The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The celebration banquet in Qionglin Garden is over.

Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren are on their way back to Kunde Hall.

"When the Empress left, her face was as gloomy as water. It was really scary." Pan Cairen thought of what happened at the celebration banquet just now, his eyes were full of panic and fear. "I was so scared that I didn't dare to vent my anger."

"Me too." Poppy was also quite frightened just now. "The Queen's eyes look as if she wants to swallow Concubine Rong alive."

The fifth princess was terrified by what happened at the previous banquet, and she hasn't recovered yet.

"In the past, although the Empress and Concubine Rong held a stick and a gun when talking, it was not like just now..." Pan Cairen considered his words carefully, "Are they tearing their faces apart?"

Yu Meiren said: "It should be." As she spoke, a strange look appeared on her face, "Although Concubine Rong has always ignored the Empress Empress, she has always been arrogant and domineering in front of the Empress Empress, but she has never been like today. So aggressive at night."

Pan Cairen continued what Yu Meiren said: "Concubine Rong looks like the empress..." She didn't dare to say the following words, but both Yu Meiren and Liang Zhaoyi understood what she meant.

Yu Meiren first looked around and saw that there was no one else except them, so she lowered her voice and said, "The meaning of what Concubine Rong said to Empress Empress seems to be saying that Empress Empress will soon be an emperor..." Before she finished speaking, Liang Zhaoyi covered her mouth.

Liang Zhaoyi warned her: "Be careful that the walls have ears."

Yu Meiren nodded quickly, and Liang Zhaoyi let go of her hand.

"If you have anything to say, go back and talk."

Pan Cairen and Yu Meiren nodded repeatedly, not daring to talk about what happened at the celebration banquet.

"Gui Xing, how about going to see the celebration banquet in Chaoyang Palace?" Liang Zhaoyi was still not at ease with Zhao Yao, "Call Tongxi out and ask."

"Yes, servant girl is going now." After Gui Xing saluted, she walked towards Chaoyang Hall.

"I don't know what's going on in Chaoyang Palace." Yu Meiren was also worried about Zhao Yao, "I don't know if Yao Yao was scared?"

Pan Cairen said: "There are so many ministers and relatives of the emperor, Yaoyao must be scared." The most important thing is that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang are both present.

"I'm not worried that he will be frightened." The son was very courageous, "I'm worried that he will eat to fill his stomach." There are many dishes at the celebration banquet tonight that he likes to eat, especially beef.He wanted to eat beef wholeheartedly, and she was afraid that he would finish the beef at the banquet tonight.

"Yaoyao has been talking about eating beef, maybe she can really fill her stomach." Yu Meiren smiled and said, "I have digestive medicine over there."

Seeing that the fifth princess had not spoken, Liang Zhaoyi cast her eyes at Yu Mei, and Yu Mei understood.

Before returning to Kunde Hall, Gui Xing came back.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has already left, and the celebration banquet in the Chengguang Hall is over. Your Highness should have gone back."

Yu Meiren was surprised and said, "The celebration banquet in Chengguang Hall is over, why so soon?"

Pan Cairen looked surprised, and said: "Isn't there a special celebration banquet for His Royal Highness tonight? The emperor loves His Royal Highness so much, why did he leave so early?"

Liang Zhaoyi guessed: "Maybe the emperor has something to do." Thinking that her son had already returned to the Kunde Hall, she hurriedly said, "Let's go back quickly."

"it is good."

Several people quickened their pace.After a while, he arrived at the Kunde Palace and found that Zhao Yao had not returned.

"Where's Yaoyao?"

"Didn't you say that Yaoyao is back?"

Gui Xing said: "The eunuch of Chaoyang Palace told the servants that His Highness has already left."

"I guess I went to Xingde Palace." Liang Zhaoyi guessed, "I should be back later."

She looked at Yu Meiren and the fifth princess, "Go back and rest."

"Sister, let's go back then."

Liang Zhaoyi reminded again: "Remember to drink a bowl of calming soup before going to bed." She suddenly thought of something, and said to Poppy, "Xiao Wu was scared tonight, you put a pair of scissors under her pillow, so that she There will be no nightmares at night."

