Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and said, "Just because what I have is involved in the court dispute, you want to poison my beloved woman?" ”

The imperial concubine was stunned for a long time before she said coldly to him: "What nonsense are you talking about?" How could I harm your beloved? Qingdi's girl, it's too late for me to like it. ”

"Really? My aunt had stirred up trouble between Qingdi and the He family before, and my aunt admitted it to me, could it be that my aunt has forgotten now? ”

"You ......" Although the imperial concubine was angry, she still endured it and said to him: "Yaocen, don't be willful, I'm all for your good." ”

"So my aunt told me, now that Qingdi has been poisoned, does it have anything to do with you?" Chu Yaocen did not relent, and continued to ask.

"Of course ......not" The imperial concubine originally wanted to say no, but when she looked up at Chu Yaocen, she felt that there was a bit of certainty and danger in his eyes, which made her suddenly not want to continue to refute. After thinking about it, she sighed and said, "That's not poison, it's just to make Qingdi feel more tired and reduce the number of times she comes to the palace." ”

Chu Yaocen couldn't help but feel funny, and said: "If you don't want Qingdi to enter the palace and meddle in the affairs between you and the prince, you can tell her that she will ask for leave to report illness, why did you come up with such a trick?" ”

"Oh, it's all right," the imperial concubine frowned, "Didn't I say it?" I've already confirmed that kind of medicine with the henchmen and doctors of the Tai Hospital, and it will definitely not hurt anything, but it just makes people tired, why do you want to drill the horns? ”

Chu Yaocen looked at her, stretched out his hand and said, "Auntie, give me the antidote." When I go back, I will explain to Qingdi and ask her to say that she is sick at home and will not come to the palace. ”

Hearing that his tone softened slightly, the imperial concubine also spoke to this extent, so she smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, you wait a while, I'll go and ask someone to bring you the antidote." ”

Chu Yaocen saw that she agreed to give the antidote, her face looked a little better, and she didn't say anything more. The two were silent for a moment, and then the imperial concubine asked again: "Chengguan has already sent someone to tell me about your separation, and now that you have a lot of property in your hands, do you want to go back to Wu Country immediately and find your uncle?" ”

Chu Yaocen raised his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and then chuckled: "Auntie, you seem to have a lot of complaints about my establishment of diplomatic relations with King Kang just now, and now you are urging me to return to Wu Kingdom, I take the liberty of asking, in my aunt's heart, who should I make friends with best, when should I return to Wu Kingdom, and what should I do after that?" ”

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes, and then chuckled: "What Yao Cen wants to do, naturally you don't have to listen to my opinion." But if Yao Cen wants to hear it, I'm willing to say it. Yao Cen had a good relationship with King Rui before, and everyone thought that Yao Cen would definitely become King Rui's person in the future, but now that he suddenly established diplomatic relations with King Kang, King Rui is likely to be unhappy. ”

Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and said: "Although Lord Rui is not a gentleman, nor is he a complaining woman, the friendship between me and him is a clean brotherhood, he didn't think about using me to do anything, and now he will naturally not be unhappy." ”

"Oh? Is it? "The imperial concubine knew that Chu Yaocen was pretending to be stupid, and she didn't break it, anyway, it would not be good for Chu Yaocen to establish relations with any prince, it would be better for him to have a left and right relationship for a while, and then every prince would be offended, and he would have to return to her.

The imperial concubine thought about it, and continued: "As for when you will return to Wu Kingdom...... You may not know that your uncle is over 50 years old, and when a man reaches this age, his body is not as good as before, and his brain is not bright. I heard that several of your uncle's sons began to secretly compete for the throne a year ago, and civil strife is inextricable. I think if you really have some ideas, it is better to go to Wu Guo as soon as possible and give your uncle ideas. ”

Chu Yaocen quickly twisted his brows, glanced at the imperial concubine suspiciously, and asked, "Auntie, is this true?" ”

The imperial concubine nodded: "Yes, Wu Guo has always kept these things very secret, and other countries don't know about Wu's internal strife at all." It's just that the county lord we sent to Wu Guohe before, her father is a confidant I cultivated, and I learned about these things in my daughter's family letter, and told me again. However, my Li State is also about to have civil strife, and I have no time to take care of myself, so I did not take this opportunity to attack Wu State, and Wu State did not have time to take advantage of His Majesty's critical illness to attack Li State. Otherwise, think about it yourself, why has Li Guo and Wu been safe for so many years? ”

Regarding the words of the imperial concubine, Chu Yaocen did not believe it all, but he couldn't believe it. He nodded and said, "Thank you aunt for reminding me, I'll go back and think about it carefully, and when I think about it clearly, I'll go to Wu to see the situation." ”

The imperial concubine nodded in response. At this time, the maid had already brought the antidote, and Chu Yaocen took the medicine and went back.

After Chu Yaocen went home, he tried the medicine, and it was really the antidote, so he let Qingdi eat it, and told Qingdi the purpose of the imperial concubine to give her the medicine.

