Prince Huai Mansion.

Since Zhou Qi moved into the Eastern Palace, King Huai gradually became cold to Princess Huai and began to favor his concubine Xie Chaoyun. Even when Xie Chaoyun gave birth to his second son Huier, King Huai, King Huai's eldest son Xuaner, was not very popular.

"Mom, I miss my father."

When Brother Hui was one year old, King Huai happily invited guests. The two-year-old Brother Xuan watched as his father hugged his younger brother for a long time. The little guy couldn't help it. As his mother returned to the deserted princess' residence, Brother Xuan threw himself into his mother's arms and cried aggrievedly, "The father only hugged his younger brother, not me."

Princess Huai held her little son and tried hard to raise her face so that she could not let tears fall.

Zhou Qi saved her son's life. She was grateful that she could use her life to return Zhou Qi. Her husband was also very pleased at the beginning, and the fourth brother, who had always been cold, cared about his brother's feelings so much. But after Zhou Qi became the crown prince, her husband became more and more worried. He must have felt that if his son had not given Zhou Qi the chance to make meritorious contributions, the position of the crown prince would have been his.

So what if you can't calm down? The imperial edict has been issued, but the husband cannot resist the edict.

Unable to violate the emperor's will, her husband spread his resentment on her. At first, he just deliberately pampered Xie Chaoyun to make things difficult for her, but later, he didn't even want their brother Xuan.

Princess Huai cried and resented, but in the end, she could only take better care of her son and vowed not to let her son suffer.

Princess Huai is not stupid. She had no time to take care of her son when she was seriously ill. When her son recovered, Princess Huai secretly investigated how her son's illness came about. Malaria is the heir. Why are there so many people in Prince Huai's Mansion, and only her son was caught?

Someone must be trying to harm his son.

There are five women in the Huai Mansion. Whoever benefits the most when the son has an accident will be the one whom Princess Huai is most suspicious of.

Xie Chaoyun is her number one suspect.

It is said that only a thousand days of thieves are not a thousand days of guarding against thieves, but for the sake of hard work, Princess Huai will be guarded against for a thousand days of time.

This defense lasted for five years.

When Brother Xuan was seven years old, the man finally took action again. Although he was very concealed and careful, he was still arrested by Princess Huai and had all his personal evidence.

In order to avoid King Huai's favoritism with Xie Chaoyun, Princess Huai directly sued Emperor Yongjia.

Someone actually wanted to murder his grandson?

Emperor Yongjia was furious and ordered Dali Temple to investigate it strictly. Based on the evidence collected after Princess Huai's five years of planning, Dali Temple not only found out that Xie Chaoyun was the real murderer behind the murder of Emperor Changsun this time, but also found out the truth about Brother Xuan'er's sudden malaria last time.

The evidence was conclusive, Emperor Yongjia killed Xie Chaoyun with a glass of poisoned wine.

For the sake of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Yongjia did not touch the Duke's Mansion.

But this time, the British Duke didn't need the Queen Mother to remind him and knew what to do. He took the initiative to hand in a letter asking for resignation from his post and return home.

The British Duke handed over three copies, but Emperor Yongjia deducted them three copies.

The empress dowager couldn't stand it anymore, so she called her son to scold her: "It's right, I'm even more upset to keep them in Beijing. If you hope that I will live a few more years, I will send them away as soon as possible."

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve talked too much with Lu, but the Queen Mother’s speech has become more and more straightforward recently.

Emperor Yongjia did not dare to take such a big blame for his unfilial piety, so he quickly approved the British council's retirement note.

.

After Xie Chaoyun's death, King Huai finally woke up.

It turned out that it was not Xuan Ge'er who missed his position as the crown prince, but Xie Chaoyun, who plotted to kill Xuan Ge'er.

Both regret and hatred, King Huai immediately neglected Xie Chaoyun's son and sincerely made up for Princess Huai and Brother Xuan'er.

However, the seven-year-old Xuan Ge'er, who was neglected by his father for five or six years, no longer cared about whether his father cared for him. For him, the father was not as good as his mother, and even the princess who cared for him was not as good as his concubine.

However, Brother Xuan found that his mother seemed to have reconciled with his father.

In private, Brother Xuan asked his mother curiously: "Mom, have you forgiven your father?"

Princess Huai smiled softly: "Mom has never hated your father."

Although Brother Xuan is precocious, he doesn’t understand his mother’s words very well. After so many years of neglect, how could his mother not hate her?

Princess Huai thought for a while and sighed in a low voice: "Mom, I just don't like him anymore."

She had been happy and sad when marrying King Huai. Now that the storm has passed, she only has her son left in her heart. King Huai is just the prince and husband who has a different dream. He is the prince. She respects and fears him, but she no longer cares about whether he is hungry or not, whether he is sick or not, whether he is happy or sad.

"Brother Xuan remember, you must get along well with Brother Yao in the future and be a good brother for him." Princess Huai reminded with a smile.

If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Yao will be the next emperor. If his son becomes good brothers with Brother Yao, he will be safe in his life.

