Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 319
"Yuan Ce!"

With a cold shout, Li Xuanye made a swift move, pulling Zhao Xiwei behind him.

Concubine Pei only felt a pain in her shoulder, and her arms had been cut back by several guards.

As the highest-ranking concubine in the entire harem, she looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Her hair was disheveled, and the gold hairpin was inserted obliquely, and her fair face was also red and purple because of extreme anger.

With tears all over her face and twisted facial features, she looked ferocious and miserable, without the slightest dignity of a noble concubine, like a female ghost wandering in the wild.

She struggled and cried and cursed: "I am a noble concubine! What kind of situation are you going to put His Royal Highness Prince Jin in when you treat me like this!"

Li Xuanye watched coldly from the side, and when she heard the mention of King Jin, he raised his hand and told Cao De: "Your imperial concubine is tired, please take care of Eunuch Cao to send you home!"

"This……"

How dare Cao De respond?

I had no choice but to look at the emperor, and saw that he was resting his forehead with his hand, looking very tired, so he discussed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's go back first, shall we?"

Concubine Pei burst into tears, and cried: "Your Majesty! You have to trust the concubine, what the concubine didn't do, she didn't do! It was the Zhao family who conspired to frame the concubine!"

She had lost control of her emotions, crying heartbrokenly, without any restraint, and without any sense of beauty.

The emperor didn't scold or question, but he raised his hand feebly and said, "The imperial concubine is tired, Cao De, you send her back so that someone can take good care of her."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Cao De nodded to Yuan Ce.

The guards in brocade clothes and swords helped the noble concubine out of the palace gate.

It is said to be helping, but because the imperial concubine is extremely uncooperative, it is no different from dragging and dragging...

"Your Majesty—" With her desperate cry, the shaky steps on the bun fell to the ground with a "slap", and the phoenix tail inlaid with gold and jade shattered into several pieces. part.

Li Xuanye's eyes fell on the phoenix tail, and he froze slightly.

There was no sound in the hall, especially the concubines, the way they looked at Zhao Xiwei changed.

The imperial concubine is an old man who has been with the emperor, so she is going to do it like this?
The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel, but the more aggrieved I feel, the more frightened I feel.

So what can I do, they rely on the support of the prince!

The arrogance of the crowd immediately subsided to freezing point.

But there is one exception.

She squinted her long and narrow phoenix eyes, scanning Zhao Xiwei's face back and forth with impunity.

This person is the Queen Mother.

She put on a smile and said: "Aijia heard from you just now that the imperial concubine used colorless flowers to cover up the traces of poisoning? But the Ai family has never seen that colorless and tasteless flower. Why don't the princesses let Ai Let’s get acquainted with each other?”

Facing her poisonous snake-like gaze, Zhao Xiwei involuntarily took half a step back.

Maybe it was because the shadow of the eyeball digging incident last time was too deep, or maybe she was not strong enough to compete with the Queen Mother.

In short, even though the truth about the princess's poisoning had just been exposed, Zhao Xiwei still had the idea of ​​escaping from the queen mother.

It's like in the dark night where you can't see your fingers, when you see ghosts floating around and hear screams and cries behind you, people will instinctively want to run and escape.

But at the same time, she also knew that this kind of ghost shadow followed like a shadow, and this cry penetrated everywhere.

No matter how fast she runs, she cannot escape forever.

This feeling of being firmly suppressed made her breathless.

"I don't care about the Queen Mother." At this moment, someone took her hand.

His palm was warm and thick, his fingers were slender and strong, so gentle and firm, he gently held her cold fingertips.

He smiled at the queen mother, and replied calmly: "Colorless flowers are difficult to find, but it is not impossible."

The Queen Mother let out an "oh", looked at the young man and woman in front of her with interest, and said, "Then within three days, can the Crown Princess give Aijia a satisfactory answer?"

Zhao Xiwei hesitated and said: "Empress Dowager, the blooming of the colorless flower depends on the weather. It hasn't snowed in the past few days, so I'm afraid..."

"Seven days, how about it?" The Queen Mother interrupted her explanation forcefully, "The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the Ai family doesn't want to delay it until next year."

Zhao Xi bit his lips slightly, and was about to speak.

"It won't take that long."

Li Xuanye took half a step forward with no expression on his face, protected Zhao Xiwei behind him, and said flatly, "One day is enough."

The queen mother's phoenix eyes raised lightly: "The prince is so confident, isn't he afraid of letting the Ai family see the joke?"

Li Xuanye smiled faintly: "Grandmother is worrying too much, when will my grandson show you a joke?"

The queen mother stared at him for a long while before uttering a word coldly: "Then, the Ai family is waiting for your good news!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and said lazily: "After watching the play for a long time, Ai's family is also exhausted, so drive back to the palace!"

……

After finding out the truth about the little princess's vomiting, the imperial doctor also has a way to detoxify.

After a while, someone from the palace came in with the decocted medicinal soup.

The emperor held the bowl, scooped up half a spoonful, and brought it to his lips.

Li Xuanye stretched out his hand: "Father..."

"It's okay." The emperor stopped his movements, "When you and Lingxi were young, which one was sick that I didn't taste the decoction?"

Li Xuanye frowned: "The colorless flower has not been identified..."

What if someone mixed the colorless flower into the medicine and the emperor drank it?
The emperor laughed, and there was a detachment in his tone that looked down on life and death: "It is precisely because of this that I want to taste it myself..."

He pondered, looking at Li Xuanye's eyes, suddenly became solemn and solemn: "You are the prince of the East Palace, the son I value most, anyone in this palace can have something to do, but you can't have anything, you Understand?"

"Father..." Li Xuanye called softly.

"I know your filial piety." The emperor's eyes fell on Zhao Xiwei, and he smiled gently: "Now you have your own princess, self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace... step by step, you should Take it easy..."

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending that he was an invisible person.

Knowing that the emperor trusted Li Xuanye extremely, he never expected that the relationship between father and son would be so straightforward.

These words are equivalent to telling him straightforwardly: If I die one day, you will be enthroned immediately!
Since ancient times, which emperor has not been greedy for power?Which emperor does not pursue longevity?Which emperor dared to say such a thing to the prince?
And which prince didn't immediately kneel in front of the emperor and weep bitterly after hearing such words?

Not only to cry, but also to swear, expressing that he has absolutely no intention of becoming an emperor.

But Li Xuanye did nothing.

Zhao Xi looked at the hem of the skirt slightly, waited for a long time, but didn't hear him speak, so he couldn't help but secretly glanced over.

Suddenly I was stunned.

He looked at the emperor with faint eyes, nostalgic and sad.

Like a young animal that has just grown up, staring at a lion that has high hopes for itself.

After feeding the medicine to the sleepy Nan Xing, the emperor wiped the corners of her mouth with a cotton towel.

Looking at his sleeping little daughter, he slowly broke the silence: "What happened today..."

He hesitated, and suddenly made a major decision: "Let's do it!"
