Dressed as the villain's stepmother

At this time, Jiang Lianzhu did not want to give His Majesty and Liao Xiaoping any unrealistic ideas.

The prince is seriously ill and will not have long to live.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu, the emperor shook his head at him, finally sighed, and sat in front of the prince's bed. Looking at the unconscious prince, he frowned, and his outstretched hand finally fell on the prince's shoulder.

Children are the most difficult thing for parents to part with.

The most miserable thing in history is when a man with white hair sends a man with black hair. Even though His Majesty is a noble, he will inevitably experience this most painful thing in the world.

There are not many sons in the palace. If the prince dies, it will cause countless unrest factors for your majesty, the royal family and even the entire court.

And all these must be weighed by Your Majesty.

No one else could help him at all.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at the emperor like this and took Liao Xiaoping out of the prince's house.

The mother and son walked to the door. Liao Xiaoping, uncharacteristically, did not follow Jiang Lianzhu out of the palace. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the corner of Jiang Lianzhu's clothes.

"Mom, you chose to hide it from me before, so why did you tell me that His Royal Highness was critically ill?"

Looking at Jiang Lianzhu, Liao Xiaoping asked what he wanted to ask the most.

"I didn't tell you about the prince at first because I didn't want you to be sad, but then I thought about it carefully and finally decided to tell you because I didn't want you to have any regrets in the future."

She didn't hide it and told Liao Xiaoping in front of her the truth.

"Mom knows that although you are the prince's companion, in your heart, you always regard the prince as your good friend. I don't want you to miss anyone you care about."

In the past few years, Liao Xiaoping's life was too hard, but now she finally has a friend. She doesn't want to see Dabao sad.

"Mom, since I don't want me to feel sorry, can I let my son stay in the palace and be by the prince's side?"

After listening to Jiang Lianzhu's words, Liao Xiaoping really made up his mind.

"The prince is very important to my son. I hope that I can stay with him longer while he is alive. I also ask my mother to agree to this willful request of mine."

Not long after Liao Yunchuan passed away, he proposed to stay in the East Palace to take care of the prince.

This is very unruly.

But those who are still alive are always more important than those who have passed away. What's more, the prince went to Lihuayuan to comfort him.

"I don't have any objection to your staying in the East Palace, but you need His Majesty's approval for this matter."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't stop him.

She originally hoped that Liao Xiaoping would have fewer regrets in this life.

But this is the palace, not her Lihuayuan. Whether Liao Xiaoping can stay with the prince to take care of her or not is up to His Majesty.

"Okay, Xiao Ping is a good boy. If the prince knows your thoughts, he will be very happy."

Liao Xiaoping was about to beg the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to step out of the room directly.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that I can stay in the East Palace and continue to take care of the prince?"

Liao Xiaoping was surprised.

His Majesty nodded, and after instructing the palace attendants in the East Palace to take good care of Liao Xiaoping, he left him in the East Palace.

Finally, Jiang Lianzhu accompanied the emperor back to the imperial study.

"Mrs. Liao, don't worry, the vial is placed in the East Palace, Gu Ding will take good care of it for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Lianzhu thanked him.

She requested that she go to the royal temple soon to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Then the children would need to be taken care of by others.

Jiang Lianzhu initially wanted to entrust Guzhen Beihou.

Now, Liao Xiaoping stays in the East Palace, which is also a good thing for her.

"Mrs. Liao, Xiao Ping is a child who is pure and enthusiastic, smart and devoted to the prince. Ever since he entered the palace and became the prince's companion, there has been a lot of smiles on Gu's son's face."

The prince has been frail since he was born. Therefore, rather than letting the prince shoulder the important responsibilities of the family and the country, he hopes that the prince will be safe and happy throughout his life.

"Luke also likes Xiao Ping very much. After the prince became ill, many people made secret plans. None of them really cared about the prince's life or death. But Xiao Ping is different. He only sees the prince in his eyes and heart."

"Such a good boy, Gu Xiang can stay with Gu even if the prince is gone."

"...!"

Jiang Lianzhu did not expect that His Majesty would have such thoughts.

She originally thought that if the prince died, Liao Xiaoping, the prince's companion, would be in name only, and he would be able to leave the palace by then.

But she never expected that His Majesty would have the idea of ​​keeping Liao Xiaoping.

"Your Majesty loves you so much. This is Xiao Ping's blessing. However, I am a member of the female class. Liao Xiao Ping is Liao Yunchuan's son. Regarding his future plans, I always have to wait until he returns to Beijing before discussing with him. An answer to His Majesty."

After Jiang Lianzhu arrived in the capital, she had seen too many bloody events.

The third prince and prince Huang Guizhou are inevitably being plotted by others these days. If Dabao really stays with the emperor to educate him, many people will cast their calculating eyes on Liao Xiaoping.

Guns are easy to hide, but arrows are hard to guard against.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't want to watch her son being murdered and lived in fear all day long.

"Okay, there's no rush to do this. You can think about it slowly."

His Majesty was not angry at Jiang Lianzhu's remarks.

At dusk, Jiang Lianzhu left the palace alone.

When she arrived at the gate of Lihuayuan, she found a sedan from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion tied to the gate of the courtyard. She quickly entered the house.

The Marquis of Zhenbei has been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

"Master Hou, I went to the palace today to meet the Holy Spirit. I kept you waiting for a long time. I wonder why Master Hou came to see me?"

"We have some clues about the bombing. I know you are concerned about this, so I will tell you as soon as I find out the news!"

Marquis Zhenbei looked excited and spoke with a red face.

"We found the person behind the house selling black powder in the alley. He was from the Prime Minister's Mansion. This shows that the matter is closely related to Prime Minister Xiao!"

"When the rest is over tomorrow, in the court, I can join hands with the three princes to sue the prime minister and give him a blow!"

Marquis Zhenbei was excited when he spoke, but Jiang Lianzhu was not too excited.

She already knew this.

"Master Marquis, have you found any tangible evidence for these things?"

"We have found some evidence so far, and we know that these things were done by the confidants of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Zhenbei Hou explained to Jiang Lianzhu.

"Master Marquis, the only person you have caught is a steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if he is a confidant of the Prime Minister, when your Majesty comes to court and proves his crime, in the end it will only break one of the Prime Minister's arms. The Prime Minister is the most cunning and cunning person. , if it can’t kill with one blow, there will definitely be an accident at tomorrow’s court meeting…”.
