Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 274

Relaxing days, like little Yunjue's newly grown teeth, are numbered on one finger.

After the afternoon court, as soon as the emperor returned to Xuanyun Palace, Zhao Muche hurried in.He is the only royal family member who has obtained the emperor's special permission to enter the palace directly without notifying him.

"Is your butt on fire?" The emperor was teasing Yunhui with a rattle.

Zhao Muzhe saluted hurriedly and said: "My people just came back from shopping outside, and when they heard the news, they really burned their butts."

Zhao Muzhe followed the emperor to the study and said, "Prince Xiang is so confused that he actually told people that King Yili is his brother. The vassal kings are brothers to neighboring countries. He is not afraid of being labeled as a rebel." !”

The emperor stopped and smiled: "That's it?"

"That's it... Hey, why do you look like this?" There was no one else around, and Zhao Muche was not polite to the emperor's cousin.

"Prince Xiang has supported me since I was Prince Duan. He won't have such rebellious thoughts. You don't have to listen to the wind or the rain."

Zhao Muzhe didn't leave either, and said disappointedly: "I'm kindly reminding you that in addition to your three brothers, there are many vassal kings outside. Don't wait until something happens to find out. If you don't listen, then I will gone back."

"Wait..." Seeing that he turned around and left, the emperor stopped him again and asked, "What did you buy?"

Zhao Muche smiled and said, "Are you interested in this? My people went over to order cantaloupes for this year, brought back some dried fruits, and sent them to the Queen."

That is to say, after Zhao Muzhe left, the emperor thought about it, and suddenly thought of Kun'er... and called Zhai Kun to the study.

"Zhai Kun, you have to go there yourself this time to see what the Prince of Xiang is doing? To what extent does he and Yili have acquainted with Li Wang? First... don't startle the snake. You can take a look quietly by the way, Xie Pingkun How are you doing in Prince Xiang's mansion?"

What a smart man Zhai Kun was. Xie Pingkun said he was from the bloodline of Prince Zongguixiang, but after all, he was the bloodline of the late emperor.It is normal for the emperor to have concerns.Zhai Kun took the order, asked Yan Er to look at Dongchang, and led Yan Qi Qi out of Kyoto.

The emperor was about to turn back to Xuanyun Palace when he saw Shen Shunhua coming out of Xuanyun Palace.Shen Shunhua hurriedly greeted the emperor.

"Come to see the queen?" the emperor asked with a smile.When his second brother died, he was the second prince, and Shen Shunhua, the widow, was still a high-ranking prince and concubine.

"Back to the emperor, I am here to pay my respects to the queen and the eldest prince." Shen Shunhua still lives in the Shen Mansion and stays with his parents, but he seems to be much more relaxed and at ease.

After entering Xuanyun Palace, the emperor immediately saw a rattan box on the ground.

"What, pack your things?" The emperor walked in with his hands behind his back.

Haitang was still instructing the girls to pack small clothes and fabrics, which looked like clothes worn by half-grown children.

She looked back at Xie Ruitan and smiled: "The second sister-in-law just sent some things over, and I was about to ask my brother to help her deliver them to Prince Xiang's Mansion. I also added some clothing materials, which is a little bit of my respect for Ping Kun. Mind."

Xie Ruitang asked calmly: "How did I find you here? Wouldn't Shen Congxi send it by herself?"

"Why did you forget? Normally, the second sister-in-law cannot go to Kun'er, but what mother can give up her own child? Last year's things were given in my name..."

"Now that you are the Queen, not the Crown Princess, in your name, others will think that it is the Emperor's intention, so it is not the meaning of a few clothes."

Xie Ruitang's vague uneasiness turned into unhappiness. Without waiting for Haitang's reply, he said directly: "I'll find someone to send the things. Just say it's from King Cheng. You don't have to worry about it. From now on, just take care of yourself." Yun Gong, please don't get involved in other people's affairs." Haitang has never seen Xie Ruitang speak to her so seriously, but she felt that what he said made sense. It was indeed her own lack of consideration, so she nodded apologetically. Said: "I understand. When they finish packing, let Chang Le take it out."

Xie Ruitang had something on his mind and did not stay in the palace. He turned around and returned to Wenhua Hall.

"Your Majesty, is the Emperor angry?" Shuang'er asked in a low voice.

Haitang was stunned for a moment and said: "It's my fault that I didn't think carefully about this matter. The emperor is not angry, is he... angry? No, the emperor has something on his mind, so he should be worried."

When Xie Ruitang came back at night, it was already very late. He changed clothes and went to bed. He held Haitang in his arms but said nothing.

Haitang waited for a while, and was about to apologize again for her poor thinking, when she heard Xie Ruitan's even breathing. He had already fallen asleep.

Neither of them mentioned the incident again.The emperor was angry, and he was angry with Prince Xiang, because Zhai Kun had already sent a message back, detailing everything that Prince Xiang had done.

"Prince Xiang is really too much. How can he say such things casually? What if Yili takes Prince Li seriously?" Shen Congxi took Zhai Kun's secret letter and sighed.

"Could it be that when I entrusted Ping Kun to him, he had the illusion that I would always rely on him and didn't dare to kill him?" The emperor said coldly.

Zhao Muzhe was even more filled with righteous indignation: "These foreign vassal kings think that since the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they can do whatever they want. Forget about marrying with foreign countries, they still want to say these words that are humiliating and humiliating the country!"

Prince Xiang was an important force supporting Xie Ruitang together with Prince An when Prince Duan was fighting for the crown prince.Otherwise, even if the emperor is under the control of the court and makes him the prince, he can completely depose him later.

The sons and daughters of Prince Hunan, Fan Yongcheng, Minister of War, have always been on the front line of Xie Ruitang's camp whether it was fighting for the prince or the throne. Xie Ruitang finally ascended the throne smoothly, and the Prince of Hunan family was indispensable.

But now, in addition to what Zhao Muzhe heard, Zhai Kun also found out that Xie Shuyuan, the princess of Prince Xiang, married the eldest son of Prince Yili to become the princess.

It was at that wedding banquet that he said such rebellious words, "If I were the emperor, I would give you everything west of Jiayuguan."And his in-laws also tried their best to tell the king, "You are not the emperor, but there is an emperor in your family"!
"In my world, why should I let him use it as a favor?"

Xie Pingkun can't stay.

Although Shen Congxi didn't hear a word the emperor said about Xie Pingkun, but since someone said this, Xie Pingkun should not be able to escape the crime of having a jade.

Xie Pingkun is only eight years old.

When Shen Congxi returned to the mansion, she heard from her sister that she asked the queen to send some things to Prince Xiang's mansion because Kun'er's eighth birthday was coming.

Shen Congxi was shocked and couldn't help blaming her sister: "Sister, you are so confused! It has nothing to do with you if Kun'er is adopted by Xie Guangzhen. This is stipulated by the patriarchal law of the royal family of the clan mansion. How could you know that you broke the law by yourself, and even made the empress the queen?" Also get involved?"

"No matter where Kun'er goes, I am his biological mother. I can't ask him at ordinary times. What's wrong with giving him something to express his feelings on his birthday?" Shen Shunhua felt aggrieved.

"What else is wrong? You are going to kill Kun'er!"

Shen Congxi blurted out this sentence and immediately regretted it.

But it was too late. Shen Shunhua suddenly stood up from the chair and stared at his brother. Shen An and his wife also looked at him in astonishment.
