Chapter 174 The Queen Mother's Birthday
Le Han raised his eyebrows, that's right, the last time he fought in the court, the emperor knew very well, whether it was Qin Xiaochu or the crown prince Qin Qiongyu, or even the cheap Ningyu King Qin Lan, and The other princes' desire for the throne is getting stronger and stronger.

Su Tianji stroked his chin and said, "However, the prince's background is indeed strong enough. I'm really a little surprised that Dongfang Hongtu was so arrogant in the court that day, and the emperor didn't order him to be killed."

Le Han twitched his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Xiaochu who had a calm face, and said nothing.

too womb.

"Your Highness," Yingfeng came to report, "Recently, Prince Xuan's Mansion has been very quiet, and nothing unusual can be seen."

The prince put down the writing brush in his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, quiet, the more quiet the more it meant something was wrong, this time Qin Xiaochu didn't take advantage, on the contrary, he was punished and grounded Convinced, he is a calm and experienced person, even if he is not convinced, he will not be seen by others, let alone himself.

"Your Highness," Su Wen reported, "in the past few days, Su Tianji has been in and out of the palace frequently, and he has won the trust of the emperor, as well as King Ning Yu Qin Lan."

"Hmph," the prince sneered with a sneer, and his narrow phoenix eyes were full of disdain, "Su Tianji, father is just putting on a show, whether to stay or kill, until the end, will Su Tianji's life be worth it?" Keep it, it's really hard to say."

"What about Qin Lan?" Su Wen said rather worriedly, "Since you had a dispute with King Xuan in the court, the emperor summoned Ning Yu to enter the palace every day, and stayed by his side to wait on her. The servant listened to Eunuch Wei who was next to the emperor, The emperor even discussed the memorial with King Ning Yu."

The prince didn't say a word, but just wrote a quiet word, now it's a truce, let Qin Lan be proud for a while.

In this palace, the prince thought that his biggest enemy was Qin Xiaochu, and the others didn't pay attention at all.

"Suwen, take some things to see Eunuch Li next to the Queen Mother. It will be the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days."

Su Wen rolled his eyes and nodded in understanding.

Wanting to solve Qin Lan is just a matter of moving a finger.

Queen Mother's birthday.

The old queen's [-]th birthday, the emperor has always been filial, so it was naturally festive, with lanterns and festoons, it was very lively.

And this day was also the day when Qin Xiaochu and the crown prince relieved Chu's confinement.

A group of people continued to congratulate the Queen Mother, and the emperor was also in a very happy mood. After saluting, the princes and grandsons all took out the congratulatory gifts they had prepared. They finally seized such an opportunity of self-expression, and no one would let it go.

What Qian Wuyan presented was a Baifu fan. The empress dowager touched the little guy's head, and she was so happy that she kept praising his cleverness from ear to ear.

The crown prince showed a pair of golden phoenixes from the Nanyue Kingdom. They are auspicious and suitable for the occasion and people. Since the ban has just been lifted, naturally they should not be too publicized, lest the father be suspicious again. What the crown prince has to do is to make himself The emperor's father trusted himself again and only believed in himself.

Qin Xiaochu also very low-key took out the Buddhist scriptures that he had handwritten and presented them. The empress dowager always liked Buddhist scriptures the most. Seeing Qin Xiaochu being so caring, she couldn't help but praise him. Even the emperor looked at him with softer eyes.

Copying the Buddhist scriptures at least shows that during this month, he really put his heart on the wall and thought about his mistakes.

Qin Xiaochu must make sure that every signal he sends out is definitely seen by his father, and all of this must be done silently, and he must not be as public as he was in the court last time.

Everyone knows that these days, Qin Lan is very popular with his father, and this time at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, she will not let go of this opportunity to express herself.

"My grandson heard that the Queen Mother likes parrots the most, so I specially found a red-billed parrot to make sure that the Queen Mother likes it."

As Qin Lang spoke, she took off the covering outside the cage, but the moment she lifted it, everyone was shocked.

It turned out to be a dead parrot.

The queen mother put away her smile. On a very auspicious day, Qin Lan unexpectedly gave away a dead parrot without knowing the superiority of the heavens and the earth. It was simply looking for death.

The Empress Dowager paused for joy, and immediately her face was covered with a cloud of anger. On the day of her birthday, a sudden death occurred, which was a sign of great evil.

The emperor didn't say much, but he ordered someone to take Qin Lan away, and he helped the empress dowager who looked ugly back to the bedroom. The birthday banquet, which was thought to be a happy one, turned out to be like this in the end.

"It's a pity," the prince curled his lips coldly, "it really is a top-notch red-billed parrot, but now it's turned into a corpse."

Why did Qin Lan's parrot die in the cage? The person who knows best should be the sharp-eyed prince Qin Qiongyu. Recently, because of foot restraint and forming a party for personal gain, the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the prince and wants to return to his father's side. For the trust of his father, he had to kick the person standing in front of him, King Ning Yu Qin Lan.

But at the birthday banquet, father would only suspect Qin Xiaochu alone, and would not suspect himself who had been sick for many days and had been trapped in the East Palace without going out. It is unknown.

"It seems that King Ningyu is doomed this time," Qin Qiongyu looked at Qin Xiaochu and said, "I just don't know what King Xuan thinks."

Qin Xiaochu curled her lips coldly: "Prince, it doesn't matter what this king thinks. Someone should know more about how the parrot that Qin Lan dedicated to the emperor's grandmother died."

"You're right," the prince responded with a sneer.

Standing on one side, Su Tianji looked at the two brothers who were a bit perverted, and said that the Hou family was as deep as the sea, and now that the palace is so vigorous, it can only be described in one sentence.

Where there are people is the rivers and lakes. Although the people in the palace do not really see swords and swords, they really kill people in such an invisible way.

The prince proudly left, Qin Xiaochu had a cold face, and wanted to go over to see Qin Lan, but after the prince's provocation just now, he really lost all interest.

"Are you really not going?" Su Tianji asked after chasing after him, "It's better to take a look, it will be very beneficial to you."

Qin Xiaochu didn't answer, the prince's attack was extremely ruthless this time, he lived in the East Palace for a long time, and when he went out for the first time, naturally there was no suspicion, he and Qin Lan should be regarded as close, the Prince Xuan's mansion was located outside the palace, and the emperor was unable to monitor , who knows what he did again.

Even if the royal father ruled out his doubts about him, he would still feel a little bit afraid of him, and even more alienated.

Father believes that Qin Lan also has the same heart to fight for the throne. The reason why he favors him now is mainly because he wants to quell the last dispute, but this time on his birthday, such a thing will happen. You can't think of someone playing tricks behind your back.

Now he is indifferent, but he seems to regard himself as a victim, a victim between King Xuan and the prince, a victim, so that the emperor will alienate the two of them even more, and his position will become more and more stable.

This is a dangerous move, but also a high move.
