The high vermilion walls enclose the splendid and atmospheric palace, and the palace walls are filled with handmaidens and eunuchs who are busy everywhere.

"The old slave respects the prince, the prince is here, His Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." Outside the Changlin Palace, Gonggong Han put the dust on his arm and bent over, his old face was full of flattery, and his voice was neither male nor female.

Xiao Liangzi, the eunuch beside Gonggong Han, pushed open the door of Changlin Palace, and stretched out his hand respectfully to invite Helian Jing to enter: "Respect the prince, please come in." ”

Zhong Lijing's face was gloomy and he didn't even glance at the two of them, and entered the Changlin Hall directly, Xiao Liangzi looked at the back of the prince and shrunk his neck: "Master, this cold and respectful prince really doesn't give face to the master." ”

"Tear your mouth carefully, the prince is the younger brother of the king's mother," Han Gonggong didn't dare to offend Zhong Lijing, shook off his white hair, and snorted with his chest, "Has Lord Xun Rong found it?" His Highness proclaimed it. ”

Xiao Liangzi was reprimanded, and said softly: "Back to Master, Xiao Zhuozi has already gone to find Lord Xunrong." ”

In the large and cool inner hall, the gold and copper incense burner lit the agarwood, and the man with a gloomy face and a faint anger in his eyebrows sat on a high seat.

"Uncle Wang is here, give me a seat." The maid hurriedly helped Zhong Lijing to sit down, and then retreated.

Zhong Lijing's face was like a vulture, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was fierce and bloody: "Prince, the Xun Ji sent by this king has been suspected by Zhong Lixun, we have underestimated him in the past few years, and we will find an opportunity to kill Xun Ji, lest she vent her mouth."

"Also, the matter of crossing the river has been exposed, the origin of the left minister Gongliangjian is unknown but it is extremely not simple, the matter of crossing the river has always been investigated by the left minister, to see if he can be brought over."

Zhong Liyong has been irritable about these things these days, and his merry second brother, who only cared about lingering in the flowers in the past, is actually ready to move on his crossing the river and accumulating troops.

Listening to Uncle Wang's discussion, his unscrupulous face turned his head and smiled: "What Uncle Wang said is extremely true, or Uncle Wang is thoughtful." ”

Zhong Liyong stood up at this time, the maid arranged his robe for him, his eyes were shining, and he arrested the prey: "But that Xun Ji is still useful, Uncle Wang doesn't know, Yong'er spent a lot of money to let the famous murder sect on the rivers and lakes Jiuping Gate look for the Kyushu wizard to ask about the whereabouts of the jade girl, there is a person in my second brother's mansion whose identity is suspicious, and he will keep Xun Ji for the time being, and he can also make an internal response." ”

Zhong Lijing said coldly: "Well, prince, you have to think about it carefully, in addition, the warehouse crossing the river must be strictly guarded, so you should not underestimate Zhong Lixun, when her mother Concubine Liufei died tragically, he respects you and me on the surface, but Uncle Wang feels that he is not as simple as he seems." ”

Uncle Wang has always been suspicious of the second brother, Zhong Liyong has been accustomed to it, he is the prince of the East Palace, his second brother is just born to a concubine, even if Zhong Lixun has the heart to seize the prince, he can't set off any waves.

"Your Highness, let Xun Rong go and kill him!" At this time, Xun Rong strode in and said coldly.

The person who came was dressed in dark men's clothes, with a man's hair in a bun and a sword at his waist, but the one with the delicate face and slender waist was indeed a woman.

Zhong Liyong said in an irresistible tone: "Xun Rong, you get up first." ”

Xun Rong paused, but still gritted his teeth and got up.

Zhong Lijing has always been dissatisfied with the personal guard of the prince and nephew, and he said coldly: "Xun Rong, don't act without obeying the orders of this king and the prince, even if you are strong in martial arts, if you don't follow the chessboard, it will only be bad for us, and sooner or later it will ruin the prince's affairs." ”

"Xun Rong only does things for His Royal Highness, and Xun Rong doesn't understand the words of the prince." Xun Rong raised her head coldly and arrogantly, no one could wear away her loyalty to His Highness.

"Graceful, presumptuous." Zhong Liyong coldly reprimanded.

"That's it......" Zhong Lijing's cold face was flushed with anger, and after a while, he only said with a cold face, "Prince, you are so self-conscious, take care of your subordinates, Uncle Wang will go first, and visit your queen mother in the palace when you have time." ”

"Yes, Yong'er sent Uncle Wang." Zhong Liyong glanced at Xun Rong with anger on his face, and motioned to Han Gonggong to send Zhong Lijing out of the East Palace.

***

"Madam, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a letter."

Ju Qiu was not there, and another maid walked into the Xunhua Pavilion and presented the letter that had just been sent from the East Palace to Mrs. Xun.

Mrs. Xun leaned on the fox fur couch and made a gloomy face: "Why is it the prince this time?"

Seeing that the master had been in a bad mood for His Royal Highness, the maid replied carefully: "Lord Jing has always been the head of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince may have something important to inform his wife, so he didn't let Prince Jing tell his wife."

