pacing around the room.
The sixth prince looked at the actions of the concubine Xian and asked puzzledly: "Mother concubine, what are you doing?"
He was very well protected by the concubine when he urinates. He only knows how to focus on learning. Where can he understand the tricky calculations in the harem now
Concubine Xian stopped and turned to look at the Sixth Prince, her eyes full of complex emotions. She looked a little startled, and her eyes turned red before she knew it. After a long time, Concubine Xian said that she was going to greet the Queen Mother, so it was inconvenient to keep him and let him go back to the Prince's Mansion.
The sixth prince did not notice that Concubine Xian's voice suddenly became very hoarse, but he became more puzzled.
He entered the Prince's Mansion since he was six years old, and rarely returns to his mother and concubine's bedroom. It's a rare visit, the tea is still hot, and the concubine Xian will send it away
He went back, what was the reason
Concubine Xian didn't take care of the six princes to stay, and went straight to Chengqian Palace.
The Queen Mother has stayed in Chengqian Palace for these two days.
When Concubine Xian arrived, she thought she would have to wait a long time to be summoned, but she didn't expect Xiaohuangmen to go in and pass the pass, so she let her in.
The queen is also there, speaking with the queen mother.
Concubine Xian walked forward and knelt down towards the two most distinguished women in Da Zhou.
The empress dowager and the queen are a little strange.
The courtesy of the concubine Xian has never been wrong, but she has never thought about it today so cautiously and seriously.
"Get up and talk." The Queen Mother said slowly.
Concubine Xian did not get up, but bowed again.
In the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Gao patted Xiao Zhuo's hand, which was quite soothing.
"Go back and be safe and don't cause any trouble." Concubine Gao's red lips couldn't help raising her red lips, she was so proud and proud when she looked at her son. "Your father is ill, but the empress dowager blocked your father’s palace. Only the imperial physician and the eunuchs can enter and exit. Otherwise, you will be by your father’s side. The first thing your father sees when he wakes up You. How sweet do you think he should be?"
Xiao Zhuo grabbed his hair and said nonchalantly: "I don't want to go to the sick. Whoever wants to pretend to be a dutiful son will pretend to be."
Concubine Gao Gui anxiously said: "You child, who said that the sickness needs you to do something, you just need to be with your father and ask others to do everything, and wait for your father to wake up and let him see it. The first person is you."
Concubine Gao was talking and shook her head, seeming to have many sighs.
"It is very difficult for you to see your father." Concubine Gao Gui said coldly: "Your grandmother does not allow anyone to approach your father now."
Xiao Zhuo was speechless, "In this way, my father must be very sick?"
"If it weren't for the serious illness, your grandmother's temperament who didn't want to help with anything, could you come to Chengqian Palace in person?" Concubine Xian felt uncomfortable thinking about this.
Only the queen of Chengqian Palace can go in and out freely. If the other concubines want to go in, they have to wait until the queen mother is called.
The emperor fell ill for the past two days, not to mention the concubine Gao Guiqi saw the emperor, even Cheng Qiangong failed to take a step further.
Concubine Gao Gui angrily said: "I don't know why, your grandmother is pretty good to the concubine and prince next to her, how come you are here with our mother and son, so you want to be so indifferent to us?"
Now it’s Xiao Zhuo’s turn to comfort Concubine Gao Gui: "Don’t worry, mother concubine, what should be ours is ours, and no one can take it. How strong is grandmother, the final decision is not the father? Father is interested in me, courtier Anyone who is smart knows which side to stand on."
Seeing him like this, it seems that the throne is already in his pocket.
Concubine Gao Gui felt a little relieved after hearing her son's words.
Yes, even if the queen dowager stops, the throne will most likely be Xiao Zhuo.
When the time comes, the Queen Mother wants to jump out again, I am afraid it will not be easy.
When Xiao Zhuo ascends the throne, he must send the queen mother out of the palace, and it is best to send it to the imperial tomb to pray for the first emperor.
Concubine Gao Guixi smiled so that the fine lines on the corners of her eyes became more visible when she thought of her comfortable days in the future.
