A thrilling open and covert struggle gave the people in Kyoto a few more days to talk about. Everyone is paying attention to how high-spirited King Zhenning and the future princess are, a perfect match. No one talks about what King Jing'an looks like now, as he has almost disappeared.
There was a "bang", and the door, which had been closed for several days, was pushed open by the queen with a frightened and angry face. The oncoming breath was deathly silent, and the despair was so cold that it was suffocating. The queen shuddered involuntarily. She ran to the bed in a few steps and was stunned for a moment.
Since Dongfang Zhuo fainted in the palace a few days ago and was diagnosed by the imperial doctor and sent back to the mansion to rest in peace, mother and son have never had the chance to meet. The queen was worried about this and sent people to greet her every day. The news she got was that Dongfang Zhuo had refused to take medicine these past few days, had not had enough soup, and had locked herself in the room all day long, ignoring no one!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the queen would have found it hard to believe that a person could undergo such a big change in such a short period of time! These are completely different people!
The Dongfang Zhuo in front of her had messy and dry hair, a pale complexion, and was extremely haggard. He looked even thinner than before. Is this still her son Dongfang Zhuo? Where has that handsome, energetic young prince gone
She was frightened and hurt in her heart, and she called out several times in a hurry: "Zhuo'er? Zhuo'er? How are you? Please call after my mother."
. "
Dongfang Zhuo opened his eyes slightly with a dull expression. He glanced at her sadly and then closed them quickly. The cold look in her eyes made the queen tremble unconsciously. Her son, a proud and filial son, had never looked at her like this? !
The queen gritted her teeth, turned around suddenly, and asked sternly: "How do you serve me?!"
Her voice and expression were stern, revealing a strong sense of cruelty, as if she wanted to eat people! Outside the door, a row of servants standing with their heads bowed saw the Queen getting angry. They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and trembled non-stop. Their heads were almost buried on the ground and they didn't even dare to breathe out.
"People have become like this, and they still don't report it? If something happens to the prince, how many of you can afford it?!"
Zhao Xun, the personal guard, replied in panic: "If you tell me back to your Majesty, it's not that you guys know about it and don't report it, but... it's that the prince has ordered not to report it to your Majesty, otherwise... you will be killed without mercy!"
Zhao Xun's words were like a sap, hitting the Queen's heart hard. What did he mean? Are you still blaming her for placing an informant, Wang An, beside him? If she didn't put him first in everything, why would she put so much thought into it? But how much can Zhuoer understand her painstaking efforts
There was a sadness in the Queen's heart, her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, she slowly sat down on the bedside, and said in a deep voice: "Open the door and window, and get out."
The people below quickly and silently retreated.
The closed doors and windows were opened, and dazzling light suddenly poured into the room. With the bleak coolness of autumn, Dongfang Zhuo's eyelids moved slightly and almost invisible.
"Zhuo'er, my mother has cooked your favorite bird's nest soup. How about getting up and eating something first?" The queen advised him softly, and brought a spoonful of bird's nest soup with a faint aroma to his lips.
Dongfang tilted his head, still closing his eyes and saying nothing.
The Queen's hand holding the porcelain bowl trembled uncontrollably.
In the silent room, there was a sudden "clang" sound. Fine porcelain and carefully prepared food splashed all over the floor. The hot air was thick, and it quietly exuded an alluring aroma.
.
The queen's emotions that she had been holding back for a long time suddenly burst out, and she shouted sharply: "Who are you showing this to? Do you think she will come back to you if you act like this?"
Dongfang Zhuo seemed not to hear anything, and turned around slightly, facing the bed sideways.
"The dignified King Jing'an of Sheng Kingdom, the eldest son of the royal family, has become so depressed just for a woman that he can't get for the time being. If I were her, I would never choose you!"
The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over and her words were a little incoherent. The son she had carefully cultivated for more than twenty years was so vulnerable. It's just a woman. Can she really have such great power that she can make him abuse her in every possible way until she becomes inhuman and loses the will to live? !
No, this is absolutely not okay!
Dongfang Zhuo's closed eyes suddenly opened. He turned over and sat up, and said in a cold voice: "The queen is right, I am so useless, how could she like me? No matter how big or small, my mother must arrange it herself." , Zhuo'er's more than twenty years have been in vain!"
When he said the last sentence, the coldness in his words froze the warmth that had just floated in the air into ice in an instant!
The color of joy that just appeared on the Queen's face immediately faded away! Her eyes widened in shock. Is this still her filial son? "Is Zhuo'er questioning the queen?"
Dongfang Zhuo's face darkened, "Did the son-in-law make a mistake? Or is the mother accustomed to scheming every step of the way in the harem, and now she doesn't even let the son-in-law off?" His eyes were stubborn and angry, clearly unwilling.
The queen's anger soared into the sky like a fire, and she stepped forward and used all her strength to slap Dongfang Zhuo's face with her palm, shouting angrily: "You are outrageous!"
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and red marks instantly appeared on Dongfang Zhuo's thin cheek. The two of them were stunned. For a while, the room was extremely quiet, and they could only hear each other's heavy breathing, one after another.
