Rebirth of marriage

The Black Feather Guard was originally the personal guard of the emperors of all dynasties. It was because he had kept a low profile in these years, had no heirs, and had the arrogant Cao family in front of him that the emperor's attention did not fall on his Prince Gong's Mansion.

But things are different now. The Cao family is about to be defeated, and Prince Gong's palace also has a heir.

He explained, "When dad took them over, he first wanted to avenge your mother, and secondly, he wanted to find you. Now that revenge has been avenged, you have found it too.

This shouldn't belong to us, and we should return it in time. We are close to King Xiao, and we are already part of King Xiao's faction in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, only by sending him to that position with all our strength can Prince Gong's palace be stable. Life is good. "

He originally didn't want to get involved in Gu Xiao's fight with the third prince and wanted to personally avenge his son, but Gu Xiao moved too fast and he attacked the queen.

He also told him the true life story of the third prince and their revenge plan.

When King Xiao was employing people, the Black Feather Guards could play a greater role in his hands. In addition, now that he knew that Gu Xiao was the emperor's only bloodline, he was even more determined in his thoughts.

He had to find protection for his son and unborn grandson.

"I understand, listen to dad." Lou Qi agreed.

He grew up in the mountains, and later worked as a bandit for many years. His only obsession was Su Mengjiao, and he was indifferent to power.

But he also understands many things.

Giving it away now is a timely help, but returning it in the future when Gu Xiao gets to that position will be the icing on the cake. Forcing something that does not belong to you will bring disaster.

He has no big ambitions, he just wants his family to be safe.

The father and son had no objections, so the matter was settled, and they planned to discuss the matter when Gu Xiao came to see Lou Qi again.

Su Mengjiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "When Dali and the others are old, just stay in Prince Gong's Mansion. When Prince Xiao takes over the Black Feather Guard, he will promote a new leader. In this way, the Black Feather Guard will have nothing to do with Prince Gong's Mansion." .”

It is a good thing that Prince Gong's Mansion gives away people to Prince Xiao, but on the other hand, Black Feather Guard has been with Prince Gong for nearly 20 years. Will he be criticized in the future for Prince Gong's Mansion giving people away to the emperor?

They are now tied to the same boat as Xiao Wang, and all they have to do is not leave any chance for suspicion from the beginning.

It's not that she doesn't trust King Xiao, but that their status will change in the future. Since ancient times, how many monarchs and ministers have been compatible and completely trusted each other?

Of course, the premise of all this is that King Xiao can reach that position.

Prince Gong and Lou Qi could both think of what Su Mengjiao was worried about, and they knew it tacitly. They originally planned to keep Dali and a few old people in Prince Gong's mansion.

The Black Feather Guards have a specialized training foundation. Over the years, they have been training new recruits under Prince Gong's hands. Those newcomers they will hand over to Prince Xiao.

But Su Mengjiao didn't know this.

However, they were still surprised that Su Mengjiao would consider this, especially Prince Gong. Lao Huai was relieved that his son woke up and that his daughter-in-law acted very calmly when Lou Qi had an accident this time.

He finally had a good night's sleep.

Xie Jiu and Gu Xiao were both in the palace, keeping vigil for the queen.

After stacking white prayer flags, Gu Xiao stuffed another cushion under Xie Jiu's knees and whispered, "When you are tired, find a chance to take a rest. I'm outside. Call me if you need anything."

"Don't worry, mother is with me." Xie Jiu replied to him.

When the queen passed away, the royal wives from all the palaces also came to kneel in the mourning hall. This is why Gu Xiao waited for two days after Lou Qi's accident before letting the queen die.

Yanyan and the King of Liaodong were newly married, and the three-day wedding period had passed on the wedding day. Otherwise, she would have to wear white clothes and come to the palace to keep vigil after becoming the Princess of Liaodong. He was worried that it would be unlucky to say thank you for drinking.

The Princess of Liaodong was coming, and the queen's natal family and the wife of the first assistant were also coming. The King of Liaodong was worried about his wife and daughter, fearing that they would be bullied by the Cao family in the palace, so he asked Aunt Chan to come with her.

The prince and concubine Zhen Guo had the same thought. With these people around, Xie Jiu felt that he was very safe, but he looked at Cao Jingyi who was kneeling opposite him with a slightly worried look.

They are both the queen's daughters-in-law. Unlike Mrs. Gaoming who can go back at night, they have to stay in the mourning hall day and night until the queen's affairs are exposed.

It’s not like you have to kneel all the time during the wake, you can take turns to go to the side hall to rest in between.

Cao Jingyi saw that several concubines got up and went to the side hall to rest. She rubbed her knees and got up. She did not go to the side hall, but walked to the Queen's coffin.

The third prince and the fourth prince were kneeling there.

She leaned forward and said something in the ear of the third prince, who then got up and followed her to the side hall.

"Your Highness, you haven't slept a wink for two days. This is the tonic soup I asked Bai Su to stew. You can drink some of it and then find a place to relax for a while." When they arrived at the side hall, Cao Jingyi took out a soup cup from the food box. , handed it to the third prince.

The third prince had been in a daze for the past two days. He didn't sleep and didn't feel sleepy. He didn't eat much and didn't feel hungry. He looked very worried.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was overly sad for the queen, and was praised for his filial piety by many officials who came to offer incense.

Even the emperor thinks so.

Originally he was worried, but when he got such an unexpected result, he wanted to act like a filial son. Daxia respected filial piety, and this reputation was very useful to him.

Seeing that Cao Jingyi's so-called trouble with him was to let him eat, he sounded a little unhappy, "My mother died of illness, how can I, the prince, eat.

As the mother's daughter-in-law and her niece, you should serve her with all your heart, instead of worrying about whether the prince is hungry or sleepy.

It is a son's duty to keep vigil for his late mother. It doesn't matter if he is hungry or sleepy. His mother is dead, and this prince will never have a mother again. "

When he said these words, he felt quite proud, and his voice could not help but rise.

Cao Jingyi's face was filled with grievances, "Aren't I worried about His Highness's health? Besides, His Highness knows why the empress is gone. Isn't this what you are looking forward to?"

Her voice became softer and softer, but the third prince who was close still heard her.

He was shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you know?"

He asked Dr. Liu to do the drugging for his mother. Dr. Liu was his mother's family and had done many shady things in the past, so he took advantage of him.

Furthermore, since the queen mother has been banned, and he will be an emperor in the future, he will definitely use her in a more important way. He uses both soft and hard skills to make Liu Yuyi betray his mother and be driven by him.

This was done extremely secretly. In order to prevent others from finding out the clues, he always asked Dr. Liu to administer a small amount of medicine every day. It was supposed to occur after seven or eight days, but the queen mother died suddenly.

Dr. Liu only said that the queen was weak and could not withstand the medicine, but he was still a little worried about whether someone else was involved in the matter, so he knew that it was him who had done it to the queen.

It was these worries that filled him with worry.

But Cao Jingyi actually knew, how did she know?

He stared at Cao Jingyi with vicious eyes, waiting for her answer.

Cao Jingyi seemed to be frightened by him, and was confused for a moment. She knelt down and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. I also accidentally learned that you asked Imperial Doctor Liu to drug the queen.

Now that my mother has left as you wished, I thought you would be happy, but I was confused..."

"Shut up." The third prince's eyes were splitting. How dare she say it out loud like this.

He hurriedly went to cover Cao Jingyi's mouth, but it was already too late.

Several concubines and Mrs. Gaoming who were resting next door heard the noise and rushed over, just in time to hear Cao Jingyi's words clearly.
