Two years later, Midsummer.

The palace in the suburbs of Beijing, Langfeng Garden.

The summer heat was unbearable, the emperor moved to Langfengyuan to escape the heat, accompanied by the queen, accompanied by princes and relatives, the king of Yan sat in Yanjing, and Xiao Shen assisted in government affairs. The memorials on military and state affairs that are difficult to decide are passed here, and the emperor will make a decision.It was obvious that he valued the King of Yan, and the emperor also took His Highness Tang Dai, the Sixth Highness who was proclaimed the King of Yongxing County by Jin last year, by his side, and commented on him with the memorials, which was also very important.Regarding Li Chu, no one knows exactly what the emperor has in mind, but he can't be allowed to delay any longer. On the way to Langfengyuan, some people whispered that the palace in the suburbs of Beijing is not only here, why the emperor insisted on staying in Langfengyuan, a little further away Fengyuan rest couch?

Empress Yuan died in Langfeng Garden in the past.Looking at things and thinking about people, the emperor has not been here for several years, but now he wants to come, I am afraid that there will be no holidays, and the deadline is approaching.

Langfengyuan is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with high mountains and steep waters.There was a rain in the morning, the mist was thick with grass, and everything was empty, just like a clear and beautiful Jiangnan water town.Living here, with an open mind and a peaceful mind, without feeling the passage of time, Tang Yu was leaning on the window to read the post, and suddenly the door was gently opened, and a waiter came in, and whispered: "Your Highness, it's almost noon, it's time to rest."

The servant named Chi Zai was forced in by Yan Xun, who was deprived of his privileges two years ago, as an internal response, so as not to lose contact with the Central Palace.However, humans are not birds and beasts, and once tamed, they obey their masters. No matter how clever and alert Chi is, he knows the truth that one servant should not serve two masters. He needs to find a stable and long-term backer, and the queen he chooses is the queen.

It's almost noon?so fast?Tang Yu looked at the clepsydra in the hall, put down the pen, washed his hands in the copper basin that was offered by the pool, and ordered someone to put away the copybook she copied, and then went out.Langfengyuan imitated the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, stacking stones to manage water, so beautiful is beautiful, but Tang Yu had no time to look at it. She walked towards the pool and asked, "Did the mother eat?"

Chi Zai said: "Your Highness has never eaten, and set up a food table to wait for Your Highness."

Hearing this, Tang Yu quickened his pace, and Chi Zai hurriedly followed.As she walked in a hurry, the foot bells tied to her ankles jingled, and before anyone arrived, the sound was faintly transmitted to the main hall.The queen was sitting on the couch, her figure was as tall as a green bamboo. Hearing the sound, the queen winked around, and the palace people filed in and out, presenting delicacies.Although it is a temporary palace, its regulations are the same as those of a forbidden palace. Ice basins are placed in the four corners of the palace to cool down the heat.When Tang Yu came over, the food was warm and suitable for the entrance.After eating and eating, the queen picked up the copybook and read it carefully.

Tang Yu was sitting next to the queen, and there was some gap between them. She sat down and leaned against the queen as if she had no bones in her body. She was much more lazy and nostalgic than two years ago—this trick After trying countless times, the queen said to her several times, but with little effect, she had no choice but to treat her as a kitten who couldn't leave her master.Right now, the kitten came over again, the queen ignored her, looked at the copybook, slightly curved her lips and praised: "I have made great progress through hard work." When she is in a good place, when she grows up, her strength will keep up.

Tang Xi rested her small head on the queen's lap, shook her head and said, "My son still needs to work hard." Two years ago, she realized that the queen had something to hide from her. She never asked, but she never let go.Paper cannot contain fire, and so is secrets, there will always be clues revealed, and she has already guessed what the secret is.Therefore, she felt that the queen did not deliberately hide her. What kind of expectations parents place on their children can be deduced from the way of raising her. Since she was enlightened in school, the queen has been strict with her studies, and she often mentions the empress Sejong, the queen's father. The intention is actually very obvious, but when she first entered the palace, she got into a corner, thinking that she was the cannon fodder for the reserve, so she was kept in the dark.

