Chapter 456

"But they said it was for the prince."

As soon as she heard that it was for the prince, the virtuous imperial concubine hurriedly said, "please come in quickly. What are you doing?"

Chu Zhi had been to the imperial concubine Xian several times before. She was familiar with the palace people in her palace. In addition, she was generous and waited for the vacancy called by the imperial concubine Xian outside with Han Zhan. She had learned that the prince had just left.

The palace man also said, "the prince has a dispute with our empress. At present, the empress is angry. The princess should be careful to answer."

Chu Zhi knew it. I'm afraid the prince had a conflict with the virtuous imperial concubine for that position.

He said thank you to the palace man and gave the money. The palace man blushed and didn't ask for it, and Chu Zhi didn't force it.

As soon as the palace man left, imperial concubine Xian sent someone to invite Chu Zhi and Han Zhan in.

The virtuous imperial concubine cheered up in front of her: "little Marquis, why are you free to enter the palace today."

Han Zhan smiled very naturally: "if you go back to your mother, Weichen comes to accompany Zhizhi."

If usual, virtuous imperial concubine might tease Chu Zhi for a word or two, but she really doesn't have that strength at present.

He asked directly, "are you here for the prince?"

Chu Zhi saw that the spirit of the virtuous imperial concubine was poor and her complexion was very poor, so he knew that he didn't talk well with the crown prince.

She thought a little: "madam, could you hold your back?"

The virtuous imperial concubine winked at mother Zhong. Mother Zhong went down to treat others, and there were only three of them left in the hall.

"Well, what happened to the prince?"

Chu Zhi sighed: "I hope the empress doesn't get angry. It's like this. I promised the empress that I would support the prince to sit in that position, but now the prince refuses again and again and specially comes to consult the empress."

"It's not up to him!" the virtuous imperial concubine said coldly. "The palace has worked hard for so long to make him sit in that position. If he says he doesn't want to, he won't want to. Where does he put all his years of hard work in the palace?"

This

Chu Zhi and Han Zhan looked at each other. They seemed to have overlooked a problem. Because of the preconceived concept, they thought that the virtuous imperial concubine took out her heart and lungs for the crown prince. But what if the ultimate purpose of the virtuous imperial concubine's kindness to the crown prince was to let the crown Prince ascend the throne and control the government?

Chu Zhi immediately denied the idea.

He said: "I know that the empress has paid a lot for the crown prince. The empress's love for the crown prince is real. Even the princess can't compare with the position of the crown prince. It's a good thing that the empress wants the crown prince to sit in that position. As the empress said, that was originally the position of the crown prince, but now the crown prince doesn't want that position. I think the empress needs to know the character of the crown prince better than me. He said that more than once I want to live a carefree life when wild cranes travel all over the world. Since my mother loves the crown prince, what he really wants is. After all, my mother should really worry about the feeling of the crown prince. "

Hearing Chu Zhi's words, the virtuous imperial concubine was furious: "why? Did you all come to teach our palace a lesson today? Did you think it was our palace's mistake? His Xiao Yichen was hard and could not have the throne, but I can't watch him die. You should understand better than me that his loss of the crown prince means death. He has no choice at all!"

Chu Zhi said, "that's because we all think that the only one who can sit in that position is the fourth prince, but what if the fourth prince can't?"

"Who is not the prince?" the virtuous imperial concubine sneered. "Is it your little Marquis?"

Han Zhan, who was named, quickly waved his hand: "don't, don't, don't say that. Where does Weichen have that ability?"

He got up earlier than a chicken, slept later than a dog, and lived more tired than a cow. When he was full, he became an emperor.

The virtuous imperial concubine sneered: "you really don't have one, so you make a straw bag. It's only suitable for mixed eating and waiting to die."

Han Zhan, who was scolded, didn't care. He touched his nose: "I think what the imperial concubine said is very true. It's also a blessing for people like me to eat and die."

At this time, Han Zhan can't help but sigh. What virtue did he accumulate in his last life? When he was reborn in the Marquis house, he didn't have to study hard to get fame, let alone practice martial arts to fight the enemy. He just needed to be a carefree dandy. He didn't dare to think about what a good immortal life. Where did he get his blessing!

Han Zhan's proud expression made her swallow what she said.

She looked at Han Zhan for a while and suddenly didn't laugh at him.

"I have never seen such a brazen and shameless person as you. It's the first time to say that you don't want to make progress."

After this interruption, the anger of the virtuous imperial concubine also disappeared, and the whole person was much milder.

When Han Zhan saw Chu Zhi, he winked at her and motioned her to continue.

