Sure enough, Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes fell on Long Tianyu.
Suddenly, the entire Dongnuan Pavilion became quiet.
Long Tianyu lowered his head and his brain was running rapidly, but all this happened so unprepared that he couldn't figure out the secret for a while.
"Yu'er, what do you think about this matter?"
In the quiet Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Jin Yuan's voice was unhurried, but he spoke clearly every word.
Although Long Tianyu couldn't guess, he knew that a bad answer to this matter would definitely lead to disaster.
He lowered his head respectfully and said cautiously.
"My son - I have little talent and little knowledge, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such an important responsibility. Besides, my father is in strong health, so there is no need to rush into the matter of being crown prince."
In short, no one can find anything wrong with this answer.
Seeing that his father's gaze did not change in any way, Long Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"We'll talk about this later. You just came back from Yunzhou, so go back and rest first."
After hearing what his father said, Long Tianyu didn't have any unnecessary words. After bowing, he calmly exited Dongnuan Pavilion.
The matter of abolishing the crown prince seems to have been concluded, but the uneasy look in Lin Nansheng's eyes just now caused waves of doubts to rise in Long Tianyu's heart.
Of course, the father was inclined to want to depose the prince, but these generals were usually reticent.
Why did he actively recommend himself to become the crown prince today?
And no matter what others think, Lin Nansheng is his eldest brother-in-law, and the entire Lin family is in the same boat as him.
But why did Lin Nansheng actually say that he would protect the prince?
"Go and find out what happened in the morning meeting today."
Going to a secluded corner, Long Tianyu summoned the hidden clues he had buried in the palace and asked him to find out what happened.
The hidden thread was a little chamberlain who was waiting in front of the emperor. He came quietly and left quietly, but every time, he could bring the most accurate news.
Unintentionally turning to a quiet path, Long Tianyu raised his head and saw three very familiar characters - Jinxiu Palace.
There was a secret feeling in his heart. Others thought that his mother and concubine were enjoying the happiness of their family in his house.
Little did he know that his biological mother suffered a lot at the hands of the vicious queen.
He clenched and unclenched his hands. Unfortunately, he had too many worries. Otherwise, he would have rushed to the queen's palace and personally brought his mother back.
It's a pity that for the sake of the world, for the stability of Jin State, and for the temporary peace on the surface of the royal family, he can only be an unfilial son.< br>
The mood is a bit heavy, the Jinxiu Palace, which is no longer inhabited, has long been turned into an empty city.
People in the palace only care about those in power. I heard that in just one month, Concubine Xian has become a popular figure in the palace.
Where will anyone remember Concubine De, who was once able to fight against the Queen?
Although it is still deep in the palace, weeds are gradually sprouting up in the courtyard of Jinxiu Palace.
Perhaps, only when the mother-in-law returns to the palace can the Splendid Palace regain its prosperity.
Long Tianyu was worried about his mother, so he walked into the Splendid Palace involuntarily.
But just as he opened the door, he saw a figure disappearing inside the palace door.
Why is there someone at this time? Could it be the maid before the mother-in-law?
Long Tianyu frowned slightly, thinking that someone was trying to steal something, so he quietly appeared at the door of the side hall where the figure appeared.
As soon as he arrived here, he noticed some differences.
At the entrance of other palaces, because no one has been in or out for a long time, the grass has sprouted green.
But here, the doorway is bare.
Could it be that there are still people living here?
Tiptoeing, he walked into the side hall. The dim sunlight, accompanied by an unpleasant smell, made Long Tianyu's heart skip a beat.
Is there really anyone here?
He became more and more cautious, fearing that he would make a little noise and alert the people inside. But he almost searched the entire side hall, and still couldn't find any clues.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
But soon, Long Tianyu remembered. There used to be a small room connected to the outside of the side hall. It was originally occupied by some palace maids who did menial work. Later, in order to avoid suspicion, the mother-in-law dismissed them all.
So, the place became vacant.
Could it be that it is there?
Changing direction, he walked behind a screen in the deepest part of the side hall. Long Tianyu listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a burst of extremely low conversation coming from inside.
However, as soon as he heard it clearly, his whole body felt like a lightning strike.
That is--
He gently walked around the screen and opened the small wooden door.
The stinky smell made Long Tianyu feel a little unaccustomed to it.
But he didn't even care about so much,
The whole person walked into this room mechanically.
