This was the first time in his life that the third prince spent the night in Qingning Palace.
To him, this place has always been strange and far away. Even the Queen Mother, whom he should call his grandmother, has never felt like a real grandmother. However, when he heard Chu Kuan's news and rushed here, he found that no matter whether it was his grandmother or his father, when they quarreled, they were no different from ordinary people...
Of course, even this kind of quarrel between ordinary people was the first time he saw it after he arrived at Banshan Hall, because he and the eldest and second princes were not on the same level and could not quarrel, and his mother and concubine were the quietest people. After arriving at Jiuzhang Hall, he was often pulled by Lu Sanlang, and he saw more red-faced disputes.
When he entered the Ciqing Palace, Lu Sanlang did not shy away from letting him see the open and covert struggles among the various tutors in the Eastern Palace. Over time, he became more accustomed to it.
Therefore, when he first stepped forward to persuade him, although he was a little uneasy, he was not too worried because Chu Kuan was vague and did not explain the specific reasons. Until his father said that sentence that made him feel like he had fallen into an ice hole. He never thought that his father, who always respected the Queen Mother, would show such a side.
The Third Prince lay on the floor in a daze, thinking of how he had thrown himself on his father's thighs in shock and begged desperately, thinking of the Queen Mother's cold face that seemed to have no blood, thinking of his father prying his hands apart and letting him stay in Qingning Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, thinking of how he had followed Yuquan in a daze to help the Queen Mother wash and dress, and then sent her to bed...
But at that time, Yuquan told him to sleep on the floor in front of the bed to accompany the Queen Mother for one night. Of course, he knew that in this warm Qingning Palace, even if the floor in front of the bed was flat, it would be very warm, and as a grandson, this was also filial piety, but he agreed with his mouth, but in his heart he felt unbelievable and incredible. Until this moment, he was still awake and had no desire to sleep.
Even so, the Third Prince did not dare to speak. If he disturbed the Queen Mother, who was already in a bad mood, and he did not know what to say to comfort her, wouldn't that be a disaster? Just when he was in a depressed mood, he suddenly heard a soft sigh, followed by a voice that was much softer than usual.
"Sanlang, are you asleep?"
The third prince was stunned. Although he knew he should agree immediately, he felt as if his throat was blocked and couldn't speak. The next moment, the question turned into a laugh again.
"As expected, he is still a child. It's his first time seeing such a scene, but he still managed to fall asleep in the end... No wonder, he has followed your father since he was a child, so he must have learned a little bit of his indifference. Speaking of which, what's the big deal? No matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than your father's dislike of those old ministers when he first ascended the throne, and he said in front of them that he would drive them out of the court sooner or later. Wasn't he afraid that they would hear it?"
"No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than the fact that he rashly started to change the senior personnel at the beginning of his reign, which coincided with the rebellion of King Ye, and people used the banner of deposing him and establishing King Lu? No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than that after I hanged King Ye, I immediately went to poison King Lu, causing him to lose his only brother?"
