Yan'an City has never been short of idlers who quarrel with each other, these people seem to have nothing to do on weekdays, but whenever they hear a little movement from those high-ranking families, they can spread all kinds of rumors all over the sky in a day, especially if it is something that spreads out in the palace, it is enough for these people to arrange.

The morning light is faint, rising more and more, and the golden light of ten thousand rays of light clears the clouds and mist, bringing a new day of vitality, but in such a sunny day, Bai Yuqi can't walk a bright road.

In the silent imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and sighed for a long time except for sighing... Bai Yuqi stood solemnly in the middle, unconsciously, he had become accustomed to frowning and thinking, restless himself, but he forgot how dazzling the cynical and unruly King Qi was in the past.

"Why are you dead!"

"Back to my father, the people below didn't look at it, and the palace maid set it on fire."

Bai Yuqi's voice was slightly poignant, he and Luochen had repeatedly thought of countless ways to save the Ning family before, but in the end they were personally vetoed by the two of them, and in the end there were two ways left, one, begging the queen, obviously even if Bai Yuqi could lick his face, the queen would definitely ignore it. Second, if you don't fight for the throne, Bai Yuqi doesn't seem to be very willing.

"What's that asking for then?"

"I'm sure it's Ning's, I can't ask no matter how I ask.."

Bai Yuqi's expression was extremely innocent, how could the emperor not understand what he meant, in this palace, not to mention the masters who were high above, even the people serving below were all human spirits, besides, the person in the Ning family, the emperor and Bai Yuqi generally understood, and he couldn't instigate words that made people vomit blood.

"I heard that there have been rumors in Beijing in the past two days, and besides, the right minister has never said a word on this matter.

"The son knows that the father is embarrassed for the son.."

Bai Yuqi suddenly showed a desperate look on his face, there is really no room for turning around in this matter, those people who pass on the Ning family in their mouths are not what they do, especially those who are involved in the previous generation, the death of Zhou Guogong and Old Marquis Hu, the difference between cloud and mud... If the royal family doesn't do anything, the target of those people's attacks will soon be Bai Yuqi.

"King Qi, come here."

"Father.."

Bai Yuqi walked slowly to the emperor, and the emperor grabbed his wrist very warmly, just like the son of an ordinary family did something wrong, and when the father did not blame, there was only a strong worry, support and protection...

"The queen's matter is not trivial, and the concubine is eyeing her, if you can, how can I be willing to let you be wronged."

"Erchen knows."

Bai Yuqi raised his other hand and held the emperor's hand, if the emperor heard such serious words, he would faint on the spot, in private, the emperor would always treat Bai Yuqi as the dearest, and the words seemed to be as if the prince and those people were all outsiders! That's why Bai Yuqi will be such a character before and after.

"Your mother left early, I know that you value the Ning family as important, but you have to remember that I am your closest person, your father."

"Father.."

The emperor's voice trembled a little, he really loved his third son from the bottom of his heart, Bai Yuqi didn't hold back, he hung his head and shed tears, not too moved, but he and the emperor had already decided.

"Don't be embarrassed by your father, just deal with it according to the palace rules."

"It's hard to be a prince."

Hard? If the prince has this treatment, he is afraid that he will be able to wake up with a smile when he sleeps, Bai Yuqi barely squeezed out a smile, and let the emperor pull him, feeling the fatherly love that the emperors of all dynasties have never had, and only blamed the Ning family's ending on the concubine and the prince in his heart.

What's more, the emperor's attitude all along seems to be telling Bai Yuqi that there is a difference between intimacy and alienation, even if that person is also the emperor's son, or even the crown prince, Bai Yuqi does not need to be afraid, let alone fight...

"Father, give an order.."

"Okay, Colliers.."

For the emperor's love for him, and for the emperor to love him even more in the future, Bai Yuqi let go of the emperor's hand and returned to his original position, which father is not pleased with such a sensible appearance, the emperor nodded, and he was also a little unbearable to the Ning family.

"Your Majesty.. The Queen Mother is here. ”

"How about her? Let the queen in. ”

There was a little indifference between the emperor's eyebrows and eyes, and then there was a trace of half-truth and half-truthful care, Bai Yuqi stood aside, lowered his head and listened to the queen step by step into the imperial study.

"The concubines see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Hurry up, the queen is not in good health, if you have something, let your subordinates inform me, I can go to Kunning Palace."

The emperor's tone seemed to blame, but he personally walked down and helped the queen to the chair, the queen bowed her head and smiled indifferently, and then swept her eyes over Bai Yuqi on the side, with some irony, since everyone joined forces to kill the former gentle queen, don't blame the queen herself for being too vicious!

"It's okay, the concubine is here to say a word, the concubine will not be held accountable, let the Ning family continue to be in the cold palace."

"Really?"

