A mess!

The cups and plates were shattered, the tea splashed everywhere, and the maids knelt on the ground to clean up the mess.

Zhong Shuyun looked at his elder brother Zhong Shuhao with a puzzled expression.

Zhong Shuhao shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to speak, and be careful to bring a scolding.

Zhong Shuyun nodded, sat down silently, and then asked whispered: "What's wrong?"

"You don't know?" Zhong Shuhao was a little surprised.

Zhong Shuyun was even more confused, "Do I know?"

Zhong Shuhao laughed at himself, not knowing what to say.

silence!

No one spoke.

After cleaning up the mess on the ground, the maids quietly retreated out.

Zhong Shuyun is very uncomfortable and can't sit and stand still.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, the atmosphere in the hall made her depressed and uncomfortable.

She had a premonition that part of her mother's anger came to her.

She suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have come back today.

Or, get up and leave now?

It seems not suitable.

She could only continue to sit awkwardly.

for a long time……

Perhaps Princess Chengyang's anger disappeared, or perhaps she had a new idea, and the atmosphere in the flower hall also changed.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and moistened her hair and her dry throat.

She looked at her daughter, "Shuyun, why did you suddenly come back today?"

Zhong Shuyun said carefully: "My daughter misses her mother, come back and have a look."

Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not because she missed me, but because the third prince was appointed as the crown prince. You are happy, so you come back."

Zhong Shuyun smiled awkwardly, "You can't hide anything from your mother. My cousin did not disappoint his mother's expectations. After years of planning, the dust finally settled. My mother can rest assured."

Princess Chengyang sneered, "Do you think I should rest assured?"

Zhong Shuyun looked confused.

This tone is wrong, did she say the wrong thing?

"Why is my mother angry?" she asked boldly.

Princess Chengyang stared at her, "Do you know it really or not?"

"My daughter really doesn't know."

Princess Chengyang suddenly burst into laughter, not knowing whether to scold or slap it out.

She was very depressed, "Xiao Chengyi was appointed as the crown prince, which is naturally a good thing, proving that the palace's original vision was not wrong. But... do you know that in addition to the establishment of the crown prince, the emperor also issued another order to adjust officials from various departments of the court. The first thing to do is our Zhong family. Do you know what this means?"

With the sound of Zhong Shuyun, she remembered that there was indeed such a decree. But she was happy and didn't care about the specific content of this decree.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Bang!

Princess Chengyang slapped the table and was furious, "Just just now, the emperor started to suppress the Zhong family. He is guarding against me! Are you afraid that I will interfere in the government affairs? It's really too much! I am his own sister. He is willing to believe in Empress Tao and value the Tao family, but he is unwilling to believe in me. Is this palace so untrustworthy?"

This is what made Princess Chengyang very angry.

In the eyes of the emperor, she is not as good as Queen Tao?

The Zhong family is not as good as the Tao family?

She was so angry!

If her own son hadn't stopped her, she would have entered the palace now and asked for an explanation.

Don't bully people like this.

"Don't calm down!" Zhong Shuhao's tone was calm, "This result was expected."

"I'm not sure! I am his biological sister, the biological sister of a mother. Why should he be careful of me? Just because I am worried that I will interfere in the government affairs? Empress Tao interferes in the government affairs, he is not careful and deliberately guards me. What does it mean? I can't swallow anything I say."

Zhong Shuhao ignored her emotions and continued, "It can be seen from the decrees of Your Majesty that Your Majesty and Empress Tao should have truly reconciled, rather than the false intentions we think. This means that when the Third Highness ascends the throne, Empress Tao will regain power. Even if the Third Highness does not intend to suppress the Zhong family, Empress Tao will not let the Zhong family go."

"She dares!" Princess Chengyang was furious.

Zhong Shuhao said calmly: "Of course she dares! She is the queen mother, and the Northern Army will also stand on her side. Since Your Majesty gave us the steps of the Zhong family, it is better for my mother to follow the steps. The Zhong family is rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and there is no need to fight against Your Majesty."

Princess Chengyang held the armrest of the chair tightly, and she was really unwilling to give up.

She stared at her own son, "Don't you want to make a name for yourself or make achievements in the court? Since you were a primary school student of literature and martial arts, your talent is not as weak as any other person, so you don't want to become famous all over the world?"

Zhong Shuhao smiled, "My son doesn't have that big ambition."

"You are so disappointing to me. A good man is determined by all directions. As my son, why are you so decadent and have no ambition?"

Zhong Shuhao lowered his head and smiled, "What is the intention to be ambitious? Being a high-ranking official is considered progressive, or becoming a powerful minister is considered progressive? If your son can protect the Zhong family's huge family business and prevent the Zhong family from falling into defeat in his son's hands, he will be worthy of the ancestors of the Zhong family."

"You fart! If you want the Zhong family's family business to be defeated, you have to be an official and a senior official. Just a relative of the foreign country will sooner or later be like the Tao family, everyone will be slaughtered."

"Mom, don't forget that Mr. Tao was the first position and the third official, and no one had a higher official position than him. What was the result? He ended up with a different body and head."

"That's different. Xiao Chengyi has more conscience than His Majesty..."

"Why……"

Zhong Shuhao sighed, "If my mother places her hope on whether someone has a conscience, the Zhong family is in danger!"

Princess Chengyang was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

Zhong Shuyun said weakly: "My cousin shouldn't attack the Zhong family no matter what."

"It doesn't mean it doesn't mean it doesn't do it. Sometimes the situation is stronger than others, forcing people to make cruel decisions."

Zhong Shuyun's eyes turned red, "Why do my brother always likes to say despicable words? Can't you think about the benefits?"

Zhong Shuhao laughed and said, "I also want to think about the better, but the current situation has forced people to make the worst plans. Your Majesty is seriously ill and has not had much time to go. The rebels are getting worse and worse, and foreign races frequently head south to invade.

With internal and external troubles, no matter who is sitting in the palace, he will be able to be ruthless when necessary. At that time, the people are booming, who can guarantee that the Zhong family will be able to be safe? Even if it is a mother, the princess of the Great Wei, it cannot be said that the Zhong family will be 100% rich and honorable for a lifetime."

Zhong Shuyun lowered her eyes, her eyes were moist, and her heart was uncomfortable.

Zhong Shuhao patted his shoulder, "If it were ten years ago, or even five years ago, I wouldn't have said something like that. But now, the situation is so bad that I have to make the worst plan."

Princess Chengyang, "Shuhao, what you mean, don't you have hope for the Northern Army to fight against the Wuheng Royal Court?"
