pet queen [rebirth]

Later, Emperor Xuancheng found out that the reason why the prince promised the Beiman king's staff to send the Zhenyuan army to the Beiman was because the power of the prince's clique had penetrated into northern Xinjiang, and there were even people in the Zhenbei camp.

Of course, the things that made Emperor Xuan Cheng disappointed with the crown prince were not limited to this. The crown prince was not only lustful, but also a little lawless when he was spoiled by Emperor Xuan Cheng. A famous actress is often called by the prince in the teahouse to talk to the prince.

Emperor Xuancheng ordered someone to pry open the actor's mouth, saying that the prince would often speak nonsense and even complain in restaurants.

The crown prince had a long history of burying grievances against Emperor Xuancheng, and he would often say disrespectful things when he was drunk, and now Emperor Xuancheng knew all about it.

Perhaps because the father and son disagreed, Emperor Xuancheng was really disappointed with the prince this time.

He confined the prince in the palace and forbade him to go out again.

The northern barbarians who traveled between the official road and the capital all withdrew overnight, as if they had evaporated from the world.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Beiman, Emperor Xuancheng ordered people to secretly assassinate the Beiman merchants lurking in Beijing, especially the kind of Beiman who looked like they had kung fu and did not look like businessmen. illusion.

Although the northern barbarians retreated in time, many people lost their lives at the hands of Emperor Xuancheng.

Xiao Qian thought that King Duan had other motives for attracting so many northern barbarians to Beijing, but it turned out that the purpose was to frame the prince.

Even besides Xiao Qian, many other people now began to believe that those northern barbarians were really brought into Beijing by the crown prince.

Xiao Qian estimated that even the prince himself was a little confused about this.

The prince was not very intelligent, and Prince Duan had been giving gifts to Xiao Qian frequently recently, and there were already rumors in the court that King Duan had a different intention, so the prince would naturally be worried that his status would not be guaranteed.

It's a pity that he has already fallen into the pit dug for him by Wang Duan.

What really made the prince unable to turn over was an incident that happened in April.

The drought in the south triggered a riot among refugees. Emperor Xuancheng sent troops to suppress it, and the inspectors sent to the south reported back to Beijing that the Tang family had built several manors in the south.

Tang's main family is in the south.

Because many refugees from the south came to the capital, people with ulterior motives even took advantage of the chaos to make up a song, telling the story of Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei.

Although it is borrowing from the past, it is satirizing the present, the refugees and rebels have ulterior motives, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but Emperor Xuancheng kept these words in his heart.

He gradually realized that in the past few years, in order to suppress the queen's mother's family, he had indeed indulged the Tang family too much, so that some people became lawless, and even caused dissatisfaction and backlash from the common people.

As a result, part of the Tang family's manor in the south was confiscated, and Emperor Xuancheng has recently begun to frequently enter and leave the Queen's Yong'an Palace.

The queen's complexion has improved in the past few days, she is elated, probably because many things have gone well, Xiao Qian has time to go to the palace to see her, and her expression is full of smiles.

"The crown prince is now under house arrest, and things in the south are causing so much trouble. The emperor must be disappointed with the Tang family. Qian'er, you should pay more attention."

Xiao Qian knew what the queen was talking about and wanted to persuade Xiao Qian to take another concubine. Xiao Qian didn't want to talk to her about it, so he left Yong'an Palace after paying her respects.

Back at Prince Ning's Mansion, Su Mingmo was walking alone.

There was fine sweat on his forehead, and his whole body was tanned a lot due to always practicing in the yard for the past two days. Xiao Qian didn't want to tease him today, so he went around behind with a handkerchief.

But Su Mingmo seemed to be vigilant. As soon as Xiao Qian approached, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and his face was full of vigilance.

Xiao Qian couldn't help laughing: "Why is Ziyu wary of this king? I only teased you once, and you have revenge?"

Su Mingmo smiled embarrassingly, stood up straight and said: "I'm afraid of hurting the prince, I have no eyes in my fists and feet."

