After lunch, he left the Jin Palace, and got into the carriage of the Yang Mansion, Xiaoyu saw Yulan's eyebrows fluttering, and said strangely, "The girl looks very happy,"

Yulan touched his face and said, "Yes," secretly blaming himself for not being able to hold his breath,

Xiaoyu nodded affirmatively, and asked a little curiously, "What good things did the girl see?"

Yulan coughed and disguised, "It's nothing,"

Xiaoyu picked up the kettle on the small table, made a cup of tea, handed it to Yulan and said, "Didn't you say that you want to listen to the play, why didn't I hear the gong?" She was dragged by the maidservants of the palace to drink tea in the side courtyard for a day, and now she is still confused.

"Oh, that, it's a literary opera today, without gongs and drums!" Isn't it a big drama between her and Ye Yichen today!

After Yulan returned home, the next day Qi sent someone to send a gift, which was a few good satin produced in the palace, and Yulan knew that this was the prince who borrowed Qi's hand to give her a gift. Yulan took it beautifully. Who knew that in the next few days, the prince sent people to give gifts every day, gold, silver jewelry, fine nephrite, cloth and antiques, and sent them in like flowing water, and the entire Yang Mansion was sideways. Yuxia knew about it, and she was even more angry.

It took a lot of time for Yulan to finally fool the eldest lady, just as Qi sent another post, Yulan hurried to the palace. Entering the small courtyard, I saw Ye Yichen sitting in the top position leisurely drinking tea, he was wearing a purple robe, wearing a golden crown of hair, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, sideburns like ink, and the brilliance between the eyebrows, which made people unable to take their eyes off it for a while.

Yulan sat on the chair next to him angrily: "Lord Wang, you are roasting me on the stove!" ”

The prince smiled and said, "If not, how can you be willing to enter the gate of the palace again this time?" ”

"Huh? So you did it on purpose?! Yulan has indeed made up her mind, if the prince asks Qi to send a post to herself, she will definitely find a reason to refuse. As a lady, you always have to be reserved, if you are called to come and go, what will it be?

It's just that I didn't expect the prince to completely figure out her thoughts, and even forced her to come to the door in this way.

Yulan looked at his handsome and vulgar silhouette, and secretly beat a drum in his heart: This man is really terrible, if he really marries him in the future, won't he eat all the bones and dregs.

The prince smiled faintly and said: "You are a concubine, your biological mother has a low status, and she has suffered a lot of grievances in the Yang Mansion. Since you promised to marry me as a concubine in the future, from now on, you will naturally not be able to suffer a little grievance, I asked someone to send you those things, you use them first, since you said that this gift is too eye-catching, okay, I have a silver ticket here, you take the pocket flowers first, if you need anything, just ask someone to buy it, you must not let you be wronged! ”

After saying that, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, Yulan looked at the numbers on the silver ticket, and was almost knocked out on the spot: "One ...... Ten thousand taels? "At that time, a first-class official's annual salary was only four or five hundred taels of silver, and the dowry of many young ladies from large families was only a few thousand taels of silver, and the prince gave himself 10,000 taels of silver and pocket flowers, and he was too generous!

There was a hint of playfulness in the prince's eyes, as if he was laughing at her for not seeing the world: "What, too little?" ”

Yulan stumbled: "Enough, enough!" But my lord, you gave me so much silver...... Is it appropriate? ”

The prince snorted and said, "If I say it's suitable, it's suitable!" You don't have a younger brother, and you have a good relationship, if you are worried about the suspicion of your family, give him this silver ticket, let him buy things for you, I see that he is a talent, and you can rest assured that he will do things. ”

Yulan looked at Ye Yichen with shocked eyes: "You investigated all the people around me?" ”

The corners of Ye Yichen's mouth hooked up a faint arc: "Isn't this the most basic?" The prince took a sip of tea and said, "If your fifth sister bullies you again, you can just tell me, I have my own way to help you clean her up!" ”

Do you want to get involved in the house fight? Yulan has already thrown himself to the ground. "You have a way to do this, too?"

The prince said lightly: "Don't underestimate your prince's ability!" "Your lord, I can't do anything except not be able to have children?

Yulan shook his hand: "No, I didn't mean that...... "I just think, I think it's a bit of a victory for you to do this!"

This time, she finally understood what he said that day: "But as long as there is me for a day, I will make you happy for a day!" We will never let you suffer the slightest grievance! "What the hell does it mean, it's really ...... to have such a person who spoils her, gives her money to spend, and helps him support him Happy!

The imperial study of the Qianqing Palace.

The orthodox emperor, who was sitting behind the bookcase, asked, "I asked you to investigate the assassination of Heishigou, but there is no result?" Was this the work of the sixteenth brother? ”

Wang You, the commander of the horses, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, but there is no progress, those traitors are very cunning, they have not left any useful clues, Weichen is stupid, and they have found nothing!" Please punish the sins of the ministers! ”

Orthodoxy sighed and said, "Since they dare to do such a rebellious thing, I'm afraid that they have already planned carefully, and it is normal that you have not found out the results." Arise up, I know that you are faithful, and naturally I will not inflict sin on you. Hey, I'm tired, you go down first! ”

Wang You breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed again, and then walked backwards out of the imperial study. As soon as Wang You came out, Wang Ying walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge: "Your Majesty, you only ate a little bit of breakfast, and you were busy all morning, the servant asked the small kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge, do you want to eat a little first!" "Since the emperor returned to the Forbidden City, he has always been unable to sleep, and he always has night sweats at night, and his body is getting worse day by day, and it is not of much use to take the prescription of the imperial doctor.

