In fact, even if the emperor didn't summon Qin Zheng tonight, Qin Zheng would also enter the palace, after all, the eldest prince had sent him a message earlier.

However, the emperor's summons gave him a reasonable reason to come in.

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the eldest prince's expression flashed slightly, and he immediately nodded and said, "Lord Qin has worked hard. “

As he spoke, he glanced at the deep night outside again, and sighed imperceptibly, "It's tonight." Lord Qin can also celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. “

Hearing this, Qin Zheng didn't dare to salute, and at the end, he added: "Your Highness could have not been so anxious." “

When the eldest prince invited him to discuss before, Qin Zheng did not approve of it.

The emperor is already in the twilight of the West Mountain, and those princes no longer have the ability to fight against him.

As long as the eldest prince is willing to wait, it will not be more than half a year at most, and he can be sure of the position of the prince.

It's a pity that the eldest prince chose to take risks.

Tonight's event is actually a risky move, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games. But the eldest prince did it anyway.

Fortunately, this result is in their grasp.

As soon as he said this, the expression on the eldest prince's face became a little more bitter for a while.

Good for a while. Just then he lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Yes, but I can't wait." “

The sound was so low that it was blown away into the night by the wind.

Qin Zheng didn't hear what the eldest prince was saying clearly, and without waiting for him to think about it, he saw that the other party had regained his calm appearance: "The fourth prince has been personally ordered by his father, and Dali Temple does not need to ask, after the sixth day of the first month, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department." “

This is also the meaning of letting Qin Zheng clear up the relationship.

Qin Zheng naturally understood, and immediately responded: "Xiaguan understands." “

When he said this, he replied, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do. Then the lower official will retire first. Tonight, Chinese New Year's Eve, my family is still waiting for me. “

The eldest prince naturally knew that Qin Zheng didn't want to get involved with him, but he wasn't angry at his indifferent attitude.

When I heard what he said, I was a little envious.

He nodded, and there was a little more smile on his face: "It's okay, you can go back." “

Seeing that Qin Zheng was about to leave, the eldest prince paused, and added: "Chinese New Year's Eve is healthy." “

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded and saluted him: "Your Highness, Chinese New Year's Eve is healthy." “

After Qin Zheng left, the eldest prince withdrew his gaze.

He sighed silently, and saw the guards hurrying over: "Your Highness, everything is taken care of." “

Seeing this, the eldest prince's expression instantly regained his composure, and he responded: "Be sure to guard everywhere tonight, and don't spread half of the news." “

At his word, the guards went.

Suddenly, a firework exploded. The eldest prince was taken aback, and when he looked up, he unexpectedly saw the full of brilliance.

His expression was a little distant for a while, and he stood in place and watched for a while, and then raised his feet and walked towards the harem.

On this night, because of the affairs of the four princes, most of the palace was frightened, and the originally festive and peaceful New Year was overshadowed.

But Guan Ju Palace is obviously not among them.

Seeing the eldest prince coming, the chamberlains in the palace saluted one after another.

The eldest prince waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out, and he greeted the woman on the throne: "Mother." “

During the family banquet, Concubine Hui did not attend the banquet on the grounds that she was unwell, and now she is only wearing a regular dress and is sitting in the position reading a book.

Seeing the eldest prince entering the door and saluting, she put down the book in her hand and asked with a smile: "The emperor is here, please sit down." “

She actually knows what happened at night.

However, compared with the eldest prince, she seemed a little calmer.

Hearing her words, the eldest prince thanked him, but did not sit down, but asked softly, "Mother." Erchen wants to go to the side hall to see, can she sleep? “

Hearing this, the smile on Concubine Hui's face was closed, and she nodded lightly and said, "I drank the medicine half an hour ago, and now I am asleep." Both you want to go. Let's go check it out. “

The eldest prince nodded in response, and did not greet her much, and walked towards the side hall after saluting.

And Concubine Hui looked at his back and sighed silently, in the end she picked up the book again.

