40. Palace change

After raising it for nearly a month, Concubine Jing's health was finally good, and Chu Xue no longer entered the palace every day.

The kind of place in the harem, there are too many rights and wrongs, she is a side concubine, she shouldn't go often, before she had to take care of Jing Guifei, but now the queen has been seized of power, Jing Guifei is good, as the highest-ranking concubine, of course, she has to take care of the six palaces, and she has no time to take care of him, and Chu Xue is at ease in the backyard of the palace.

She is the only female dependent in the palace of Nuoda, and this is the first time she has had such an experience since marrying Song Chen, which makes her both fresh and comfortable. Song Chen is of course very busy, but she can also go to his study when the front yard is clean, send him a bowl of sweet soup to cool off the heat, hand him a plate of cool melons and fruits, beat his back and pinch his shoulders, and wait for him to rest for a quarter of an hour or two before leaving and going back to his yard. This is something she would never do in Yanzhou, where there are many people.

Then, when dinner was served, they waited for him to return at the door, and the two sat down at the table hand in hand and ate together.

In fact, a lifetime and a couple, isn't it such a dull and quiet day, this time back to Beijing, finally let her experience a taste of monopolizing him that may not be in her life.

On this day, she personally made a bowl of lily mung bean sweet soup, only put a little rock sugar, just overshadowed the astringency of the mung beans, it tasted very good, and it was chilled after cooling, and after lunch, she personally sent it to Song Chen's study.

Song Chen has been discussing important matters with people since he received a secret letter from Liangzhou in the morning, and he has just had lunch until now.

Taking advantage of his soup drinking, she gently pinched his shoulder, her hand was gentle and powerful, the person who pinched it was very comfortable, he enjoyed it for a while, afraid that she would be tired, so he pulled the pair of small soft hands and hugged the person to his lap.

"I've been busy these past few days, and I've snubbed you."

He looked at the beauty in his arms and stroked her face with the back of his fingers.

"It's good that the prince is busy with you, you don't have to worry about the concubine." She smiled softly.

"Okay." He kissed her lightly on the cheek and promised, "Wait for a while, I will accompany you well." ”

She nodded slightly, the corners of her lips curled deeply.

After staring at her for a while, he suddenly felt a little moved, and whispered in her ear: "Why don't you stay, and then leave with me after resting?" ”

She was vigilant.

Recently, things have been a lot of thoughts, he hasn't touched her for several nights, and it's actually easy to get angry in such a posture right now, if it's at night, it's okay, but in the middle of the day, it's still in the study......

She immediately struggled to get up, but he held her back.

Seeing that her big hand had slipped into the placket of her clothes, her face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, this is the study...... Wait for the evening......"

"I haven't touched it for a few days, why do I seem to have grown up a little?" He ignored her persuasion, but pretended to be provocative, and his voice became hoarse.

She knew him too well to know that the struggle was futile, and was about to close her eyes when she heard a sound outside the door.

"Lord Wang, there is a guest visiting."

His hand stopped, and she hurried to her feet.

It's the lunch break, usually no one visits, but anyone who chooses this time to come basically has important things, she understands this, straightens out her appearance, and says to him: "The prince has important things, and the concubine will go back first." ”

The shape of these days is delicate, Song Chen knows that this is the most critical moment, and he can't slack off in the slightest, so he nodded and let her go back.

When he heard who came to see him, Song Chen was overjoyed.

The person who came was Qin Mu and his son.

After going through several turmoil in Beijing this time, the majority of the people in the DPRK and China have turned to him, but most of them are civilian officials. Although the imperial court has not fought for many years, and the emperor has withdrawn military power, if he ascends the throne in the future, the support of the generals is also indispensable, and it can even be called crucial.

Of course, he has military power in his own hands, but that is in Yanzhou, and now in Beijing, he only has his wife and brother Xu Jilin, a military general, and now Qin Mu comes to see him, he must have the intention of surrendering, so that he has one more available general.

Who is Qin Mu? His Qin family army once worked with the former Yue family army to level the northern frontier for the imperial court, so that those barbarians did not dare to invade for many years, in exchange for the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Qi country over the years.

If Xu Jilin was crowned Pingnanhou because of his contribution to quelling the war in southern Xinjiang, Qin Mu could actually be crowned Pingbeihou, but because he had too close contacts with Yue Lan in the past, and because of Yue Lan's choked thorn in his throat, Emperor Jianhe never sealed him, but this did not affect his prestige as a general.

As a general with great military achievements and terrifying to the barbarians in northern Xinjiang, he has not taken the initiative to show favor to anyone for so many years, and he has always been neutral in the court, so it is not easy to get him now.

What's more, there is also his son Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan is a talent in his own right, not to mention that he is still in the Beijing Health Division.

And what the Beijing Health Division can mobilize is the tens of thousands of troops in the capital close at hand, which is really not to be underestimated.

Song Chen immediately cheered up and greeted Qin Mu's father and son.

When Chu Xue exited the study, the subordinate was leading Qin Mu's father and son over, and Qin Mu caught a glimpse of her through the verdant flowers and trees in the yard. In his heart, the last time he saw her, it was at the palace banquet last year, and he didn't know her identity at that time, and now everyone in the capital knows that King Heng only brought his favorite concubine Chu to Beijing this time, Qin Mu naturally knows who the figure dangling in front of him is.

Wenwen, it's good to see that you're still alive!

How much Qin Mu wanted to step forward and take a closer look at her, to take a good look at the only bloodline left by the Yue family, but now was not the time to recognize each other.

