Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

The emperor and empress in the palace were chatting enthusiastically, and there was no need for servants to wait on them. Xiao Xiazi, Li Fuhai and others were waiting outside the palace.

Xiao Xiazi raised her eyes and saw that Li Fuhai was looking at her doubtfully, and made a slight gesture of invitation.

The two of them walked to the courtyard of Fengyi Palace, leaving Ziqiu and Xiao Nanzi waiting respectfully outside the palace.

"Eunuch Li is looking for a slave. Do you have any orders?" It was obvious that Xiao Xiazi said this deliberately.

Li Fuhai frowned and asked, "Our family is doubtful. Is it really Caiju who did what happened to Master Qiao?"

"Eunuch Li, are you questioning the Queen?" Xiao Xiazi whispered.

Li Fuhai shook his head, "How dare I question the Queen? I just have a question in my heart. The one who most wants to attack Qiao Xiaochen in this palace is probably not her maid."

Li Fuhai really didn't understand. It wasn't just once or twice that Liang Jieyu offended the Empress. The Empress really praised her every time.

Xiao Xiazi also knew the doubts in Li Fuhai's heart. As long as he was willing to talk about it, it would prove that he was still willing to be the queen.

As the imperial general manager, he is fully capable of taking action against Liang Jieyu, but Li Fuhai really doesn't dare to go against Su Qingyao's wishes now.

"In this palace, people often know people but don't know their hearts. This matter was done by picking chrysanthemums. After all, we, the Queen, don't have the guts to lie in front of His Majesty, right?" Xiao Xiazi said.

Then he added, "Eunuch Li has been serving Your Majesty since he was a child, so he naturally knows Your Majesty better than a slave. Your Majesty handles all matters based on evidence. For some things, if there is no evidence, you cannot just accuse people casually. Of course, if there is evidence, that is not necessarily the case.”

Li Fuhai understood what he said. Yes, if he wanted to attack Liang Jieyu, it would not be difficult, but if he did it so that Emperor Yin De could not see it, it would indeed be difficult.

What Xiao Xiazi said was what Su Qingyao wanted Li Fuhai to know. Since Li Fuhai had chosen to secretly defect to Su Qingyao, he must listen to Su Qingyao's arrangements and not ruin her plan.

Li Fuhai naturally knew this in his heart. He could not afford to offend the Queen now or in the future.

Emperor Yinde and Su Qingyao discussed allowing Chengjue to participate in some court affairs as another test of Chengjue's ability, and now the test has begun.

The next day, Chengjue left the minister's study room and went to the Yangxin Hall to listen to Emperor Yinde and his ministers discussing state affairs.

It was the first time that Chengjue, who was only eight years old, stood next to his father, Emperor Yinde, in this way. He must be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.

Fortunately, the discussion lasted only a short time. In less than half an hour, Emperor Yinde raised his hand to stop the discussion. "Let's discuss this matter after the morning meeting tomorrow. You all can kneel in peace."

"I'm waiting to retire."

When all the ministers were about to leave, Chengjue bowed slightly to Emperor Yinde and said, "Father, I will go and see you off."

After Emperor Yinde responded, Chengjue personally sent the ministers out.

Those who came to discuss matters today were the prime minister and officials from the six ministries, including Gu Wenkang and Ji Xingwang. They were pleased to see Chengjue who was now sensible and knowledgeable about etiquette and was about to step into the court. They also watched Chengjue grow up. ’s child.

"Masters, please go slowly." Cheng Jue nodded slightly and said very politely.

"It's windy outside. Your Highness, Second Prince, please go back quickly." Gu Wenkang returned the greeting, said something to Chengjue, and finally led everyone out of the Yangxin Hall.

Chengjue returned to the hall again and saw Emperor Yinde closing his eyes to rest. When Emperor Yinde heard Chengjue's footsteps, he opened his eyes, took his hand, and asked him to sit on the chair next to him. , "Jue'er, you heard clearly what happened just now. There was a heavy rain in Guangnan City. I am thinking of sending two officials to provide disaster relief. Who do you think is more suitable?"

There was no one waiting in the hall and everything was quiet. Chengjue knew that the real test had just begun.

"When I go back to my father, I would like to know which adults went to provide disaster relief during the heavy rains. If there are some who have done a good job, my father can let them go again."

Emperor Yinde nodded slightly, obviously satisfied, and took out a pamphlet from his hand, "This is a pamphlet of all the disaster relief officials and their achievements since I came to the throne. Take a look."

There was some fear in Chengjue's eyes. Emperor Yinde smiled slightly when he saw this, and even opened the booklet for Chengjue himself.

Only then did Chengjue take a serious look. This result was really like what his mother said. There was one person who had the best achievements, Qin Cainu's brother Qiao Fa.

Especially in the years when Qin Cainu first entered the palace, Qiao Fa usually went out to take care of the king's worries when there were any errands in the court. Even Prime Minister Gu Wenkang and Cheng Jue's uncle Ji Xingwang were ranked among Qiao Fa's. later.

But since that incident, the Qiao family has aroused the wrath of the Holy Spirit, and Qiaofa's opportunities to go out and share your worries have become much less.

"In my humble opinion, my father should give Mr. Qiao another chance."

"Qiao Fa?" Emperor Yin De asked with raised eyebrows.

Chengjue quickly lowered his head in fear, "Yes."

Seeing Chengjue's fearful look, Emperor Yinde laughed, no different from when he had just come into contact with government affairs when he was a child, and when he replied in front of his father, he actually laughed, closed the sleeves of his dragon robe, and sat in a comfortable position.

"Jue'er, don't be nervous. Father wants to hear your reasons."

"My son, I have only one reason, and that is that state affairs are always the most important thing. Mr. Qiao is capable of doing this, and can relieve the father's worries and help the people."

Emperor Yin De nodded. Perhaps children's thoughts are really very simple and pure, but it is because of this simplicity that Cheng Jue's heart is always concerned about the people.

"Father understands Jue'er's thoughts. I will discuss the matter with the ministers tomorrow morning."

As soon as the father and son finished talking about business, Li Fuhai from outside reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Liang Jieyu and the fourth prince are asking for an audience."

"Let them come in." Emperor Yin De said. Seeing Cheng Jue want to get up and leave, he directly pressed his arm to prevent him from getting up.

The door of the palace opened, and Liang Jieyu took Chengxuan's hand in with a smile on her face, "Concubine, please see your Majesty, please see His Highness the Second Prince."

"My son, I will see my father and my second brother."

Chengjue returned the greeting slightly, "Empress Liang, the younger brother of the Fourth Emperor."

Emperor Yinde felt quite uncomfortable when he saw Chengxuan holding Liang Jieyu's hand tightly. How long had it been since then? The two of them really looked like their biological mother and son?

"My concubine heard that your majesty had discussed state affairs with all the adults for a day, so she personally made some ginseng soup to relieve your majesty's fatigue."
