Spring Forest Evening

After saying this, that mother Jiang could only remain silent.

Death is the most important thing, let alone the emperor, let alone the father of this sleepy child.

Zhou Heng watched from the side, and he really approved of Liang Concubine's actions. Although from what he had seen so far and what he heard from Shen Yi and others, it was all saying that the royal family was ruthless, but everyone is human, and there are some things You can never do too much.

Of course, from a rational point of view, it is also a correct attitude for Empress Jiang to call the ministers to discuss the funeral at this time. Otherwise, what will the people outside think when the palace gate is not opened at dawn tomorrow?After all, according to the normal situation, those who went to the banquet tonight should go home that night, and it is not normal for the palace gate to be closed at this moment.

In view of this, even if the assassin cannot be caught, the probability of opening the palace gate as usual tomorrow morning is relatively high.At that time, the banquet crowd stranded here tonight will naturally have to go home. At that time, it can't be guaranteed that everyone will keep their mouths shut, right?There is no impenetrable wall in the world.

In such rare emergencies, it is her duty and irrefutable that the empress, as the emperor's official wife, presides over the overall situation when all the princes are basically dead; Concubine, Concubine Liang chose to take the only remaining emperor's heir to send the emperor to the water's edge for the last time. It was her affection, and it was also the biggest bonus that she, as a mother and concubine, could give to her youngest son.

Not to mention the ancient times when the word filial piety surpassed the heavens, even in the 21st century, Zhou Heng felt that this was the duty of a man and a child.

Children are innocent, but if they are taught by adults, they will not regret it when they grow up.

As for the queen mother and daughter... To be honest, it's still unclear.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng quietly approached Shen Fu and asked in a low voice:

"My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Concubine Liang's mother and son. The fourth prince was sleeping soundly. Concubine Liang's movements were gentle, and she didn't wake up her son for a while, so she had to bite the bullet and continue.

"What's wrong?" Shen Fu who walked to the side lowered his head and asked Zhou Heng.

"Where is Phoenix Feather Palace?" Now is not a good time to talk, Zhou Heng quickly cut to the point.

Shen Fu knew what she wanted to ask as soon as he heard it, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"There's a queen to worry about over there."

That's right, Empress Jiang should be clear about what the queen mother and daughter are planning now, and Qin Zhihai will definitely send someone to guard against it.Thinking of this, Zhou Heng looked at Concubine Liang, who was hugging the crying fourth prince not far away and coaxing him in a panic, and whispered what happened just now, while quickly revealing the bracelet on her wrist to Shen Fu. :

"...I feel that although she is pessimistic, she is still right. After all, she is more aware of the situation in the palace, and as a mother, think about it, unless it is absolutely necessary, how can she be willing to give her child to someone else to raise her?" , what do you say?"

At this moment the moon was hidden in the clouds again, Shen Fu looked at the dark water surface and paused, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while he said in a low voice:

"Aheng, I'm the one who troubled you with this matter!"

"What burden, if you want to say burden, why did I burden you," Zhou Heng said indifferently: "If I didn't ask you to help me enter the palace self-righteously, I wouldn't—"

Just as I was talking about this, I suddenly heard a joyful call from not far away:

"A Fu!...Yes, it's A Fu, that's great!"

Unexpectedly, the Huguo Gong and his wife appeared at this time at the right time. They watched Shen Fu up and down for a while, and Zhou Heng watched from the side. The Duke hesitated several times before he patted Shen Fu's arm wordlessly, and sighed:

"It's fine!"

Glancing at Zhou Heng again, Zhou Heng quickly saluted.

Afterwards, the couple went to salute Concubine Liang who was holding the fourth prince in her arms. At this moment, the little guy had almost woken up from the toss, but he was very unhappy. He closed his eyes and kicked his calves, mumbling something.

Zhou Heng originally planned to consciously follow Mrs. Huguo as a servant girl of the Huguogong's mansion, but Concubine Liang first said politely to Mrs. Huguogong: "Madam, thanks to your family tonight!" The servant girl on board!"

While talking, he lowered his head and coaxed his son gently:

"Okay, okay, He'er, please open your eyes first, okay?"

Then he turned around and called Zhou Heng:

"come here!"

Because of the group of people around now, Zhou Heng didn't take it seriously, and quickly walked over like a maid.

Concubine Liang called Zhou Heng to help in front of Mother Jiang next to her:

"The fourth prince was willing to let you hug him just now, but he can't sleep anymore, I'm tired too, so come over and accompany him, don't let him fall asleep again!"

Xu heard the voices of people around him, and they were almost awakened by Liang Concubine. The fourth prince finally opened his eyes at this moment, and was lying on Liang Concubine's shoulder, sobbing aggrievedly. Seeing Zhou Heng coming, somehow, it seemed After understanding what his mother and concubine said, she actually stretched out her hand to ask Zhou Heng to hug her, and said aggrievedly:

"You play with me!"

"Oh, the fourth prince doesn't recognize his birth!" Mother Jiang said sourly when she saw this.

"The fourth prince is young, just like the concubine's little grandson," Mrs. Huguo responded quickly, half explaining: "Whoever wants to play with him can go with him."

It's strange to say that Xu Shi slept quite well just now, and after Commander Xu accompanied him to urinate next to him, the fourth prince who came back was full of energy, he was no longer sleepy, and his temper was no longer violent. He held Zhou Heng's hand and asked her to play with him.

Anyway, your father is still soaking in the water, we can't have too much fun, Zhou Heng glanced at Shen Fu next to him, thought for a while, then squatted down and whispered to the fourth prince:

"Want to hear a story?"

"Think!" The fourth prince happily replied, then rolled his eyes, walked behind Zhou Heng and slumped on her back suddenly, and said something in his mouth:

"Play on my back!"

All right, carrying him is better than holding him, so Zhou Heng stood up with his back on his back, and the maid in the middle also quickly came over to help.

So in the process of watching the simple wooden raft go into the water and slowly slide into the water to salvage the emperor's body, Zhou Heng walked slowly while carrying the emperor's youngest son on his back, telling him what he had said to his little niece before. The fairy tales told.

Commander Xu of the Huben Guards was dedicated to his duty, leading people not far away to watch the fourth prince on Zhou Heng's back, while Shen Fu stood beside him unintentionally, and that General Zhu was with Duke Hu , together with the rest of the ministers who stayed on the shore, watched the Imperial Guard soldiers salvage in the Taiye Pond.

Although the people on the raft were not good enough to swim, and there were people in the middle who fell into the water because they couldn't keep their balance, but after a short period of practice, they got used to it quickly, and then the raft slowly moved under the watchful eyes of everyone. Approaching the corpse in the bright yellow dress, the people on the shore fell to their knees with sobs.

"Nurse, please, hurry up and report to the empress!" Concubine Liang ordered in a tearful voice.
