Regarding the matter of the assassin at the palace banquet, the emperor ordered people to investigate, and once the results were found, no matter who was behind it, they would not be easily let go.

Lu Yuanbai was punished by the emperor again for pushing Chu Jingshu, but he didn't take it to heart at all, and the Protector didn't dare to confront him openly when he saw him.

"She is not a subordinate of her brother, and she still wants to attack her younger brother's people, then her subordinate brother will never be soft on her, if time is rewound again, her subordinate brother will still do that. ”

He said it rightly, and the emperor was not lightly angered by him, and glared at him with gloomy eyes in his eyes: "You, you are still fighting with me, it's not your fault for this, is it wrong for me?"

Lu Yuanbai's face sank a little, and he knelt down and saluted: "Naturally, it is the fault of the younger brother, no matter how the imperial brother punishes, the younger brother will not complain." ”

The emperor glanced at the Protector next to him, his two brows tightened more and more, and he raised his hand and waved: "You go down, I haven't been dangling in front of me lately." ”

"And I am ready to take her as a concubine, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, so I will give her the title Jingzi, she is not your person, but she is my person. ”

Lu Yuanbai paused at his feet, and after a long time, he opened his lips: "Brother Chen knows." ”

Half a month later, Chu Jingshu entered the palace as Concubine Jing, and the position of queen in the palace was vacant, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Yun were in charge of the six palaces, and the two looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were not easy to talk to.

The emperor has been to her palace for a few days, and some favor is better than nothing, plus she sacrificed herself to save the emperor at the palace banquet, so the two concubines did not deliberately embarrass them, and they still had some intention of wooing.

The Imperial Study.

Chu Jingshu took the maid forward, and when she came, she deliberately dressed up, and her beautiful appearance under the candlelight was bright and moving, and she pointed to the basket in the maid's hand.

"The palace stewed white fungus soup for the emperor, please let my father-in-law report it. ”

The eunuch had a flattering smile on his face and nodded: "Niang Niang is waiting here, and the slave will go." ”

Not long after the eunuch walked in, he came out again, and made a gesture to invite her in: "Niangniang, please come in." ”

She stepped forward with a soup, saw that the emperor was closing his eyes to recuperate, and cautiously shouted: "Your Majesty, the concubine has brought you soup." ”

The emperor didn't even look at it, didn't even open his eyes, and responded casually: "Well, put it down." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, Chu Jingshu gently pinched his shoulder, and the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and the cold light was cold in his eyes.

"When the concubine sees that the emperor is worried, she must have something to worry about, if she tells the concubine to listen, although the concubine can't help anything, she is willing to listen sincerely. ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes fell on her face, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, don't you understand this truth?"

Chu Jingshu was not flustered, and smiled lightly: "State affairs are also family affairs, and concubines will not influence the emperor's decision, the emperor is wise and powerful, which is desirable." ”

"The concubine is willing to accompany the emperor, if the emperor doesn't want to say, then the concubine won't ask more. She lifted herself up and saluted, making a gesture to retreat.

The emperor called out to her at this time, and his dark eyes flickered: "It is the assassin at the palace banquet that bothers me, and it is not that he can't let you know. ”

Chu Jingshu turned back and didn't come out again that night in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Chi Yingchu also knew about her entering the palace as a concubine, but she thought that she shouldn't be able to do it on her own, so she didn't take it to heart.

Lu Yuanbai also tested her for several days because of this: "In terms of appearance and figure, you are ten times better than her, you can be a concubine if you say that she can be a concubine, why can't you?"

"Thank you for the praise, if you want to talk about the skin, the face of the prince is first-class outstanding, I have heard before, how many women in Beijing bend their waists for the prince. ”

Chi Yingchu retorted with a smile, the corners of Lu Yuanbai's mouth were hooked together, and the smile was evil and wanton: "Does that also include you?"

"Nature doesn't include me!"

He raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you a woman?"

"...... "Who says it's a woman, you must like him, is he big or big, why doesn't he go to heaven?"

Chi Yingchu pushed him out, and did not forget to perfunctory: "No matter how the prince wants to be tempted, I can tell you the result directly, the assassins at the palace banquet have nothing to do with me, and I don't suspect the prince." ”

"So what?" he held on to the door with one hand, staring at her with amusement.

"So when will the prince leave?" After all, he is in such a big danger, she has to be vigilant and awake all the time when she sleeps.

Then it's too tiring, it's better not to sleep.

"You just wait and see, after Chu Jingshu enters the palace as a concubine, she will become even more desperate and want your life, and if you leave this king, you will definitely not be able to live. ”

He said it as a matter of course, and it was justified, and the tone was almost as if she couldn't live without him.

Chi Yingchu was just about to taunt him, thinking of his words that day, he stepped forward in three or two steps and asked: "I remember that the prince said that day, what does it mean that she wants my life?"

"You want to know," Lu Yuanbai leaned closer to her face and blew lightly in her ear, "This king won't tell you." ”

He swept his eyes over, as if he was deliberately teasing, and the goosebumps on Chi Yingchu's body rose, and he resisted the urge not to hammer him.

"Then I'll exchange things with you. She thought for a moment, and then spoke, "The incriminating evidence in Zhong Jingsong's hand, the prince definitely wants!"

Lu Yuanbai's face did not change, and he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "I used this trick last time, why don't you change it?"

"I'm serious this time!"

"Then you let him do it and see who dies first. His voice cooled a little.

Chi Yingchu didn't dare to gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble, thinking that it was hopeless to ask, she turned around to leave and heard: "The person who wants to kill you in the Protectorate Mansion is her." ”

"How do you know, Lord Wang?" she couldn't help but touch the person in front of her, was he real?

Why is there something wrong with this dog man, could it be the knife he handed himself again?

Lu Yuanbai slapped her hand away expressionlessly, and snorted softly in his throat: "Look at yourself, if you don't believe it, you have to ask this king, this king shouldn't be kind enough to tell you." ”

"I didn't question the meaning of the prince!"

Lu Yuanbai ignored her words and left directly.

Zhong Jingsong was a lot more wary of the people around him because of her words, and everyone looked like the person who was installed by Lu Yuanbai, but there was no evidence at hand.

He had to do everything himself, and it was inevitable that there were some places that he couldn't take into account, and there were several burglaries in the city, and the murderer was extremely arrogant.

Chi Yingchu saw the eunuch coming to the house, and recognized it as someone from the emperor's side, and thought that he was looking for Lu Yuanbai, but when he heard it, he found out that he was looking for himself.

Concubine Jing felt bored in the palace and wanted to invite the third lady into the palace to talk and relieve her boredom. ”

"Don't go. She decisively refused, and was about to leave, "Besides, I don't have anything to say to her, she wants to find someone, she should find the princess of the protector." ”

The eunuch's face froze, and he stopped her again, and his tone was already a little warned: "This is also what the emperor meant." ”

Refusing the emperor is disobeying the order, her delicate little face wrinkled and said, "Then let me tell the prince first." ”
