fake prince

Chapter 216 Ah Fu

Concubine Wu pondered for a long time, then nodded her head: "You are right, it is far better to be close to a talented young master than to be close to that monk."

After pondering for a while, he said: "However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long term. You old slave only needs to keep an eye on it, and you are not allowed to do unnecessary things!"

"This old slave understands!" Madam Xu immediately lowered her head and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the princess is here!" At this moment, someone at the gate of the palace reported, Concubine Wu glanced at Madam Xu, and she immediately stepped aside.

Soon, the girl who had changed into a new dress came in quickly, with a relaxed smile, and wantonness on both her body and face.

Concubine Wu looked at her approaching lovingly, and gently reprimanded her: "Are you in a hurry, kid? Look, you're sweating."

He took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid, and gently wiped off Princess Xinping's sweat.

Princess Xinping smiled and said, "Concubine Mu, because I miss you!"

Handing the handkerchief back to the maid, she took Princess Xinping's hand again and sat down at the table where the meal was set.

"Miss the concubine mother? Then stay with the concubine mother honestly. Your father is worried about you. You girl will let your concubine mother, so that your father can rest easy."

"Again, talk about me!" Princess Xinping pouted, "You're going to learn from your father, and he will talk about me when he sees you, and you are the same now, mother concubine!"

"Your father is doing it for your own good!" Pinching her face, Concubine Wu said helplessly.

Seeing that Princess Xinping lowered her head and did not speak, she could only shake her head: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's have dinner."

She didn't notice that Eunuch An, one of the chief eunuchs standing not far away, covered his emotions with downcast eyes.

At the entrance of the side hall of Pixiang Palace, a young eunuch was coming out, because it was the time for shift change, so naturally no one else would pay special attention to it.

The little eunuch walked all the way to a secluded place, and seeing no one was paying attention to him, he trotted to the Empress' Yong'an Palace.

Completely different from Concubine Wu's Pixiang Palace, Yong'an Palace is magnificent, but most of the palace is deserted, and one can see a bleak atmosphere at a glance.

When we arrived at the apse where the queen was currently staying, there was a little warmth, but both the people inside and the servants outside were very quiet.

"Little Shunzi, why are you here?" Zhaoxia, the queen's maid, was coming out of the room, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Shunzi from Pixiang Palace coming, she hurriedly pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Zhaoxia, let my godfather let me come!" Xiao Shunzi said.

"Princess Xinping met a young man named Su Ziji by chance today. Concubine Wu seemed a little tempted, and she didn't know which faction Su Ziji belonged to. My godfather thought this was weird, so he asked me to come here quickly, okay?" Report it to the Empress Dowager.”

"About Princess Xinping?" Zhao Xia was relieved.

It doesn't matter if someone wants to attack the empress again, but it's just a princess, so what if she is favored?

Thinking so, since Eunuch An sent someone to pass the news, Zhaoxia naturally went in to report.

"Let him come in and answer." Surrounded by the warm fragrance in the apse, an elderly woman who can still see the beauty of her youth was reading a book with her eyes down, and said calmly when she heard Zhaoxia's report.

Xiao Shunzi hurried in and knelt down to answer.

"Su Ziji, tell me, that boy's name is Su Ziji?" The queen asked again as if she didn't understand clearly.

Xiao Shunzi replied below: "Going back to your mother, that's what they said. The young master's name is Su Ziji."

"Is that so." The phoenix eyes unknowingly became a little wet, the queen quickly covered it up, even Zhaoxia didn't know that the empress's face turned a little pale all of a sudden.

Could it be that Princess Xinping lived recklessly and was favored by the emperor, making the empress think of the sad things back then?

Xiao Shunzi, who was kneeling below, had been greatly favored by the empress's family, and the same was true of his godfather, Eunuch An. This matter was hidden, and no one noticed that they were actually the empress's people.

Although he was young, he was able to succeed in Pixiang Palace not only because of his godfather's blessing, but also because he had some abilities himself.

Because of this, seeing the queen's face suddenly pale when she heard the son's name, she thought it was because the queen was upset that the emperor doted on the princess too much, so she boldly asked, "Ma'am, do you want to go back and report to godfather, so as to stop this matter?"

"Then you..." The queen wanted to say stop, but shook her head again: "No, you go back and tell Eunuch An that you don't need to deal with this matter. Don't even inquire about Su Ziji's matter."

"...Yes." Xiao Shunzi's heart trembled, and he was keenly aware that there was something wrong here, so he hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Xiao Shunzi, go back quickly, don't let anyone find out."

"You all go down too, Yu Han, you stay." Let Xiao Shunzi leave, and the empress asked Zhao Xia and the ladies and nuns to retreat, leaving only Yu Han, the chief eunuch of Yong'an Palace, in the hall.

"Ah Fu, Ah Fu, my Ah Fu..." The queen dared to show her emotions after everyone had retreated. She murmured this nickname, but felt heartbroken, and the pain dragged her whole body into the abyss.

The appearance of the prince seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and when she called out, she responded with a smile: "Mother's queen!"

Her Ah Fu, such a filial child, ended up like this!

Although he was framed by someone and there are witnesses and material evidence, a father really can't wait to find out the truth. I really don't know that the prince might be framed?

He was so eager to kill Ah Fu, and even the women and children were not spared, and even the three-year-old grandson was brutally murdered.

Not necessarily, isn't it because seeing the prince grow up year by year and gaining a good name, but he himself got sick, so he became jealous. Otherwise, how could an emperor who had subdued his ministers to rule for many years be blinded?

So what if you regret it afterwards, so what if you killed Zou Qiuyu, it was just a hypocrisy!

I really regret that I should have killed all those people, instead of not daring to send a concubine with family support to the throne in order to prevent the prince's incident from happening again, so that I can always occupy the queen's phoenix seat.

There is no love here, it is clearly fear.

A once wise and mighty emperor was afraid because of an illness that year. He was afraid to gather alchemists in the dark and secretly refine the so-called elixir!

How ridiculous it is to want to live forever!

If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a sliver of reason, he had always been jealous of the monster race and the alchemists, and he didn't do anything publicly, and it would not be impossible to repeat the mistakes of the last years of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The entire harem, that is, Concubine Wu is smarter, knowing that the muddy water cannot be navigated, and knowing that cruel people are the most cruel, ruthless, and ungrateful.

It's a pity that such a smart woman has a naive daughter.

But the queen quickly thought that, no matter how naive, Princess Xinping, as the old daughter of the current emperor, is indeed favored. Thinking of her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter who died tragically back then, the queen felt palpitations and her face turned red. Calm down slowly.

"Your Majesty, no matter how sad you are, you have to take care of your phoenix body." As the only eunuch who knows something about the inside story, Yu Han is also approaching his fifties. He was the queen's cronies before she entered the palace. .

He sighed, and persuaded: "You don't have to worry about the little emperor's grandson, the emperor will definitely not fulfill Wu Concubine's wish."

Although the little emperor's grandson grew up among the people, the emperor already knew his identity, even if it might never be revealed, but the blood was real, the emperor could not allow the generation to be messed up.
