Chapter 376 I Will Not Hold You Back

Before the queen finished speaking, Zhu Lianxi had already guessed her intention.

There was a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, but it seemed that he didn't feel the slightest sarcasm, and only thought that he was also happy for getting such an opportunity.

Zhu Lianxi pretended to be listening attentively, and asked kindly:

"what chance?"

The empress thought of the disturbing things her father and brother had encountered, the joy on her face quickly dissipated, and she sighed sadly:

"I don't know who gave those untouchables the courage to dare to do such outrageous things as civilians suing officials, which caused your grandfather and two younger uncles to be imprisoned. I thought, now The ministers are extremely opposed to Pei Xiaoran's delivery of food, so why not take this opportunity to propose to His Majesty, let your two little uncles commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and take the initiative to ask Ying to take over the burden of delivering food, so as to alleviate their crimes. In normal times, no one would Agree, but if it is proposed at this time, the ministers will be happy to support your two little uncles."

The queen's calculations were excellent.

The three fathers of Zhan Kezhuang and his son all committed serious crimes. If Emperor Chixuan chose someone else this time, the ministers would definitely not ask for trouble to recommend two serious criminals to send food.

After all, this happened not long ago, and the Holy Majesty was still in a fit of anger. Who would dare to speak well of those two sinners in front of the Holy Majesty at this time?It's not that life is too long.

But it happened that Emperor Chixuan chose a kid who was less than ten years old.

Compared with a kid who is less than ten years old, compared with two big men who have served as third-rank generals despite being guilty, the ministers are naturally more willing to choose the latter.

No matter what the queen thinks, she feels that this matter can be accomplished, so she said earnestly:
"This matter is not difficult to handle. You only need to mention it in front of your father, and you will definitely get the support of many people at that time. It's just... your father is afraid that you don't want to see me recently, so I can only say this." It's up to you."

This matter is really not difficult to do, just use your lips to do it.

However, Zhu Lianxi didn't want to do it for her.

Zhu Lianxi knew in his heart that as long as he spoke, those ministers would definitely stand by his side and support his two little uncles to deliver food.

If the royal father really had to agree to it under the pressure of the officials, then the Zhan family might have a chance to make a comeback.

The Zhan family is one of the forces supporting him, and doing so is indeed of great benefit to him.

but……

What if Pei Xiaoran was the one who sent the food?
Although Pei Xiaoran is not someone of his right now, he knows that they will become husband and wife sooner or later.

Moreover, Pei Xiaoran treated him more sincerely than Zhan's family, the 'grandfather's family'.

He is very clear about what Queen Zhan has done behind the scenes. After Queen Zhan gave birth to her own son, someone found a dog in his bedroom that was covered with long needles and wrote "Father" A villain with a taboo name.

After the father heard the news, he was furious, and then took away his crown prince, and the relationship between Queen Zhan and him became more and more estranged.

At that time, his 'grandfather' and two 'little uncles' didn't say a word for him.

Oh, what happened?
As a result, the emperor's son born to Queen Zhan died not long after.

Queen Zhan, who had lost her beloved son, had no choice but to be courteous to him again, because a queen who has no son and cannot contribute to the royal family will not sit in the back seat for too long.

However, the relationship between them can never go back to the past.

Zhu Lianxi knew how important this food delivery was to Pei Xiaoran.

Although, he didn't know what went wrong. He actually pushed Pei Xiaoran in front of Emperor Chixuan so early, and he also gained the extraordinary trust of Emperor Chixuan, so much so that when she was so young, she would do so. Important tasks were entrusted to her.

However, he will still support her with all his strength, and will never hold her back behind his back.

Seeing Zhu Lianxi's long silence, Empress Zhan felt a little dissatisfied immediately, but before she gave birth to her next son, she didn't dare to turn against Zhu Lianxi completely, so she had to suppress her unhappiness, try her best to squeeze out a gentle smile, and said persuasively:

"Xi'er, if you don't want to, that's fine. However, if your maternal ancestral family is in decline, when you fight for the throne in the future, you will have no one to rely on, no one to support you in the court, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." You are better than other princes, as the first prince, and you are a direct descendant, are you willing to watch it being snatched away by others?"

A person who designed to take away his crown prince so that his own son could become crown prince, what face would he have to say such a thing to him?
Zhu Lianxi's unfathomable black eyes curved up, and said with a smile:
"What did the queen mother say? How could I not want to? Now my real grandfather has severed all ties with me, and I only have you. Of course, it is impossible to die."

Since Zhu Lianxi recognized Empress Zhan as his mother, his biological mother's father's family cut off contact with him because they suspected that it was Empress Zhan who killed their daughter, but they had been suffering from no evidence to prove it.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Lianxi has severed ties with his real ancestral family. As for the actual situation... I am afraid that only Zhu Lianxi and his ancestral family know.

Zhu Lianxi sighed, changed the subject, and said:
"It's just——I'm thinking, is this idea of ​​the queen mother good or bad for grandpa and the two little uncles?"

Empress Zhan frowned slightly, and said:
"How can there be any harm?"

Zhu Lianxi smiled and shook her head, saying:

"The harem is not allowed to engage in politics. There are some things that the empress mother may not know. The empress mother thinks that delivering food is a good job? These food and grass are related to the lives of countless people. Otherwise, those ministers would not be so opposed to the emperor's dispatch. A little girl is going to send it, because the matter is very important, so it must not be trifling."

Empress Zhan froze for a moment, and murmured:

"Could it be...is there any danger?"

It's not to go to war, but to give something away. Queen Zhan doesn't think there is anything to worry about.

Zhu Lianxi nodded and said:

"It has been snowing in the north for more than half a month now. Not only the people will be affected, but also the robbers along the way. Once they encounter these vicious robbers and they are robbed of food and grass, then the two little uncles will die How do I come back and explain to my father?"

Zhan Kezhuang's two sons are things that cannot be supported by mud, Zhu Lianxi knows as well as Queen Zhan.

Empress Zhan's face changed slightly, obviously she didn't think of this.

Zhu Lianxi said again:
"Besides, if something happens on the road that delays the delivery of the food, will the people who are already starving and mad will let my uncle and the people who deliver the food be spared? I'm afraid the queen mother will not Have you ever heard of a term called mob|people?"
