sick princess

Concubine Hui and Emperor Zhaode just discussed a few words, who knows, the news that Emperor Zhaode wanted to use his own daughter as medicine to attract alchemy spread to everyone the next day.

The courtiers originally had great opinions because Emperor Zhaode was obsessed with alchemy, but as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"Your majesty... how can your majesty be so foolish! Violating the family law of the ancestors, listening to slanderous rumors and slandering him, and even mutilating his own flesh and blood, it is inhumane! I have served the emperors of three dynasties, and this is the first time I have encountered such a shocking thing Misfortune to the family and country, misfortune to the family and country! The emperor acted so cruelly, how is it different from Jie Zhou?"

"Who says it's not! Even if I risk my old life, I still have to stop the emperor!"

"Concubine Hui is really a disastrous concubine. She even dares to recommend this kind of person to the emperor. She has always been at odds with Empress Xu. It must be her idea to persuade the emperor to use Princess Longevity as a medicine! For her own selfishness, To do such a horrific thing is to be punished! Tomorrow, I will unite with all my colleagues to submit a paper, asking the emperor to eradicate the traitor and kill the demon concubine! If the traitor and the demon concubine are not eliminated, our Great Xia will be in danger!"

"But your majesty has been so fascinated by that Taoist priest, can he really listen to our advice?" Some people are not optimistic about this.

"Whether the emperor listens or not, we have to remonstrate. Ordinary remonstrance is not enough, just dead remonstrance, dead remonstrance is not enough..." Someone took a deep breath: "I hope it will not fall to the point where military remonstrance is needed."

If Emperor Zhaode really insisted on going his own way and wanted to use the Longevity Princess as a medicine, he would lose the hearts of the people and put everyone in danger.

Over the years, everyone has seen how much Emperor Zhaode loves Princess Changshou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to hold it in his hand for fear of falling, and hold it in his mouth for fear of melting.If even Princess Changshou and Emperor Zhaode can do it, then in this world, who else can he not do it?

At that point, the forces opposing Emperor Zhaode will definitely take advantage of the situation.Great Xia was not peaceful at all, with constant internal and external troubles, otherwise, in just a dozen years, there would not have been so many wars, large and small.

Even the courtiers who were loyal to Great Xia would be alienated from Emperor Zhaode.Leaving aside, let's just talk about the prince, the younger sister of the same mother was made such an idea by his biological father. Could it be that he really didn't have any thoughts in his heart?People from Empress Xu's lineage would probably hate Emperor Zhaode to the bone.The rest of the ministers will also feel fear and dread towards Emperor Zhaode.

Today the prince's face is very ugly, his handsome face is gloomy, and his black eyes seem to be breathing fire.

When he returned to Fengyi Palace, Empress Xu was holding a small porcelain bottle and looking at it repeatedly. After a while, she bit her lower lip tightly as if she had made up her mind.

"Mother!" Looking at Empress Xu like this, the prince felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and had to speak to interrupt Empress Xu's meditation.

Empress Xu raised her head, with a dull expression on her face: "It's the emperor. Huanger, you must have heard the news."

"Of course, now, inside and outside the palace, who else doesn't know the news?" The prince said in a serious tone.

"If that bastard father of yours really dares to attack your sister, even if I try my best, I will die with him!"

Empress Xu has always been weak-tempered. In the past, she listened to her father in everything. When her natal family declined and her sons and daughters grew up, she listened to her children in everything.With such an expression now, it is conceivable that she was driven to a desperate situation.

At this moment, she can no longer care about the overall situation.If Emperor Zhaode really wants to use her daughter as a drug guide for Nashi Laozi, she will definitely find him desperately!

Although the prince was also very angry, he could barely maintain a semblance of reason.Seeing the porcelain bottle in Queen Xu's hand, the prince felt something was wrong: "Who gave that bottle to Queen Mother, and what's in it?"

"It's not important, the most important thing right now is that your sister will be eaten by your father!"

"No, this is very important. My son suspects that someone wants to take advantage of the queen mother." The crown prince glanced at the porcelain vase: "Could it be that what's in it is 'seal the throat with blood'?"

Empress Xu was stunned, before she came back to her senses: "How do you know?"

"Sure enough, as I expected...'Seeing blood to seal the throat' really has something to do with the emperor's grandmother. I'm afraid this matter can't be separated from the emperor's grandmother's plan..."

"What... do you mean..." Empress Xu said in a difficult tone.

"Literally. I suspect that this matter may have been planned by the emperor's grandmother! Concubine Hui has lost power over the years, and her family power has also been reduced a lot. How did she find the Taoist priest? Is it suspicious? Concubine Hui just wanted to plot against her younger sister, and this matter was revealed with great fanfare. It was spread all over the palace and outside the palace, as if she was afraid that people would not know. The queen mother said, isn't this suspicious? "

"Now that this incident has been exposed, the imperial father will definitely not let Concubine Hui go. If the ministers and the queen mother were angry and moved their hands against the imperial father, the queen mother said that the final beneficiary of this incident, Who could it be?"

