The queen obviously did not expect that the prince could say such words. She looked at the prince and was speechless for a moment.
Her heart was indeed not with Emperor Hongjia, and she also knew that she did not exist in Emperor Hongjia's heart at all, otherwise she would not have chosen to believe what Qilian Yuran said when something like that happened again.
Even if those things never happened between them, he would still believe Qilian Yuran.
And her heart had long been filled with despair after Xu Yao's death.
When thinking of Xu Yao, the queen felt a dull pain in her heart. She didn't know about those things back then, but he didn't even give her a chance to explain.
Is he really still the same brother Xu Yao who held her in the palm of his hand
In other words, he was destined to fight her to the death since he came back.
"Mother, did I say that I was wrong?" The prince looked at the queen and said calmly, "I know that you and your father are not in love."
The queen looked at the prince and said helplessly, "Prince, my mother wants to ask you a question?" Looking at the prince's eyes, the queen continued, "Do you and the prince fall in love?"
Listening to the queen's words, the prince was speechless and didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. Looking at the prince's expression, she knew that the prince had already figured out the reason.
He patted the prince's hand and continued, "Prince, there is no so-called love in the harem and the court. They are all just for profit."
The queen's words left the prince in silence. He thought for a moment and then slowly spoke, "What the queen said makes sense, but my thoughts are too childish."
The queen still looked at the prince with a gentle smile, "Prince, the reason why the queen is telling you this is because Concubine Shu told the queen that the imperial concubine wants to harm you."
Seeing the unbelieving look in the prince's eyes, the queen continued, "But now that I heard what you said, the queen thought that maybe Concubine Shu wanted to sow discord between me and the imperial concubine."
"What is the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine?" The prince looked at the Queen and said seriously, "Hasn't the Imperial Concubine already had a bad relationship with the Empress?"
The queen looked at the prince and shook her head, "Maybe the imperial concubine has her own difficulties, but now the fourth child is helping you in the court. As long as you say something nice in front of the fourth child, maybe he can help you marry. Luo Yixin.”
When he heard this name, the prince frowned. When Emperor Hongjia raised this question in the court this morning, he was still rejected by Luo Guancheng. But now if he really wants to marry Luo Yixin, I'm afraid he can only This goal can be achieved through the help of others.
"Mother, what happens after I marry Luo Yixin and become a concubine?" The prince looked at the queen and said seriously, "Can I really get the military power in the hands of General Luo?"
The queen looked at the prince and shook her head, "Prince, after you get the military power, who can you hand it over to? Our Xu family is a civil servant, and the only generals who support you are General Luo and General Su. Think about it, you have this part of the military power. What’s the use?”
Listening to the queen's words, the prince looked puzzled, "Then why does the queen want me to marry Luo Yixin as the concubine?" The prince seemed to have thought of something and said, "Concubine, I understand."
The queen looked at the expression on the prince's face and patted his hand, "Prince, you just understand."
***
Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Yufan sitting aside and said with a smile, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Concubine Shu with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. I'm doing very well recently. I wonder why Concubine Mother came to see me?"
Xuanyuan Yufan still likes Concubine Shu very much. For some reason, he always feels that Concubine Shu has an inexplicable attraction to her, as if the Concubine Shu in front of him is his biological mother.
"What can I do?" Concubine Shu looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face and smiled awkwardly, "I heard from my sister that you really want that position."
Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Xuanyuan Yufan was speechless. He did not expect that Concubine Yi would tell Concubine Shu about such a thing.
Seeing the expression on Concubine Shu's face, Xuanyuan Yufan nodded seriously, "Yes, I really want that position."
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Yufan and nodded with satisfaction, "Your mother-in-law and I are close friends. If you want that position, I will definitely help you."
Xuanyuan Yufan didn't understand why Concubine Shu would say such things. Logically speaking, she should help Xuanyuan Yuhui, but why would she help him
"Mother Concubine, although I don't know what you mean, are you really willing to help me get the throne?" Xuanyuan Yufan looked at Concubine Shu and said seriously, "What should you explain to the fifth brother?"
Concubine Shu looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face, walked to her side and held his hand.
She now wants to tell Xuanyuan Yufan that he is her biological son, and Xuanyuan Yuhui is Yi Fei's son. She is naturally willing to do her best for everything his son wants, but if this is the case, it will destroy understand the master's overall plan.
"You don't have to worry about Lao Wu." Concubine Shu said and let go of Xuanyuan Yufan's hand, "I will naturally let him help you."
Xuanyuan Yufan thought of Xuanyuan Yuhui's character and said disdainfully, "Concubine, do you want fifth brother to help me? But it's not like you don't know fifth brother's character. Why would I need such a waste to help me. "
Seeing the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face, Concubine Shu raised the corners of her lips happily, "Second brother, don't be deceived by the illusion. He is my son and he is not as simple as you think."
Listening to Concubine Shu's words, Xuanyuan Yufan still looked unconvinced, "Concubine, I'm sorry, I can't believe what you said."
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Yufan, then took out something and put it in his hand, "With this token, you can ask Lao Wu to see if he is really what you said?"
Looking at the token engraved with "Dream" in his hand, Xuanyuan Yufan didn't know how to make a decision for a moment. Although he really wanted the throne, and if Concubine Shu could help him, it would be great.
"Second brother, if you really want the throne, go for it and I will help you." Concubine Shu looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face and said seriously, "Don't think too much about other things."
Xuanyuan Yufan looked at the expression on Concubine Shu's face and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Concubine Shu and said respectfully, "Thank you very much, Concubine Mother. If I can get the throne, the first person to thank will definitely be Concubine Mother." .”
Concubine Shu looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yufan's face, smiled and raised the corners of her lips, "Second son, if after you get the throne, my mother-in-law has only one wish, and that is for my mother-in-law to leave here."
