Thinking of this, the Queen Mother really felt nervous in her heart, she looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and said softly: "Jing'er, you can't think about this matter again?" If you are willing to repent now, the queen mother will do her best to help you marry the second lady of the Gu family, no matter what the emperor wants to use her for! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he tried his best to hide the ecstasy in his heart, and continued to reply to the Queen Mother in an expressionless tone: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother, Erchen said that she deserves to be loved by better people." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was angry: "Okay! Since you are so determined, then the queen mother will be a matchmaker for the second lady of the Gu family, and she will marry her immediately! ”

"The queen mother is casual, it's just that she is at least the woman her son once loved, and I hope that the queen mother can find her someone who can match her, and it will not disgrace her talent and kindness." Xuanyuan Jingxi's face is still unwavering.

What are you kidding, how could the emperor casually marry Gu Ruoxi to someone?

It is precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Jingxi is so tough in front of the Queen Mother.

"Do you really, think so?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but start to doubt again.

Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately nodded without hesitation.

The Queen Mother listened, and looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi carefully, but she couldn't see any expression, and none of the anxiety, heartache, loss, and various emotions she expected appeared.

He probably shouldn't really love the girl from the Gu family, right?

And Xuanyuan Jingxi said that no matter which daughter of Ye Pai, the daughter of the capital, came to be Princess Jing, he would not object.

Things are developing in the direction that the Queen Mother dreamed of at the beginning, but at this moment, looking at her son's eyes as if he had lost his life, she couldn't be happy at all.

"Mother, is there anything else? If not, Erchen retired? Xuanyuan Jingxi said slowly.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you anxious about?" It's still early, and you accompany your mother to eat before leaving. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Xuanyuan Jingxi knelt back steadily.

The Queen Mother found that he had been kneeling since he entered the palace, and hurriedly said, "Okay, you get up and sit!" ”

"Thank you, Mother." Only then did Xuanyuan Jingxi stand up and sit down on the chair under the Queen Mother's head.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but glance at him, I don't know why, she always felt that after this conversation, the relationship between their mother and son seemed to be a lot stranger.

But what was wrong, she couldn't tell.

In such a situation, of course, the Queen Mother is not in a good mood.

Jingyue came to the door of the hall with Ziyi, and when she heard the silence inside, she turned her head to look at Ziyi, waved her hand and ordered her to retreat.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother knew Xuanyuan Jingxi's current state

After that, I don't want to see purple clothes anymore.

An hour later, noon arrived, and Aunt Jingyue went in to report: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Jing, lunch has been set up in the side hall, please come over for dinner!" ”

The Queen Mother immediately stood up and said to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Jing'er, let's go." ”

"Yes." Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately stood up and stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and walked towards the side hall.

During the meal, neither of them spoke.

After the meal, Xuanyuan Jingxi offered his farewell again, and this time the Queen Mother did not stop him.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jingxi leave, the expression on the Queen Mother's face was very complicated.

Jingyue walked over and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, you announced today that the daughter of Lord Lin's mansion of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the daughter of Master Ren's mansion, entered the palace together, presumably they have arrived at this time, do you see it or not?" ”

The Queen Mother had already forgotten about this, and as soon as Jing Yue reminded her, she remembered it at this time, and frowned at the moment: "You tell them to go back!" Where is the mourning family still in the mood to meet them at this time? ”

"Yes, sissy." Jing Yue answered, and immediately turned around and retreated.

The Queen Mother sat on the chaise longue with a very complicated expression, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

……

Gu Ruoxi's speed of work is not slow at all.

Since she promised to help Ren Jiaying and not let her marry Xuanyuan Shu, the guy with a beastly heart, she would never break her word.

After two days of hard thinking, she finally came up with a brilliant idea.

Isn't this Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu unwilling to let people live to occupy the position of Prince and Princess Lian? Then let his position be vacant forever!

Gu Ruoxi has always believed that Princess Lian's terminal illness is not as simple as it seems, through the conversation with Ren Jiaying that day, she knew that the Ren family actually loved Ren Jiaying very much, and the fundamental reason why she did not refuse this marriage was that no one in the Ren family dared to refuse the emperor's proposal.

Just kidding, the emperor's marriage, who dares to refuse?

But this is in a peaceful state on the surface, although Xuanyuan Shu has a wife, but he is about to die, if Miss Ren really marries, it is also the princess, and the Ren family is in this position, and reluctantly agrees to this marriage.

But if the Ren family knew that the previous princess was terminally ill because of Xuanyuan Shu's assassination, would they still dare to marry their daughter? I'm afraid that even if I fight to the death, I won't agree, right?

The Ren family has this backbone, otherwise they would not have raised a girl with a free and easy temperament like Ren Jiaying.

Gu Ruoxi is very convinced of this. Once she had figured it out, she immediately ordered Amber to act.

The key to this matter is still in Xuanyuan Jingxi.

As soon as Gu Ruoxi's letter was handed over by Amber, Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately acted secretly, and only one day, he dispatched Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu out of Beijing without a trace

City.