The emperor looked at the bowl of bird's nest porridge that was still steaming, he had barely eaten in the morning, but now he didn't feel hungry at all, he shook his hand and said, "Take it down, take it down, I have no appetite!" ”

Wang Ying had no choice but to hand over the bird's nest porridge to the little eunuch on the side to take it. He stood behind the emperor and gently beat his back, and the emperor asked, "What is the movement in Beijing these days?" ”

In addition to serving by the emperor's side, Wang Ying is also the palm seal eunuch of Dongchang, holding a large number of secret spies, and is the emperor's eyes and ears in Beijing. Wang Ying's words are carefully and authentic; "Long live Lord Qiyu, there is nothing else, that is, the people of the people are grateful to the sixteen princes for their efforts in protecting the Jingshi, and many townships are spontaneously raising funds to build shrines for him!"

When the emperor heard this, he grabbed a seal on the bookcase with one hand, and his knuckles were faintly white: "Isn't there a common people who are sensible and knowledgeable to build a shrine for me?" ”

Wang Ying was stumbling for a long time and didn't dare to speak.

Orthodoxy understood everything, sighed and said: "For example, the people today only know that there is a king of Jin in the road, but they don't know that there is an emperor, so what can I do!" Hey......"

The emperor sighed, Wang Ying remembered that Xiao Zongchang asked him to speak well in front of the emperor, and said with courage: "Your Majesty, although the prince has made great contributions, he has now happily handed over the military power, and the slave feels that the traitor on the black stone ditch may be someone who has planted the blame for the prince!" I see, in addition to the Sixteenth Master, others are also suspicious! ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "The other person you are talking about, but is it the prince?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the emperor forgives the sin!" Wang Ying knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, he was a eunuch, but he didn't dare to say that the prince was not, this was the most suitable for the emperor.

There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's voice: "Do you want to say that if the assassination of Heishigou is successful, the biggest beneficiary will be the prince!" So the biggest suspect in this matter is not the sixteenth brother, but the prince who was established by me. Isn't it, huh? ”

Wang Ying kowtowed repeatedly, and her forehead was already dark. He has been following the emperor, figuring out that the emperor is becoming more and more disappointed in the prince, and it seems that he already has a little bit of the intention of abolishing the prince, so he provoked the relationship between the prince and the emperor under the instigation of Xiao Zongchang and Xiao Zongsheng. But I didn't expect that I had fallen into someone else's trap.

The emperor slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Bold minion, someone told me before that you were doing anything wrong outside, oppressing the people, □ the minister, and even more so that you were bribed and trying to frame the prince, I didn't believe it at first, it turned out that all this was true." ”

"Come on, drag this eunuch down, play forty boards, and send Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables!"

"Yes!" A few guards broke into the door, and they couldn't help but say, and walked out with him, "The emperor spares his life, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" Wang Ying shouted again and again, but was given a mouth by a eunuch who took the lead: "Bastard, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor!" ”

Wang Ying raised his head, it was Meng Chong in front of him, his face was full of hatred and contempt at the moment, thinking that he had fought with him for several years, and finally lost in the hands of this silent and bad old eunuch, Wang Ying only felt that his blood was rushing, and his eyes were blood-red.

Meng Chong's face was full of pride. Wang Ying has always wanted to replace him, but today he was finally completely overthrown by himself, and he couldn't help but be very proud. All this is thanks to Concubine Hui of Jingyang Palace!

Wang Ying was removed from all his positions in the inner court, he was finished, and after a while, the news spread all over the harem, in the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xiao was so angry that she smashed an antique porcelain from the previous dynasty: "Wang Ying, this idiot, this palace has given him so much support, he can't even fight an ignorant and stupid Meng Chong, this time not only is it a bad thing, but also makes the emperor suspicious of King Zhao and the Xiao family, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" ”

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Hui's personal female official Qiu Tong was fanning her. Hearing the news of Wang Ying's expulsion, Concubine Hui just opened her eyes and closed them again. Qiu Tong was her real confidant, and she said in a low voice: "Niangniang is clever, this time Wang Ying is really finished!" ”

Concubine Hui's voice was very soft, and she said lightly: "This is also thanks to the fact that the prince helped us collect enough evidence to bring down Wang Ying outside." If it is a normal day, even if Wang Ying has a big crime, the emperor will not punish him easily, but now that the sixteenth master has made great achievements, the emperor is worried, afraid that the throne will be unstable, Wang Ying will collect money everywhere in the name of the emperor, and the emperor will be so angry! The words that Bengong taught Meng Chong will also work like this! ”

Qiu Tong hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Niangniang's hole is subtle, and she has calculated the emperor's thoughts, so that Wang Ying has no possibility of turning over, and it has also dealt a big blow to the power of the Xiao Party!" ”

Concubine Hui smiled slightly and said, "If the crown prince collapsed so easily, wouldn't it be for nothing that King Zhao and the Xiao family were cheapened!" ”
