"Your Highness? Please accept the order."
Seeing that the second prince did not move, Eunuch Li couldn't help but remind him again.
The second prince just woke up from a dream and took over the imperial edict, but his face was still very pale.
He really couldn't figure it out. It was obvious that he had been favored by his father recently.
Why did my father suddenly want to send me to the frontier?
"Eunuch Li, what does my father mean?"
The second prince had no choice but to ask Eunuch Li.
Of course Eunuch Li can't say it clearly. He should try his best to interfere as little as possible in these matters between father and son.
He could only clear his throat and said: "Your Highness, isn't it clearly written in this imperial edict?"
"Why your Majesty made such arrangements, I don't even know. .”
"But His Majesty is very angry right now. I think it would be better for the Second Prince not to cause trouble for Your Majesty."
After finishing speaking, Eunuch Li waved his sleeves and left the Second Prince's residence. He had to go back to resume his life. .
The second prince looked at Eunuch Li's walking back and felt mixed emotions in his heart for a moment.
He didn't know why Emperor Zhou arranged it like this, but he could tell it from Eunuch Li's words just now.
Right now, my father is angry. So what is my father so angry about?
The second prince couldn't help but feel helpless.
If his uncle was still there, he should be able to ask his uncle for advice at this time.
By the way...my uncle has only been dead for a few days, so my father must be angry because of this matter.
A few days ago, I asked officials from a poor family to impeach my uncle, which added insult to injury. I think it also aroused the dissatisfaction of my father.
The second prince felt sad for a moment. Why did he make a wrong step and make a mistake? Now he even lost the chance to stay in the capital!
The imperial edict cannot be violated.
No matter how reluctant the second prince was to leave the capital, he could only prepare his weapons and lead the army to guard the border.
——————————
Kunning Palace.
Queen Zhou’s position in the court has been getting higher and higher because of the recent period of the second prince.
In addition, she herself was quite respected in the harem, so she couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
At this moment, Queen Zhou was arranging the flowers and plants in the palace, humming a little tune.
But at this moment, a palace maid hurriedly came in.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened, something has gone wrong!"
Queen Zhou was startled, her good mood disappeared, and she couldn't help but frown.
She looked at the palace maid coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Don't you know to inform me before coming in?"
"It's a very important matter... I really don't have time to report it."
>The palace maid could only speak cautiously at this time.
However, Queen Zhou did not take what the other party said to heart.
The second prince's status has become increasingly stable recently.
In addition, she no longer has to look at the faces of those bitches in the harem, so how can anything big happen?
When she thought of this, Queen Zhou felt a little better.
She picked up a pot of orchids, carefully arranged the leaves, and said without looking back: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"If I'm like this again next time, You are in a panic, be careful if I let someone slap your mouth!"
The palace maid has found an opportunity to speak.
But she could only raise her head cautiously, and then took two steps back. "Mother, my father-in-law just sent me a message saying that Your Majesty asked the second prince to lead troops to guard the border. It is said that he will leave tomorrow..."
"What?"
When Queen Zhou heard the news, she froze, and the flowerpot in her hand instantly fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
Then, her face turned pale instantly, she looked at the palace maid with cold eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Palm!"
The palace maid was also startled by Queen Zhou's tone, and she slapped her mouth regardless.
Pop! Snap!
At the same time, she defended: "Mother, this is true! I didn't lie!"
"How is it possible? You dare to take the news from anyone seriously!" Zhou The queen simply refused to believe it, or she was afraid to believe it.
Her face became paler and paler, her hands clenched tightly, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
This is simply impossible!
The second prince has become more and more powerful in the court, how could he be sent to the border all of a sudden?
"My Lady, this is not random news spread by someone. Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict..." The palace maid's face was already swollen from being slapped by herself.
At this moment, he was almost crying and said: "The second prince is really leaving the capital to go to the frontier."
"If this kind of news is false, then not all the people in the palace are spreading it falsely. Is it an imperial decree..."
"Imperial decree..."
Queen Zhou rolled her eyes, and all the strength in her body seemed to be taken away instantly.
She could no longer hold on at this moment and collapsed to the ground in fear.
You know, when Su Yuanwu died, she was not like she is now.
Because she knew that she still had her last supporter, and that was the second prince.
As long as the second prince is doing well in court.
Even if his eldest brother, who became the Minister of Civil Affairs, died, it would not have much impact on him.
But the second prince was sent to guard the border, and this was a proper assignment!
Throughout the ages, which prince who could become the crown prince would be sent to the frontier by the emperor?
Not to mention that the situation at the border is already delicate, and a war is almost imminent.
Guarding the frontier is a very dangerous thing, and your life may be lost at any time.
As for the second prince, Zhou Mingyu, he had no cultivation skills, and he had never learned to lead troops in war.
Even if you bring tens of thousands of troops, what's the use?
Once the war breaks out, I'm afraid no one will care about him...
Especially since Emperor Zhou has issued an imperial edict, unless the Emperor Zhou's mind can be changed, there is no way for the second prince to do so. return.
If he were defeated and fled, he would be considered a deserter and would be beheaded!
Learning from the experience of the eldest prince being beheaded at Caishikou.
Queen Zhou knew very well that if the second prince also made a big mistake, then Emperor Zhou would definitely kill him!
"This, this, this... what should I do?"
Queen Zhou shed tears instantly. She only had such a son. If he died outside, what would happen to her? live?
Her body collapsed on the ground, and when she saw that the palace maids around her were still indifferent, she couldn't help but feel even more angry.
"Go away! Why are you still here? Do you want to see my jokes? Get out of here!"
The palace ladies turned pale and could only leave in a hurry The bedroom.
There was only one Queen Zhou left in the huge palace.
Her heart became completely cold.
In this harem, a queen without a prince exists in name only.
Thinking of the way she showed off her power in front of those bitches in the harem, Queen Zhou felt a chill in her heart.
Without the second prince, those bitches would probably torture her to death! (End of this chapter)
