The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

The young man was about to cry from fright, and so were the other three. They didn't dare to say a word to Shu Yao, causing Shu Yao to touch his face, feeling displeased.

As the number one beauty in the capital praised by everyone, who doesn't feel happy when seeing her, and can't stop praising her?What's going on with these faces, I really don't have any vision at all.

Shu Yao left feeling bored.

In the imperial study room, Li Mingji half-kneeled in front of Emperor Yong holding a tray.

Emperor Yong raised his hand and opened the porcelain jar.

The corpse of a green snake came into view impressively, exuding a faint rotten smell.

Emperor Yong was not an emperor who could only talk about scriptures and Taoism.When the Turks harassed the frontiers of the Yong Dynasty, the Emperor Yong also personally marched, went to the battlefield, and saw the dead.

When marching and fighting, it is inevitable to eat and sleep in the open.When the troops were trapped deep in the mountains, they even caught snakes and ate them.Therefore, Emperor Yong could tell at a glance that the snake was highly poisonous.

"This is the snake that appeared in the princess's room last night. Fortunately, the princess was not in bed at the time and was not bitten by the snake."

Li Mingji said calmly, "The assassin has been terminated by his subordinates. The other items were found from the assassin's body. He used to be a guard in the palace, and his younger brother was on duty in the Huaxi Palace. He died unexpectedly. Therefore."

A bamboo tube used to release snakes, a short blade quenched with poison, and a token to leave the palace.

Since Emperor Yong reorganized the Dianqian Division and the Guard Division, the Imperial Army had to go through layers of declarations to leave the palace, and only a few people had the power to transfer the Imperial Army out of the palace.

It's not difficult to guess who is manipulating behind the scenes, it just depends on whether Emperor Yong is willing to pursue the matter.

Emperor Yong was silent for a long time.

Li Ming remained motionless, straight as a pine.Emperor Yong looked at him, as if seeing a lot of the past through his back.

"I see," he lowered his eyes, and said, "Li Qing has made meritorious service in escorting you. I will reward you."

Li Mingji thanked him, put down the tray, and left the imperial study.

"Yin Fu," Emperor Yong said, "we will drive to Fengyi Palace tonight."

Fengyi Palace is the queen's bedroom.

Emperor Yong was not greedy for women, and there were only four concubines in the harem, namely the crown prince's biological mother, the queen, the second prince's biological mother, Xianfei, the eldest princess' biological mother, Shufei, and the second princess' biological mother, Jiang Concubine.

The empress is the first wife of Emperor Yong. During the 20 years of Emperor Yong's reign, only two drafts were held, leaving three concubines. Apart from this, no newcomers were added to the harem.

The fire in the 18th year of Pingzhi burned to death the three princes of the first emperor, and became an indelible scar in the hearts of the ministers of the Yong Dynasty.Therefore, although Emperor Yong had few heirs, the ministers did not force him to spread out, for fear that similar things would happen again.

However, Emperor Yong was diligent in government and loved the people. He either rested in Chengqian Palace at night or slept in the imperial study. The attraction of the harem to him may not be as great as the calligraphy and paintings in the imperial study.

That's why Yin Fu felt strange.

Sensing that Emperor Yong's expression was not right, Yin Fu didn't dare to ask more questions, and said yes politely.

Fengyi Palace is not peaceful at this moment.

The crown prince descended and went straight to Fengyi Palace, a little haste appeared on his always gentle and cold face: "Mother, where is Luo Peng?"

The queen was dressed in a crimson palace robe, sitting gracefully on the phoenix couch, playing with the raccoon cat brought by the palace servants.

The full-term raccoon kitten has not yet developed its facial features, like a little mouse.It wanted to bite the queen's finger, but the nape of its neck was pinched, so it could only shake its limbs and make a whining sound.

The queen bent her lips and smiled, with a hint of coldness: "Don't you hate the guard next to Princess Huaxi? The queen mother made decisions for you and sent him to the princess' mansion."

The embarrassment of being overwhelmed by his mother made the prince blush, but he was shocked for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"The palace man you sent to Shuyao Palace, I ordered someone to kill him," the queen casually played with the raccoon cat, "Luo Peng mistakenly thought that it was done by the guard of Princess Huaxi, and he wanted to do it for his younger brother. For revenge, please come before this palace, and ask this palace to give him a chance."

The prince's face became paler and paler.

He stared blankly at the strange mother in front of him, and almost squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Why?"

He thought that he hid this secret thought very well.

Because he knows it's impossible.

Princess Huaxi is the moon in the sky, the pearl held in the palm of Emperor Yong.And his crown princess must have the bearing of a mother who respects the world, and must bring help to his throne.

The prince only dared to watch Shu Yao silently from a distance.

This didn't stop him from being jealous - jealous that he never dared to reveal his thoughts in front of Shu Yao, but that humble guard could be favored by Shu Yao and be so close to her.

But the prince dared not do anything.

Secretly placing eyeliner by Shu Yao's side was already the limit of the prince's courage.

How could the prince who had been raised in the deep palace since he was a child and couldn't bear to kill an animal think of murdering other people's lives?
"Dun'er!" The queen's voice suddenly rose, and the civet cat in her arms trembled in fright, froze and didn't even dare to whimper, "You will become emperor in the future, and you want Princess Huaxi to enter the palace. , It’s just a matter of one sentence. What do you want to do now, the queen mother has told you so many times, don’t you remember a word?”

"...My son dare not."

"You better not dare."

The queen looked coldly at the son she had personally raised.

She is satisfied with his obedience and obedience, but dissatisfied with his cowardice and timidity. How can such a character become a wise monarch?

Fortunately, she has already chosen a wife for him. With a good wife to assist and her to watch over, the prince can avoid many detours in the future, and it doesn't matter if he is incompetent.

In this world, the emperor never speaks alone.The forces behind it are intricate. As a daughter of a family, the queen has already seen through these things, so she carefully arranged and firmly held more contacts and power in her hands, so that her son's position as the heir apparent can be guaranteed.

As for Princess Huaxi...

It would be best if Luo Peng could get rid of her, but if he couldn't get rid of her, the queen would think of another way.

Such an ignorant idiot will end up being a plaything of the rich and powerful.The prince is young and vigorous, and grew up with Princess Huaxi, so he will inevitably be attracted by her appearance. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will send her to the harem with her voice crippled, or let her disappear without a sound. Difficult.

"You are going to marry Ah Wu soon," the queen's voice softened, "A Wu is a good child, treat her well."

The prince lowered his eyes: "Yes."

Zheng Yueyao is the crown princess that the queen is satisfied with.

However, the prince felt inexplicably dumbfounded. The "good boy" in the eyes of the empress was really Zheng Yueyao, or the Zheng family behind her?
He walked out of Fengyi Palace silently.

Watching the prince leave, the queen pinched the civet cat in her arms with an unclear expression.

"Your Majesty," a female official came in and said in a low voice, "There is news from the Imperial Study Room that His Majesty is coming to Fengyi Palace tonight."

The Queen's eyebrows twitched, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across her heart.