Chu Zhi eased his tone and said in a warm voice: "Madam, the crown prince is the most affectionate and well-informed person. He can take the initiative to tell you that he has no intention of succession. He must be thoughtful and has no room for maneuver. In that case, why don't you complete the crown prince? Although I don't have deep contacts with the crown prince, I know that the crown prince doesn't like life in the palace. If you have to push the crown prince to a high position, it's equivalent to locking the eagle in a cage In the, those waiting for the eagle only need the endless suffering and pain, and... "

Chu Zhi said and paused here, "Let me say something disrespectful. If the first queen is here, I may not want to see you and the prince like this. Although I have not seen the first queen, they all say that the first queen is a very gentle and kind person. The people praise the first queen countless. I think such a generous empress certainly doesn't want the prince to do what she doesn't like. After all, being a mother is the most important thing I want my children to be healthy, safe and smooth. That's enough. "

Hearing Chu Zhi talking about empress Rende, the virtuous imperial concubine's eyes flashed slightly, and the expression on her face changed.

After Chu Zhi finished speaking for a long time, the virtuous imperial concubine sneered: "although this palace has exempted your gift, you can call yourself 'I' in front of this palace, but you are so bold that you dare to criticize even the first queen."

"Empress Mingjian, I'm not criticizing, but praising. After all, everyone knows that empress empress empress is an excellent person. I really respect her."

"When you say that the first queen is tolerant, you are changing your way to say that the palace is aggressive!"

Chu Zhi said with a smile, "my mother misunderstood. You just care and mess. It shows that you put your Highness the prince in your heart!"

The virtuous imperial concubine sneered: "this palace underestimated you. You have always been eloquent and have a bright tongue. Naturally, you can say black as white."

Chu Zhi did not defend or admit it, but smiled and stopped talking.

That's enough. If you say it again, it will certainly annoy the virtuous imperial concubine and stop everything.

But Chu Zhi knew that Yin Guifei listened.

Sure enough, after half a ring, the virtuous imperial concubine asked, "you said you could sit in that position, in addition to the four princes, there are other princes. Do you have a candidate?"

If so, can it also be explained that Chu Zhi and Han Zhan have already selected someone when they see that the prince is gone, and secretly persuaded the prince to come back to her as a water class? If so, the Zhongyong Hou house harbors evil intentions!

Thinking of this, the virtuous imperial concubine glanced at the bottom of her eyes.

Her crown prince may not want the throne, but he cannot be bullied.

"We don't know about going back to the empress," Chu Zhi smiled and said, "this was mentioned by the crown prince, but we don't know who the crown prince likes in his heart. Now we come to ask the empress. Thinking that the empress has a close relationship with his highness, we will know one or two. This is also the purpose of our entering the palace today."

"You said you didn't know?"

"Exactly."

Yin Guifei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was worried too much.

"I'll ask the crown prince about it," said the virtuous imperial concubine. "There's just one thing to ask. What if there's no suitable candidate? If the fourth Prince takes that position, do you think about the situation of the crown prince?"

Remembering the end of the prince's early death in his previous life, Chu Zhi really couldn't guarantee it.

But in her previous life, she also married Gu Changyan. In that case, she believed that the prince would not have an accident.

Besides, she has long promised to protect the prince no matter what happens.

Chu Zhi was about to speak, so he heard Han Zhan say, "can you allow me to discuss with my mother alone at this time?"

The virtuous imperial concubine looked at Chu Zhi and was surprised to see that Chu Zhi also looked at Han Zhan. Obviously, she didn't know what Han Zhan was going to say.

He nodded: "naturally."

Han Zhan whispered to Chu Zhi, "Zhizhi, wait for me outside first."

Chu Zhi smiled: "OK, I'll wait for you outside."

Chu Zhi probably waited for two cups of tea, and Han Zhan finally came out.

"It's all right." Han Zhan smiled when he saw Chu Zhi's first face. "Don't worry, it's over."

"What did you say to the virtuous imperial concubine?" Chu Zhi was curious.

"You don't have to ask. In short, you know it's done."

Seeing Han Zhan's decision not to say, Chu Zhi didn't ask, but a strange feeling rose in his heart.

She smiled, "it doesn't hurt."

Han Zhan refused. He looked at Chu Zhi: "aren't you curious? Don't you ask?"

He has a little secret about squeak, but squeak doesn't care at all.

Why?

Does Zhizhi really don't matter, or does he care about his concealment because Zhizhi doesn't care about him at all?

"Zhizhi, don't you love me at all!"

Chu Zhiyuan thought Han Zhan was playing with her again. He was about to tease him. Seeing that he looked wrong, he asked, "how could he suddenly ask?"

"You don't even ask me what I'm hiding from you. If you care about me, you'll be unhappy to ask me." just as he doesn't like to tell him things.

Chu Zhi was funny: "if I asked you, would you say?"

Han Zhan shook his head.

"That's it." Chu Zhi didn't have anything at all, but I don't know why. He was annoyed by Han Zhan's two words. "I asked you. You can't tell me. Why should I ask? What's more, you hid me. I didn't say you. You're okay to talk to me?"

"But that's different!" Han Zhan hurriedly said, "you asked me not to say, and you didn't ask me not to say, that's two different concepts!"
