Old Mrs. Wen thought very well, and he felt that Zhou Rui should understand, because no matter what the Wen family did, they wanted to push Zhou Rui to the throne of God.As long as Zhou Rui has a normal mind, he will not object to these.

But after Mrs. Wen met Zhou Rui, he realized that he thought things too simply. Zhou Rui hadn't been normal recently, let alone his brain.Mrs. Wen just said something more clearly than before, but Zhou Rui waved him down without thinking.

Seeing Mrs. Wen's unspeakable expression, Zhou Rui thought that he was quite considerate, so he said, "Mr. Wen, you are too careful. Zhou Kang is so old. Know what? Not to mention An Zhaoyi, in order to show her loyalty, she puts Zhou Kang in front of her concubine every time."

Seeing Mrs. Wen's still disapproving face, Zhou Rui continued: "Mr. Wen, now that we are doing something to Zhou Kang, isn't that the same as telling Father that we did everything before? Father cares about me now." Now that I'm about to be appointed as the prince, we're sure to win everything, I really don't think it's necessary to do anything to Zhou Kang, it's just superfluous, I'm just looking for trouble when I'm idle."

"But……"

"No, but." Zhou Rui interrupted Mrs. Wen unceremoniously. He felt that the Wen family was too worrying, "Mr. Wen, Zhou Kang and I still have a good relationship. He admires my elder brother very much." .I have already decided that after I ascend the throne, I will make him king."

The emperor was tyrannical, and almost all his brothers were killed by him when he ascended the throne, leaving only one mentally challenged king An.This King An has no heirs all his life, has never participated in government affairs, and his life is worse than ordinary people.

Also because of this, everyone said that the emperor was cruel and cruel, disregarding the brotherhood, and the throne was not right.In short, all these things add up, and the evaluation of the emperor in the history books is not very good.

Old Mrs. Wen was also devoted to Zhou Rui at the beginning. When it came to this issue, Mrs. Wen also reminded Zhou Rui that if he becomes emperor in the future, he must spare the life of a normal brother to show his benevolence and his right to be enthroned. Emboldened.

Zhou Rui happened to use these words to block old Mrs. Wen's mouth.

Old Mrs. Wen was stunned by Zhou Rui's words, he said: "At this time and at that time, the eldest prince really wants to be crowned king in the future, how can there be a more suitable candidate than the fourth prince now?"

Zhou Rui was very displeased, he said: "Wen Xiang, you don't know, except for the fifth brother, the relationship between me and those brothers is not very good, besides, the fourth brother, the father, the emperor has already made him king?" ? Instead of staring at a little doll who doesn’t know anything, you might as well get Lin Jinwen out of the way. His position in Father’s heart is much more important to me now.”

Speaking of Lin Jinwen, Zhou Rui was filled with anger, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Did you say that his face is inlaid with gold? Father actually forced Wang Zhong to lick back the spittle he spit out because of him. It's just a joke."

"In the past, my father doted on him, and you said you don't need to care about it, and let me endure it. Now, I have to endure it. Thinking about me, an upright and upright prince, I can't even compare to him, a guy with a bad reputation, I'm so aggrieved in my heart. If you can kill him, that will solve my serious problem."

Old Mrs. Wen saw that Zhou Rui was messing around here and just didn't agree with what he said, and he suddenly regretted it in his heart.

This way is not feasible for Zhou Rui, so he can only think of a way, so he said: "What the eldest prince said is true, the old ministers will remember it."

"Huh?" Zhou Rui was really surprised this time. He was already prepared in his heart, waiting to hear old Mrs. Wen's cliché, what to be patient is to wait for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wen's attitude was so kind, Zhou Rui couldn't help but said, "Has Prime Minister Wen made up his mind?"

Old Mrs. Wen smiled slightly and said, "To deal with Lin Jinwen, there is no need for the eldest prince to come forward. When the time is right, the eldest prince will just wait and see."

Zhou Rui also knew old Mrs. Wen quite well, he knew that this man never said anything he was not sure about.He wanted to ask what Old Master Wen was up to, but he knew that the old man would not say it, so his interest suddenly faded, and he said: "In that case, then I will wait for the good news from Prime Minister Wen. "

Mrs. Wen hummed, and then took his leave.