The queen's eyes suddenly turned red. She took a deep breath and forced back the surging tears! He walked to the side and sat down, calmed his breath, and said: "Back then, I was about to give birth, and Concubine Liang became pregnant. But in your father's eyes, he only saw the inferior concubine! He I went to her palace every day, completely ignoring me. It took me three days of pain before I gave birth to you! Everyone thought that my life was over, but I was lucky enough to survive.
! "
The cruelty in her tone made Dongfang Zhuo look up at her involuntarily. The queen mother in front of her had red eyes, but she was full of energy and showed no sign of weakness.
"Not only do I want to live, but I also want to live longer than that bitch!" The queen sneered: "Zhuo'er, your father has been partial to Dongfang Ze since he was a child. You are obviously the eldest son, but you are not as favored as him! Why? "
Dongfang Zhuo's face darkened!
"The mother and son are called concubines. How can they be treated any worse than us? They clearly have evil intentions and covet the big position! She is only the daughter of a third-grade civil servant, but she dares to compete with me? I want them to know that you, Dongfang Zhuo, are talented He is the only candidate to inherit the throne!"
Dongfang Zhuo looked at his mother, but was speechless. He knew that his mother had urged him to read through encyclopedias and work hard to learn the ways of governing the world since he was a child. How much thought and effort was spent on it, and only he knew best in his heart the ups and downs. As the eldest son of the royal family, he always has an excellent and favored younger brother behind him, which is undoubtedly the biggest threat! He has always been compared with Dongfang Ze, and his father's partiality has indeed been there for a long time. This was especially obvious when Concubine Liang was alive. But... no matter how much the queen mother plots, she should not plot against the woman he loves the most! That woman was the pain of his life!
Thinking of this, the bones of his clenched hands crackled, and the two most important women in his life seemed to tear him apart. Pain hit his chest, he lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.
The queen couldn't bear it, and finally stepped forward and hugged him gently, "Zhuo'er, everything the queen has done is for you! The prime minister has married Dongfang Ze, and now he is getting more and more important in front of your father. You gained power, but what about you? But because of Li Su's matter, you got into such a situation with the regent. Do you regret it when you watch him inherit the throne and kill us, mother and son?"
Dongfang Zhuo's dry lips moved slightly, but no words came out.
The queen added: "Who didn't admire and praise you for your marriage to Li Su? Unfortunately, someone still came to sabotage it! What is he afraid of? Isn't he afraid that you will join forces with the regent and threaten him?!"
Dongfang Zhuo was startled and cried out: "Mother! What do you mean by this...?"
The queen's face was cold, "Do you think that a prostitute can really do that thing? Yu Linglong... is just an outcast!"
Dongfang Zhuo was speechless, and his face was as pale as snow from the shock.
"Packing drugs to frame people, buying murderers to kill, such a huge conspiracy, risking the execution of nine tribes, how can Yu Linglong alone be able to do it? I feel that there must be someone else who is the mastermind
! "
"But she has confessed!" Dongfang Zhuo shouted.
"She has to recruit. If she recruits, she can still save her daughter. If she doesn't recruit, she will only cause trouble for the whole family. Even if she goes to jail, she still can't escape death!" The queen looked at him steadily and sneered, "Li Su The purpose of being wrongly accused and then killed was to put you at odds with the regent! There is only one person who can benefit most from this matter... "
Dongfang Zhuo's eyes widened, "No, it's impossible..."
"Although there is no evidence now, I will not let it go like this! Zhuo'er! You have to cheer up! As long as he and Su Li don't get married, you will have a chance! One day, you will sit on the throne and dominate the world. Everything in this world belongs to you, let alone a woman?"
If the mastermind who killed Li Su was really him, then... Su Li must not marry him! Dongfang Zhuohuo stood up and shouted excitedly: "That's right! If the mother hadn't reminded me today, the child would have almost missed his life! I've already made a mistake once, and I can't make a mistake again!"
The queen finally showed joy on her face, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Good boy, you finally understand!"
Dongfang's nose felt sore, and his eyes that had been dry for a long time could not help but feel a little dampness and heat. His mother was far more far-reaching and deeper than he had thought! But does he really have a chance to get her again
"You have to remember that Sheng Kingdom is yours! In the future, the whole world will be yours! One day, you have to let Su Li understand that you, Dongfang Zhuo, are her best choice!"
The Queen's decisive voice was like a branding iron, burning deeply into Dongfang Zhuo's heart. At this moment, he finally made up his mind. Only by seizing the supreme power in the world could he win back everything he had lost!
Princess Mingxi's marriage lasted for more than half a year, with three ups and downs that touched people's hearts. Finally, the dust settled. Dongfangze won the heart of the princess, and the Prime Minister's Palace and Zhenning Prince's Palace were officially married. This matter caused considerable concern in both the government and the opposition. Shock.
After that, for several months, there were rumors about how Princess Mingxi and Prince Zhenning fell in love when they were working on a case. It was said that it was both romantic and touching, and thrilling and exciting. This sentence couldn’t be more apt to describe it. Who wouldn’t envy such a relationship
Suddenly, thousands of boudoir girls in the capital were extremely envious and disappointed in their hearts. They were jealous that Princess Mingxi could find such a handsome and flawless husband. What was disappointing was that they had no chance at all.
