But Zhou Ying has never had such thoughts. Even an honest person like Ding Xiang took the initiative to inquire about the information and came back to tell Huilan that Zhou Ying only cares about whether she is favored, which little goblin's house I went to again, what happened in the East Palace

Still haven't fully grasped it yet.

Li Chengze had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he felt a little emotional and disappointed. They were obviously a couple but they reached the point where they were relatively speechless. It was really...

When it comes to partiality, let’s talk about not being partial. The Qian family and the Zhang family don’t give much love, but the Qian family and the Zhang family also do a good job. Everything in the East Palace is responsible for everything, and no one needs to remind them. Even

I know everything about several courtyards clearly to protect myself, but look at our princess, hey!

"Your Highness, you have been working hard outside. Do you want to hold a reception banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust? I heard that there is an assassination, have you told the emperor?"

Zhou Ying smiled warmly and looked for a topic to talk about for a while.

"It's not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing with my father for the time being. It's enough for my father to know. There are some things that can't be easily exposed, and it doesn't look good to him as an old man."

I went to meet the Holy Father today and had a very pleasant conversation. He took the initiative to bring up the matter of the salt tax. My father and I had a good conversation, but he avoided talking about the assassination.

Li Chengze thought of the conversation just now and closed his eyes slightly. He felt a little sad but was not surprised by the ending. The reward was an explanation, and his father had already decided to suppress other things.

"But we can't suffer losses in vain. Otherwise, you should kneel down and beg the emperor. If there is anything you can't say to your father and son, this is the best time to attack the enemy. Don't miss it."

Zhou Ying's face turned red when she heard the news, and she took his hand and expressed her support eagerly.

Li Chengze sighed and suppressed his anger, "My beloved, it's not the right time to talk about this now."

"You are father and son. There is nothing that cannot be said. If you believe me, go and cry and let the emperor make the decision for you."

Zhou Ying kind of hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"It's really not the right time to talk about this."

Li Chengze couldn't explain it clearly to her. There was still a little bit of tacit understanding between father and son about some words and things, so I won't ask you.

Zhou Ying wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by him, "Let someone prepare the food. I'm hungry. Don't talk about this matter anymore. It's a taboo. You can't just accuse someone without evidence. Otherwise, you will be the only one who will suffer the consequences in the end."

It can be me, but it can’t be anyone else, do you understand, my beloved concubine?"

The words are meant to be a warning.

"Why? It's obvious that we have suffered and been wronged. We can't bring it up no matter what."

Zhou Ying is still not happy, her face is irritated and aggrieved, and she blames you for such useless expressions and eyes.

Li Chengze stood up and turned around twice, "I told you not to mention this matter again. It's possible that the salt merchant hired someone to kill me. There are clues pointing in this direction.

If you don't understand what's going on outside, just don't get involved, and don't go around talking about it to the detriment of Gugang, okay? You can't mention a word about this matter outside the house, do you understand?"

Finally, he gritted his teeth and issued a warning word for word.

"Why are you warning me? I didn't assassinate you. Didn't I wholeheartedly do it for you? I feel so wronged and don't even dare to say a word? They are my biological sons, so why can't I say it?"

"You know nothing, you're ignorant! You don't need to give any instructions on Gu's affairs. How did you learn it at home? What did you learn? Is this what your grandfather taught you?"

Li Chengze was really angry and anxious. This woman couldn't explain it at all, so she just accepted death.

"I'm doing it for your own good. If you don't go, I'll go find the Queen Mother and cry."

Zhou Ying pouted aggrievedly, holding her neck and refusing to acknowledge the reason.

Just when the war between the two was about to break out again, Yuyan came in and sent a message, "Mother Yan from Qinghui Garden has come to say something and wants to see His Highness and the Empress."

"Let in."

Li Chengze stood in the middle of the room holding back the fire.

Aunt Yan entered the room, took a quick glance, and then showed a clear smile, "The Queen Mother has told her not to mention the assassination again. The royal family cannot afford to lose face. This matter was done by salt merchants and corrupt officials. After all, it was not

It's a good thing, the emperor is feeling uncomfortable, so don't worry about it.

The prince has been wronged, and my father will always remember it in his heart. Don't rush for a while. There is no obstacle that my father and son cannot overcome. As elders, the Ai family always hopes that the children and grandchildren in the family can be harmonious and united. I hope that Your Highness and the Crown Princess will keep this in mind."

"I, my concubine, keep this in mind."

Zhou Ying knelt down with tears in her eyes to answer.

"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother, for giving me some advice. My grandson will take note of it."

Li Chengze also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise with Zhou Ying's stubbornness, he would have had to make a big fuss, otherwise the East Palace would have suffered a loss.

"Old slave, please retire."

After coming out of Yongning Palace, Grandma Yan shook her head and smiled, then returned to Qinghui Garden to meet Huilan.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

"It's exactly as you expected. Sure enough, we were quarreling. After I said it, the Crown Princess agreed aggrievedly, but Your Highness breathed a sigh of relief."

"Well, now go and help me deliver the Queen Mother's gift, and tell me about this incident. There is no need to hide it. I will go to apologize to the old man after I dress up tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll go right away, old slave."

The reason why she agreed to falsely convey the Queen Mother's instructions was because she wanted the stability and harmony of the East Palace. The Crown Princess was too naughty.

Aunt Yan went to see the Queen Mother with a gift. She must report what she should say. Huilan did this very well. There is nothing that cannot be reported to others. You will never be able to control me.

On the contrary, in Yongning Hall, Li Chengze reluctantly had a meal and then returned to his Yongxin Hall without staying overnight.

Changji took a look in the study and said, "Sir, didn't you say you would stay there for the night today?"

"Look at how she looks like she wants me to stay overnight. I'm afraid if I continue to stay, I will strangle her to death."

Li Chengze spoke loudly and gasped in anger.

"I can't see anyone today, I'm so annoyed."

He waved his hand irritably, and then said, "Don't disturb Lan'er. She had a hard time riding the boat."

"Yes, but Nanny Yan came directly from Qinghui Garden just now and did not go to Cining Palace. She went to Cining Palace after delivering the message, still carrying a gift in her hand."

Changji's meaning is obvious.

"I know, it was the Queen Mother who warned me, do you understand?"

His eyes were sharp, staring at him like sharp arrows.

"Yes, I understand."

Changji quickly agreed.

When Nanny Yan went to Cining Palace and told what Huilan had told her, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be happy, "This girl is so brave. She dared to let you fake the oral instructions of the Ai family, and you still helped her.

Jinxiu, you’ve learned too much.”

The Queen Mother happily pointed at Nanny Yan and laughed and scolded her.

"Look, am I not here to apologize? You see, she is also dedicated to the prince, to get a share of the little credit that the East Palace has finally earned, and she has only earned such a little credit in a life of nine deaths, and then let the prince give it to Huo Huo

Yeah, it’s such a loss.

Mr. Ding told me about the assassination twice, the last time was on the boat. They were all good guys, and they almost... You said it was all back, but the prince didn't even mention it, but the princess couldn't persuade her.

Move, Mrs. Ding begged me to let me suppress her, and she did not dare to waste time and came to plead guilty. She will come to plead guilty to you tomorrow."

"Hmph! We'll tell you what you brought to the Ai family when they arrive. If you don't care, just throw it out without seeing her."

The Queen Mother was not angry, because Huilan did not do anything intolerable. The false report was true but it was very measured. It was limited to the East Palace to suppress the Crown Princess. It was not a big mistake to pretend to be powerful but to make the Crown Princess cause trouble, she would not be able to keep it.
