The news soon spread to every corner of the palace.

"I didn't expect this jade concubine to be favored to such an extent, and even her sister-in-law was handed over to her to raise." Lan Concubine sat in Lanxiang Garden and said to Cao Guiren next to her.

Cao Guiren glanced at the cold palace gate in front of the door, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled disdainfully, "It is said that the emperor is just a temporary freshness, but I think the emperor seems to be interested in this jade concubine." ”

Lan Concubine subconsciously glanced at the door, lowered her voice and whispered, "This jade concubine should not be able to replace the queen one day." ”

When these words were spoken, both of them were silenced.

In King Chen's mansion, King Chen and Lu Yi both frowned and sat opposite each other.

"What the emperor has been doing recently is really getting more and more unpredictable." King Chen sighed.

Lu Yi reached out and poured himself a cup of tea and shook his head, "Instead of worrying about this, you should first worry about why the emperor suddenly sent you to the south for disaster relief." ”

At the beginning of summer, there were several torrential rains in the south, floods, and countless people were displaced.

Originally, this disaster relief work would not have fallen on the prince's head, this work was more dangerous and thankless.

This disaster relief money has always been peeled down layer by layer, and when it really arrives in the disaster area, there are not a few left, and the officialdom entrenched there is all a bit of oil, if it is not a respected minister, how can it be suppressed.

At present, the princes are older than those real ministers, and they don't know much worse than their experience and experience, and if they rush to meddle in the affairs over there, they will touch their noses and not say anything, and if things are not done well, the situation that has finally improved will be reversed in an instant.

"Do you know that the sixth prince was sent by the emperor to be raised under the knees of the jade concubine?" King Chen sneered.

Lu Yi was silent for a long time, and then hesitated to speak, "Is it difficult?" ”

King Chen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, smiling without saying a word.

Lu Yi was shocked, his eyes widened, he looked at the light green tea in his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

"If it's true, then King Xi is too bold, if someone sees the slightest clue about this, this matter will not end well."

King Chen sneered, "As long as it is not seen by others, it is good, now, the King of Creek is in the limelight, where will anyone touch his moldy head at this juncture, it is too late to hide." ”

Lu Yi looked at King Chen, who had gloomy eyes in front of him, and always felt that he had become different from before, the person who had indulged in the mountains and rivers in the past had been completely involved in this power turmoil, and he was mired in the quagmire and couldn't get out.

Lu Yi sighed, suddenly thought of something, and opened his mouth, but looking at King Chen like this, that sentence turned around a few times in his mouth and finally swallowed it.

When the Dark Guard set out to find Xi'er, he also happened to get some news.

But the current King Chen is not suitable to know this, if he tells him, he may not go to the place he said, and the disaster relief in the south will be left behind.

They can't quit now, they can only bite the bullet and go to the end.

He received word that a woman resembling the Jiagui had appeared in a small town in the north.

It's just that the woman is always accompanied by a few people with strong martial arts, and the secret guards can't approach it, so they can't be sure.

"What do you have to say?" King Chen frowned, looked at Lu Yi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and gently put the teacup in his hand on the table.

Lu Yi smiled and shook his head, "No, I just want to remind Your Highness that the south is hot and humid, pay attention to your body, and now the emperor has sent a part of the recital to King Xi's mansion for approval, some inconsequential little things, King Xi is likely to be unfavorable to you." ”

King Chen sneered, "Who do you think came up with this idea of letting this king go to disaster relief, it's not that King Xi privately told the emperor that I am in a gentle mood and can take on a big responsibility." ”

Lu Yi was stunned, he didn't know that there was such a link.

If it was really King Xi who said it, then the war between the two of them seemed to have reached a critical juncture.

"The scientific expedition is just around the corner, and when you come back from the south, maybe a new batch of students have been awarded positions, and the situation will be better at that time than now."

King Chen shook his head with a smile, the corners of his mouth were a little more bitter, now that his father is older, his temperament has also changed a lot, and many courtiers have reacted in private, and his father's style of doing things has changed a lot recently.

Perhaps in these changes, Yuzhu'er is indispensable.

It is said that women are bad for the country, and now it seems that this sentence may still have some truth.

The people who played things related to Yuzhuer above the court were all belittled by their father, and their father's eyes were all occupied by Yuzhuer, and he couldn't see anyone else.

What King Chen thought of, Lu Yi also thought of, just talking about the Son of Heaven, and few people dared to do it.

"Yuzhu'er is the princess of Beiliang and the sister of Wanyan Qilin, and the emperor will not favor him too much." Lu Yi said with relief.

But this innocuous sentence, even if an ordinary minister hears it, he probably won't believe it.

Now the emperor's every move almost shows on the surface that he wants to favor Yuzhuer alone, regardless of the balance between the harem.

There is an advantage to sending the six princes to Fanghua Palace, the recent queen has no intention of making trouble for them, and keeps making trouble in Yikun Palace, but unfortunately the emperor has not been there once.

Lu Yi sighed, "Let's take a step at a time, the emperor's style is uncertain now, I can't guess, I have a person named Chongshan by my side, His Royal Highness is going south this time, it is better to take him with you, and you can protect Your Highness in times of crisis." ”

King Chen nodded, took the person away, and the two separated.

Back at the General's Mansion, it was clear that there were still many attendants and maids in the General's Mansion, but Lu Yi's heart was still empty for a while, as if the entire General's Mansion was empty and unpopular.

Maybe it's because the person he misses the most isn't there.

Lu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth bitterly, and he didn't know where Xi'er was now, what she was doing, whether she was suffering, the fetus in her womb was just full-term, so don't go wrong.

Mingyue silently walked up to serve, since she was the only one left in the entire Jinyun Pavilion, her temperament has calmed down a lot, compared with the previous Mingyue, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

But Lu Yi still misses the scene where she used to be crazy with her.

Lying on the bed, the moonlight outside the window penetrated in, sprinkled on the table and was miserable, and the night was extremely difficult for a person, tossing and turning for most of the night, until the frost and dew had quietly covered the blades of grass, Lu Yi fell asleep.
