Jing Ning was slightly stunned, then nodded. The fourth prince Zhao Heng has been frail and sick since birth, when he was five years old, there was a Taoist who came to the palace, I don't know what to say to the emperor, Zhao Heng was sent to the Lingyin Temple to recuperate, and returned to the capital not long ago, but Jing Ning has never seen it.

"My son was poisoned by her when she was born, if she hadn't been sent to the spiritual hidden view, I'm afraid she wouldn't have survived now, although she has saved her life now, but her health has not been good, it is not a sign of longevity, I will have to pay the price!"

Concubine Mei squeezed the teacup in her hand tightly, her fingertips were slightly blue, and her eyes seemed to be a little wet, but more hateful. Jing Ning sighed in his heart, the battle in the harem is often so ruthless, I don't know how lucky it must be for the newborn baby to grow up safely here.

"The queen is indeed vicious, but why do you have to be me?" Although Jing Ning felt pity for Concubine Mei and the four princes in her heart, she still felt that this reason was not enough.

Concubine Mei did not avoid Jing Ning's question when she heard this, she said bluntly: "I don't expect the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to support my son, but I will never allow her son to ascend the throne." ”

Jing Ning suddenly realized that this request was not excessive, the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion had always been loyal to the emperor, and they had never intervened in the battle for the throne between the princes, and their allegiance had always been to the person who sat on the throne.

"The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not interfere in the battle for the throne." Jing Ning's face was indifferent, but he stared at Concubine Mei's face tightly, for fear of missing a subtle expression.

Concubine Mei nodded, revealing a smile: "Then the palace will be relieved." ”

Jing Ning smiled slightly, picked up the teacup that Concubine Mei pushed in front of her and drank it, and agreed to deal with the queen with her. Seeing this, Concubine Mei's smile deepened a little, but Jing Ning had her own plans in her heart.

After sending Concubine Mei away, Jing Ning exhaled lightly, and she called Xiao Yuan in.

"Kite, when you go back, tell Daddy to be careful of the four princes, and don't have any close dealings with him." Jing Ning said with a serious face.

Xiao Yuan nodded, although she didn't know why, she didn't ask more, and left the palace after saying a few more words with Jing Ning.

"Luohua." Jing Ning called softly, and a figure appeared in front of Jing Ning, it was Luo Hua, who had been hiding by Jing Ning's side.

"You go and help me check the four princes and Concubine Mei, these two are not simple." Jing Ning frowned, thinking of Concubine Mei's smile at that time, she couldn't help but shudder. After Luohua received the order, he jumped out of the hall, and Wen Xing on the side looked at Jing Ning worriedly.

Jing Ning took a deep breath, she just said that the General's Mansion would not interfere in the battle for the throne, Concubine Mei did not have the slightest look of surprise on her face, and her eyes were also very flat, as if she already knew this result, so what she said was an excuse, she did not tell Jing Ning her true thoughts, Jing Ning would not easily take risks with the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Five days later, Xiao Rin, who was far away on the border, received a letter from the General's Mansion. After reading the family letter, Xiao Rin had an angry look on his face, and his eyes were full of distress.

He knew that the emperor had always been suspicious of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, but he didn't expect the emperor to put Jing Ning under house arrest as a threat to himself. He can ignore all the things that the emperor did to suppress the second government, but he can't tolerate hurting Jing Ning.

At this time, he was eager to return to the dynasty directly, but the Yi tribe on the border was still eyeing him, and although the Qi army had no intention of attacking again, it was still a threat, and he must not leave at this time.

Xiao Rin sighed, and made an excerpt and sent someone to Kyoto.

At this time, Jing Ning was playing chess with Concubine Mei in the imperial garden. Concubine Mei has been with Jing Ning in recent days, and she does not shy away from the eyes of others at all, nor does she care about the queen's face getting worse day by day.

"The young lady's chess skills are really good." Concubine Mei dropped down and raised her eyes to look at Jing Ning. Jing Ning smiled slightly and said nothing.

At that moment, a clear voice sounded.

"It turns out that the mother concubine is here, and the sons have been looking for it for a long time." The man who spoke was thin and a little sickly pale, but his facial features were extremely delicate, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes was the same as that of Concubine Mei. Jing Ning almost instantly determined that this was the fourth prince, Zhao Heng.

"Why is Heng'er dressed so thin today, what if she catches the cold?" Concubine Mei hurriedly got up and took the cloak on the side and put it on for Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng smiled faintly and said, "Mother don't worry, Erchen's health has improved a lot recently." ”

Jing Ning couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Zhao Heng when he heard this, his health was much better, and he looked sick and sad, so if he was not in good health, wouldn't he even be able to get out of bed? It's really a lingering sickbed.

Zhao Heng looked at Jing Ning, his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Presumably, this is the young lady of the General's Mansion, and she is indeed a beautiful woman." ”

Jing Ning bowed slightly and saluted him, with a polite and polite smile on his face.

"The Four Princes are falsely praised."

Concubine Mei looked at Zhao Heng with a smile on her face, pulled him aside and sat down, her eyes full of pity. Zhao Heng looked at the chess game on the table, took out a word and fell, breaking Jing Ning's game. Seeing this, Jing Ning exclaimed and said, "Your Highness's chess skills are above me." ”

Zhao Heng smiled softly, and there were two blush on his face, as if he was very embarrassed. Jing Ning's gaze softened a little, and such a temperament can only be cultivated by sending it to the Spirit Hidden Concept.

"I said that I couldn't find the young lady anywhere, it turned out that I was playing chess with the Fourth Highness here, and the young lady was really interested."

Jing Ning knew that it was Cai Yashan just by listening to the voice, she frowned slightly, and felt a little impatient in her heart. The four princes' eyebrows flashed with a little displeasure.

Cai Yashan walked up to Concubine Mei and saluted her, and then glanced at Jing Ning. However, her gaze lingered on Zhao Heng's body for a moment. Jing Ning paid attention to Cai Yashan's gaze, and had some doubts in his heart, not long after Zhao Heng returned to the capital, did Cai Yashan know him?

"If Miss Cai is still looking for me for that, please go back." Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan, and her words were unceremoniously. She didn't know why Cai Yashan had to put the responsibility for Lord Cai's illness on herself, it was simply inexplicable.

Cai Yashan's face was slightly gloomy when she heard this, but because of Concubine Mei, she did not directly refute Jing Ning, but pulled out a smile and said: "The young lady misunderstood, I just want to chat with the young lady, Concubine Mei doesn't mind one more person, right?" ”

Concubine Mei chuckled, not showing the slightest displeasure on her face, and she nodded lightly to Cai Yashan. Cai Yashan sat down next to Jing Ning, facing Zhao Heng. Jing Ning quietly observed Cai Yashan, and saw that her gaze at Zhao Heng was a little complicated, as if there was joy and resentment, but it was more of an excitement of reunion after a long absence.
