Chapter 272
Kong Yan also looked at Rong Fu with a puzzled face, and he didn't understand why he said that, the return of Prince Jing Qi Jingqin was a disaster for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Jingyang - when Qi Jingqin didn't come back, Qi Jingyang was still difficult to protect himself, and now Qi Jingqin is back, returning triumphantly with meritorious deeds, and with the blessings of Liang Fengmian and Qin Yuandao, this East Palace will be Qi Jingqin's sooner or later.
In fact, Rongfu was just kind enough to comfort the prince, and seeing that the prince was so depressed was not a solution, he had to say: "Prince, you are destined to be a prince since birth, King Jing is just a concubine, where can you compare to the identity of your eldest son, he is fighting for you, so what is there to fear?" ”
Qi Jingyang rolled his eyes, and knew in his heart that Rongfu couldn't say any constructive advice, so he waved his hand instead, and said weakly: "If you go to take a leave of absence from your father, you will say that the palace is unwell and you can't go." ”
Qi Jingyang thought that out of sight and heart was pure, if he saw Qi Jingqin just to block himself, it would be better not to see him, he didn't have such a deep city like his uncle Lu Gaohong, even if he saw the enemy, he would only greet him with a smile, if he saw Qi Jingqin, he would definitely want to go up and eat him alive.
Rong Fu glanced at Kong Yan with an embarrassed face, His Royal Highness the Prince's evasion is so obvious, not to mention that it will cause the emperor's disgust and King Jing's jokes, and it will also make some courtiers feel that the prince is not strong enough, and he is not responsible, so that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is already in a weak position, if he does this now, it will be even more detrimental to his subsequent accession to the throne.
Now that Lu Gaohong is not here, Empress Mingxian has also passed away, the emperor is working on state affairs all day long, and there is no time to come to the East Palace to take care of the prince, the prince is in a slump, and no one in the East Palace is taking care of him. Rongfu and Kongyan are a little worried.
After Qi Jingyang finished saying these dejected words, he lay down on the couch as soon as he turned his head, looking like he would not get up no matter what.
Rong Fu and Kong Yan glanced at each other, and frowned bitterly: How can this be, when the emperor blames him later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be angry with them again, and today no matter what, he will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down to wash the dust for Prince Jing.
Qi Jingyang knew what they thought, but now that he was refusing to humiliate himself.
Just when Rongfu and Kongyan were at a loss as to how to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to agree to go to the palace gate, a voice suddenly came from outside the door - "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess asks to see you." ”
After the last memorial event, Qi Jingyang has gradually become less repulsive to Zhao Peiyu, and now that Lu Gaohong is dead, Qi Jingyang is now helpless in the court, only the Zhao family who was specially named the king of the king in Shuzhong, and Zhao Peiyu is a powerful hub between them, Qi Jingyang can't give up Zhao Peiyu in public or private.
But right now, Qi Jingyang is bored, and when he sees Zhao Peiyu coming, he naturally has no good face to look at on the surface.
Qi Jingyang raised his head irritably, sat up, looked outside the door and muttered, "Is she coming to block the palace again?" ”
Rongfu now doesn't want Qi Jingyang to have some dislike for Zhao Peiyu, after all, for now, the only one who can help Qi Jingyang is Zhao Peiyu, if Zhao Peiyu is dead to Qi Jingyang, then this East Palace is really going to change hands.
Seeing that Qi Jingyang didn't speak for a long time, Rong Fu cautiously stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess is asking to see her outside, why don't you announce her coming in?" ”
Rong Fu said cautiously, while raising his head slightly to look at Qi Jingyang's face, worried that in such a situation, Qi Jingyang would refuse to see Zhao Peiyu without thinking, which was really not good......
Qi Jingyang sighed, and probably understood in his heart what kind of situation he was in now, and it was impossible for him to allow himself to make more mistakes, so he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Announce her in." ”
Rong Fu nodded and smiled, then turned around and ordered Kong Yan: "Didn't you hear, invite the crown princess in!" ”
Kong Yan is also a person who can't figure out the situation, and when he saw that Rongfu's father-in-law said this, he hurriedly obeyed his body, trotted through the hall and ran out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. ……
Kong Yan ran outside the door, Zhao Peiyu was standing at the door with Han Yao respectfully waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to summon him, seeing that the princess was still as beautiful as the first time he saw His Royal Highness, on the other hand, His Royal Highness the Prince, regarded the princess as nothing, and often abandoned it as if she were walking, thinking of this, Kong Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When Zhao Peiyu saw Kong Yan coming out, he immediately lifted his spirits and stepped forward to ask, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me?" ”
Kong Yan first saluted the crown princess Zhao Peiyu, and then nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the crown prince is about to invite you in." ”
Zhao Peiyu smiled happily after hearing this, turned around and glanced at Han Yao, then straightened out his shirt that had some wrinkles, and then said to Kong Yan: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
Kong Yan also smiled awkwardly, this is a matter for him, and there is only one master in the world, the crown princess, who will thank his subordinates, right? Kong Yan thought: Now there are only two masters in the East Palace, the prince and the princess, one has a short temperament and often loses his temper, and the other has a gentle temperament, treating people well, which are basically two extremes, but they became husband and wife by chance, although the prince verbally dislikes the princess, but he has never said that he wants to divorce his wife......
