Lady Changning

Chapter 146 Prince Controversy (2)

He Lianbao entered the room with the steaming food, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Why did you two drink it without waiting for me?"

He Lianbao calmed down the atmosphere temporarily, and the three of them started to eat and drink again, never mentioning what they had said before.

"Who do you think will be the crown prince?"

As a retainer of the former prince, Zimu would not be wrong to make an estimate.

Zimu glanced at Xi Changning before speaking.In his heart, there is only one person who can take on this great task.

"Three princes."

"Unexpectedly, Zimu, you think the same as Changning."

In fact, she, He Lianbao, would not think about it. The second prince and the third prince seem to have almost the same temper, and they are gentle with others, but one is out of intention and the other is superficial. In terms of scheming, the second prince is far worse than the third prince.

As an emperor, I don't know how to be courteous, but I still have to have some ambition in my heart.It is conceivable that the second prince does not have these things at all.

As for Xi Changning selfishly wanting the third prince to be the prince, it was because she didn't want Huangfu Zimian to be involved in the struggle in the palace again.

"It won't take long, and the thousand-layered waves stirred up by this palace will destroy many people."

Before the waves could get up, the ground was already a mess.Many people guessed that the emperor wanted the second prince to be the prince because of Concubine Hui.

Naturally, the queen would not agree, she had just died the crown prince, and the younger sister was eager to push her own child to the position of crown prince.She would not agree to anything, not to mention that she still has the prince's child in her hand, so she can completely inherit the father's position.

Another person who is in a hurry is the Queen Mother. This situation occurred before she could escape from the tragic death of the Zhao family's only seedling.So between the third prince and the second prince, she chose the third prince without even thinking about it.

Firstly, Xi Lingyan belongs to her, and secondly, the second prince is the child of Concubine Hui, Gu Hongyi. Isn't this just making mistakes for herself?

The Queen Mother has been messed up by Xi Changning several times in a row, and this time she must not bet on the wrong thing again.So she immediately recruited Xi Lingyan.

"Lingyan, what does the third prince think?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the third prince is standing still, and now he is on the cusp of the wind. If the third prince moves around, he may be taken for granted."

The queen mother nodded, it was right to do so, not to mention that Huangfu Zimian has not appeared to speak until now, if he nodded, it would be difficult.

Seeing that the queen mother had been thinking about something, Xi Lingyan thought of a trick. This time it was about the future of the third prince, and she couldn't stand by.

"Empress Dowager, Lingyan has heard a lot of things about the court recently, so she shouldn't have asked too much. But now the situation is tense, and Concubine Hui is alone in the storm because of the protection of the emperor, and the empress is also supported by her natal family. .

"As for the Empress Dowager, you haven't expressed much. Naturally, you have plans in your heart, but my father has also been holding back. Given the importance the emperor attaches to my father, if my father can support the third prince, it will be beneficial to both the third prince and the queen mother." Harmful."

Xi Lingyan also wanted to win in a dangerous situation. Xi Changning didn't even say a word now, and he couldn't figure out whether he wanted to continue following the queen or secretly helping Concubine Hui. No matter which side it was, Xi Jian was a good move.So she decided to act first.

It's just that Xi Lingyan didn't know that Xi Changning knew that the crown prince would fall into the hands of the third prince sooner or later, so he didn't even think about making a move, and just let nature take its course.

"Lingyan is right. It's just your father..."

Since the eldest lady was imprisoned, this Xi Jian has long been out of the control of the queen mother, and has formed his own faction in the court, mainly supporting the emperor. It is no wonder that the emperor attaches great importance to him.

"Ling Yan understands what the Empress Dowager means. Now that the Da Furen is not here, my mother is in charge of the backyard. If we can continue to be married, then my father will not ignore it. Ling Yan is also a member of the Empress Dowager, so the help from the Prime Minister's House is naturally a no-brainer. .”

Xi Lingyan's calculation was very good, no matter what, he would drag Xi Jian and his gang, so that the third prince would be more confident in the position of prince.

The Queen Mother thought about it, and there was no woman in her heart who could match Xi Jian, not to mention that Xi Jian once said that the Fifth Concubine Xuan's family was the last concubine, and female sex seemed to no longer have any influence.

When Xi Lingyan saw that the queen mother was struggling with something, she must be thinking about marrying Xi Jian. In fact, there was a better candidate.

"My father already has a fifth aunt, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to marry again. But there is still one person available in the family."

That is Xi Lin, Xi Lin is the only son of the Prime Minister's mansion and the eldest wife's son, all of this is justified.To move Xi Jian, Xi Lin's marriage is the most suitable.

"Well, it's a good candidate, and I like Xi Lin even after looking at it."

The Queen Mother smiled and praised Xi Lingyan for being smart. After this trick, Xi Jian was helpless. His only son was the Queen Mother's, so what else could he do?
"It's just that my eldest brother ran away from home because of the eldest wife and has not returned. If I want to find my eldest brother, my father may need to come forward."

"Don't worry about this, Lingyan, I can still persuade you."

