The queen stood up and took the prince's hand, brushing the silk clothes on her body. Her eyes looked through the white gauze curtain at the dark wooden coffin inside.
The secret guard sent before was dead and did not come back to fight back. She was afraid that the situation was in danger. After she learned that Gu Chengyu was practicing martial arts, she became more sure of her thoughts.
The prince sighed after hearing this, "Mother, I know that you are afraid that he will be harmful to me. But the court needs him now, so I don't want to force him too much, and letting him hold heavy troops is the biggest threat to me.
.”
The queen turned to look at the prince, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Is it true that this country will collapse without him? Since the emperor is so afraid of him, it is better to try to eradicate him to avoid future troubles. The country has talented people from generation to generation. After you ascend the throne, add Enke and invite more people.
All the famous people in the world are still worried that there is no capable person to help you? Why bother clinging to him alone?"
The queen did not have a good impression of Gu Chengyu. He was a commoner from a humble background, but he had such a proud character. Even though he was kneeling in front of her, his body was filled with an awe-inspiring and unyielding attitude.
Just like that bitch, she obviously does despicable things and has a lower status than the common people. Even if she is humiliated in every way, she still looks proud and proud, which makes people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
With a matching identity, how dare you be so arrogant?
And this is not the only thing that the Queen hates about Gu Chengyu. What really makes her unbearable is that before his death, the Emperor actually handed over his last words to this person.
What has become of her royal son? His noble Highness, the Crown Prince, is worse than a courtier born from a commoner? And he is also a fourth-rank official. How can she endure this?
She was fooled by Gu Chengyu at that time, but she realized something was wrong afterward. It was a pity that she was fooled by this person. But Huang Er stopped her, otherwise she would have made an excuse long ago. Even if she couldn't kill him, he would still suffer.
Since the emperor had given his last words to this person, he was giving away the handle on their mother and son. The thought of the handle that could hold them back, mother and son in Gu Chengyu's hands, made the queen sleepless all night.
The prince smiled bitterly. In fact, he knew his mother's temperament. Isn't it because his father called Gu Chengyu to give his last words before he died? He had such a big opinion against Gu Chengyu?
Is the Queen Mother expressing her anger? He glanced at the coffin behind the gauze curtain, and actually felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Back then, the father and the queen were a couple who loved each other, but since they had that woman, the father has changed. And how can the queen feel better?
Before his death, his father was still thinking about others, and he was even more dismissive of his legitimate son. Ask yourself, does he feel good? In fact, he and his mother feel the same.
"The Queen Mother cannot deny that Gu Chengyu is indeed talented. Since he has chosen to remain silent, he will not regret it, at least for now. Today, in order to calm the Queen Mother down, I also gave the credit to Kuang Zhaoying in vain. He did not come,
This is the biggest concession. If the queen mother is still dissatisfied with him, I don’t know if I can still sit on this supreme throne."
The queen mother did have a hand in taking away Gu Chengyu's credit today, but only this time.
Although the Queen Mother is someone close to him, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. He made an exception for the Queen Mother today, which is an explanation to the Queen Mother. After all, Gu Chengyu teased the Queen Mother before, and she always wanted to calm down the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with your mother?" The queen glanced at the prince with sinister eyes, and she felt a little angry in her heart.
At what point did this son no longer need her?
"You want to inherit the throne, and your wings are strong. You feel that I am not worthy of interfering in the government affairs, so you have to guard against me, right?" Endless sadness emerged in the queen's chest. The royal family has no family ties. It is true.
"Why did the queen misinterpret the son's meaning? When the father was still alive, the mother and the son had always depended on each other, and the son naturally respected the mother. Now that the father has passed away, the son is about to get the supreme power. The mother
You should be happy for your son. In the past, my mother always said that my son was too indecisive. Now that my son has begun to learn to be independent, what is the queen mother's dissatisfaction with?"
The prince had been very tired from not sleeping for the past few days. Their mother and son had already quarreled twice over Gu Chengyu. Could this be the beginning of the disagreement between him and his mother?
If the queen mother continues to interfere in government affairs in the future, then mother and son will one day become strangers.
The queen's chest heaved violently. She looked at the tired face of the prince, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her and the ruthless emperor overlapped. How similar they were!
"Mother, you have been tired these past few days. You should go back and rest first. You have to continue tomorrow. As for Gu Chengyu, I have my own arrangements, so don't worry, Mother."
The prince was afraid that he would say something that would hurt the feelings of mother and son, so he quickly called the maid and helped the queen back to the palace.
Looking at the queen's hunched back, the prince knew that he had indeed hurt his mother's heart today. After all, the queen mother was afraid of Gu Chengyu, probably because of him.
But the Queen Mother is a woman after all, and it is not appropriate to interfere in government affairs. And since he wants to inherit the throne, he must change his temper and show some courage.
Sighing, the prince knelt before the spirit again. With all the fuss just now, the fire in the brazier almost died out.
"Your Highness! Can you rest for a while?" Pang Chu looked at the prince like this and felt a little distressed.
"Have Master Gu come here to look for me?" The prince thought of Gu Chengyu. Until now, Gu Chengyu has not come to him, and he doesn't know what his thoughts are.
"No!" Pang Chu shook his head and looked at the prince cautiously.
"He is quite calm!" The prince smiled slightly. Gu Chengyu had a keen mind and might understand his intentions.
"Your Highness!" A dark figure came out from a dark corner and saluted the prince.
"What's wrong?"
"As expected, he sent someone to find Mr. Kuang. I watched the spy come out of Kuang's house."
"Besides Kuang Mansion, did you go to other houses?" The prince put the yellow paper into the brazier and watched the strong flames devour the yellow paper until it burned to ashes.
"Not yet!"
"Keep a close eye and never relax."
When the prince straightened up, there was no one behind him.
"Your Highness! Let's have some midnight snack first!" There was a bowl of steaming shredded chicken porridge on the tray held by Pang Chu. He looked at the prince and persuaded him softly.
"Okay! I happen to be hungry too!"
After several days of national mourning, the prince had lost a lot of weight. On this day, the two vassal princes finally arrived in the capital.
Gu Chengyu straightened Zheng Sujin, and together with all the officials, he welcomed the vassal king into the capital.