Xiao Qian originally wanted to say that you are a three-legged cat, and I won't be hurt by you.

Just think about it, it's not easy to hurt Ziyu's self-confidence.

Seeing Su Mingmo wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, he raised his hand to take a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

When the two came to the front hall, Xiao Qian asked Sixian to prepare a bowl of sugar water for Su Mingmo to cool down the heat.

While drinking, Su Mingmo said to Xiao Qian: "What do you think about the prince?"

"Everyone thinks that the crown prince's power is over, but it's not always the case. The more this is the time, the less impatient he can be. Father just doesn't like others to pass him by. After this incident, he will only become more and more suspicious in the future."

"I can't do anything else at this time, otherwise it will be self-defeating. I have already told my father that I will not participate in the morning court for the next few days. Is there any place that Ziyu wants to go? It is spring and the scenery is beautiful. I will accompany you You go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers."

Su Mingmo blushed and said, "My lord, don't be joking."

Xiao Qian said solemnly: "What this king said is true."

He wanted to say something more, Sixian came over and said: "My lord, Prince Duan's mansion sent someone over, saying that he is invited to visit the mansion for a talk."

Xiao Qian thought to himself, King Duan had just done a major event in the past few days, and it was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, Xiao Qian reckoned that it was time for him to come to him.

At this time, Duan Wang most wanted to test Xiao Qian's meaning.

If Xiao Qian is willing to help him, then he is a friend, if Xiao Qian does not help him, then he is an enemy, there is no choice.

Xiao Qian also wanted to clarify with him this time.

He had already asked Duan Wang to kill the donkey once, and it was impossible for him to be so stupid as to let him cheat him a second time.

Xiao Qian went to Duanwang Mansion, Xiao Yuanqi was sitting in the main hall waiting for him, saw Xiao Qian coming in, and poured him a cup of tea.

Xiao Qian didn't take the cup of tea, just sat down opposite to him, and said, "Why is Second Brother looking for me?"

"I admit that I have never treated you badly," Duan Wang said with a smile, "You should know that although the Tang family seems to have been weakened by the father, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Prime Minister Tang is still the same. Tang Xiang."

"Even if the prince is punished by his father and imprisoned in the East Palace, who said that he will have no chance to stand up in the future?"

"Of course, this king has the ability to suppress him once, and he can suppress him a second time."

"Let's be honest, apart from the crown prince, among the father's sons, there are only you and me. The sixth brother is still too young. If the crown prince really loses power, it is the best choice for you to follow me."

"Or fourth brother, do you actually have other ideas?"

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Second brother, if I say I have no other ideas, would you believe me?"

"Believe me," Duan Wang said with a brightening of his eyes, "Then the fourth brother is going to help me?"

"No," Xiao Qian said, "I just want to live, and I will take the road that allows me to live."

Duan Wang paused, and said: "How could this king harm you?"

Xiao Qian laughed: "That's not sure."

"You!" Prince Duan calmed down and said, "Do you think the prince will not harm you? With the relationship between the Tang family and the empress's mother's family, he is your biggest threat. You follow this king, and this king will treat you well in the future." .”

Xiao Qian shook his head.

"Then you are going to confront this king?" Duan Wang's expression changed.

"How could the second brother know what I want most?" Xiao Qian stood up, "If there is nothing else, the fourth brother will go back first."

Duan Wang smiled angrily, and said: "Okay, very good, if you have the ability to fight with this king, I will obey you. Unexpectedly, my fourth brother has learned to endure humiliation, and the husband and wife are also cruel. Marry, this king has underestimated you."

"You are wrong," Xiao Qian turned around and said, "I have always been willing to marry Princess Ning. When I entered the palace that day, everyone thought I was going to resist the decree. Don't you know that I am sincerely going to thank you. So I said, second brother I never knew what I wanted most."

"If there is only one way in this world that can win a chance of life, those who want to live can only choose this way and continue down."

Xiao Qian smiled, turned and left Duanwang Mansion.
