"As soon as Wang Hao goes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position will be stabilized. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "East Palace, Zheng Juzhong's face showed a smug look, his white beard trembled, and this time getting rid of Wang Huang was his most proud stroke.

Zhao Huan also nodded again and again, he knew that there were many people in the court who looked down on him, such as Yang Jian, such as Wang Hao, this Wang Huang was really excessive, and often advocated the removal of the prince, and the other king Zhao Kai was appointed as the prince, this time he finally suffered a big loss, but he thought of Liang Shicheng again, and sighed: "It's a pity for Taifu, in fact, Taifu still takes care of the widow." "Who is good to himself and who is bad to himself over the years, Zhao Huan can see it clearly, if it weren't for Liang Shicheng, I'm afraid that his position as the prince would have been replaced by Zhao Ji a long time ago, after all, Yang Jian also took a fancy to Zhao Kai.

Zheng Juzhong's brows furrowed inadvertently, as the crown prince, as the next emperor, Zheng Juzhong likes Zhao Huan very much to be a gentleman and a villain. Liang Shicheng may have helped Zhao Huan on some issues, but his identity as a traitor cannot be changed, and as a prince, he should not be close to this kind of person. Zheng Juzhong swept the other side, and quickly left a little thought in his heart behind.

Zheng Guanyin personally walked over with a bowl of fragrant tea, she held her stomach, and her appearance was very hard, which made people look pity. Zheng Juzhong glanced at the other party, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at a young man below. His name is Zheng Wangzhi, a native of Pengcheng, who has been a jinshi in Chongning for five years, and is now a household Cao in the household department.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is virtuous, the mother is pregnant with a prince, and the heirs are extended, which can maintain the country for thousands of years." Zheng Wangzhi touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Lord Zheng laughed, even if this palace gave birth to a boy, the future prince is not this child of this palace." Zheng Guanyin said with a smile: "This palace only hopes that after the fetus in the womb grows up, it can serve His Highness." ”

Zheng Juzhong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, his face was solemn, but he didn't speak, Zhao Huan saw it clearly, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "The boss seems to have something on his mind?" ”

"This? The old minister has a sentence in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but say, but the cold light flashing in his eyes showed that he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

"Zheng Qing said with a smile, this palace can be today, Zheng Qing has made a lot of contributions, what can't be said." Zhao Huan said indifferently. After Wang Hao fell, it meant that Zhao Kai was missing a huge help, this would be Zhao Huan's opportunity, how could Zhao Huan give up easily, for Zheng Juzhong, who contributed a lot, Zhao Huan was still very moved.

"Your Highness, do you think your crown prince position has really stabilized? The old minister thinks that it is not. Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but say: "Your Highness knows that Emperor Suzong of the previous dynasty, he has been the crown prince for no less time than His Royal Highness, and I don't know how many dangers he has experienced, Emperor Xuanzong's suspicion makes Emperor Suzong panic all day long, and even the crown princess has been abolished." ”

Zhao Huan was stunned at first, and soon his face turned red, and he looked at Zheng Juzhong, he thought that Zheng Juzhong was just saying that Emperor Tang Ming was suspicious of his son, but in the end he knew that Zheng Juzhong was talking about Concubine Wei, when Li Linfu framed the prince and Wei Jian for conspiring to rebel, Emperor Xuanzong executed Wei Jian, and Suzong drove Concubine Wei out of the East Palace in order to keep his position as prince.

"Your Highness, isn't that what it is now?" Zheng Juzhong's face was calm, and he said: "Li Jing's rebellion is huge, he and His Royal Highness are brothers-in-law, do you say that the official family has other ideas now, after all, Li Jing's rebellion is different from other rebellions, he just called the king, and even entered Guanzhong, but only in the name of Hehuang to solicit envoys, there is no obvious break with the Great Song Dynasty, what do you say the official family will think in their hearts, is it that Li Jing decided to support the crown prince to ascend the throne?" ”

"Don't say it." After Zhao Huan listened, his face was gloomy, and his lips trembled, which explained what he was thinking at the moment, Zhu Lian, the thorn hidden in his heart, was once again pulled out by Zheng Juzhong, and at this time he found that it was so painful, he couldn't forget that when the East Palace was stormy, it was Zhu Lian who stepped forward to protect his interests. But now, I want to abandon her. When did it all start? Zhao Huan couldn't remember it anymore, maybe it started when Zheng Guanyin entered the palace, or when other women entered the East Palace.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister also heard outside that the crown princess has a close relationship with Li Jing." Zheng Wangzhi glanced at Zhao Huan cautiously, and said in a low voice: "The minister thinks that it is groundless, and it may not be without a reason!" ”