"okay, I get it."

Gui Xing looked at the back of Yu Meiren leading the fifth princess away, and she couldn't help but worry on her face: "Your Majesty, the fifth princess didn't say a word all this way, and she was quite frightened."

The fifth princess was taciturn in front of other people, but she was a lively and talkative girl in front of Liang Zhaoyi and the others.However, she just came back from Qionglin Court, and she didn't say a word on the way.

"Let's not say she's a child, even us adults were frightened." Sitting on the couch, Liang Zhaoyi sighed slightly and said, "There are no more peaceful days in this palace."

"Mother, does Concubine Rong think that if His Royal Highness comes back, she will be able to replace Empress Empress?"

"It should be because the emperor bestowed Kong Taichang's youngest daughter in marriage to the acting king." Concubine Rong is eyeing the position of queen, and everyone in the harem knows it.Furthermore, Concubine Rong has never concealed her ambitions.However, Concubine Rong has never been so domineering like tonight.

"She thinks that His Royal Highness will soon replace the crown prince as the crown prince." Concubine Rong's words and deeds tonight said that she would soon become a queen.

"Young lady, does the emperor really want His Royal Highness to be the crown prince?"

"That's not something we should be concerned about."

"My maidservant thinks His Highness the Crown Prince is very good." Gui Xing felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was better than His Royal Highness Dai Wang, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a gentle temperament and is kind to others. But His Royal Highness Dai Wang..." At this point, she didn't dare to say any more.

Liang Zhaoyi shook her head and said, "Whether it's His Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness, it has nothing to do with us."

Gui Xing understood Liang Zhaoyi's meaning, nodded quickly and said: "Your Majesty is talking about it, it's the servant girl talking too much."

"You go to Xingde Palace to have a look." Liang Zhaoyi was still not at ease with Zhao Yao, "See if Yaoyao feels uncomfortable after eating."

"The slave is going here."

Gui Xing went to Xingde Palace and learned that Zhao Yao did not come to Xingde Palace with the Eighth Prince.Gui Xing hurriedly asked where Zhao Yao had gone, but the eunuch guarding the gate of Xingde Palace said he didn't know.

She didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to report to Liang Zhaoyi that Zhao Yao was not in Xingde Palace.

"Your Majesty, will something happen to your Highness?"

"No, where should he go to play?"

"Your Majesty, why don't the servants go out and look for it?"

"No, he should be back soon." Liang Zhaoyi was not worried about her son's accident, "I'm tired, please wait for me to take a bath."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhao Yao, who was worried by Gui Xing, was at the well at a remote corner of the palace at the moment.

There was a eunuch kneeling on the ground, sobbing.

Tong Xi squatted in front of the eunuch, raised his hand and patted him on the back, comforting him and said, "Speak out if you have any grievances, and His Highness the Tenth Highness will make the decision for you."

Zhao Yao said: "If I can help you, I will definitely help you decide."

The eunuch shook his head while crying.

"What is it that even His Highness can't help you?" Seeing that the eunuch didn't say anything, Tong Xi couldn't help feeling anxious.

"What did the third brother do to you to force you to die?" The eunuch in front of them was the one they met last time, and it was the eunuch who was good at painting beside the third prince.

Tai listened to Zhao Yao's words, and his body immediately became stiff.He knelt down on the ground in shock, forgetting to cry.

"It really is what the third brother did to you."

"Did the Third Highness mistreat you?"

The eunuch shook his head vigorously: "No...it's not...it's because I don't want to live anymore." He said, and kowtowed heavily to Zhao Yao, "His Royal Highness, thank you for saving the slave, but the slave can't Live, slaves will implicate you."

"Do you know the third brother's secret?"

The eunuch bit his lip tightly and did not speak.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Yao knew he had guessed right.

"Your servant will not die, and His Highness will not let you go." After the eunuch finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and jumped into the well.

All this happened so fast that neither Zhao Yao nor Tong Xi could react.When Tong Tongxi realized it, the eunuch had already jumped into the well.

Concubine Rong: I will soon be a queen.

Empress Xie: I'm not dead yet, don't even think about it!
