There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 120 I'm too lazy to help you
"The queen mother calm down, in fact, I can't blame Gou Shiren!"

"Who would have thought that my good emperor brother still has two hands ready! No wonder he stayed at Gou Shiren's place for so many days with peace of mind. It turned out that the soldiers went in two ways!"

While comforting her mother, Xia Houyan gritted her teeth and showed a cold look in her eyes.

The queen took two mouthfuls of tea, took off her phoenix robe and lay down on the soft couch, frowning and rubbing her temples.

"I know the prince is cunning, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He can even come up with such a perfect plan!"

"And about your father taking medicine, how did he know?" The queen's face was heavy.

I knew that the prince's mind was impure, but I didn't expect him to be so wary of their mother and son.

"It seems that in the future, we have to take precautions," the queen said sharply.

"There must be something wrong, but it's not important, you are also thinking about your father's body, aren't you?"

The queen waved her sleeves: "Of course, it's all about the medicine."

"It's just that disaster relief needs to be done ruthlessly, otherwise, when he gets credit, he won't have anything to do with you!"

"Everything is arranged by my mother!" Xia Houyan said respectfully.

The queen rubbed her forehead and asked again suddenly.

"What's going on with Prince Ping? Concubine Ping is pregnant, and if she gives birth to the eldest son in peace, it will be the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"Why is there no movement from your side until now? They have been married for so long."

Xia Houyan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Mother, in fact, it's not long. It's only been three months. You..."

"Three months is still too short? You guys should make faster progress, let go of those concubines and side concubines first, let the main concubine conceive first, and when you give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, what kind of woman do you want?"

"Yes!" Xia Houyan lowered his head, looking very unnatural.

"Don't blame the empress for talking too much, and don't be embarrassed. Our mother and son have survived in this harem for so many years, and it is about to end. Now is the most critical moment. Don't let the empress down!"

"Don't worry, queen mother, my son will not mess around!" Xia Houyan said respectfully.

"Okay, you are sensible, I have known since I was a child! If you have nothing to do, go down first, I am tired after a busy day!"

"Yes, my son is leaving!"

After Xia Houyan left, the queen called Nanny Qi again and told her to send someone to keep an eye on the overseas monk so that no one would find out.

"In addition, Yuqing Palace is also keeping an eye on it, if there is anything to report, report it as soon as possible!"

"Empress, don't worry, the whole palace is under our control except Yuqing Palace, so you don't have to worry too much!"

The queen sneered, laughing at herself: How could she not care, Xia Houjue has been hiding her secrets for so long, and the power behind her should not be underestimated, how dare she be careless?
……

The next day, in the study of Yuqing Palace.

When Tang Wanning entered the door, she saw Xia Houjue in a black robe, standing in front of the window with her hands behind her back, staring out of the window in a daze.

He stood alone with his back, slender and tall, but with a trace of indescribable loneliness.

Tang Wanning suddenly felt sorry for her teammate. She walked over with the breakfast box and called softly.

"Prince?"

Xia Houjue turned her head abruptly, quickly covered up the loneliness in her eyes, and replaced it with the same indifference as usual.

"How did you come?"

"I heard that you locked yourself in the study without eating or drinking, so I just wanted to come and see you. What's the matter? You're not welcome?"

"That's not true!" Xia Houjue turned around and said, "Sit down!"

Tang Wanning sat down on the chair leisurely, and then asked a question.

"There is one thing I don't understand. Why do we have so much evidence, and there are still people who testify against Gou Shiren and Gou San. Gou San has even made a confession. This is the ironclad evidence. Why don't you report it?"

As long as Xia Houjue reports these, it will be clear at a glance which of the two testimonies is true and who is false. Even if the queen has a hundred mouths, she can't tell.

"Heh..." Xia Houjue suddenly had some sarcasm.

This woman is really stupid, do you still have to come here to ask this kind of thing?Can't you see it yourself?
As long as there is some fairness in the father's heart, the Great Xia Dynasty will not become what it is now, and there will not be so many corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

Doesn't she know?

In fact, Tang Wanning really didn't know, just kidding, how could she understand the filth of the world as a girl who grew up being pampered in the palm of her hand and who always let herself go.

"Okay, maybe I'm thinking too simple again!" Tang Wanning lowered her head, a little frustrated.

"Not all, in fact, you are quite smart sometimes!" Xia Houjue praised 'sincerely', without feeling any pain in his conscience.

Then he patiently explained.

"In this matter, some evidences cannot be handed over by me. I have to let the father check it out himself, and let him see it with his own eyes!"

With so many suspicions, Emperor Jingyuan might not even believe his own confidantes, so how could he believe the evidence he gave to justify himself?

Since you don't believe it, it's better not to move it, just put it there without anyone noticing it, and wait for him to investigate and find out by himself.

Tang Wanning gave a thumbs up sincerely after listening.

"In terms of scheming, you are still powerful. You are worthy of being the prince of the East Palace who is under one person and above ten thousand!"

Xia Houjue suddenly sneered, and replied in his heart: I'd rather be nothing and be born in an ordinary family with loving parents and a harmonious family.

At least that way, his mother would not die early.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Wait!" Xia Houjue said categorically, "Everything will be fine when the people sent by the emperor come back!"

"Are you not afraid of any problems over there?" Tang Wanning suddenly asked a bold question.

Xia Houjue suddenly glanced at her with slight dissatisfaction.

"In your opinion? Is Gu just such a waste?"

"Don't dare!" Tang Wanning hurriedly lowered her head.

Xia Houjue knocked her hard on the head.

"Since you don't dare, don't think about it in the future, just stay in your backyard and don't make trouble for Gu!"

"Ouch!" Tang Wanning hugged her head in pain, with resentment on her face.

"Hey, why did I make such a mess? If I hadn't Kuhaha pretending to be you to go to disaster relief this time, how could you be so smooth!"

"It's good now, it's fine if you don't reward me, but you still ground me! You fined me a year's salary last year, why, it's not enough!"

Mentioning this incident, Tang Wanning was full of resentment.

Instead, Xia Houjue suddenly laughed.

"Reward? Then you said what reward you want!"

"Of course I'm going out of the palace, you know, I don't want to stay in such a crappy place forever!" Tang Wanning took it for granted.

Xia Houjue was amused: "Broken place? Do you know how many people can't ask for your crown princess?"

"It's their business, I don't like it anyway!" Tang Wanning took it for granted.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a sensible person who makes decisions for the people, I wouldn't bother to help you!"
