Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 101 The Queen's Worry

Seeing the enchanting figure of that beautiful girl wriggling and gradually disappearing before his eyes, Prince Wu Huangfu's thoughts could not help but drift into a trance again.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was so restless at the moment was mainly because of his mother.

Just now, the reason why Huangfu Haobo is full of anger, even to the point where he doesn't like everything he sees.It was also mainly because he had just come out from the Empress Empress.

As soon as the banquet was over, the Empress, accompanied by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, went straight back to Jinfeng Palace.Not long after that, a maid in charge of Jinfeng Palace returned to Zhile Palace and found Huangfu Haobo again.

Huangfu Haobo is the empress's direct son, so he naturally knows the purpose of the empress's special appointment to find him.So without any hesitation, he followed the maid directly to Jinfeng Palace.

However, after arriving at the Golden Phoenix Palace, Huangfu Haobo discovered that the original mother had such a big prejudice against the setback in the banquet.

Just when Huangfu Haobo entered the inner hall, he was almost hit on the forehead by a jade ruyi that came towards him.Fortunately, Prince Wu possessed superb martial arts skills, so he managed to snatch that priceless treasure safely.Otherwise, even if the jade ruyi handle is not broken, it will be considered useless.

When Huangfu Haobo held the snow-white jade Ruyi in his hands and walked up to the Empress Empress, he saw that her shoulders were trembling, and she seemed to be gnashing her teeth in anger.

"Mother's Empress." Huangfu Haobo called softly behind her: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you have to be so arrogant?"

The Empress suddenly turned her head when she heard the words, and looked at Huangfu Haobo with sharp eyes: "What did you say? A trivial matter? Your son... Do you understand the empress mother's good intentions for you?"

Huangfu Haobo smiled indifferently, then walked to the jade stand of Linglong Baojian, and carefully placed the jade Ruyi in his hand on it.

Afterwards, he turned his head again, looked at the empress and said with a smile: "The queen mother's thoughts on the son, the son understands it. But sometimes, the queen mother does things a little too much. "

As Huangfu Haobo said, he walked to the empress's side, and then gently supported her, and walked to the Eight Treasures brocade couch together, and then helped her gently sit down on the brocade couch.

At this time, the expression on the empress's face gradually softened.But after listening to Huangfu Haobo's words, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "What does Huang'er mean by this? Could it be that you are blaming Ai's family for meddling in their own business?"

Huangfu Haobo hurriedly laughed and said, "Where is the queen mother thinking? How can the son have the mentality of blaming the queen mother? It's just that the queen mother is a person who understands, can't she even see the big picture in front of her?"

"What is the explanation for the emperor's words?" The empress heard this, and a trace of doubt could not help flashing on her face: "Could it be that you already have some thoughts about the old general? A good plan, can we take half of the military power from him?"

Huangfu Haotian heard this, but shook his head at the empress, and said: "The queen mother misunderstood what I mean, and what I mean is not these things."

"Then what do you want to tell the Ai family?" The empress frowned when she heard this.

But at this time, Huangfu Haobo's face still had a calm and unhurried expression, and he smiled slightly at the empress and said: "It's up to now, hasn't the empress noticed it? The prince's complexion now, but It’s getting worse day by day.”

"So what? As long as he doesn't die for a day, it's impossible for your father to change the prince easily."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the empress felt hatred: "For so many years, you have also seen that Ai's family has tried his best to stay by the emperor's side, but he is lucky. He is still thinking about my sister's words that day. Exhortation. What else to say, His Royal Highness is the only hope behind my sister. He has betrayed her once, and he will never betray her again. Hmph! He doesn't even think about it, even if he doesn't want to betray her, But how many days can that tuberculosis ghost live?"

"Mother's queen!" Huangfu Haobo was really afraid of his mother's madness.Because whenever she arrived at this time, the dignified demeanor of the mother would disappear without a trace.At this time, the empress empress, apart from this gorgeous appearance, is almost no different from that country shrew.

But Huangfu Haobo, as a son, could only comfort her lightly: "My queen, I know what my mother is thinking. But this is the palace after all, so I ask my mother to pay more attention to her words."

But the empress suddenly sneered and said: "What are you afraid of? This is the Golden Phoenix Palace of the Ai family. Without the permission of the Ai family, I forgive them for not dared to go outside and gossip."

Huangfu Haobo couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Although it is true to say so, there is a saying, Queen Mother, that walls have ears, so even if you are the harem master of the Ling Kingdom, sometimes you need to be more careful. .”

When the Empress heard this, her expression became even colder: "Be careful? What else can Aijia be careful about? Your son, don't look at your father's superficial skills all these years. Is there a day when you don't stay alone in this gorgeous Golden Phoenix Palace?"

I originally thought that after my sister died, the emperor would make himself the Empress Empress, so the harem would be her world.

