wait for me to be king

It was getting dark gradually.

The queen mother suddenly woke up from a deep dream.

She had a splitting headache and wanted to get up, but her whole body was weak.

The queen mother said softly, "Come here..."

A nanny immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Empress Dowager, you are finally awake."

The queen mother rubbed her temples, "What time is it?"

"You haven't been able to fall asleep since the morning, and it's already [-]:[-] o'clock."

"What? Ai's family fell asleep all day?" The queen mother was startled, no wonder she was weak all day, she didn't eat for a day, but she didn't panic because of hunger.

The nanny said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, something serious happened outside."

The Queen Mother heard a sneer from the corner of her mouth, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty was offering sacrifices in front in the morning, and there seemed to be something wrong. Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards rushed into the palace and searched everywhere. The slaves were about to send someone to inquire about it. As a result, Concubine De..."

"Long time no see."

Before the nanny could finish her sentence, Concubine De came in with someone.

The queen mother's eyes jumped, and she helped the nurse beside her, and sat up slowly.

She fought with Concubine Dexian for most of her life. Concubine Xian was dead, and Concubine De was the only one left. Before Concubine De retired to the royal temple to pray for the late emperor, the Empress Dowager did not do it again for the sake of Emperor Xuanming's sympathy for his brother, King Chen. Let's start, who would have known that Concubine De would jump out on her own initiative?

As for the reason why Concubine De jumped out, it's easy to guess. King Chen was deprived of his title and banned. I heard that life is not going well. Even if Concubine De has more calculations in her heart, it is only for King Chen, right?

But within a few breaths, the queen mother has already sorted out her thoughts.

"It's really been a long time." She said calmly, "Sister sit down quickly, the temple is poor, I invited my sister to the palace for a short talk in the past, but my sister always refused to come, today it is rare to enter the palace, I am very happy in my heart."

A trace of ridicule flashed across Concubine De's face, "Really? My sister is really good at talking, and now you can still sit still."

Speaking of this, Concubine De sighed leisurely, "My sister really admires my sister. She seems to be so calm and calm all the time. Nothing can break you."

The queen mother chuckled, "At this point, there is nothing that can change my face." She raised her hand to straighten her slightly dry long hair, "Huafa is gone, the beauty is late, the emperor has passed away, we just It’s just growing old in the deep palace.”

Concubine De was silent, she pursed her lips and said nothing, even if she joined forces with King Qi, the queen mother is still the queen mother, she is not only the mother of Emperor Xuanming, but also the grandmother of King Qi, maybe the king of Qi and the queen mother are not close , but the name of the elders can't be changed no matter what.

"What my sister said is true." Concubine De sat on the concubine Xiang chair next to her, picked up the tea bowl she visited next to her, and said calmly, "My sister hasn't entered the palace for a long time, it's my sister's fault! Let's spend time with my sister today." !"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly. Is Concubine De trying to trip her up?

She looked at the nanny beside her, who was blessed and turned around and wanted to retreat. Concubine De laughed lightly, "Sister, this old slave is my sister's usual hand, it's better to stay by my side."

The Queen Mother sneered, and she didn't bother to object, "What promise did the Queen give you to make you work so hard?"

Concubine De's hand stopped.

"It's not difficult to guess." The queen mother smiled slightly, "The king of Chen conspired against him, and if he wanted to be pardoned, it had to be the emperor's decree. It is very likely that he will disobey the will of his father, the third child is still young, the biggest possibility is the second child, right? The second child ascends the throne, the queen is the queen mother, and it is reasonable to issue an order to forgive King Chen in the name of the queen mother."

Concubine De lowered her eyes, "Since my sister already knows, please cultivate well in the palace."

"The second child is ill, and it is difficult to have an heir. He dares to do so, unless the concubine around him is pregnant, or joins forces with the third child...or joins forces with Concubine Shu." The Queen Mother figured out the reason in a few words, " But Concubine Shu was born as a servant, what confidence does she have to cooperate with the Queen?"

King Lu is young, and there are at least ten years before he wants to become an adult. Ten years is enough for the queen to do something. Concubine Shu was kicked out of her head by a donkey, and she actually sought skin from a tiger?

Concubine De shrugged, "Sister doesn't know about it! But no matter who ascends the throne, as long as my son can be sent to a fief, it is enough to be a rich and idle king."

The queen mother frowned, "You think too simply." She sighed, "Concubine De, you are also from a famous family, but have you ever thought about it, now the crown prince has only one son, the second child has no children, and the third child is still young, but Chen Wang There are three sons, and there are also grandchildren."

Concubine De was shocked.

"Perhaps King Chen's descendants will be very rich, but this has nothing to do with King Chen. On the contrary, he may suffer danger because of his descendants." The Queen Mother said softly, "The sons of the brothers of the previous emperors will inherit the Datong. Son's father and brother...hehe."

"Concubine De, is your son important, or the grandson you have never met?"

The queen mother looked at Concubine De's colorful face leisurely, "No matter what you do, my son is the eldest brother of King Chen, no matter how bad it is, he will be imprisoned, but if it is a nephew..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Concubine De was stunned, and then said after a while, "...as expected of the noble concubine who favored the sixth palace back then."