"Hmph, do you want to kill the Zhu family in this palace like this? She is now confined in the cold palace. Zhao Huan's face was hideous, he looked at everyone, and said gloomily: "Could it be that you want the Zheng family to be on top like this?" ”

"Hey, since His Highness thinks so, the old minister can't say anything. After all, there are some things that are just at the mercy of God. Regardless of whether Li Jing and the Zhu family have a personal relationship, and whether the officials will notice this, the old ministers and others are willing to protect the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace. After Zheng Juzhong heard this, he let out a long sigh, and a trace of disappointment flashed on his old face. looks very innocent, but the words are extremely vicious, Zheng Wangzhi is only Li Jing and Zhu Lian have a close relationship, and when Zheng Juzhong, an old thing, directly said that the two had a personal relationship, and his mind was vicious.

Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, and he was speechless, in fact, he had also heard of the private affair between Li Jing and Zhu Lian, and with the opening of his son's eyebrows, he had some feelings in this regard, at this time, being opened by Zheng Juzhong and others was like tearing open his wound that had not healed again, and the bloody wound was bloody.

"This palace knows about this." Zhao Huan sighed and finally said. He slowly closed his eyes, he thought that this matter would end with Zhu Lian being relegated to the cold palace. But now it's different, with the rise of Li Jing, I'm afraid that there will be people in the DPRK and China who will make waves.

"And the kid." Zheng Juzhong's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "As long as you can attack Your Highness, you must eliminate it, so as not to affect Your Highness at a critical time." ”

"Then send someone to do it!" After Zhao Huan listened, his eyes were slightly closed, and he tried his best to discard the impression that Zhu Lian had in his mind, his face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly. While thinking of Zhu Lian, it seemed that he thought of Zhu Lian and Li Jing's appearance of the upside down, which made the murderous intent in Zhao Huan's heart intensify, and he snorted coldly and said: "This palace will go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pray for peace in the world." Zhao Huan finally made up his mind, no matter what the truth of the matter is, Li Jing has rebelled, and he can't have anything to do with him, and for the sake of the crown prince, he will kill his wife and children.

Qingyou Pavilion, a dilapidated small building, is an unknown building in the huge complex of the East Palace, although it is within the East Palace, but in fact it is an independent existence outside the East Palace.

In the small building, Zhu Lian is wearing a cyan robe, the robe has faded, but when worn on Zhu Lian's body, he does not have any down-and-out appearance, but makes his body appear more beautiful, there is no man here, not even a superfluous palace maid, and only the maid Xiaohe who married her back then is with Zhu Lian, and only the existence of Xiaohe can make Zhu Lian's life here a little easier.

Zhu Lian sat in front of the statue of Laojun, reciting the Tao Te Ching in his mouth, and there was no decoration on the face of the hibiscus, but there was a little more dusty appearance, which was completely different from the original dress in the East Palace.

Zhu Lian's heart is full of ancient wells, although it is not as noble as the original, but in this place, eating green vegetables and tofu makes her heart more quiet, the whole person seems to have washed the lead flower, very peaceful, the only thing that reassures her is probably her son.

"Smack!" A soft sound woke Zhu Lian from the chanting, his eyes widened, and he looked at the ground in the distance, the gold brick was arched, revealing a black head, Zhu Lian quickly regained his calm after being surprised, and his eyes flashed with a trace of indifference. I don't know why, at this time, a heroic-looking young man appeared in Zhu Lian's mind.

"You're here to kill me?" Zhu Lian looked at the black-clothed man in front of him, his face was covered with a black veil, only a pair of eyes were exposed, shining, and he didn't know who the other party's appearance was, and the fierce light in his eyes showed that the other party was afraid of killing countless people.

"King Tang drove the secret guard Qiao Yun to see Niangniang, and the villain was ordered by the king to ask Mrs. and the little prince to return to Taiyuan." The visitor glanced at Zhu Lian, bowed to the ground, and took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, Zhu Lian saw the word "dark" in the middle of the jade pendant, and immediately knew that this was the famous secret guard under Li Jing.

"Did he ask you to come?" Zhu Lian was excited in his heart, but he still asked coldly on his face.