It's just that I can't look at it anymore.

Over the years. The people in the palace, who doesn't know that Concubine Hui is weak and sickly, although she has served the saint for a long time, but because of the problem of falling down as soon as the wind blows, she has no sense of existence in the palace now.

But few people know that it is not her who is weak, but ......

"Yuan Niang, I've come to see you."

In the inner room of the side hall, there is a thousand-worker stepping bed, the bed is soft and silky, and there is not even half a thread, for fear of scratching the woman on the bed.

The man on the bed had his eyebrows and eyes closed, his cheeks were pale, and there was no blood on his lips.

If it weren't for the chest that was still slightly heaving. It's hard to imagine that this is a living person.

Her body was covered with a thick quilt, but her fingers were still cold, as if they were extremely cold.

The eldest prince touched her hand, frowned and ordered, "Go and make the charcoal fire more vigorous." “

Hear the words. The little maid who was waiting on the side said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that it should not be added anymore, the girl's body can't stand the smell of too much charcoal." “

Her words also made the eldest prince's condensed eyebrows converge a little, and then waved his hand and said, "The palace knows, you can go down." “

The waiter replied, and the eldest prince sat on the edge of the bed, holding the woman's hand on the bed with great care, and staring at her eyebrows almost greedily. After a while, he said softly: "I'm too busy these days, I haven't found time to come to see you, is Yuan Niang angry with me?" “

He was afraid of waking up the woman on the bed, so even the voice of the voice was extra careful.

But that's right. The woman's eyes twitched, and then opened.

When I didn't open my eyes, I only felt that there was a lifeless beauty on the bed, but the moment I opened my eyes, it was like a puppet being placed in a soul, and the whole person was a little brighter.

The eldest prince was overjoyed at first, and then he was a little overwhelmed: "I woke you up?" Yuan Niang, are you uncomfortable? “

The woman's voice was vain, and her voice was ruined because she had been drinking medicine for many years. With a heavy hoarseness: "Your Highness...... There you are. “

When she said this, she tried to arouse a smile at the eldest prince.

That appearance made the eldest prince's heart soften, but his eyes were sour: "Well, I'm coming to see you." “

Yuan Niang bent her eyebrows. There was also a bit of satisfaction in his voice: "It's good to still see His Highness......"

Her voice was extremely small, and the eldest prince needed to work hard to distinguish what the other party was saying.

But these words made his heart ache.

He grabbed Yuan Niang's movements a little heavier, and said, "You wait for me a little longer, and it won't be long before you can see me every day." “

When the eldest prince said this, he seemed to pray: "Yuan Niang, can you wait for me a little longer?" I'm going to make a promise, don't let me break my trust in you, okay? “

Even though Yuan Niang tried hard to tell him that he was fine, he was not a fool, so he could see it clearly.

This girl, she's going to die.

When she rescued herself from the horse, she risked her life to save her.

After that, he became a cripple, but she lost both legs.

It took him a lot of effort to save her life, but the price he paid was that she could only linger on the sickbed for the rest of her life.

And now, she's run out of oil. Even lingering on the sickbed has become a luxury.

This girl who has been held by herself since she was a teenager, she can no longer accompany herself.

The eldest prince's eyes were sour, and there was a nasal voice in his voice.

Yuan Niang couldn't see him like this.

The person in front of her was her belief when she was young, and it was also the love of her heart.

Now I see him weeping for himself. She was distressed at the same time, but she also gave birth to a kind of satisfaction.

Actually, that's enough.

She wanted to tell the eldest prince that even if she died now, she would die willingly.

But looking at the man's panicked eyebrows in front of her, she didn't say it at all. Instead, he replied with a smile: "Okay." “

Her gentleness caused the eldest prince to look more and more panicked.

He had a feeling that he couldn't catch this girl anymore.

Even if he had worked so hard, even at the risk of taking risks, he had to plan ahead, but she still couldn't wait.
