Chapter 495 The pain of deceiving comes to an end 43

Walking all the way in, Xining felt pretty good, and he was used to it anyway. Xiaoyue, on the other hand, hooked her arm on the food box, her whole body trembling with nervousness, and she wished she could close her eyes.

The place in the Prince's Prison is pretty good. It is clean and tidy. Unlike some cells, it is just piled with straw, and I don't know when the straw was. If it has been there for a long time and becomes black and smelly, you can open it and see that there are bed bugs and fleas inside.

The prince was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall in a daze. I felt someone coming, saw that it was the queen, and quickly got out of bed.

"Mother!" The prince was extremely moved. I came over to see him as soon as possible. It was better than my biological mother.

After Xining went in, he asked Xiaoyue to put the contents of the food box on the table.

Two portions of food were prepared, and one portion was given to Zhao Guogong, who was also imprisoned in the prison.

Xi Ning asked Xiao Yue to send her to him, and the cell leader took Xiao Yue to the cell where Zhao Guoguan was staying.

Now there were only two of them. Xining asked: "Are you really planning to rebel, or have you been framed?"

"Mother, how dare I rebel? I was framed." The prince's eyes were red. After all, he was only eighteen years old and he didn't want to die: "Please, queen, please save me!"

The corner of Xi Ning's mouth curled up: "Your mother wanted to depose His Majesty and make you king before. This happened again this time. Now the mud is stuck to the pants. It's either death or death."

"Mother..." The prince felt wronged. It was Dai Zan who wanted him to be the king. He was only sixteen years old at that time, so he knew a lot.

Xining thought for a while: "You stay here for a few days. Your father's birthday will be in half a month. I will find an opportunity to ask your father to let you out."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The prince burst into tears of gratitude and almost knelt down to hug his thighs.

At this time Xiaoyue also came back, and Xining took Xiaoyue out of the prison.

In the yard in front of the Tianlao, Xi Ning gave his order: "The prince and Duke Zhao must have good meals, so we can't treat them badly. There are many mosquitoes at night, so don't forget to put up a mosquito net. Gong's bucket must be changed once a day. The prince likes to drink Longjing. Later, I will send someone to bring Longjing tea. I also need to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and get some books. By the way, the prince also likes to eat braised pork, so he must have it with every meal..."

The prison boss only agreed one by one, thinking to himself, is this coming to jail or to escape the heat?

Back at Zhaoyangyuan, the Crown Princess was waiting anxiously. When she saw the Queen coming back, she hurriedly trotted to meet her.

"Hey, be careful!" Xining quickly asked someone to help the princess.

After sitting down, Xining asked Xiaoyue to answer the question about the situation of the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince and Duke Zhao in prison. The Crown Princess wished she could know everything in detail and asked her questions over and over again.

Fortunately, Xiaoyue has enough patience. If it were her, she would have turned over the table in boredom.

Xue Pinggui seemed to be hiding on purpose, and he still hadn't come over after three days.

Xining didn't send anyone, nor did he go to the Imperial Study Room or Qinzheng Palace in person to intercede. No matter what her fault is, if the prince dies, it can only be blamed on his poor luck and having such a father.

Xue Pinggui came over relieved when he saw that the queen didn't come and didn't send anyone over. She still stayed in Zhaoyang Courtyard every day.

After lunch, I took a nap again. Sun Meiren was already pregnant and was a month old, so the queen chose a better-looking maid who had not yet been pregnant to serve her. This made Xue Pinggui very satisfied!

After coming here for three days in a row, the queen still didn't say anything, which made Xue Pinggui stifled.

After getting up, he sat side by side with the queen, drinking the fine Longjing that was brought to the palace this spring. Xue Pinggui looked at the queen from time to time.

Why don't you ask for mercy? Fortunately, the prince came to the palace from time to time to pay his respects and recognize her as his legitimate mother, but she never mentioned a word about the prince's imprisonment. This is not normal! Xue Pinggui couldn't help but said: "The prince is still in prison."

"Yes." Xining replied calmly: "I have gone to see you once, and I have asked you to take care of your food, clothing, and daily life. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Don't worry, don't worry, why don't you ask for mercy?

Xue Pinggui added: "The prince intends to rebel."

"Oh~" Xining responded: "Whether it is true or not, shutting it down for a few days is just a reminder."

Xue Pinggui choked, what kind of words are you talking about, being locked up in the prison just to remind you? It cannot be said that the prince has no intention of treason, that it is impossible for him to treason, and that he dares to risk his life as a guarantee. This is more in line with the image of a loving mother.

After thinking for a while, Xue Pinggui stood up: "I'm leaving first, so don't wait tonight."

"Yes, I would like to send you off to Your Majesty!" Xining stood up and bowed slightly to salute.

Xue Pinggui walked slowly on purpose, and even looked back when he reached the door.

The Queen actually looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

Why don't you ask for mercy? It seemed that he was being sentimental. Xue Pinggui turned his head slightly and strode out.

After Xue Pinggui left, Xining asked someone to bring him a braised chicken, sat down at the rosewood Eight Immortals table, and ate it.

"Mother, mother..." Lin'er was brought over by her wet nurse. She was over a year old and was still learning to speak. Of the two words "mother", I can only say the first one, and the result is like this.

Seeing the braised chicken, Lin'er raised his hands and pointed them at Yao.

"I want to eat braised chicken! Come here." Xining asked the wet nurse to hold her on her lap, pulled off the other chicken leg, and let Lin'er take it in her hand and eat it.

Lin'er's two chubby little hands couldn't hold the drumstick, so he just grabbed it with both hands and put it in his mouth.

The maids lowered their heads and smiled secretly. This queen is probably the most down-to-earth person ever. When any queen wants to eat, she either talks about white fungus and lotus seed soup or bird's nest porridge. She wants grilled chicken!

Look, the big one and the little one are eating so enthusiastically, especially the second prince. His face and hands are all oily, half of his face is blocked by the chicken legs, and you can see two big black eyes. He is really cute. So funny.

Since the queen didn't react at all, Xue Pinggui also figured it out. The queen actually did this because she loved him. No matter how much the prince loved him, he was still the prince. After all, he was the queen's husband.

The Queen also said that whether it is true or not, whether it is closed for a few days, it can be regarded as a reminder. She didn't care if the prince was wronged, she cared about him!

Thinking of this, Xue Pinggui was happy. Thinking that it would be best for the wife of Chao Nang, he ordered someone to send some gifts. So I settled down in Zhaoyangyuan with peace of mind!

The queen is not in a hurry, but those princeling ministers are. Through her relationship with Concubine De, Concubine De found an opportunity to ask Xue Ping what to do for her birthday party.

Xue Pinggui is already 40 years old. 40 is a big birthday, so he needs to do something about it.

If there is a birthday banquet, the prince must be released. Otherwise, the birthday banquet is being held here and the prince is in prison there.

Xue Pinggui knew this and asked him to think about it for a while, then fooled him first.

When he went to court the next day, a minister reported that the prince and Zhao Guogong were plotting against him, but there was currently no evidence. As a crown prince, he cannot stay in prison all the time, so it is better to release him and put him under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion.