A few days later, an evil wind blew from somewhere in the capital, and it was rumored that Prince Lian was drugged and killed by her husband! The rumors had noses and eyes, and even the events at that time were clearly stated, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and soon, this rumor spread to the Ren Taishi's mansion.

After Ren Jiaying heard about it, she immediately cried in the house, and Mrs. Ren and Master Ren all came to comfort her, but they couldn't calm her down.

"Ying'er, this rumor must be nonsense! You don't believe this! The eldest man of the Ren family persuaded bitterly.

"Yes, yes! We can't listen to the rumors! Mrs. Ren was very sad when she saw her daughter crying, and she felt inexplicably sad in her heart, but in order to support her husband, she had to follow her husband's words to persuade her daughter.

When Ren Jiaying heard this, she cried even more sadly: "It's groundless!" Flies don't bite seamless eggs! If Prince Lian is really innocent, how can these rumors spread? ”

"Ying'er is right! You can't marry Prince Lian, that guy with a human face and a beast's heart! At this moment, Taishi Ren, who was over sixty years old, strode in from outside!

"Daddy! You're here! Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Ren hurriedly came over to invite Ye.

Ren Jiaying also walked over with a pair of swollen eyes: "Grandfather! ”

"Ying'er is good!" Master Ren stepped forward, stretched out his thin hand and patted Ren Jiaying's shoulder, and persuaded kindly: "Don't cry, grandfather will go to the palace and ask the emperor to find out about this matter!" ”

When Master Ren heard this, he was immediately stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what are you trying to do?" ”

Taishi Ren glanced back at him, and said solemnly: "If this Prince Lian is innocent, then this marriage can continue, if Prince Lian is really killed by him, then I must cancel this marriage!" ”

"Daddy! No! "Master Ren was in a hurry.

When Taishi Ren heard this, he sneered.

"Dad, do you want your sister to marry and then be ruined to death by that brute?" At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded outside the house, and then the door of the room opened again, and a young man carried by several servants appeared in front of everyone.

"Shanxuan! What are you doing here? As soon as Master Ren saw him, his face immediately sank: "You don't have a good rest in the room, what kind of fun!" ”

However, Ren Jiaying, whose face was full of tears, rushed over: "Brother! ”

Ren Shanxuan's face is very delicate, his facial features are somewhat similar to Ren Jiaying, but his face is pale and terrible, when he heard this, he hurriedly showed a light smile: "Ying'er, don't be afraid, with grandpa here, you won't marry Prince Lian's brute!" When Ren Jiaying heard this, although there were still tears on her face, she burst into a smile: "I know!" You won't let me marry that bad guy from Prince Lian! ”

When the Ren couple heard this, their faces were a little unbearable, just now the two of them persuaded their daughter to marry Prince Lian like this!

When Old Lady Ren saw this scene, her face couldn't help but soften: "Ying'er." Xuan'er, you two don't have to worry too much, what is going on, grandfather will go to the palace and ask the emperor for an explanation! ”

"Grandpa! I'll go with you! Ren Jiaying wiped away her tears and said loudly.

This move not only provoked the faces of the Ren couple to change, but even the old lady Ren frowned slightly. However, he loved his only granddaughter very much, and Ren Taishi was reluctant to blame her at all, so he shook his head and said, "Ying'er, this is not appropriate!" You're a girl's family, it's not good to enter the palace like this, and. If my grandfather goes, it's likely that he will get out of the marriage, how can you go? ”

When Ren Jiaying heard this, she was silent.

Master Ren interjected at this time: "Dad, not only Ying'er can't go, but even you can't go!" ”

As soon as these words came out, he immediately won the eyes of the brothers and sisters Ren Taishi and Ren Jiaying.

Master Ren touched his nose, smiled, and said, "Regarding those rumors, there is naturally the royal iron and blood to eliminate them, what are we going to do with the Ren family?" Wouldn't this make people think that it was the rumor released by our family? ”

"But this matter has nothing to do with our Ren family!" Ren Shanxuan said angrily: "If we didn't want to get married, then we wouldn't have responded in the first place, and since we did, we wouldn't have engaged in any conspiracy behind our backs to sabotage this family business!" If the emperor really thinks like this, then he really looks down on our Ren family! ”

"Well said!" Ren Shanxuan's voice landed. Old Lady Ren immediately exclaimed. He turned his head and glared at his son and daughter-in-law, and said with an iron face: "Old man, I have been iron all my life, but I didn't expect to give birth to a son who is not angry, and when it comes, there will be Jiaying, Shanxuan, these two good grandchildren have inherited the spirit of my Ren family, good!" Good! Good! ”

He said three good words in a row, and the old man who said it changed his face slightly, he couldn't get his father's attention, but he didn't expect that in the end, even a pair of children would compare her!

"That's it! This matter is settled, Ying'er, you have the courage to propose to accompany your grandfather into the palace, and your grandfather is very happy. Old Lady Ren turned her head and looked at Ren Jiaying with a kind face. Said: "But after all, you are a woman, and it is not convenient to enter the palace, so you just wait at home, and your grandfather will go back when he goes." ”

"Daddy! This time into the palace. There won't be any danger, right? At this moment, Mrs. Ren, who had not made much noise on the side, opened her mouth and asked. Obviously, she was much smarter than her husband and spoke less hatefully.