Empress Xu trembled and covered her mouth: "Is... the queen mother? She planned all of this? Just to kill us and Concubine Hui?" Annoyed, even the queen mother stopped calling.

"Perhaps, this matter was planned and planned by the imperial grandmother from the beginning to the end, and Concubine Hui was just a pawn in the hands of the imperial grandmother; perhaps, this matter was indeed initiated by Concubine Hui, but was discovered by the imperial grandmother halfway. The emperor's grandmother took advantage of the situation, fueled the flames, and finally gave Concubine Hui a hard time... Anyway, the emperor's grandmother's attack this time was really ruthless. Let's not talk about forcing her back, there is still a way out Not for Concubine Hui and Royal Father, as soon as this news came out, Concubine Hui was completely abolished, and even Royal Father lost all support."

The prince glanced at Empress Xu: "If we really do what the emperor's grandmother wished and attacked the father, the emperor's grandmother will be able to catch our treason. At that time, except for her fifth prince, who else can sit on the throne?" How about going to the throne?"

"The empress dowager... is really deceiving people too much! Since she won't give our mother and son a life, I want her to die!!!"

"The emperor's grandmother is good at calculating, but it's not up to her to decide whether everything will develop as she expected." The prince said with downcast eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Queen Xu looked at the prince quietly.She was not a fool, so she could tell that the crown prince didn't want to attack Emperor Zhaode.Although she also understood that this was the most sensible approach, she absolutely couldn't do it if she wanted to watch her daughter being mutilated.She was afraid that her son would persuade her to put the overall situation first and let her endure everything, and she was also afraid that the love of flesh and blood in her son's heart was not as important as the power at his fingertips.

The prince naturally understood Empress Xu's worries, and he shook his head: "In the heart of the queen mother, is it possible that this son-in-law is such a person who only thinks about himself? The son-in-law said long ago that the son-in-law seized this power-power , to protect the queen mother and younger sister, it was the case back then, and it is the same now. I have a clear conscience when I say this, if the queen mother doesn't believe it, I can swear to heaven and earth."

"My son will not easily attack my father, as my grandmother wished. However, if my father really wants to ignore my sister, my son will not care so much. At that time, my son will have no choice Let's go, I have no choice but to send my father and grandmother on the road together, and by the way, there is also the fifth emperor." The prince's eyes were full of killing intent.

Empress Xu was stunned: "If it's the empress who cares about it, it will be messed up. You have always had your own ideas, and you never need the empress to worry about things. This time, if you want to do something, just let it go and do it."

"It's good for these ministers and the queen mother to know. Don't tell my sister for now, so as not to increase her psychological burden. Since the father and emperor have this idea, I will definitely not let my sister set foot in Qianyuan Palace recently."

It is naturally impossible for Baoluo to be ignorant of news that is known both inside and outside the palace.

Although she had expected Concubine Hui to make some moves, she did not expect Concubine Hui to have such an idea.And her father, the emperor, was really moved by Concubine Hui's words.

All of a sudden, Baoluo felt cold all over his body.

For a long time, Emperor Zhaode was not a good husband to Empress Xu, nor a good father to the crown prince, but he loved Baoluo a lot, even if this favor had a different purpose, it was not fake after all. of.Baoluo always thought that Emperor Zhaode treated her somewhat like a father and daughter, but now it seems that her naive thoughts are like a joke.

In Emperor Zhaode's heart, she was just a tool to protect him from disasters, that's all.

"Don't be sad..." Lan Chengyu stood behind her, comforting in a gentle voice.

However, he also knew that at such a time, no matter what words were spoken, they seemed pale and powerless.Seeing that there was no one around, he simply stepped forward and wrapped Baoluo into his arms from behind.

Baoluo's body trembled slightly, and after a while, she calmed down, and said in a hoarse voice: "...you don't need to go to the royal father's palace?"

"Nowadays, with that 'immortal master' guarding the gate and guarding the courtyard for the emperor, the emperor no longer needs me." When Lan Chengyu said this, there was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

As a courtier of Emperor Zhaode and the nephew of Emperor Zhaode's mother clan, Lan Chengyu has always respected Emperor Zhaode very much. However, this time, even he had to admit that Emperor Zhaode was hopeless.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you." Lan Chengyu's voice was calm and powerful: "These days, you must not be left alone. If the emperor really wants to do something to you, I will take you out Go to the palace!"

Baoluo didn't expect Lan Chengyu to say such words.

All along, the Lan family has been Emperor Zhaode's most solid backing, and Lan Chengyu and his father An Guogong are also the most loyal blades in the hands of Emperor Zhaode.

Unexpectedly, one day, Lan Chengyu would actually do such things against Emperor Zhaode.Even if it is just talking, it is a great disrespect to Emperor Zhaode.What's more, Baoluo knew Lan Chengyu well, and could hear the seriousness in his words.If it came to such a field...he would really do it.

Lan Chengyu seemed to understand the doubts in Baoluo's heart, and without waiting for Baoluo to ask questions, he said: "If I can't even protect you, I will be the most useless man in the world. Besides, I can't just watch the emperor Mistake over and over."
