Chapter 560 Deadlock 1
Perhaps this is also God's punishment for killing her too severely... If he hadn't personally killed her back then, let alone let the imperial doctor have been quietly prescribing her medicine, perhaps their son would be the most suitable for the crown prince Candidates!
But he has no room for regret!

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng shook his head and sighed helplessly, leaning on the soft couch and closing his eyes.

The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, knew that the emperor had suffered a great blow when he passed by King Xuanwu, and he was distressed by the government affairs in the court, so he quickly ordered two maids to come and beat the emperor's shoulders, and stood aside to persuade him in a low voice: "Your majesty, the eldest prince may It's just being emotional, he still respects you..."

"I know that he has always been dissatisfied with me..." Xiao Heng closed his eyes and said calmly, his voice had returned to its usual calm.

"He has been blaming me for the death of his mother and concubine, and then Ah Jing, who raised him, was blamed by me..." Xiao Heng stopped suddenly when he said this, unwilling to continue.

When Chen Rong heard the emperor mentioning these old things, his heart suddenly tightened, and he did not dare to respond to the emperor's words.

Because whether it is the death of the great prince, mother and concubine, or the death of Empress Li, they are the most taboo things in the palace!

And he, who has been serving the emperor, has witnessed with his own eyes how they withered... and it is precisely because of what he saw with his own eyes that he dare not speak rashly!
He only hoped that those things would be kept under dust, otherwise one day the eldest prince would find out, and there would be another storm in the palace!
Xiao Heng was silent for a long time, then opened his eyes again, and said to Chen Rong, the eunuch in charge who had been afraid to speak out: "Forget it, Chen Rong, you go to Deng Xian and ask him to persuade Chang Gong for me..."

Chen Rong heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly nodded his head to accept the order and left, but just as he was about to retreat, Xiao Heng stopped him again: "If he insists on competing with me, let him think about it in the bedroom and not leave!"

Chen Rong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the emperor's face, facing Xiao Heng's sharp gaze, his heart froze, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

**********
In the palace, father and son Xiao Heng and Xiao Changgong were still competing secretly. Xiao Heng's relegation to Shangshu and Shen Rui's practice of cutting off part of the Wei family's military power had caused a lot of trouble in the city.

Not only civil and military officials kept discussing this matter, but even the people in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were discussing this matter, and even the storyteller in the restaurant talked about this matter with impassioned and vivid words.

Wei Zijin had known for a long time that Xiao Heng would never give up because of Xiao Zhao's death, but he didn't expect that he would not only demote Shen Rui, who had always been important, but even attack the Wei family!
She didn't want to comfort Shen Rui, she was worried that the Wei family's deprivation of military power would hit Old General Wei too hard, so she didn't go to the Luoyang Palace for the past few days, but stayed in the General's Palace to accompany the old general Wei Ning.

And the young and energetic Wei Dongting, after hearing about this, angrily wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and was stopped by Wei Zijin and Wei's father together to reason about this matter.

"Father, our Wei family has been working for the emperor. The elder brother has suffered a lot since he was sent to guard the border. How could the emperor treat the Wei family like this?!" Wei Dongting said angrily. He really didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless. Not to mention taking away the title of general of the eldest brother, but also cutting off their Wei family's military power!
"At this time, you went to the emperor to argue, because the emperor didn't warn our Wei family enough?" Wei's father gave Wei Dongting a cold look, and reminded him coldly.
