Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 422 Meeting Concubine Luo for the First Time
As soon as Suyu finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Qi Jinzhi pushed the door open, and walked in with a gust of cold wind.

"It's so late, seeing that the lights are still on here, I know you're still awake."

When he approached, Mu Changge could clearly feel the icy cold air coming towards him, "The hot soup is ready, bring some quickly."

Seeing that he drank half a bowl of soup before his face became rosy, Mu Changge asked, "What happened in the palace?"

"It's not that something happened in the palace, it's that the father is still angry and wants to abolish the prince."

What he said lightly from his mouth shocked Mu Changge's heart, "Does everyone already know now?"

Qi Jinzhi shook his head, "The abolishment of the crown prince will naturally not cause too much trouble. It would be bad if it caused panic among the people. But in the palace, the news may have already spread."

"Besides, I'm not the only one who went today, the prince is also here." Qi Jinzhi said again, "Father, it seems that he doesn't even want to give him a chance."

"Then, what happened next?" Mu Changge asked.

"Later, if there was only the father, there should be nothing complicated, but the queen also learned the news, and after some disputes, she moved out the emperor's grandfather's will. The father has no choice but to let this matter go for now."

Mentioning this matter, Qi Jinzhi couldn't help frowning, and Mu Changge understood what he meant.The emperor was afraid that he made such a decision this time out of anger, but this decision was a bit too irrational.

By doing this, he was undoubtedly urging the queen and the prince to kill Qi Jinzhi as soon as possible if they wanted to keep the throne.Instead of gaining anything for him, his current thoughts will push him to the cusp of the storm.

Mu Changge picked the wick again, "So it's still stuck, right?"

Hearing her question, Qi Jinzhi frowned.

The abolition of the crown prince is a matter related to Cangde, the monarch, his ministers and the common people. If he is so hasty, it will inevitably cause rumors among the common people.What's more, Cangde's future new emperor, even if he is the emperor, if the ministers in the court just refuse to accept, sooner or later there will be rebels to rebel. This is what the empress said so convincingly that the emperor dismissed this year for the time being.

"The empress also said today that she didn't do this because she was greedy for the throne. If the prince is really not what the officials want, then she will accept it calmly and let the prince give up the throne." Qi Jin way.

Mu Changge raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "What the queen said, is it putting the cart before the horse? Of course, the ministers are betting on who is the king's heart, just like a gambler. How can it be possible to choose who to rely on?" Let them choose?"

If it is true according to what the queen said, most of the people in the court are supporting Qi Jinzhi. Doesn't it mean that she has tacitly agreed that she does not intend to fight for the throne anymore?

These days, she has a general understanding of Qi Jinzhi's situation. In the current court, Qi Jinzhi's power is comparable to that of the prince.

But among the group of forces supporting the crown prince, quite a few are followers of the queen, and the rest just think that with the help of the queen, it is more likely that the crown prince will successfully ascend the throne.Once the emperor made it clear that the person he really wanted to inherit was the Seventh Prince, not the Crown Prince, they would definitely turn against him immediately.

It seems really unwise for the queen to do so.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jinzhi chuckled, "If it's counted by numbers, it's true what you said, but you have to know that some people alone have more power to speak than all the others combined. "

"This time, the father and the queen have reached an agreement. Whether or not to abolish the crown prince depends on what Taishi Cui thinks."

"Teacher Cui?"

This was the first time Mu Changge heard about this person since he came to Cangde, and he couldn't help being curious.

"The Grand Master has not been involved in political affairs for many years, and has been concentrating on caring for his life at home. But even though he has not participated in political affairs for many years, he is still highly respected, and even his father respects him very much. The Grand Master is also the enlightenment master of me and the prince, guiding us all the way The two of you have been impartial for many years, and have never treated anyone less favorably."

"In these years, it can even be said that the Grand Master is the one who understands the two of us best. Therefore, the Queen Mother proposed to listen to the Grand Master's meaning, and the Emperor Father has nothing else to say. It will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, listen According to Father, I will invite Grand Master into the palace on Shangyuan Festival to discuss this matter with him."

Shangyuan Festival, isn't that three days later?Mu Changge paused again, and that inexplicable ominous premonition swept over again.

Three days later, there will be no peace in the harem, and Qi Jinzhi's success or failure will depend on it.Mu Changge looked solemn, and thought to himself.

"After three days, if I can come back safely, everything will be fine. If I can't come back..."

"I want to enter the palace with you." Mu Changge interrupted him resolutely and simply, "On the Lantern Festival, there must be a lantern appreciation ceremony in the palace. There are very few taboos on this festival. If you take me into the palace, it is absolutely impossible It's not a bad rule."

She absolutely can't let him enter the palace alone, the power in the palace must be mostly the Queen's, she just said what she didn't want to see him fighting alone.

