Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 601 Freshmen (3)
"Ah, empress mother, could it be that... Concubine Min is..." Prince Ning was quite frightened and stuttered.

The queen mother nodded, got up and walked into the bedroom, and came out with a scroll after a while.She handed the scroll to her son, and said shyly, "Open it and have a look."

Prince Ning unfolded the scroll, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is not Thirteen? No, this is not Thirteen!" The paper of that scroll had already turned yellow, and it looked like it was ten or twenty years old at least. The Thirteenth Prince was not born before, so although the person in this painting is exactly the same as the Thirteenth Prince, it is definitely not the Thirteenth Prince himself.

The Queen Mother nodded and said with sobs: "This is indeed not Thirteen, but his late father He Jiaming."

Prince Ning heard that his mother's tone was obviously not right, and hurriedly asked: "My queen, what's the matter with you?"

The tears finally rolled down from the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she said sadly, "Xiao Jiu, Jia Ming is your cousin's only son, your cousin..."

"Ah..." Prince Ning was taken aback again, why didn't he know that he had such a cousin?My brother robbed my cousin... Why is this messed up?

"Mother, what the hell is going on, my son is completely confused!" Prince Ning asked, frowning.

The queen mother sighed for a long time, and said slowly: "Xiaojiu, the queen mother was actually the daughter of the Su family in Jiangnan, and she had to enter the palace as a daughter of the Jiang family because of some things. So you brothers don't know about your natal family. It's the Su family in Jiangnan, your maternal grandmother is the daughter of the He family in Jiangnan, and He Jiaming is the only grandson of your uncle."

"Ah... But... Empress Dowager, does the Emperor know about this?" Prince Ning was stunned for a moment before digesting the large amount of information hidden in the Empress Dowager's words, and asked in a stuttering manner.

The queen mother shook her head and sighed softly: "Aijia mentioned to him at the beginning that he must pay attention to the affairs of the Su family and the He family in Jiangnan, but...then Aijia never mentioned it again. Your imperial brother is not Know that He Jiaming is his cousin."

After a long while, Prince Ning said in a shy voice: "Mother, my son understands that although Thirteen is not the emperor's blood, he is also related to us by blood, not to mention...so the mother did not do anything to him, just ..."

"It's just that the emperor should not be confused, Xiao Jiu, it is right for him to let Thirteen be a rich and idle king." The queen mother said.

Prince Ning nodded, since there are so many hidden secrets in it, the secret edict has no meaning anymore.If his imperial brother was fortunate enough to successfully detoxify, the empress mother would tell him about it, if...he would have to destroy the secret edict first.

"Empress, in your opinion, the crown prince..." Prince Ning asked tentatively.

The queen mother thought for a while before she said: "Let's look at your brother's situation. If he is well, we mother and son don't need to mention this matter. If... we will choose one from the third, fifth, and seventh."

Prince Ning thought about it, and murmured to himself: "There is only one concubine in the third son's house, and there are only three daughters born in the fifth mansion. Seventh, his daughter-in-law is pregnant. I don't know if it's a boy or not." female."

The Empress Dowager immediately interjected: "The imperial doctor has already reported, saying that Lao Qi's family is pregnant with a boy."

"It seems that Lao Qi has taken the lead. He is the first among the princes to give birth to the eldest son." Prince Ning said calmly.

The queen mother nodded again and again, obviously inclined to let the seventh prince Xiao Yi succeed her, she said slowly: "Lao Qi is easy to deal with, and his wife can be loved, and he came from the Duke of Wei's mansion. .”

Speaking of this point, the queen mother has basically decided on the candidate for the crown prince, and that is the seventh prince Xiao Yi.Seeing this, Prince Ning didn't continue this topic anymore, but asked with a frown: "Mother, the fourth child is still imprisoned in Fengyi Palace, so it's not a big deal."

When the queen mother thought of the fourth prince Xiao Jing, she immediately made a mistake, and the older people were even more reluctant to live, she didn't want to see that beast who would poison the closest relatives at any time.But she couldn't see her, so she could only frown and ask, "Xiao Jiu, what's your idea?"

Prince Ning pondered for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Queen Mother, I want to control Lao Si and Lao Si's palace as soon as possible. With Lao Si's temperament, he probably won't carry the antidote with him, I'm afraid Most of the antidote will fall in the palace of the fourth child."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately said: "If this is the case, then immediately send troops to search the fourth son's residence."

Prince Ning frowned and said: "Queen Mother, if the Fourth Prince's palace is searched, it will definitely cause a great stir..."

The Empress Dowager's brows were also tightly frowned. She pondered for a long time but did not come up with a good solution. She just gritted her teeth and cursed angrily: "It's all because of that bastard. If I had known that he strangled him to death when he was born, I wouldn't have done it." There is no disaster today."

"Mother..." Prince Ning cried helplessly, who knows whether a newborn baby will be good or bad in the future, how can a child be strangled to death as soon as it is born.

"That's all, the Ai family can't be angry, Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do?" The queen mother is naturally talking angry, so let's forget about it, the current priority is how to calmly control the fourth prince and him The palace, and wiped out everyone in the palace.

Prince Ning thought for a long time before he said: "Mother, why don't you use the excuse of guarding the spirit to transfer the people from the fourth prince's mansion into the palace and then arrest them secretly. Arrests."

The queen mother nodded and said: "That's good, Xiaojiu, let's go, let's discuss with your emperor brother, the queen's matter, he has to give his orders."

The mother and son went directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the adult princes were still kneeling and begging for sickness. Because of the poisoning of the fourth prince, the Queen Mother actually disliked any grandson. With a cold face, he shouted in a deep voice: "What are you all kneeling here for? Don't you want to force the palace? Why not retreat quickly with Aijia."

The eldest prince hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Grandmother, the grandchildren are really worried about the illness of the emperor, and want to relieve the illness of the emperor, and ask the grandmother to learn from it." Perhaps it was because of kneeling for too long in the cold wind and heavy snow, When the First Prince spoke, his upper and lower teeth were chattering, and there was a rattling sound, which sounded really creepy.

The Empress Dowager was in a fit of anger and was full of worries about the current illness, but she didn't care about the sound of the eldest prince's teeth rattling.Prince Ning heard it clearly, he shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "Everyone, get up and wait in the side hall. If the emperor wants to see you, it will be easier to pass the edict. You are only in this heavy snow Kneeling in the ground, if something bad happens, even if it is your father's imperial edict, you will not be able to see him."
