The queen didn't know what kind of mood she had when she returned to Kunning Palace. Thinking of what the imperial concubine said just now, she felt frightened. She never thought that the date with Su Qingyan would actually push the prince to the throne. This point.
If she hadn't wanted to kick Su Qingyan out of the meeting, or asked for it like that, maybe she wouldn't have reached this point.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter. What the Imperial Concubine said may be a lie to you and we don't know." The maid looked at the lost Queen and said comfortingly, "After all, His Highness the Fourth Prince has always been on the side of the Crown Prince. If he rashly chooses to seize the throne, no one will believe it."
The queen shook her head helplessly after listening to the maid's words, "That's because you don't understand the character of the fourth child. Naturally, I cannot understand the character of the fourth child. Under such circumstances, if the fourth child really wants to seize the throne, I’m afraid there are probably more people on his side.”
After the queen returned to Kunning Palace, she saw the prince's figure standing not far away. After seeing the prince's figure, she felt inexplicably sad.
If I had known earlier, I would have regretted it today.
"Mother, where have you been?" The prince saw the queen and went up to him with a tired look on his face, "Mother, I just heard they said that you went to find the concubine. Why bother? This matter was all our fault in the first place. It’s useless no matter who you look for.”
Listening to the prince's words, the queen felt sad again, "Prince, have you ever complained about your mother?"
The prince looked at the expression on the queen's face, supported her body and walked into the palace. Then she ordered her servants to prepare hot tea and snacks, "Mother, I did resent you at first, but after all, you are My son’s mother and concubine, I can’t do anything about such a thing.”
The queen listened to the prince's words and clapped his hand in annoyance, "I'm sorry that the prince is the queen. If it weren't for the queen, maybe the fourth child wouldn't have chosen to seize the throne."
The prince looked at the queen and shook his head helplessly, "Mother, you actually know better than me. In the heart of my father, who is more important to me and the fourth son? If it weren't for the title of the eldest son, I think the position of the prince would be a stalemate. Not mine."
"Nonsense." The queen looked at the prince and said with a serious face, "You are the worthy prince. From now on, the country of Toga will also be yours. Your health is almost healed, and the queen mother will not allow you to think about it."
"Mother." Looking at the expression on the queen's face, the prince still looked helpless. He thought of what Xuanyuan Yuzhen said in the court today, "Mother, the fourth child is planning to seize the legitimate son. It is indeed because of you, but We also need to know that when the fourth child helped me, it was because he did not want to see the throne fall into the hands of the second brother."
Listening to the prince's words, the queen didn't know the original situation. At the beginning, Xuanyuan Yuzhen had no intention of seizing the legitimate son. After all, Xuanyuan Yufan had always been eyeing the throne, so the person around the prince who could be trusted most was Xuanyuan Yuzhen. Now that Xuanyuan Yuzhen is planning to seize the legitimate son, all the previous best Favorable conditions are prepared for him.
"Prince, if that doesn't work, the queen can think of other ways. After all, this matter is very important to us." The queen looked at the prince and said seriously, "At least we have the entire Xu family behind us. , your grandfather will definitely support you."
The prince looked at the queen and shook his head helplessly, "Mother, I cannot force the throne. I just hope that my mother is safe, and my grandfather and the others are safe. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets." …”
"The Queen Mother will not let you die." The Queen interrupted the Prince harshly. She held the Prince's hand and said seriously, "Prince, you have to believe the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will never let you get down from this position. Queen Mother After giving birth to you, you were the mother's only hope.
Looking at the expression on the queen's face, the prince was unwilling to say anything? The reason why he came to see the queen today was to get rid of the position of prince, but now looking at the expression on the queen's face, he couldn't say the words when he spoke.
The woman in front of him is his mother-in-law, the mother-in-law who gave birth to him and raised him. Since all of this is what the mother-in-law wants, so what if he works hard to fight for the throne
After comforting the queen, the prince left Kunning Palace. Looking at the scenery outside Kunning Palace, he was distracted for a moment. Thinking of all his previous actions, he felt sorry for the queen. After all, everything the queen did was for him.
Even if he were to impose such conditions, wouldn't it be for him
However, marrying Su Qingyan should probably be impossible. After all, the entire Diqiu City already knew about Murong Jingxuan's proposal to marry the General's Mansion.
However, even so, since you already want to give it a try, Princess Leyi probably won't mind using other means.
In the final analysis, she is just a female figure.
***
Su Qingyan happened to be in Qilian Yuran's palace when she heard the news. Qilian Yuran looked at the expression on her face and didn't know what she was thinking.
She was naturally very clear about what happened between Ding Shuqi and Xuanyuan, especially since Emperor Hongjia trusted her very much. If Qilian Yuran told Emperor Hongjia about this matter, Emperor Hongjia would definitely believe it even if there was no evidence. of.
"Yan'er, what are you thinking about? Ding Shuqi's matter or Xu Shiwan's matter?"
Listening to Qilian Yuran's words, Qingyan looked up at her with a smile, "Mother, I am naturally thinking about the imperial concubine. I can't imagine that the imperial concubine will definitely come back and join you on the 10th."
"Oh!" Xuanyuan Yuzhen said with great interest, "Why did Yan'er say that? Yesterday we were blackmailing Uncle Ninth Prince not to help the prince. Could it be that the imperial concubine turned around as if she wanted to seek refuge with the mother-in-law."
Murong Jingxuan's lips curled up after hearing Qing Yan's words, "Xiao Yan'er, your idea is naturally excellent, but are you really sure that the imperial concubine will come back to join the mother-in-law?"
Listening to Murong Jingxuan's words, Qilian, Yuran and Xuanyuan Yuzhen both looked surprised. On the contrary, Xuanyuan Yuzhen was the first to speak, "Jingxuan also thinks that the imperial concubine will come to seek refuge with the mother-in-law?"
Murong Jingxuan looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Qilian Yuran and nodded seriously, "That's for sure. I believe that the noble concubine will definitely come back to seek refuge with the mother-in-law, not because of anything else, but because the mother-in-law is now the most beloved woman around the father."
Qilian Yuran listened to Murong Jingxuan's words and said with a look of confusion, "So what?"
When Qingyan looked at them, she said calmly, "We just threatened Uncle Jiu Wang yesterday. I think Uncle Jiu Wang must have told the imperial concubine about this matter, and the imperial concubine must have weighed it in her mind and knew that the concubine must have done the same. If you know about this matter, since your mother and concubine also know about it, why didn’t your mother and concubine tell your father? There is only one answer." Qingyan paused and then continued, "The concubine must be thinking that this is her mother's death. The opportunity given to her by the concubine is an opportunity that can change her destiny."
