The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Prince Gong said: "Even if the emperor's brother is seriously injured and is ill, the successors will always be the mothers' grandsons, no worse than their own sons. But these days, I heard that the princes have had troubles one after another, but the old man is fine. I'm afraid not, Does the Queen Mother think that her grandson being emperor is too far away, and it is not as good as having her own son ascend to the throne?"

After saying these words, before the Queen Mother could reprimand her, Jiang Shiying, who had been silent all this time, said, "Prince Gong, you are so arrogant in front of the Queen Mother, do you still remember your duty as a minister and a son of man?"

When she said this, she raised her head slightly, but there was a condescending contempt in her eyes.

Prince Gong was not angry, and looked at her face, and then said with a smile: "Duty? I heard that boy Lao Shi has been following you calling 'Sister, Sister'. Concubine Chen is very resourceful." , Such a good job, it made both of these brothers dizzy."

As soon as the words fell, a "pop" sound was heard, and Prince Gong received a hard slap on the face.

Prince Gong raised his arm to fight back, but he heard Jiang Shiying's words with disdain: "I am your Majesty's first-class concubine, is this what you can slander?"

Her eyes were clear and clear, and she was a perfect beauty. When her gaze fell on Prince Gong, it made him shiver.

Prince Gong put down his arms, took a deep breath and looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, are you just going to watch a concubine of your harem slap her minister in the face?"

The Queen Mother glanced at him lightly: "You said something rude, even if Concubine Chen doesn't teach you a lesson, the Ai family will also teach you a lesson. You deserve this slap."

"What do I deserve?" Prince Gong raised his voice, and then laughed angrily: "Well, I deserve it. I don't know, Queen Mother, you first covered up His Majesty's serious injury, and then murdered the prince in the palace in an attempt to control power and support Jing. What kind of fate should the king receive when he succeeds to the throne?"

After the words fell, Shangshu Ling stood up and angrily shouted: "Your Highness Prince Gong! Please be careful what you say! After His Majesty was assassinated, he personally entrusted the affairs of the harem to the Queen Mother. What His Highness said is pure nonsense. Your Highness is here Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will take heavy responsibility from you for this nonsense?"

Prince Gong's eyes dodged slightly at first, and then, not knowing what he thought of, he chuckled: "Nonsense? Nonsense? Lord Shangshuling, if you didn't suspect that something happened to His Majesty, why would you be like me? Appear here?"

Since he dared to appear in Ganquan Palace with so many people today, he had got accurate news and knew that his imperial brother was in bad condition, so he wanted to take the opportunity to support a nephew to ascend to the throne. As for himself, he acted as an uncle regent who held great power. When the time is right, replace it.

He was originally optimistic about the eldest prince, his eldest nephew, who was more ambitious than wise. If they brought the eldest prince with them today, then this drama would be much more justified.

It's a pity that the eldest prince's fever has not subsided since he fell into the water, but the opportunity waits for no one.

But it doesn't matter, this is just a slight flaw. When he becomes the winner, he can write this period of history according to his own ideas.

Prince Gong was full of inner drama, but Shangshu Ling just glanced at him coldly, then looked past him to a heroic man in light armor behind him: "Master Cui, you are here with Prince Gong today. , could it be that like him, you have confused thoughts in your heart?"

This Master Cui is none other than Cui Jian, the commander of the Forbidden Army.

After hearing his question, Cui Jian said: "I don't know what the confused thoughts mentioned in the Shangshu Order mean. I only know that Your Majesty has not shown up for ten days in a row. I am deeply favored by the emperor, how can I pretend that nothing happened? Of course?" I have to meet His Majesty before I can feel relieved."

After saying this, Shangshu Ling's expression darkened: "Master Cui, Your Majesty treats you well."

Cui Jian said: "That's why I have to ensure your majesty's safety."

The two people talking had cold voices. Only Prince Gong who was listening laughed out loud: "You heard it, Mr. Cui also feels that there must be something unusual about His Majesty's absence for a long time."

He looked at the Queen Mother and said, "If the Queen Mother and Eunuch Yao have no evil intentions, please step aside and let us go inside to see Your Majesty."

Yao Xingde frowned: "Prince Gong, your Majesty has already made a decree, and he will not see anyone while he is recovering from his injuries. Are you doing what you did today to resist the decree and disrespect it?"

"Purpose?" Prince Gong sneered: "Whether this decree comes from His Majesty's mouth is still unknown."

At this point, he tilted his head: "I advise Eunuch Yao to get out of the way, otherwise -"

Before he could finish his threatening words, he heard a cold male voice -

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?"

Following the sound, he saw that the palace door had been opened wide and Lu Zhaolin was standing at the door.

His face was rosy and his body was strong, and he did not appear to be seriously injured.

Shangshu Ling and others saluted one after another: "I will see your Majesty."

Jiang Shiying also saluted: "I see you, Your Majesty."

The people who were originally following Prince Gong quickly followed up: "I will see your Majesty."

At this moment, only Prince Gong stood there with his mouth wide open, stammering: "Emperor, brother emperor."

"Get back on your feet." As he spoke, Lu Zhaolin took a step forward: "Old Qi, I'm still waiting to hear your advice."

Prince Gong's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

Lu Zhaolin glanced at him with disgust and said: "Prince Gong Lu Zhaoyun, Imperial Prince Siye Zhao Lansong, Right Minister of Rites Xing Yihe, clan sons Lu Xuan, Lu Yongshan, and Lu Qining forced the palace to rebel and were imprisoned in the heavenly prison."

As soon as the words fell, the person who carried out the order was actually the Imperial Guards who were originally following Prince Gong and others.

When Prince Gong was caught, his face was full of disbelief. He turned to look at Cui Jian: "You lied to me! You are the emperor's man!"

Cui Jian said calmly: "Of course I belong to His Majesty."

After saying this, he said no more and signaled the imperial guards to drag Prince Gong and others away.

Prince Gong and others were wailing and begging for mercy. Lu Zhaolin only glanced at them briefly and said with a frown: "Surround the traitor's mansion and don't let anyone escape."

Cui Jian bowed and saluted: "I obey your order!"

Then he took the order and left.

After the matter came to an end, Lu Zhaolin looked at Shangshu Ling: "These days, I have worked hard on many affairs of the previous dynasty. I love you so much."

Shangshu Ling said humbly: "Your Majesty's words are serious. I don't dare to take the word "hard work" as it is my responsibility."

After saying this, he looked at the expression on Lu Zhaolin's face and knelt on his knees: "I am guilty."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin looked puzzled: "What's the crime of loving Qing?"

The minister ordered: "If I had not insisted on asking for an audience today, I would not have given Prince Gong and other traitors an opportunity to take advantage."

Lu Zhaolin personally helped him up and said: "Prince Gong's rebellion was because he had evil intentions. How can he blame Aiqing? I know that Aiqing came to see me today because he was worried about my safety, so I will not blame him for this." ."

Shangshu Ling's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty."
