Chapter 71: Unworthy of Entrustment

The little emperor was about to request again, and when he heard what she said, he couldn't help but be surprised again.

Qi Zhenzhen sneered and said: "You and Prince Guangling are almost as good as each other, but you know that he has a lot of contacts with your concubine Jin Bin, and even drinks and laughs. Maybe he even has some other conspiracy."

The little emperor immediately felt miserable in his heart: everyone thought that as an emperor he could rule all directions, but little did he know that just in this palace complex, he was being teased like a puppet.

Feeling powerless, Liu Hui felt dizzy for a moment. Qi Zhenzhen sneered again: "Your Majesty, go back as soon as possible to comfort that concubine. I am tired."

Liu Hui bowed in confusion and retreated outside the hall, feeling chilled by the cold wind. Suddenly remembering what his mother had said just now, and the inexplicable sinister look on his face, he almost ran all the way back to his palace.

Everything here has been done, and the imperial doctor and chamberlain have disappeared holding the infant prince in their arms. And the beloved concubine was lying on the bed miserably and sadly, her head covered with sweat, and she was calling to the little emperor again and again.

Liu Hui suddenly burst into tears. He felt that nothing could be more miserable than having the world under his control and being "cared for" by his mother.

After crying bitterly for a long time, he finally remembered to ask: "Is he the little prince?" The chamberlain and maid next to him lowered their heads and answered yes.

"Where now?" he asked again.

"She should have been taken to the Queen Mother." The palace maid replied carefully.

Liu Hui was about to get up, but felt weak. Use his ability to ask Qi Zhenzhen to get the prince back? It is known to be a delusion. Qi Zhenzhen was so eager to handle this matter that he was probably going to depose him and establish him as a prince.

Feeling that his own life was in danger, Liu Hui left his concubine's bed and returned to his residence to think.

If you don't do one thing, you won't stop. He just thought that if he wanted to completely change his destiny, he should not take care of Liu Zixing and others first, but treat the disease and get rid of the root cause first. Liu Hui's biggest enemy was the Queen Mother. Liu Hui determined that only by getting rid of the Queen Mother could he and the people he loved be safe.

Thinking like this, he quickly took action and secretly found someone to find highly toxic drugs.

When Qi Zhenzhen saw the confirmed little prince, he quickly ordered the wet nurse who had prepared to wait on him: "Stay next to my bedroom, and you will not be able to leave for a moment to protect me, and no one can see him." Everyone followed the order, and Qi Zhenzhen went there. Then happily find a male pet to play with.

The news that the emperor had a prince was immediately announced. While the courtiers congratulated him, Chief Situ Xie Chong fell into deep worry.

After returning to the mansion, he got off the carriage, but secretly realized that there was a spy following him. He didn't need to think too much and knew that this was a reconnaissance of him from the Queen Mother.

With worry and vigilance, he returned to the house and sat down in the hall, looking depressed. Xie Yun came back to pay his respects. After Xie Chong nodded slightly, he ordered him to sit in front of him.

After a long silence, Xie Chongping retreated and whispered to him again: "Do you know that we may be in great danger?"

Since Xie Yun had already informed Xie Chong about the Queen Mother's attempt to seduce him, he was roughly aware of his words and just nodded slightly.

"It's nothing if I die. I'm just sorry that I didn't live up to the trust of King Xiao Nanchen." Xie Chong sighed, then looked at Xie Yun and said, "But I don't want you to die."

Xie Yun quickly bowed and said: "My foster father has been as kind to me as a mountain. If anything happens, Yun Zi will die for you!"

Shaking his head, Xie Chong couldn't help but burst into tears and choked with sobs. Of course Xie Yun found the scene sad, but he was still surprised: although Xie Chong was a scribe, he had been following Zhou Shengchen in all the wars, and he was very courageous. Furthermore, it was Xie Yun himself who was seduced by the Queen Mother. Why was Xie Chong so panicked?

With such questions, Xie Yun tried to ask while comforting him. After a long time, Xie Chong regained his composure and whispered again.

Xie Yun was born from the marriage of Xie Chong and a woman from the Gao clan, the late emperor's queen. The relationship between the couple was very good, but Xie Chong was first unhappy with the Gao family for being too arrogant and domineering in relying on Queen Gao, and then he predicted that "if you stand high, you will fall hard", he quietly broke up with the Gao family. .

Two very loving people seem to have no connection, but it is because they want to save their only son, Xie Yun. Later, when the late emperor died, Queen Gao was indeed liquidated and killed by Qi Zhenzhen and his gang.

Xie Chong's foresight at the time led to a relatively good result: Xie Yun, as his adopted son, was able to survive and stay with Xie Chong.

Hearing this, Xie Yun also cried endlessly. After Xie Chong comforted him a little, he continued.

If the Queen Mother fails to seduce Xie Yun, she will naturally become angry and look for opportunities to harm her. Now there are signs that the fact that Xie Chong and Xie Yun are members of the late Empress Gao's family is being secretly confirmed.

This was already a catastrophe for Xie Chong and Xie Yun, but Xie Chong felt that the more dangerous thing was still to come, that is, the young emperor Liu Hui's beloved concubine suddenly gave birth to a child early.

According to the expected date of delivery, it should be more than a month away. Not only did the concubine give birth prematurely, but Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen also acted strangely. For example, it was fine if the prince was not cared for by his mother and could see him, but Qi Zhenzhen actually refused to let the emperor see him. This is very strange, and it also allows people to guess: Qi Zhen really intends to control the little prince.

This intention is very obvious, indicating that the current emperor Liu Hui is dispensable to Qi Zhenzhen, and there is no need to even exist.

If this calculation continues, there will definitely be a head-on conflict between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

When Xie Chong said this, Xie Yun quickly asked in a low voice: "What should I do?" Xie Chong just sighed, then frowned and said: "I, even if you are killed, it is nothing. But after all, we How could I die in vain after being entrusted by King Xiao Nanchen?"

He said it sadly, but the young and energetic Xie Yun would certainly not agree: since Zhou Shengchen was assigned to be a guard in the palace, he clearly wanted to guard and stabilize the order of the palace with Qin Yan, Yuan Wuchu and others.

Now that the Queen Mother has failed to tease her, she is looking for an opportunity to harm herself. How could Xie Yun die in a cowardly manner for such a thing? If this is the case, then he has not only failed King Xiao Nanchen, but also humiliated himself!

Moreover, the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen was originally restricted in power by King Xiao Nanchen. It was precisely because of the weakness and cowardice of Xie Chong, Piao Guang, Liu Wei and others that made Qi Zhenzhen rampant. If Zhou Shengchen was always here, how could Qi Zhenzhen be like this?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Xie Yun immediately said: "I don't want to say anything else. I just said that Your Majesty wants to see the prince. Not to mention that the emperor is supreme. Isn't it human nature?"

Xie Chong could only shake his head and wave his hands, not daring to say more on this topic. Seeing that he was in a low mood, Xie Yun had to retreat temporarily. Unable to distract himself from his boredom, he simply went to find Qin Yan, the general of the Imperial Guard who had come with the royal army to the palace.
