The Queen was a little surprised. She was very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's decision just now, but her prince finally returned to her side. Before even saying a few words to her, the Queen Mother sent her to support him.
"Over the years, the Ai family has valued Bai Yujing so much. Why do you think the Queen thinks so?"
The Queen Mother had a profound look on her face, and the Queen immediately held her expression. She thought about this problem countless times, but in the end she just thought it was because Bai Yujing lived in the palace for a period of time when she was young and made the Queen Mother happy, so she regarded him as her own. people.
"The royal family is orthodox, and there are differences between concubines and concubines. When His Highness was born, why did the Ai family ask the emperor to give him the title of inheritance? Naturally, they hope that he can inherit the throne and inherit the Dongling family."
The Queen Mother now looks like a kind grandmother, and she will vividly demonstrate the painstaking efforts of the Emperor and her grandson, "The Queen also knows that there are many stubborn old officials in the court who question the late emperor's last wishes and feel that the emperor is not worthy of the throne. "
Everyone knows that if you want to sit in that position, you have to have a lot of blood on your hands.
Emperor Dongling also survived the brutal battle for the throne, but the influence of those princes was so intricate that it was impossible to eliminate them completely. The previous rebellion of King Qi was the best example.
"The Ai family doesn't want the emperor to be criticized anymore, so someone must be the executioner."
When the Queen Mother's words reached this point, the Queen suddenly woke up.
So, the reason why the Queen Mother is so indulgent to Bai Yujing is to use his sword to clear the obstacles in the court so that her prince can ascend the throne in the future and sit back and relax?
The Queen almost burst into tears. She had always misunderstood the Queen Mother!
The Queen Mother's hand has been gently placed on her shoulder, "I have wronged you all these years. Your Majesty has a romantic nature. Fortunately, Cheng'er follows you and is upright."
"With the words of the Queen Mother, I am worthy of my concubine."
"The emperor's illness came out of the blue, and it must have something to do with Bai Yujing. He was killed on the battlefield a few years ago, and his prestige cannot be underestimated. Therefore, as long as Cheng'er can defeat the barbarians this time, he will be appointed as the crown prince. No one dares to comment!"
When Bai Yujing was mentioned, the queen's eyes showed a bit of coldness.
"Whether those rumors are true or false, we can no longer let him live!"
The queen actually believed in her heart that nothing in this world was groundless, and Bai Yujing must be behind the sudden uproar.
He also wants to compete for reserves?
What a daydream!
At this time, the queen reluctantly looked at the sleeping Emperor Dongling on the couch. When she thought of the emperor's attitude towards Bai Yujing, which could be said to be responsive to every request, she was worried that he had planned to let this bitch's son get away from the beginning. Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?
He may be shameless, but the entire royal family is shameless!
People who don't know, think that the emperor is very harsh on Bai Yujing, and will be whipped for the slightest mistake, but in the eyes of the queen, that is another kind of whip!
Children in this world are useless if they are not beaten.
Bai Yujing has become so cruel and ruthless, but then she thinks about it, wouldn't it be gratifying if her Cheng'er also had such skills?
"It's natural. When Cheng'er becomes the crown prince, Bai Yujing won't be able to keep him." The queen mother read the scripture again, and a smile finally appeared on her lips.
She knew that the knife that fell on Bai Yujing's neck must have been held by her own Cheng'er!
Killing the traitorous minister was another of his achievements!
The queen withdrew with excitement. She did not look at Emperor Dongling on the couch again, and the silence in the bedroom quickly returned.
Xiao Junlan slowly walked out from behind the screen and looked at the direction the queen was leaving, "My queen will not be so stupid in the future."
"It's natural. Cen Yurong is sensible enough to die before the Ai family deposes her. This time, you have to keep your eyes peeled."
The Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at him, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
…
As night fell, when Bai Yujing returned to his residence after interrogating the civil servants, he found a man in civilian clothes waiting there.
"You don't know how to change your clothes when you meet this prince. You really don't know the etiquette!"
Xiao Cheng, who should have left Beijing long ago today, actually held his chin and looked at Bai Yujing covered in blood with disdain. The person opposite him also looked disgusted when he saw that he was not sitting still, "What have you learned while traveling abroad?" ?”
Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng immediately crossed his arms with his chest and smiled, "I drank a lot of wine and ate meat. I even pretended to be a commoner and was kidnapped into a bandit's den. I also visited the flower house... ahem, understand the sentiments of the people!"
The corners of Bai Yujing's mouth couldn't help but stiffen. Looking at Xiao Cheng's high-spirited look, it was simply incompatible with his tough appearance!
I wonder if the queen would be so angry that she would vomit three liters of blood if she knew that the prince she was so proud of had turned into a scoundrel in just a few years?
"If the queen asks in the future who is the culprit who turned you into this, remember, it is Gu Junqian!"
"What's wrong with Doctor Gu? He lives so freely and freely. Isn't it bad to be like him?"
"You want to be the emperor, what do you want to be comfortable with?" Bai Yujing couldn't help pouring cold water, but Xiao Cheng curled his lips, "Since you want me to be the emperor, why do you stop me from doing meritorious service? I still want to see Can you use the tricks you learned in the bandits' den to fight against the barbarians?"
In the palace, when he passed Bai Yujing, the guy whispered, "Don't be so anxious to die."
So he immediately had someone dress up like himself and leave the capital. In fact, he went into the Bai Mansion and drank tea for a day.
"Don't you think it's strange too? Otherwise, with your temper, you wouldn't be able to pull back ten donkeys!"
"My royal grandmother, who has always been lukewarm towards me, is suddenly eager to ask me to make meritorious deeds. If something goes wrong, there will be a monster."
I remembered the way the Queen Mother planned everything for him in front of his mother. Whether she truly loved him or not could be seen in her eyes.
At that time, from the look in the Queen Mother's eyes, he felt that the Queen Mother really loved him miserably!
If he hadn't clearly remembered that he fell down in front of the imperial grandmother when he was a child, and her eyes didn't even move, he would have almost believed her lies!
Xiao Cheng touched his chin, "Speaking of love, the Imperial Grandmother hurt Uncle Xian Wang to the core."
"The palace walls cover too many people's eyes. You were originally blind. After living outside for so many years, you are finally no longer blind."
"I didn't want to come back at first, but I was afraid that the queen mother would offend you and you wouldn't be able to forgive her. Tell me, what should we do next?"
Everyone has a mask, the Queen Mother has one, Xiao Junlan has one, and so does Xiao Cheng.
Who would have thought that the two people who seemed to dislike each other in the palace would have such a good personal relationship.
Everything is just for others to see.
Bai Yujing looked at Xiao Cheng with an expectant look on his face, without any sense of being targeted.
"Since someone wants your life, you must die in front of him!"
"..."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Cheng suddenly realized it and nodded in agreement, "In terms of ideas, it's really your fault!"
With a crash, Bai Yujing picked up the teacup and smashed it.
Xiao Cheng laughed and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again, "Did you save me back then just because you knew that we were actually brothers?"
