He smiled and said, "But the Crown Princess must be chosen carefully. The Queen Mother cannot be in a hurry. After all, in the future, the mother will be the one to honor the world, and there are not many suitable people. But let alone, there is a candidate for the son, Ling'er.
The handkerchief I handed you is the granddaughter of Old Sima Lezheng..."
"Clang!"
There was a crisp sound.
Tantai Hanze was startled and shut up abruptly.
What's wrong? Did he say something wrong?
Empress Xiao put the teacup in her hand suddenly on the tea table, turned her eyes, and looked at the young man who was talking expressionlessly, "Ze'er, the queen mother has her own plans regarding the prince's affairs. Also, the queen mother told you
How many times have I stopped getting entangled in these women's family affairs, asking which girl does what, and focusing more on national affairs. It seems that the Taishi girl is a talker, and I will never let such a person stay here.
Being around you with these crooked thoughts all day long has taught you bad things."
"Mother, it's not like this..." Tantai Hanze stood up in excitement.
Empress Xiao no longer listened to his explanation and said solemnly, "You are not young anymore. It's time to help your father share the burden on your shoulders with some snacks."
"But, isn't the prince brother here? I don't like to lead troops to fight, let alone care about national affairs, and I can't learn about them. I just eat, drink, and play every day. It's quite good..." Tantai Han
Ze's voice was weak. He sat down and looked at Queen Xiao's increasingly serious face, not daring to say any more.
"You!"
Queen Xiao slapped her palm on the table.
"By the way, mother, what's going on with the crown prince brother?" Tantai Hanze quickly changed the topic, and was indeed a little worried, "I haven't heard from the crown prince brother for a long time, and I don't know what the battle situation is like ahead. I heard that Beichen Yan Yujia is marching in person.
Yes, Emperor Yan is a ruthless person."
Queen Xiao's face turned completely cold, "Ze'er! Don't interfere with the prince's affairs. During these times, go to your father and walk around more and learn from him."
"Mother..." Tantai Hanze wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Empress Xiao with a wave of her hand, "Biyu, it's getting late. Send the Ninth Prince out of the palace."
"Mother!"
Tantai Hanze looked at his mother.
He just didn't understand why his mother was so harsh on the prince's brother.
"Yes." Biyu blessed her body, went to Tantai Hanze, and whispered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has not been sleeping well recently, and it is getting late today. You should go back to your house first, and don't make your Majesty angry again."
Already."
Tantai Hanze looked at his mother's cold side face and did not dare to ask any more questions. He reluctantly got up and said, "Then, mother, have a good rest. I will retire..."
Just as he turned around and walked out, the eunuch in charge hurriedly ran out. He stumbled at the door of the palace in a panic and fell upside down. However, he did not dare to delay at all. He got up and continued running in.
, "The Queen, it's not good, something bad is going to happen, Your Majesty!"
The high-pitched voice instantly spread throughout Fengyi Hall.
"How unbecoming is it to be in such a panic?" Queen Xiao looked unhappy and her face was as dark as water.xdw8
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." The eunuch in charge did not care to plead guilty and knelt down on the ground, "It's a serious matter. His Royal Highness was besieged by Tianlin from three sides in Quewu Mountain. He jumped into the Wujiang River and there is no news about it.
"
Empress Xiao's hand that was leaning on the tea cup trembled violently, she suddenly lost consciousness, and her whole body seemed to be empty.
"What?" Tantai Hanze stepped over and grabbed the eunuch's collar, "You said the prince's brother is dead? Dead? How is that possible!"
"It's absolutely true." The old eunuch in charge's eyes flashed with tears, "The news coming from the front, I heard it with my own ears just after arriving at the Qiankun Palace. The emperor was so furious that he vomited blood and fainted. All the imperial doctors were summoned.
, The Emperor had an old illness, but this time he was so anxious that he vomited blood and passed out. Even the doctor said it was dangerous!"
The dangerous section of the Wujiang River outside Qingshan Pass is world-famous!
Even when he was in the deep palace, he heard about it. The flesh and blood body fell down and was turned into pulp by the rocks in a few seconds. There was no news at all. It was just a little better than the broken corpse in Wujiang. There was no difference.
The Emperor loves this son the most. He has taken him with him to teach him since he was a child, and he has high hopes for His Highness the Crown Prince.
He was planning to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his post after returning from this expedition. The courtiers knew this very well, but they didn't want it to happen. How could the emperor accept it?
"This, this, this..." After hearing this, Tantai Hanze became more and more panicked, running around anxiously, "What should I do? How terrible is this? If the father does not recover from this breath, the prince and brother will not know whether they are alive or dead.
, Xilan, won’t the world be in chaos?”
The idle prince who originally lived in a paradise was suddenly brought back to reality, but he was so panicked that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"What should I do!" Queen Xiao's cold words came from the side, as if the one who died was not her biological son, her beautiful eyes were heavy and her voice was terrifyingly cold, "If the prince is gone, he can be re-established. If the emperor doesn't wake up,
I am the queen, and I will appoint whoever I say!"
Little by little, she turned her eyes to Tantai Hanze.
The old eunuch was a master of living, how could he not know what Queen Xiao was thinking, but looking at the situation at this time, he could not help but feel a little sad.
It is said that a couple's love lasts for a night, so why is the Queen so hard-hearted?
The emperor gave almost all his favor to the queen, and he had three thousand favors on him. However, at this time, he still couldn't get the slightest care from the queen. The queen only thought about her position.
That's all for the emperor, but His Highness the Crown Prince is the mother's own flesh and blood.
Now that she is dying at the foot of the Wujiang River, the Queen is unwilling to even ask a few more questions, and she can't even show her sadness at all.
It was said that the Queen only dotes on the young Highness and is indifferent to His Highness the Crown Prince. But he always thought that after all, it is his own child, so why would he not care about it? It is just that the way of love is different. The Queen must be stricter with His Highness the Crown Prince.
It's just because he will inherit the throne in the future and can't always hide in his mother's arms.
But now it seems that he is really indifferent.
He doesn’t even care whether he is alive or dead!
Facing his mother's cold and stern gaze, the dull Tantai Hanze looked around and reacted for a long time before he realized it was him. Tantai Hanze, who was already flustered, suddenly changed his expression, "
No, I can’t do it, Queen Mother!”
He waved his hands and backed away, shaking his head like a rattle.
How can that work? That is the position of the prince brother. What if the prince brother is not dead yet?
"We just fell into Wujiang, and there was still a glimmer of hope. Brother Prince has gone through so many dangers in his wars in the south and north, and he has survived them all. I believe that this time, brother Prince will be able to return safely." Tantai Hanze
He looked anxious.
At this time, he was trembling like a frightened cat.
"Idiot, how could I, with such a great reputation, give birth to a piece of shit like you that can't stand up to the wall!" Empress Xiao shouted sharply, stood up suddenly, lifted the wide sleeves of her phoenix robe, and raised a cold arc in the air, "This emperor's
This position is yours, even if the prince is here, it will be the same!"
Tantai Hanze seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Mother, you...what are you talking about, my son, my son, why can't you understand?" Tantai Hanze was at a loss and used a palm to hold back his delicate face, which turned red, and his neck became thicker.