"The prince of the Song family, who is waiting for the villain, is going to come to Qingyou Pavilion tomorrow, bring a glass of poisoned wine to his wife, and execute the little prince, and the brother of the secret guard will contact the villain, Xiao'er has decided to do it tonight, please prepare for Mrs. first." Brother Qiao Yun hurriedly said: "The king actually wanted to invite his wife to Taiyuan for a long time, and when he left Bianjing, he asked people to dig a secret passage, and he only dug up his wife in the last few days. ”

"What? He, he's so ruthless! After Zhu Lian heard this, his face suddenly changed color, and the rosary in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but say: "I won't even let go of a child." ”

"Madam, our people have already gone to pick up the little prince, and when the arson is set tomorrow, our people will leave Bianjing with the little prince, so please also ask Madame to come with us." Brother Qiao Yun said in a low voice.

"Let's go? Where can I go? Going to Taiyuan? I'm afraid that if we walk on the front foot, someone will know about the back foot. Will your king be able to live in peace? Zhu Lian said sadly.

"Madame, don't worry, as long as Madame leaves here, we naturally have a way to make Zhao Huan not guess in a short time, they will just think that Madame has been burned to death." Brother Qiao Yun said proudly: "We have found three corpses of similar stature, as long as we change into the clothes and accessories of Madame, Little Prince and Little Lotus Girl." Those stupid guys can't guess. At least not in the short term. ”

"You have a heart." Zhu Lian didn't ask about the origin of the three corpses, believing that even if she asked, Brother Qiao Yun would give other answers, she took a breath and said, "What is the situation outside now?" Has your king already hit Bianjing? Otherwise, Zhao Huan wouldn't have killed me. ”

"Madame said with a smile, how can the king of my family be loyal to the country and hit Bianjing, it is really that the prince's position has been stabilized, and the existence of Madame has become an obstacle to the prince's access to imperial power." Brother Qiao Yun hurriedly explained the situation in Chaozhong.

"I didn't expect that you, a secret guard, actually knew the situation in the DPRK and was good at inferring?" Zhu Lian looked at Brother Qiao Yun deeply, but he didn't expect Brother Qiao Yun to have such an opinion.

"This is not what the subordinates came up with, but Zheng Juzhong himself said, the subordinates just repeated, by the way, although it is a cold palace, but the subordinates do not dare to stay here for a long time, and the subordinates will come to greet Mrs. tomorrow." Brother Qiao Yun said with a smile.

"The secret guard is really powerful, even Zheng Juzhong's house has been monitored, Zheng Juzhong's speech can be repeated, how many secrets of the Great Song Dynasty are unknown to them." Zhu Lian sighed leisurely, looking at the heavy palaces in the distance, his face showed a hint of complexity, after tomorrow, he will get out of this cage and go to Taiyuan, but when he arrives at that place, what will it look like? Is it a new cage, I'm afraid that the crown princess can just start again.

Early the next morning, the crown prince Zhao Huan led a large group of people and horses out of the East Palace, but just after leaving the palace, a sky-high flame was ignited behind him, and the Qingyou Pavilion and the Tingyin Pavilion where Zhao Chen lived were in flames.

"Why is it on fire?" Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, and he said to the eunuchs beside him: "Isn't it poisonous wine?" How could it be a fire? "This poisonous wine and fire are two different concepts, even if the world knows that they have poisoned Zhu Lian, they will not say anything, but if Zhu Lian is burned to death, it will be full of storms in the city.

"Slave, slave doesn't know?" The waiter said bitterly.

"What are you doing in a daze, quick, go back to put out the fire?" Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, knowing that this was definitely not the time for him to leave the East Palace, thinking of this, his complexion became even worse, and he hurriedly commanded everyone to put out the fire.

It's a pity that the fire is raging, even if it is too late to rescue, when Zhao Huan felt that the Tingyin Pavilion, the fire had already burned the Tingyin Pavilion to a mess, where could he still put out the fire, as for the Qingyou Pavilion Zhao Huan did not go to the rescue at all, and no one dared to go.

Half an hour later, the chamberlain carefully reported the scene after the fire, Zhao Huan quickly got the answer he wanted, but he didn't have any happy look in his heart, he had already guessed what kind of reputation he would bear after this incident.

Of course, what he didn't know was that at this moment, the two Zhu Xiaosun brothers outside the city and their families disappeared into a huge caravan and headed west, and he didn't know that in this caravan, Zhu Lian was holding Zhao Chen and walking slowly in a carriage.
