In the middle of the night, the Three Princes' Mansion fell silent, but the red lantern in the mansion was lit up and not extinguished.

Suddenly, a terrible female voice almost wanted to pierce the night, startling the sleeping person to wake up suddenly, and after looking at the endless darkness, there was a terrifying tremble.

The screaming did not stop, even Xiao Ji and Rong Han were awakened, Xiao Ji lifted the curtain and shouted with a slightly gloomy face: "What's the matter?" ”

The maid guarding outside was also frightened, listening to the terrifying sound, and shook her head helplessly.

Rong Hanqiang propped up his body and said softly, "I don't know what's going on, so I'll ask." One hand was placed on Xiao Ji's shoulder, and he said to the outside: "Liu Ye came in and lit the lamp." ”

After about a moment, Yang Shen stood outside the door and said in a voice that could be heard inside: "Your Highness, something happened to Lin Liangren. ”

Xiao Ji's face changed, and he pushed away Rong Han's hand on her shoulder: "What's the matter!" ”

Rong Han looked at her hand that was pushed away, sneered at herself, her eyes lowered, and she said softly: "Your Highness is asking here, and you can't ask clearly, why don't you go to Lin Liangren and see what is going on." ”

Xiao Ji looked back at Rong Han: "I have wronged you." ”

Rong Han shook his head: "I will go with His Highness." ”

Liu Ye dressed Rong Han inside, glanced at Xiao Ji outside, and said in a low voice in her ear: "The maid inquired clearly, this Lin Liangren used to be the most liked by His Royal Highness, but there were many concubines in the house, and she had been pregnant once before, but she didn't keep it for some reason." ”

Rong Han closed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and asked from the willow leaves to straighten his clothes, "What about the side concubine?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head slightly: "I heard that I was sick a few days ago, otherwise the princess would have been present when she got married today." ”

Rong Han smiled coldly, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Sick? What a coincidence. ”

When he went to Lin Liangren's courtyard, Xiao Ji asked the reason, and the maid who served Lin Liangren didn't say a word for a long time.

Rong Han patted Xiao Ji's hand lightly, but he spoke first: "You don't have to be afraid, Your Highness doesn't want to ask you for guilt, if something happens to your beloved, you are just the most afraid, and after all, I will not easily wronged you." ”

The maid knelt on the ground, trembling like chaff, crying: "Return, go back to His Royal Highness and the princess, since the last time the child was lost, the beloved was sad, and His Royal Highness blamed her for not holding the heir, this time she was pregnant, and the beloved was so happy that His Royal Highness came back to visit her, and did not want to wait for the princess where the lights went out." ”

When she said this, her face was amazing, she knew that her master was eager to be favored, but after all, today is the wedding of the three princes, and she is still married to the niece of the noble concubine, how can Her Royal Highness give up the princess to come.

But Lin Liangren couldn't figure this out, seeing that the lights on Rong Han's side were out, they clamored to go to Rong Han's courtyard to see Xiao Ji, and they didn't dare to stop them, so they could only persuade and protect them, but Lin Liangren wanted to be stunned, and he fell down the steps by himself, although there was a maid cushion.

However, Lin Liangren's body bones have not been good since the last abortion, so it will be so serious.

Xiao Ji's face was ugly, revealing a hint of chill: "Nonsense! ”

This is the imperial doctor who walked out of it, shook his head and said to Xiao Ji: "Back to Your Highness, the minister tried his best, but the lover was often frightened during pregnancy, and the previous miscarriage hurt the bone, this child can't be saved." ”

Lin Liangren, who was still in a coma, heard this, woke up suddenly, and exclaimed bitterly: "My child! ”

Rong Han smiled at Xiao Ji: "Your Highness, I'll go and see my beloved." ”

Rong Han entered. He smelled a pungent smell of blood, and covered his nose without a trace.

Lin Liangren's face was pale and a little transparent, she widened her eyes and glanced at Rong Han, but she screamed to sit up: "It's you, it's you!" You're the one who hurt my child! ”

Lin Liangren said this inexplicably, Xiao Ji also walked in when he heard this, and glanced at Rong Han.

Rong Han looked at Xiao Ji silently, lowered his head and was silent.

Xiao Ji watched the woman who had once been favored by him become so crazy, and he was disgusted in his heart, and even the pity she felt for losing her child also became disgust: "Enough, if you don't mess around with yourself, how can you not keep the child, you are still here to accuse the princess for no reason!" ”

Lin Liangren's sharp voice paused, and then he cried: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" ”

"Your Royal Highness used to like me the most, and he never said a word of weight to me, I know that you blame me for being useless and failing to protect the child, but it doesn't matter that the child is gone, the concubine can have it again!"

Xiao Ji wanted to scold, but Rong Han held his hand: "Your Highness is angry, the beloved is so helpless because he has lost his child." ”

Xiao Ji looked away, unwilling to look at Lin Liangren again.

It's just that he suddenly remembered what Xie Yu said to him in his heart, "pay back" to him, is this what he gave him?

But how would he know that the concubine in my house is pregnant, or is there his eyeliner in this house?

Xiao Ji's eyes froze, and they became gloomy.

Outsiders don't know about the prince's mansion, but the palace can't hide it, and Concubine Zhao Shufei laughed for a long time when she heard the news.