Brother Xuan Zheng pointed at the key point: "Don't worry, I remember it all."

King Huai is not a wood, and he felt the changes between his wife and eldest son clearly.

He felt bitter in his heart, and he went around in circles, but in the end he had no favor to his wife and children, and that position was gone.

Unable to resolve it, King Huai began to drink heavily, drunk every day, and do nothing.

.

The day before the Xie family left Beijing, the Empress Dowager went to Fahua Temple.

She came to see Xie Jin.

Xie Jin, who was actually imprisoned for many years, was already crazy.

The monk guarding Xie Jin pushed open the door.

The sun shone into the forbidden room. The queen mother looked up and saw her once-like nephew, who was sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled, holding a tattered futon in her arms.

As if his eyes were stabbed by the bright sunlight, Xie Jin immediately hugged the futuan tightly and hid on the bed, lying with his back to the door, looking back at the empress dowager vigilantly while saying something vaguely. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Queen Mother shed tears.

Wiping his tears, the two monks stepped in first to prevent Xie Jin from Xiren, and then the empress dowager led his confidant nanny to the bedside.

Looking at Xie Jin who was crazy on the bed, the Empress Dowager couldn't bear it: "Look at you like this, it's better to die. Be reincarnated into a good family as soon as possible, live peacefully in the next life, and stop harming others."

Xie Jin still hugged the futon tightly.

The Queen Mother walked over to wipe her tears.

The old lady beside her opened the food box in her hand, took out a fragrant roast chicken and placed it in front of Xie Jin.

Xie Jin's eyes shiny, he grabbed the roast chicken and started to chew. He didn't forget to hold the cushion when he chewed it.

Halfway through the chewing, Xie Jin suddenly widened his eyes and covered his stomach and screamed in pain. But even so, he was in pain and did not look at the Queen Mother or the two monks with any complicated eyes.

The Queen Mother understood that Xie Jin was really crazy.

She nodded to the monk.

The monk immediately fed the antidote to Xie Jin. It was not poisonous. The medicine would only make people feel unbearable abdominal pain.

Xie Jin, who was taking the medicine, slowly calmed down. This time, he was obviously afraid that the Queen Mother would be waiting for others, so he hugged in the bed with a cushion, tears kept falling in his eyes, wetting the dirty hair.

The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she waved her hand.

The two monks raised Xie Jin and sent them down the mountain to Xie Jin's father.

Let the nephew and grandchildren reunite with their family and stay away from the capital together, this is what the Queen Mother can do for her parents' family in the end.

After returning to the palace, the Empress Dowager told Xu Roujia about this.

Xu Roujia didn't know what to think. The once proud prince of the British ended up being crazy.

But, who can I blame?

Xie Jin wanted to kill her in his previous life, but he wanted to kill her again in this life. Even if she was just A Tao, as Roujia's cousin who was missed by Xie Jin in such a paranoid way, after knowing that Xie Jin did to A Tao, Xu Roujia would only feel cold all over her body and would never be moved.

"You said, is he really crazy?"

It was late at night, and Xu Roujia asked Zhou Qi with little confidence, not that she didn't believe in her grandmother's eyes, but that Xie Jin was too extreme. If he was pretending to be crazy, Xu Roujia was afraid.

Zhou Qi closed his eyes and kissed her forehead: "I sent someone to follow her. He would better be crazy, otherwise if he had any abnormal movements, my people would do it immediately."

Xu Roujia was relieved.

But what she didn't know was that Zhou Qi would not allow a future trouble to lurk for so long.

The Xie family was still on the way back to their hometown. One night, the crazy Xie Jin suddenly ran to the roof, and then jumped down crazy and died suddenly on the spot.

.

Xie Jin is easy to deal with, and Zhou Qi's longest thorn in his eyes was Jing Wang Zhouyu.

He would not forget that Zhou Yu almost bullied his cousin Lu Yilan, but Zhou Yu was extremely cautious and did not let Zhou Qi find a way that could not make his father suspicious of him.

But it doesn't matter. Zhou Qi can wait. When he ascends the throne, the first person to deal with is Zhou Yu.

He could wait, but Zhou Yu couldn't wait. He knew better than anyone else that Zhou Qi was keeping his account.

How to survive?

Zhou Yu wanted to rebel the most, but Zhou Qi was too close to him. If Zhou Yu dared to form a clique for personal gain, it would be like giving Zhou Qi the handle and let Zhou Qi go to the front of his father to sue him.

If you cannot rebel, you will have to escape.

In the year when Emperor Yongjia personally led the army, Zhou Yu volunteered to go with him.

Zhou Qi was the prince and had to stay in the capital. As the army left the capital, Zhou Yu looked back and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. As long as he could survive, he would beat Zhou Qi.

But Zhou Yu didn't want to live too poorly. After thinking about it, he decided to surrender to the enemy. He had always been low-key, and no one in the enemy country recognized him. As long as he took the head of a general to the enemy camp and then made up his identity, with this credit and his ability, it would be fine to get a military officer in the enemy country.

Zhou Yu secretly planned everything.