"Hmm," Madame Smoke rubbed her brow with her rounded fingers, shaking off the letter in annoyance.

Then he slapped the letter on the table with a "snap".

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Madame, stop being angry...... But what bad happened? ”

Madame Xun had a dark face, her bewitching face looked a little terrifying, she gritted her teeth and said: "The prince actually asked me not to deal with that, and asked me to find a suitable time to send that to the East Palace!" It has been a day since Ju Qiu went to the prison cell for interrogation, and Mrs. Ben has already taken care of herself, and the prince did not take me out, but agreed to let the prince let me complete this kind of task! ”

The maid froze: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to Ah Rong?"

"Slut!" Mrs. Xun went up and slapped the stupid and mouthy maid vigorously, "Who said that!?" How could the prince want that!? Get out of here, Mrs. Ben! ”

The maid knew that she was not as smart as Sister Juqiu, so she hurriedly responded: "Yes, madam, Sister Juqiu will definitely release it soon......"

"This vixen! Without her, there would be no Mrs. Ben, and without me, there would be no such as her! ”

The maid stumbled out of the room, and Mrs. Xun had a gloomy and charming face, staring at the letter that fell to the ground, and broke the bright red Dankou on her nails at once, and there was a green sound.

Holding his chest, his anger came up, urging him to have a seven-day life-locking pill seizure. King Jing hasn't given her an antidote for five days, this time, even if she gambles on her life, she will personally end Ah Rong's!

***

The night gets darker, and the night wind gets stronger in the summer. The leaves of the plum tree outside the window are even more luxuriant, and the large flower garden outside the plum hall is only planted with this kind of tree. Zhong Lixun prefers plum trees, and even the fragrance on his body is plum fragrance, and the summer breeze blows the branches and leaves loudly, Ah Rong and Miaolan hurriedly close the window.

A few maidservants cleaned up the house, and Qiu Yue looked outside: "Why hasn't His Highness come back yet?" ”

"Let's all go out, His Highness rested in Fangyin Pavilion tonight." Qiushui ordered a few maids to leave the dormitory.

Qiu Yue's displeasure was all written on her face, and she complained in a low voice: "Why did Your Highness stay in Yinfang Pavilion during this time?" ”

Miao Lan turned on the lamp with a sleepy face, just looking forward to going back to rest early, Ah Rong's hand holding the scissors paused, but quickly raised the scissors and cut off the wick that was blown by the wind.

"Mrs. Yao has just woken up, and she can't serve Her Highness, only Mrs. Yin is the most demure and indifferent in the house, what's strange about Mrs. Yin in Her Highness?" Qiushui reprimanded Qiuyue for being too talkative.

Yimei Hall is empty at this time, in the past, it was often singing and dancing here, day and night, Zhong Lixun hugged Meiji left and right, and his concubines tasted fine wine. Baguio finally woke up, Ah Rong secretly visited her once, Xiao Dai and Su Ying'er were grounded by Zhong Lixun because of their involvement in Baguio's poisoning last time.

Mrs. Xun's suspicion was not cleared and she was also confined in Xunhua Pavilion, and I heard that her personal maid Juqiu was tortured and interrogated by the prison mother, and she still refuses to confess.

As for Mrs. Yin...... That beautiful and elegant woman, dignified and elegant in her gestures, Zhong Lixun and her are the most suitable pair, Ah Rong lowered his head and chuckled, feeling a little uncomfortable, Zhong Lixun got rid of Mrs. Xun and a few people may also be with Mrs. Yin, right?

Qiu Yue didn't talk back, she seemed to be angry and turned her back to Qiu Shui, and strode out of the dormitory, Ah Rong always felt that Qiu Yue had different feelings for Zhong Lixun, but she couldn't be sure.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's all disperse." Qiushui shook his head helplessly at Qiuyue, and said to Ah Rong and Miaolan and the other remaining people.

Miao Lan had already been sleepy, took Ah Rong's hand and walked out, and suddenly, the voice of the little guard guard came from outside: "Sister Qiushui, Your Highness is back." ”

Miao Lan hurriedly let go of Ah Rong's hand and saluted with everyone, Zhong Lixun's black robe swayed under her eyes, and the slender and handsome figure walked in.

"Go out and shut the doors of the temple." Miao Lan smiled and was about to pull Ah Rong out of the door, not wanting Zhong Lixun to surprise everyone again, "You stay and change clothes for His Royal Highness." ”

In the past, it was either Qiushui or Qiuyue to change His Highness's clothes, how could he not have thought that as soon as His Highness came back from Yinfang Pavilion this time, he would arrange for Ah Rong to stay, His Highness wanted to spoil Ah Rong again?

A few ordinary maids didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly retreated, Qiushui was stunned and pulled Qiu Yue with an angry face to leave, Miaolan also glanced at Ah Rong nervously and worriedly, so she could only retreat helplessly and close the door after going out.

In the huge dormitory, only she and Zhong Lixun were left at once.
