The next day, after the morning pilgrimage.

Zhan Changfeng rarely rested, and did not go to Jinglun Hall with the old emperor.

The high walls on both sides split a line of sky, and the corridor is lengthy as if there is no beginning or end.

Two soft sedan cars are facing each other.

Zhan Changfeng rubbed the ink jade wrench on his thumb, his eyes drooped slightly, "stop".

As soon as it stopped here, it had to stop at the other end.

"Your Highness, it's Madame's palanquin. ”

"Lone knows. ”

Zhan Changfeng stepped down from the sedan chair, and the white snow fell from the sky, attached to the golden crown of dragon claws, and attached to the thin shoulders.

A piece of eyelashes attached to the crow's feathers, almost like water.

The son greets his mother. ”

There was no answer for a long time behind the curtain, and finally there was a faint "um".

Zhan Changfeng seemed to be just to greet him, and when he got the answer, he stepped aside, letting Li Yunqiu's soft sedan pass first.

"Your Highness," the steward held out an umbrella for her, "let's go back." ”

Zhan Changfeng looked at this high wall and deep alley, and the dark light in his eyes was floating and floating, "Lone grew up here, but I haven't known it carefully." ”

"Let's go, accompany Gu to see this palace. ”

She didn't sit in a soft sedan chair, walked in the wind and snow, passed through the attic palace, passed by the water pavilion, and lingered, "It's probably because my kinship is thin." ”

"......" the chief steward's heart jumped, "Your Highness, don't be presumptuous, the person Your Majesty and Madame care about the most is you." ”

Jinglun Palace

Li Yunqiu knelt on the ground, "That's the thing, concealing the existence of Chonghua, changing Zhan's identity, and deceiving Your Majesty are all my masterminds, but with Your Majesty's punishment, I also ask Your Majesty to correct your mistakes and let the two of them return to their respective places." ”

The old emperor looked unpredictable and was speechless for a long time.

"Who else knows about this?"

Li Yunqiu didn't dare to hide it and answered truthfully.

"Only the concubines and Wang Liang (the chief). ”

"To each his place," the old emperor closed his eyes, and his voice was unusually dry, like a knife cutting through an iron vessel, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chonghua's body was too weak before, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live for a long time, but fortunately, God had mercy on him and made him safe. ”

"Then let you say, what should Zhan'er do. The old emperor's voice was heavy, and he knocked in the empty hall word by word, "The body is weak, is it a reason for you to conceal it, since he is weak, why don't you let him be weak!"

Li Yunqiu was stunned, for one year, two years and three years, every time she could know from Li Mao's mouth, how this son who was raised outside was wandering around the ghost gate, she was already guilty of her son, how could she let him get involved in the court struggle again, she just wanted him to live a little longer and be smoother.

On the other hand, as Zhan Changfeng grew up, she was afraid that her identity as a woman would not be hidden, that she would not be able to pass on the ancestry, that she would live a miserable life, and that she would stand tall and fall hard.

However, with Li Chonghua's recovery, all this was solved.

"Chonghua is the only male member of the Yi family after all, and it is his responsibility and obligation to share your worries for you. Li Yunqiu paused, hoping and pleading, "If you can, I hope Your Majesty can restore Zhan's status as a daughter, and the concubine only wishes her to find a lover and live a happy life." ”

The red plum cries blood, the white flower is pure, Zhan Changfeng breaks off two branches, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and he smiles frankly and coldly, "It is always said that this palace has buried many people's years and trapped many sentient hearts, but for Lonely, it is Lone's luck, and it is the pedestal of Lone's eyes on the world, which makes Lone stand on the commanding heights from the beginning, and it is closer to the truth." ”

"Lone can stand at the top of this civilization, clearly look at the historical trend, the ups and downs of the times, but also feel more and more insignificant. ”

Zhan Changfeng had bright starlight in his eyes, firm and stubborn, "It's not enough, Wang Liang, it's not enough, it's more than that, it's more." ”

The boss didn't understand her ambitions, but he sincerely believed that only the most beautiful things, the strongest authority, and the most powerful swords were worthy of her.

But Zhan Changfeng's next words shocked the old manager.

"My mother thought that telling my grandfather my true gender would help Li Chonghua get back the crown prince. "Laughter spilled low from her chest to her throat," she knew nothing about power. ”

The old manager was so frightened that he knelt on the gravel road, his knees soaked in the cold and he had no time to care, "Has Your Highness misunderstood anything, how could Li Gongzi and him compete with you for the position of prince." ”

"You are faithful, and you still protect her. Zhan Changfeng played with the red and white plum blossoms in his hand and sighed quietly, "I won't hurt her, she is my mother." ”

Half of the people in this palace are hers, if she really wants to stop her, Li Yunqiu will not be able to reach the Jinglun Palace.

