Views:

After Emperor Hongjia went to court, he went directly to Qilian Yuran's Guanyong Palace. When he arrived at Guanyong Palace, Qilian Yuran was pruning flowers and plants in the garden. When he saw Emperor Hongjia, Qilian Yuran greeted him with a smile, " Your Majesty, why are you here so early today?"

Emperor Hongjia walked to Qilian Yuran and said helplessly, "There are many things going wrong in the court today, so I wanted to come and see you."

Listening to Emperor Hongjia's words, Qilian Yuran said incomprehensively, "If it's because of the prince's matter, haven't Yan'er and Lao Si already solved it?"

As Emperor Hongjia spoke, he took Qilian Yuran's hand and walked towards the bedroom, "Just like this, I felt confused, because today many ministers said many bad things about the prince back then, as if he was It was intentional, but the news we saw yesterday was not like that."

Listening to Emperor Hongjia's words, Qilian Yuran patted him on the shoulder, "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe it's really an accident?"

"It would be great if it was really an accident, but I know that this was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately. How can outsiders know some of the news that I have blocked." Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran with a look of helplessness. Open your mouth.

Seeing Emperor Hongjia's expression, Qilian Yuran could only ask the maid to prepare today's breakfast. She usually had breakfast very late when she had nothing to do. On the one hand, she was waiting for Xuanyuan Yuzhen's arrival, and on the other hand, I feel like I'm not hungry.

"Why haven't you had breakfast yet?" Emperor Hongjia said distressedly as he looked at the breakfast prepared by the maid.

Qilian Yuran looked at Emperor Hongjia and shook his head helplessly, "It's not that I haven't had breakfast, it's just that I'm used to the fourth child accompanying me. Occasionally, that girl Ning'er will come over to join us."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Mother and concubine, my son and I are here to eat again."

When Emperor Hongjia looked up, he saw three people walking side by side. When they saw Emperor Hongjia, they saluted respectfully together.

"Fourth, you came just in time. How could something like this happen to the court's IQ today? Haven't Yan'er and the others already dealt with it?" Emperor Hongjia looked at the uncertain Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said, "Is something wrong? What accident happened?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Emperor Hongjia and said helplessly, "It is indeed an accident, and this matter also involves Jingxuan and Yan'er, that's why Jingxuan is so angry."

As Qilian Yuran spoke, he looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said curiously, "Why is He Yan'er involved? What happened?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran's helpless look, "I don't know what happened, I just know what Jing Xuan said when he came to see him angrily yesterday."

"What did he say?" Qilian Yuran looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said seriously, "Is it possible that he doesn't want to marry Yan'er anymore?"

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Qilian Yuran's expression and said dumbly, "That's not the case, but if I don't care about the throne, I will no longer help the prince from today on."

"How could it be like this? Wasn't everything fine before?" Emperor Hongjia was also surprised when he heard Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words. "The news we saw should have caught the hearts of those ministers. Why?" Those ministers even spoke out against the prince in court."

"I think it's because of what the queen did to Yan'er? That's why Jingxuan stopped."

Although Xuanyuan Yuzhen didn't know what the queen said to Qingyan, he could feel Murong Jingxuan's anger at that time. She had never seen such Murong Jingxuan before.

What made Murong Jingxuan so angry must be that the queen did something terrible and caused Qingyan to be greatly wronged, so Murong Jingxuan acted like that.

At this time, the maid came to report that Qingyan and Murong Jingxuan were here. When hearing the news, Emperor Hongjia immediately let them enter the palace.

Qingyan didn't expect that Emperor Hongjia would be here, but she took advantage of her and bowed respectfully to them.

"Yan'er, what happened yesterday?" Qilian Yuran said and walked to the side and took Qing Yan's hand. "Did you suffer some great grievance from the queen?"

Hearing Qilian Yuran's words, Qingyan immediately hugged her, and even Qilian Yuran could clearly feel the trembling in her body, "Mother, you said that the information I worked so hard to investigate was actually revealed. The queen threatened to kill me, what do you think I should do?"

Emperor Hongjia, who was listening to Qingyan, also looked incomprehensible, "Yan'er, what did you just say?"

Qingyan wiped her tears and looked at Emperor Hongjia before kneeling down, "Father, you must make the decision for your son!"

Emperor Hongjia looked at Qingyan and didn't know how to speak for a moment. He could only look at Qilian Yuran with blank eyes. Qilian Yuran helped Qingyan up as he spoke, "Yan'er, tell me. , what happened, if it is really the case, not to mention the father, the mother and concubine will protect you even if they fight to get rid of the position of the imperial concubine."

Qingyan looked at them, wiped the tears carefully, and said as if she had been greatly wronged, "Yesterday, I was summoned by the Queen. We had a good chat at first, but later I don't know if it was because Erchen said something wrong. What's the matter, to let the queen threaten my son, who has worked so hard to help my fourth brother, and really has never asked for the position of queen... How could the queen do that to me?"

Listening to Qingyan's words, Qilian Yuran frowned, "Yan'er, what do you mean by the position of queen?"

"The queen promised me that if I married the prince, she would grant me the position of queen. However, I have already been engaged to Jingxuan, but the queen still treats me like this. If Yan'er hadn't been so smart, I'm afraid she would have died. Kunning Palace." Qingyan spoke with sobs, "Mother, if the fourth brother has no intention of taking the throne, I really will not help the prince in the future."

After listening to Qingyan's words, Qilian Yuran looked at Emperor Hongjia as he spoke. Emperor Hongjia looked at Qilian Yuran and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

He knew the Queen's character very well, especially when it came to the throne, but since she had her own paranoid ideas, it was not surprising at all that she would have the idea of granting the throne to Qingyan.

"Yan'er, don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you when the time comes. How do you think this matter should be handled?" Emperor Hongjia said and looked at Qilian Yuran.

Qilian Yuran said impatiently, "I don't care about this matter, Your Majesty, how you will deal with it, but as long as it involves my Yan'er's problem, even if the Queen does not, I will not take it seriously, otherwise she will Does Xu Shiwan really mean that I am easy to bully?"

At this moment, someone came outside the door to report that His Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.