"Liang'er, thank you for coming here these days. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would starve to death here."
The weak voice was as gentle and sweet as before. When Long Tianyu heard this voice, he felt that his eye circles were about to turn red.
He clenched his fists, but stood there blankly, looking at the figure slumped on the bed under the only light.
"Who's coming?"
On the bed, the woman's reaction was still sharp. In an instant, the woman standing beside the bed hid under the curtain.
However, when Long Tianyu's figure appeared in the woman's sight, the woman on the bed, who still maintained her nobility and elegance even in a state of embarrassment, instantly turned red.
"Yu'er Yu'er, go quickly! It's very dangerous here, that woman will send someone here at any time! Go quickly, don't worry about my mother-in-law, everything is fine with my mother-in-law! Let's go quickly!"
This is the mother. When she sees her son, the first thing that comes to her mind is the child's safety.
Even if she is already behind bars, even if she has been tortured... .??.
Long Tianyu stood in front of his mother and concubine in a daze, and suddenly fell to his knees, with tears already pouring out of his eyes.
"Mother and concubine, it's all my fault. I will save you now!"
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law was actually trapped here.
Long Tianyu looked at his mother-in-law who had become emaciated, feeling a mixture of anger and distress in his heart.
He reached out and was about to pick up the thin body of the concubine, but unexpectedly, the concubine De, who was also excited, stopped his actions.
"Not yet, son. You can't take me away now. Besides, even if I really go out with you, we, mother and son, may not be able to leave this palace. I heard that your father has recovered, remember
Children, you must listen to your father's words. Now, only your father is the only hope for our mother and son."
Although her face was as pale as a vegetable, Concubine De's smiling eyes filled with tears were filled with the light of hope.
These two men are the motivation for her to persevere even though she is tortured every day.
As long as they are here, I will eventually see the light of day again.
"Concubine, I must take you away!"
Long Tianyu could no longer endure the pain of his mother and concubine being trapped and tortured wantonly.
But Concubine De smiled bitterly and lifted up her robe, which was so dirty that the color could not be seen.
On her slender ankle, she saw an anklet made of fine iron. On the other side of the anklet, there was a , the more there is a dark iron chain as thick as an arm.
"How dare they! Concubine, just wait, I will go out to find someone and rescue you!"
Long Tianyu was furious. The once noble and gentle mother-in-law was actually subjected to such inhuman torture. That vicious woman deserved to die!
But Concubine De was calmer than her son. Perhaps it was because of the torture in the past few days that this originally smart and strong woman became wiser and calmer.
Holding her son's warm and thick hand, even if it was dirty, it could not hide the happy smile on her face.
"Now is not the time. Your father must actually know that I am being imprisoned here. However, he cannot come to rescue me. I think it must be because the Queen used me as a bargaining chip to threaten your father.
.Besides, the real virtuous concubine is still in your house. She knows almost everything about me. If we go out like this, there is no chance of winning."
Concubine De's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly calming Long Tianyu down.
What kind of human skin mask, what kind of impostor, with the queen's methods, will definitely be wiped out.
Maybe the mother-in-law will encounter some dangers.
Such an insidious trick. Even if the father or he finds the mother-in-law in the palace, he cannot take her out of the palace. But if she is hidden in the palace, the queen's spies will be everywhere here.
Here, it is too easy for the queen to kill someone.
Moreover, until the identity of the mother-concubine was confirmed, no one would believe that this woman who looked like a female ghost was actually the noble concubine in her prime.
This will only alert the enemy and disrupt all of my father's plans.
However, he couldn't bear to let his mother and concubine suffer here.
For a time, Prince Yu, who had always been decisive in killing, was caught in a dilemma.
"Don't worry about me, she doesn't dare to kill me yet. How have you been lately? Mengya must have taken good care of you. She is a good child. I knew it from the first sight of her. Seeing you safe
Okay, my mother and concubine are relieved. Let’s go, my child, only if you are safe and sound can my mother and concubine see the light of day again.”
Concubine De looked at her son reluctantly, gently tracing her son's eyebrows with her skinny fingers.
In this dark little room, there was a different kind of tenderness and love between mother and son.
In the past, she only cared about being a qualified mother-in-law, and she was even a little harsh on her only son.
But today, after seeing her son, she had only a mother's love in her heart. Even the sharpest steel knife in the world cannot cut off a mother's flexibility.