However, it is good to let the imperial grandfather know the truth, so that she can find an excuse to deceive in the future.

The old manager trembled, looking at her expression, that trace of happiness was not fake, it was clearly enough to destroy the future, but it seemed to let her break free from some kind of restraint, and even the depressed color that was suppressed from time to time was gone.

One servant does not serve the two masters, the boss was originally Li Yunqiu's person, and even now he will help her do something, which is a big taboo.

However, he waited for a while, and didn't hear that Zhan Changfeng wanted to punish him, so he stood up tremblingly, bowed down and followed her, not daring to say a word.

The days are so ordinary that there are no waves, and the only change is that Li Yunqiu is secretly under house arrest, and Li Chonghua is nowhere to be seen.

When Zhan Changfeng took the note from the manager's hand, the manager kowtowed to the ground with red eyes, "The old slave begs you to go and see Madame." ”

With a wave of his hand, the note was twisted into crumbs by the internal force, "Shangyi Prison is short of people, you can go." ”

The old manager fell to the ground and wept, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The door of Yongxiu Palace was locked and closed, and only the guards were seen, not the attendants.

"Open. ”

The dormitory was dim, like the residence of an old man in the twilight, and the smell of twilight was very strong.

The lady with exquisite makeup sat on the couch, as if she was no different from usual, but her body was much lighter.

"What kind of means did you use, and what happened to Chonghua. It wasn't a question, but the cold resistance on his face seemed to be looking at the enemy.

If an ordinary child is treated like this by his biological mother, he should have doubted his life and felt painful.

But fortunately, Zhan Changfeng is in the emperor's family, and the last thing the emperor's family needs is superfluous and meaningless feelings.

Zhan Changfeng stood with his hands down, "You should ask the emperor's grandfather about this." ”

"Do you need me to give you an analysis, Mother? She looked at her from a distance and said indifferently, "Yi Zhan is the crown prince and the future emperor, which is an indisputable fact in the hearts of the ministers and the people, and said unceremoniously, when the emperor's grandfather first held me to the court, I was already a symbol of the Yin Dynasty, and I was about to pull me down and replace it with an imperial grandson who came out of nowhere. ”

"It's a time of turmoil, how could Grandfather Huang allow such a thing to happen. ”

Li Yunqiu moved his lips, "The position of the crown prince should have been Chonghua. ”

"What are you thinking, Mother? Zhan Changfeng looked at her, "Where should it be or not, only if it can be." ”

"Do you think that the emperor's grandfather just wants an imperial grandson, he wants the emperor. ”

"Do you think you can be the emperor?" Li Yunqiu seemed to have never known this daughter, so he was shocked at the moment, "You want to be the emperor!"

"How I don't want to, I've been preparing for this since I was born, and if I don't want to, this palace can't keep me. "Zhan Changfeng has this confidence.

"Impossible, Chonghua is the one who should be the emperor. Li Yunqiu frowned, "What did you do to him?" ”

"Didn't I say it, the emperor's grandfather wants the emperor, it has nothing to do with gender, so there are two choices, one, I will continue to be my crown prince, and then become the emperor, but I will marry a wife in this life, but I will not have children, but it doesn't matter, your Chonghua will become the royal family's fertility tool. ”

"Two," Zhan Changfeng smiled, "The emperor's grandfather protected him, taught him all kinds of imperial skills, and only waited for him to come out and get rid of me after he learned something, after all, the person who can use me as a whetstone is not far from a qualified emperor." ”

"In either case, the current crown prince can only be me. ”

Li Yunqiu was choked speechless by this bloody analysis, and his heart was cold, "You know so well in your heart, why are you still stirring in this troubled water, what are you trying to do." ”

"No, Mother, it's a circumstance, and it can't be avoided. Zhan Changfeng said in a deep tone, "But it's also what I want." ”

"Do you know, Mother, my things have never been given up by me, and they have not been snatched away, not to mention that my freedom and pursuit are based on my current status, how can you let me go. ”

Zhan Changfeng said: "If one day, whoever tries to obstruct Lone's ideals, Huangquan is blue, and Lone will definitely make that life worse than death." ”

"Mother, you should be glad that Lone is still the prince. ”
