As soon as Jiang Qianbai's carriage entered the imperial city, Shan Wu appeared in front of them with people, and Ye Xiuwen was a little surprised: "Do you know our whereabouts so clearly?" ”

Just in case, when they left Jiangnan City, they deliberately chose a more secret road, and also arranged two cover-up convoys to pretend to be them, thinking that no one knew their whereabouts.

Yama Wu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you in the East Palace, please come over immediately." ”

Ye Xiuwen was surprised: "So anxious? Don't you want us to go back to the Five Kings' Mansion first to put our things? ”

"Just let the guards bring those things you brought back and settle them, you and the fifth prince have to go to the East Palace with us now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for you there for a long time."

When Ye Xiuwen was about to say something, Jiang Qianbai in the carriage lifted the curtain: "Xiuwen, don't say it, come with them, go to the East Palace." ”

"Yes."

East Palace.

When Jiang Qianbai and Ye Xiuwen were brought in by Shan Wu, they could sense that today's East Palace was a little different from when they came before, and they felt a lot more serious, and all the subordinates lowered their heads and looked respectful.

Jiang Qianbai asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the East Palace?" Did Jiang Qiancheng take the time to clean up after he came back? ”

"It's the Emperor's men who have come in."

The smile on Jiang Qianbai's face suddenly retracted most of it: "Really? ”

"Really, I was drugged in the ginseng tea of His Royal Highness the Prince, but the ginseng tea was also sent by the emperor."

“……”

Jiang Qianbai took the fan in his hand and gently tapped his chin, a lot of things really happened during his absence from the imperial city, it seemed that the battle between them and the emperor was about to break out.

When I saw Jiang Qiancheng, it was also different from when I saw it before, as if he had returned to the way he was before he met Yue Qingming, and before he got close, he felt the chill emanating from his body.

Jiang Qianbai walked over with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" Irritated? ”

"It's just that I suddenly saw something clearly," Jiang Qiancheng raised his head: "Sit down." ”

Jiang Qianbai sat down in front of him and asked, "What do you see clearly?" ”

"I originally thought that I was good to the emperor, and the emperor would at least have some affection for me, even if it wasn't between father and son, but obviously, I was wrong about him, no matter how good I was to him, he wouldn't treat me as a son."

Jiang Qianbai frowned slightly, and the fan in his hand gently slapped his palm, he had also had this feeling, so since a long time ago, he didn't believe anything the emperor said.

"From beginning to end, we were just pawns for him to consolidate his power, and now that he doesn't need to, he will try to get rid of us by all means."

Jiang Qianbai smiled: "I thought you already knew this truth. ”

"I used to hesitate a little, thinking that he would be soft-hearted, but I didn't expect me to be wrong, he is not the kind of person who will be soft-hearted."

"He never was."

Jiang Qiancheng pursed his lips and suddenly fell silent, looking like he had really been hit.

Jiang Qianbai can understand his feelings, after all, he really doesn't spend too much time in the imperial city, he doesn't know too much about the emperor, no matter who it is, he will feel uncomfortable when he finds out that he is just his father's pawn.

Jiang Qianbai sighed, gently patted Jiang Qiancheng's shoulder with a fan, and said, "Now is not the time to be depressed, there are still many things waiting for us to do, are you ready?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng nodded: "I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for you to come back!" ”

Jiang Qianbai smiled: "Then what are you still hesitating about now, let's start and talk about your plan." ”

"Good!"

At this time, the Royal Palace.

The queen mother watered the flowers in the courtyard of her dormitory, and Pearl prepared her favorite pastries and fruits, which were neatly arranged on the table in the dormitory.

When the palace maid sent by the emperor came with a cup of ginseng tea, the queen mother was finishing watering the flowers on her left, and the eunuch next to her immediately handed another kettle in front of her.

The palace maid bent down and saluted: "The slave maid sees the queen's mother." ”

"What's the matter?"

"This is the ginseng tea that Your Majesty ordered you to prepare for you to regulate your body, and please accept it."

The queen mother glanced lightly, and then gave a look to a eunuch beside her, and the eunuch immediately walked over and took the ginseng tea in the palace maid's hand.

The palace maid said again: "Queen Mother, this is made by the people in the hospital personally instructed by His Majesty, and His Majesty explained, Niang Niang must drink it, don't waste it." ”

"Got it."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother glanced at the palace maid who was still standing in place, and was a little displeased: "What are you still doing standing here?" Does this palace still have to drink it in front of you? ”

"This ...... This is His Majesty's intention, let the slave maid watch the queen mother drink it with her own eyes. ”

"Don't you want to get out of here alive?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "The queen mother spares her life, this is what Your Majesty means, the slave maid is just acting on orders, and I ask the mother to forgive her sins!" ”

The queen mother frowned, her eyes glanced at the cup of ginseng tea, if the emperor didn't emphasize that she must drink it herself, maybe she would have drunk it after watering the flowers, but now, she didn't want to drink it at all.

She stretched out her hand and took the cup of ginseng tea, and poured the cup of ginseng tea into the flower pot in front of the palace maid: "You go back and tell Your Majesty that the ginseng tea has been drunk in the palace, if there is half a word wrong, you know what the end will be." ”

"Yes! The slave knows that the slave and the maid will not talk nonsense! ”

After the palace maid got up, she almost ran away, obviously, the cup of ginseng tea was not as simple as it seemed.

Pearl walked out from inside: "Niangniang, I got the news that the fifth prince has returned to the imperial city, and is now meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace." ”

The queen mother nodded: "Recently, you must pay attention to the movements of the emperor's side at any time, especially the things he sent people, you must be more careful to check!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, send someone to pass the word to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this palace has received a cup of ginseng tea from the emperor's palace here, I don't know if he also received the same thing over there."

"Got it, let's go."

East Palace.

According to the meaning of the queen mother, the eunuch sent to deliver the message 1510 relayed her words, and when Jiang Qiancheng heard it, he instantly frowned, and his expression became serious.

Jiang Qianbai said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor is planning to get rid of you and the queen mother at the same time, his abacus is really good!" ”

"He's not going to get his way."

"Have you figured out what to do with him?"

Jiang Qiancheng smiled, then turned his head to the eunuch who came to pass the word and said, "Go back and tell the queen that the ginseng tea tastes bad, I'm afraid it's bad, just pour it directly, and I won't drink it again in the future." ”

"Yes."
