After the two of them left the Dragon Terrace, they could vaguely hear the laughter of Emperor Yongzhen behind them.

Xiao Jinyu hung his head, and couldn't help but smear ridicule in his eyes, while Xiao Zhuozi shook the dust in his hand, which was a little meaningful.

Emperor Yongzhen is old after all.

In the past, he would never be soft-hearted for these things.

The two didn't speak, and went directly to the treasury in the palace, Xiao Jinyu picked a few things and left the palace, and Xiao Zhuozi also accompanied Xiao Jinyu out of the palace because he was instructed by Emperor Yongzhen.

After the two got into the carriage, Xiao Zhuozi said, "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Xiao Jinyu's face no longer had the youthful look he had when he faced Emperor Yongzhen in the palace.

He had a cold look on his face, and even a little bit of self-disgust: "What is there to congratulate, it's just pretending." ”

Since he learned about the events of the year from Chen An's mouth, Xiao Jinyu no longer has those admiration for Emperor Yongzhen, and every time he faces him, he only feels disgusted, and even wants to stay away.

But even if he felt disgusting in his heart and didn't want to get close, on the surface, he still tried his best to please him, and even let him take him to heart.

He went to great lengths to make such a play today, and finally made Emperor Yongzhen completely relieve his suspicions about him, but he knew that as long as Emperor Yongzhen did not appoint him as the prince one day, this hypocritical response would have to persist for a day, just because this was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Xiao Zhuozi glanced at Xiao Jinyu when he heard this: "Your Highness, those who have achieved great things need to be able to endure the unbearable of ordinary people, and after Your Majesty becomes the prince, you don't need to endure it anymore." ”

"I know. ”

Xiao Jinyu said in a deep voice.

He just didn't like it in his heart.

Xiao Zhuozi didn't say much when he saw this, and seeing Xiao Jinyu's expression, he could only turn his voice and ask: "Your Highness, why don't you tell Concubine Yun about these things, if she cooperates, you can get twice the result with half the effort?"

Xiao Jinyu frowned: "The mother concubine is timid and doesn't like to compete, although I can persuade her to let her cooperate with me, but I can't guarantee that she will be afraid of showing traces, and my father's mind is too heavy, too eager will make him suspicious, and too much traces." ”

"But Concubine Yun doesn't know this, if she says the wrong thing......"

"No, it won't. ”

Xiao Jinyu shook her head, "I know my mother, she is afraid of fighting in the palace, but she really has affection for her father, so she has been hiding in the palace for so many years just to protect herself, but she is stubbornly guarding the acacia tree given to her by her father." ”

"After my mother knew about my adventure out of Beijing, she would definitely blame me for being willful and impulsive, and she would also be afraid that I would drag down the Guo family, but she would not say in front of me that my father was wrong. ”

In Concubine Yun's previous words, she would be afraid that the emperor would blame, she would be afraid that the palace would dump, she would be worried that he would cause trouble, and she would not blindly defend Emperor Yongzhen.

Although this will seem like she is timid and afraid, it is more real.

Only the most genuine reaction can deceive Emperor Yongzhen, who is too suspicious and jealous.

Before Xiao Jinyu left Feng'an Mountain, he had listened to Feng Qiao carefully analyze Emperor Yongzhen's temperament, and when he talked to Liao Chuxiu that night, he knew some of Emperor Yongzhen's secrets, he knew that Emperor Yongzhen would never like Concubine Yun's timid and cowardly temperament, and would even be angry because she gave in to everything, but with that acacia tree, coupled with Concubine Yun's unintentional friendship for him over the years, he would not blame Concubine Yun.

After all, no one really hates someone who has affection for them, but never causes trouble.

Xiao Jinyu didn't want Concubine Yun to regain favor, but she couldn't let Emperor Yongzhen get tired of her, so now the result is just right.

Emperor Yongzhen will let the people below take care of her a little more because of Concubine Yun's friendship, so that the palace will be jealous of Concubine Yun, but he will not be tempted by her to spoil her again.

Xiao Jinyu didn't want Concubine Yun to have anything to do with Emperor Yongzhen anymore.

After Xiao Jinyu took Xiao Zhuozi to Guo's house, Guo Chongzhen came out to meet the two in person, and Xiao Zhuozi did not leave immediately, but followed Xiao Jinyu into the house, and then met Feng Qizhou, who had not appeared in the court for a long time, at Guo's house.

Liao Chuxiu sat beside him.

"Lord Feng, Lord Liao. ”

"Second master, Hou Ye. ”

Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Zhuozi spoke at the same time.

Feng Qizhou raised his head: "What's going on in the palace?"

After Xiao Jinyu returned to Beijing, it was the first time he saw Feng Qizhou, and when he knew his hatred with the royal family, Xiao Jinyu always felt a little short of breath when facing him: "My father believed me and asked me some things. ”

He told Feng Qizhou and several people about what happened between him and Emperor Yongzhen today, including Emperor Yongzhen who asked him if he wanted to be emperor.

After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, several people immediately noticed the careful thoughts he had left on Concubine Yun's affairs.

Feng Qizhou spoke: "Your Highness, if Niangniang can regain His Majesty's favor, you will be a little more relaxed in the palace." ”

Xiao Jinyu said in a deep voice: "The mother concubine is the mother concubine, I am me, I can do everything, but the mother concubine can't." ”

Guo Chongzhen looked at Xiao Jinyu for a long time before he spoke up to Feng Qizhou: "I told you a while ago that Your Highness is different from others, a gentleman does something and does not do something, and even more so for a monarch, Your Highness can have a bottom line in his heart, which is very good." ”

Feng Qizhou's expression remained unchanged when he heard this.

What they want is the wise king, if they can even give up their biological mother, then they have no bottom line, why should they assist.

Feng Qizhou turned his head to look at Liao Chuxiu and Guo Chongzhen: "What do you think of today's events?"

Guo Chongzhen hesitated: "I think Your Majesty is thinking of establishing a prince." ”

Liao Chuxiu said coldly on the side: "Now the rumors in Beijing can't be suppressed at all, Liu Xiangcheng and Xiao Yuanqing will definitely have other plans, he asked Gao Zheng to slaughter the people of the Liu family to force Liu Xiangcheng to appear, if Liu Xiangcheng wants to protect himself, there is only one way to go, that is, to push Xiao Quan, the widow of the prince, to the throne." ”

"I don't know whether the edict of the first emperor in their hands is true or false, but since Xiao Yuanqing has already done it, he will definitely not give up, and Lu Yunhu has already contacted their people and agreed to use Beining to help them succeed. ”

"I think that Emperor Yongzhen may have guessed something and started to guard against this, and I am afraid that he also moved his mind to establish a prince to prevent future troubles, and he was willing to let the Nine Emperor Princes come to see Guo Lao, which means that he does not want the Nine Emperor Princes to lose the help of the Guo family, but the Guo family is only a minister, and Guo Daren and Guo Lao have no real power in their hands as Li Fengqi, and they are affected by Shao Jin, and they are thought to be out of power by many people. ”

"It seems that Shao Jin is probably going to be edicted to return to Beijing in the next few days. ”

Relying on one Guo family alone, he will definitely not be able to suppress King Xiang and the four princes.

If Emperor Yongzhen really wants to make Xiao Jinyu the prince, or regards him as his own back, then he will definitely find the most suitable person for him.