This road is not working, you have to go another way.

After Old Master Wen left, Zhou Rui sat up straight, frowned, and then decided to go to the palace to meet Concubine Xian first, and ask her what she meant.

Zhou Rui has also been trapped by the identity of the eldest prince for the past two years, and he has no way to go further. Coupled with the appearance of Lin Jinwen this year, he has lost his mind, acted irritably, and looked a little stupid.

But he is not like Zhou Xiang, who has no brains at all, and is easily used as a gunman.

When he calmed down, there were still some thoughts in his head.Just like now, when old master Wen left so quickly, he felt uneasy.

Old Mrs. Wen's idea will not work for him, and he will definitely go to the palace to find Concubine Xian.

It would be convenient for Concubine Xian to do something to An Zhaoyi and Zhou Kang.

Zhou Rui snorted coldly. He felt that if Mrs. Wen really insisted on doing this, he would want to trap Concubine Xian in injustice.

What's more, now that the emperor is staring at them, if Concubine Xian makes a slight move, he will definitely be caught by the emperor. At that time, Concubine Xian's fate will not be much better than Concubine Shu, and he will also be implicated.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Rui couldn't sit still any longer, he tidied up casually, and went into the palace to see Concubine Xian.

After Zhou Rui entered the palace, he explained his worries to Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian felt that Old Master Wen's words were quite reasonable.

Seeing that Concubine Xian also supported Old Master Wen's opinion, Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "Concubine Mother, think about it carefully, my son is now receiving the favor of his father, and we have to fight it out before my son becomes his prince or even the emperor." You die and live? Can't everything be dealt with after Erchen takes that position?"

"The fifth younger brother is the only good-looking prince in the palace besides me. I don't believe that the emperor doesn't care about the fifth younger brother's life or death at all. If something happens to the fifth younger brother, if the emperor doesn't punish me, I will punish the mother and concubine you. You Look at the current situation of Concubine Shu. Prime Minister Wen is concerned about his own interests. Wen Shiyi was transferred to the capital by his father, but he gave the job of the magistrate of Jingzhou to his grandfather's family. What does this mean? There is dissatisfaction with the Wen family, but not with us."

"I can understand Prime Minister Wen's desire for credit, but I don't agree with doing such absurd things under such a good situation."

Zhou Rui finished his thoughts in one breath. He said so much, but there was only one sentence that touched Concubine Xian, which was about Concubine Shu's fate.

The emperor is a person who is ruthless and unlucky, and Concubine Xian can't understand it best.Zhou Rui saw this very clearly, if something happened, Zhou Rui might be fine, but Concubine Xian would definitely spend it in the cold palace.

Looking at Concubine Shu's fate, one can know the fate of being caught by the emperor.Thinking of the life of those people in Lenggong, Concubine Xian couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

Seeing that Concubine Xian was a little shaken, Zhou Rui continued to cheer up and said, "Concubine Mother, anyway, I don't think we need to take such a risk at all. The most important thing is, even if An Zhaoyi and Fifth Brother have something on their minds, can they escape?" Concubine Mu, your eyes. Besides, when I get to that position, these are nothing to be afraid of."

Concubine Xian did not express her position immediately, she said: "I will think about this matter carefully, and I will discuss it with your grandfather."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Rui was half relieved. Concubine Xian didn't immediately support Mrs. Wen's idea, because she was rather hesitant.Now that Zhou Rui has seen the dawn in the sky, he doesn't want to come up with so many moths at all.

He now wants to know when the emperor will make him the crown prince. Thinking of this, he said to the concubine Xian: "Mother, the emperor has said that he wants to make me the prince for a while, should we ask what the emperor means?" When the time comes, we should prepare in advance.”

Knowing the approximate time in the emperor's mind, they can ask someone to prepare a booklet for the crown prince.At that time, everything will be a matter of course.