"By the way, you have been married for some time, why hasn't Wang's stomach moved?"
Xiao Zhuo curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Mother concubine, you don't know that Wang is jealous, and has no affection or interest. Where would your children enter her yard?"
Concubine Gao shook her head, "This is no good, Wang is your concubine, you left the concubine in the cold, let the concubine
Concubine guards the vacant room alone, those old-fashioned officials will definitely jump out and criticize you up and down. What's more, your eldest son still has to come out of Wang's womb. If you are the first to get the eldest son, you have a better chance of winning. "
Among the princes, only the eldest prince and the second prince were married, and there was only one daughter under the eldest prince's knees, and none of the other princes had heirs.
In order to inherit the throne, on the one hand, the son's interest of the heir will also be considered.
If Xiao Zhuo had the first heir, even if the queen mother was dissatisfied with Xiao Zhuo, he would still consider Xiao Zhuo more.
"In the near future, Xiao Hong and Xiao Yu will marry a wife. If they have a son first, they will also have the confidence to fight you." Gao Guifei said.
"How important is your son? I don't need me to repeat it? I know that Wang family is not what you want, but the most important thing between husband and wife is to respect each other as a guest. You give her a little respect, and she will naturally respect you more. a bit."
Xiao Zhuo had always been well-behaved in front of Concubine Gao Gui, and immediately said: "Erchen took it down."
Concubine Gao Gui took Xiao Zhuo to talk for a while, and then Xiaohuangmen came in to pass the message.
That was the eyeliner she sent to pay attention to the movement of Chengqian Palace, because Chengqian Palace is now closely guarded by the Queen Mother, and Gao Guifei sent a message to Xiaohuangmen for fear of disturbing the Queen Mother, asking him not to do anything these days, just An'an Just do your job as a young eunuch separately. How could he come over suddenly
Concubine Gao Gui was afraid of something important, so she hurriedly announced him to come in.
The little yellow door walked in lightly, "The slave knocked on the noble concubine and the second prince."
Concubine Gao Gui leaned on the yin pillow, and while urging the little palace lady to repair her nails, she lightly opened her red lips and asked, "What important thing do you have to come over and tell me at this juncture?"
Little Huangmen lowered his head and said: "If you return to the empress, the slave is going back and forth. Just now, the concubine Xian asked to see the empress dowager, and the queen mother announced that she would go in and talk. It has been a while now."
"Concubine Xian?" Concubine Gao asked with a frown.
Concubine Gao drew her hand unconsciously, but then she felt a sharp pain at the base of her nails, and she gasped with the pain.
The little palace lady who repaired her nails was so frightened that Huarong was pale, and she threw herself to her knees, begging for mercy.
Concubine Gao looked at the roots of her slightly fucked nails, angrily in her heart, just about to lift her foot to kick the little palace lady.
I saw that the little palace lady had a delicate skin, apricot eyes and a small mouth, and she looked a little bit Juan'er. Concubine Gao's heart became more and more depressed, and she hurriedly called her confidant: "Drag this little palace lady to the palace and send it to the Garment Bureau. She will never be allowed to come out."
The confidante hurriedly responded.
Entering the clothing bureau means that your hands will be soaked in water for the rest of your life, regardless of the cold winter and heat. And once you enter the clothing bureau, you can only stay there for the rest of your life and never come out. This is so cruel to a young girl in season.
The mother looked at the little palace lady sympathetically.
I thought that the emperor fell ill in the past two days and would not come to Yanxi Palace again, so a few beautiful palace ladies were left to wait in front of him. Unexpectedly, he still asked Gao Guifei to dislike him.
It's a pity that such a beautiful girl will have to stay in that dark place for the rest of her life.
The little palace lady's face was ashen ashes, and she was about to faint when she rolled her eyelids.
The mother held her swiftly and dragged her down.
Concubine Gao looked at the obnoxious little palace lady going out, and then returned to her senses and asked Xiao Huangmen, "Did Concubine Xian say anything to see the Queen Mother?"
