Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 288

After the queen left, she went directly to the place where the prince used to live in the palace.

A slightly thin figure has long been waiting here.

Seeing the empress arrived, Yunxi showed a grateful smile, hurriedly greeted her, saluted respectfully, and said, "It's really hard work, empress, Yunxi is very grateful."

The queen waved her hand casually and said, "Princess, you don't have to be polite. Both the emperor and I have been greatly favored by you, but now it's just a little effort. It's nothing!"

Both of them directly avoided the topic of Emperor Jing, as if this person was just an insignificant little person.

Yunxi smiled and said hastily: "Your Majesty, you are being polite. Yunxi didn't do anything at all, it was His Royal Highness who loved him. It is Yunxi's blessing to be able to help the Prince!"

When the prince was mentioned, the empress had a gentle smile on her face, but soon her brows and eyes darkened again, and the smile on her face faded a bit.

"It's Chen'er's fate! I think, if Chen'er is here, he must also hope that I can help you. When Chen'er was still there, I told Bengong that the princess is a good-natured woman." Lan Xin's girl, it's a pity that I got to know you later."

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know that the prince had such thoughts, and said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, His Royal Highness, and thank you for the kindness of the empress!"

The empress nodded with a smile, she was very satisfied with Yun Xi's attitude, and then said with a smile: "You are indeed good. You are willing to take a step back after what the Prince Xuan's Mansion did to you. It can be seen from your vision It is indeed much wider than this palace! Bengong sighs that it is not as good."

Yunxi quickly said: "I'm just a little girl, and I'm not as great as my mother said. I just don't want more people to suffer because of me. The people today are already suffering too much, and they can't stand it anymore." anything."

The Empress nodded, but said nothing more.

"I ask the empress to keep the matter of today a secret. If they think that the father bowed his head and admitted his mistake, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future. This matter is all the idea of ​​the little girl, and I ask the empress to learn from it."

The queen raised her eyebrows, and when she looked at Yun Xi, the smile on her face was much more kind, a little more sincere, and a little less guarded.

After all, the current situation is in chaos, and Jingbianhou is in power, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not have other ideas.Now that she heard what Yunxi said, she felt much more relieved, and at the same time she had to sigh for the generosity of the father and daughter.

Then he smiled and said: "Yes, I did not misunderstand you. Nowadays everyone is fighting for power and profit, but you, a little girl, can see such a long-term view. It is a blessing for Jingbianhou to have you as a daughter! It is worthwhile for me to help you One match!"

……

The ministers guarding outside the palace were a little confused when they saw that Chen Guogong had left like this.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.

Several people chattered for a while, and finally it was Wang Zizhen who took the lead.

Only then did they decide to go to Prince Xuan's Mansion together.The matter has been dragged on for too long, they can afford to wait, but they are afraid that the world will not be able to wait anymore, they must get the answer today.

Marquis Jingbian had already said something beforehand, as long as Old Prince Xuan let go and decided on a candidate, he would fully support it!

When a large group of people approached the old prince again, he sent someone to invite Chen Guogong immediately.He knew that only Chen Guogong could preside over the overall situation, and only he could stabilize these people.

What disappointed him was that the group of people had been arguing for a long time and did not see Chen Guogong arrive.After waiting for a while, the news came that I was unwell and could not arrive.

This made the old prince feel something was wrong.You must know that Chen Guogong has always been his strongest supporter. After all, his prestige is very important among literati.

Without his help, these literati would no longer be so polite.Although he is a military commander, he cannot directly use force against these people.

"Old prince, today you have to give us an answer no matter what. We old people can afford to wait, but the Dajing Dynasty can't afford to wait, and the people in this world can't afford to wait!"

"Yes. A country cannot live without a king. You should make up your mind quickly."

The old prince was forced by these people to turn pale and sad.Xiao Muyun had already said directly that he didn't want to fight for that position.It's just that he knows that now that things have come to this point, it's no longer something he doesn't want to argue about.

But after struggling repeatedly, he still didn't want others to know the secret in his heart.That was a disgrace to him!

Huaiyu was secretly released by him back then.Now that the entire royal family has suffered such a catastrophe, he cannot absolve himself of the blame!

Recently, even he himself began to reflect on how they overthrew Yun Guo in such a cruel way.Now that the royal family has become like this again, isn't this a kind of retribution?

Even so, the heir he had tried his best to cultivate had a falling out with him now, how could this make him not angry, not angry!

"My lord! Today you must tell us whether the child from back then is still there." Someone raised this question again.

The old prince's thoughts were interrupted, he bit his lips tightly with an angry expression on his face, and refused to speak no matter what.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to fall into a stalemate again, Wang Zizhen shook his head, stepped forward and asked loudly: "Is that child Xiao Shizi?"

As soon as the words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed, ranging from surprise, joy, to anger.

This angry face is naturally the old prince.

He immediately reprimanded angrily: "No! It's not Yun'er, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Zizhen also went all out, and said to the old prince without fear: "Jingbian Hou said that day, the old prince knows the news about the child best, but today the empress said that the person we are looking for is in the palace. The end of the matter is in the palace. Doesn't this explain the problem? Why do you want to hide this matter, old prince?"

The old prince's heart panicked.

"No! It's not him! Yun'er is my grandson, how could it be him!"

At this moment, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out and said in confusion, "My lord, what is going on? If Prince Xiao is that child, how could he marry the princess? Isn't this, isn't it..."

The Minister of Rites is naturally the most sensitive to these matters of etiquette. He thought of this question all of a sudden, and asked it tremblingly.

As soon as the words came out, everyone came to their senses and looked at the old prince together.

"Old prince, today you have to give an explanation no matter what. What is going on? If Shizi Xiao is really that child, how can he enter the court as a son-in-law? Isn't this all messed up? ? This matter is related to the blood of the royal family, please tell the old prince clearly." The Minister of Rites continued to ask.

The old prince's face changed again and again.Hearing these words suddenly, his heart couldn't help but flustered.

At this moment, all the plans he had made before were disrupted.

Seeing the changing expression of the old prince.Wang Zizhen was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and nine times out of ten it was actually true.

"My lord, at this time, it's about the blood of the royal family, about the overall situation of the world, about the future master, you must tell the truth!" Wang Zizhen said.
