The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 437 Conspiracy (1)
Zhao Jing only found out about Zhou Yi's rebellion after returning home.At that time, she was doing needlework in the room, and when she heard the news, she even forgot to complain about the pain when the embroidery needle got stuck on her fingertips, she just stood up and asked Xu Si'an, "Did I get the news wrong? How could the lord rebel! "

Zhao Jing could still vaguely remember seeing Zhou Yi in the imperial study that day. Although the man didn't say much to her, the love for the little emperor revealed between the lines seemed a little fake.Later, he insisted on going to Jiangnan, saying that he would never come back again. Although Zhao Jing refused to see him off, she still felt a little sad in her heart.Especially now, she already knew that Zhou Yi was his half-brother, so how could she feel at ease?

"I'm not very clear about the current situation, but the secret order sent to Jiangnan has been intercepted, and the [-] soldiers in Jiangnan are no longer under the control of the imperial court." Xu Si'an frowned and opened his mouth, seeing Zhao Jing's despondent expression , only comforted: "Don't worry, it may be a rumor, the regent has no reason to rebel."

But Zhao Jing didn't know that the label of treason could be put on indiscriminately. Eight hundred miles hastened to enter the capital, and Zhou Yi would rebel if he didn't rebel.She put down the blood-stained needlework in a daze, raised her head and said to Xu Si'an: "Master Hou is going to enter the palace? I'll go with you."

The regent rebelled, and she was most worried about the little emperor Zhou Xu.When the concubine planned the palace change more than ten years ago, Zhou Xu was still a child after all and didn't understand anything, but now that he is the Emperor Dayong who is about to take over the government, how can he face the betrayal of the most trusted person.

"I came back to pick you up into the palace. I'll go to the Ministry of War to discuss countermeasures with the ministers. You go into the palace first and find out about the current situation of the emperor and the empress dowager." Xu Si'an frowned, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Maybe the empress dowager can know the reason why the prince rebelled."

Zhao Jing was in a panic at the moment, how could the regent rebel?Anyway, how could he turn against his own son?

"My lord will not rebel!" Zhao Jing turned her head, holding Xu Si'an's hand helplessly, and said, "My lord will not rebel, if it were you, would you betray your own son?"

Zhao Jing originally wanted to hide such a shocking thing from Xu Si'an, but now she has to say it.

Xu Si'an's expression was slightly cold, and he stretched out his hand to support Zhao Jing. Seeing that her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, she looked like she was pregnant.

He vaguely remembered that before the death of the old Hou Ye, Zhou Yi came to visit him. Not long after Zhou Yi left, the old Hou Ye had already returned to the light, and only waited to see himself before letting himself swear in front of him: this life and the regent's grievances After that, he followed him back on the saddle.

The old Hou Ye probably knew the truth, so he realized how ridiculous the palace change was. He buried one of his sons for nothing, and caused many families to be separated.

"If this is the case, then why the prince rebelled, I can only ask myself." Xu Si'an raised his head, frowning solemnly, and couldn't figure it out for a while.

It was nearly Xu time when Zhao Jing entered the palace, and the sky was already dark, no one came to pick her up this time, and the person sent by the gate of the palace to inform her didn't come back for a long time, so Zhao Jing had no choice but to force her way through.

It was past the time to light the lamps, and the hall outside the imperial study was brightly lit.From a distance, Zhao Jing saw the dense darkness at the door, and when she got closer, she realized that it was the maids and eunuchs from the imperial study, kneeling outside the door in unison.Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath. Hearing the sound of gold and stone breaking from inside, they shortened their necks even more.

Zhao Jing walked up the steps slowly, and through the heavy red-painted palace gate, she saw the shattered porcelain pieces falling helplessly on the ground, just like her mood at the moment.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Jing lifted her skirt and knelt in front of Zhou Xu. She raised her head and looked at the almost crazy little emperor in front of her. He suddenly turned around and took out the bow and arrow that had been hanging on the wall. Get down and stride towards the door.

"I'm going to kill him myself!" Zhou Xu gritted his teeth, the ruthlessness in the youthful brows made Zhao Jing's heart tremble a little, she knelt down and hugged Zhou Xu's thigh, pulling He said: "Your Majesty! It must be a misunderstanding, the prince will not rebel, how could the prince rebel against the emperor!"

Zhao Jing raised her head, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and her heart ached.How could she watch their father and son kill each other?
"Auntie!" Zhou Xu didn't go any further, and fell to his knees on the ground in vain, throwing himself into Zhao Jing's arms and crying loudly.