Qi Zhao clutched his stomach, and carefully stuffed the last piece of pastry in the sachet into his stomach.

so hungry =u=

Now that the sun is setting, Qi Zhao carefully took off the bright yellow robe he was wearing, and put on a moon-white inner garment. When the moonlight fell, the moon-white inner garment was the same color as glazed tiles under the moonlight ==

Qi Zhao lay on his back on the roof, looking at the moon above his head, with the north wind blowing, he was in a good mood.

The guards below are still running around like flies, the father should be fine, the only headache for Qi Zhao is that he has no food in stock, if the matter is not over by tomorrow morning, he will be forced to starve.

But he comforted himself again, during the transition of the throne, he would be able to pass through the palace safely by lying on the beam like him and looking at the moon. How many grandchildren can the emperor have?He is still content!

Just as he was staring at the moon in a daze, a conversation suddenly came from below.

Qi Zhao was taken aback, the voice... seemed to be his companion, Zuo Fu?

Zuo Fu, as the eldest grandson of Zuo Qingqiu, should be at home to keep his filial piety for his grandfather, how could he be in the palace?

The voice of the person talking to Zuo Fu was very low, but Qi Zhao could tell in an instant that it was the Great Monk Xuantong who came to pray for blessings!

Qi Zhao's eyes turned cold, it was these few monks who killed the emperor's grandfather! !

Thinking of this, Qi Zhao sat up slowly, and pulled out two blades from under his boots. The blades were bright, reflecting the moonlight, glistening like autumn water.

Qi Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth, he asked his cheap master Xie Changfeng to get these two blades, they were really sharp, he couldn't handle them at all, okay?

He unfastened the silver buckle on his belt again. If he remembered correctly, Xie Changfeng had demonstrated it to him...

Well!Yes, turn the buckle to the left, a gap will be exposed, put the end of the blade face into the buckle, and you can make a simple dagger!

In the blink of an eye, Qi Zhao finished the dagger. He took one in each hand, fastened his belt, and lay down carefully by the eaves, listening carefully.

"Have you found the prince and eldest grandson yet?"

"not yet."

"Hurry up! Why don't you send people to spread the news and say that you have found the trace of the emperor's grandson." Zuo Fu's voice was different from the past, with a hint of coldness and majesty, "The crown prince has only one son. If the eldest grandson dies, I think How can he secure the position of prince!!"

"Yes."

Qi Zhao was stunned, isn't Zuo Qingqiu the grandfather of his father?Isn't Zuo Fu his cousin?Why did they attack the prince, and why did they join forces with King Qi?

But that's not something he needs to think about!What if this rumor spreads, and the father doesn't know why, so what should I do if I fall into the trap?

The little Qi Zhao was caught in a tangle, he couldn't hide anymore, he had to find a way to get in touch with his father and king, and crush the other party's conspiracy!

Qi Zhao gritted his teeth, carefully removed the bricks from the beam, and sneaked into the hall again.

The hall was brightly lit, but luckily no one looked up, Qi Zhao walked on the beam with his heart in his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He hugged the pillar at the other end tightly, turned his head to look down, and found Zuo Fu sitting on a chair in the center of the hall, with several guards guarding him!etc!Who is that?Zhuge Zhen, the commander of the imperial guards! !

At this moment, Zhuge Zhenzheng was full of impatience, "The whole palace has been searched many times, the crown prince is hidden somewhere, the East Palace has been unable to attack for a long time, so we just wait?"

Zuo Fu pursed his lips, "Grandmother has her own plans."

"Hmph! No matter how much you plan, it's useless when you encounter truly powerful force!" Zhuge Zhen walked back and forth with an anxious expression on his face, "If you don't kill the prince and grandson, if Xie Changfeng returns to the palace, all your plans and mine will be paid. Flowing waters!"

Zuo Fu said unconvinced, "Xie Changfeng is just a general! What is there to be afraid of?"

Zhuge Zheng was extremely angry, he really didn't want to talk too much with Huang Kou'er, "Call your father!"

Zuo Fu clenched his fists subconsciously, his whole body trembled, his eyes were full of anger, "Okay, okay! I will tell grandma and father about this matter!"

Zhuge Zhen didn't bother to talk to Zuo Fu, so he walked away.

Zuo Fu looked at Zhuge Zhen's back and murmured, "What audacity!"

The great monk Xuantong beside him said in a low voice, "Amitabha, he doesn't know that His Highness is a descendant of the previous dynasty, so he naturally doesn't know his dignity. When the King of Lu ascends the throne in the future and makes his father stand in the court hall as a regent, everything will be different. .”

Zuo Fu's face changed again, and he smiled proudly, "You are right, grandma is the princess of the former dynasty, this world belongs to our family!"

Qi Zhao on the beam opened his mouth wide, what did he hear?

Zuo Qingqiu is a descendant of the former royal family?wait!

The royal father's mother came from Zuo Qingqiu's original spouse, what's the name of Zuo Qingqiu's step-wife?

Shangguan family?

What a Shangguan family!Officials are naturally the royal family!
