Powerful

Chapter 403
(One update!)
Emperor Chongde's hesitation was still behind Zhu Xuanzhi.He always felt that An Jieyu would never speak, always hiding something.

This hiding made him uneasy, he was afraid that there would be some power behind An Jieyu, a power that would frighten Emperor Chongde.

Incidentally, it also made him dislike Zhu Xuanzhi, the emperor's son.Now, the queen mother wants to accompany this prince he doesn't like, why?

Thinking about this, he didn't agree immediately, but instead asked Queen Mother Zheng why she did this.Why is it Lao Jiu, the queen mother will always say it?
"The empress mother is talking about the companionship of the emperor and grandson, how did she say it?" Emperor Chongde asked, and the person in the palace who was reporting back was Guan Shi, the wife of Duke Anguo's mansion.

Originally, Mr. Changyin came to the palace to report the matter about Empress Dowager Zheng, but now that he is ill, he can't even leave the gate of the Duke's mansion, so Mrs. Guan had no choice but to enter the palace.

"The empress dowager didn't say anything, but the minister thought to herself, the empress has been in Dingyuan Temple for 11 years, and she is really too lonely. Now that the empress wants a grandson, maybe the empress is willing to pay attention to the affairs of the palace. My heart is softening." Guan Shi replied, guessing what Queen Mother Zheng was thinking.
Guan Shi didn't fully understand what Empress Dowager Zheng was thinking.This is especially true when it comes to the matter of the Ninth Highness.She knew that Empress Dowager Zheng didn't want to care about the affairs of the palace, but why did she want to put His Highness Ninth Prince by her side?Does this mean that the empress is willing to let go of the past?

Letting go is redemption and a good thing.
She told her grandson Changyin about her doubts, and the answer she got was "Grandmother, you can just tell the emperor what you want. The empress is lonely, and it is human nature to want to have the emperor's grandson by her side. Perhaps, the empress My heart has softened."
Hearing his grandson's words, Guan also felt that this was the case, so he said it in front of the emperor.She is a close friend of Empress Dowager Zheng, so of course she will help her achieve her wish.

Lonely... soft hearted...

It has been 11 years since the empress mother left the palace so coldly, will she really soften her heart?Emperor Chongde couldn't guess.

Then, Guan Shi said again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty also said another matter. Your Majesty said that Chen Jieyu was low and young, and it was not suitable to manage such a large harem. She suggested that the Empress Defei should be in charge of the harem. assistance."

Another matter related to the palace.Could it be that the queen mother really cares about the affairs of the palace?
Emperor Chongde waved his hand to signal Guan Shi to leave the Zichen Palace, and then fell silent.He hasn't decided whether to agree to Queen Mother Zheng's request.

After a long time, he ordered Zhu Xuanzhi to be summoned to Zichen Palace.He hadn't seen Zhu Xuanzhi since An Jieyu's death.Now I want to meet up, and I want to see why the queen mother chose Lao Jiu. ——Emperor Chongde didn't really believe in the reason of losing his mother and being reticent.

He wanted to see what was so special about Lao Jiu.

When Emperor Chongde's order was sent to the Ninth Prince's office, Wu Shu, the servant, was very worried.At this time, Wu Shu would not naively think that the emperor's summoning was a great kindness. He was worried that Zhu Xuan would encounter any accidents when he went to Zichen Palace.

Seeing Wu Shu's worry, Zhu Xuanzhi tried to persuade him instead: "It's okay, I know why the emperor summoned me."
Yes, he knows.Shen Du told him earlier that he would find a way to get him out of the palace through Queen Mother Zheng.Presumably, the meaning from Dingyuan Temple has already been sent to Zichen Hall.

Father, will you allow him to leave the palace?

Zhu Xuanzhi raised his head and looked at the dark gray sky, unable to think of the final answer, but his eyes were as deep and gray as the sky.

Now, Xingning Palace has been closed.The bodies of the maids and servants had already been carried out by the Yeting Bureau, and even An Jieyu had been hastily buried.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a burial.Because after her death, she was deprived of her status, and she was sent out of the palace in a thin coffin, with only the title "An's".

It was the Shen family who really allowed her to be buried in peace.Before Shen Du came back, Shen Su took An Jieyu's body from the Ye Ting Bureau and chose a place with good geomantic omen for burial. ——According to Zhu Xuanzhi's wishes, An Jieyu's tomb is not near the Dading Mausoleum, but in the opposite direction.

An Jieyu spent most of her short life in the palace, and finally died in the palace.But in fact, she never liked the palace, and what she didn't say in her heart was her dislike for the palace.

Zhu Xuanzhi didn't understand before, why An Jieyu's tone showed dislike for the imperial palace.Now, he understands.

He understood that in such a place full of crises, in such a place where layers of blood flowed, in such a place firmly sealed by power, most people's hearts have been smoked black.

For the sake of power, for the sake of living, there have been countless sorrows and darkness in this place.Niangqin will not be the first, nor will she be the last.

The Xingning Palace will definitely be reopened, and people who have disappeared like Niangqin will appear one after another.

Looking at the cornices, the magnificence, and the majesty, he felt an indescribable disgust in his heart.Especially when he came to Zichen Palace, his disgust was exhausted to the highest point, and the resentment and hostility in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

I can't wait... I can't wait to destroy everything here!Together with the person in Zichen Palace, they are all destroyed!

Zhu Xuanzhi's eyes turned scarlet, just like Concubine Shu had guessed at the time, like a beast, a beast full of vengeance!
Zhu Xuanzhi lowered his head, tried his best to hide the hatred in his eyes, and greeted Emperor Chao Chongde in a flat tone, his voice was still hoarse.

"Raise your head, what are you doing with your head down?" Emperor Chongde said without hesitation, making Zhu Xuanzhi raise his head.Otherwise, how could he see his appearance clearly?
Zhu Xuanzhi raised his head when he heard the words, but his eyes were dull, like a puppet.
The great grief made him lose weight sharply.In a short period of time, he could no longer be called a fat man, and there was a hint of handsomeness in his brows, and there was also a hint of a dragon and a phoenix.

Emperor Chongde looked at him intently, and his heart couldn't help shaking.Before that, Zhu Xuanzhi had always been obese, his face was like a big bun, and his eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly.Now that he has lost weight, he realizes that this son is actually very good-looking, and looks like a Buddha.
This looks very good, different from the prince's eye-catching and handsome, but a kind of warmth and comfort, which makes people want to get close involuntarily.This appearance is also a kind of blessing and ability.
This kind of appearance and temperament fit the atmosphere of Dingyuan Temple very well.Could it be that he really has a Buddhist relationship, so the queen mother will choose him?
Seeing Zhu Xuanzhi's appearance for the first time, Emperor Chongde didn't know what to say.
