Heavier late at night.

At the end of the day, Qi Changrong stood in the Lotus Pond Palace, where there was a lot of mourning.

Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs knelt outside the hall and wept, grieving for the lost little life.

Qi Changrong tightened his robe, then took the warm soup woman from Shi Xia's hand, and stood quietly outside without saying a word.

In the dormitory, Emperor Jin An is sending the crown prince to investigate the cause of the young prince's death.

Half an hour later, he affirmed the statement released by the Lotus Pond Palace.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the little prince's lips are cyanotic, and he is indeed depressed and dies."

Hearing this, Lian Ji couldn't help but feel sad and cried even more sadly.

Emperor Jin An frowned lightly, looking at the small corpse placed in the cradle not far away, and his feelings were very complicated.

Originally, he wanted to solve this evil obstacle himself, but now......

It's good.

"Today, all the palace people who serve the little prince will be killed."

In a word, it easily decided the fate of half of the palace people in the Lotus Pond Palace.

"In the matter of the little prince, it is really the fault of Lian Ji, and you will be punished for being grounded in the Lotus Pond Palace, and you will not be allowed to go out without a call."

"Your Majesty......" Lian Ji knelt on the ground, tearing at Emperor Jin'an's robe with tears in her eyes, wanting to say anything but couldn't say anything.

Emperor Jin An frowned and pulled his robe out of Lian Ji's hand.

After a pause, Emperor Jin An lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who had served him for nearly twenty years with a sad face at this time, and there was a rare pity in her eyes.

However, the mercy of the emperor never lasts.

Just in the blink of an eye, Emperor Jin Anhuang changed back to a majestic style, and his expressionless appearance was intimidating.

"After that, I will not come to the Lotus Pond Palace again, if you want to stay one step away from the Lotus Pond Palace for the rest of your life, you can live in peace, if you dare to disobey the emperor's order, die."

"It's good to do it yourself."

He is willing to give her a way to live, depending on the love between the two for twenty years.

This is his biggest concession.

As soon as these words fell, Emperor Jin An did not hesitate, turned around and walked away.

In the huge hall, Lian Ji sat on the ground and covered her face and wept, but she couldn't even say a word of begging for mercy.

The people who knelt on the ground outside the palace, the guards had already appeared with longboards, and the two little eunuchs pressed the people among them on the benches.

Every time I hit it, I could hear a scream.

After a while, even the air seemed to be filled with a breath of blood.

It wasn't until the majestic figure appeared in front of him that Qi Changrong, who was standing outside with his eyes closed, seemed to feel something, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Let's go."

Qi Changrong's voice should be slow.

It's late at night.

The father and daughter walked side by side, Qi Changrong was half a step behind, and he also didn't say a word.

The endless palace road winds and turns.

Emperor Jin An abandoned the car and chose to walk on foot.

Qi Changrong followed behind him, and there was an unspeakable silence between the two.

A group of attendants set up the car and quietly followed not far away, looking at the two people in front of them, but no one dared to disturb them.

Yuan Yi carried the lantern and bowed slightly to lead the way.

I don't know how long it took, and the two walked outside the emperor's bedroom.

Emperor Jin An stopped and didn't look at Qi Changrong: "The country of the Great Jin Dynasty is about to be the prince's, what does the prince think?" ”

"Thoughts?" Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled calmly, his voice was low, with a mellow atmosphere in the night: "Isn't this Great Jin Dynasty destined to be a son's minister a long time ago?" ”

"How dare you say it."

In the face of Qi Changrong's outspokenness, Emperor Jin Anhuang was not angry, and even had a feeling of yesterday.

Qi Changrong didn't want to say more, lowered his eyes and took two steps back, and arched his hand:

"The son sends off his father."

With that, she remained in the same position.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin An was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and stepped up the steps into the palace.

"Prince, rest early, too."

"Yes."

It wasn't until the person completely disappeared from view that Qi Changrong raised his eyes, turned around expressionlessly, and beckoned behind him.

Seeing this, Shi Xia, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly summoned the steppers and carefully helped Qi Changrong to sit down: "Your Highness, do you want to let people trot back to the East Palace and tell the small kitchen to prepare some ginger soup?" ”

After that, Shi Xia had already felt Qi Chang's jade hand like an ice lump, and couldn't help but be more worried, and said to himself: "You still have to prepare ginger soup." ”

After Qi Changrong sat down, Shi Xia summoned a small eunuch and commanded two words in his ear.

Immediately, the little eunuch took the first step back to the East Palace from the nearest road.

On the step, Qi Changrong gently stroked his forehead with one hand, covering the dim and unknown light flickering in his eyes.

She suddenly remembered what she had said in her ear at twelve this afternoon.

Twelve killed someone, but he still covered that person to death with his own hands.

Because he killed this person, he was so uneasy, and he even wanted to go to the Buddha hall to live for a long time to alleviate his sins.

At the very least, Twelve found himself guilty.

But I still took that step.

Thinking of the little emperor who died suddenly, Qi Changrong had a faint guess in his heart.