However, forgive me for trying all the tricks, but I didn't expect that this harem has indeed become her world, but it has become her world alone.In the eyes of the world, the emperor who was regarded as a wise monarch and who had a deep affection for the empress and his wife was just treating her as a gorgeous decoration like a jade treasure.But in his heart, she was already gone.

Especially at her birthday banquet, when the emperor saw the phoenix used by his sister back then, his affection for the prince became even stronger.

For the sake of the prince, the emperor even felt compassionate, and even made Youlan, who had been forgotten in the palace for many years, the concubine of the late prince, and even a little girl brought back by the prince from nowhere, as the emperor's granddaughter Princess Lan.

However, even if the emperor has done so much for the prince, what is the use?The prince is also about to die of illness.And the child he brought back was just a girl after all, so it didn't help.

It was the Empress Empress, beside her was a well-known Prince Wu.Even in these years, she has already lost her affection in front of the emperor, but her son is excellent after all.Even the emperor himself could not deny this point, so these years, even though he had never moved Prince Yi's mind, he had made Huang'er Haobo a prince early on.And step by step, many major events in the court were entrusted to him.

So in these years, although Prince Wu has not been named as a prince, he already has the status of a crown prince.

But even so, if the emperor doesn't let go and change the prince for a day, then Huangfu Haobo will always be a courtier and prince.

How does this make the empress reconciled?

Especially in the past few years, she has gradually felt that when the other princes in the palace have gradually grown up, a new threat has gradually formed by Prince Wu's side.

Especially the fourth prince who has been by the prince's side all the time. A few days ago, the emperor even named him King Mingcheng.

What worried the empress even more was that although the fourth prince, Huangfu Haotian, was not born to her sister, he died because of concubine Ru's dystocia, so she was directly taken back to the Golden Phoenix Palace by her sister to raise him herself.

Even if the empress didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart that her sister was kind-hearted back then, so even though the fourth prince was not her own, she always regarded him as her own.And when my sister died, the Fourth Prince was just over ten years old, that sensitive age that just needs maternal love.

And these years, the prince has taken on all the responsibilities of educating the fourth prince.And under the good intentions of the prince, those four princes have become more and more elusive day by day.Now he has not only become the right-hand man of the prince, but also slowly entered the heart of the emperor, and this time, he led the army to the north, and he came back after fighting a big victory there. , I looked at him even more with admiration.

Therefore, if it is said that the empress did not take this fourth prince seriously before, but in the past two years, when she saw Huangfu Haotian getting stronger and bigger, she gradually didn't dare to be careless anymore. down.

So in her heart, she desperately hopes that her son can control everything in the court earlier.At least, if he could get the support of most of the forces in the court, maybe she wouldn't be so worried anymore.

But when it comes to this, she has to remind her of the old stubborn general.Over the years, if the empress hadn't looked at the general and held all the military power in the hands of her father back then, she would have had a deadlock with him long ago.

However, what made her feel even more hateful was that the reason why Bian Wang handed over all the military power to Xiao Chaogui back then was that he was not allowed to do anything that would be detrimental to the crown prince.And now that old stubborn general, he already controls half of Ling country's military power.

Although he has always maintained a neutral attitude in the court, he has not been committed to protecting the crown prince as his father asked.But his attitude of not taking sides is really a headache.

Over the years, in order to win him over to Prince Wu's side and make him use him, the Empress Dowager has tried her best.But that stubborn old man still refused to let go, let alone take a step closer to them.This made the Queen's heart gnash her teeth with hatred.

But today was a good day, that Xiao Li obviously asked him to let go of everything and return home, but he himself refused to let go of everything in his hands.As for the emperor, he actually spoke for the general, and rejected Xiao Li's request.

This is in the heart of the empress again, how can I not hate it?

"Xiao Chaogui, since you have deceived me so much, the Ai family will definitely fight against you this time!" The queen empress was full of resentment, and she couldn't help saying: "My lord, this time, no matter what method you use, the Ai family, in short, You must get the affirmation of your father earlier."

Huangfu Haobo couldn't help but shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "Didn't the empress already see it? The emperor has always praised the abilities of his sons and ministers, and it will happen when it will happen. It is only a matter of time. So the empress should not worry too much. .”

The empress didn't think so.She sneered and said: "The emperor may be right, but don't forget that there are still a few stubborn old people in the court. As long as they don't agree with your succession, then the emperor's hard work over the years will be worthless." It might just go to waste."

Huangfu Haobo asked, but he couldn't help but suddenly smiled at the empress: "Mother, if I can find my own way to win over the great general first and use it for me, what do you do next?"

"Oh?" When the Empress heard this, she couldn't help but smile, and asked repeatedly: "So, you really have figured out a way?"

Huangfu Haobo nodded and smiled at her: "Actually, this matter is very simple, it was mentioned by the son-in-law to the queen mother before. As long as the son-in-law can accept Na Xiaoli as Princess Wu, in this way, forgive me The general will no longer exclude his ministers!"
