Xiao Zhong was proven innocent, returned to Chunning Palace, and praised Xiao Mingyue: "Thanks to my cousin's action this time, otherwise I would have been locked up in Zhang Lintai." ”

Xiao Mingyue was worried about Xiao Zhong and said, "My cousin has no quarrel with the world on weekdays, but I didn't expect that in exchange for being framed like this. ”

Xiao Zhong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Wen would be able to do something to Brother Jing, completely ignoring the feelings of brotherhood. ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "His kind of person, what kind of brotherhood, he almost killed you today, and that Mrs. Xue, I'm sure he was also involved in this matter." ”

Xiao Zhong gasped and said, "Master Taifu grew up watching us grow up, and I didn't expect that he would have such a ghost, but he helped his father to build the country in his early years, and his merits and demerits are worth it." ”

Xiao Mingyue said to Xiao Zhong: "Cousin, now that you are the future prince of Daliang, don't be as kind to everyone as before, you must understand the principle of grace and power." ”

Xiao Zhong smiled: "As long as you and Chen Xian are by my side, I am not afraid of anything." ”

At that moment, when Xiao Mingyue returned to the room, she began to worry about Chen Xian's safety, the safety of her parents, and whether Yu Wendi could smoothly say that King Heqing would send troops, although there was a chance of victory, but it was not guaranteed.

Thinking of the intrigues and intrigues between monarchs and ministers in this court, I felt terrible and boring, and when Chen Xian came back, I stayed with him and lived a simple life from then on.

And Mrs. Xue was almost pulled off the horse this time, on the one hand, she felt that Xiao Wen was not clean enough to do things neatly and ruined her layout, and on the other hand, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Mingyue with admiration, thinking of a little girl's family, she was so smart and strategic.

Xiao Wen, who was locked up in Zhang Lintai and waiting for punishment, was unwilling, he couldn't imagine that his layout was ruined in Xiao Mingyue's hands, this little girl he had never cared about, in addition to being annoyed, he had to admire from the bottom of his heart, thinking that if Xiao Mingyue was willing to plan for himself in the future, would he still be worried that he would not be able to take the throne? So in the early morning of the next day, he used his status as a prince to bribe the guards and ask him to send a message to Xiao Mingyue, saying that he had something to confess.

Xiao Mingyue was chatting with Amber about meeting Dexi in the imperial dining room last night, and the two couldn't help laughing when they talked about Dexi's simplicity and kindness, honesty and honesty.

And Yunzhu came to pass the word, saying that Zhang Lintai's guards asked to see him, Xiao Mingyue let him in, and Amber asked, "Is something wrong again?" Could it be that the second prince escaped? ”

The guard stepped forward and said, "Back to the county lord, it is His Highness who wants to see the county lord, and there are some things I want to say to the county lord in person." ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled when she heard this: "Oh? Could it be that he wants me to clear his name? ”

Amber said, "Is the county lord really going?" ”

Xiao Mingyue was worried that Xiao Wen had any other conspiracies, so she decided to go and take a look.

Then he promised the guard, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

He said to Amber, "Don't worry, he's in captivity." ”

"Then I'll go with Miss." Amber said.

So, the two of them followed the guards to Zhang Lintai, a place near the city gate that specially detained the royal relatives and nobles who had violated the law.

Xiao Wen was held in the innermost room, which looked clean and clean, not like a prison cell at all.

Amber said as she walked: "Although the world is guilty of the same crime as the people, but the treatment in this cell is really different, look at this environment." ”

When they reached the door of the room, the guard greeted the other two guards, and one of the guards opened the door and said, "Lord of the county, please come in." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Mingyue walked in generously, Amber was stopped outside, and as soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Wen drinking tea comfortably, and when she saw Xiao Mingyue coming, she smiled and said, "County Lord, please take a seat." I called the county lord over without saying hello in advance, and I hope the county lord will forgive me. ”

Xiao Mingyue said to Xiao Wen disdainfully: "Your Highness is really interested, it's all this time, and I really admire it for drinking tea with such leisure." ”

When Xiao Wen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The county lord is making fun of me, I'm in this situation, instead of frowning, it's better to make myself comfortable." ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "That's right, a person who is about to die should indeed be happy in time." ”

Xiao Wen listened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked at the teacup in his hand and said: "The county lord's words are very sad, Xiao Jing's stupid guy still wanted to marry you, and I killed him to save you from worries." ”

Xiao Mingyue listened, and said even more disdainfully: "Although His Royal Highness does not learn and has no skills, he is innocent and kind in nature, but he is not forgiving in his mouth, and he is not as insidious and cunning as His Highness. ”

