That's right, I'm the girl who hides in the golden house

===========================

"They really don't take me seriously. They dare to speak disrespectfully to me in a large court. Uncle Emperor, this is provoking our dignity!" Huo Ying cried in front of King Xiao, exaggerating the cause and effect , How aggrieved and aggrieved.

After he finished crying, Xiao Wang leaned on the stool and looked at him, squeezed his chin, and said, "No, you never told me if you lost a fight before." Huo Ying had such a good face. still know.

Huo Ying's weeping face deformed for a moment, and he had to wonder if Qing Tianliang was cheating him.

Xiao Wang asked again: "Someone taught you?"

Huo Ying cracked her mouth and admitted in a low voice: "Ah...um."

Xiao Wang smiled: "Who is it? There is someone around you who is so sensitive to the situation? He just wants to remind me that I am being targeted by the big family."

Huo Ying raised her head, more surprised than Xiao Wang: "What, he actually wanted to remind you through me? Then why did he ask me to go to Shanghai Palace at night?"

"Shanghai Palace?" Xiao Wang sat up straight and asked softly, "Qing Tianliang?"

Huo Ying was taken aback, touched her head in embarrassment, and lowered her head.

He had vowed before that he would fight for the throne and that he would not give up, but in a blink of an eye he listened to his competitor and planned to go to him to ask him to avenge himself.

Huo Ying suddenly felt regretful, he shouldn't have been bewitched by Qing Tianliang for a while.

It's just that he didn't expect that King Xiao not only didn't tease him, but said seriously: "Go, you can do what he told you, and if you can't do it, come to me."

Xiao Wang's reaction made Huo Ying feel even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the emperor also thinks that Qing Tianliang is more suitable for the throne than me, and even asked me to work for him?"

The expression should be as wronged as it is, in this palace, he is closest to the emperor's uncle, he has never been so dependent on Concubine De, but his emperor's uncle never seems to have seriously considered him.

Xiao Wang knew what he was thinking from his expression, sighed, and said: "Your father didn't mention Qing Tianliang before he died, but told me to take good care of you. Do you think your father didn't think about it?" You? He put you by my side to let me teach you how to judge the situation. Since you were a child, I have taught you how to think twice before acting, how to draw inferences from one example, and take one step to see ten steps. But you have grown so old that you have not learned anything Uncle, to put it bluntly, how can you take on the big responsibility with your understanding? You don't even know what to do after inheriting the throne."

Huo Ying opened her mouth. The idea he was instilled in him since childhood was to fight for the throne. His mother and concubine said so, his grandfather said so, his uncle said so, and even the wife who taught him to read told him intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to seize the throne. Only his uncle did not. That's why he loves to cling to the emperor's uncle.

In this way, inheriting the throne has naturally become his lifelong pursuit, and he has no other goals other than to fight for this position.

Xiao Wang stood up and walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Look at you, you wanted to be my puppet before, and later you wanted to be Huo Yunchao's puppet. You only want that position, not that right. , but your father has been controlled by others all his life, what he hates the most is being the puppet of those aristocratic families, he desperately wants to cut off the threads that bind the throne, but you show him how to be an obedient puppet everywhere, Can he reuse you?"

"You blame him for not planning for you, but after he plans for you, what will you do? Take over and wipe out the rest of the family power for him? Can you take care of your grandparent's family? Can you move the Dong family? Or you Can you liquidate the Wang family that has begun to decline?"

Huo Ying was left speechless by the question.

Xiao Wang continued: "The reason why your father chose Qing Tianliang was not because he was the heir appointed by the alliance between the two countries, but because he had nothing to do with these forces, and he would not have any worries when making choices in the future, but because he I saw that possibility in Qing Tianliang. When he was isolated in the academy, Qing Tianliang would rather degenerate into a dandy than make false claims with Huo Yunchao. Back then, Huo Yunchao represented the royal family, and getting a good relationship with Huo Yunchao was to seek a future for himself. But the relationship between him and Huo Yunchao is so rigid, such a person will not be wronged to submit, it is this kind of personality that makes your father feel that everything he plans has the possibility of success."

"But isn't he still the empress dowager's puppet, imprisoned in the Shanghai Palace?" Huo Ying refused to accept, but her tone was not so sure. Even he himself could hear the intention of being brave, and he shook his head in boredom .

"Do you think he is really trapped?" Xiao Wang asked back.

Huo Ying looked back at him, wanting to ask, isn't it?But he didn't dare to speak out.

Xiao Wang was also very helpless, and said: "You delivered the letter for him, didn't you realize that he was actually pretending to be drunk to trick you into running errands?"

Xiao Wangguo looked in disbelief when he saw Huo Ying's eyes widen.

"He asked you to report to Huo Yunchao for his safety, and he explained that he was planning to send those two from the harem out of the palace. This is the first layout planning. If I hadn’t helped him deal with it secretly, he would have been discovered early in the morning, and he was very good at making progress. After knowing that I helped him in secret, he not only gave him thanks, but also used me to help him put the jade flower pot Get it into the palace, and he will use it as a favor for Mrs. Qin, if it were you, would you do these things?" King Xiao asked again.

Huo Ying was stunned for a moment.

King Xiao said: "He sees the situation of the world more clearly than you. You know that others are looking down on us even when you cry yourself. Why don't others take you seriously? That's because I may be about to lose power. Without my protection, you are not enough at all." By the way, that's why they dared to humiliate you like that. It's just that the group of children from aristocratic families who have brains don't know that they will startle the snake by doing so. If no one reminds you to come and sue me, I will be kept in the dark. Wait until you find out I'm afraid I'll lose the opportunity later, that guy is smart and thought of it first, so I'll let you remind me."

