noble girl fights father

Chapter 359
Not to mention Concubine Xiao Jing's anger, the imperial concubine who was grounded went crazy when she heard it, and yelled loudly, making others think that the imperial concubine was mad because of the stimulation.

Compared with the imperial concubine, the crown princess is quieter, but her expression is also numb.Yuchi's family has collapsed, they have no support, the princess has long since lost her previous arrogance, and now she regrets not cultivating a relationship with Concubine Zhuang and the prince.

Hearing that the prince had returned to the palace, the princess was very excited, but the prince did not see her.Although the emperor's grandson also came to see the princess, the enthusiasm of the prince's concubine several times caused the emperor to intercede with emperor Xia Hui and let her out, which frightened the emperor.

In the Palace of Compassion, Empress Dowager Cui chanted sutras and recited Buddha all day long, her mood was much calmer, she thought that nothing would cause her to lose control, even if she heard that the crown prince had ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Cui could calmly admit it.

However, the empress dowager Zhuang Guifei's appointment made Empress Dowager Cui's face instantly stern. The Buddha beans picked up yesterday morning were scattered all over the floor, and the wooden fish was thrown out by Empress Dowager Cui and fell directly on the Buddha's body.

With a bang, the Buddha fell directly from the table. Empress Dowager Cui was shocked and woke up.Seeing this, Empress Dowager Cui broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that she had disrespected the Buddha, she hurriedly followed the Buddha to beg for mercy, repenting and kowtowing again.

In the past, Empress Dowager Cui didn't believe in these things. She chanted sutras and recited Buddha's name just for others to see, but after a big blow, Empress Dowager Cui felt that she had offended Buddha, so she also started to believe in Buddha.

"Grandmother" Prince Rong woke up and saw the desolation in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so he walked around and came to the Queen Mother's small Buddhist hall.Listening to the movement of the small Buddha hall outside, and seeing the messy things in the small Buddha hall when he came in, Prince Rong was also stunned there.

Prince Rong's call made Empress Dowager Cui's expression froze for a moment, she slowly got up, and put on a friendly smile on Prince Rong.

"Ping'er is awake, why did you come here? Where are the people waiting by your side?" Empress Dowager Cui looked behind Prince Rong, squinted her eyes, and soon returned to normal.

"Grandmother, my grandson greets you." After Prince Rong finished his salute, he gave Empress Dowager Cui a timid look.

Empress Dowager Cui smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Good boy, you are filial." She took Prince Rong's hand and left the small Buddhist hall. After a while, the nuns and maids came, and Empress Dowager Cui gave them a hard look. Lesson learned.

Prince Rong arrived at Empress Dowager Cui's palace early in the morning, had some snacks, and slept in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.During this period of time, Prince Rong was very close to Empress Dowager Cui, and Empress Dowager Cui loved Prince Rong very much.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Cui's heart was churning violently. Emperor Xia Hui didn't pay attention to her more and more. For such a big matter as the Empress Dowager, he didn't give any notice in advance, and just slapped her in the face so brightly.

She wanted to sue Emperor Xia Hui for being unfilial, but thinking of her son in Emperor Xia Hui's hands, Empress Dowager Cui dared not make a move. on the charge of unfilial piety.

But Empress Dowager Cui made Emperor Xia Hui unhappy, and King Ruijun would have a hard time. Empress Dowager Cui could only endure and live hard.Holding Prince Rong's little hand at this moment, Empress Dowager Cui's eyes were loving, but her eyes were cold in her heart.

Empress Dowager, Empress, Empress Dowager Cui gritted her teeth, she never thought that Concubine Zhuang Guifei would be crowned empress, this was unexpected to her.Empress Dowager Cui only felt that she had been slapped in the face. Concubine Zhuang Guifei didn't know how to laugh at her, so she tried to calm down. Empress Dowager Cui asked herself to bear it. There are still many variables in this.

"Ping'er, your father is the prince, the second prince of this dynasty. Your father was killed. I don't know if he will be able to accommodate you when he comes to power. What if my grandmother is old and can't protect you? .” Empress Dowager Cui presented a sad and worried expression in front of Prince Rong.

Prince Rong froze and looked up at Empress Dowager Cui, "Grandmother, was my father killed by my fourth uncle? Will my fourth uncle kill me?"

Empress Dowager Cui nodded, lowering her eyes slightly to cover the smile in her eyes. Unexpectedly, Prince Rong directly believed that the prince killed the second prince after she said this.

"If you are just an ordinary grandson of the emperor, you will be fine, but your father is the second prince, and you are the grandson of the former emperor. Grandma doesn't know if you will be in danger. Ping'er, as long as grandma lives for a day, Grandmother will protect you~" Empress Dowager Cui sighed, and when she looked at Prince Rong, she thought how wonderful it would be if this was really Prince Rui's child, then it would be her own grandson.

Empress Dowager Cui was a little disappointed after Emperor Xia Hui recognized her grandson, and it is still the case now.

"Then grandma wants to live a hundred years, no, no, grandma wants to live a thousand years, so that she can always protect Ping'er."

"Stupid child, no one can live to be a thousand years old." If she could live to be a hundred years old, it would be a gift from God. Empress Dowager Cui knew that she could not live for such a long time.

Empress Dowager Cui faintly felt that her body was getting worse day by day, and she didn't know when she would go, but she had a thought in her heart, that was to stay until Emperor Xia Hui died, until King Ruijun came out, and until the crown prince was dragged away. Next.