Qi Jinzhi insisted on refusing. Seeing this, Suyu curled her lips, "Your Highness, please agree to her. Isn't Your Highness not aware of our young lady's stubborn nature? If His Highness doesn't come back tonight, I'm afraid the young lady will stay here." Sit all night."

"Even if you don't agree, she will always have a way to enter the palace. It's better to stay with His Highness to be safe. If His Highness doesn't believe it, just stop her and see if she can go in by herself."

"Suyu is right, what I have decided, no one will do it without permission." Mu Changge looked at him, without the slightest sign of shrinking back.

Seeing that she couldn't resist her, Qi Jinzhi had no choice but to agree. Afterwards, he still didn't forget to tell her, "It's fine to go together, and you must not do anything dangerous secretly without telling me."

Three days passed, and it was the Shangyuan Festival in the blink of an eye.

The Shangyuan Festival in Cangde is even more lively than Bai'an. Before nightfall, the streets and alleys are full of lanterns.

The folks are still lively, needless to say in the palace, even the lanterns hanging at the gate of the palace have been replaced with some extraordinarily stylish ones.

As soon as he entered the palace, a small eunuch rushed over from afar, looking very happy.

"Your Highness Seven, Your Highness Seven! Concubine Luo has kept her servants waiting for you for a long time. Concubine Luo has just made glutinous rice balls and is waiting for you to go with Miss Mu!"

Hearing the word Luo Fei, Mu Changge immediately remembered that Luo Fei was Qi Jinzhi's biological mother.It's just that she has been in Cangde for so long, but she hasn't seen Concubine Luo yet.

Together with Qi Jinzhi, they went to Concubine Luo's bedroom. Just by looking at this palace, it is not difficult for people to understand how much the emperor loves Concubine Luo's mother and son. Mother and child are regarded as objects that have to be eradicated.

However, Concubine Luo's palace is not as lively as other places, only a few lanterns are simply hung, but the sweet smell of glutinous rice balls wafts in the air, adding a bit of humanness to the cold palace Fireworks.

"Changge has met Concubine Luo." Stepping in, Mu Changge bowed respectfully and saluted.

Then, an extremely gentle female voice sounded immediately, "You don't have to be so polite when you come to Bengong. I have heard of you a long time ago, and I finally saw you today. Get up quickly, and let Bengong take a good look at you."

At the same time as she heard the voice, a pair of extremely soft hands appeared on Mu Changge's arms, helping her up from the ground.

"Changge thanked Concubine Luo." Mu Changge got up gracefully, and when she finally saw Concubine Luo's appearance, she suddenly felt astonished.

Although the years have left marks on her face, this does not hinder her in the slightest, Luo Fei is still an out-and-out beauty.

Concubine Luo's beauty is the bright flowers shining in the water, quiet and gentle, not at all similar to the queen's ostentatious beauty.The corners of her eyes and brows, every frown and smile, are all gentle and uncontested.

But she gave people the impression that she was too aloof from the world. Mu Changge was keenly aware that even when facing her, Luo Concubine was still a little timid, which had nothing to do with her identity. It was extremely disproportionate, but she looked more like an ordinary woman with a restrained temperament.

Ordering people to deliver glutinous rice balls, Concubine Luo was hesitant to speak at first, looked at Mu Changge, sighed softly, and said, as if she had made up her mind, "Your father invited Taishi Cui here today. .”

"Didn't the mother and concubine already know about it?" Qi Jinzhi smiled and bit into a glutinous rice ball, and the aroma of sesame seeds overflowed immediately.

"I know, but I know, but the concubine is not afraid of you... Emperor, for so many years, the concubine has been teaching you that the most important thing is to avoid it if you can. Why do you have to compete with them? Doesn't the idea of ​​fighting make the queen want to harm you even more?"

Concubine Luo sighed again, looking at Qi Jinzhi with pleading eyes, "Mother Concubine never expects you to be more than ten thousand people. Wouldn't it be good to just be a safe and idle prince in the future?"

While speaking, Concubine Luo secretly glanced at Mu Changge a few times, the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Mu Changge only held the bowl lightly with both hands, without saying a word.Luo Fei persuaded her to no avail, and she became a little anxious, "How do you want Mother Concubine to tell you to understand, you—"

Concubine Luo hadn't finished speaking when the little eunuch came in hastily, "Concubine Luo, His Majesty the Seventh Highness, the Empress ordered someone to ask when His Highness will go to the Emperor's side, And I asked my wife if you want to go with me?"

Hearing that the empress ordered someone to ask, Concubine Luo shook her hand and nearly smashed a bowl of glutinous rice balls on the ground, then tried to calm down, and said forcefully: "I went back to the empress for my palace, and said that His Royal Highness suddenly felt unwell. I'm afraid I can't go."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Luo Fei's words fell, she suddenly heard a voice from outside the door, which made her tremble with shock, her face turned pale——
