Chapter 8 Controversy in the Deep Palace

Xia Zi'an's sentence "I don't want Your Highness to have another attack and harm your body" moved her. It is true that the Xia Zi'an she saw today was respectful. As a matter of fact, someone has already reported what happened in the prime minister's mansion today, and Xia Zian didn't say a single lie, which shows that she still has a certain degree of integrity. The words about acupuncture and bloodletting should not be just nonsense.

In fact, she didn't have to say anything, why bother to get into trouble? She has enough dirty water on her body.

The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment, "Empress, this ear acupuncture bloodletting can indeed be cured, but the effect of the treatment is unknown, and one must be extremely cautious when using acupuncture on the ears or head. , or a deviation in the strength of the needle, it will cause serious consequences."

Hearing this, Zian's lips moved, but he flinched again, not daring to speak.

The queen looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and see Your Highness first."

The imperial doctor bowed to leave, and before leaving, he gave Zian a hard look.

Zi An lowered her eyes, she didn't intend to challenge the authority of the imperial doctor, she just wanted to protect herself.

The queen looked at Murong Jie, "My lord, what do you think?"

Murong Jie was turning the white porcelain cup in his hand, with a calm expression, "I don't know medical skills, so I don't dare to make rash judgments."

. "

The queen looked at him, "My lord is well-informed and knowledgeable, and he knows more than this lady in the palace."

The regent raised his head suddenly, and smiled with his lips curled up. That smile was like a summer flame, scorching people's eyes and making people feel particularly uncomfortable.

At least, Zi An felt this way.

She suddenly realized that the Prince Regent and the Queen Mother were at odds. The two had not exchanged glances since she entered the palace.

She already felt strange, why did such a sharp-edged person sit here like a supporting role?

As for the empress, she was also very impatient with him.

Since the two have a grudge, why should they interrogate her about today's matter together?

Zian began to feel a little uneasy. Could the delicate relationship between these two people directly affect him?

The regent stood up slowly, "The empress can decide for herself. This king is only entrusted by the emperor brother to take care of Ah Xin's marriage. I can't make decisions about other matters."

After finishing speaking, he slightly raised his hand and said goodbye.

The queen's expression suddenly became angry, and she stood up abruptly, "Wait a minute, my lord!"

Zi'an's heart sank. If the Empress Dowager and the Prince Regent were arguing here, he would definitely not be able to survive. How could outsiders know about the royal family's infighting?

The regent stood still, his slender body looking unrestrained and unrestrained, the light in the palace reflected on his cloudy face, and there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

The empress raised her haughty face, with gloom and disgust covering her face, "Concubine Linggui also went to the palace to find the empress dowager, and asked the empress dowager to make decisions about your marriage. The empress dowager asked me to take care of it. I feel that now There is a woman who is very suitable to be the princess regent."

"This king's marriage, don't bother the empress!" Murong Jie's eyes were cold.

The queen sneered, "Doesn't the lord want to know who this suitable woman is for you?"

Murong Jie looked gloomy, "Empress, if you have this time, you should worry about the marriage between the prince and King Liang. This Xia Zi'an doesn't seem to be worthy of King Liang."

The queen raised a stern smile, and walked down step by step, "It doesn't matter if you can't be worthy of the king of Liang, as long as you can be worthy of the prince, I will go and ask for an order to give the prince Xia Zi'an, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Xia, to the prince as a concubine. , the Empress Dowager is very happy, she has always liked Xia Zian's mother, Yuan Shi, and the daughter born to the talented Yuan Shi must also be well-educated, gentle, courteous and thrifty, and she can also become the head mother of the Prince Regent's House in the future."

Zi'an's face turned pale, and the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a lot, and the numb wounds on Zi'an's body ached in great pain at this moment.

A woman who is not worthy of the King of Liang, but can match the current King Regent, or a woman who has been checked by the imperial doctor and is barren, how can she be the Princess Regent?

Zian felt that he had oversimplified the hardships and dangers of entering the palace today. This prime minister's mansion is a den of wolves, and the deep palace is a den of dragons and tigers.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone, for fear of revealing the panic and helplessness in her heart.

She knew that Murong Jie was confronting the queen, even though they were three feet away, she could still feel that fierce aura.

The hall was terribly silent, Zi'an tried hard to suppress his breathing, he was afraid to make a sound even in the blink of an eye, the sweat kept oozing from his forehead, and even his back was soaked in sweat, it was freezing cold.

As if a lifetime had passed, Zian heard footsteps, and a shadow approached him.

A finger gently lifted her chin, she had no choice but to raise her head, the panic disappeared in her eyes, when she raised her head, she was already calm.

She first touched a pair of cold eyes, but there was a smile on his face, and his tone was very amiable, "Xia Zi'an, very good, this king thinks that you are the most suitable concubine of this king."

Zian's whole body was cold, and he shivered uncontrollably.

If the king of Liang is a vicious dog, then the regent is the king of tiger, who can devour her to the bone.

She knew what the regent was thinking. He looked down on her and didn't want to marry her. However, the empress dowager and the empress had the right to decide his marriage. , How could he let the queen do what she wanted? So, he smiled at himself, but disgust and hatred danced in his eyes.

Zi'an suddenly felt that he was in a vortex, a vortex where the queen and the regent were fighting.

She didn't know much about the current political situation, but she also knew that the emperor was seriously ill in bed, so she appointed Murong Jie as the regent, acting as the emperor temporarily.

In fact, it should have been expected that the emperor had established a prince long ago, but instead of letting the prince oversee the country, he let his younger brother Murong Jie oversee the country, and even appointed a regent. The queen must have thorns in his heart.

The two confronted Maimang tit for tat and regarded her as a victim.

Zian heard the queen's sneer, "So, the prince agrees? Then I will report to the queen mother."

Murong Jie smiled arrogantly, "Go, it's time for this king to marry a wife. It's a beautiful thing for her to marry me instead of His Royal Highness Liang Wang."

After finishing speaking, he stared at her sternly, and walked away.

Zi'an's legs were weak, and the look in his eyes before he left contained too many unknown threats. He would not marry her, and the worst result would be that if the queen didn't kill him, he would do it.

The queen was already sitting on the chair, and there was a wind blowing in from the palace, which made Zian's body feel cold, his sweat had dried up, and the wound was soaked in sweat, causing a dull pain.

Everything in front of her eyes began to have double images, and she didn't know if she could hold on.

The fierceness in the queen's eyes has subsided, and she changed into a warm smile, "I've been tired all day today, you should go out of the palace too. As for your marriage with King Liang, I have decided to cancel it. After I report to the empress dowager, I will order the internal officials to draw up a decree to marry you and the regent, and before the decree is made, you should not say anything, even to your parents, you know?"