Qi Guifei was angry in her heart, but she could think further, her son was going to ascend the throne, and the eldest son of the emperor was better to be a son-in-law, although she regretted the child who was abandoned, but she valued the child who had a belly in the future.

Qi Guifei frowned slightly and asked: "Before Han'er entered the mansion, the side concubine was taking care of the affairs of the mansion, and she said that she didn't care about anything if she was sick, otherwise she would make trouble about Lin Liangren." ”

She looked at Rong Han: "In the future, you have to restrain the concubines in His Royal Highness's mansion, if you make this kind of joke, your face as a princess will not look good." ”

Rong Han lowered his head: "Han'er knows." ”

Seeing that Rong Han was obedient, Qi Guifei said again: "The reason why this palace chose you to be the princess of His Royal Highness is not only because of Rong Wangfu, not only because you and I both have the blood of the Qi family, but also because a woman must have the means to envelop a man, and let him have no worries, Han'er, you don't want your aunt to be disappointed." ”

Rong Han knelt down, his eyes became very deep, and he condensed into an obsession and said, "Han'er understands." ”

After taking a sip of hot tea from the teacup, Qi Guifei looked out with a faint gaze: "How long has it been?"

Rong Han raised her head slightly, followed Qi Guifei's gaze, and immediately understood that he was talking about how long Xiao Ji had been in Emperor Jinyuan's Xuanzheng Palace, her back straightened, and she bowed her head and said, "It's been about two hours." ”

Qi Guifei's eyebrows darkened, put down the teacup in her hand, and muttered, "Two hours." ”

The wide sleeves moved slightly, but the tea cup was knocked over, and the tea poured out.

Rong Han hurriedly got up, asked Aunt Chuqiu to teach the palace people to clean up, and asked, "Does the concubine have burns?" ”

Qi Guifei's expression was slightly condensed, and she looked at the water stains on her sleeves and said, "This palace has found that Your Majesty has become more and more fond of reprimanding her stepchild in the past six months. ”

Rong Han made a movement in his hand, leaned down and was silent.

Concubine Qi Guifei stroked Rong Han's back and smiled gently: "This palace is not blaming you for your stepson. The son of this palace is arrogant and arrogant, and he must be strong in everything, but only if he lacks so much patience and does not know how to forbear, he will be repeatedly calculated by others. ”

Qi Guifei picked up Rong Han's face, took off the coat from her hair, and put the golden hairpin on Rong Han's bun: "Some people may want to use this to make their stepchild be rejected by His Majesty, but although His Majesty is angry, he has not been severely punished. ”

After another hour, Xiao Ji walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall with a slightly gloomy face, but the deep meaning flowing in his eyes was hidden.

In his ears is still what Emperor Jin Yuan said to him: "I have never stopped you and Cheng'er from competing for the position of the middle palace, the palace has always been the first to have the virtue of the monarch and the minister before there is humanity, if you let yourself lose the right to fight, that is to teach me to be extremely disappointed, how to do it, how not to teach me to be disappointed, it depends on how you think." ”

Xiao Ji was stunned when he heard this, he thought that he would be reprimanded by Emperor Jin Yuan, but he didn't want to say this.

He paused: "Father, this is?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Jin Yuan first dropped the cinnabar pen in his hand on Xiao Ji: "I have let you fight, what more do you have to say!" ”

Xiao Ji lowered his body even lower, and Emperor Jin Yuan's face was impatient: "If the previous thing happens again, you don't have to do it here." Get lost! ”

Xiao Ji bowed his head and retreated.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Jin Yuan closed the book, pinched his throbbing eyebrows, and asked, "Who do you say is the most suitable for the position of the middle palace?" ”

Xie Yu picked up the cinnabar pen that Emperor Jin Yuan threw on the ground and put it on the pen stand: "This matter is related to the country, and the minister does not dare to say anything." ”

The dark color of Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes changed: "Your eyes are the most poisonous, it doesn't hurt to talk to me." ”

Xie Yu's lowered eyes became a little darker: "The minister thinks that the third prince is the best." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan was slightly surprised: "You have some disagreements with the third prince, I know about it, how could I propose him to be the middle palace?" ”

Xie Yu hooked his lips and smiled, and no one noticed the coldness that gathered slightly under his eyes: "The third prince is so strong, he wants to be recognized by His Majesty, and in the future, he will become a middle palace and naturally think about the foundation of the Jin Dynasty." ”

"Approved?" Emperor Jin Yuan said inexplicably, "What will happen to him after I return to the sky?" Now what I am most afraid of is that the Jin Dynasty will fall into the hands of my relatives. ”

Xie Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he unconsciously guessed in his heart what Emperor Jin Yuan meant by this.

"There's no hurry in this matter, see how they fight, then you have to maneuver around it, don't teach them to mess around."

……

In the evening, the Second Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Cheng casually turned the folding fan in his hand: "Father's words mean to allow me and Xiao Ji to fight for the Middle Palace on the bright side." ”

Xie Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Guess again." ”

Xiao Cheng frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Xie Yu said quietly: "The two princes' competition for the throne is on the bright side, so what about the ministers of the court." ”

Xiao Cheng understood in an instant that the ministers of the DPRK and China would follow and stand, and everything would be clear at that time.