Sure enough, when Taishi Ren heard these words of concern, he immediately waved his hand at Mrs. Ren and said, "You don't have to worry too much, the emperor still sells me a little face, the royal family must give us an explanation for this matter!" ”

"Grandfather! After all, the emperor is the emperor, and it is right to seek justice, but. You must also pay attention to proportion, but you must not let the emperor not come to the stage. "Ren Jiaying. Obviously, she knew what was wrong with her grandfather, and she persuaded him well.

When Old Master Ren heard this, she immediately waved her hand impatiently and said, "Got it!" Stand down! Let Ying'er have a good rest! ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone left one after another, and Ren Taishi gave another instruction to Ren Jiaying and Ren Shanxuan, and then went out.

The porter had already set up the carriage, and the old lady Ren got into the carriage directly when he went out, and then rushed to the palace.

I don't know what he told the emperor, in short, after Taishi Ren came out of the palace, the emperor immediately sent someone to thoroughly investigate the serious illness of Prince Lian. Prince Lian's mansion was also controlled by the imperial forest army sent by the emperor, and all personnel were strictly forbidden to enter and exit.

This incident immediately caused an uproar in the capital.

Coincidentally, two days ago, Prince Lian went out of Beijing for something, and he was not in Prince Lian's mansion at all.

……

Prince Lian's Mansion.

Changchun Temple.

The Imperial Forest Army was guarding the courtyard outside, and not even a fly could fly in, but at this time, two old men in cyan robes inside the main gate slowly walked into the courtyard that had been closely guarded for more than an hour, led by the guards.

To be precise, since Ren Taishi left the emperor's imperial study, it has been surrounded by people, no one is allowed to go out, no one is allowed to give it privately, and no one can pass the news out, and the emperor caught everyone off guard. Even Prince Lian's mother, Concubine Shufei Niangniang, learned of this and asked to see her, but the emperor did not see her.

The two people who walked in at this time were Doctor Xu and Doctor Liang from Tai Hospital. The emperor ordered them to come here to thoroughly investigate the cause of Prince Lian's illness, and whether it was as rumored outside.

The courtyard was quiet, and everyone was still doing their job, but everyone's face was dyed with a bit of panic. As the two imperial doctors walked into the upper room where Prince Lian lived, many people's faces were not very calm.

I'm afraid something big is going to happen in this house!

In the room, the two imperial doctors first asked Prince Lian for a leaf lying on the bed, and then they performed their duties, one stepped forward to check the pulse, and the other turned out the prescription left by the imperial doctors in the old years when they took the pulse of Prince Lian.

In the house, except for a few maids and daughters-in-law close to Prince and Princess Lian, the rest of the people were guarding outside the courtyard. The door was ajar, and a thick medicinal fragrance wafted out from a clay pot under the eaves, filling every corner of the courtyard.

Imperial Physician Xu was checking his pulse, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of medicine, he sniffed, turned to the maids on the side and asked, "Is there someone decocting medicine outside?" ”

"Yes! The medicine that our princess drinks every day is boiled by her own people in this courtyard. "Stand

A round-faced maid to the left of Imperial Physician Xu immediately replied.

Imperial Physician Xu turned his head to look at her, gently put down the princess's wrist, and said, "Bring the medicine!" Let me see! ”

However, the girl stood there but did not move, her face was a little puzzled: "Imperial Doctor, the medicine was just put on the stove to be fried, and it has not been fried yet, why don't you wait until it is fried?" ”

"If you say it, you will bring it! How do you talk so much nonsense! When Imperial Doctor Liang, who was checking the prescription on the side, heard this, he immediately frowned tightly: "What are we here to check today, I guess you are all clear in your own hearts, right?" ”

As he said this, all the maids in the house lowered their heads.

At this moment, an elderly woman standing at the back suddenly said loudly: "Doctor, the slave is going to serve medicine!" So saying, he walked past the maids and walked out.

Imperial Physician Liang was silent. The purpose of their coming here is to investigate their condition, not to discipline their subordinates for others, so naturally they don't have to meddle in their affairs.

It wasn't long before the woman walked in from outside with two brocade handkerchiefs and a casserole.

The few maids in the house all stepped aside.

According to this, there should be no accidents, but it is not a coincidence, just after the woman walked to the middle of the house, somehow, her feet fell, and the whole person and the casserole fell to the ground.

"Bang!" With a bang, the casserole shattered. The water and herbs inside were all scattered in all directions, and the surrounding slaves all exclaimed in fright, and they all scattered one by one.

"Oops......" The woman seemed to have fallen in pain, lying on the ground with a wrinkled face, and couldn't get up for a long time.

When Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Liang saw this scene, their eyes were surprised, and they tacitly exchanged glances, and immediately raised their vigilance.

The courtyard of this princess and princess is really not peaceful!