On this day, Empress Dowager Cui told King Rui a lot about the relationship between the second crown prince and the second crown princess, among which there were many conflicts with the crown prince.

Seeing Prince Rong's clenched little hands when he left, Empress Dowager Cui had a sinister smile on her face.

Prince Rong was silent for a while. When he looked at the emperor's grandson, there was inexplicable hostility in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

No matter how Prince Rong was, he was still young, and no matter how well he hid it, he could still see the flaws. Both the Crown Prince and Concubine Zhuang could see it.

"Queen, has Prince Rong gotten closer to the Palace of Compassion and Ning recently?" the prince asked.

Concubine Zhuang was stunned for a moment when she heard the crown prince calling her mother, and then she said: "This empress ceremony has not yet been held, and people have called us, so I can't help but feel that we are frivolous. Let's call me concubine mother. I have heard my son call me concubine for so many years. Your mother and concubine are used to it. You also know that the emperor deeply hates the Yuchi clan now, and now he treats Prince Rong and the grandson of the emperor much worse than before."

Concubine Zhuang was a little more conservative. Emperor Xia Hui's treatment of Prince Rong and the grandson of the emperor was not as good as before, and he simply ignored them.

The prince also understands that it is not a good thing for Prince Rong and Empress Dowager Cui to get close, especially Empress Dowager Cui, although her minions have almost been removed, but who knows if Empress Dowager Cui has any backup.At that time, it will be hard to guard against Queen Mother Cui's demonic son, and the prince will not have the slightest affection for Queen Mother Cui.

"Don't worry about Prince Rong. I hope Empress Dowager Cui can do something. She is too quiet now, and people can't catch her. And after all, she is always the emperor's aunt. The Empress Dowager did not take part in it, but was completely honored and raised by the Emperor."

"The queen mother is cunning." The prince said, the prince would not believe that the king of Ruijun rebelled without the help of the queen mother Cui.But Empress Dowager Cui is really powerful, and quickly picked herself up completely, which would not be a felony for Empress Dowager Cui, so now Emperor Xia Hui can only separate Empress Dowager Cui from power.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Cui was afraid of death, otherwise, if Empress Dowager Cui could really give up her life, once she died, both inside and outside the palace would inevitably suspect that Emperor Xia Hui killed Empress Dowager Cui.

After all, the discord between Empress Dowager Cui and Emperor Xia Hui is also seen by everyone. If Empress Dowager Cui dies and King Rui's rebellion, people may think that Emperor Xia Hui couldn't tolerate his brother and framed him.

"Mother and Concubine, Qing'er is going to Beijing in a month's time." The crown prince said.

A smile appeared on Concubine Zhuang's face, "That will be soon, and I haven't seen Qing'er for several years."

"Mother Concubine, don't worry, Qing'er will be able to catch up with Mother Concubine's conferment ceremony." The prince thought of Yan Qinghao in prison, and couldn't help but said: "Qing'er and Yan Yuheng have come back, and it will be about Sheng Guogong~. "

The prince muttered, he was very puzzled by Emperor Xia Hui. When the prince was talking with Emperor Xia Hui, he also mentioned Yan Qinghao.Emperor Xia Hui felt sorry for Yan Qinghao on the one hand, but on the other hand was very angry.

The crown prince knew that Emperor Xia Hui couldn't tolerate Yan Qinghao anymore, but he didn't kill Yan Qinghao. The crown prince felt that it was not just a matter of Yan Yuheng's return to Beijing, but perhaps it was also a matter of chilling the hearts of the soldiers.

When Concubine Zhuang heard the crown prince mentioned Yan Qinghao, she laughed disdainfully, but this disdain was directed at Emperor Xia Hui, "Your father is very suspicious, and no one can tolerate it. You treat our mother and son like this now. , but he will definitely keep his hand and will not trust us very much. He will not kill Yan Qinghao. Once a person dies, he will be settled, and all his mistakes will go with him. Yan Qinghao was locked up by the emperor and imprisoned. For the rest of his life, everyone praised the emperor for his tolerance, righteousness, and sageness, and it would not affect the morale of the army. Others would only think that Yan Qinghao made a big mistake, which made the emperor have to deal with it like this. They would think that the emperor still misses the old love , the emperor is a person with clear merits and demerits, so this is more beneficial than killing Yan Qinghao."

"Hong'er, your father is just narrow-minded and not confused." This is Concubine Zhuang's evaluation of Emperor Xia Hui. Emperor Xia Hui is indeed a narrow-minded person. It's disgusting, and even negates it to the end.

The prince thought about it the same way, and he was relieved. On the way back to Beijing, the prince was very worried about Yan Qinghao's safety. Once something happened to Yan Qinghao, it would be very troublesome.

It's not that the crown prince didn't want to plead with Emperor Xia Hui to let Yan Qinghao go, but seeing the listed criminal evidence, the crown prince remained silent.If Yan Qinghao is to be saved and the grievances cleared, the evidence of these crimes can be overturned first. Otherwise, even if Emperor Xia Hui released him, it would not be considered innocent, but would be even more filthy.

Therefore, the prince will not intercede, and will not give people another chance to splash dirty water.

A month later, Baili Yanqing and Yan Yuheng's group had already arrived at the gate of Dongcheng, and they finally arrived in Beijing.