.
She was originally a popular person in front of the emperor, and became the future concubine of King Zhenning. Among the famous ladies in the capital, the name of Princess Mingxi was popular in the whole city, and no one could match her.
Su Xiangru was even more proud of the spring breeze. Guests came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate and congratulate him every day, and he was too busy to handle it. His concern for Su Li is also increasing day by day, and he greets her from time to time and sends some valuable items to show his love. In the matter of Yu Linglong, Dongfang Zhuo's temperament is bound to break up with Li Fengxian, and the marriage between Su Li and Dongfang Ze at this time will undoubtedly further consolidate his position.
In sharp contrast to this are the Regent's Palace and Jing'an Palace. After Li Fengxian left the Golden Palace to interrogate the case, he made a statement on the second day saying that he was feeling unwell and did not go to court again.
Su Li felt sad and sour in her heart. She had wanted to visit the Prince Regent's Mansion several times, but when she arrived at the door, she stared blankly at the door and did not dare to take even half a step up the steps. She didn't know how to face her father and Yao'er after experiencing so many changes. Perhaps deep down in her heart, what she was more afraid of seeing was the increasing decline and desolation of the Regent's Palace.
Time passed silently, the late autumn air was bone-chilling, and it had been overcast for many days. It was finally time for Su Li to move out of the Su Mansion.
Mo Xiang and Wan Xin were busy going in and out, directing Zhang Luo, placing the things that needed to be taken to the new mansion one by one on the carriage, and they cooperated very well.
Originally, the things in this small courtyard were dilapidated and there was nothing that could be brought to the princess's mansion. But ever since Su Li was given the title of Princess Mingxi, there has been an endless stream of people coming to give them gifts, ranging from food and entertainment to expensive antiques and ornaments. It was so packed that there was almost no room to turn around. Su Li had a headache looking at it. Fortunately, the princess's mansion was about to be repaired, so she didn't have to worry about having no place to put it.
This morning, the weather finally cleared up and became warmer, which lifted my mood.
Princess Mingxi's large-scale moving team set out from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Princess' Mansion.
The princess's palace is located in the south of Kyoto. More than a dozen carriages, dragging mountains of items, slowly walked along the streets from west to south, attracting countless people to stop and watch, and were amazed.
He could have waited until everything was settled before moving out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Su Li was already tired of Mrs. Su's ugly face, which was filled with false and loving smiles all day long, and it would make her upset to look at her for a moment longer. Therefore, he did not stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than half a day and said farewell to everyone in the mansion. Su Qin's always sharp expression turned unusually dark today, as if she was preoccupied. Su Li had no time to think too much. She knew that if she stepped out of this door today, her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion would only become weaker and weaker.
.
The large group of people went first, followed slowly by Su Li's soft sedan. When approaching the South City Gate, it was like a long queue blocking the middle of the street. The road, which was not wide, was now tightly blocked. Both sides were filled with people watching, whispering to each other, and from time to time. Stand back and watch.
Faintly, I seemed to hear the voice of Mo Xiang's excited argument.
Su Li couldn't help but wonder, if so many things were not sent back to the house for resettlement, why would the little girl be delaying here? The soft sedan could no longer move forward, so she had to get off the sedan and slowly walked through the crowd towards the place where the incident occurred.
"You little girl, stop being so arrogant! Our general's patience is limited! We don't have time to waste time with you here! Let your people step aside and make way!" A man who looked like a military general stood in Moxiang. In front of him, he was scolding severely. Behind him was an infantry team with a valiant military appearance and a neat formation. They held their heads high and their chests high, solemn and majestic.
Sitting on the leader's horse was a young man with dark black soft armor and a cloak fluttering in the wind behind him. He exuded a cold and wild aura, and his cold and resolute face was full of arrogance and arrogance. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and frowned slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his temper and not be bothered by the trivial matters in front of him.
Mo Xiang's round face turned red, and tears of grievance were already shining in her eyes, but she replied stubbornly: "Sir, you are being too bullying! We were obviously the first to reach this fork in the road, and as soon as we turned the corner, the convoy If you can get through, you can go home smoothly, but as a result, everyone is stuck here, and no one can get through now!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of the way quickly! Don't blame me for being rude if you don't move!" The general's hand had already pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"You!" When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why he is right, but he still uses his power to bully others! Mo Xiang was obviously very angry and was about to cry.
Su Li's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but frown slightly, and went to the Princess's Mansion to settle down. Mo Xiang obviously couldn't deal with these reckless men. There were more than a dozen carts of things, all of which were heavy. The road was not spacious, and there were people on both sides. Even if they were all evacuated and the carriages moved aside, half of the street would be taken up. It was impossible to change the direction. .
The opponent was very arrogant, with such a large formation, and the meaning behind his words was that he wanted all the convoys to retreat without any room for maneuver. Who is this person? So arrogant! She had entered the palace several times, and it seemed that among the officials, she had never seen such an arrogant military commander. Su Li thought in her mind, could it be... him
