The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 306
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the fourth prince made a decision in his mind, and he knelt down with a plop and said: "My queen, even if such a scandal has happened, my mother and concubine cannot escape the death penalty, but I beg you, I beg you to spare my mother and concubine." Let her repent for what she has done."

Looking at the fourth prince, the queen sighed softly, and then said softly: "Sister Ge wronged the crown prince in the Imperial Palace today, and the Palace did not punish me severely. If you punish Sister Xu severely, you must have something in your heart, fourth son." Dissatisfied, I can spare sister Xu for your sake, but she must pay the price for what she has done, so let her copy scriptures and pray for blessings in the Buddhist hall in the palace. When will the emperor recover, what will she do? Only then can I return to Yuli Palace."

Saving the life of his mother and concubine, the fourth prince was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "My son thanked the queen for your kindness." The fourth prince is a dutiful son, and now with the side concubine Xu in his hands, the fourth prince will never dare to seek the crown prince again As for side concubine Ge and the second prince, it is just the opposite. Concubine Ge regards her son as her life, and see how she will seize power without her son. Thinking about Concubine Xie's plan, the corner of the queen's mouth reveals an imperceptible sneer.

"Fourth, get up. Since you are here today, you can leave me alone!" The queen said in a gentle tone. In front of people, she has always been a gentle and virtuous aunt.

The fourth prince responded respectfully, and went to the inner bedroom under the guidance of Nanny Yang.Then the queen ordered the maids beside her: "Send Concubine Xu to the Buddhist hall, and tell the Buddhist hall to take good care of Concubine Xu."

Concubine Xu got up dejectedly, and followed the maids out of Fenglin Hall.After finishing the matter, Concubine Le stretched out her hand to gently rub the Queen's shoulders, and said softly: "Sister, you have been tired for a long time, you should go and have a rest, the king has the fourth prince and his concubines watching over him, It'll be fine."

The queen nodded wearily, then got up and went to the guest room to rest. Now Li Yi is recuperating in her bedroom. She wants to rest during the day, so she can only stay in the guest room.

The prince supervised the country, and all the burdens fell on his shoulders. He stayed in the imperial study for a whole day. study.

In the imperial study room, Li Dingkang was bowing his head and writing vigorously, but he didn't notice that Concubine Xie came in.Concubine Xie asked the palace maid to put down the food box and retreat, while she herself stepped forward gently and stood by the imperial case for a while, when Li Dingkang found her, he was overjoyed, put down the pen in his hand and asked: " Concubine Ai, why are you here, didn't the Queen Mother not let you run around?"

Concubine Xie turned around and took out the snacks and sweet soup from the food box and put them on the imperial case, and then she blamed: "Since you have been in charge of the country for the past few days, you have been so busy every day that you don't know where to go. I am worried that His Highness will not be able to bear it." , so I begged the empress queen to let me come and see you, and the empress queen couldn't help my concubine's plea and agreed."

Hearing this, Li Dingkang's heart warmed up, and he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Xie's hands and said with a smile: "Concubine Lao is worried. Now that I am in charge of the country, I know how heavy the burden is on the father's shoulders. Father is not awake now. , I will naturally do a good job, and when Father wakes up, he will be very happy to learn that I have managed the country so well."

Concubine Xie nodded gently, then glanced at the sweet soup and snacks on the imperial case, and said softly: "Your Highness must be very tired after reading the scriptures for a long time, take a rest and use some sweet soup and snacks , the concubine helped His Highness organize the imperial case, it's a mess, it's really uncomfortable to watch."

Li Dingkang nodded, and Concubine Xie quickly brought snacks and sweet soup to the table beside him. Li Dingkang said worriedly: "It's okay to clean up the desk, but don't tire yourself, or I will feel bad."

Concubine Xie smiled shyly when she heard the words, and nodded slightly.After Li Dingkang sat aside and had some sweet soup and snacks, he quietly watched Concubine Xie tidy up the desk. Looking at it, he felt tired and fell asleep unconsciously. He didn't know that he was sleeping. After a long time, when he woke up, he was awakened by a very light movement. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Concubine Xie who was putting a cloak on him, so he was relieved and smiled: "I didn't expect to sit here For a while, he fell asleep."

"The affairs of the country are heavy. Your Highness is so tired that you can fall asleep sitting here. I have already sorted out the papers that have not yet been approved. There are not many left. Your Highness will arrange it after you have finished the review quickly. I will go first." Retire, don't worry about His Highness dealing with business." Xie Fangfei said with a distressed look on her beautiful face.

Although Li Dingkang wanted to keep Concubine Xie here to accompany him, he also knew that state affairs were the most important thing, and Concubine Xie needed to rest if she was pregnant, so he nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, you go first." Be careful on the way back to Fenglin Hall."

Concubine Xie nodded gently and exited the imperial study.Walking out of the imperial study room, her two confidants hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and the backs of the three masters and servants slowly disappeared into the night.

In the imperial study room of Daxin Palace, Wei Jinyang stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, his handsome eyes were full of longing, at this moment An Fu hurried into the imperial study room, he walked behind Wei Jinyang and said : "Master, the princess has a secret letter to send back." After speaking, he handed over the letter in his hand.

Hearing the sound, Wei Jinyang turned around eagerly to take the letter from Anfu's hand, and after reading the contents of the letter, his face showed joy: "That's great, after waiting for more than a month, I finally waited for you. Here comes the good news."

An Fu didn't know the content of the letter, but seeing his master's expression of joy, he immediately became happy too.

Two days later, Princess Guanzhen received a secret letter from the ancient country. After reading the contents of the secret letter, she had a look of joy on her face, and then said to the maid beside her, "Where is the lord?"

The maid thought for a while and replied: "Go back to your mother, the prince is discussing things in the study."

Princess Guanzhen changed her clothes when she heard the words, and went to the study with her maid excitedly.In the study, Prince Ming was discussing matters with the retainers. Hearing the guards outside the study asking for peace, he signaled the retainers to leave first.

Seeing the happy face of Princess Guanzhen, Prince Ming knew that there must be good news coming from the ancient country, so he asked with a gentle smile pretending to be ignorant: "My dear concubine, why are you so happy?"

"My lord, my father has sent a letter saying that Li Sister-in-law has been captured alive. At the same time, the army that my father promised to send has already set off for Daxin. In the letter, my father mentioned the time when the army will arrive, the leader of the team, and the secret words during the contact. Please see, my lord." Princess Guanzhen said and handed the secret letter in her hand to Prince Ming.

Prince Ming received the secret letter, and after reading the contents of the secret letter, he was overjoyed immediately: "My concubine, you have contributed a lot to the smooth progress of the matter. When the big event is completed, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."
