Three days later, Princess Xuanwen sent someone to invite Huo Lian.
After not seeing each other for three days, Princess Xuanwen has become even older.
"When people wake up, they are frightened and don't remember many things," she said.
Huo Lian said: "That's good. Don't remember the bad things."
Princess Xuanwen was silent for a moment, stared at Huo Lian, and asked, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?"
Huo Lian shook her head: "No, that's what I meant."
Princess Xuanwen shouted.
"Princess, there is no need to speculate on your majesty's thoughts. The prince and the princess have watched your majesty grow up. Your majesty is not a heartless and unjust person." Huo Lian said, "This matter is just my intention."
Princess Xuanwen looked at him bitterly: "He is a child, why must he die! He no longer has a father!"
"But his father was once a prince." Huo Lian said, "Even if he is dead."
Without waiting for Princess Xuanwen to speak again, Huo Lian continued.
"Not long ago, I received news that several ministers were chatting. They felt that when the late emperor granted the emperor's eldest grandson the title of Prince Changping, it meant that Prince Changping would inherit the throne."
When the crown prince was no longer there, his children were granted the titles of princes and princesses. However, the late emperor directly granted them the title of prince, the same title as his biological prince.
After hearing this, Princess Xuanwen's expression changed slightly and she stood up: "This has nothing to do with us! We have never thought of it this way."
Huo Lian looked at her: "It doesn't matter whether you think about it or not. The identity of Princess and Prince Changping is not up to you."
The identity of Prince Changping is indeed
Princess Xuanwen remained silent and did not speak.
"If one day, someone in the court asks Prince Changping to be the crown prince, it will not be something that only Prince Changping's life can solve."
"So I want to eliminate this possibility."
A prince from Pojiao, no matter how orthodox his status, is not qualified to be an emperor. This is a truth recognized by the court and the people.
Princess Xuanwen looked at the young man in the room. He didn't seem to be popular at all. What a person with no popularity did was really considerate.
Princess Xuanwen laughed again: "No wonder the Governor is so favored by the Holy Spirit. You are really conscientious in your duties."
Huo Lian said calmly: "It's my duty as a minister."
Princess Xuanwen continued to laugh dryly: "Isn't it my duty as a princess to apologize to Your Majesty? It's because I didn't take good care of my son and stay well by His Majesty's side. He was injured as soon as he came back. I'm really guilty."
Huo Lian shook her head: "No, the princess should scold Your Majesty."
There was no court meeting today, so it was already three o'clock in the morning when Liu Yan appeared in the imperial study.
But the officials here have not dispersed yet, but are filling the front hall.
Liu Yan was a little confused: "Why are you still here?"
It stands to reason that everything that should be discussed at this point has been discussed, so he chose to come here at this time to save waiting time.
Although the emperor treated him favorably, there were too many court affairs and they were complicated, and it was impossible to always let him speak first when he came.
"Master Liu made a miscalculation this time." An official said with a smile, "We haven't even had our turn yet."
Who took up His Majesty's time? Liu Yan looked at the Imperial Study Room, what was the big deal?
Another official lowered his voice and told him: "Princess Xuanwen is inside, something happened to Prince Changping——"
Before he finished speaking, a woman's cry came from the imperial study room.
Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that
A few days ago, Huo Lian escorted Prince Changping back to the palace, so, as expected,
Isn’t this child going to die a good death?
"My life is safe." An official looked at Liu Yan's face and knew what he was thinking. They were all the same just now, so he hurriedly told him in a low voice, "It's just that one foot is broken."
The official said with a meaningful look in his eyes.
What Liu Yan was about to say, the woman in the imperial study suddenly cried loudly.
".This is all your fault! Zhao Zhen'er, it was you who harmed my Ye'er!"
The shout broke through the window lattice and door curtain, making the sky in the imperial study room freeze.
The country's surname is Zhao, and Zhen'er is the emperor's nickname.
The female voice in the imperial study room sounded like a shrew.
"Are you worthy of your big brother! Are you worthy of me?"
