"Grand Eunuch, what do you mean the matter is undecided? Do you want us to stay in the palace forever?"

The one who spoke out was the Seventh Prince, a rebellious man and a member of Ouyang Yu's faction.

The Grand Eunuch was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "This is an order from above, and our family doesn't know it either."

The seventh prince looked in the direction of the fourth prince and said, "Is there something fishy about this matter? Otherwise, why haven't we been allowed to see our father for the last time?"

Su Qingcheng couldn't help but look at the seventh prince in front of her. He was young and full of childishness. If she saw it right, the boy beside Ouyang Yu had just left him.

It seems that I was instructed by someone...

"Seventh Prince, we are just a messenger." Faced with the Seventh Prince's anger, the Grand Eunuch still looked kind and cheerful.

"You!" The Seventh Prince became angry, pointed at the Grand Eunuch and stood up.

"Seventh brother!" Ouyang Yi said sternly, "The Grand Eunuch is an old man next to my father. You must not be rude!" Su Qingcheng noticed that the corners of Ouyang Yu's mouth, who had quietly witnessed all this happening, slightly curled up.

"Fourth brother, what qualifications do you have to serve me? My father has given an oral order to pass the throne to you, but the current situation... Could it be that fourth brother has done something to disgrace my father and Dong Ling?" The seventh prince Looking down at the kneeling Ouyang Yi, he said sarcastically.

After hearing his words, everyone who could no longer wait began to whisper, especially the prince and prince on the third prince's side.

"What Seventh Brother said makes sense. If there are no problems, why not just announce the passing of Fourth Brother?"

"Is my father's death related to my fourth brother? I heard that my father did not make a will, and the father-in-law who passed the decree was recommended to the palace by my fourth brother."

"It's too suspicious for you to say that. The most taboo thing in Dongling is the killing of brothers and fathers. This is a big taboo for the fourth prince!"

Everyone's talk became more and more exaggerated, and even Su Qingcheng couldn't bear to listen. She looked sideways and saw that Ouyang Yi, who was at the center of the rumors, looked as usual, as if he hadn't heard it.

At this moment, Su Qingcheng suddenly understood why her brother would choose to support Ouyang Yi. If he was a person with bad conduct, even if he saved his brother, his brother would definitely repay him in another way.

Because Ouyang Yu does have the qualities that his brother admires and has the temperament of a king, that's why he is willing to give up his freedom and stay with him for so many years...

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince raised his lips and continued to make things difficult for Ouyang Yi: "Fourth brother, we are all one family. If you have really done anything to disgrace the country and our brothers, please tell us."

Ouyang Yi remained silent, still staring at the tightly closed door in the hall.

The prince standing behind him could no longer listen. The fifth prince waved his robe and stood up to confront the seventh prince: "Seventh brother, what do you mean? Everything has not been decided yet, so you can't wait to make the fourth brother admit it." What?"

The seventh prince was not timid and said loudly: "If the fourth brother hadn't tampered with it, why didn't he directly declare the decree for him to inherit the throne now?"

The fifth prince said: "How do you know that the fourth brother is responsible for not announcing the decree? It is taboo to speculate on the Queen without authorization!"

The Seventh Prince was at a loss for words and did not want to talk to the eloquent Fifth Prince. He turned around and asked the Grand Eunuch: "Where are the people from the Imperial Hospital? Shouldn't they give us an explanation? Why did the father suddenly pass away!"

He first questioned the fourth prince, and now he arrogantly questioned the Taiyuan Hospital. For a moment, he lamented the domineering nature of the seventh prince.

But Su Qingcheng could see clearly that Ouyang Yu was behind all this. What exactly did he want to do...

"What explanation do you want?" A majestic female voice came from the side hall, and a graceful and luxurious woman walked out.

She was wearing a golden silk pomegranate pleated long dress, and the mourning clothes were draped on the outside, faintly revealing a few big red peonies in full bloom.

The hem of the skirt is light and drags more than three feet. The skin like gelatin is looming.

The Luo belt lightly ties up the voluptuous waist, further highlighting the frail beauty. The headband is in a flying bun, gold tassels hang down the shoulders, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin outlines the dignity.

Bright red eye shadow, with a little gold powder on the corners of her eyes, sparkling in the sun.

The red lips are light, and the peony-shaped print on the forehead is perfectly outlined.

"See the noble concubine." Everyone bowed their heads.

The third prince and the fourth prince lowered their heads even lower and said, "See my mother's concubine."

"Everyone, please get up." The woman's eyes lingered on Su Qingcheng intentionally or unintentionally, and then moved to the Seventh Prince, "Old Seventh, just now you said you wanted an explanation, but I would like to ask you what explanation you want."

Under the woman's gaze, the seventh prince felt a little guilty and swallowed nervously, saying, "My dear concubine, that's what I mean..."

"Then what do you mean! I haven't summoned you for a long time, and now I'm even more rude and wanton!"

The imperial concubine’s voice was majestic, and the Seventh Prince shuddered subconsciously: “Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

The imperial concubine moved her gaze to Ouyang Yu with a meaningful look in her eyes: "Old Qi, you are not usually such an aggressive person. I, the empress, and the ministers are discussing important matters in the side hall, but you are busy outside."

As Ouyang Yu's mother-in-law, she naturally knew the virtues of her son, and her displeased eyes were about to see through Ouyang Yu.

"Okay, you all get up."

Another woman walked into the side hall. Compared with the imperial concubine, she was not as gorgeous. The mourning clothes on her body covered the luxurious clothes completely, but the hairpin on her head revealed that the woman was extraordinary. identity.

Su Qingcheng met her at the state banquet, Queen Chunde of Dongling.

"See you, Queen." Everyone saluted again.

Different from the domineering concubine, the empress is dignified and elegant, and her movements reveal everyone's aura: "No need to be polite, the king's situation cannot be disclosed to everyone yet. Before everything has been discussed, everyone can only Staying in the palace temporarily."

She waved her hand, and the Grand Eunuch came forward to her side. The Queen Mother said: "This is the temporary residence we have just arranged for everyone. The Grand Eunuch will announce it later. The palace maids and eunuchs in costumes and all daily necessities have been arranged there. It’s all arranged.”

Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but wonder if this was really arranged?

From palace maids and eunuchs, to clothing and supplies... In addition to the princes and princesses, there were also princesses and consorts like her. There was something wrong with so many people being arranged in such a short period of time...

She subconsciously looked in the direction of Ye Tantai, but her sight was blocked by the Queen.

"Hello, Queen." Su Qingcheng said calmly. The Queen in front of her was none other than the eldest princess's mother-in-law and Su Qingcheng's nominal aunt.

"Good boy, raise your head and let me see."
