General, you are being naughty

days ago.

The news of Concubine Jing's death came from the nunnery, and the Queen Mother immediately found Dongfang Ting and discussed with him about Concubine Jing's funeral.Dongfang Ting was in a trance, appearing to be absent-minded, and only said that she would let her mother decide.

The Empress Dowager said that Concubine Jing had a miserable life, her child died when she was born, she was deeply pained by the bereavement, and she shed tears every day, and later she became a monk and never returned to the Holy Palace.

In the end, the queen mother pondered for a while, and decided to bury Concubine Jing in the concubine mausoleum next to the mausoleum of the first emperor.

Dongfang Ting answered a few words casually, then found an excuse and hurried away.In front of the Queen Mother, he was no longer as casual and relaxed as before, but felt uncomfortable and trembling all over his body.

In the early days of these days, the ministers were playing in the palace, but Dongfang Ting was out of his mind, and he didn't understand what he said, and he said something about eating and sleeping when answering government affairs.

Dongfang Ting either talked nonsense, or sat on the dragon chair with his eyes empty, and kept silent from the upper court to the last court, which made the ministers very dissatisfied.

An eldest son who was endowed with great expectations before he was born, and was canonized as the crown prince by the late emperor a few days after his birth, so deeply favored by the late emperor, these honors became another person's in the blink of an eye.

Su Yue knew very well in his heart that Dongfang Ting's strange behavior in the past few days meant that it was difficult to accept the truth of his identity, but if it continued like this, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Looking at Dongfang Ting's delirious appearance in Kunhe Palace, Su Yue finally couldn't help it, and scolded: "Being kind is not as good as raising kindness, Concubine Jing gave birth to you, but abandoned you, what does she have to do with you? You are the lord of the world, but because of such a trivial matter, you frequently lose your composure in the Palace of Virtue and Government, and provoked the anger of all the ministers!"

Dongfang Ting was stunned for a long time, but hurriedly asked: "Su Xiang, have you found the eldest prince? Is he still alive?"

Su Yue sneered, and said: "The eldest prince is living very well in the northwest, will you be afraid, Majesty?"

"He's still alive!" Dongfang Ting was shocked and shouted, "No, he can't be alive!"

"Unfortunately, it's too late. The eldest prince has already left the northwest. I heard that he is going to join the army in Heiyun City!"

Looking at the anxious Dongfang Ting, Su Yue said coldly: "It is very likely that the First Prince has already joined the Pingjing Army led by Jianjin!"

"It can't be such a coincidence." Dongfang Ting shook his head, and said stiffly: "Even if the eldest prince went to Heiyun City, Jian Jin doesn't know the truth, so it won't pose much threat to Gu."

"But he's still alive!"

Dongfang Ting: "Then kill him!"

But Su Yue asked back: "Your Majesty thinks that after killing the First Prince, you can sit back and relax?"

"What does Su Xiang mean by this?" Dongfang Ting's face turned cold, his eyes instantly became clear, and he frowned: "After the eldest prince is removed, there is only a simple scarf left. She is protected by the queen mother, and she is alone Can't do it."

Su Yue sneered: "The reason why Jianjin can live to this day is because the Queen Mother is behind her back. Has the Holy Majesty ever thought about it, what if no one backs her up?"

"No!" Dongfang Ting blurted out, he straightened up, glared at Su Yue, his eyes were red, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "She is the orphan mother queen! You'd better not think of the queen mother! It's not allowed!"

Shuzi cannot be taught!

Su Yue beat his chest and stamped his feet, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the Empress Dowager is not your biological mother!"

Dongfang Ting's heart was tightly clenched, he closed his eyes, looked up at the palace beam carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, and murmured: "How can you make Gu forget the grace of nurturing?"

Su Yue laughed out loud, as if mocking Dongfang Ting's incompetence, the laughter suddenly stagnated, he stared at Dongfang Ting, his desolate voice was extremely hoarse: "You don't have any blood relationship with the Queen Mother, so there is no need to feel so guilty Is the Empress Dowager really nice to you? She would rather turn against you than protect an outsider, but she refuses to help you stabilize the country! Your Majesty, wake up!"

Dongfang Ting remained silent, but in fact he realized that it was not the eldest prince or Jianjin who hindered his path to becoming an emperor, but the queen mother who accompanied him every day!

Sitting in the Hall of Virtue and Government, kneeling down to worship all civil and military officials, calling out Long Live the Holy Spirit, who knows how many of them are sincere?

Over the past few years, the Empress Dowager has planted too deep roots in the Datong Kingdom, and his hard work in the past few months alone is not enough to shake the giant tree!

Su Yue saw that Dongfang Ting's face was slightly relaxed, and immediately said: "In a short time, Jianjin will be returning to the imperial court, my lord, at this time, don't be soft-hearted! Before Jianjin comes back, make a decisive decision and get rid of it first." Empress Dowager, take back the military power of the Forbidden Army Battalion, completely control Tongjing City, and then send people to hide in every gate, as soon as Jianjin enters the city, immediately cut off her head!"

Dongfang Ting was stunned, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze. Su Yue snorted coldly but remained silent. After a long time, he raised his eyes to look at Su Yue, and said slowly: "Su Xiang, how do you want to get rid of the Queen Mother?"

Su Yue looked overjoyed: "Have you figured it out?"

Dongfang Ting was silent for a long time again, and he smiled wryly: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, there is no way out for Lonely."

But Su Yue said: "Get rid of the Queen Mother, you can't show it publicly, let alone disturb Bai Hua and Fang Heng."

"How do we do that?"