Bai Yuqi was as surprised as the emperor, and looked at the queen in shock, the queen didn't have any special look on her face, and nodded at Bai Yuqi, but her eyes were like charity, naturally she took it seriously, the queen couldn't wait to screw off Ning's head and hang it at the door of her own Kunning Palace, but like this, it was meaningless...

"It's rare for the queen to be so mindful of the overall situation, the queen can rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and find the culprit behind the scenes!"

"The son thanked his mother."

Look, the emperor let go so easily, he didn't even insist on acting, the queen didn't know what disappointment was, got up and helped Bai Yuqi up, and then bowed to the emperor and left.

Bai Yuqi's fists in his sleeves were clenched, trying to calm the shock in his heart. The queen's eyes when she lifted him up were full of undisguised hatred, it was a kind of hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, as if even the soul was trembling because of hatred, and he couldn't tear Ning and Bai Yuqi apart inch by inch!

The other side of the palace.

The concubine Niangniang was dressed in a swaggering gorgeous dress, looking at the black chessboard in front of her, her slightly squinted eyes flashed with essence, the prince held the sunspot between his fingers, and looked at it with a solemn expression for a moment, before dropping the chess pieces with some unconfidence.

"Are you sure?"

"No regrets."

The corners of the prince's mouth rose, and the concubine on the opposite side fell calmly. The palace maids who are waiting in the palace are all smiling in their hearts, the honor and disgrace of the people in this palace and the rise and fall of the master are inseparable, and there is no more glorious place in the harem than here.

"Hasn't King Qi left the imperial study yet?"

"Don't worry, if you're not careful, you'll lose everything."

The concubine talked and laughed again, and this chess game is like the current game, virtual and real, you come and go.. No matter which path Bai Yuqi chooses to take, the concubine has a strategy to deal with it, but it just depends on Bai Yuqi's choice, the prince nodded embarrassedly, but he can't be as single-minded as the concubine.

"I've seen Niangniang, Your Highness, King Qi left the imperial study, because the queen went to intercede, and the Ning family was fine.."

"What!"

The prince's brows were furrowed, the chess pieces in his hand fell, and they fell on the chessboard with a crackling sound, ruining a good game of chess for the concubine, and the grandmother lowered her head and was about to say it again, when she saw the concubine packing up the chessboard and waved her hand at her, she led the palace maids in the hall to retreat.

"Mother, the queen is..."

"How many women want to enter this imperial city, but they don't know that this is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones... Pain has always been the best way to temper people's will, and it seems that the queen is planning to torture the Ning family with one mind, which is a good thing. ”

A touch of disappointment flashed on the concubine's face, there are not many good opportunities to kill the Ning family like this, just thinking of how the Ning family will be targeted by the queen and retaliate from now on... I can't help but look forward to it.

"But let King Qi escape!"

"Silly Huang'er, do you think that the death of the Ning clan will be a blow to King Qi? She really deserves to live, let's watch how the Ning clan will drag King Qi to death. ”

A hint of schadenfreude also flashed in the prince's eyes, but it was a pity, but the prince of the Ning family's woman also knew it very well, and he couldn't help it, so it was okay to pull Bai Yuqi's hind legs when he had nothing to do, as for the queen, it was best to deal with the Ning family, even if he turned his head to deal with them, the concubine was not afraid, after all, the heir was the trump card.

"Hasn't Shunying's stomach moved yet?"

"Mother... This is not to blame Shun Ying. ”

Speaking of this, the concubine's expression changed again, and the jade box containing the chess pieces was put on the table, and the prince smiled and began to clean up, and he saw the change in the concubine's attitude towards the princess in the past year, not to mention how affectionate he was for his own wife, and it was true that he was satisfied.

"Alas. If we hadn't given up in the first place.."

"Mother!"

The prince stopped the concubine's next words half resolutely and half melancholy, how can there be so many regret pills to take, even if time goes back, the prince should not change his determination to get rid of Fang Xing.

"Okay, okay, don't mention the concubine, Hao'er is fine, you still have to be careful that Fang Xing is friendly with other princes, by the way, Fang Xing doesn't seem to be the same to Concubine Yue.."

"Really?"

The corners of the prince's mouth twitched, trying to hide the past with a smile, but who was sitting across from him... The concubine played with the white child in her hand, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashing with calculation.

"By the way, is that palace maid from the Ning family?"

"It's hard to say, if a person who has served the queen for three years is used by the palace, the palace will definitely be able to give full play to her value."

The concubine was amazed under the ridicule, but she didn't get entangled in the owner of a chess piece, the chess piece was barely used to the fullest, but she didn't know how frightened Fang Xing would be if she knew with Bai Yuqi and the others, it was actually not the concubine's person!

The concubine kept wearing an expression that seemed to be smiling, which made the prince cry out in his heart, he failed to divert the concubine's attention, and only hoped that the concubine and Fang Xing would not have to fight.
