After Chen Jianjun came back from the Flying Immortal Palace, he locked himself in Xinuan Pavilion, saw no one, and didn't go anywhere. Even the morning pilgrimage was rested for two days.

He saw those people with fear from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the Queen Mother, Jin Ling'er, the crown prince, and the courtiers were all chasing him to collect debts, and they all felt that he was unqualified. No one can appease him, and no one is sorry.

Originally, there was also a Zhang Weizhao, he felt that no matter how others judged him and demanded him harshly, Zhang Weizhao was always stable and peaceful, and he didn't want anything from him. Even if she didn't want to be his concubine, he believed that her heart for him was open and selfless.

As a result, now Zhang Weizhao has become like this, and the reason why she has become like this is directly related to Jin Ling'er, and Jin Ling'er is so domineering because of his connivance.

Zhang Weizhao must hate him now, right? Chen Jianjun shuddered at the thought of this, and just wanted to find a secret space to lock himself in and isolate himself from the world.

But he is the emperor, how can he really be isolated from the world? In the afternoon of this day, he was in a daze in the Xinuan Pavilion when he heard Huaien say outside the door: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to come back to." ”

Chen Jianjun frowned and said, "Didn't you say that if you don't have anything urgent, don't come to disturb me?" ”

Huai En paused for a moment, and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is the imperial concubine who sent someone to deliver the message, please come to Anxi Palace immediately." Something happened to the imperial concubine's family, and after the mother learned the news, she cried so much that she was about to faint. ”

"What? Come in and talk! Chen Jianjun suddenly felt that his head was big.

When Huai En entered the door, Chen Jianjun immediately asked, "You can make it clear, what happened to the imperial concubine's family?" ”

Wynne bowed his head and replied, "The younger brother of the Imperial Concubine Niangniang fell from his horse while drunk yesterday and was seriously injured, and died this morning. My cousin fought with someone in Hualou last night for a fan, and was stabbed several times and killed on the spot, and the murderer escaped without a trace. ”

"How could this happen?" Chen Jianjun held his forehead with his hand.

Wynne was speechless.

"How is the imperial concubine?" Chen Jianjun put down his hand and asked.

"The imperial concubine Niangniang just learned the news in the morning, and she cried in the palace, and now let people come and invite you over." Wynne bowed his head and replied.

Chen Jianjun didn't want to go over. He anxiously hid his hands in his sleeves and twisted them together, only thinking about finding a way to hide from facing the collapsed Jin Ling'er.

However, before he could come up with a solution, there was a noise outside. A little eunuch persuaded in a low voice: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang! Imperial Concubine Niangniang! His Majesty said that whoever came, he would not be seen. Why don't you stop and ...... for a while? ”

But I heard Jin Ling'er's hoarse voice say: "Dog minion! Do you dare to stop this palace? You don't want your head anymore, do you? Come on, pull me down and kill me with a cane! ”

Chen Jianjun couldn't hide, sighed, and said to Huai En: "Open the door and invite the imperial concubine to come in, and everyone else will retreat." ”

Huai En walked out quickly, met Jin Ling'er and said, "The old slave gives the imperial concubine a salute!" Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Xinuan Pavilion, please move. ”

Jin Ling'er flicked her sleeves and went to Xinuan Pavilion.

Jin Ling'er's personal palace maid Onyx was about to follow, but was stopped by Wynne. There were a few palace people next to Onyx who were twisting the little eunuch who had just stopped Jin Ling'er, and Huai En looked at them with a calm face and was silent. Onyx couldn't withstand Wynne's coercion, and turned back and said, "Don't let go yet?" The men let go of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch knew that he had escaped, so he threw himself on his knees and kowtowed in front of Wynne.

Wynne said, "You all go down to the corridor and wait!" ”

Several small eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace all stood under the corridor not far away.

Onyx's people who came from Anxi Palace looked at Huai'en's face, and also bowed their heads and retreated farther away to wait.

As soon as Jin Ling'er entered the door of Xinuan Pavilion, she cried bitterly: "Emperor, you have to call the shots for me!" My two brothers died so miserably, this time you can't indulge the prince anymore, you have to punish him severely to avenge me!" As he spoke, he wanted to pounce on Chen Jianjun.

Chen Jianjun dodged, helped her sit on the soft chair, and said, "What's going on?" I heard that this was all an accident, why did it get to the prince again? ”

"How can there be such a coincidental accident? Not long after the old Taoist priest died, my brother fell from his horse and died, and my cousin was also stabbed to death. It is clear that the prince counted the accounts of Zhang Rongkun's old Taoist priest on the head of my Jin family, and deliberately murdered and took revenge! ”

"Didn't you say that Zhang Rongkun's death had nothing to do with the Jin family? How could the prince deliberately take revenge? Chen Jianjun frowned and asked.

Jin Ling'er originally wanted to say: "Is it okay with my family, or is it the prince's anger?" But after thinking about it, I'm afraid that this matter will be difficult to confuse the past, so I simply uncovered this layer of skin, and everyone tore it up.