After hearing Zhou Rui's words, Concubine Xian glanced at him lightly. Ever since Wang Jin'an revealed the news to him last time, Zhou Rui knew that Wang Jin'an was on their side.Zhou Rui is just not angry, if it wasn't for Concubine Xian's explicit prohibition, he might have contacted Wang Jin'an in private long ago.

Fortunately, Concubine Xian was somewhat dignified in front of Zhou Rui, even if Zhou Rui was like a cat's claw in his heart, he did not dare to show his cards directly with Wang Jin'an.

Concubine Xian knew Zhou Rui's words now that he wanted to inquire about the news. She sighed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said softly: "I have been asking people about this matter. Your father decided his birthday Called that day."

Zhou Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, he said: "Mother Concubine, is this true?"

Concubine Xian said: "Naturally."

Counting the time, Zhou Rui found that the emperor's birthday was only two months away, and when he thought that he would be a legitimate prince by then, Zhou Rui's mood could not only be described as happy.

Concubine Xian felt very helpless when she saw his foolish appearance, she said: "How do you deal with the Wen family's affairs?"

Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "As long as the mother and concubine don't agree to Wen Xiang, Wen Xiang must not be able to stretch his hand too long. After all, this palace is not a place where anyone can play wild."

"Who asked you about Prime Minister Wen?" Concubine Xian said in a slightly cold tone, "I'm asking about the concubine daughter of the Wen family who ruined your reputation."

Zhou Rui was taken aback for a moment, he had forgotten about it these days.Concubine Xian knew from his appearance that he didn't pay much attention to this matter, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "I heard about it, the emperor asked the Wen family to ask your opinion."

Zhou Rui frowned slightly, and he said: "But mother concubine, the Wen family didn't ask the children what they mean." He was a little dissatisfied in his heart, it didn't matter who was right or wrong, since the emperor said so, But he didn't notify him at all, maybe he didn't take him seriously at all.

Concubine Xian said: "The Wen family didn't inform you just because they wanted to deal with this matter quickly. I have been in this palace for so many years, and I am used to seeing sisters who love each other and finally turn against each other because of doting. She is a concubine, and now she is with you. The prince and concubine have the same roots, but they really serve you together, the two of them only have a knot in their heart, but no friendship."

Zhou Rui immediately figured out the meaning of Concubine Xian's words, and he hurriedly asked: "Mother Concubine means to let me keep her?"

"If the timing is right, people can naturally stay, but now the timing is not right, it's better to get rid of it early." Concubine Xian didn't hide her inner thoughts. She was also worried that when Zhou Rui became emperor, the Wen family's power would be too powerful to overwhelm him. own natal family.

It would be great if one more person in Zhou Rui Palace could solve this matter.

It's just that now, Zhou Rui still needs the support of the Wen family, and he can't go too far in everything.

Zhou Rui didn't take Wen Fang very seriously, but when he thought that if Wen Fang had a child of his own, in case it was a boy, it would be a great joy for him.

Now Zhou Rui can somewhat understand the emperor's feelings towards these princes. He thinks how much the emperor treasured him when he was the only prince in the whole palace.

Thinking about this, Zhou Rui felt very sad, and said, "Let's take it easy on the concubine mother."

He will send someone to find out, if Wen Fang is really pregnant, then he will take her back to the mansion, if not, just pretend it never happened.

Concubine Xian looked at Zhou Rui and thought to herself, the emperor's cleverness and viciousness were not inherited by her son, but this ruthlessness and selfishness was completely inherited.

But Concubine Xian just thought about these words in her heart, and she would not say them out, so as not to affect the relationship between mother and child.And no matter what time she was facing Zhou Rui.

Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and said, "I won't stop you from doing whatever you want. Your concubine, concubine, will comfort you for the time being, but you have to give Jing Xian a satisfactory explanation."

Zhou Ruidao: "Mother and concubine don't worry, my son understands."

Concubine Xian nodded.

The two of them had talked for a while, and everything that should be said had been said. It was not good for Zhou Rui to stay in the palace for a long time. When he was about to get up and leave, An Zhaoyi came.

