"My lord, just say so." As they spoke, they had already walked out of the palace door. The spring light outside was still bright, falling vigorously on the white marble steps.
After Tulichen glanced left and right, he lowered his voice and said: "You and Prince Bao are both elder brothers of the dynasty. No matter who you are, you are qualified to inherit the throne. Although the emperor is a little partial now, the emperor is a wise master after all. As long as the prince
you
The ability is indeed stronger than that of Prince Bao, so the emperor will definitely choose the right person, and you can rest assured of this. Struggles are inevitable, but they must be fought on the right path, not some heretical ways. You understand what I mean
Do you mean it?"
Hongshi's eyes flashed slightly and he said humbly: "Hongshi understands, Sir, don't worry, Hongshi will always remember Sir's teachings."
After sending Turichen across the Waijinshui Bridge and getting on the sedan, Hongshi just peeled off the false modesty on his face and showed a sneer as he watched Turichen's sedan go away.
This old guy was still suspicious of himself after all, but presumably it was because he wasn't 100% sure, so he didn't reveal the matter and just submitted a petition to resign, which was a great blessing among misfortunes.
However... Tu Lichen has confidence in Huang Ama, but he has no confidence at all. If Hongli is not removed as soon as possible, no matter how outstanding he is, Huang Ama will only pass the throne to Hongli. He does not want to
Make wedding clothes for others.
Besides, as long as you can become the winner in the end, it doesn't matter what means you use. Only an old stubborn like Turichen would say such a thing, which is simply out of reach.
Thinking of this, Hongshi was about to get on the sedan when he thought of something and said: "You guys go back first, I have to go to pay my respects to the Queen."
After Wang Zhong led the sedan bearers away, Hongshi turned around and walked towards the harem. When he crossed the palace gate, the figure of Xu Changzai suddenly appeared in his mind, remembering the scene of their meeting that day.
That meeting was like a spell cast on me. I could never forget it. I thought about meeting again all the time. But Xu Changzai was Huang Ama’s woman. So what if I met her? She would never change.
She became his woman. So these days, he had been suppressing the longing in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't suppress it at all. He wanted to see her, and he wanted to see the woman who looked so much like Jiamo, even just for a glance.
His hands clenched and unclenched, just like his heart at the moment. He knew that it must be a mistake to see Xu Changzai, but he couldn't erase her figure from his mind. What should he do? What should he do?
After struggling for a long time, Hongshi tried harder and harder, and finally walked to Kunning Palace. When he got there, he happened to see Nala enjoying tea in the courtyard. When he saw Hongshi coming in, he smiled slightly and said,
He waved his hand and said, "I happen to have something to ask you. I wanted Xiao Ningzi to summon you. It's such a coincidence that you came here. Are you going to court?"
Hongshi sat down next to her and said, "Yes, I wonder if the emperor has anything to ask your minister?"
"I heard that the emperor kept you and Fourth Brother in court yesterday. Why?" Although Nala always had a friendly smile on his face, his tone was obviously much more solemn than before.
"My son is also about to talk to the emperor about this matter." At that moment, he would see Yang Hai whispering to Hongli outside the palace gate, then find out that Hongli sent people to the mass graves, and then realize that
Ji went out of the city overnight and even Tu Lichen resigned from office, all of which were explained in detail.
Nala was still smiling at first, but after hearing what she said, her delicately made-up face completely darkened, "So, all of this is a trap set by Niu Hulu and Si Age?"
"Yes, they lured Erchen to take the bait and found the bodies of Ping'er and Ping'er. Fortunately, Dark Eagle scratched their faces at that time, otherwise Tu Lichen would not have become an official as easily as he did."
Nala let out a breath and said, "It's a good thing that you reacted quickly and realized that you had fallen into their trap, otherwise you and I would be in big trouble."
Hongshi said with some annoyance: "It's because I didn't think well. If I had found out earlier, Hongli would have never had the chance to snatch the corpse's head and then go to make trouble in front of Tu Lichen."
"You have done a good job." Listening to Nala's comfort, Hongshi said: "Before, the emperor's mother said that I should let my son win over Tu Lichen, but now it is like this, my son..."
"You are not to blame for this matter. Since Turichen wants to become an official, it is up to him. Moreover, after such an incident, he no longer trusts you. Leaving the court and the capital may not be a bad thing for you.
Hongshi, please remember that a weapon cannot be used by you forever. When you find that this weapon is about to be taken away by others, the best way is to destroy it immediately so that you will not be hurt by it.
Do you understand?"
"I understand." As soon as Hongshi finished speaking, Nala said: "Yesterday, your emperor Ama asked you to go first, but kept Hongli here. This proves that the person he values most in his heart is still Hongli. This
You should always keep this in mind, but don’t act rashly.”
Hongshi lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will not act recklessly."
"By the way, I have met several rookies who were drafted into the palace last year. One of them is Xu Changzai. She looks very much like Sochoro." When saying this, Nala's eyes widened.
He kept staring at Hongshi's face, and then asked tentatively: "Have you ever seen her?"
Regarding Nala's sudden question about Xu Changzai, Hongshi looked panicked and opened his mouth and said: "My son... my son..."
"Have you met, haven't you?" Nala put her hand on the back of Hongshi's hand and said warmly: "I know that you have always missed Suo Chuoluo, but she is no longer here. Now Xu Chang is here, but
A person who looks somewhat similar to her is not her, do you understand what Huang'e Niang means?"
How could Hongshi not understand that Nala was worried that he would forget Xu Changzai's identity and would never forget her face, so he reminded himself like this to never make any mistakes.
Thinking like this, he said with difficulty: "I know that she is not Jia Mo, she is Huang Ama's concubine."
"Okay!" Nala nodded and sighed: "Huang'e Niang also knows that this is very difficult for you, but this is the fact. No one can change it. We can only learn to accept it. It's not easy for you and Huang'e Niang.
Now that we have come to this day, we cannot make any more mistakes.”
Hongshi secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I will protect myself and the emperor, and I will not let anyone hurt the emperor, including myself."
Hearing these words, Nala's eyes showed satisfaction, and she nodded and said, "The Queen believes in you."
While Hongshi was talking to Nala, Hongli also brought Mingyu into the palace and told Ling Ruo about her pregnancy. Ling Ruo was overjoyed and rewarded Mingyu with many things and ordered people to help her.
He went to rest in the Nuan Pavilion, and then said: "Does everyone in your house know about this?"
Hongli knew what Ling Ruo meant by asking, and said, "Yes, including Nala Xianyue."