So she wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Yes! Zhang Rongkun was burned to death, and my brother and cousin planned it. They're going to do it, and it's not to give me a gas? Who let the crown prince spread rumors behind their backs, saying that I murdered the concubine and the imperial heir, so that the people of the world ridiculed and ridiculed me and the Jin family? They just wanted them to shut up and stop talking about the Jin family, and to teach them a little lesson. ”

Although Chen Jianjun has been protecting the Jin family because of Jin Ling'er, when he heard that the people of the Jin family had opened his mouth and closed his mouth to teach the prince a lesson. Who are they? Dare to teach the prince a lesson! Where to put the Great Yan Imperial Family?

Chen Jianjun was angry in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "If you didn't go to the prince's trouble before, and used Zhang Rongkun to make trouble to ruin the prince's reputation, how could they turn over the things of the past?" The crown prince is abolished, the stakes are very high, I said that you should not interfere, why can't you listen to it at all? ”

"Why did I interfere? Isn't it clear to you? He obviously knew how Ji Lingyun died, and the drama of pretending to be sick and forgetting the past for so many years has coaxed us around. I've been thinking so much since I was a child, and now that I'm older, it's even more amazing. Do you know how many people in the court have privately rumored that the crown prince will definitely be a more competent emperor in the future? Why is there such a statement, and it is not because he has long been eager to replace it? This kind of wolf ambition, you still protect him with all your heart! ”

I have to say that these words hit Chen Jianjun's weakness, his face was pale, and he sat back behind the table without speaking.

"If it weren't for your repeated indulgence of him, how could he dare to be so presumptuous? How could my brother have died so miserably! Jin Ling'er said and began to weep again.

"Alright, don't cry!" Chen Jianjun had a headache. "You go back first, and I'll call the prince over to ask things clearly!"

"What does it mean to ask things clearly? Don't you believe what I'm saying? He murdered my brother this time, and he will murder me directly next time! You don't care about my life or death, do you? Forget it, let me die now. As he spoke, he sat on a chair and slapped the table and cried.

"And what the hell are you going to do?" Chen Jianjun said angrily.

"Waste him! Relegate him to a commoner! Jin Ling'er hated the authenticity. As long as he is no longer the prince, it is not up to her to make the round.

"That's not going to work!" Chen Jianjun refused. Although he was annoyed that the prince's wings were stiff and disobedient, and he was also afraid that the prince would threaten him, but from the perspective of the ancestral foundation, Chen Youcong was indeed an excellent prince, and the cost of abolishing him was too great.

For example, it seems to be peaceful today, but there are constant internal and external troubles. It is precisely in need of a monarch like Chen Youcong who can not only be stable, but also capable of doing things, to develop national strength on the basis of keeping the achievements.

"Good! Good! Jin Ling'er was so angry that her lips trembled: "Then you just wait and see." See how he killed me step by step! You can't remember how his own mother died, but he remembers it clearly. It's not been a day or two since he wanted to seek revenge on me! ”

"With me, no one dares to touch you!" Chen Jianjun said angrily: "Since you are so scared now, why did you want to harm Concubine Ji Shu in the first place?" Although she was named a concubine, can she still surpass you? ”

"Why should I hurt her? Why did I hurt her, you asked? The more Jin Ling'er spoke, the more excited she became: "If she hadn't died, you would have been happy with the family of three a long time ago, and you could still have my place!?" You said she couldn't get past me, yes! She can't surpass me in name, but in reality? After you made her a concubine, how many times did you go to her palace that month? How many times have you been to my Anxi Palace? If she had her, I'm afraid I would have been hung on the shelf of the concubine and made air-dried old bacon to the side, and you could still have me in your eyes? ”

Chen Jianjun wiped his face with his hand and was speechless.

Jin Ling'er continued: "Don't forget that when you watched your uncle and emperor beat people to death, you were so scared that you wet the bed at night, who hugged you to warm up!" When you were starving, who was blind when you were doing needlework, and used it to exchange money for snacks to give you extra food! Who is the one who stays by your side and serves you at the risk of losing your head after everyone else is gone and has fled! I didn't expect my Jin Ling'er to dig out my heart and lungs, and my liver and brain to you, but when I get old, I end up like this! Not only will I have no children and no daughters, but my family will also face extinction. What a life I've ever had! He cried and cried hoarsely.

A passage reminded Chen Jianjun of the past, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get up with Jin Ling'er at this time. He reassured:

"Don't cry yet, watch your body. The matter of abolishing the prince, let me think about it again. ”

Jin Ling'er didn't answer, just mourned and cried. Chen Jianjun sighed for a long time and kept coaxing her.

Jin Ling'er almost fainted from crying. Chen Jianjun summoned Huaien and Onyx and asked them to take a few other palace maids and eunuchs to help the imperial concubine back to the palace to rest.

After Jin Ling'er left, Chen Jianjun collapsed on the chair behind the table, panting.

After a while, Huai En came back to report that the imperial concubine had returned to Anxi Palace, taken the tranquilizer prescribed by the imperial doctor, and lay down to rest. Chen Jianjun let out a long breath and felt a little more relaxed.

Wynne asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the East Warm Pavilion to rest for a while and take a nap?" ”

Chen Jianjun shook his head: "No." After thinking for a while, he said, "Go and call the prince to me, I have something to ask him." ”