Xi Lingyan's plan was approved by the Queen Mother, and she secretly mocked in her heart that the reason why Xi Hanxue died was because she didn't make a choice.

Huangfu Zimian was imprisoned by Concubine Hui for no other reason. He wanted to give up the chance to be the prince. The reason why she stayed in the palace was because of his mother and because of Xi Changning.

Now that his mind is over, he should go back to Hengshan.But once the crown prince dies, he is now like a fish on the floor.

"Zimian, why are you still in a tantrum with your mother?"

Concubine Hui ordered someone to open the locked door, and when she entered the room, she saw Huangfu Zimian meditating in the room, and the food on the table had not been touched.

"Mother, you know what's wrong with me, why are you pushing me?"

Huangfu Zimian opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Hui, and said sadly.

"I forced you? Isn't it all for you that I do everything? It's their fault that I've been separated from you for more than ten years. You and I almost died. It's all their fault. What kind of compensation is this?"

Concubine Hui still believed that it was someone else who caused all this, and she was just seeking some compensation.

"The prince is the future monarch, and I am not suitable. And mother, you know that my character is not suitable for the palace at all."

Huangfu Zimian was in a dilemma, on the one hand was his mother, and on the other was his beloved younger brother.

"Aren't you bound to sing against me?"

Suddenly Concubine Hui slapped the table and got up, and pushed away the food on the table, jingling, greasy all over the floor.

"What are they? I only want our mother and child to live well. Did they control us back then? Did they?"

Concubine Hui laughed, the last laugh was sharp, Huangfu Zimian frowned and stepped forward to take the pulse, the pulse was in great confusion.

In the end, Concubine Hui started to speak nonsense, she held Huangfu Zimian's hand tightly, the more she grasped it, the more forceful she was, bloodstains appeared on the back of his hand,
Huangfu Zimian had no choice but to beat Concubine Hui unconscious because she was worried that others would suspect her.

After half a cup of tea, Concubine Hui woke up, looking at Zi Mian's worried eyes, she knew that she was ill again.

"Do you think I should hate the queen or not?"

After more than ten years of crazy drugs, she gradually remembered the things she had forgotten when she stopped, but they came and went quickly, and she was really going crazy this time.But she couldn't bear any grudges about the queen, at least the queen gave her a peaceful life for more than ten years, so that she still had the chance to see her grown son.

"I will definitely find a way to cure my mother."

"Dead, after all, you can't escape the word death."

Concubine Hui said it very easily, she was already ready to die.

"But you promise mother, listen to me this time."

After going around and around, Huangfu Zimian still needs to take over the crown prince. Concubine Hui knew her condition before and refused to treat Huangfu Zimian. Although it was developed secretly, the poison of more than ten years of medicine has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"I can die, but I will not take over the crown prince. I will take my mother and leave. As long as I find my master, my mother still has a chance."

Huangfu Zimian has always been unwilling to get involved in the fight for the position of crown prince. He knows very well that he is not suitable at all, so why bother to fight for a position that does not belong to him?
"Then what about Changning? Are you willing to leave?"

For some reason, Concubine Hui moved out of Xi Changning, she knew her son's feelings for Xi Changning very well.

Huangfu Zimian fell silent, his expression said everything.

"Zimian, you went back to the palace several times for Changning. Now you are begging for your mother, but you just refuse. This is my mother's last wish."

"Forget it, forget it, how can I force you if you don't want to? But I won't let you heal me either. I will never drink the medicine you secretly mixed into the soup."

"I know that this lock can't lock you at all. I want to stay in the palace with the emperor, and I won't care about you no matter what you do."

Silly boy, if the third prince ascends to the crown prince, how can there be a place for you in this palace?You will never see this Xi Changning in your life.

"mother!"

Concubine Hui ignored Huangfu Zimian, walked out of the room dejectedly, and did not tell the maid to lock the door before leaving.

To say that Xi Changning doesn't care about the situation outside is not necessarily the case, she would ask He Lianbao to go to the palaces to inquire about news every day, so that she can have a countermeasure when necessary.

"I saw your father enter the palace today."

"It's normal for my father to enter the palace. There is nothing to say."

Seeing that Xi Changning was indifferent, He Lianbao excitedly ran to her.

"The problem is that I went to Hefu Palace."

It doesn't matter where you go to the palace, but if you go to Hefu Palace, there is a problem. Isn't it obvious that the queen mother wants to win Xi Jian?

Sure enough, Xi Changning became interested. Unexpectedly, the queen mother wanted to gain a firm foothold through Xi Jian so quickly after her hands and feet became faster.

"There is no doubt that the queen mother must choose the candidate for the crown prince, the third prince."

"Then why don't we just wait and see?"

Anyway, Xi Changning also wanted the third prince to be the prince, the method is different, as long as the result is the same.

But Xi Changning didn't think so. Xi Jian would not obey the Queen Mother as much as before. The Queen Mother must have something to win over Xi Jian, but what could it be?

Xi Changning couldn't think of it for a while.