He sighed silently in his heart, turned his head to look at Qin Yuan, who was unaware behind him, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

If he hadn't always misunderstood Chu Lin and was a stranger to Chu Lin, he might have had the opportunity to meet Wenwen earlier, and Wenwen wouldn't have to marry into this bottomless palace, the one who loves her should be his own family!

But now there is no turning back, and for the sake of Wenwen, he also has to participate in this coming storm.

Qin Mu raised his head, his eyes showed determination, and walked into King Heng's study.

~~~

Three days later, at the end of the ugly hour, Funing Palace.

The chaotic footsteps woke up Emperor Jianhe and Concubine Jing in the dormitory. Emperor Jianhe opened his eyes in his sleep, and the hall should have been pitch black, but there seemed to be light and shadow outside the tent.

Emperor Jianhe was slightly uneasy, and sat up from the bed and called out in a deep voice.

But no one responded outside the door.

Concubine Jing, who was hiding behind him, had clearly sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere, and tentatively spoke, "Your Majesty, ......"

Emperor Jianhe raised his hand and stopped her words, but the expression in the darkness was already extremely ugly.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded outside the door, "Father, you are awake, please forgive your son's unfilial piety, your son is coming in now." ”

As the sound fell, the door of the temple was pushed open, and the lights of the hall were lit up, and one person opened the tent.

The person who came was the crown prince.

Emperor Jianhe's face was covered with dark clouds, and he looked coldly at his son who dared to break into his bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, the crown prince did not intend to salute him, but just stood a foot away and looked at his father.

Concubine Jing exclaimed, "Prince, you ......"

"What do you want to do?"

Emperor Jianhe asked him in a deep voice.

The corners of the prince's mouth curved into a chuckle, and he said, "Presumably, my father has already guessed what his son wants to do." Father, you pushed your sons too much, and now your sons have to do it themselves, and you want to get back what belongs to your sons. ”

"Your stuff?" The father's eyes were a little inexplicable, and he said coldly: "I have already given you all your things, and what I haven't opened my mouth before I open my mouth is all my ......."

"Does that include this?" The prince held up a golden object in his hand, interrupting him for the first time in his life.

The two people on the bed looked at it, and what was held by the prince in his hand was actually the jade seal dragon seal that should have been in the imperial study of the Qinzheng Palace! Concubine Jing was immediately shocked: "Prince! You are disrespectful and will be spurned by all ages! ”

"You should say these words to your own son!" The crown prince sneered and turned his eyes to look at his father, "Father, not only this dragon seal, but now the entire harem and inner court are already in the hands of the sons, oh yes, there will even be the entire capital later." If you still remember our father-son relationship, please write a letter of succession now, and pass on your dragon throne to your son, and then your son will send you and Concubine Jing to a quiet place to live in a quiet place, and no one will disturb you......"

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Jianhe sneered and interrupted and asked, "What if I don't want to?" ”

The prince really laughed at this moment, and he smiled: "If you don't want to, you can only be wronged to wait in Funing Palace for a while, and when the son gets the third child here, he will send you and Concubine Jing's family of three to the West Heaven Bliss." ”

"Rebel!"

Emperor Jianhe finally roared out the anger in his heart.

But this is not the usual, the person who had knelt down when he saw him angry in the past is no longer the prince in front of him, the prince smiled again: "Father, don't blame the sons for today's disobedience, this is all forced by you, the queen mother and you have been with you for more than 30 years, and you have used up her maiden family, and you have not kicked it away mercilessly...... Besides, I heard that you seemed to sit on the dragon chair in this way, so it seems that Erchen is just following your example. ”

"What's more, Erchen is still the crown prince and your successor. You can rest assured, Erchen will definitely govern our Great Qi Song clan better than now, and you will definitely smile at Jiuquan. ”

"Just you?" Emperor Jianhe also smiled, he sighed and shook his head, "You don't know how many catties and taels you have?" If it were Ji Ting, I might still be able to believe it, but you ......"

As soon as he heard Emperor Jianhe mention King Heng, the crown prince suddenly became impatient, and he interrupted his father's words again, "If your father doesn't believe it, don't believe it, since you like the third child so much, Erchen will bring him now, so that your family of three can be reunited as soon as possible." ”

After that, he threw down his dragon pattern wide sleeves and went straight out of the temple gate.

Tonight's palace changes, all in his plan, now just wait for Zeng Xin's mobilized army to surround the Hengwang Mansion and capture King Heng, and at dawn, he can directly ascend the throne and sit on the dragon chair that has been waiting for more than 30 years. Anyway, the sixth king of Rui has already brought people to meet him outside the capital, and the king of the fifth god is already on the way to come, even if the Yan army of the third person rushes thousands of miles to the capital, it is impossible to save the fire from far water.

What's more, he will never let the third child live until dawn!

The last assassination in the dense forest of Luzhou, he didn't plan it, he didn't expect that a few guards around King Heng would be able to get rid of his two hundred dead soldiers, but tonight is different, no matter how powerful King Heng's Mansion is, he doesn't believe that he can defeat the five thousand elite soldiers in the capital!

As for the beauty next to the third child, well, you can taste it first, and when you get tired of playing, you can directly reward it to the fifth child, after all, you are also like this in the secret letter.

Just when the prince's wishful thinking was just right, King Heng really took advantage of the night to come outside the palace gate, but he was not arrested, but led three thousand soldiers to come.

As for Zeng Xin of the Jing Wei Division, he had already been subdued by Qin Yuan in a certain guard.
