Return to the Capital (V) (II)

It's not just the queen who is staring at Xinjie's side. When Jing Chen came to Concubine Chen's palace the next morning, he saw Yiqing with a stinky face and Concubine Chen with an indifferent expression.

"Yo, here comes the climber. Seeing that people are now close to the prince, they can't catch up with them, and even other women's women go to curry favor. ”

Jing Chen didn't care, Yiqing's wisdom was really not worth her attention. She greeted Concubine Chen in an orderly manner, and then sat quietly.

"Chen'er, you don't have anything to say?" In the end, Concubine Chen couldn't hold back

"Say what? Didn't Yiqing say it all? I climbed the high branches. Jing Chen played with his handkerchief happily, "That high branch is not only for me to climb, but I also want my mother to climb with me today." ”

"What did you say?" Yiqing stood up angrily, the chair behind him was pushed far away by him, and the legs of the palace maid standing behind him hurt, but she bared her teeth but didn't dare to make a sound.

Jing Chen wasn't in a hurry, just glanced at it: "I mean, we should be friendly with the Tang family." Others are ignorant, have you forgotten that the ancestral family of the concubine has also received the favor of the Tang family, and she has a life-saving grace for her grandfather. The Tang family has been standing in the rivers and lakes since the beginning of the previous dynasty and has not fallen for a hundred years. Although it has grown stronger over the years, its disciples still follow the ancestral teachings. Both medical skills and martial arts need to be used to ensure the safety of the people. Although Tang Xinjie is by Yiyi's side now, it is because he is the crown prince, protecting the prince, the throne is smoothly alternated, there is no chaos in the Great Zhou, and the people are free from war, This is the purpose of the Tang family's disciples. If it weren't Yiyi who was sitting in the position of the crown prince today, it was other princes, Tang Xinjie would also protect him, because from the public point of view, that was the prince of the Great Zhou, and from a private point of view, it was the blood of the queen mother, and it was his aunt and cousin. As she spoke, she looked at Yiqing with disdain: "If it is you who sits on the throne of the crown prince today, the Tang family will also protect you." It's just that you don't have the ability to let the imperial grandmother choose you. ”

"You......"Yi Qing gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't find the words to go back for a while.

"That being said, but brothers also have intimacy, Yiyi has been raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he is closer to the Tang brothers, that's a fact." Concubine Chen naturally knew that her daughter was much smarter than her son, she acted like this, and mentioned the rules of the Tang family, she must have her plans, so she answered the phone to ease the atmosphere, so that she could say her thoughts, but Yiqing didn't turn around for a while, and was still angry, and continued to roar: "Tang Xinjie and Yiyi, where is it just close, it's just wearing a pair of pants." Clear-eyed people know it at first glance, but you use this reason to perfunctory me and my mother, do you think we are stupid? ”

"Are you really smart? If you are smart, you will not choose people like Qiu Xiangdong to be close, and you will not be close to the Marquis of Xingyang, because they are not protecting you, but using you. This kind of closeness is rather not. ”

"I, Qiu Xiangdong and Xingyang Hou are at least planning for me and working for me. And we're doing business together, unlike those two, sleeping with women. ”

"What did you say?" Jing Chen thought he had misheard.

"Don't you know, these two envoys to the ancient country and slept with women, this is the true news from the ancient country. The envoy of the ancient fan kingdom is already on the way, and it is said that the king of ancient fan sent a woman to him and Yiyi. If you think about it, even if the average man goes to drink wine with his friends and has fun with him, but he doesn't sleep with a woman, it is equivalent to opening his back to others, showing his strength and weakness as a man to others. What kind of mutual trust does it take to be able to do this kind of thing without any guilt? ”

Jing Chen didn't listen to what he said later, but when he heard the exact news from the ancient fan country, he said vigilantly: "Why don't I know when you were so capable and sent all the spies to the ancient fan country?" ”

Yi Qing was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had missed his mouth.

"Speaking of which, Pingluan Pavilion said that Gonggong Sun next to his father was a spy of the ancient Fanguo, so he really didn't wronged him." Jing Chen always knew that Gonggong Sun was the person buried by Yiqing's side by the emperor's side.

"That's just an excuse for the people of Pingluan Pavilion to be assigned by Yiyi to dig into the eyeliner of our people." At the mention of this, Yiqing was a little short of breath, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Don't make excuses to cover it up, if Grandpa Sun really has an affair with Gu Fanguo, is the person who introduced him to you also related to Gu Fanguo? Or have you teamed up with them? After speaking, Jing Chen felt a chill on the back of his head.

"No, nothing."

"Qing'er, such a big matter, you can't make a mess of it on your own, you need to discuss it with us."