"Aying," Xiao Wang said earnestly, "you have to remember, whether it's the Dong family or the Shang family, they are all relatives. Our surname is Huo, and the Dajia Kingdom is also a country that the Huo family conquered, even if the methods used are not very glorious. , now the Huo family is in power, in this deep palace, everyone except you and I may be enemies, your situation also indicates my situation, do you understand?"

King Xiao had said this to Huo Ying before, but at the time Huo Ying understood that the emperor was protecting his weaknesses and would teach those who bullied him a lesson. Listening to these remarks now, he suddenly felt that King Xiao had deep intentions and was indeed teaching him. How to distinguish between friend and foe, and teach him how to judge the situation, but he has never been able to understand it before.

After listening to King Xiao's lecture, Huo Ying couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He seemed to understand what King Xiao meant when he said "you don't even know where you lost". His thoughts and behaviors are so childish and bizarre that they are ridiculous.

Coming out of King Xiao, Huo Ying didn't know where to go for a while, so she walked aimlessly, and finally came to the gate of Shanghai Palace.

Encounter the Queen Mother by chance.

The queen mother heard that Huo Ying had come to Qing Tianliang earlier, and lost her temper. She also knew that Huo Ying was stupid, so she didn't ask any more questions. Now that she saw someone again, she couldn't help being suspicious. Why did their relationship change? It's so good, can you drop by at any time?

"Grandma." Huo Ying saluted respectfully.

The Queen Mother nodded and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

Huo Ying just heard Xiao Wang's words, she immediately became alert, frowned and said: "I heard that he will enter the genealogy in two days and will become my younger brother. When the father was still alive, he used me, I, I just wanted to, just wanted to..."

He didn't go on, mainly because he didn't think of an excuse.

But the queen mother has something to think about. Qing Tianliang took the jade seal from Huo Bing through the palace that Huo Ying entered, and it was also the palace that Huo Ying sent people out of, without telling King Xiao. Huo Ying has regained her composure now However, it is reasonable to come to find someone to confront.

"Be careful in everything." Empress Dowager Dong confessed, and took her away with her. Recently, Qing Tianliang has been acting a little unruly, as if she was playing some tricks. She came here today to put a curse on people. Within the jurisdiction, she The purpose of giving Qing Tianliang maximum freedom is to boil the frogs in warm water so that Qing Tianliang will gradually give up resistance, thinking that such a life is not bad, but her connivance is by no means giving him the opportunity to play tricks.

It would be a good thing if Huo Ying could teach him a lesson and let him understand his situation, so Huo Ying would be ignored.

Huo Yinggong sent Empress Dowager Dong away and walked into the Shanghai Palace. When she stepped into the palace, she saw a eunuch administering medicine to Qing Tianliang. Qing Tianliang seemed to have been beaten.

"Why are you here now?" Qing Tianliang asked in surprise when he saw him.

Huo Ying pointed to his face: "What's wrong?" He didn't feel that his face was actually worse than Qing Tianliang's.

Qing Tianliang let the eunuch heal the wound on the corner of his mouth, and then let the eunuch lift his weak hand, twist it, and then turn it to his ankle.

It was only then that Huo Ying realized that Qing Tianliang seemed to have had his hands and feet removed.

Qing Tianliang took a breath and frowned: "Can you be gentle, it's not your feet?"

The eunuch replied: "It's really not mine, and I wouldn't be so stupid to let my hands and feet suffer like this."

Qing Tianliang smacked his mouth, looked up at Huo Ying, and asked, "Why didn't you get someone to deal with it for you? You run around with this face, and you're not afraid of being laughed at?"

Huo Ying wasn't in the mood to argue with him right now, so she got closer, squatted down, and asked, "Who beat you?"

Qing Tianliang raised his eyebrows and hummed, "I had a fight with Eunuch Ning."

"You fought with Ning Kou?!" Huo Ying widened her eyes, this... this is really a warrior, "You won?"

Too listening to his words, he sneered: "You haven't tried three tricks yet, relying on your little three-legged skill, you dare to take the initiative to attack people, you are really good."

"He made it clear that he came to teach me. If I don't do anything, the mother will play word games with me again. Can I resist? Turning into anger and waiting for an opportunity can show that I am a person who is only clever but not deep in the city. I If I have been patient, do you think the eunuch who will serve me will be changed tomorrow?" Qing Tianliang glanced at the eunuch, his tone bad.

Now that Huo Ying listened to Qing Tianliang's words, no matter what he said, he felt that there was something in it, and he was quite tired. Seeing that he was so casual with the same eunuch, he asked, "Who is he?"

Qing Tianliang rolled his eyes: "Gong Qingming."

The eunuch turned his head, saluted Huo Ying, and said, "Gong Qingming has seen the third prince."

"The Gong family?" Huo Ying was startled. He knew that there was a dark force behind the successive majesties of the Dajia Kingdom. They called themselves the Gong family. By his side, that is to say, did the royal father even hand over the Gong family to Qing Tianliang?Suddenly I was jealous again.

"Exactly." After Gong Qingming replied to him, he turned his head and continued to straighten Qing Tianliang's bones.

Qing Tianliang looked up at Huo Ying: "Why are you here so soon?"

Huo Ying looked around, and felt that there was no need to be particular about her body, so she sat down on the ground and said, "I told Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang already understood what you mean, and asked me to come over to listen to your orders, you If there is something you can tell me to do."

Qing Tianliang shook his head in disapproval, and said: "Why do you listen to me, how can I send the prince, you are too self-deprecating, I said earlier that I want to help you avenge, those moths and scum in the court of the Great Jia Kingdom, we have to Trick them well."

"Why?" Huo Ying raised her head and asked.

Qing Tianliang beckoned to him mysteriously, and Huo Ying leaned over to listen...
