Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 613
"My lords, since the Empress Dowager still has doubts, it is better to wait for the Empress to give birth to the prince before discussing the matter of succession." Cheng Rong saw that Bao Si was deliberately delaying, he understood in his heart, and hurried forward to smooth things over in a friendly manner.

"In that case, I have no choice but to obey orders!" Marquis Wei and the others stood up and said goodbye with a smile. After a while, everyone dispersed.

"Master Cheng, General Jutu, please stay here for a while!" Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Bao Si hurriedly looked sideways at Jutu and Cheng Rong.

Entering Jianjia Palace, Axi ordered Mingyue and Huiyue to make tea, and retreated behind the scenes. Bao Si then looked at Que Tu and Cheng Rong, and lightly opened her lips and said, "Mr. Biao Quanjin, did you take the lead in discussing it?"

Jue Tu frowned, cupped his hands and replied, "Si'er, since the overall situation has been settled, why do you have to back down? Judging from the current situation, only your own son will inherit the throne, and you will be the empress dowager yourself. It will be easier, isn't it. Si'er, don't you understand that my heart, my heart, is bleeding for you all the time!"

Bao Si smiled sadly at Ju Tu and said, "Ju Tu, I know you are doing it for my own good, but you can't abolish the public if you are private. Now we have just repelled Xirong, and we need a king who is in his prime to reform us." He Shan, if the child in my stomach is established, I am worried that it will ruin Dazhou Jiangshan!"

"How come, Si'er, you have me and Cheng Rong assisting you, what are you afraid of, whoever dares to hurt you, I will be the first to let him go!" Jugtu expressed his position righteously.

"Ju Tu, I know that you will do this, but you don't understand, Si'er doesn't want this unborn little life in her womb to be plunged into a life of terrifying and dangerous political struggles like his father and elder brother. Si'er hoped that he would be a normal person like other children, that he would be safe, carefree, able to control himself, digging out, we have missed too much in this life, don't you have the heart to let the newborn Will the child make the same mistake as us again?" Bao Si frowned, with strong emotion, and gazed affectionately at the dazed Qu Tu with watery eyes.

"Si'er, I didn't expect that you would think so for so many years, but Si'er, have you thought about yourself? If any one of Lu Wang Chuxiu and Song Wang Hui'en inherits the throne, then you are in the palace. Besides, Chu Xiu and Hui En are incompatible, and their ascension to the throne will inevitably cause another bloody storm in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Qu Tu stared at Bao Si's elegant face unexpectedly. Hair, reminded intently.

"Chu Tu, let me think about it again, okay?" Bao Si raised her forehead with her hand, feeling the pressure and pleaded with him.

"Si'er, take a good rest. Don't worry, the sky won't fall. If you can't bear it, Jutu is willing to do anything for you!" Jutu stared at Baosi's weak eyes, and stepped out excitedly. Jian Jia Palace. ,

"Alas!" Besides, Song Wang Huien, after worshiping his father in Chaoyang Palace, returned to the mansion in a sullen manner. Suddenly, a graceful voice gradually floated in front of Huien's soft couch: "My lord, what's the matter? Just now You have made great achievements, why are you so depressed?"

Hui En looked back, and it turned out to be Yun Niang who had been dressed as a servant girl in the palace. Suddenly, a seductive fragrance gradually drifted into Hui En's consciousness. Hui En smiled at Yun Niang and said, "Yun Niang, Except for the queen mother, you are the one who takes good care of this king, tell me, will the queen mother let me, an adopted son, inherit the throne of the emperor father?"

"My lord, why do you say that?" Yun Niang couldn't help but pretend to be strange.Hui En saw that Yuniang was pretending to be confused, and immediately became anxious: "Yuniang, since you choose to assist the king, then let's talk about everything, tell the truth, will the child in the mother's womb be a boy or a girl? "

Yunniang couldn't help but smiled and said: "Your Highness is so funny, whether it is a prince or a princess, they are all close relatives of His Highness, so how can His Highness be separated from each other?"

Hui En couldn't help scratching his head and said: "You know what happened in the court today. Except for Lord Cheng Rong, almost all the ministers agreed to make the son the son of heaven. In the end, the queen mother relieved everyone with the reason of rebuilding the Hall of Shuilong Shuren." Thanks to the empress mother who still thinks about my adopted son, but as time goes on, when the empress mother has a legitimate son in the future, will she take another look at my adopted son?"

Yun Niang smiled slyly and said: "My lord, you are still too young. Yun Niang said something to you from the bottom of her heart. How did your own mother die in the first place? Did the Queen really love you all these years, or did she really love you?" Just using you, the heart is sinister, the prince must not be confused!"

"Yunniang, I know that at the beginning, my own mother, Concubine Jin, rebelled against her father because she attempted to rebel against her, and she died in the end. It was my mother who took pity on me and adopted me as a foster son, and has nurtured me ever since!" Hui En said emotionally. .

"Perhaps, the empress really felt compassion at the beginning, but people's hearts are made of flesh. After all, the prince is not the empress's own flesh and blood. If the empress gave birth to a son, in the end, she would still pass the throne to her own son. On the contrary, Because of the queen's kindness, the prince will not only be unable to covet the throne in the future, but will even be trampled under his feet forever!" Yun Niang persuaded in a persuasive way, pretending to be concerned.

"Yunniang, what are you talking about?" Enraged Hui En stared at Yunniang with fear and helplessness.

"Yunniang just asked the prince, do you want to inherit the former emperor and rule the world?" A smile appeared on the corner of Yunniang's mouth, and she looked at the uneasy Hui En strangely.

"Yunniang, is there a way to ascend the throne without hurting the queen mother?" Hui En stared at Yunniang with a begging expression.

"Okay, the prince is a real man, so I will do it according to my method. I will send someone to monitor the queen's every move in Jianjia Palace, and then spread rumors to the outside, saying that the child in the queen's womb is not the first emperor's own flesh and blood, but the queen and the digger. Child of Tu, this rumor is very true, as time goes on, even if the queen gives birth to a son, she will not be qualified to succeed to the throne!" Yun Niang said in a low voice with a treacherous face.

"This!" Hui En's eyes immediately turned blood red from the stimulation.

"My lord, if you go on like this, you will have no hope of winning the throne! First of all, the king of Song killed Boding before us, and his credit has surpassed ours. Then there is the empress's son, who has already won the support of all the officials, my lord. , For the great Zhou's foundation, we must think long-term!" In the gloomy Lu Palace, Chuxiu was drinking alone, and the anxious general Wu Gong asked Chuxiu to see him, and loyally made a suggestion to Chuxiu.

Chuxiu put down his wine glass, looked at Wu Gong and said: "Wu Gong, do you know why this king is drunk these days? The purpose is to deceive people. Regarding the throne, this king is determined to win it, but it is just that there is no other way."

Wu Gong cupped his hands and said: "My lord, why don't you do something about Master Cheng Rong? This morning, Master Cheng Rong doesn't seem to agree with the establishment of a young monarch in the country."

"However, this person is upright and has a very close relationship with Que Tu and the Queen. How could he help us?"
