The east hall of Juxian was silent, this time the prince did not let anyone accompany him, but ordered to wait outside, including Liuli, the square before the hall was built smoothly, like a huge jade mirror, the road was also wide and neat, the prince's wheelchair had a mechanism, and it did not take much effort to get to the door of the east hall of Juxian.

The emperor did not summon him, but as the crown prince, it was natural for him to ask to see the empress and ask the empress for peace.

Although the palace around the emperor has been replaced, the palace people around the queen have not been replaced, and there are more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids who serve the queen up and down in the east hall of the immortals, as the mother of the Great Qin Empire, there are only more than 20 people, which is really not much.

The prince came to the door of the east hall, and ordered the eunuch who was guarding the palace outside the door to go in and pass the ceremony, the eunuch obviously did not expect the prince to come to Hexi, and hurriedly entered the palace to report, the prince sat quietly in a wheelchair, looked up at the bright moon that had risen in the sky, and looked full of worries.

didn't wait too long, the eunuch came out and replied, "Your Highness, the queen mother...... The queen said that the phoenix was unwell, and it was not appropriate to see ...... at this time! ”

The prince's face sank, but he said coldly: "Push me into the hall!" ”

"Your Highness......!"

The prince's eyes were like ice, staring at the eunuch, "The order of this palace, do you dare to disobey?" ”

The eunuch was in a dilemma, and the prince had already roared in a deep voice: "I can't come yet." ”

The eunuch shuddered, but he didn't dare to disobey, stepped forward, pushed the prince's wheelchair to the front of the palace from the flat ladder, saw the prince looked at him coldly, and hurriedly ordered the two to come and carry the prince's wheelchair into the main hall, and when he entered the palace, the prince said lightly: "Push me to the queen." ”

"Your Highness......!" The eunuch was embarrassed: "The will of the queen mother ......!" ”

The light flashed, and the prince actually had an extra dagger in his hand, and looked at the eunuch coldly, "If you say one more word, this palace will cut your throat now." “

The eunuch was a shudder, where did he dare to disobey, he pushed the wheelchair hard, shuttled in the deserted palace, and after a while, he came to a finely carved gate, the gate was closed, but there were two palace maids standing in front of the door, and the eunuch whispered: "Your Highness, the queen mother is resting inside......!" ”

The prince bowed his head slightly and waved his hand: "You all stand down!" ”

The eunuch hesitated, didn't dare to say more, beckoned to the two palace maids, and several people hurriedly retreated, the prince started the mechanism, and the wheelchair went straight to the door, the prince stretched out his hand and pushed the door, the door was not closed tightly, rattling, slowly opened, and the prince rolled the wheel himself and entered the house.

The room was exquisite and luxurious, and after the prince entered, he smelled a smell of sandalwood.

He rolled his wheelchair, slowly passed, bypassed a screen, behind the screen was a vermilion wooden arch, and a light gauze curtain hung on the door, and when he arrived at the door, the prince groaned slightly, and was about to go in, but heard an indifferent voice from inside: "Without the command of the palace, why do you dare to trespass on the palace gate?" ”

The prince suddenly stopped the wheelchair and hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "The queen mother has always been good?" ”

"Hongu is fine." The queen's voice came from inside the house, without any emotion, and it sounded very cold: "The Holy Lord ordered you to guard the capital, why did you come to Hexi?" ”

"The capital has fallen." The crown prince hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "I came to Hexi to meet my father, gather soldiers and horses from the north, and go south to recover Kyoto." ”

"Where is Yingren now?" The queen asked.

The prince's face immediately showed coldness, and he said lightly: "The capital is in turmoil, the soldiers are in chaos, there are too many people who don't know their whereabouts, I don't know where he is now, whether he is alive or dead." ”

"You're ......!" The queen's voice was finally full of anger: "You are in the capital, didn't you watch him?" ”

"Look at him?" The prince sneered: "I'm afraid the queen mother has forgotten jì, my father ordered him to stay in the capital and assist the country, he is already an adult, no longer a child, even if I want to watch him, the queen mother thinks he will listen to me?" ”

A figure appeared behind the light veil, inside and outside the arch, two light veils hung down, and although the prince could vaguely see the outline of the queen, he could not see the face clearly.

"You're his brother." The queen's voice was obviously full of worry: "You know that he has been growing up in the deep palace, he has no scheming, the capital is turbulent, and you, as an elder brother, should have paid attention to his safety." ”

The prince said with a smile: "The queen mother has forgotten jì, when I was as old as him, I had already fought in the north and south, and I was born and died, and I don't know how many trials I have experienced...... Since Yingren is a descendant of the Ying family, he has to bear the blessings and misfortunes himself. ”

The queen said angrily, "Why do you treat him like this? ”

"What does the Queen Mother want me to do to him?" The prince's face sank, and he said coldly: "Do you want to stay by his side day and night, I will give him whatever he wants, and I will give him everything in the wind and rain?" My father has always done this, almost twenty years, and since Yingren was born, his father has been sheltering him from the wind and rain...... He is the son of his father, and his father shelters him from the wind and rain, I have nothing to say, but why should I shelter him from the wind and rain, my own head is full of wind and rain, and I can only shelter myself from the wind and rain. ”

The queen raised her hand to caress her chest, her body shook slightly, the prince's face changed suddenly, and she lost her voice: "You...... What happened to you? She was about to rush in, but the queen had already said sharply: "Don't come in!" ”

The queen's voice was so resolute that the prince was stunned for a moment, but he didn't continue to go inside after all.

