sick princess

"Today, Concubine Mother seems to be in a good mood?"

The dinner table was filled with the favorite dishes of the masters.

The Seventh Prince looked at Concubine Zhou with a loving face, and there was a sense of relief on his small face.

"That's natural... Your prince's elder brother defeated the King of Yunnan who had a heart of disobedience to my Great Xia, and the mother and concubine naturally felt at ease."

The Crown Prince has won, how can Concubine Zhou really be so happy?

The Seventh Prince frowned, a small teacup was constantly twirling in his hand.

Why doesn't he remember that Concubine Zhou is such a person who understands righteousness?Among them, there must be something weird!

"The second prince is still not free today?" Concubine Zhou's sweet smile faded a little when her eyes touched the vacant chair of the second prince, and there was an unknown emotion in her beautiful eyes.

The maids serving around silently lowered their heads a little: "Reporting to my master, Her Royal Highness is not feeling well today, and the Second Highness is now accompanying Her Royal Highness in the mansion."

"Good! Very good! First, I violated my will and married a woman who was not on the stage. Now, because of this woman, even my Changchun Palace rarely comes! What a heartless white-eyed wolf, Married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother. How could this palace give birth to such a thing!"

Concubine Zhou now gets angry when she mentions the second prince.

Once upon a time, the second prince was the most proud and beloved eldest son of Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Zhou devoted countless efforts to the second prince.Even later, Concubine Zhou discovered that the second prince's qualifications were mediocre, and it was difficult to become a great talent, but after all, he was the son who had spoiled him for so many years, how could he let go of him for a while?

Concubine Zhou couldn't let go of the second prince, but unexpectedly, the second prince was very willing to part with Concubine Zhou, and even broke with Concubine Zhou for the sake of a woman.The second concubine is just the daughter of a junior official of the sixth or seventh rank, how can Concubine Zhou like it?Even now, Concubine Zhou no longer has any expectations for the second prince's ascension, and instead cultivates the seventh prince, but in the eyes of Concubine Zhou, her son should still marry a girl with all four corners as his wife—— To be dignified and beautiful, with a good temper, the father must be at least a member of the third rank or above.

The daughter of a petty official is obviously not within the scope of Concubine Zhou's choice of daughter-in-law.However, the second prince fell in love with her like a demon, even to the point of not marrying Feiqing.For that vixen, the second prince even begged to Emperor Zhaode.Emperor Zhaode thought it was not a big deal, so he agreed, and Concubine Zhou had no choice but to recognize her daughter-in-law.

May I ask, how could Concubine Zhou be pleasing to the Second Prince's Concubine?Even if she can't stop this marriage, she still has to give the second princess some color, as the second prince's revenge for destroying their mother-child relationship - it's really easy for a mother-in-law to embarrass her daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that the second concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp.That most is a woman who can clearly distinguish between likes and hates, people respect her one foot, and others respect her ten feet.If people want to manipulate her... Hehe, I'm sorry.

Later, Concubine Zhou discovered that as long as she let the second prince and concubine set the rules, the second prince would not give her a good look for several days in a row, and even the day when the mother and son shared meals, the second prince would not be able to shirk it. Stay in the mansion outside the palace to accompany the Second Prince—just like this time.

"This scoundrel!" Concubine Zhou cursed, but she was very unwilling in her heart.The second prince was originally very obedient, but he was instigated by the second prince's concubine to become estranged from her. How could this make her calm?

Back then, even if she was desperate, she should have stopped Emperor Zhaode from ordering that vixen to her son!

Concubine Zhou Gui made up her mind that when the prince's party was defeated this time, she would free up her hands to get rid of this scourge!

The fifth princess, Ji Qinghan, couldn't see Concubine Zhou's attitude the most.

Others don't know why the second prince is so divorced from Concubine Zhou, how can she not know?

Isn't it because her good mother and concubine gave up on them first, and they gave up on her?

Looking at the dishes on the table, Ji Qinghan showed a weird smile.Look, after all these years, her good mother and concubine don't even know what she likes to eat.Since she was imprisoned in the royal temple, her taste has changed, but unfortunately, her good mother and concubine didn't care about it, and she still gave her the dishes she liked before.

Concubine Zhou always thought that she could control the people and things around her in her own hands, but it turned out that she couldn't even control their hearts.

The fifth princess put down the bowls and chopsticks heavily: "I'm full, mother and concubine eat slowly."

Immediately, without waiting for Concubine Zhou to speak, she walked away, leaving behind Concubine Zhou stunned.

Originally, this banquet was held to celebrate the success of the prince's calculation.Now, with one son and one daughter disobeying her so much, Concubine Zhou was so angry that she lost all mood: "These two things are becoming more and more outrageous now. In their eyes, there is still this concubine, this palace!"

The Seventh Prince tugged at Concubine Zhou's sleeve: "Concubine Mother, Sister Fifth Huang has been feeling uncomfortable recently, and I think she is in a bad mood. Why do you bother with her?"

It’s okay if I don’t say this, but once I said it, the fire in Concubine Zhou’s heart burned even hotter: “Is this palace her concubine mother or is she my concubine mother? Do you want to endure her and let her go? There is such a reason in the world!"

