When we returned to Yongshou Palace, it was almost dawn.

Shuwan and the fourth elder brother changed their clothes and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a while.

Shuwan asked: "I thought you would kill Eighth Brother."

They have been fighting for so many years, and the little bit of brotherhood has long been worn away, and they regard each other as enemies.What's more, the eighth elder brother poisoned the late emperor, how can such a serious crime be given a light sentence?

The fourth elder brother looked at the bed net with empty eyes, "I thought I would kill him too, but at that moment, I couldn't do it."

Shuwan turned sideways and squeezed into his arms, and the fourth elder brother hugged her tightly.

"We princes are very pitiful. When we were young, Huang Ama was always busy, and we didn't see each other for a month. After we got married and moved out of the palace, it was even more difficult to see each other.

We have been trying to win Huang Ama's attention since we were young. For this little attention, we study hard and practice martial arts hard.He gave me a little errand, and I could have fun for a long time.

Power is indeed charming, but at the beginning, we only wanted a few words of appreciation from Huang Ama. "

Shuwan caressed the back of the fourth elder brother, hoping that he would feel better.

The fourth elder brother felt disappointed, "We brothers all held resentment towards Huang Ama in our hearts, and I did the same. At that time, Huang Ama intended to pass on the throne to me, but he was always on guard against me and suppressed me. At that time, I endured I can't help but think, if I can't hold on anymore, will Huang Ama imprison me too?

I understand Lao Ba's motive for poisoning. We love our father so much, but he is very ruthless to us. "

His pampering makes people feel insecure, and he will be severely punished if he makes a slight mistake.He took back all the good things, and others came over to step on them when they saw the wind.

Shuwan thought for a while and said carefully: "But... you can't blame Huang Ama! I know you might not like to hear it, but Huang Ama is also quite pitiful. He might not be able to tell the difference. Do you treat him well for the sake of power, or do you simply respect and love him?"

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, "That's right... Thinking about it this way, we are all pitiful, we are all slaves of power. Fathers are not fathers, sons are not sons, and the praise of fathers for being kind and sons for being filial is just a joke."

The fourth elder brother became more and more depressed, he calmed down and stopped talking.He understood Eighth Prince's hysteria, and even had a feeling of sympathy.

Shuwan tried her best to explain to the fourth elder brother, "Huang Ama has too many children, and he wants to care about you, but he doesn't have so much energy. It's better for the eighth elder brother to guard the imperial tomb, and let him make amends to Huang Ama in front of the mausoleum." , you don't have to remove your own brother with your own hands.

Raising children is like planting crops. You need to water, fertilize, and remove pests, so that you can get good crops.The past has passed and cannot be undone. We can only look forward to the future and avoid repeating the same mistakes.Fortunately, our family has few children, and the children have been growing up under our noses, so there should be no problems in the future. "

What Shuwan said was exactly what the fourth elder brother was worried about. History always repeated itself. When fighting for the throne, parents, brothers and children all became enemies.

The fourth elder brother sighed, Shuwan's few words of reassurance could not make him feel at ease, so he covered Shuwan with a quilt, "Okay, it's late, go to sleep!"

Shuwan squinted for a while, the fourth elder brother went to court, she also got up early, and went to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

When she arrived at Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was having breakfast, Shuwan greeted the Empress Dowager with a smile and asked the maid to bring her a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

The queen mother smiled and said, "Your monthly report is gone? You actually come to my place for a meal."

Shuwan followed her words and joked, "Monthly rules! There are! And there are quite a few. I just use my own rules. How can the food I bought be sweet?"

The queen mother laughed and scolded: "Look at your petty appearance!"

"Huh? How bright to be honest! Does this look petty? Let me polish it up!" Shuwan coughed twice, folded her hands on her abdomen, very elegantly, "Back to the Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law worried that the Queen Mother would be lonely eating alone, so she came here early Accompany you to have a meal. I hope you will eat two more bowls of porridge for the sake of your daughter-in-law's good looks, this is the filial piety of your daughter-in-law!"

The Empress Dowager leaned on the table and couldn't straighten up laughing, "Stop making me laugh!"

Shuwan asked seriously: "What am I saying so funny? Did I praise myself for my good looks? Queen Mother, it's not true that I look good! This is nothing funny!"

The queen mother laughed even harder, Shuwan went to pat her on the back, the queen mother slowed down and pointed at Shuwan and scolded: "You are the most cheeky! How can you praise yourself!"

"As long as Queen Mother is happy, I will praise myself every day!"

The queen mother wiped her eyes with a smile, "You like to brag about yourself, don't rely on me, I will not take the blame for this."

Shuwan rolled up her sleeves and served the Empress Dowager with vegetables, "Okay, okay, I'm thick-skinned, no wonder the Empress Dowager. Hurry up and take advantage of my beauty and eat more food!"

The Queen Mother just stopped, and now she laughed again.

Shuwan had served the queen mother for breakfast, and the maid brought soup and medicine. Shuwan took the medicine bowl and asked all the waiters to go out.

"Emperor Niang, I won't feed you spoonful by spoonful. You will feel bored, so it won't be bitter."