It's just that she still can't figure out what happened to the Lotus Pond Palace to evolve into such an unending scene?

Even forced the twelve to kill with their own hands, but it was their own brother who was killed.

I can't figure it out.

Shi Xia, who was walking beside him, saw that Che Qi Chang's expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "What is Your Highness thinking?" ”

"Thinking alone, there are still many things in the world that are beyond the reach of man."

"What is Your Highness referring to?"

"The human heart is the most understandable and the most unpredictable."

Hearing this, Shi Xia raised his hand to cover his mouth, burst out laughing, and quipped: "The slave thought that he had already cultivated to perfection in His Highness, but he didn't expect that there were still people in this world who His Highness couldn't guess. ”

"What's so surprising about that?"

Abandoning the doubts in his heart, Qi Changrong became calm again, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and squinted at Shi Xia and said, "If you don't know the cause, how can you guess the consequences?" And the reason why people's hearts are easy to understand is because they are too close to loneliness, and in the same way, the reason why people's hearts are unpredictable is because they are too far away from loneliness. ”

Some people have some things that she never puts in her eyes, how can she really look at the overall situation in everyone's heart?

Shi Xia said helplessly: "No matter what His Highness says, His Highness is reasonable." ”

"Then you think Lone is making trouble?"

"Of course not."

A cool breeze hit him, mixed with the sound of Shi Xia hurriedly shouting grievances.

"In the slave's heart, whether His Highness is reasonable or not, it is the most correct, and if it is right, it must be followed, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Qi Changrong smiled, half-squinted and praised: "After living for more than ten years, you are finally smart once." ”

……

The next day, in the morning morning.

Sure enough, the news of the untimely death of the little prince set off a big storm in China.

There were many eyes with implicit suspicion lingering on Qi Changrong's body.

After all, the little prince was about to turn one year old, and when he was already easy to feed, why did he suddenly die?

In the face of countless shocks and doubts, Qi Changrong was unmoved, his slender figure stood upright in the center of the Jinluan Palace, standing at the head of everyone, looking at the 'heartbroken' Emperor Jin An above with pale eyes, and silently watching him perform.

"I have carefully investigated, the reason why the little prince died was because the palace people who were waiting beside him were careless, and forgot to open the window to ventilate when burning charcoal, and suffocated the little prince alive."

"I'm furious, I washed the Lotus Pond Palace in blood last night."

Except for the nominal master of the Lotus Pond Palace, Ren Ji, who still retains a life, everyone else has become the eyes of the royal family.

After being thoroughly cleaned, the palace was free of ghosts.

Emperor Jin An's words were plain, but when the words 'bloody lotus pond palace' fell on the ears of the courtiers, they subconsciously shivered.

The wrath of the emperor is often covered with countless white bones.

Zhao Li lowered his head and took the lead in speaking: "The untimely death of the little prince is really an unfortunate accident, and I hope that Your Majesty will mourn, don't damage the dragon body." ”

At this time, Yang Yishu was not willing to lag behind, and Tiekou said bluntly: "The death of the little prince is indeed distressing, but the matter has come to this point, since the accident has happened, there is no need to grieve, the most important thing at the moment is that Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body and give blessings to the people in the future." ”

The two sonorous words inexplicably stabilized the situation, and the two most powerful courtiers in the court decided that the matter was an accident.

As soon as these words came out, and then looked at the attitude of the people in power in the current dynasty, everyone naturally echoed them.

In this way, before a storm could sweep around, it suddenly disappeared into invisibility.

Emperor Jin An was satisfied.

Naturally, he didn't want too many people to dwell on this matter.

After all, every time he mentions 'Little Prince', it seems to remind him again that his palace concubine almost made him a joke all over the world.

The early dynasty did not delay for long.

When the matter was resolved, Qi Changrong left the palace openly and swaggered into the general's mansion from the main gate.

He hadn't used his original appearance for a long time, and when Steward Jun saw him, there was naturally a little surprise on his face.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows and quipped: "Doesn't the old housekeeper recognize Lonely?" ”

"Of course not." The steward of the monarch bowed his hand, and after saluting, he was overjoyed and said: "The old slave just didn't expect that His Royal Highness would come to the door today." ”

The East Palace came back in March.

March was so busy that no one could be seen.

However, the efforts are rewarded, and the current crown prince is very much like Jiang Taishi, who was as powerful as the sun at the beginning, and has become a veritable second person under the throne.

If you really talk about it, the person in front of you has become a rare guest that everyone can't ask for.

The old butler smiled.

After all, after solving such a hidden danger as a thief, the whole Junfu is very happy.

Qi Changrong walked inside and asked, "The general is still in the Qiwu Courtyard?" ”

"Yes." The steward said: "The general doesn't like to be busy, and these days, he often stays alone in a secluded place, and no one is allowed to disturb him. ”

Stopping the pace of Steward Jun wanting to lead the way, Qi Changrong said calmly: "The butler doesn't have to send each other, Lone knows how to go." ”

Everyone in the royal palace knows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty.

The road is unobstructed until the Qiwu Courtyard.