"How much food have you eaten from me and how many clothes have you worn by me? Is this your reward now?"
"You control Chang Ping so strictly. He can't have fun every day, so he will be greedy and have fun when he comes home."
"How old is he? Why are you teaching him horseback riding and archery? Do you think he is too stable and has no chance to bump into each other?"
When the scolding came, Liu Yan turned around and left. Today's discussion would definitely not be concluded, but when he returned to the check-in room, the news continued to come.
When Princess Xuanwen scolded the emperor, Uncle Li rushed in directly as a member of the family. Soon after, Queen Li also hurried over, and then the princess and her consort also came. It was naturally a family matter when the family gathered together.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, not to mention that the emperor was really raised by the princess when he was a child. Princess Xuanwen scolded the emperor for being arrogant, but the two princesses are biological sisters. Of course, the biological sister protects her brother. The princesses are also very temperamental and can't tolerate it.
He couldn't bear it, and he and his eldest sister-in-law also started to argue.
"How can you blame the emperor for being harsh? You are clearly the one who indulges him!"
"Nothing happened in the imperial city. I broke my foot after just one day at your house. How can you still have the nerve to complain to the emperor?"
"Don't think I don't know. Every time Chang Ping goes to your house, you spoil him and indulge him. Every time he comes back, you make a few bad mistakes!"
"Li Huiniang, how dare you talk about those days? We don't know how you behaved and acted in those days?"
"You have been like this since you got married. You only blame others, but you are good yourself!"
Family affairs are rehashing old things, especially the conflict between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law. They were quarreling and crying in the imperial study. The emperor comforted the eldest sister-in-law, scolded the two younger sisters, and finally recalled the father and the emperor together. The whole family finally burst into tears.
Liu Yan laughed when he heard this and continued to lower his head to read the paperwork.
The officials around listened with great interest and asked the official who reported the news what he said in the end.
The official who brought the news said: "Your Majesty has agreed to let Prince Changping stay with Princess Xuanwen. At least, he will not come back until he recovers from his injury."
He laughed again when he said this.
"There's even more coke. What do you think of Huo Lian?"
Oh yes, and Huo Lian,
Prince Changping was escorted home by Huo Lian. If something happened to Prince Changping, he would not be able to escape.
Of course, death is definitely inevitable, but a punishment cannot be avoided, right?
This is one of the consequences of being in power. The masters cannot bear the pain of flesh and blood, but you have to bear it.
"What? Not only was Huo Lian not punished, but she also made a fuss to investigate Princess Xuanwen, saying that Prince Changping wanted to arrest Princess Xuanwen because Princess Xuanwen encountered an accident and suspected that Princess Xuanwen was plotting against the prince -"
this!
The officials looked stunned.
Liu Yan's laughter came from behind: "What he said is correct."
But how is that possible? The officials couldn’t laugh or cry. Huo Lian was too
"Princess Xuanwen was lying on the ground and insisted on going to jail to prove her innocence. Your Majesty was also furious and told Huo Lian to get out."
What is this? But after hearing this, some officials couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that she is really the princess?"
Prince Changping has a special status, and there will be problems sooner or later. I thought it was His Majesty's intention this time. Now look, maybe it is an accident, maybe it is really the princess herself.
"In that case," an official whispered, "the princess is really a wise person."
Wise royal relatives and relatives are not ruthless and ruthless emperors. Only in this way can the royal family be harmonious and everything will be prosperous. Only when the family is prosperous can the country be prosperous.
So very good.
So very good.
Princess Xuanwen drove out of the imperial city carrying the emperor's greetings and the usual servants from the East Palace.
Huo Lian was standing outside the imperial city.
The car stopped when it passed him, and Princess Xuanwen raised the car curtain and looked at him.
"Huo Lian." She whispered hoarsely, "Are you really not sad at all when you do something to a child?"
Huo Lian smiled: "What's so sad about this."
Princess Xuanwen let out a sharp laugh: "You are really worse than a beast."
