Weiyang Palace.
Xiao Hanyi was sitting there in his casual clothes. Guo Xiner had survived a disaster and now everything seemed poisonous to her.
"Your Majesty, I am terrified. I don't know who in this palace wants to kill me," Guo Xiner said softly, looking frightened.
Xiao Hanyi rubbed his brows. Indeed, it was impossible to guard against it!
I don’t know how the investigation by the Ministry of Punishment is going. Concubine Heng... He fell into deep thought. Could it be Concubine Heng?
At this moment, looking at Guo Xiner's appearance, he was also vaguely worried. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Xiao Hanyi's face grew darker and darker. He wasn't afraid of a royal scandal, so he dared to investigate so openly. At worst, it would be recorded in history books that the Southern Liang royal family killed their fathers and brothers to fight for power, and the concubines used all means to win favor, and many princesses and princes died in the womb...
So what? He doesn't want praise from future generations. He wants to create a prosperous era. But if these dirty things in the palace are not eliminated, how can he be at ease with the previous dynasty, and his eldest prince must not get into trouble.
He had the idea of appointing a crown prince as soon as possible.
"Tyrant father, my mother almost died today, and I wouldn't be able to survive either. They are so crazy, they are just greedy for the position of crown prince. Anyway, the crown prince in your heart is the eldest prince, so maybe it would be better if you appointed him as the crown prince sooner."
"Now that the crown prince has been appointed, the birth of another prince won't pose a threat to them. Yeah, that's a good idea."
Xiao Hanyi felt relieved. It seemed that he and this little kid were in perfect sync with each other!
"Oh," he sighed softly and held Guo Xiner's hand, "Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter. No matter who I find out, I will never show any leniency."
Guo Xiner nodded. She had no other choice but to trust Xiao Hanyi.
Xiao Hanyi said again, "There is something I want you to do."
Guo Xiner looked at him seriously. What could she do?
I was confused.
"When you go to pay your respects to the Queen, accidentally tell her that I intend to make the eldest prince the Crown Prince." Xiao Hanyi thought for a moment and emphasized, "Remember, it has to be accidental. Do you understand?"
Guo Xiner thought about it and then nodded.
[This mission is quite interesting. I accidentally revealed it. I am really curious about what my mother will say to the Queen. I am really looking forward to it.]
......
Pepper Room Palace.
"Empress, Concubine Guo requests an audience," Nanny Liu reported.
Queen Wang frowned. What was Concubine Guo doing here? She was already feeling annoyed and didn't want to see her.
Seeing Queen Wang's expression, Nanny Liu stepped forward and advised, "Concubine Guo is here at this time, maybe there is something. Your Majesty should meet her."
"Go ahead," Queen Wang nodded.
"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress," Guo Xiner knelt down and saluted.
Queen Wang gave her a light support and said, "Sister, please get up quickly. You are pregnant now, so don't be so polite." She then looked at Nanny Liu and said, "Bring the tea."
Guo Xiner kept a perfect smile on her face. When she saw Nanny Liu leave and only she and Queen Wang were left in the hall, she said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. I heard from the Emperor that he wants to make the eldest prince the crown prince."
What?
Queen Wang's heart moved. What had Concubine Guo just said? She put down the teacup in her hand. Years of self-control prevented her from losing her composure.
[Oh my god, this was an unintentional revelation? This, this is so direct?]
Xiao Jiayun was speechless. He really had seen things clearly.
[Mother, you are so majestic, hahahaha, you don’t listen to the tyrant father’s words at all]
Guo Xiner said, "The eldest prince is a man of noble character and he is the eldest legitimate son. It is popular wish that he be made the crown prince."
Queen Wang suppressed her joy. Nanny Liu brought tea and said, "Sister, try it quickly. This is the best Longjing tea."
The two smiled at each other.
Queen Wang was in a very good mood at the moment as her long-cherished wish finally came true. She couldn't believe how it could be so smooth, but she also knew that Guo Xiner would never dare to joke about such a thing.
"The emperor said that he would issue an edict after the eldest prince chose a concubine and got married."
"It's not the time to say it clearly now. The envoys from Northern Liang will come in July. They may ask for a princess in marriage. We can ask for the decree after the matter between the two countries is settled. Besides, we also need to train the eldest prince again," Guo Xiner repeated Xiao Hanyi's words.
Guo Xiner picked up the tea, drank it, and looked embarrassed, "I have something to ask for your help, Your Majesty."
"Sister, what are you talking about? What do you mean by helping or not helping? We are all sisters serving the emperor. Just say whatever you want to say."
As long as the crown prince's position belongs to the eldest prince, she will help in any way she can.
Guo Xiner said embarrassedly, "The Emperor asked me to tell Your Majesty about the appointment of the Crown Prince. He has instructed me to accidentally reveal it to Your Majesty, but I don't know how to do it."
Queen Wang laughed in her heart. Is Guo Xiner really so cute?
[Mother, my tyrant father asked you to be more tactful, to be more tactful, and even to accidentally reveal that these are your exact words, not a single word is wrong.]
Xiao Jiayun originally wanted to see how the ancients passed messages without leaving any trace, but it turned out that they were even more direct than her.
"If the emperor asks, please help me, Your Majesty," Guo Xiner said sincerely, as if she was really begging Queen Wang.
For a moment, Queen Wang couldn't figure out whether Guo Xiner was really such a person.
If she is not scheming, there is no harm in keeping her. Even if there is no Guo Xiner, there will still be Li Xiner and Zhao Xiner.
Xiao Hanyi is in her prime, and there will only be more and more people in the harem, so her mind is no longer on this.
Queen Wang looked grateful and said, "Of course. There's no reason for me to take responsibility for this. Sister, please come and visit me often in the future."
"Alas, such a thing happened in this palace. It's all because I was too lenient to you. Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound. If anything happened to you, how could I live with myself?"
Queen Wang spoke sincerely.
Guo Xiner also sighed. She knew that Queen Wang was talking about someone poisoning her pastries. Xiao Hanyi had already ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, so she couldn't say anything more.
The two chatted about some family matters, and when they saw that it was almost time, Guo Xiner stood up and said goodbye.
Guo Xiner left the Pepper Palace and met the Second Prince on the way back to Weiyang Palace.
The second prince was delighted and stepped forward to pay his respects, “Greetings to Mother Guo.”
What is this idiot busy with? Concubine Heng is under house arrest, so why is he so happy?
kindness?
House arrest?
What happened? The Second Prince's heart suddenly sank. If someone hadn't committed a serious mistake in the palace, they wouldn't be confined. What on earth had happened to deserve such a serious punishment? He panicked for a moment.
Guo Xiner smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. If you have time, go see your mother."
The second prince took the opportunity to ask, "I heard that my mother was under house arrest. What did she do wrong? My mother has a straightforward personality and a kind heart."
Guo Xiner was thinking about how to tell him.
Xiao Jiayun spoke.
She instructed Nanny Sun to poison my mother's cakes. Unfortunately, the cakes were eaten by Madam Wei, who died.
[That cake was almost eaten by Tyrant Daddy]
Boom! Poison?!
The second prince’s brain is not enough.