"Take action on the Queen Mother's diet!"

The accidental death of the queen mother did not involve any power, and the current situation remained unchanged as much as possible.

At night, thinking about what Su Yue said to him, Dongfang Ting felt a headache and couldn't sleep.

He kept his bloodshot eyes open until dawn, and he didn't know how long he let them go. When a heavy drowsiness hit his heart, he fell asleep a little.

The bell of the upper court has already rung, and Dongfang Ting's voice has not come from the sleeping hall. In the middle of the night, the cat walked into the hall with his body on, and looked over from a distance, but saw Dongfang Ting still lying on the bed. He felt suspicious and left. Go to Dongfang Ting's bed.

Ban Chu bent down and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up early for the court meeting."

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Ting did not wake up. Looking at the darkness in front of Dongfang Ting's eyes, he sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and gently tucked down the quilt.

Banchu was about to take back his hand, when suddenly, a hand flashed out from the side and quickly grabbed his wrist!

"Your Majesty?" Ban Chu was shocked, a layer of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.He shook his body and looked down, but saw Dongfang Ting closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, and he heard Dongfang Ting talking in his sleep: "Mother, don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Could it be a nightmare?

"My lord?" Banchu tentatively called out.

Dongfang Ting frowned tightly, his expression frightened, and he murmured: "Don't...don't kill me, Queen Mother..."

Looking at Dongfang Ting's appearance, he seemed to be dazed in a dream. Banchu was so anxious that he shook him and shouted loudly: "My lord! My lord! Wake up!"

In this dark and dim place, there was no light, and there was no exit around. Dongfang Ting yelled in horror, but no one responded.It was as if a strong winter wind was blowing, and he was shivering all over, walking aimlessly without feeling tired.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him. Dongfang Ting was ecstatic. He ran over just now, but found a figure standing not far in front of him!

He hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward, and the face of that figure gradually became clear.Looking at the woman in front of him, Dongfang Ting gasped, the hairs all over his body stood on end, it turned out to be the queen mother in phoenix robe!

The Empress Dowager looked at him with cold eyes and a blank expression on her face. Dongfang Ting took a few steps back and exclaimed in horror: "Empress Mother, are you here to bring the child home?" He tentatively moved forward and stretched out his hand tremblingly, " Empress, my child is sorry for you, I beg my empress, don't abandon my child..."

The queen mother's expression moved slightly, a cold sword with a cold light was slowly raised, and she walked towards him step by step.Dongfang Ting backed away suddenly, with a hideous face, he yelled frantically: "Mother! I am Ting'er! I am Ting'er!"

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Ban Chu hastily held Dongfang Ting's hands waving wildly in mid-air, and in a hurry, he had the courage to turn around and pick up the teacup next to him, took a sip of tea, and suddenly spewed it out like a spring, spreading it all over the east. Ting's face.

Dongfang Ting suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously straightened up, panting heavily, letting the cold sweat on his face mix with the tea, dripping from his chin into the bedding.

Banchu rushed forward in surprise, and shouted: "My lord, you finally woke up, you scared the little Chuzi to death!"

Dongfang Ting wiped his face: "What time is it?"

Glancing secretly at the tip of his eyes, seeing Dongfang Ting's movements, Banchu replied in fear: "Sishi!"

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you come here with a cotton towel, don't you see that Gu is sweating so much?" Dongfang Ting stared at Banchu and shouted angrily.

How could Ban Chu dare to say that this was his masterpiece, so he hurriedly brought a cotton towel over and handed it to Dongfang Ting, then he hesitated and said: "My lord, do you still have a court meeting today? The ministers are still waiting in the Hall of Virtue and Government."

The nightmare I had just now had already made Dongfang Ting palpitate, how could he have the energy to deal with a bunch of messy things, Dongfang Ting was upset, wiped his face twice casually, threw the cotton towel on Banchu's body, and roared : "No!"

In the early half of the year, he observed his words and expressions, and tried to figure out Dongfang Ting's thoughts, so he tentatively said: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop sleeping for a while?"

"Has the Queen Mother gotten up?" Dongfang Ting asked suddenly.

Banchu shrank his neck and said: "At this time, you should wake up, but the Holy One is going to drive Fuwu Palace?"

Dongfang Ting pondered for a while, then raised his head, looked at him coldly, and said with a strong warning in his voice: "Xiao Chuzi, will you betray Gu?"

Hearing this, Ban Chu was frightened to death, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, moved to Dongfang Ting's bed, looked at the ice-cold little saint, with tears streaming down his nose, and he said in a mournful voice: "The servant is loyal to the Holy One, Never dare to betray the Holy Majesty, whoever has suffered a thousand knives speaks nonsense, the Holy Majesty must not listen to the words of the villain, the servants are loyal to the Holy Majesty!"

Dongfang Ting lifted the quilt and scolded: "Look at how promising you are, I'm just asking."

"Your servant swears to follow His Majesty to the death, as long as His Majesty trusts your servant, you can do whatever you want!"

False alarm, Ban Chu burst into tears and laughed, seeing that Dongfang Ting was about to get up, hurriedly picked up the boots, half kneeled beside the bed, and put them on for Dongfang Ting.

Dongfang Ting straightened up, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he suddenly squatted down, raised his head to meet Shang Banchu's eyes, and said slowly: "Is it really okay to do anything?"

Banchu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded heavily.

Dongfang Ting raised his eyebrows, helped Banchu get up, he smiled, and said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Chuzi, you are really Gu's savior, there is just one thing right now, it is not convenient for Gu to come out in person, you help Gu do it .”
