Chapter 704 Acacia (1)
"I have seen the mother-in-law!"
In Jingyang Palace, the third prince, Han Lingfu, respectfully bowed to Concubine Zhang who was sitting on the bed of the Luohan with the hollowed-out carvings on the five-circle screen.
Concubine Zhang lazily raised her hand and waved away the maids in the palace, and then said, "Your Majesty, sit down."
Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang sat next to each other, hesitated for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Mother concubine called my son to come over, but because of what happened yesterday that my son was scolded by the father?"
Concubine Zhang's charming Danfeng eyes were slightly raised and she asked, "Emperor, what's going on?"
A hint of anger flashed in Han Lingfu's brows and eyes, and said, "I received a secret letter from the Xirong envoy yesterday and asked me to go to the Zangchun Tower. Who would have thought that after arriving at the Zangchun Tower, the two Xirong people were left and right. He, without a word of truth, is extremely cunning! Not long after I sat down, the soldiers and horses of the five cities suddenly came..." He clearly described what happened in the Zangchun Tower and the imperial study last night. The matter was told to Concubine Zhang one by one.
In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Finally, Xiao Yi didn't tell the emperor that his son was meeting with the envoy Xirong, otherwise he would not just be punished for copying books..."
"Don't you think this is too coincidental?" Concubine Zhang frowned and said thoughtfully, "There are so many brothels in the capital, why did Xiao Yi search for the remnants of the previous dynasty and find that Zangchun Building? Go. Huang’er, do you think Xiao Yi and Xi Rong’s envoys colluded and deliberately led you to Zangchun Tower to frame you?”
"Isn't it possible?" The third prince was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief, "If Xiao Yi has this kind of shrewdness and such skills, does the mother-in-law think that the father and the emperor will still favor him so much?"
If it is said that the people who understand the emperor's mind the most are probably these princes who are about to come of age. The emperor wants to use them, but he is afraid that their ability is too strong, and he will divide his emperor's rights and even take away the emperor's throne.
And the threat of Zhennan King to the emperor is no weaker than that of the prince. The 200,000 Zhennan Army is registered by the imperial court, but this Zhennan King is the emperor of the southern border. Who knows how many private soldiers he has raised. Nan Wang supported his troops to stand on his own, and I am afraid that even the imperial court could not do anything for a while. In this world, when it comes to the people the emperor is most afraid of, King Zhennan and the future King Zhennan are definitely the top ones.
Concubine Zhang's red lips pursed slightly, admitting that what her son said did have some truth. After the prince of Zhennan arrived in the capital, he didn't do anything serious except hang out with a group of playboys and play with cats and dogs. That is to say, the palace was lucky that day, and it was a rescue.
Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang exchanged glances, and they both thought of going to one place.
He pondered for a while, and then said: "Now the father is very fond of Xiao Yi, and the first emperor and the second emperor are both trying to win Xiao Yi's support. This time it should just be a warning to me, otherwise there is no need to let it go." After all, it was a huge mistake for me to secretly meet with the Xirong envoy. The chance of the second emperor's brother falling into the trap, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable, no one can guarantee that the emperor will completely hate himself for this matter.
Now that the mother concubine has been downgraded from a first-rank noble concubine to a second-rank concubine, if she provokes the father and the emperor again, then the position of the supreme is probably really missed by him!
Although still very unwilling, but after weighing the pros and cons, I still have to fight for Xiao Yi to stand on his side!
King Zhennan, who can ignore the huge interests that the future King Zhennan can represent!
Thoughts in his heart turned, Han Lingfu squinted his eyes for a while, made up his mind, and said to Concubine Zhang: "Mother concubine, since Xiao Yi has taken a fancy to the Yaoguang County Master, you and the second emperor should stop." Nangong Yue, a complex light flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes. He used to have some interest in Yaoguang County Master. He felt that with the love of the emperor and the queen, and the appeal of the Nangong family in Shilin, if he married She is a concubine, and she will definitely have great benefits. Letting Nangong Yue go and have a kiss is really a compromise for the marriage of the second princess and Xiao Yi... It seems that now, he really can only give up Nangong Yue.
