Chapter 553: The Villain (2)

Hearing the words, the six princes' noses became even more sour, and their eyes were faintly red.

"There are many credible people around Your Highness."

Cheng Jinrong seemed to be able to see through all the uneasiness in his heart, and every sentence hit his heart: "The emperor and Niangniang are very good to His Royal Highness." And me and He Qi. No matter what time it is, we stand behind His Highness. ”

Thirteen-year-old boy, isn't it too embarrassing to cry in front of his cousin.

The sixth prince rubbed his reddened eyes with the back of his hand and nodded vigorously: "I understand what Cousin Rong said." ”

"I felt a little aggrieved and a little sad before. I have always been very generous to the attendants around me, and almost never harshly punished. The annual reward is also generous. I always thought to myself that if I was so good to them, they would be loyal to me and would never betray me. ”

"What happened today was like a slap in the face that woke me up."

"It's that I'm too self-righteous. I was made a prince and hated by all the royal brothers. With my father protecting me, it is not surprising that they dare not make small moves to me in private, regardless of what they do to me. ”

"In the future, there will be no less such things. I can't choke on food, and I can't be suspicious of everyone around me. In this way, it is in the hands of the villain. ”

Cheng Jinrong showed a smile in his eyes, and his voice became more and more gentle: "It's good that Your Highness can figure these out." ”

It was not in vain that she heard the news and came to Yuqing Palace.

The sixth prince calmed down and said in a low voice: "You have to be on duty at night, come out like this, if your father suddenly summons you and doesn't see you, it won't be good." Let's hurry back to the Baohe Palace! ”

Cheng Jinrong smiled and hummed.

The sixth prince added: "I'll let Commander He give you a ride." ”

Cheng Jinrong smiled and nodded.

……

The night breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and plants, blowing in your face.

Cheng Jinrong and He Qi walked side by side, whispering in a low voice from time to time.

"Whose handiwork is this incident like today?"

"It's hard to say yet. However, there are those people on the left and right. He Qi's eyes flashed, and his voice lowered a little: "I have a hunch, this matter is just the beginning." In the future, there will be no shortage of similar things. ”

Cheng Jinrong sighed silently: "This is also something that can't be helped." If you want to be a master, you have to bear more pressure and burdens than ordinary people. ”

Being kind-hearted and soft-hearted is the biggest advantage of the Six Princes, and it will also be the weakness of the Six Princes.

The young six princes have been living under the big tree of Emperor Xuanhe. One day, he will really grow up, grow into a towering giant tree himself, face the wind and rain, and protect the people he cares about.

She felt sorry for her brother, but she also knew that this was a journey he had to go through, and it was also a grind that he couldn't get rid of.

He Qi reached out to hold Cheng Jinrong's hand, and the warm palm gave her wordless comfort.

Cheng Jinrong stopped, turned around, and stood opposite He Qi, looking at each other and clasping his hands.

He Qi looked at Cheng Jinrong steadily, smiled suddenly, and whispered in Cheng Jinrong's ear: "If you look at me like this again, I will be in the palace Meng Lang for a while." ”

Cheng Jinrong was slightly hot behind his ears and glared at him.

He Qi raised the corners of his mouth silently, quickly took Cheng Jinrong's hand, and kissed her palm. Then drop your hand as if nothing had happened, and move on.

The sweetness in Cheng Jinrong's heart lingered for a long time.

He Qi sent Cheng Jinrong all the way into the room where the imperial physician was on duty in the Baohe Palace, and then turned around.

Du Tidian has already fallen asleep, and Cheng Jinrong is on duty alone tonight. The two palace people were serving tea and snacks on the side, and Cheng Jinrong liked to read medical books in such a quiet night.

A cup of hot tea, a medical book, and time slips silently in silence.

After the hour, she can go to sleep in the little collapse for a few hours. Cheng Jinrong put down the medical book, a little sleepy, and yawned lightly.

At this moment, the palace maid beside Queen Pei suddenly came: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, the slave maid came on the order of the queen's mother." ”

It's so late, why hasn't Queen Pei fallen asleep yet? Could it be that something happened again?

Cheng Jinrong frowned invisibly, then returned to normal, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

The palace maid reported in a low voice: "There is news from the prison that among the more than a dozen chamberlains imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, one of the father-in-law Lu committed suicide by taking poison. ”

"This Father-in-law Lu is in charge of the clothes of His Royal Highness the Sixth on weekdays. His Royal Highness's crown prince dress is also in charge of him. This time the dress was damaged, and he was the most suspicious. ”

"Niang Niang ordered that these chamberlains be imprisoned separately. Grandpa Lu was locked up alone in a prison, and in the past few hours, only two people have ever approached Grandpa Lu's cell. One is for food delivery and the other is for unlocking. ”

"Grandpa Lu's legs and feet were tied, and his whole body was also tied with ropes, and he moved his fingers at most. Who would have thought that he had already hidden poison in his teeth. Half an hour ago, Father-in-law Lu bit through the poison and died of poisoning. ”

Obviously, Grandpa Lu is a pawn that dies if he uses it.

As soon as Father-in-law Lu died, the clue was broken.

Cheng Jinrong's heart sank, and he nodded slightly: "If you go back to the queen's mother, just say that I already know." The night is dark, and tomorrow is the canonization ceremony of the six highnesses. Please also ask the mother to rest early. ”

……

This night, Queen Pei was full of depression and anger, and she never fell asleep.

After the sixth prince heard the news of Father-in-law Lu's death, his mood fluctuated and he didn't sleep well.

The oldest servant in Yuqing Palace is Gonggong Lu. When he was seven years old, Gonggong Lu was selected into Yuqing Palace.

Father-in-law Lu is not a clever person, silent and rarely spoken, and he is loyal and reliable.

Three years later, Father-in-law Lu was promoted to take charge of clothes. The servants who can serve the master in close proximity are all people who have won the trust of the master. In Yuqing Palace, in addition to Gonggong Ding, who serves food and daily life, the most trusted by the six princes is the stable and reliable Gonggong Lu.

Who would have thought that Gonggong Lu was actually a nail planted by someone else in Yuqing Palace.

This nail has not been touched for six years. Once he moved, he cut his prince's dress to pieces. Immediately, he bit the poison in the prison and committed suicide.

The six princes didn't know whether to be sad for what they believed in, or to be sad for the death of Gonggong Lu.

No matter what the mood of the six princes was, the next day's ceremony for the establishment of the prince went on as usual.

Xiaoxi's father-in-law, who temporarily took on the heavy responsibility, is worthy of being carefully trained by Zhao's father-in-law. Although he first came to the side of the six princes, he served food and clothing very carefully.

"The slave will be His Highness's person in the future." Xiaoxi's father-in-law did not forget to pat his ass to show his loyalty: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the slave will do his best to serve His Highness, and he will never have two hearts when he is loyal to His Highness." ”

Xiaoxi's father-in-law saw that the six princes were in a low mood, and deliberately pretended to be ugly to make the master happy.

The sixth prince received this heart, and nodded with a smile at Xiaoxi's father-in-law: "Okay!" You are faithful, and I, the master, will never treat you lightly. ”