Kong Yan blessed Zhao Peiyu with a blessing, and then turned sideways to let her in.
After Zhao Peiyu walked into the main hall, he saluted Qi Jingyang in the center: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Qi Jingyang only bowed his head and said "um", he could see that he was in a bad mood, Zhao Peiyu could more or less guess that Qi Jingyang was depressed because of Qi Jingqin's triumphant return to the court, but why wasn't she, she and Qi Jingyang are now grasshoppers on the same rope, Qi Jingyang's blessings and misfortunes are closely related to her.
Moreover, Rongfu's father-in-law has been frowning at her since she walked into the hall, and if she wants to remind Zhao Peiyu to pay attention to what she says, be careful not to upset the prince, Zhao Peiyu naturally understands.
Zhao Peiyu lowered her head and smiled, slowly stepped forward and said, "Why is the prince so distressed, it's just a Qi Jingqin......
She slowly sat down at Qi Jingyang's feet and looked up at him.
Qi Jingyang was attracted by her words, so he looked down at her and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Zhao Peiyu smiled and said: "The throne must be inherited by a prince of royal blood, but my father only has two princes, except for Qi Jingqin, you are His Royal Highness the Prince......
Zhao Peiyu's sentence "except" can be said to make people break out in a cold sweat, Qi Jingyang reacted for a long time, and then realized later: "You mean ......"
At this time, everyone was worried that the wall had ears, Qi Jingyang didn't say it, but made a "kill" gesture, and Zhao Peiyu also nodded.
Rong Fu, who heard it clearly on the side, was taken aback, and he didn't know that the crown princess actually had such a terrible idea.
"How?" Qi Jingyang hesitated for a long time, he had thought about killing Qi Jingqin for a moment, but now that he brought it up from others, he always felt a little terrible.
Since Lu Gaohong died last time, Zhao Peiyu has been trying every possible way to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, at all costs, and finally thought of killing Qi Jingqin, so that he could prevent future troubles...... So, she quietly sent someone to send a message to the family in Shuzhong, bringing back a strange poison that can only be found in Shuzhong and Miaojiang......
Zhao Peiyu motioned to Qi Jingyang to lower his head, and whispered his plan in his ear, and then Qi Jingyang showed a surprised expression, in Rong Fu's opinion, this may be the first time Qi Jingyang really recognized the crown princess, and even Rong Fu was stunned when he didn't hear this plan.
"So here's ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should quietly congratulate him on his triumphant return to the court, so as not to make his father feel that there is anything suspicious. Zhao Peiyu had a confident smile on her face, she was confident that this plan would definitely work, and she would definitely be able to help the crown prince win the throne.
Qi Jingyang frowned and thought about it carefully, and even felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan, you must know that Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong had also felt that their plan was foolproof before, but in the end they ended up like that, but now Qi Jingyang has no choice, only the road in front of him will work, even if he is broken, he will not hesitate to ......
*
In the end, Qi Jingyang reluctantly came to the gate of the palace with Zhao Peiyu, and sat on the guard of honor exclusive to them in the back, ready to welcome the triumph of the army.
Qi Jingyang looked at his father standing in front of him, he seemed to be very happy today, his hands were crossed and rubbed together, looking forward to Qi Jingqin appearing soon, Qi Jingyang had also seen his father so happy in the past.
When I was young, as long as I completed the homework assigned by the Taishi Taifu, my father would be very happy, and when I was older, every time I did something for my father, or took the initiative to give some advice, my father would also be very happy, but since the death of my mother, I have never seen my father smile at him, as if the older he gets, it is particularly difficult to make his father happy, and then look at Qi Jingqin today, he needs to pay the price of his life to win the favor of his father......
I don't know how long I waited, as a burst of gongs and drums and cannons got closer and closer, the palace gate was opened, and the royal honor guard drove out from the palace gate first, and after crossing the Baiyu Bridge to the entrance of Jingjie, the accompanying civil and military officials came out from the two side gates.