To be a master, you need to endure hardships.She came here for the summer vacation, and she didn't have the schoolwork burden of Wenhua Palace, but she was afraid of wasting her time, so she seized all the time to study. Right now, the queen praised her. Although she was happy in her heart, she was not half proud.Sensible children are always lovable. The queen put down the copybook and looked outside the hall. The sun was shining, the sky was as clear as washing, the branches and leaves were fresh, and the slippery road after the rain should be completely dry.

The queen said softly: "The combination of work and rest can last for a long time. Your sixth elder brother sent someone to send some hunted hares yesterday, and he will go to the mountain about today. You might as well go and have a look with him." Tang Yi had been studying in the palace half a year ago. Riding and shooting, there is a royal hunting ground near Langfengyuan, guarded by soldiers, Tang Dai loves his younger sister very much, she sends her confidants to accompany her, nothing will happen.

Tang Yu promised that after posting her name, her body will become healthier day by day, and proper exercise is still necessary, so she doesn't want to be a delicate and sick beauty.Hunting, to change clothes, the palace staff carried the army into the hall, walked a few steps, the shoulder was rubbed by the person behind, and almost fell - Lonicera looked flustered, hurriedly approached, breathing disorderly: "Your Highness, Yongxing The county king has been poisoned, and he has lost his life."

Six...six brothers?Poison?How could it be... Tang Teng sat up from the couch, his mind was blank.Her concept of family affection is very weak, and she has always known that being in the emperor's house is full of dangers, but the king of Yongxing County treats her well. She remembers this kindness, which must have some feelings, and she suddenly faced the bloody word "death" , She felt sad and frightened at the same time, with mixed feelings, she froze in place for a moment.

Tang Xi thought close, but the queen suddenly thought of the depths, and there was a bigger crisis lurking behind it.The matter of hunting in the mountains was stranded, not only that, the queen ordered Chi to follow Tang Yu every step of the way, and she must not leave the palace for half a step today, and the queen wanted to go there before the Yanju uniform was changed.After taking a step, the cuff was grabbed by someone, the queen knew who it was without turning her head, and said flatly: "The occasion is not suitable, and it is not too late for you to go after the ins and outs are clear."

The scene of the crime is bloody, chaotic, and dangerous.The queen thought that Tang Yu was concerned about her elder brother, but in fact she cared about the queen even more. Prince Yongxing's biological mother, Concubine Zhong Wang, was ill and stayed in Beijing to recuperate. .Tang Xi refused to back down and insisted: "My son will go with you." She looked up at the queen, her eyes were full of eager tenacity and sincerity. This tenacity and sincerity are hard to see in the eyes of children, and it is inexplicable that people feel Peace of mind.It's just that this peace of mind is fleeting, the queen looked down at her, but smiled: "What can you do in the past? Just stay well."

Perhaps the queen's words were unintentional, but it was like a punch hitting Tang Yu's immature heart, slamming her awake.She was too young to do anything, and something urgent happened, so she couldn't accompany the queen mother, couldn't share her worries with her, and even tired her of taking care of her.Before the small umbrella was opened, there was a strong wind and rainstorm. When will her wish to protect the Queen from the wind and rain for the rest of her life be realized?I didn’t feel it in my previous life, but I only hated myself for growing too slowly in this life. It turned out that I wanted to grow up for a person. It was like a colorful candy.

Tang Yu lowered his head sadly, let go of his hands, and said in a low voice: "My son is in the palace, and I won't go anywhere. Don't worry, the queen mother."

Seeing her depressed mood, the queen had no time to comfort her and left in a hurry.The murder of the prince is no small matter, especially the king of Yongxing County who is involved in the throne, but she knows who did it, so she is worried about it elsewhere.Along the way, Liandong explained things in detail - since entering Langfengyuan to escape the summer, the king of Yongxing County dealt with the emperor's political affairs every morning, and took a nap in his own hall in the afternoon. After the death of King Zhong, he grew up much more stable, and Don't sleep too much, you will definitely get up in one or two hours. Today, the servants waiting outside the dormitory guessed the time, and waited for a long time without hearing the summons. They were surprised, and boldly pushed the door in. Unexpectedly, the body of the king of Yongxing was already dead. Cold and stiff, with purple lips and dilated pupils, the appearance of death is no different from that of the three princes who died of poisoning in the past!