After a while, the queen's somewhat helpless voice came out from inside: "Prince, how is Yingren now?" You...... Even if you don't care about anything else, you should always estimate a mother's feelings. ”

The corners of the prince's eyes twitched, and after a long time, he finally said: "Don't worry, he is not dead, he is still alive." ”

When the queen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it were me, would you be so worried?" The prince was silent for a moment and finally asked, "Do you already know the news of the fall of the capital?" ”

The queen said: "I only heard the news a few days ago. ”

"Knowing that the capital has fallen, I know you must be very worried about Yingren." The crown prince stared at the figure behind the light veil: "Has the queen mother ever worried about me?" ”

The queen sighed: "The crown prince is safe and sound now, and there is no need for anyone to worry about it anymore." ”

The prince raised his eyebrows, "In this way, you really worried about me behind the scenes?" ”

"You are the prince of Great Qin." The queen said slowly: "The capital has fallen, there are many people who are worried about you, and the people who know the news here are praying for the prince, and the prince is safe and sound now, I think everyone is very happy." ”

The crown prince let out a strange laugh: "Everyone is worried about me? Do you think I care if others worry about me? ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, the queen was heard whispering: "This palace is tired, prince...... It's time to rest. ”

"How long have we not seen each other?" The prince put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and held the chair handle tightly, "Ten years...... Or fifteen years...... I can't remember. ”

The queen did not speak, and the room was dead silent.

"Father, the emperor is on a northern tour, and I have been worried since the day you left Beijing." The prince said slowly: "You are a southerner, Hexi is located in the northern Xinjiang, and the climate here is not suitable for southerners......!" ”

The queen finally said: "Prince Lao is bothered." ”

The queen's voice was lukewarm, very indifferent, and she didn't seem interested in continuing, the prince closed his eyes, his face twitched slightly, and after a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "Has the queen mother been resenting me in her heart?" ”

The queen's voice suddenly became cold: "The prince shut up." ”

The crown prince frowned, and the queen had already said coldly: "The prince has already asked for peace, what should be said has been said, and what should not be said has been said...... Hongu didn't want to hear it anymore. ”

"I know you must still be resentful of me." The prince sighed: "Eighteen years......! ”

"Someone's ......!" The queen let out a sharp scream, and there was immediately a sound of footsteps outside, and several eunuchs and palace maids had quickly entered the house, and they all knelt on the ground, "The queen mother......!" ”

The prince's expression was complicated, he closed his eyes, he clenched the chair handle with both hands, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

"The prince is tired, you send him out." The queen said coldly: "You remember, in the future, without the consent of the palace, no one is allowed to enter the palace, and if anyone disobeys, the palace will never spare it." ”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and turned to the crown prince and begged: "Your Highness, please leave the palace!" ”

The prince took a deep breath and finally said, "Take care of the queen mother." After turning the wheelchair and hesitating for a moment, he finally activated the mechanism and went out on his own, several palace maids wanted to go behind the light veil, and the queen had already said coldly: "You all retreat, no one can come in and disturb without the instructions of the palace." ”

How dare everyone disobey, they launched one after another, and then closed the door of the house, and the two eunuchs followed the prince and went out of the east hall, a eunuch stepped forward to help the prince push the wheelchair, and the prince shook his head and said: "Go back and take good care of the queen." ”

The eunuch said yes, the prince just went down the ladder and arrived at the square, where Liuli and Zhao Quan were already waiting, seeing the prince coming, Liuli immediately greeted him, under the moonlight, seeing the prince's gloomy expression, it was not good to say anything, but Zhao Quan couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, you ......!" ”

The crown prince frowned, and Liuli said softly: "Your Highness, you ...... Your eyes are red......! ”

The prince smiled reluctantly: "When I met the queen mother just now, I was swept into the eyes by the veil, and it was no big deal. He instructed: "Go to Wuping Mansion first, and the palace should meet Yuan Chongshang first." ”

The prince arrived in Hexi, but Chu Huan didn't know the news, in the past two days, he had clearly felt that the number of people in the post house had increased, and he knew very well that it was the eyes and ears sent by Feng Yuanpo.

Chu Huan knew that since his whereabouts had been discovered by Feng Yuanpo, of course Feng Yuanpo would not let himself out of his control, although he reached an agreement with Feng Yuanpo and the snake, but he knew very well in his heart that his situation was already very dangerous, and this trip to Hexi, if he wanted to get out of his body, I am afraid it was not a simple matter.