"Forget it, I just pretend that these two bad things never happened before." Concubine Zhou turned her gaze back to the Seventh Prince, with a gentle and loving expression on her face: "Fortunately, I still have Xiao Qi by my side. Xiaoqi is smart and obedient, filial and sensible, she will not be like your royal brother and sister, who will always anger me."

"That's natural." The seventh prince showed a cute smile at Concubine Zhou.

He would not intentionally anger Concubine Zhou, but would kill Concubine Zhou!

Although the late Concubine Shu never gave birth, the seventh prince regarded her as his biological mother; although Concubine Zhou gave birth to three children, in the end, she was alone and had nothing.

This is the Seventh Prince's revenge on her!

The fifth princess has been in a bad mood recently, and she is about to reach a critical point - there is a calm demonstration by Princess Pingning outside, and there is Concubine Zhou picking her nose and eyes. Thinking about it, it is time for the fifth princess to take action.The seventh prince has kept the fifth princess hidden from Concubine Zhou for so long, if the fifth princess doesn't make a fuss, the seventh prince will be disappointed.

Fortunately, the fifth princess never disappoints in this regard.

On the second day after the fifth princess had a conflict with Concubine Zhou, she did a big thing—she had a dispute with Princess Pingning for some reason. During the fight, she scratched Princess Pingning's chest Face!

Is Princess Pingning easy to provoke?Obviously not.

Princess Pingning is the eldest granddaughter of Prince Rong. Prince Rong is quite important in the clan. Even Emperor Zhaode would respectfully call him "Uncle Emperor".

Now, the elderly prince came to the palace in person and asked Empress Xu to give an explanation for the fifth princess's injury. Empress Xu must handle it impartially. , there is no need to protect them.

Although Concubine Zhou knew that the fifth princess was a bit extreme and had some thoughts about Lan Chengyu, so she was at odds with Princess Pingning, but she never thought that the fifth princess would do this.

If possible, Concubine Zhou really wanted to pry open the head of the Fifth Princess to see what was inside, but she would be so stupid as to ruin Princess Pingning's face in public!

As the fifth princess caused troubles for Concubine Zhou Gui, Concubine Zhou didn't have much maternal love for the fifth princess.It's a pity that it's the matter of mother and daughter, the fifth princess, and it's not something she can just ignore.This time, Princess Pingning was disfigured by the fifth princess, but some people outside speculated that it was Concubine Zhou who instigated it!

Dealing with this matter took up a lot of Concubine Zhou's energy, which prevented her from discovering something wrong in this battle in time.

Later, when the Zhou family was uprooted by Emperor Zhaode because of this mistake, Concubine Zhou regretted it unceasingly. Why didn't she see that all of this was his scheme?

……

On the battlefield, the prince and the deputy general led the army to fight and retreat, calmly and not in a panic.

The lieutenant general sighed: "Fortunately, His Highness has the foresight to guess that the King of Yunnan will not easily admit defeat, and will definitely set up an ambush to wait for us. Otherwise, we may have been dazzled by the series of victories at this time, and we will suffer heavy casualties. "

This is the first time for the prince to go to the battlefield, but he is calm and calm. In him, he can't see the young man's impetuosity and eagerness for quick success.

I saw an arrow feather clinging to his slender and white fingers, and said: "The king of Yunnan has seen this man before. He is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The father showed weakness so that the father could relax his vigilance against him. No matter how weak he appears, Gu will not believe it."

The crown prince will never forget the expression that the king of Yunnan, who was still the eldest son, was entrusted to the capital when the previous king of Yunnan passed away. Such a forbearing, deep expression is not like that of a heartless half-grown boy. of.

Accidents happened in the palace, and blood seal throats were frequently seen. Although there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the king of Yunnan, seeing that blood seal throats was born in Yunnan and Guizhou after all made the prince wary of this place.

Now it seems that his guess is right, but he is not happy about it.

If the king of Yunnan has been hiding his secrets and colluding with the people in the palace all this time, is his mother, queen and younger sister still safe now?

The prince looked at what was intercepted in his hand, and saw the blood-sealed throat arrow, with a serious expression on his face.

The deputy general at the side didn't know what the prince was thinking. Seeing the prince was so worried, he said with relief: "Although the emperor is sick due to unacceptable water and soil, it is only temporary. The medicinal materials we need will be delivered immediately. The emperor is Son of Heaven, such a small disease cannot defeat the emperor."

"When the emperor's dragon body recovers, we can regroup and continue to attack the king of Yunnan, a traitor."

Hearing this, the prince just sighed and didn't speak.

Although he didn't like Emperor Zhaode, and even wished that Emperor Zhaode would die quickly, he also knew that Emperor Zhaode should not die in a place like the front line.

It's just that he has a hunch that this matter is not that simple.

Sure enough, within a few days, Emperor Zhaode's condition worsened.General Zhou, who was supposed to feel these few days, didn't even have a shadow.

Emperor Zhaode didn't have enough medicinal materials to treat his illness, and the army's food and grass began to be tight.
