Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain took a deep look at Empress Xiang standing beside her.

The queen's face under the phoenix crown was drooped.

The beads hanging down also blocked the line of sight, making it difficult for Empress Dowager Gao to clearly see the look on her daughter-in-law's face.

She had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "What do you think the Queen thinks of the ministers?"

He lowered his head to the queen, bowed to the empress dowager Gao, and said, "Everything about the bride is subject to the empress's loving orders!"

Empress Dowager Gao was immediately choked and speechless.

The Queen's intention is obvious - only the Queen's loving will is followed? The bride's opinion is not important!

The hidden subtext and unspoken words in it are horrifying to think about.

But I can't find anything wrong.

The atmosphere within the curtain suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Every minister and every female official inside the curtain has smelled the smoke quietly growing between the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace and the Empress of Kunning Palace.

After a long time, Dowager Gao turned to the queen and said, "Queen, get up!"

The two concubines had quietly become estranged from each other.

However, in the eyes of Queen Xiang.

This is something she has to fight for and must fight for!

The kingdom of Sheji was left to Sixth Brother by the official family.

That child was so sensible, so filial, and so well-behaved in front of her!

In the Qingning Palace, those words "mother" simply screamed into the heart of Empress Xiang.

The flowers that Sixth Brother picked for her were so beautiful when she put them on her head!

The scene where Sixth Brother was afraid that she would get tired and beat her back and shoulders is still vivid in her mind.

Even in this Funing Palace.

Brother Six also held her sleeve tightly.

That is asking for her blessing and support!

She just thought of Sixth Brother grabbing her sleeves and following her closely, looking pitifully, helplessly and looking at her helplessly.

Queen Xiang was in a trance.

The appearance of Sixth Brother overlapped with that of her poor child who was in swaddling clothes and abandoned her before her mother even had time to open her eyes or even call out.

Queen Xiang always thinks: If my child is still alive, he must be the same as Sixth Brother.

The same filial piety, the same intelligence, the same sense.

He will definitely grab my sleeves, and he will definitely look at me pitifully like Sixth Brother, praying for blessing and support.

In the eyes of Empress Xiang, is Empress Dowager Gao really worthy of trust and trust?

The answer is: not necessarily!

Since the official fell ill, everything that Baoci Palace had done flashed into the Queen's mind.

The Queen understands this in her heart.

The Queen Mother of Baoci Palace is indeed the mother-in-law of Sixth Brother, and indeed the biological mother of the official family!

However, Queen Mother Gao was not like her.

She only has a child like Liu Ge to rely on, and only a husband like Guan Jia to rely on.

But the Empress Dowager Gao also had two sons. At the same time, the Empress Dowager also had more than a dozen grandsons, including the granddaughter Cheng Huan.

Sixth Brother is her one and only, but he is not the only one for the Empress Dowager Baoci Palace.

The difference is here, the difference is here!

Driven by maternal love, Empress Xiang fearlessly faced her sister-in-law for the first time.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a long time, she had already seen it.

The queen is already challenging her.

Although it is very subtle, although it is very low-key.

But, the seedlings have already grown.

This made Empress Dowager Gao a little unhappy, but she had no reason or excuse.

Because, all the behaviors of Queen Xiang were within the scope of etiquette and law, and did not exceed the boundaries of a daughter-in-law.

What's more, the young prince is behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Gao knew that she must set an example for the prince.

As Zeng Bu said, the prince is smart, filial, and courteous, so his learning ability will exceed imagination!

If she, the mother-in-law, cannot set a good example for the prince.

In the future, when the prince grows up, I'm afraid he will imitate him.

A good Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty might be taught to become Emperor Yang in her hands - wise enough to refuse admonishment, and eloquent enough to cover up his mistakes!

If so, a hundred years later, when she arrives at Yonghou Mausoleum, how will she look when she goes to see the late emperor and her ancestors?

It was precisely because of this concern that Empress Dowager Gao could only remain silent inside the curtain, and could only allow the officials outside the curtain to discuss and deliberate.

However, this kind of matter involving etiquette and law is also related to the discussion about the ownership of authority in the world in the future.

And where can the ministers speak clearly in a few words? And can they speak clearly?

All ministers hold their own opinions.

Especially Wang Gui and Cai Que, because of their respective positions, refused to give in to each other.

Not only in front of the king, but also in the Funing Hall at this moment, there are already two tall and tall men in purple robes, staring at each of the ministers and ministers with wide eyes.

I'm afraid that a full-scale martial arts show may be staged in front of the Palace of Funing.

Unfortunately, this matter still needs to come to a result as soon as possible.

Because Hanlin scholars need to compose the lyrics in front of the imperial court. They must write the complete lyrics for the emperor tonight, and they will be read out in the court tomorrow morning.

Under various conditions and constraints, we are bound by various restrictions.

After several confrontations, the ministers all understood that it was impossible for them to convince each other.

Therefore, they can only turn their attention to the only person who can make a final judgment on this without causing sequelae - the emperor on the sick bed.

"You two gentlemen, why don't you come to the king to ask for instructions? How about seeing the holy will?" Li Qingchen's proposal quickly gained support from others except Wang Gui.

Wang Gui, who was unable to support himself alone, could only nod his head after thinking for a moment: "Bang Zhi's proposal is very good!"

Wang Gui and Cai Que once again led the ministers to report to Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang. After obtaining permission, they came to the king.

However, when they arrived in front of the king, they found that the official lying on the bed had fallen into a coma again at some point.

The ministers looked at each other in shock.

The official family's illness has reached this point? This is something they did not expect, and it also pushed them to the edge of the cliff.

The reason is simple: now that the officials don’t know when they will wake up, if they are still unable to do so, they must make the necessary decisions and unify their opinions.

Well, as time goes by, this matter will become more and more difficult!

If it continues to be delayed, until Da Zongzheng and King Si Pu arrive, they will still not be able to reach an agreement.

Believe it or not, Da Zongzheng and King Si Pu are going to go crazy?

Normally, both Da Zongzheng and Si Puwang are mascots.

But now, they can really control the ministers on this issue.

They must also be willing to embarrass the governors on this matter, so as to prove to the world that they are all loyal ministers and good clan members of the Song Dynasty!

Even more behaving well to the empress dowager, empress, and prince!

As long as this thing is done well, the descendants of Da Zong Zheng and King Si Pu will benefit in the future.

When the little prince grows up, as long as he thinks about what Dazongzheng and King Sipu were like back then, with a little lift of his hand, he can save several years of hardship for their descendants!

Therefore, the ministers could only turn their attention to the only person who could make a decision on this matter.

The sixth son of the emperor, Prince of Yan'an County, will be the crown prince tomorrow!

Although he is only eight years old!

Even though he is just a child!

But in the current situation, when the officials are sleeping.

He is the only one who can make the final decision.

He is also the only one who can end the debate on this matter in this Funing Hall!

Therefore, even the ministers felt that it was extremely absurd in their hearts - the prince was only eight years old! He was a child with a yellow mouth, could he clearly distinguish the importance?

But, they have no way out.

Da Zongzheng and King Sipu may come to Funing Palace at any time.
