"Son! Have you felt better these two days? The Queen Mother looked at the emperor lying on the dragon couch, her face full of love.

"It's already much better, and today I said that I would let Pang Chu bring the fold to me for review. I haven't been to court for several days, and I don't show up again, I'm afraid that those courtiers will be suspicious again. ”

The emperor sighed, although the toxicity was temporarily suppressed, he obviously felt that his body was much worse than before, and his energy was far less vigorous than before.

"Those cheap minions have already been cleaned up in the palace, too much time has passed, and it is not easy to investigate the poisoning. However, the poisoner must be found, otherwise they can harm you once, or they can harm you a second time. ”

When the Queen Mother talked about this, she hated it so much. If you follow her intentions, find any reason and eradicate those things that are in the way of the eyes one by one, so that you don't have to worry all day long, and you have to watch out for this and that.

Since ancient times, the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was the time of reckoning.

"Son, the queen mother knows that you have a good heart. But you have to remember that there are some people, no matter how soft you are to him, he will not appreciate it. As soon as he gets the chance, he will pounce on you and bite you. ”

The Queen Mother patted the back of the emperor's hand, looked at the emperor's eyes full of worry, and then persuaded: "Son! It's time to keep them anymore. ”

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, haven't you seen it yet?" It's late, it's late! ”

Then the emperor leaned his head on the pillow, he closed his eyes slightly, in fact, he also regretted not doing it at the beginning. What is face? Why did he care so much before?

If his father asked him about his treatment of the third child, he didn't care about his face and let the third child disappear from this world, he would not be so passive now.

If he hadn't shown mercy to his other brothers and eradicated them one by one, how could he be threatened by "Loomy" now?

"How late? As long as you can be ruthless, can they escape the palm of your hand? You are the emperor, the lord of the world, who else in this world can honor you? Son, the queen mother believes in you! ”

The Queen Mother touched the emperor's black hair distressedly, her son is a sister-in-law, and she should be the best candidate for the crown prince. But who told her not to be liked by the emperor? It's been a lot of life.

"Queen Mother, now that they are full-fledged, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with them. Maybe as soon as they are persecuted, they will be like Zhao Xian, and they will completely tear their faces with me. When they deal with me together, how will I deal with it? This matter cannot be rushed, and can only be taken one step at a time. ”

The emperor sighed, he only felt very tired at the moment.

"But the current situation does not allow you to take it step by step, son! Zhao Xian has already begun to capture the city at the border, if we don't do it again and let Zhao Xian continue, what should we do if we can't control him? ”

The Queen Mother was so anxious that she grabbed the emperor's hand, Zhao Xian was in great trouble, if she didn't eradicate Zhao Xian before she had fully grown up, it might be too late.

"So my holy decree is to deal with Zhao Xian. Now looking at the court, in addition to the ambitious ones, there may be only him who can deal with Zhao Xian, right? Mother, I hope you will put aside your prejudices against him, because now we can only count on him. I can't trust anyone else, but I can only trust him. ”

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother with pleading eyes, he didn't want to push Gu Chengyu further and further because of the Queen Mother's prejudice against Gu Chengyu.

In the past few days, he has been unwell and has been lingering on the sickbed, so that he has time to think about his future plans.

He reflected on his previous attitude towards Gu Chengyu, and suddenly found that Gu Chengyu's attitude towards him was a little unclear. Let's take Gu Chengyu's performance when his father was alive, and now Gu Chengyu's attitude is far less positive than before.

At that time, his father supported Gu Chengyu, although he wanted to fight against Xia Qing. But the father never doubted Gu Chengyu's ability, and after sending an errand, he gave Gu Chengyu absolute trust.

Therefore, compared with his father, he is still far behind in terms of dominating talents.

Gu Chengyu's indifference to him should be because of his distrust of him. Perhaps he often listened to the slander of other people in the DPRK before, which made Gu Chengyu estranged himself.

He really broke out in a cold sweat now that he thought about it, he was so indifferent to Gu Chengyu before, but he knew that the fourth child definitely valued Gu Chengyu. If they privately recruited Gu Chengyu and Gu Chengyu formed an alliance with them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she said, "Son, Gu Chengyu is indeed a capable person. But Bengong sees that he is young, but he is scheming, and it is really difficult to control. How do you know that he will not betray you? Bengong can see that he is clear and sunny on the surface, but in his heart he attaches great importance to power. ”

The Queen Mother's impression of Gu Chengyu is really not very good, she always feels that this young man is too heavy-minded, and she is afraid that she will not be able to control him.

"Mother, do we have any other choice now? Looking at the DPRK, who else can compare to him? He is a man of affection and righteousness, as long as you treat each other sincerely, he will not fail you. Maybe he is not the kind of defender who only pays attention to supporting justice, but he is definitely a loyal person who will stick a knife in the ribs for those who care. He chose me in the first place, and as long as I didn't go too far, he wouldn't change his mind easily. ”

This is the conclusion he has come to after a few days of hard reflection and meditation.

"Son! The queen mother knows that you are difficult, if your father ......" The queen mother picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, she just felt sorry for her son.

"Queen Mother, you often say that your father is a person with a decisive personality, but your sons are like you, easy to be soft-hearted and often indecisive. But Erchen felt that the temperament of his father and son-in-law actually had many similarities. Isn't my father indecisive? If it weren't for his indecisiveness and giving us princes hope, how could the court be in the current situation? ”

Speaking of this, the emperor still complained a little. The death of his father left a big mess.

"Your father did this because he couldn't forget that slut?" Speaking of the first emperor, the queen mother's emotions became excited.

"Why do you think your father didn't choose the crown prince for a long time? Isn't it because the slut's son has fetal poison in his body? He has been waiting for so many years, just waiting for the fourth child to recover. It's a pity that the fourth child is not angry with his own body, and your father is thinking about it in vain. Over the years, the precious medicinal materials and rare treasures in the palace, how much did he send to the fourth child? ”

The emperor looked at the queen mother with a hideous face, and was speechless for a while.

It seems that the queen mother is still haunted by the events of the year, perhaps the woman has always been a wound in the queen mother's heart, and she will bleed when she pokes it, and it will never heal.

He had seen that woman when he was a child, and although his face was blurred now, he still remembered that it was a gentle and beautiful woman.
