Gonggong Ning asked, "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are going to prepare utensils?" ”

"Go ahead."

Gonggong Ning trotted out, and happened to meet someone from Fengyi Palace, so he turned back to the hall.

"I don't see the Queen." The emperor glanced at the window and said lazily, "Go and call Concubine De." ”

Ning Gong said fairly: "The slave listens to the female official of Fengyi Palace, the queen asks to see the emperor not to intercede for the prince, nor to see the prince, but to ask the emperor to punish the prince severely, so I hope the emperor must listen to the voice of the mother." ”

"Mother's voice?" The emperor's eyes flickered, as if he had heard something funny.

Even if Gonggong Ning has been by the emperor's side for many years, it is difficult to find out where his laughter is.

Maybe something that is not funny at all can make the emperor laugh.

Maybe when everyone was amused and laughed, the emperor watched coldly and was unmoved.

"Then ......" Gonggong Ning waited for the emperor's exact meaning, and didn't want to figure out the emperor's mind at this time.

"Okay, let her come."

When Empress Cai came to the Liangyi Palace, she saw that the emperor was wearing a robe made of white cloth, his sleeves were rolled up, and he was grinding a broken sword without the image of an emperor.

What does it mean for the emperor to sharpen his sword at this time?

Do you want to kill the prince with your own hands?

Empress Cai's eyelids jumped again, her heart was panicked, and she had to pretend to be calm and calm on the surface, "The concubine is the emperor." ”

"The queen doesn't need to be polite, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." The emperor didn't raise his head, as if he was throwing his whole heart into sharpening his sword.

This made Empress Cai feel that no matter what she said, I was afraid that the emperor would not listen to it, and the pestle was in vain here...... But now that she was in this situation, she had to say something.

Empress Cai took a deep breath, knelt directly in front of the emperor, solemnly kowtowed, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the concubine has no way to teach his son, so that he is crazy about love and harms people's lives for no reason!" As the prince of the Great Zhou, he actually made such a serious mistake, and the concubine begged the emperor to severely punish the prince, so that he could remember the lesson and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past! At the same time, please punish the concubine as well......"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

The emperor said: "You ask for punishment...... That...... Give up your phoenix seal and give it to Concubine De? ”

"......" Queen Cai was stunned, she didn't know how to answer for a while, only a wave of hatred suddenly rushed to the top of her head, wanting to immediately pull out the phoenix hairpin on her bun, and then ......

The emperor glanced at her and said lightly: "I'm joking." ”

Empress Cai's heart jumped suddenly, and her face twitched a few times.

Is this something to laugh at?

The emperor said: "Does the queen know what the prince did last night?" ”

Empress Cai gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "The East Palace was haunted last night, Pan Fengyi was a thief and took the initiative to admit that he was the murderer of his sister, and the prince was angry and disappointed, and killed Pan Fengyi on the spot. Who would have expected that a palace maid would lie at this time that Pan Fengyi already had the prince's flesh and blood, and the prince had been looking forward to giving birth to the eldest grandson for the emperor, so this matter was difficult for the prince to accept, resulting in madness...... The emperor, the concubine thinks that there must be something wrong with the palace maid. ”

"Maybe it was the remnants of the previous dynasty or someone who planted it next to the prince, and when he saw what happened last night, he took the opportunity to murder the prince...... So, please let the emperor know it! ”

"Oh." The emperor nodded, poured some water on the sword, and continued to grind," the queen continued. ”

The sound of sharpening the sword was not loud, but it felt extremely harsh in Queen Cai's ears, which made her more and more irritable.

She clenched the hem of her skirt tightly, and then temporarily pressed a murderous aura in her heart, "Although the concubine's words have the intention of exculpating the prince, what she said is also the truth. At this time, there are many rumors, and it is even more necessary to clarify the facts and not let people with intentions take advantage of them.

And the prince fell in love with Pan Niangzi when he was young, and the emperor also knew about it, and in the face of the truth and was stimulated, he accepted incompetence for a while, so he went to Pingkangfang, the former residence of Pan Niangzi to vent. It is also an indisputable fact that some people have been inadvertently hurt along the way...... Even, after that, it sparked discussions, making many people disappointed and dissatisfied with the prince, these are all facts, and they are the reasons why the prince deserves to be severely punished.

"As the crown prince, he should be calm and steady, and he should set an example in front of all the royal family, clans, courtiers, and people, and should not be affected by feelings, to be honest, the concubine is also extremely disappointed in his actions."

Empress Cai kowtowed again.

"So, the concubine begged the emperor to punish the prince severely!"

The emperor struck the blade of the sword a few times with a small hammer, then looked at it in the sunlight and asked, "How does the queen think the crown prince should be punished severely?" Ah, in the court today, some people even suggested that the crown prince should be abolished......"

He glanced at the queen and saw that her body trembled violently, and the string of beads hanging from the phoenix hairpin swayed several times.

"The queen's phoenix hairpin, I haven't worn it for a long time......"

Empress Cai took off the phoenix hairpin from her hair bun and said bitterly: "When the concubine looked at this phoenix hairpin, she thought that she was ashamed of the emperor's kindness and did not raise the prince well...... Is it a shame to the emperor! ”

"Okay, let's talk about it first, how do you think it's better to punish the prince severely?" The emperor waved his hand and continued to sharpen his sword.

"Boom", the sound of grinding the sword echoed in Queen Cai's mind, and she couldn't help but pull the corners of her skirt tighter.

As a last resort, she can't do anything to the emperor.

Moreover, there are a large number of masters lurking in the Liangyi Palace, and she can't attack the emperor so clearly.

Empress Cai said: "The concubine thinks that the prince should be grounded, is it time...... Half a year is not appropriate. Half a year is enough time for the outside world to forget about this matter, or to divert everyone's attention with a bigger dispute, and no longer talk about the "ugly thing" of the prince, "During the lockdown period, let the prince follow the famous teacher to study and be a man from scratch." ”

The emperor struck the blade of the sword with a small hammer and asked, "Xue Shen, the son of the Duke of Weiguo, made a small mistake and was driven back to the capital to think about it." Do you know how Old Madam Xue punished her eldest grandson? ”

Empress Cai shook her head, "The concubine doesn't know ......"

The emperor said: "Old Madam Xue asked the dignified Young Master Xue to follow the servants in the palace to do menial chores, eat and live with the lowest servants, and repent in this way. And the crown prince ......"

Empress Cai was shocked, is the emperor saying that the punishment given to the crown prince is too light?

Is it true that you want to abolish the crown prince, reduce the prince to a lowly slave, and do hard work to reform yourself?

"Your Majesty......" How could she let the prince be so low, and begged: "Your Majesty, Jue'er is the prince after all, how can she be compared with the courtier's family." ”

"The Empress forgot what I said so quickly?"

The emperor's tone was obviously displeased.

Empress Cai's body was stiff, "the concubine was dull and ......"

"Looking at it this way, it's really dull, I really want to think about whether the owner of this Fengyi Palace should be replaced by Concubine De."

"......" Queen Cai's heart sank, and the fingers holding the phoenix hairpin turned white, and the green tendons were prominent.