Xiao Wen said while drinking tea: "If this Biluo Spring is born and grows in the tea garden of Dongting Lake, it is a high-grade Biluo Spring, but if it grows in an ordinary tea garden, it can only enter the hands of market vendors." It is enough to show how important it is to have a good background, you and I are both from the royal family and nobles, the difference is that the eldest brother and the third brother are from a better background than me, no matter how hard I try, I can't get into the eyes of my father, and although the county lord is born well and so smart, but it's a pity that she is a daughter, and she can't make contributions, and even the future marriage may not be decided by yourself, don't you feel sad? ”

Xiao Mingyue said to Xiao Zhong, "What do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Wen got up, walked to Xiao Mingyue and sat down, and said to her: "I know that now your Xiao family is valued by your father, although the previous dynasty has perished, but you are still allowed to use the surname Xiao, this grace is amazing, but have you ever thought that although your father can fight well, I am afraid that it is not as good as before, people will get old, which of your brothers can take over your father's class?" Now although the eldest brother is already the prince, the glory of your family is at most a family of uncles, but if you support me, we join forces, and when I become the emperor, I promise not to hurt the eldest brother in the slightest, and you will be my only queen, I promise not to accept other concubines, I promise to let you be high and beautiful. ”

Xiao Mingyue heard this and sneered: "It's just a fool's dream. Your Highness can't even get out of this chapter, and you're still thinking about beautiful things? ”

Xiao Wen laughed when he heard this, got up and said: "I understand the personality of the eldest brother, as long as I cry with him, he will be soft-hearted, when I was a child, I went to the Taimiao Temple to worship, I bought off the thief and wanted to kill Xiao Jing, but the eldest brother would desperately protect him, I really can't imagine that from childhood to adulthood, he is the most favored by his father and the emperor, and the most popular, I am the most jealous of him." ”

Xiao Mingyue heard this and asked, "So before in the market, we were assassinated by the man in black, and you did it too?" ”

Xiao Wen listened and said frankly: "That's right, only when the eldest brother dies, my father will think of me, so I want to kill him." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but sigh: "You are simply inhumane!"

Xiao Wenman said nonchalantly: "Human nature? Does human performance help me get everything I want? Besides, the palace struggle is inherently cruel, and with the character of the eldest brother, even if he can be the emperor, it is difficult to make the ministers subdue, it is too virtuous!"

"That's much better than you, if you become an emperor like this, the people will only suffer." Xiao Mingyue said.

"So I need you to advise me and be my advisor." Xiao Wen said close to Xiao Mingyue's ear.

"Don't dream anymore, you will never have this day, what awaits you will only be a cold prison." With that, Xiao Mingyue got up and walked out.

Xiao Wen looked at Xiao Mingyue's back and said, "Then let's wait and see, I like you, sooner or later you will be my queen." ”

Xiao Mingyue came out of it angrily, saw Amber waiting at the door and said, "Let's go back." ”

Then he turned to the guard at the door and said, "Watch him, don't let him escape, and besides, he is asking to see me in the future, and I will not see him again." ”

With that, he turned and left with Amber.

On the way, Amber asked Xiao Mingyue: "The second prince didn't treat the young lady well, I was worried about the dead slaves, and those guards didn't let me in." ”

Xiao Mingyue said as she walked: "He wants me to help him do bad things together." ”

Amber listened and was surprised: "Huh? This second prince is also too terrifying, and his mind is so deep. ”

Xiao Mingyue said again: "It's a pity that he doesn't have the right mind, otherwise, he should be able to be a good minister and assist his cousin." ”

After that, the two returned to Chunning Palace, Concubine Hu was not there, and Xiao Mingyue was in charge of all matters in the palace.

In the palace of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu has obviously improved a little in the past few days under the careful conditioning of Imperial Physician Zhang, but because Xiao Jing's death hit him hard, he could only barely get up and say a few words, so he ordered the restoration of the one in Jingren Palace, although she was not allowed to leave the palace, but she was still the name of the queen, and the food and clothing were the same as before, which could be regarded as comforting her pain of losing her child.

And in Jingren Palace, Queen Youlan heard that Xiao Jing fell into the water and died, like a thunderbolt, she fainted first, and after waking up, she said madly: "Jing'er is not dead!" Not dead! He went to school and hasn't come back yet, so I'm going to pick him up from school. With that, he rushed out to find Xiao Jing.

Qingtong stopped Queen Youlan and said, "Niangniang, please don't go crazy anymore, Your Highness is really no more." ”

Queen Youlan retorted: "You are talking nonsense, my Jing'er is the most well-behaved, he must be lost, Qingtong, you go and get him back!" As he spoke, he pushed Qingtong out to find someone.

Qingtong saw that Queen Youlan was already delirious, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He went to beg the guards to let the queen see His Majesty for the last time, but the guards listened to Gonggong Feng's words and refused to open the door to Queen Youlan.

So, Queen Youlan lived in joy and sorrow every day, before going to bed, she remembered what happened when Xiao Jing was a child, and after waking up, she remembered that Xiao Jing was dead, and she constantly tortured her body and mind every day.
