Chapter 418: Goodbye Yashan
Old General Xiao and Zheng Cheng glanced at each other, and a little chill flashed in their eyes, and now the situation is very clear, this is a trap set by Zhao Duo. The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion never intervened in party disputes, and they never publicly expressed their support for any prince. Although the four princes want to absorb the power of the second mansion, they have no way, since they can't absorb it, then they will destroy the relationship between the second mansion and others.
And this other person is naturally Zhao Yu, after all, only Zhao Yu can compete with him at the moment, and Jing Ning is not only the young lady of the General's Mansion but also the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she is naturally the most suitable person to act as the most suitable person for this contradiction. As long as Zhao Yu does something to hurt her, the emperor will inevitably punish him heavily when he is angry, because Xiao Rin is still at the border, and in order to maintain his rule, it is not something that the emperor can't do.
"This time we owe a favor to the Second Highness, and if the Second Highness needs it in the future, the two of us will definitely help each other without violating the principle." Old General Xiao clenched his fists at Zhao Yu, although his face was full of anger, but Zhao Yu knew that it was not at him, but at his own Sixth Emperor who lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
"So I'll thank you both first." Zhao Yu smiled warmly, but there was a little calculation in his eyes, to be able to get such a promise from General Xiao, even if the palace was besieged a few more times, he was extremely willing. Speaking of which, I have to thank my sixth brother at that time. Thinking of Zhao Duo's Yin Heron eyes, the smile on Zhao Yu's lips was a little colder.
After seeing General Xiao and Prime Minister Zheng leave, Zhao Yu returned to the study, and the man who had sent Jing Ning away was already waiting inside.
"Song Yuan, how is the situation in the palace?" Zhao Yu looked at the green bamboo fence outside the window, and his tone made people unable to hear joy and anger.
"The emperor has been serving Long Yan Dan for a long time, although there is no sign on the face, but the toxin has entered the lungs, more than half a month, less than ten days." Song Yuan didn't say what he said later, but Zhao Yu understood it very well in his heart.
"Then it will be set in ten days, and that day is Si'er's birthday."
Song Yuan's expression was a little dazed when he heard this, he looked at Zhao Yu's upright and lonely back, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and persuaded: "She must not want to see you at this time." ”
Zhao Yu's back froze, and the chill around him increased suddenly, but Song Yuan's face was fearless, he had seen Zhao Yu more irritable earlier, it was the month when his Si'er had just passed away.
"Go get ready." Zhao Yu's voice was a little tight, he waved his hand lightly, and the whole person seemed to be tired to the bones, and he didn't have the strength to say a word more. Song Yuan nodded silently and withdrew.
At this time, Jing Ning opened her eyes slowly, and as far as she could see, she was exquisitely arranged, obviously a woman's boudoir. Jing Ning's gaze was confused for a moment, if it weren't for the pain in her wrists and ankles, she would still think that she was still in Zhao Yu's room.
"Awake?" Cai Yashan's face that was a little chilly was reflected in Jing Ning's eyes.
Jing Ning snorted lightly and frowned, looking at Cai Yashan's eyes full of vigilance.
Cai Yashan snorted coldly, and said angrily to the side: "Look, I just said don't save her, you have to pick her up, and you will shake your face when you open your eyes, you really have no conscience." ”
Jing Ning followed Cai Yashan's gaze, and his eyes widened for a moment, it was Zhao Heng, the Fourth Highness. Zhao Heng's face was a little embarrassed, but his gaze at Cai Yashan was full of tenderness. After noticing Jing Ning's gaze, he turned around and said with a little guilt: "Shan'er is talking angrily, young lady don't take it to heart." ”
Jing Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Cai Yashan with some amazement, afraid that she and Zhao Heng had saved herself from fainting on the street, but the impression she left on Jing Ning was too bad, so she had that expression when she saw her.
"Fang is not good for me, Miss Cai should not blame me." Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan with clear eyes, and his tone was very sincere.
Cai Yashan didn't seem to expect Jing Ning's attitude of admitting her mistake so well, she glanced at Jing Ning, snorted lightly and went around Zhao Heng's back, sneaking a few glances at Jing Ning from time to time, and then didn't speak, but obviously she wasn't angry anymore.
Jing Ning couldn't help but chuckle a few times, she only found out today that Cai Yashan's personality also had such a likable side.
"But why did the young lady fall for the butterfly incense?" Zhao Heng asked suspiciously.
Jing Ning frowned, no wonder she didn't feel very clear when she came together this morning, it turned out that she had fallen into the butterfly incense. It was supposed that the palace maid in her palace had mixed in with Zhao Duo's people, and secretly put the spice into the incense burner of her cabinet when she and Wen Xing were not paying attention. The butterfly incense is colorless and tasteless, and it can't be distinguished from other spices at all, so even Luohua didn't notice it.
If she really decided not to participate in the hunting ceremony today, I am afraid that she will inhale more butterfly incense, and I am afraid that she will still be in a coma in Zhao Yu's room at this time.
Thinking of this, Jing Ning couldn't help grinding his teeth, and he couldn't wait to dismantle Zhao Duo in eight pieces. Seeing that her face was not good, Zhao Heng was very interested and didn't ask more, there has always been an undercurrent in this Kyoto, and there has never been a moment of stopping, and he doesn't want to be contaminated.
"There are still people who use such indiscriminate methods! It's shameless! Cai Yashan was angry herself, she originally thought that Jing Ning was just fainting because she was unwell, but at this time, Zhao Heng asked her and realized that it was Butterfly Fragrance.
"But Miss Cai and His Royal Highness are really closely related, if my guess is right, this should be Miss Cai's boudoir, right?" Jing Ning looked around and looked at the two with a smile.
Zhao Heng's face turned red when he heard this, after all, a woman's boudoir is not easy to enter, even if it is a biological father, he has to avoid it a little, and it is indeed a little rude for him to sit there leisurely. Although Cai Yashan was a little embarrassed on her face, she still stared at Jing Ning with wide eyes.
"You have a lot of thoughts, so I just rescued you, and you think about the two of us like this, it's really a wolf's heart!"
"It's because I have a bad mind and misunderstood Miss Cai and His Royal Highness." Although Jing Ning was apologizing, the smile on her lips was a little deeper, and the ridicule in her words was even stronger.
Zhao Heng frowned when he heard this, and just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, he saw Cai Yashan take a step forward, he secretly screamed in his heart, and before he could open his mouth to stop him, he heard Cai Yashan say quite arrogantly: "Since you know that I and Ah Heng are a pair of beautiful people, you don't want to dangle in front of Ah Heng in the future, it's insulting." ”
Zhao Heng sighed, looking helpless, but he didn't say much, just looked at Cai Yashan's delicate face and smiled.