The queen sneered, there was no flexibility in this method, relying on A Qi's last words, Yan Xun really did whatever he wanted, A Qi missed him until his death, but he only cared about himself.Troubled times require heavy codes. If Yan Xun succeeds to the throne, the people and the country will only have to suffer, and there will be no ears of wheat to enjoy.A few years ago, when Ah Qi passed away, the emperor was broken, and Yan Xun wanted to fish in troubled waters to take advantage of the chaos to seize the throne, and killed three princes one after another. If you want to, choose Yan Wang to support.Right now, he couldn't sit still anymore, he couldn't wait anymore, and repeated his old tricks, poisoning the king of Yongxing County, forcing the emperor to appoint King Yan as his heir, so as to establish the foundation of the country.

Yan Xun's thoughts, the queen can grasp firmly, she had already guessed that he had such a trick, and then conspired with Xiao Shen, Ming repaired the plank road and secretly plotted Chen Cang, the king of Yongxing County was just a cover-up to confuse Yan Dang from the beginning to the end.Yan Xun thought that the emperor had lost a son, and there was only one son and one daughter left under his knees, so he would definitely choose a son to take the throne, and it must be foolproof.After two male emperors, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty increasingly looked down on women, and Yan Xun did the same. In addition, Tang Yu's biological father had rebelled, so he never thought of dealing with Tang Yu.Is the emperor as ordinary people think?

Although the emperor is lingering on the sick bed, he keeps a close eye on the affairs of the court. He doesn't kill Yan Xun, and doesn't get rid of the Yan party. Just because he agreed to Aqi's last wish at that time, it doesn't mean that he favors King Yan.When King Yan first entered the palace, he had deep thoughts and gloomy eyes, he was not a kind person, and he was threatened and used by the Yan Party.At that time, the royal family surnamed Tang will have rare good fruits, and the emperor will become a sinner through the ages.The king of Yongxing County passed away, and the emperor wanted to make a decision, but he was not without a choice. The balance in his heart was very stable, whether to pass it on to King Yan or to Tang Yu, I am afraid that he is already weighing it now.

But when it comes to weighing, if someone speaks, it may shake the emperor's thinking.Xiao Shen restrained the King of Yan in Yanjing, far away water is hard to put out near fire, the empress intends to do it personally.And so on, the empress has already calculated in her heart countless times, she does not panic, she draws it slowly, the only thing she is worried about is——

"Your Highness—!" With an urgent call, the queen stopped and followed the sound, only to see Xu Jiujiu, the emperor's valet walking in short steps.The place under his feet was the stone bridge leading to the king's dormitory in Yongxing County, but Xu Jiujiu was behind him. The queen passed him and looked at the palace in the center of the layout of Langfengyuan in the distance. Good feeling.

Xu Jiujiu was sweating profusely, panting, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty fainted after hearing the news of the county king's death. At the county king's place, Prince Chu and several adults have gone to deal with it. Your Majesty..." Xu Jiujiu hesitated He was very embarrassed, looked around again, and then said in a low voice, "Look at it, servant girl, it's not good."

The queen's lips turned pale suddenly, and her heart tightened suddenly. The thing she was most worried about finally came.

The emperor came here to escape the summer heat. Liu Duo led five thousand personal guards to escort him. Bo Yu's [-] Luan guards went to the mountain to practice as usual half a month ago. It takes three days to travel between Langfengyuan and Yanjing. In the suburbs of Beijing, the nearest army is still two days away.If the emperor goes away now, and accepts her advice to make Tang Yu succeed to the throne, and the edict is promulgated, Liu Duo's five thousand personal guards will not be escorting——but forcing the palace.