After listening to it, after thinking about it, he asked Chu Yaocen: "The imperial concubine doesn't want me to enter the palace, so I can't enter it?" ”

Chu Yaocen said: "Let's stay at home for a while, the wine that the emperor wants to drink is properly disposed of in the early stage, and you can just wait in the later stage, and it is not safe for you to enter the palace every day." ”

Qingdi nodded in response, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Didn't Senior Liu say that I need to take the prince out of the palace?" I might as well take the opportunity to go to the emperor to complain about the illness, secretly meet the prince, and bring the prince out. ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "Okay, early tomorrow morning, you go to the palace, when will the prince leave the palace, and where will he appear after leaving the palace, I will ask clearly, and when you come back, I will go and tell Senior Liu about your plan, and let him arrange for Jing Yuanying to meet the prince." ”

"Hmm." Qingdi responded to the matter, and the two then rested.

The next day, Qingdi entered the palace, and after asking the emperor for leave, he wanted to see the prince, but remembered that the prince was beaten last time, so he didn't go directly, but waited for him at the place where he needed to pass after entering the palace.

Sure enough, he passed by here not long after Fu finished, and Qingdi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lord Fu, please stay." ”

There was no one in the alley that he passed by at this moment, but now he was stopped by Qingdi, and he looked around for a long time before he went over and asked Qingdi, "What did Madame call me for?" ”

Qingdi asked in a low voice: "Lord Fu, I want to ask you, when can the prince leave the palace on weekdays?" ”

"The prince is out of the palace?" After thinking for a while, he immediately said: "Then it depends on why the prince is out of the palace, if the prince wants to go out of the palace to play, just tell the imperial concubine, because the imperial concubine wants the prince to be more...... Go to the folk and experience the folk life. ”

After hearing this, Qingdi smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Fu, can you let the prince out of the palace today?" ”

Fu Wan was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to leave the palace?" ”

Qingdi pursed her lips, thought about it for a while, and felt that arranging a helper for the prince was a good thing no matter what, and he should not refuse if he was really good for the prince, so he said: "I can't hide it, a few days ago, there was a senior in the imperial city who my husband admired, named Liu Qimang, and he asked me to take the prince out of the palace." ”

As soon as he heard Liu Qimang's name, his eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't ask Liu Qimang why he wanted the prince to leave the palace, so he hurriedly agreed, and said to Qingdi: "Okay, I'll go tell the imperial concubine now, take His Royal Highness the prince to the West Market to play, and experience the life of the people." ”

Qingdi smiled slightly, thanked the ambush, and hurried back to tell Chu Yaocen what Fu Wan said, and Chu Yaocen turned to tell Liu Qimang, after Liu Qimang knew, he knew that most of the matter had been successful, so the two of them didn't have to worry about it anymore, so they went back to arrange.

Liu Qimang went back and gave Jing Yuanying ten cents and explained to him: "You go to the West Market and help me buy a roast chicken." ”

Jing Yuanying took the money and hurriedly ran out.

After he left, Liu Qimang laughed for a while, then packed his bags and left the imperial city without looking back.

When Jing Yuanying arrived at the West Market, she asked where the shop selling roast chicken was, so she went to buy something, but the person who sold roast chicken saw that he was dressed in tatters and full of stench, so he said to him: "You little beggar, the money in your hand must have been stolen, right?" I can't sell chickens to you. ”

Jing Yuanying was simple-minded, and he didn't understand why people disliked him, so he chased after him and explained seriously: "Shopkeeper, I didn't steal this money, it was given to me by the old fairy." ”

The shopkeeper saw that he had run to the store, and the stench of the store was so bad that the customers in the store were about to run away, and the shopkeeper was angry, so he threw him out with the collar of Jing Yuanying's clothes, and said: "You little thief, you are dirty, don't come again, your store stinks!" ”

Jing Yuanying was angry, frowned, went up and hugged the shopkeeper's leg and began to kick him and beat him, the shopkeeper was immediately stunned, he didn't expect a child to have such strength, so that he was unprepared, fell straight to the ground, and his head hit the steps, and immediately bled like a torrent.

There was a sudden chaos in the store, the guests ran out one after another, shouting and killing people, and the guys in the store also hurriedly ran out and grabbed Jing Yuanying and began to beat him and scold him, what little bastard with no father and mother, and the little slut raised by dogs and dogs were all scolded, Jing Yuanying felt unhappy when she heard people mention "Daddy and Mother", but she didn't know how to scold people at all, so she could only beat them fiercely, just like fighting mountain ghosts and tigers and leopards on Zhaoyao Mountain, a few adult guys, dealing with him as a teenager, It didn't even take advantage of it at all.

Fu Wan and the prince also arrived in the West Market at this moment, the two squeezed through the crowd, looked inside for a while, Yin Sheng secretly sighed: "He doesn't look much older than me, but he is so powerful." ”

Fu Wan nodded: "Yes, these guys rely on the large number of people, and they can't take advantage of him at all." But so many adults bully a child, and it's still a joke, so I'll go up and help him. ”

Yin Sheng hurriedly grabbed Fu Wan, looked up at him and said, "Don't go yet, Taifu, I still want to see his skills again." ”

After listening, he quickly nodded and retreated. Yin Sheng looked at the wolf-like young man, and his eyes revealed a look that he had never seen before.
