Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 434
The atmosphere in the palace these two days is a bit strange, especially the East Palace.

Prince Jun Lingxiao has long been able to take charge of his own affairs. The princes report to the East Palace every now and then. They are more used to discussing matters with the prince than with their fathers.

In recent years, Her Majesty the Empress has also gotten used to the children's growth, and is happy to see the frequent contacts between their brothers. There are no plots and calculations, only brothers and friends respecting each other.

Of course, with the emperor's eldest son's temperament, it is obviously impossible for him to be tolerant and gentle to the younger brothers, but the younger brothers are obviously convinced by the emperor's elder brother.

The imperial husbands performed their own duties, and the princes also assumed the duties of their fathers. They each performed their duties and assisted loyally. For the time being, no one had any ambitions.

But for two consecutive days, the atmosphere in the East Palace was obviously not right.

Although His Royal Highness is cold and indifferent, the East Palace has never refused the princes to go, but since the day before yesterday until now, the East Palace has been closed, and the guards have been ordered by the Crown Prince to strictly guard the gate of the East Palace and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

Jun Lingxiao is still busy with government affairs as normal, shuttling between the East Palace and various ministries, but I don't know if it is an illusion, the aura on His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be a little colder than before, and the palace people are standing far away when reporting things. As a last resort, no one dared to approach.

The third prince often went to and from the barracks, and recently trained the imperial guards on the school grounds, only the imperial guards complained unspeakably.

The fourth prince is still working with his father, busy with the Mo family's business and the household finances.

The fifth prince is still a young man, and he has not yet formally taken any position. He just reads books and practices martial arts every day, and spends his days leisurely.

The second prince disappeared.

As the most beautiful scenery among the princes, his complexion is the most outstanding among the many outstanding princes, and he can be called peerless.

Every move of Jun Lingfan represents the attention of everyone - of course, this kind of attention is absolutely unconscious, after all, no one would do nothing and just stare at the words and deeds of a prince all day long.

Queens and concubines are not that boring.

The palace people are not so bold.

But every time this person appears in the sight of everyone, it represents a beautiful scenery, and it is difficult for people not to notice him.

But the second prince has not appeared for two days.

In Lama Temple, Jiu Rao couldn't help muttering: "The second child has been unwell for the past two days?"

The children are all grown up and have their own independent space. Jiu Rao and the imperial concubines are not people who stick to etiquette and rules, so they don't force the princes to greet each other every day.

What the princes do on weekdays, ordinary Jiu Rao would not interfere too much.It was the atmosphere of the past two days that made even the dullest people feel a little unusual.

So I asked this question.

Tian Shu, who was in front of the driver, said calmly, "Ling Fan is in the womb of the Crown Prince."

In Tai's womb?
Jiu Rao was surprised: "Stayed in the crown prince's womb for two consecutive days, and didn't go back to your own palace?"

Chu Tianshu nodded.

"Why is this?" Jiu Rao's brows were deep in thought, "There hasn't been any major incidents in the past two days, so the two brothers need to discuss without sleep all night?"

Chu Tianshu didn't speak.

Jiu Rao frowned slightly: "Ling Xiao has been in and out of six departments in the past two days, which seems quite normal."

"Your Majesty, do you want me to ask?"

Jiu Rao looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "Although I can't figure out what the two brothers are up to for the time being, Ling Xiao has his own opinions. No matter what, let him handle it first."

Chu Tianshu was silent for a moment, and wanted to ask, what if he couldn't handle it by himself?

But then thinking about the prince's ability and dull temperament, it seems that there shouldn't be anything that he can't handle.

So this matter was brought up by Jiu Rao in a few words, Her Majesty the Empress didn't intend to delve into it too much, just because she had unreserved trust in her son.

Nan Si, who was staying in the princess palace to escape the summer heat and enjoy their time together, had something to say: "I always feel that the emperor's eldest brother suddenly decided to abdicate, which is strange."

Ye Junling was sitting in front of the flower window, and there was a game of chess in front of the two of them, and they had nothing to do to talk about the game.

Hearing Nan Si's words, Ye Junling's movements paused slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the strange feeling that arose in his heart when he was in the empress's womb before, but the words were swallowed back.

"There must be a reason." Ye Junling's tone was light, "But it may not be what we think."

Nan Si looked up at him: "What do you think?"

Ye Junling said: "Brother Huang is born with the talent of an emperor, and he can tolerate the sea in his heart. From being established as the heir apparent when he was young to now being 26 years old, there are obviously countless opportunities to regret it in these years, it doesn't make sense Wait until now to say that you don’t want to be emperor.”

Nan Si nodded: "I think it should be related to the sudden death of the Crown Princess."

Ye Junling nodded: "Lianke is the third concubine, no matter if it is a conspiracy or for what purpose, in the aristocratic family of the imperial capital, the status of the concubine is already feared by the noble ladies."

"As for a crown prince who bears the name of a guest wife, no matter whether he is a natural born emperor or not, the courtiers dare not say it on the face, and they may have scruples in their hearts."

Nan Si was silent, with deep thought on her brows.

"Second Brother, I haven't seen anyone in the past two days." Nan Si said lightly, "It's true that I haven't seen you for two years, and the relationship is strange. In the past, as long as I went back to the imperial capital, several brothers ran to me almost every day. The sky is gone."

Ye Junling raised his eyes, "Because Si'er used to be alone, but now that I have me, the emperor brothers are considerate and don't bother us."

Nan Si glanced at him, closed her eyes and murmured: "I still feel a little strange. Even if the Second Emperor has been staying in the East Palace to discuss business matters with the Crown Prince, it doesn't make sense for him not to show his face. There is nothing important to be busy lately. Bar."

Ye Junling didn't speak.

He had some feelings about some things in his heart, but those words must never be said, even if it was just a guess or an illusion, it was taboo in the court.

Besides, if it is true, even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, landslides and seas cracking are not enough to describe the consequences.

It was precisely because Jiu Rao and Nan Si knew these princes too well that they faintly noticed something strange, while Jun Lingfan, who was in the storm circle of the East Palace, had no intention of paying attention to his mother and his lord at this moment. The doubts in my sister's heart.

He has knelt in the Prince's Hall of the East Palace for two days.

For two days without sleep, without a drop of water, my head was a little dizzy, my legs hurt like needles, and I almost lost consciousness due to the pain, and my face was extremely pale.

But these are nothing.

Before giving a logical answer, he would probably have to kneel here forever.

But the answer, how can it be so easy to give?

Jun Lingfan closed his eyes, ready to kneel and die here.

　good night
