"This is a small matter." The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an, "If you want to see Xuan'er, it is not impossible. According to your father's wishes, as long as Xuan'er agrees to announce the death of his concubine Gu Chang'an, you can see Xuan'er."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that." Lin Shangde and Feng Zhengmin said in unison.
"No." The Fourth Prince and the First Prince seconded the motion at the same time.
Lin Shangde said, "Empress Dowager, we need to wait until the Emperor is found and wakes up before we can discuss this matter.
This move can only damage the reputation of the prince and is really a discredit to the prince.
If this is really the case, how will the prince convince the people in the future? Who among the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world has no eyes and no mouth?
Furthermore, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Chang'an must enter the harem. If he has a child in the future, will he be allowed to live under the gossip of others?"
Chang'an lowered his head and no one could see his expression.
"Minister Lin," Feng Zhengmin said deliberately, "you are really considering the long-term future for the Crown Prince. Right now he is only the Crown Prince and has not yet inherited the throne. You have also considered that in the future, the women in the harem will have children."
"Of course." Lin Shangde said as if it was a matter of course. "It is inevitable that the Crown Prince will succeed the Emperor. Besides, hasn't the Emperor already issued an edict? However, I, this old minister, absolutely cannot agree to allowing Princess Xuan to re-enter the Crown Prince's residence. Does Prime Minister Feng think it is okay?"
"A frank person doesn't mince words," Feng Zhengmin said. "You and I have always been at odds. Prime Minister Lin is well aware of my attitude towards the Crown Prince. So, the Crown Prince's proposal to let me take a look is fine."
"Hmph!" Prime Minister Lin was annoyed. "Being praised and approved of by your opponent is definitely something you will feel bad about."
"..." Chang'an lowered his head and agreed in his heart that Prime Minister Lin was still Prime Minister Lin after all.
Chang'an understood that Prime Minister Lin was thinking about him.
Thinking that the Queen Mother was still being controlled by someone, she looked up.
I found her thinking. I thought that the person who controlled the Queen Mother behind the scenes must have heard what Minister Lin said. "Minister Lin is right."
Feng Zhengmin was stunned, but deep down, he didn't want Chang'an to enter the prince's mansion. If so, the prince would undoubtedly get the support of the Southern Emperor.
At this point, Feng Zhengmin and Lin Shangde seem to have a good understanding of each other.
The cooperation last time in the Royal Enclosure was considered good.
Chang'an discovered that whenever the spearhead was directed at the prince, Prime Minister Lin would cooperate with Feng Zhengmin. Of course, Prime Minister Lin's point of view would make people clearly see that he was thinking about the prince.
After all, he is the prince's teacher.
But when did he start to change? Chang'an knew that Prime Minister Lin's hatred for the prince began from the moment he learned of his daughter's death. Before that, it was probably because he was dissatisfied with the prince's character.
"Alright." The Queen Mother looked at everyone, "Master Li, please go and invite Prince Xuan here first. After all, he is Minister Lin, and he always considers the Crown Prince."
"Chang'an, come to the Empress Dowager quickly."
"..." Chang'an was surprised, especially when he saw the love between the empress dowager's eyebrows and eyes, which was so obvious.
Why the sudden change in style?
Why?
Could it be that the person who controls the Queen Mother suddenly encountered an accident and couldn't control it?
"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an in a daze, then looked at everyone, only to see that everyone looked a little strange.
"Grandma..." Chang'an walked cautiously to the side of the Empress Dowager, "Just don't force Chang'an anymore."
“…” The Empress Dowager was stunned.
Obviously, everyone noticed that something was wrong with the Queen Mother.
Chang'an had doubts in his mind, not knowing where the problem lay. That was because he still didn't understand puppetry.
At the very least, I don't know where the person who practices puppetry is, how far away he is from the person being practiced, and whether he can perceive the situation here.
"After all, the Crown Prince is the heir apparent," the Queen Mother said, her brow furrowed. "Forget it, I'm old, I don't want to worry about this anymore. It's more important to find the Emperor first. Why did he disappear for no reason?"
"Grandmother, are you feeling unwell?" Bei Mingye asked tentatively, "You look very tired, my grandson."
"It's not a big deal," the Queen Mother said. "You can recommend a suitable candidate to find the Emperor. This matter must not be spread to anyone else."
No one spoke for a moment.
"Prince Xuan is here." Someone outside shouted.
Bei Mingxuan came to the imperial study, followed closely by Manager Li.
"Grandson, I'm honored to meet the Empress Dowager." Bei Mingxuan was about to kneel down.
"No need to bow," the Queen Mother said, "Sit down quickly."
At this time, of all the people in the room, only the Queen Mother was sitting, and everyone else was standing.
Following the Queen Mother's words, everyone's eyes turned to Bei Mingxuan.
Manager Li, who came in behind Bei Mingxuan, looked at the Queen Mother with surprise, then walked towards the Queen Mother silently and stood beside her.
"After all, this prison is a bit dark." Manager Li said with a distressed look, "I'm afraid Prince Xuan's health will suffer."
"Xuan'er." The Queen Mother's face was full of heartache. "What do you think?"
"Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern." Bei Mingxuan said, "My grandson is fine. As long as Chang'an is safe, that's all that matters."
The Queen Mother glanced at Chang'an and said, "My child, for no reason you have been burdened with the saying that beauty is the root of trouble."
Chang'an was slightly stunned, then lowered her head without saying anything, but secretly thought in her heart that this was the empress dowager she was familiar with.
"Alright." The Queen Mother then looked towards the crowd, "Xiao Chengzi, move the stools."
"Yes." Eunuch Cheng had been kneeling on the ground for quite a while.
I stood up, and suddenly my knees felt weak.
Changan was quick to support him, "Eunuch Cheng, please go slowly. The ground is cold. Kneeling for so long will inevitably hurt your knees."
The moment Chang'an supported Eunuch Cheng, Eunuch Cheng felt a gentle warm current slowly spreading throughout his body from the place where Chang'an was supporting him.
He knew that Chang'an was using his internal strength to help him.
His previous master, Nangong Qiuya, was nice to him, but there was still a difference compared to Chang'an.
What's more, she has been hiding in the palace for so many years and has long been accustomed to seeing the fickleness of human nature and the cold-heartedness of people who flee when disaster strikes.
In Fusheng Sect, Chang'an is the high and mighty leader of the sect.
In the South, Chang'an is the crown prince.
At this moment, in front of him, Chang'an was the dignified Princess Xuan, while he was a slave, a eunuch, a castrated man.
Eunuch Cheng limped away from Chang'an. At this moment, tears welled up in his eyes. "Thank you, Princess Xuan. I'm fine."
"Eunuch Cheng, you've lost the Emperor, and now the Empress Dowager just asked you to kneel down, yet you're putting on such a pretentious show!" Everyone understood what the eldest prince was thinking. Without the Emperor, it was very likely that the Crown Prince would succeed to the throne.
He was so angry that his eyebrows were about to burn.