This time, An Zhaoyi did not bring Zhou Kang here. Zhou Kang was ill. On weekdays when Zhou Kang was ill, An Zhaoyi would come to Concubine Xian to ask for something to replenish her body, and this time was no exception.

An Zhaoyi did this to show that she absolutely believed in Concubine Xian, and to reassure Concubine Xian that her Zhou Kang had no intention of competing with Zhou Rui.

Concubine Xian has always admired An Zhaoyi's attitude, and this time is no exception.Especially in this kind of stall where both inside and outside the palace are tense, An Zhaoyi still dares to put Zhou Kang's health in her hands, she is very satisfied in her heart.

Before Zhou Rui left, he silently looked at Concubine Xian. He raised his eyebrows, as if to say, I'm right.How could An Zhaoyi and Zhou Kang escape from their grasp.

Concubine Xian gestured to him, and Zhou Rui left resentfully.

@@@

Lin Jinwen soon found out that the emperor intended to announce Zhou Rui as the crown prince on his birthday.

When the emperor expressed his thoughts, there were not many people in the palace, there were Wang Jin'an, Xiao Rugui, Yuanxiao, and a few little maids.

Although there were only a few people, the news leaked out very quickly.In short, everyone who should know knows it.

Lin Jinwen was not there at the time, and he found out through Xiao Rugui.

However, the palace has been a bit uneasy recently. After Zhou Kang fell ill, the people in the palace seemed to be infected. Then the fourth prince Zhou Rong, who became extremely gloomy because of a broken arm, also fell ill. Not to mention the bad second prince.

It is said that because of this matter, Concubine Qi specially called Lin Wenxiu to the palace to reprimand her, saying that she did not take good care of the second prince.

After the incident spread, everyone said that Concubine Qi was concerned about it, and the second prince was her darling after all. Now that the second prince is sick, doesn't she feel distressed as a mother?

No one thought that Lin Wenxiu was innocent, and no one could stand up for Lin Wenxiu, not even Lin Songren, the Mei family, or Lin Wenjuan.As a royal wife, only she knows how her life is going.

Afterwards, there were still some good sons who brought up this matter in front of Lin Wenjuan. Naturally, they meant to ridicule the Lin family on purpose. So what if Lin Wenxiu became the second prince's side concubine, she was still not taken seriously by Qi Concubine .

Lin Wenjuan wanted to throw the plate and wine glass in their faces, but in the end he didn't do that, but endured it.

At this time, he didn't know why he was a little envious of Lin Jinwen, not to mention whether anyone dared to mention this in front of Lin Jinwen.But if there is, based on his understanding of Lin Jinwen, this person should say such a sentence unceremoniously: Why, the second prince was not sick before getting married?

After hearing this, Concubine Qi couldn't argue with Lin Jinwen even if she was heartbroken from anger.

Lin Jinwen didn't take these matters to heart at all.Regarding Lin Wenxiu's matter, Lin Songren and the others are here, so it's not his turn to take the lead.

Now everyone in the palace is preparing for the emperor's birthday, and the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Households and their Imperial Forest Army are the busiest.

In fact, the Ministry of Households is fortunately in charge of distributing money. The Ministry of Households always loves to cry about being poor, especially when the border and other places are hit by disasters.

But the emperor's birthday budget was 10 taels, and the household department did not dare to give 9000 taels.

The Ministry of Industry set up all kinds of tables, just to make it lively that day.Not to mention the Ministry of Rites, they are responsible for this matter.The imperial forest army has the biggest task, responsible for the safety of large gatherings.

In fact, Lin Jinwen couldn't help with this matter, it was mainly Xiao Rugui's responsibility, and no one, including the emperor, thought of letting him do anything.But Lin Jinwen thought about his current identity and reputation, and felt that he was still wandering around, looking for trouble with those people when he had nothing to do, and giving advice.

Especially the group of people who followed He Fan before, except for Wang Shun, were all made things difficult by Lin Jinwen, especially He Fan, and He Fan's henchman Liu Fu and others.

When this happened, Xiao Rugui, who had a bad relationship with Lin Jinwen, naturally came forward to ask what was going on, and whether Lin Jinwen did it on purpose.

