In the following days, Tang Mo worked hard to recover every day, and Xiao Zhengting would accompany him when he was free, watching his body trembling slightly in pain and still persevering, his heart was full of distress.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the palace banquet. Today, Tang Mo wore a black dress embroidered with golden beasts, which was cool and dignified. Xiao Zhengting wore the same dress embroidered with golden dragons, which was extraordinarily noble.

Tang Mo deliberately asked people to make couple models, envious of those women.

Xiao Zhengting naturally didn't think too much, he was very happy to be able to wear the same clothes as Mo.

In the brightly lit palace, officials and their family members sat facing each other, silk music was melodious, dancers danced gracefully, and everyone talked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty is here, and the Marquis Protector is here."

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone knelt down and saluted one after another, their voices were loud and loud.

Xiao Zhengting pushed Tang Mo into the hall, his cold eyes looked around at everyone, and his steps were firm and dignified.

Qian Ming and the others stooped to lift the wheelchair to the side of the dragon chair, and sat at the same table with His Majesty.

Xiao Zhengting sat down, his eyes shivering slightly: "Pingshen!"

Everyone was flat, and the officials were extremely surprised when they saw Tang Mo sitting next to Xiao Zhengting.

Speaking of which, apart from the military officer and the prime minister, they haven't seen the Marquis Huguo for about half a year.

This Marquis is a strange person in the capital. He fought against one side at a young age, took charge of the North Wing Battalion, and regained Yuli City. The battle of Yuli City alone made him famous both inside and outside the country.

The women in the official family are even more complicated towards Tang Mo. Because of his existence, their desire to enter the harem has become a delusion.

According to rumors, he dominates His Majesty so tightly that His Majesty will lose his temper if he doesn't return to protect the Marquis Mansion for the night.

And some women give up completely, after all, His Majesty's love for the Marquis of Huguo is in the bottom of his eyes.

Even if they can enter the palace, they can't even be ranked as substitutes, they might as well marry obediently and have children, so that they can feel at ease.

"Prince Zong has arrived."

A loud report sounded throughout the hall, the officials almost exclaimed, and looked at the palace entrance in astonishment.

Today, what kind of wind actually blows Prince Zong to the capital.

Tang Mo frowned slightly, and looked at Xiao Zhengting, wondering how the old prince would suddenly enter the palace.

Prince Zong is the first emperor's compatriot brother. He is around fifty this year and has been quietly staying in his fief.

Only three years ago, the sacrificial priest of the first emperor came once, and he has never been to the capital since then.

Why did he appear before the New Year's Eve?

Prince Zong walked in slowly from the outside. He was tall and thin, his facial features were somewhat similar to Xiao Zhengting's, and his steps were not in a hurry.

All the officials stood up and saluted again, their doubts growing.

"See Your Majesty."

"The emperor's uncle is flat." Xiao Zhengting's eyes were deep, and his tone was cold: "Why did the emperor's uncle enter Beijing?"

Prince Zong took a step forward and raised his head to look at Xiao Zhengting: "Your Majesty, a few months ago, the emperor's sister-in-law celebrated her birthday, and I gave her a gift, but found that there was no reply. I came to find out from many sources that your majesty actually imprisoned the empress dowager." .”

When these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall instantly condensed, the singing and dancing stopped, and the dancers quietly and respectfully exited.

The Queen Mother is under house arrest. All the officials here know about it. Your Majesty has always had a clear grievance. Even the Prime Minister dare not mention the Queen Mother's house arrest, let alone them.

Xiao Zhengting said: "The emperor came here, is he questioning me?"

"Of course not." The prince of the clan raised his head, his cold eyes glowed with firmness: "I want to see the emperor's wife, the emperor's wife has treated me kindly, I want to see her."

Xiao Zhengting swept towards Eunuch Sun: "Take the emperor uncle to visit the queen mother in the harem."

"Yes." Eunuch Sun came to Prince Zong and saluted respectfully: "Prince, follow the servant."

"The minister will leave first."

Before Prince Zong left, he gave Tang Mo a sidelong glance, which was meaningful and filled with disgust.

Tang Mo picked up the wine and drank lightly with disapproval, he didn't care, and it wasn't his uncle.

After Prince Zong left, everyone saw that His Majesty's expression warmed up, and the hall slowly returned to its original atmosphere.

In the palace, Eunuch Sun took Prince Zong to Chaoshou Palace where the Queen Mother lived, took out a token and let Prince Zong go in.

Eunuch Sun didn't go there, but just watched by the door.

When Prince Zong entered, he saw in the small garden, the Empress Dowager was sitting at the table embroidering a silk handkerchief. Her originally round facial features had lost a lot of weight, and even her expression had lost its original color.

Taking a step forward, he said bitterly, "Sister-in-law."

The Empress Dowager's hand holding the needle paused, and when she looked up to see the person coming, her eyes were full of disbelief: "Shida?!"

Prince Zong endured his sadness and bowed: "See the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager put the needle and thread in her hand on the table, stood up and said with a smile, "Quiet down, why are you here?"

Prince Zong raised his eyes, and his eyes became foggy: "I have sent many gifts to the queen mother, but I haven't received a reply, so I know, you and your majesty are having trouble."

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly, and said in a flat tone: "It's more than just making trouble, it's rare for you to come, so sit down quickly."