Shuwan tried the temperature, and handed it to the Queen Mother, who took the bowl and drank the medicine. Shuwan hurriedly stuffed a piece of pine nut candy into her mouth.

The Empress Dowager sighed, "I've drank a whole jar of this decoction, and it's always gone. My tongue is numb after taking the medicine, and no matter what I eat, there is no taste in my mouth."

Shuwan thought to herself, you have a heart disease, you always think about Elder Fourteen, how can you get better from this disease?

Shuwan smiled and said: "Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things recently, the palace is busy and noisy, and the Queen's mother can't rest assured to recover from her illness, so the illness has not recovered for a long time. Now another incident happened, it can't be regarded as a bad thing, but it can't be regarded as a good thing either. "

The Empress Dowager's heart tightened, "Who has an accident? Did the old Fourteen get into trouble again?"

Shuwan quickly explained, "No! Now the fourteenth brother is very honest and has never messed around again. It's the eighth elder brother. He hated the late emperor for passing the throne to the emperor, so he spread rumors everywhere to smear the fourth elder brother. Those messy rumors in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River It was his fault, the emperor arrested him and sent him to the imperial mausoleum to confess."

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be the eighth child. I thought he was restless for a long time. Fortunately, it is not the fourteenth child. If he dares to make trouble again, I will pretend that I never gave birth to this son!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "The Fourteenth Brother has changed, so don't always scold him. The rumors about the Fourteenth Brother are all caused by the Eighth Brother. Now the truth has come out, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it anymore. .”

The queen mother let out a long breath, "Yes! Don't worry..."

The queen mother held Shuwan's hand, "The old fourteen has caused you a lot of trouble. I have been protecting him and caused you a lot of trouble. Don't worry, this is the last time. If the old fourteen dares to make mistakes again , I will never take care of him again."

"Er Niang..." Shuwan sighed, she was indeed a little troublesome, but family members just wanted to trouble each other.

"Emiang, for us, protecting the fourteenth elder brother is a small trouble, but Erniang's heart disease is the big trouble. We all know that you have a heart disease. We want to cure you, but you don't cooperate, Er Niang. You don’t want to tell us what’s on your mind. You can speak out about your unhappiness, it’s not our burden.”

The queen mother smiled and hugged Shuwan, letting her lean into her arms.

"Okay, I will tell you all the things on my mind from now on."

The queen mother thought, irritability and depression are suffocating in her heart, she is also uncomfortable, and she wants to speak out.She dared not intercede for the fourteenth elder brother, she dared not let the fourth elder brother know what was on her mind, she was an eccentric mother, but she was not indifferent, she was afraid that the fourth elder brother would embarrass her.

But now it's all right, the matter has been resolved, and she doesn't have to make things difficult anymore.

Shuwan's face was pressed against her stomach, and the queen mother felt warm on her body. After a while, her breathing gradually became steady.

Shuwan looked up, and the queen mother was already asleep.

She gently broke free from the Empress Dowager's arm, helped her lie on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

She went out and asked the maid to come in to accompany the Queen Mother, she was also tired, and it was time to go back and catch up on sleep.

The eighth elder brother was caught and caused a wave in the court, and the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother felt very uncomfortable.The tenth elder brother felt that the emperor turned over the old account after he became the throne, and deliberately troubled the eighth elder brother, but the ninth elder brother felt that it was not possible, so he mustered up his courage and went to the palace to intercede with the eighth elder brother.

The emperor didn't hide from Brother Jiu, he told Brother Jiu about the poisoning of the first emperor.

He also told Brother Ninth another thing. When Brother Eight was first imprisoned, Brother Ten went up and down and sent a doctor to Brother Eight's mansion to see him.It was that doctor who acted as an informant and helped the eighth elder brother pass the news to He Zhuo, and He Zhuo arranged for the steward of the waiter to poison the emperor.

Brother Jiu didn't say anything after listening, he didn't intercede again, and when he returned, he threw all the silver he had prepared outside the mansion, and asked his servants to distribute it to the beggars.

He told Elder Brother the truth, and Elder Brother Ten also became depressed.

The eighth elder brother's mansion was emptied, and the eighth elder brother and other female relatives, as well as the eighth elder brother's two children were sent to other places and locked up.

Wang Fangfujin sat in the simple carriage, and she waited quietly without any panic.For her, it's the same wherever she lives, whether it's the Eighth Prince's Mansion or any other place.

When the carriage stopped, a round-faced nanny lifted the curtain with a smile, and reached out to Wang Fangfujin.

"Cian Fujin, please get out of the car! We are here!"

Wang Zaifujin felt strange, she was already a prisoner, how could there be a nanny who was kind to her?

When she got off the car, she saw the exquisite house in front of her, and she was even more surprised. Could she live in such a nice courtyard?

Nanny helped Wang Fangfujin into the main hall, and Wang Fangfujin was stunned when he saw the people sitting there drinking tea.

"The Queen Mother..."

Shuwan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Long time no see, it's rare for me to leave the palace now. I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you personally."

Shuwan stood up and said solemnly: "From now on, you are free."