Lin Jinwen said without concealment: "I did it on purpose."

Xiao Rugui frowned, and said with a very gloomy expression: "What does Deputy Commander Lin mean by this?"

He Fan and others saw Xiao Rugui's expression and knew that he was angry.

Lin Jinwen was also very angry. He sneered and said, "What do I mean? Commander Xiao should ask them what they mean. When my husband was about to give birth, the people in our house asked these guards to inform me. What did they do? Fortunately, my husband and child are safe, otherwise I would have skinned them today."

When He Fan heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Vice Commander Lin, what you did is too much. You are avenging your own personal revenge. Besides, the guards at the gate of the palace were not people like us. After such a long time, why are you venting your anger on us?"

"I know it's not you people." Lin Jinwen took it for granted, "But in the palace, at the Imperial Forest Army, you people have problems with me. If I don't look for you, who will I look for?"

"You...you are simply making trouble for no reason." He Fan's head was almost smoking with anger. He always thought that Lin Jinwen was sinister enough, but he didn't expect to refresh his lower limit every time.

It was so disgusting.

Speaking of which, the guards at the palace gate did have a good relationship with him.He was also the first to receive the news at that time. According to the regulations, no one would say his fault if he didn't report.

Nothing happened for so many days, he thought that Lin Jinwen would take the blame for being dumb.Unexpectedly, Lin Jinwen took the opportunity to attack them, and he was so arrogant and domineering.

After hearing this, Xiao Rugui's expression became even more gloomy. He said, "Deputy Commander Lin, don't you think you've gone too far? You didn't investigate the guard's mistakes, but you just wanted to trouble He Fan and the others. You did this on purpose. of."

Lin Jinwen said: "I did it on purpose. If Commander Xiao wants to share the worries of his subordinates, he should tell the emperor."

"You..." For a moment He Fan was very impulsive, wanting to go up and beat him up.

Xiao Rugui grabbed his hand at the first time, and he said to He Fan and the others: "You go back first, I will discuss this matter with Deputy Commander Lin."

He Fan wanted to say something else, Xiao Rugui glared at him, He Fan gave Lin Jinwen a deadly look, and left angrily.

After everyone around had left, Xiao Rugui raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Jinwen.

Lin Jinwen said in a brisk tone: "Let's fight in front of the emperor. You stand up for the brothers, and I will bully others in front of the emperor."

"You want the emperor to confirm that we are not on good terms after you have come full circle?" Xiao Rugui asked.

Lin Jinwen nodded, and said, "Don't you think the capital is too quiet recently as the emperor's birthday is getting closer?"

Xiao Rugui naturally felt this way. Since the emperor revealed that he announced the establishment of the crown prince on his birthday, he would either establish Zhou Rui or Zhou Kang.

It will definitely be a bloodbath, what he doesn't understand is what kind of role Lin Jinwen is going to play in it.

Lin Jinwen said: "Let's go to the emperor to quarrel first, and you will know the rest on the same day."

Xiao Rugui hummed, and the two of them walked towards the Qianqing Hall while talking.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Rugui and Lin Jinwen hurt each other and went to the emperor for comment.

The emperor felt a headache when he saw the two of them. He knew that Xiao Rugui was not a person who would complain easily. If Lin Jinwen hadn't gone too far, he would definitely not have done so.

But seeing Lin Jinwen's angry appearance, the emperor finally favored him and asked him to apologize, so the matter was over.

When He Fan and the others heard the emperor's verdict, they almost fainted out of breath.Especially when Lin Jinwen apologized with such a weird attitude, he felt that he was not accepting an apology, but an insult. ,

The fact that Lin Jinwen had won the Sacred Heart spread from the palace again, and everyone who heard it felt numb.

People's hearts are not right, and there are problems in the world.

Lin Jinwen was like a shit-stirring stick, messing up the capital.But in this way, Zhou Rui and others focused their attention on him, while many people ignored Zhou Kang.

After Lin Jinwen and Xiao Rugui quarreled once, they focused on Lin Zaozao's full moon ceremony.

When the capital began to change, Lin Zaozao finally had a full moon.
