"The Queen Mother said it lightly. Now everything is in order for Xiao Jin. Even the refugees who poured into the Imperial City have been properly accommodated. With the support of Chu Huanyan, the situation in the entire Imperial City is stable and everyone has begun to rebuild the houses. ”

Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth, thinking of the various rumors he had heard in the past few days, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"Nowadays, the people praise Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan, but the reputation of my son is getting worse and worse. If this continues, my son will only get further and further away from the position of crown prince!"

Thinking about it now, Xiao Jinzhi clearly pretended to be a dandy in the past, but in fact it was just to numb himself.

If he really didn't care about government affairs at all, how could he handle everything now in such a way that water can't be poured out and needles can't penetrate!

After the Third Prince's Mansion caught fire, he took action several times, but he didn't get any advantage at all.

Queen Wei looked at her son, "Xuan'er, if you want to defeat Xiao Jinzhi, you can't let him lead you, and you can't lose control because of his anger. You have to remember the words of your mother, no matter what he does , As long as you can hold your own, and don't make your father feel disgusted, the throne will be yours sooner or later."

Xiao Rongxuan frowned. His mother had said this too many times, but every time he asked why, she remained silent.

In the past, he might have been able to believe a little bit, but the current situation was so ugly that even the queen mother couldn't protect herself, so how could he be so sure!

"Mother, do you know that Chu Huanyan has been very close to Concubine Xue recently." Xiao Rongxuan said in a deep voice.

Queen Wei frowned, then lowered her expression and said, "So what?"

"How?" Xiao Rongxuan sneered, "Mother, have you ever thought about Concubine Xue's childlessness? What is the purpose of wooing Chu Huanyan at this time? If Concubine Xue and Xiao Jinzhi really form an alliance, with the father's influence on Concubine Xue Do you think Xiao Jinzhi really has no chance of winning?"

"No, it's impossible. Your father will never let Xiao Jinzhi..."

"The important thing is Concubine Xue! Although the queen mother lives in seclusion in Fengyi Palace, if I don't believe it, you really haven't heard the rumors outside. Now everyone in the palace is praising Concubine Xue, and there are even many people He said that my father will soon establish a new queen."

Xiao Rongxuan took a deep breath and continued to speak quietly.

"Mother, I am now working hard to ascend to the position of crown prince, not only for myself, but also for you. If one day, my father really wants to abolish the throne and establish a new one, what should you do? ?”

Xiao Rongxuan's words finally completely broke the calm look on Queen Wei's face just now.

Now she is naturally aware of these rumors in the palace, but she has been telling herself in her heart that they are just rumors and there is no need to believe them.

Even though she and the emperor had not been married for many years, they still shared a common secret. She didn't believe that the emperor would really be willing to hand over the throne to Xiao Jinzhi, but...

If the emperor really makes Qingzhi his queen, what should she do?

Seeing that Queen Wei's expression finally changed, Xiao Rongxuan continued to speak.

"Mother, now that you have fallen into such a situation, and even the power to manage the harem has been taken away, do you really still believe that my father will care about the relationship between you and your husband? Or, in other words, What kind of sisterhood do you still believe in?”

"Of course not." Queen Wei looked coldly. "The so-called sisterly love has been completely wiped out long ago and is gone."

After saying that, Queen Wei looked at Xiao Rongxuan, "You came to see your mother today. What do you want your mother to do?"

"I hope that my mother can summon Xiao Jinzhi to enter the palace."

"Then what?" Queen Wei asked.

Since Xuan'er came to find him and said so much, it was naturally impossible to just hope that she would summon Xiao Jinzhi to the palace.

Xiao Rongxuan's eyes were fierce as he looked at Empress Wei, "For the follow-up matters, the queen mother will need to help her..."

The next day.

The weather has not changed these days, and the people affected by the disaster have made arrangements. After all the problems have been dealt with, it is finally time to rebuild Liangshui Alley.

In the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Jinzhi looked at the folder sent by the Ministry of Works in front of him, which detailed the time and cost required to rebuild Liangshui Lane.

"They are very open-minded. According to the cost of this, I'm afraid Hubu will jump after seeing it." Xiao Jinzhi dropped the folding book in his hand, leaned on the chair and spoke.

"Your Highness, they just think that it is your Highness who goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs to talk about this matter. Even if they want more, it is still up to you to deal with it. Why don't you order the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to negotiate on their own and let them fight? Go." Qin Li suggested.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs are both a bunch of old-timers. Let them discuss it on their own to save His Highness from getting involved and causing a headache.

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, "Although we save time this way, if the two departments are in a stalemate, it will delay the rebuilding of Liangshui Lane."

Although the people affected by the disaster have been temporarily resettled in government offices and other places, it is not a long-term solution after all. We still need to seize the time to build Liangshui Lane so that they can return home.

"Then what if we give them a set time?" Qin Li said again, "Your Highness, you are under the emperor's order after all. Even if you use your status to pressure them, the officials from the two departments will not dare to say anything."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Qin Li, "Some things must be reversed. After all, it involves officials from two departments and important officials of the imperial court. If they are really unwilling to start reconstruction, I am afraid there will be more trouble in the future."

Qin Li scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Then it seems that only His Highness can negotiate."

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on the folding book in front of him again. Before he could speak, a boy hurried in from outside the door.

"Your Highness, someone in the palace sent a message saying that the Queen is unwell and may be in danger of life. Please come to the palace as soon as possible to see her."

Qin Li was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinzhi again.

Life in danger? Isn’t the Queen Empress staying well at Fengyi’s shop? Why is her life suddenly in danger?

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi's silence, Qin Li waved his hand and signaled the boy to step back before speaking.

"Your Highness, at this juncture, will there be any problems?"

Putting aside whether this life-threatening situation is real or not, and considering the relationship between the Queen and His Highness, I am afraid that even if there is really a life-threatening situation, it will not be His Highness who is summoned into the palace, but the Third Prince. .

"Of course there is a problem. If the news is correct, didn't Xiao Rongxuan just enter the palace yesterday and go to Fengyi Palace?" Xiao Jinzhi sneered.

Qin Li's heart tightened, "Your Highness, if it is really the Third Prince and the Queen who are joining forces to do something, you must not go, in case..."

Halfway through his words, Qin Li suddenly froze!