In the Wenhua Palace, Huang Meiren has been staying here to serve the sick. Since the crown prince came that day, the emperor actually didn't really favor her. The emperor thought about it, and asked Father-in-law Fang to specially prepare the Shenlong Pill, but after taking the medicine for half an hour, the emperor's face became not only ruddy, but red, and extremely excited, but just walked back to the dormitory from the front hall, took her hand, and was about to step on the foot in front of the bed, but his feet slipped, he didn't stand firmly, he fell, and then he couldn't stand up. First of all, his waist was twisted, and he couldn't stand up straight, and after the eunuchs helped him to the bed, he began to be dazed because of the effect of the medicine, and lay there kicking and beating and screaming. Father-in-law Fang, who was on duty, suddenly lost his senses, and didn't know what to do, until the guards outside alarmed Father-in-law He, the head of the Wenhua Palace. Gonggong He came in and took a pulse, so he slapped Gonggong Fang, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and sent someone to tell the Queen Mother. Turning around and coming back, the emperor had already begun to convulse, and Huang Meiren stood aside and watched shockingly. Gonggong He ignored her, quickly took out the silver needle he was carrying and pricked a few stitches in the emperor's arm, and bleed on his fingertips, so that the emperor calmed down.

Soon after, the Queen Mother, the Imperial Doctor, and all kinds of people came in like a marquee, and she just shrank aside, not daring to make a sound. She originally thought that in this case, the Queen Mother would teach her a lesson, after all, she was fortunate for the problems she brought tonight. But when the Queen Mother came in, not only did she not blame her, she didn't even look at her. She even wondered if the Queen Mother didn't know she was here. It's just that after the emperor's condition eased, the queen mother gave a faint order, Let Huang Meiren atone for her sins, serve the sick here, and then actually left with all the people who followed. Wenhua Hall as if nothing had happened, except for Father-in-law Fang, who was sent to some pavilion by the Queen Mother, she didn't hear clearly, and all the other people who were waiting didn't change. As if nothing had happened. Gonggong He was only when the Queen Mother left, when he heard that she was arranged to serve her sick, and glanced at her, In the past few days, Gonggong He was just like the past, only on duty in the front hall of Wenhua Palace, and never entered the dormitory. And when Fang Gong was fair, he just followed the emperor's side, ran errands, handed over a sweat towel, and had nothing else to do, and he didn't feel less at the moment.

In the flickering candlelight, Huang Meiren sat there, quietly looking at the emperor's sallow face, and her face was lifeless. An hour ago, the emperor woke up in a daze, and the imperial doctor ordered the emperor to enter bird's nest porridge and feed some decoction. As soon as he tossed like this, he was sweating profusely, and a few people were busy changing his clothes. When he was done, he seemed to be very tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep, not knowing or caring about anyone around. Although there were still two eunuchs on duty standing in the dormitory, Huang Meiren still felt a little eerie, and unconsciously tightened the shawl on her body. Although I didn't want to see it, my eyes were still involuntarily attracted to the emperor's face.

Looking at it, she felt that she must be sleepy, her eyes were spent, she seemed to see a big spider standing on the emperor's face, she wanted to walk through it and get rid of it, but she was afraid that she was an illusion and offended the dragon body, which was a capital crime. She rubbed her eyes, stood up, and walked closer to the emperor, trying to drive the illusion away. But the spider seemed to be real, and it was slowly moving across his face. She rubbed her eyes again, but the spider was still there. Closer she felt that she must be crazy, and she felt that the spider was not crawling on the emperor's face, but he was buried in his skin, and the spider was crawling from his forehead to his left ear at a slow pace. She pinched her arm hard, it hurt, it wasn't a dream, but the spider was still there. Just when she wanted to open her mouth to call someone, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were red, reflecting a bloodthirsty light. She was stunned, and then she screamed. Before she fainted, she heard the emperor's voice ringing in her ears: "She offended me, tried to confuse me with witchcraft, disposed of her, and threw her to a mass grave outside the city." ”

A few days later, when Huang Meiren woke up again, she didn't know where she was. Slowly sat up, and saw a handsome young man sitting opposite, who didn't react at first, but after a moment of clarity, he crawled to the ground and kowtowed to the man: "Please spare the prince..."

"Alright, you get up." The voice is elegant.

She still didn't dare to get up, and kept kowtowing.

"Alright, don't knock." There was a little impatience in his voice, "If it's up to you, even if you kowtow your head, I won't let people go to the mass grave to pick you up." ”

Huang Meiren was surprised, knelt down and looked up at him, looking confused.

Yiyi sighed deeply: "You should thank your parents for giving you this face, otherwise you will wait to feed the dogs in the mass grave." ”

Huang Meiren has known that she is beautiful since she was a child, and her mother said that she can't waste her beauty so much. Could it be that the prince fell in love with her that day and saved her?

Looking at her confused appearance, Yiyi didn't want to explain more, but said coldly: "Forget everything you saw in the palace, as long as your face is still there, this prince can let you survive safely in this Zhuangzi." But don't think too badly. You're nothing but a face like hers. ”