Sitting opposite her, Prince Zong's expression was full of displeasure: "I have been quietly staying in my fiefdom for so many years, and I have never returned here. I also think about it. As the Queen Mother, you have a noble status and know the life you want. , You should be living a good life. Who would have thought that, if I hadn’t given you a birthday gift, I wouldn’t have known that the emperor’s sister-in-law had such a difficult life.”

He knew that the emperor's wife and His Majesty had been having an unhappy fight in the past few years, but there was no rumor that His Majesty had done anything outrageous to the Empress Dowager.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would use house arrest to deal with the Queen Mother, it is really chilling.

The Empress Dowager burst into tears, and said in a sad voice, "It was my fault. I listened to the fortune-telling advice and caused Zhengji to disappear accidentally. After he was found, he became insane. He blamed everything on me. Over the years, our mother and son had quarreled several times, which were very fierce. At that time, he was almost assassinated by Duke Quan, and Tang Mo passed by to save his life, but he fell in love with Tang Mo. Regardless of everyone's opposition, he was named Marquis Protector, and The North Wing Battalion was handed over to him. This kid is also a bit talented, so I don't want to say anything about it, whoever thought it, whoever thought it, because of him, Zhengting almost even let me, the queen mother. "

After listening to her narration, Prince Zong was so angry that he slapped the table with his palm, and the table immediately cracked: "Damn boy, as a man of seven feet, he is trying to seduce the monarch, so he should be beheaded immediately."

How can His Majesty bear the heart for such a kind person, but his own biological mother, for the sake of an outsider, is really chilling.

Seeing his grief and indignation, the queen mother lowered her eyes and covered her mouth and cried bitterly: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to get rid of Tang Mo after knowing that he was infatuated with Tang Mo, but Zheng Ting found out, and he was angry and put me under house arrest."

"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it." Hearing her sad cry, the clan's son felt as if a knife was piercing his heart, and his tone was concerned; "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you."

Over the years, for her so-called honor, how much she has been wronged.

Prince Zong hated nothing in his life, what he hated the most was that he was not a prince back then, and couldn't give her the life she wanted, and let her live in pain now.

The queen mother wiped away her tears, and gestured gracefully: "Don't mess around, you are a prince, you have your own fiefdom, there is no need to fold yourself in for me. Shida, you have to remember one thing, Zhengting is different now, he It's not the well-behaved and obedient young man back then. Now he is a giant dragon, domineering and ruthless, decisive in killing, once touching his reverse scale, it will cause unimaginable consequences."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know exactly what kind of person he is." Looking around the palace walls, the clan prince said in a deep voice: "If the emperor's spirit in the sky knows that he treats you like this, he will definitely regret pushing him to the throne. "

The queen mother sighed softly: "This is fate, who would have thought that Zhengji would disappear."

Looking at him, the Empress Dowager said with a serious expression: "There were still a few concubines in the palace before. For Tang Mo's sake, he cleared the harem. I think there are still a few children left, so let him be. Whoever thinks, whoever thinks... "

Speaking of the latter part, the queen mother covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and wept, her crying sounded sad, which made people feel distressed.

Prince Zong said in a displeased tone: "Is there anything else, don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I am his uncle, and I will make decisions for you."

At this moment, Prince Zong regretted his promise to his elder brother to stay away from the capital and never return to the capital unless necessary in the fiefdom.

For so many years, he had always thought that people who lived a good life were struggling in hell every day, dying of pain.

The queen mother burst into tears and said: "Those princes, he actually wanted to adopt Zhengji. Think about it, Zhengji is insane now, and he only has three princes. Ruo... Ruo... I don't know how to explain to the late emperor .”

What?These words fell into Prince Zong's ears like thunder from a sunny day, making his brain buzzing.

Prince Zong gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me, he still wants to adopt one of the children to Zhengji. How can he do that? He's crazy."

In the royal family, unless the father dies, the son will never be adopted. This is the rule left by the ancestors.

For a man, Xiao Zhengting was really crazy.

If the emperor knew about it, I'm afraid he would die with regret.

Prince Zong gasped heavily, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, with me around, this matter is absolutely impossible."

"This kid has a bad temper, and now he doesn't listen to anyone except Tang Mo. I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into Zhengting. Now Zhengting doesn't even go back to the palace, and sleeps in the Huguohou's mansion every night. If it goes on like this , How can the royal family have any face to stand in front of the officials and lead the subjects of the world."

The prince of Zong became more and more angry as he heard it, and clenched his fists tightly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you can stay here at ease. I will stay in the capital for a few days and do my best to let His Majesty release you."

"Shida, after all these years, you are still the most caring."

"Sister-in-law, don't say these things. As long as you live a good life, everything I do is worth it."

Once, she was his biggest dream, even if he knew he couldn't have her, he was willing to do anything for her.

Brother Huang knew what he thought of his wife Huang, so in order to prevent him from doing anything out of line, he was allowed to stay in his fiefdom before he died, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing for nothing.

For so many years, he also listened to his brother's words, stayed at his own home peacefully, and rarely came to the capital.

He believed that she was the emperor's biological mother, and that His Majesty was not a cruel person, so he would definitely treat her very well.

After getting the queen mother position she wanted, she will have a very good life.

If he hadn't gotten some unique treasures this year and wanted to play with her, he wouldn't have known that for so many years, her life was worse than death.

Clenching his fist secretly, Prince Zong vowed that His Majesty must release the Queen Mother.

Among them, the most important thing to get rid of is Tang Mo, Marquis of the country.

Without him, my sister-in-law and Your Majesty would not have come to where they are today.

All evil maggots should be cut to pieces.
