After the prince came out of Yangxin Palace, he went straight to the Queen's Huaqing Palace.

When the queen saw him coming in, she invited him to sit next to her and said:

"Prince, what did your father say when he left you behind?"

The prince said:

"My father suddenly asked me what I thought about the handling of Li Chenglong's family."

The queen looked at him in surprise and said curiously:

"Why does the emperor think of asking you this question now? He has killed all the Li family, and now he still cares about your opinion on this matter. What's the point? Is his conscience uneasy and wants to seek a way out? It’s psychological comfort.”

"Maybe, Queen Mother, I want to ask you a question. Is there something I haven't done well enough that makes my father think of me? He clearly knows that General Li always stands on my side, etc. When I inherit the throne in the future, won't it make the country more stable if I can get the support of the general? I think the fate of the Li family is inseparable from my status as the prince. If the general doesn't follow me, So close, maybe after this kind of thing happens, the youngest of the Li family will not be imprisoned and convicted, but his family will not be wiped out. When I think of this incident, I feel a deep sense of guilt in my heart, which makes me feel guilty. I can't sleep at night. Mother, I feel that General Li's surrender to the enemy is not that simple."

The Queen sighed and said to him:

"Since ancient times, those who want to achieve great things have always been famous. What's more, this is the throne. Which prince doesn't want to have the supreme power. I want to pull you down from the throne of the prince and cut off those who support you. Arms are the first step in pulling you down from the position of prince. You have no supporter to rely on, so pulling you down will be an easy task. Although Aijia is not your biological mother, she has been there since you were three years old. At that time, you grew up next to me. Apart from being separated by a layer of belly, what is the difference between you and my biological child? Now that you are still an adult, you are also at the age of being a husband and a father. My mother hopes that you can be safe. Step into the throne. But some people are just the opposite. She relies on her favored by the emperor and her family's power in the court to support her son to ascend to the throne. Therefore, you will become a thorn in their side and they can't wait to let you go. You can rest assured if you disappear from this world. Now, you have silently made him suffer a loss. Will he just be done with you? Therefore, Prince, you must be more careful with everything you say and do in the future. . I will ask Yu Jian to pay more attention to your safety. Now he is the only person we trust most. When encountering something, you must discuss it more."

The prince looked at the queen gratefully and said:

"Thank you mother for planning for your son. My son knows everything in his heart. The Li family was destroyed because of me. My son vows to seek justice for the Li family. I can't let them be framed, let alone let their family suffer injustice. injustice."

The queen suddenly remembered something and said to the prince:

"The only survivor of the Li family is Li Susu, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan. I heard that she gave birth to a son for Marquis Dingyuan, and he is also a fool. You think this Li family doesn't even have anyone who can avenge them. No, God is so blind."

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly said to the queen:

"My mother just heard about it, but I actually saw this person yesterday. But he is not a fool like the legend says, and based on my observation of him, I think this person has an extraordinary appearance, and he is very suitable for me. meaning."

The queen was a little surprised and said to him:

"If there is such a thing, why did it happen that he was said to be a fool?"

Prince said:

"I also asked him this question, and he just said briefly that it seemed to be true before. But now I can't tell at all that he was a fool before. Yesterday, I went to the countryside to visit Mrs. Dingyuan Hou. She is under a lot of mental pressure now. Seeing her cry in pain makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

The queen asked again:

"Have their mother and son moved out of the Hou Mansion? What's the matter, are they living in the countryside now?"

The prince nodded at her and said:

"The Hou Mansion is probably afraid of being implicated. The mother and son have indeed moved to the countryside. When I went there yesterday, I happened to meet General Li's subordinates at the border. They were suppressed by Liu Gu and secretly ran back to the capital, trying to General Li is aggrieved."

The queen nodded repeatedly and said

"Now Liu Gu controls the military power at the border, and Hu Gao controls all affairs of the government. Once their time comes, you, the crown prince, will be useless. It will be easy for them to ask King Wei to replace you. So you have to take action and build your own strength secretly. Don’t wait for them to really take action. If you don’t have the strength to fight back, it will be impossible to fight them with just one Jiuchengsi. You must do it. Collect the evidence that Liu Gu and Hu Gao framed General Li. Aren’t the people from Xiliang coming now? You have to find a way to find a breakthrough from them. I don’t believe God won’t help us at all.”

At this moment, the palace maid came in and reported:

"General Yu Jian from the Nine City Division is here."

The queen said to her:

"Let him in."

Just as he was talking, Yu Jian lifted the curtain and walked in. He first greeted the queen, and then said to the prince:

"I was waiting for you at your prince's residence. Who would have thought that you ran to the queen and didn't come back, causing me to come back again."

The queen said to Jian:

"Jian'er, why hasn't your mother come to the palace for a long time? I miss her very much."

Yu Jian stood up and said to the queen:

"Queen, you two sisters have only been separated for a few days, and you said we haven't seen each other for a long time. Last time I came here with my mother."

The queen scolded:

"How can you, my child, understand what it's like to live in the palace like a year? When my sister comes, you can chat with me to relieve my boredom. Do you want to deprive me of even this wish?"

Yu Jian quickly put on a smiling face and said:

"Let's do it tomorrow. I'll send my mother over to you tomorrow. If that doesn't work, let her stay with you in the palace for a few days. This will save you the trouble of always saying that I won't let you sisters meet."

The queen smiled and nodded to him. She turned to the prince and said:

"Prince, I really want to meet the prince of the Hou Mansion. Is his name Jiang Chen or something?"

The prince said to the queen:

"Mother, his name is Jiang Chen. If you want to see him, I will bring him into the palace to show you another day. It will definitely be different from what you imagined."

The queen said expectantly:

"When the prince said this, I want to see him even more."
