Unexpectedly, the result of this temptation shocked him.

The reward is gone, and the tribute will be doubled next year, and the life of the lord of the kingdom will be very sad. Perhaps, if he can't withstand this pressure, even the position of the lord of the country is in jeopardy.

But this martial arts exercise was provoked by him, and in the face of such a clear victory or defeat, he couldn't think of any other way but to admit defeat.

Afterwards, he slowly figured out a way. See if you can bribe a few ministers to say something good for Dongyingguo, and ask the prince to reward him with some gifts so that he can return to China on a mission.

He was so bitter that he didn't hear the sound of Xiaoquanzi's screaming, and he didn't even know when the lively noise would fade.

When he got up again, he was the only one on the high platform. The envoys were annoyed that he had dragged down the nations, and no one called him when he left.

After the crowd dispersed, the originally lively martial arts arena seemed empty and deserted. The cold wind blew, making him shiver fiercely in a cold sweat. When he looked around, he felt desolate.

He walked down from the stone platform step by step. He was greeted only by the samurai who belonged to the Eastern Ying Kingdom, who were spurned by the samurai and were embarrassed at the moment.

The round-faced messenger took a deep breath, barely picking himself up. He smiled and greeted the forbidden army guarding the arena before returning to the embassy with the samurai back to the embassy.

……

Prince's Mansion, lobby.

The generals and ministers belonging to the prince's mansion gathered together, and everyone was smiling. Xungui has the descendants of the four major princes, the military generals have Fan Bin, Han Yi and others, and the civil ministers have Fang Xiaoyu, Quan Moxian and other young junjie.

Today's martial arts exercise is really very satisfying. Everyone gathered in the prince's mansion to drink and celebrate.

Surrounded by everyone in the center, it is Liu Qiran, who has made great contributions today. He put down the wine glass in his hand, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Liu Qiran represents the Pingguo Mansion, and I am willing to follow His Highness's side and follow the work of dogs and horses!"

At this time, he pledged his allegiance, which is really a good time.

The prince smiled and helped him up with his own hands, and said, "Such a fierce general, how can I be willing to only let you serve as a dog and a horse?"

Everyone laughed happily with the prince's words.

"The establishment of the six guards rate of the East Palace is not full, if the prince does not dislike it, is he willing to succumb to the position of the right guard rate?"

His position as crown prince was equivalent to receiving an order in danger, and he was ordered to go on an expedition shortly after receiving the order.

Although the Ministry of Rites changed the Qi Palace's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion in accordance with the regulations, the Zhan Mansion was changed to the East Palace Six Guards Rate. There is also Fang Xiaoyu in the rear to sit for him, but the selection of officials among them still needs to be designated by him.

He returned to Beijing in triumph, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he immediately went to the court to watch the government. This is the trust that Emperor Qinglong gave him, and it is also a test for him, he tried his best to do better, and he couldn't take care of the establishment of the Wei Mansion.

Liu Qiran raised his head in surprise, this is really a very good thing! He can be the right guard in the six guard rates, and in the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be the rising star of the military generals in the DPRK and China.

At that time, it is possible for him to become a general in the Gyeonggi battalion, the northern and southern ya, or a general who is sent out to guard the frontier.

The Pingguo Mansion will rise again!

"Your Highness, the last general will definitely be smeared with his heart and brain to repay His Highness's great kindness!"

The crown prince smiled slightly, but the imperial skills taught to him by Emperor Qinglong sounded in his head. Knowing this, he has completely gained Liu Qiran's loyalty, not just because of his identity.

Today's martial arts, it is not only Liu Qiran who has made meritorious contributions. Without Wu Zhengxiang's efforts to turn the tide, it is really unclear how the battle situation will be.

The prince raised a toast, and everyone followed in an uproar, Rao is Wu Zhengxiang drank a lot of alcohol, and he was also a little dizzy.

Seeing that the hour was not early, this temporary drinking also came to an end.

"Everyone," the prince raised his glass again and said, "Relying on your support, I can have today alone! The day after tomorrow, please bring your family to the house for a gathering." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and echoed the prince, and they all responded.

……

It's night, the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The night was like ink, and the whole mansion was left only with the wind lamps by the road and the mother-in-law guarding the door, and people had fallen asleep, quiet and peaceful.

Just after the ugly hour, Bilu, a confidant beside the crown princess, woke her up softly, dressed her up, put on a thick cloak to keep out the cold, and came to a side room at the back of the courtyard.

This side room is only piled up with some sundries, and few people usually visit. In order to avoid people's eyes, there was no charcoal basin in the room, and the cold air invaded at night, making the princess's toes freeze cold.

She hugged the stove in her arms, and couldn't help but think about the purpose of Jasmine's urgent request to see her. Jasmine is indeed a dark chess piece that she buried beside Concubine Yao. But she had instructed in advance that it was not an extremely urgent situation, and the two should not see each other.

She didn't wait long, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Jasmine pushed the door and appeared in front of the crown princess. In her hand, there is the corner door key in the alley behind, so that the idea can sneak out quietly.

This matter is very important, and it is too unsafe to just pass on the message.

"Crown Princess," Jasmine saluted, and whispered the conversation between Concubine Yao and Mrs. Yao that she overheard a few days ago.

Bilu's eyes widened when she heard this, Concubine Yao's courage was too big, and she actually wanted to poison the celebration banquet?

"Do you know who was poisoned?" asked the crown princess, stunned.

Jasmine shook her head and said, "The maid has been secretly observing for a few more days, but Concubine Yao has not shown any more words, and Mrs. Yao has not entered the door again. ”

"However, Yao Fu sent someone to deliver some fresh pomelo yesterday. Jasmine said again: "The maid thinks that the Huangquan Yin should have been in the hands of Concubine Yao." ”

The crown princess got up and paced back and forth in the room. Such astonishing news made her forget about the cold, and she couldn't help thinking about Concubine Yao's purpose.

When the crown prince was still the king of Qi, although the two had no shortage of open and secret fights, they never rose to the point of murdering people. Now that the prince has just become the crown prince and has not yet ascended the throne, she can't wait.

"What do you think?" she had a vague idea in her mind, but needed more opinions.

"The maid thinks that Concubine Yao is killing two birds with one stone. poisoning the heroine's daughter at the celebration banquet, and then blaming you again, intending to replace your position. Jasmine recounted the results of her thoughts over the past few days.

Bilu nodded and added, "The maidservants feel that the target of their attack is the key. will not poison a person who has nothing to do with Yao Mansion for no reason, just to blame it. ”

The crown princess nodded, both of them were reasonable, and this person was the key.

Now that Concubine Yao has obtained the poison, she must not be able to make her wish.

As long as she knows who Concubine Yao is going to poison, she can protect her at the celebration banquet. Otherwise, there are so many female dependents, even if she has that heart, she doesn't have the manpower.

Seeing that she was deep in thought again, Jasmine and Bilu stopped talking and waited quietly for the result.
