Cai Yashan only reacted to what she said to Jing Ning after she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Heng at a loss, her originally ruddy face turned pale in an instant. Looking at her frightened gaze, Zhao Heng only felt that his heart was filled with sourness and pity.

"Ah Heng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, don't be angry, okay?" Cai Yashan's apricot eyes actually had a layer of mist, and her voice was a little crying.

Zhao Heng sighed lightly, he opened his arms and hugged the helpless person in front of him into his arms, gently patted her back and said softly: "If you say it, you will say it, it is true, don't be afraid." ”

Cai Yashan suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Heng when he heard this, and two lines of hot tears fell without warning, Zhao Heng saw her crying, his expression suddenly became flustered, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away Cai Yashan's tears, but the tears gushed out as if they couldn't stop.

Zhao Heng couldn't take care of Jing Ning, who was staring wide-eyed, he couldn't stop comforting Cai Yashan, who was crying in his arms, but the more relieved he was, the more fierce Cai Yashan cried.

"I'm done, if Concubine Mei knows, I will never see you again!" Cai Yashan kept sobbing, stumbling over a word, so pitiful.

"No, I'll stay with Shan'er." Zhao Heng was amused and distressed when he heard this, he gently rubbed Cai Yashan's soft hair, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Jing Ning frowned when she heard this, it seemed that she had guessed well, and sure enough, it was Concubine Mei who was the obstruction, but why was this? Cai Yashan is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, although Zhao Heng is the prince, but he has not been in Kyoto for a long time, and basically has no power.

And seeing that these two are also in love, why did Concubine Mei stop such a good marriage? What is her purpose?

"Ahem, two, please note, I'm still here." Jing Ning coughed lightly, although she didn't want to disturb Zhao Heng and Cai Yashan's exchange of feelings, she had some things that she had to ask clearly at this time.

Cai Yashan poked her head out of Zhao Heng's arms when she heard this, her eyes were already red, she glanced at Jing Ning, and reluctantly distanced herself from Zhao Heng. The corners of Jing Ning's mouth couldn't help but curl, she was sure that Cai Yashan was definitely intentional, she just deliberately pretended to be pitiful to get close to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng was full of amazement, he only cared about Cai Yashan, and forgot that Jing Ning was still here, and he hurriedly pulled out an apologetic smile to Jing Ning.

"It's a faux pas, don't be surprised by the young lady."

"It's okay, but there are a few things that I would like to ask you to help me." Jing Ning looked serious and became serious.

Zhao Heng and Cai Yashan glanced at each other, and their expressions also changed. Finally, Zhao Heng sighed and said, "The young lady asks, there is no need to hide it now." ”

"I remember that Miss Cai wanted to marry into the General's Mansion at the beginning." Jing Ning remembered that Cai Yashan was in the hall that day, regardless of the picture of crashing into the pillar, he still had palpitations.

"I want to marry Ah Heng, but it was Concubine Mei who asked me to marry into the General's Mansion." Cai Yashan's cheeks bulged, obviously resentful of Concubine Mei.

"Why? Moreover, since you don't want to marry into the General's Mansion, why are you so hostile to me? Jing Ning's heart became more and more puzzled.

Cai Yashan didn't answer, she looked at Zhao Heng faintly, Zhao Heng coughed embarrassedly and said, "Please also ask the young lady to listen to me carefully." ”

Concubine Mei and the queen entered the palace in the same year, and the queen at that time was dignified and elegant, full of everyone's beautiful calm bearing, gentle and virtuous. Concubine Mei is cold, like a red plum in the cold winter, very cold and beautiful, which is unstoppable.

When they first entered the palace, the two admired each other and had a decent relationship, but after a long time, that friendship was drowned out by the intrigues and tricks in the palace, and there was only bitter hatred for each other.

When Concubine Mei was pregnant with Zhao Heng, she had great expectations for this child, but she didn't expect it to be bad for the queen, and she had to send Zhao Heng out of Kyoto, away from this place that devoured people and bones. But Concubine Mei was not reconciled, she privately begged the Taoist priest in the temple to teach Zhao Heng's martial arts to strengthen her body, and at the same time hibernated in the palace and waited for an opportunity.

Now that Zhao Heng is already in the year of the weak crown, the dark tide in the court is surging, Concubine Mei feels that her opportunity has come, she called Zhao Heng back and wanted to conspire with her, but she didn't expect that Zhao Heng's mind was not on the way of the emperor at all, but on a woman's body, that is, Cai Yashan.

"When I first met Shan'er, I was only eight years old, and that day Lord Cai took a pink-carved child to visit the master in Guanli, and I still remember that Shan'er was wearing a small blue jacket at that time." Zhao Heng's face was full of smiles, and Cai Yashan's cheeks quietly crept into a blush.

"After that, I often pestered my father to send me to Guanzhong to find Ah Heng, and when I got older, I went to find it myself, and my father couldn't control me." Cai Yashan's pretty face was full of pride.

Jing Ning nodded understandingly, Zhao Heng has been away from Kyoto since he was a child, so naturally he has no playmates, although he and Cai Yashan were young at that time, their relationship was indeed extremely innocent and not mixed with any impurities.

However, Concubine Mei strongly disagreed with this matter, but she did not push Cai Yashan away, but took advantage of Cai Yashan's feelings for Zhao Heng, let Cai Yashan marry into the General's Mansion and seek the power of the General's Mansion, and Zhao Heng was ordered by Concubine Mei to approach Jing Ning, if Zhao Heng married Jing Ning, then the Prime Minister's Mansion would naturally take more care of Zhao Heng. In this way, Zhao Heng will go from an idle prince with nothing to the most likely person to inherit the throne.

"Mother kisses her, she's too paranoid." Zhao Heng sighed, and there was a bit of bitterness between his eyebrows.

Jing Ning was shocked when she heard it, Concubine Mei didn't even let go of her own son for that throne? Where is this paranoia, it is clearly crazy!

"I just want to be with Ah Heng, but Concubine Mei doesn't allow it, if I don't marry into the General's Mansion, I'm afraid I won't see Ah Heng in my life." Cai Yashan was also a little depressed on her face, she was originally simple-minded, but for Zhao Heng, she was dragged into this troubled water by Concubine Mei.

Jing Ning nodded, she understood Cai Yashan, she had a deep affection for Zhao Heng, even if Concubine Mei wanted to dedicate her to the emperor, I am afraid that Cai Yashan would not refuse.

"Young lady, I hope you can hide this matter for the two of me for a while, I have no intention of status, I just hope that my mother will wake up as soon as possible and break this thought." Zhao Heng looked at Jing Ning with a little more pleading in his eyes.

"Fourth Highness, with all due respect, if you keep waiting like this, I'm afraid that when Miss Cai gets married, Concubine Mei will not wake up." Jing Ning's gaze was a little helpless, and Zhao Heng couldn't help but think about this matter too simply.
