The emperor was already very sad because of the death of Concubine De, and when he heard Qi Xiangtian fanning the flames, he had to give an explanation to the people, so he issued an edict on the spot.

"Ruxian King Qi Junqing did not do well, failed to protect the royal family, due to your negligence caused the death of Concubine De, now remove you from all official positions, and retain the title of King Ruxian." After speaking, Xiao Xizi helped him get into the carriage and returned to the palace.

Qi Xiangtian followed behind, and before leaving, he left Qi Junqing with a look, some warnings, some ridicule, and some falling into the well. "I know that he is uneasy and kind, and this matter must have nothing to do with him." Jiang Youjing complained indignantly.

"It's okay, I'm at ease without official business, and I can accompany you at home." Qi Junqing touched his head and smiled softly at her.

"So that's it? Be a scapegoat for no reason. "Jiang and Jing are uneven." It's okay, let's talk about this later, now the emperor is still so sad and can't be stimulated anymore. Qi Junqing comforted her gently.

"Hurry back, you're wet, go back and change your clothes." urged him to go to the prince's mansion. Qi Junqing protected her belly all the way, and he had never seen him so careful.

"Oops, I'm fine, it's only been a few months, it's not time to give birth yet, don't be so nervous." Funny looked at the cautious man in front of him. raised his head and smiled at her embarrassedly: "That's not good, you have to be well protected." ”

In the days when he was dismissed, Qi Junqing accompanied Jiang and Jing at home every day, and the two read together, wrote poems, and did some paintings. Every afternoon, I go for a walk in the bamboo forest and play the piano.

One day, Jiang Youjing played a song about Sky City on the pipa for Qi Junqing to hear. "What kind of tune is this, so ethereal, why have I never heard you play?" Qi Junqing asked curiously

"Sky City, of course you haven't heard of it, I'm the only one who can play it, and it's the first time I've played it today." Jiang Youjing explained arrogantly. "Well, good name, in line with the temperament of this tune. But you're not alone. ”

After appreciating this tune, Qi Junqing picked up the flute and blew down the complete note of the sky city just now, this ethereal tune with the tone of the flute has a unique flavor, Jiang Youjing was deeply immersed in such a beautiful tune.

"Wow, the prince is so powerful." Jiang Youjing applauded excitedly. Suddenly praised, Qi Junqing smiled shyly, and then said to her evilly: "That's, don't look at whose man it is." "A look of arrogance.

Jiang Xian learned that Jiang Youjing was pregnant, and she was secretly angry in her heart. That woman, why does she want the wind to be rainy, her luck is always so good, and now she is actually pregnant with Qi Junqing's child.

"No, I can't give birth to her baby." Jiang Xian secretly made up her mind. I already have a plan in mind. She specially made a box of osmanthus cakes with her own hands.

Early the next morning, she came to the prince's mansion with osmanthus cake. When he came to Jiang Youjing's room, he said with a smile: "Sister, the osmanthus cake I made last night, you know, the osmanthus cake I made was passed on by my mother." ”

Looking at the osmanthus cake with musk inside, she smiled maliciously. "Sister bothered, I just had breakfast, you can put it there first." Jiang Youjing said politely.

Jiang Xian couldn't say anything when she heard Jiang Youjing's prevarication, but in order to make sure that she could eat these osmanthus cakes with peace of mind, she deliberately apologized humbly: "Sister, I used to be bad and caused you so much trouble, and I hope you don't worry about me in my grade and father's face." ”

Pretending to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, Jiang Xian asked for her forgiveness with a guilty face. Looking at the sincerity on her face, Jiang Youjing was moved by her, and hurriedly took her hand: "How come, you are my own sister, as long as you know your mistakes, you will change them, I don't care about the past, as long as you become very soft in the future, do things well, and be a good person, the previous things will be written off." ”

Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, looking at Jiang Youjing's tolerant face, Jiang Xian secretly laughed at her in her heart: Silly woman, you believe these words. But he said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely change it." These osmanthus cakes are my heart, you must remember to eat them. ”

"Yes, I'll eat it in a while, I can't eat it just after breakfast." Jiang Youjing smiled happily, seeing Jiang Xian so sensible, she was really happy for her. "Then I won't bother my sister, you take care of it at home, I'll go back first." When the goal was achieved, Jiang Xian was in a hurry to go back.

Jiang Youjing sent the maid to bring her back some snacks from the house, and personally sent her out of the door. Jiang and Jing naively thought that there was no longer any suspicion in the hearts of the two of them, and Jiang Xian would really be a good person.

When she returned to the bedroom, Miao'er came over and whispered to her in her ear, "There is something wrong with the osmanthus cake sent by the second lady." Jiang Youjing thought that Miao'er had a prejudice against her and deliberately said this. So he pretended to be angry and said, "I have reconciled with Jiang Xian now, Miao'er, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Miao'er didn't dare, but there was really something wrong with this osmanthus cake. Not only did it smell the aroma of osmanthus, but I also smelled the musk. The prince has ordered, I will personally inspect your food, so I paid attention to the osmanthus cake brought by the second lady. Miao'er said aggrievedly.

"How could it be, was what Jiang Xian said just now lying to me? Miao'er, you call our best cook over and let her discern it. "Jiang Youjing is unbelievable, is she too kind? She asked herself in her heart.

"Madam, this does contain musk, and the amount is very large, if you eat the little prince, you will not be guaranteed." Hua Ma said confidently. "Did you really not check wrong? You're sniffing. Jiang Youjing still couldn't believe it.

"Madam, I have been cooking in the prince's mansion for more than ten years, it was the cook who was personally given to the prince by the emperor himself, it can't be wrong, it contains a lot of musk, and it is covered with osmanthus essence, Miss Miao'er's sense of smell is still good, and ordinary people can't smell it." Mother Hua said firmly.

"How can this be, Jiang Xian, you actually hit the abacus on my unborn child, I hate you." Tears flowed down her eyes as she spoke, not only because she was angry that Jiang Xian was so vicious, but also because she was angry that Jiang Xian lied to her feelings.

Recently, a large number of concubines in the palace have died, and funerals are held every day in the palace, which makes people panic. Qi Junqing was also called to the palace to investigate this matter thoroughly.

At night, Qi Junqing dragged his tired body back to the palace. Jiang Youjing hurriedly brought him soothing tea. "Tired, take a good rest, will you still use it tomorrow?" Qi Junqing took her hand and stroked it gently.

Every time I am particularly tired, I don't feel very tired when I hold her hand. The exhaustion immediately decreased a lot. "It's okay, I'm not tired, there's still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with, and we have to go tomorrow." Qi Junqing comforted her.

While helping him rub his temples, he complained unevenly: "The emperor is too, he has been dismissed and has come to let you deal with this matter." "It's okay, those who are capable work harder, doesn't that mean that I am capable." Qi Junqing said with a smile at her.

"Have you found out what the reason for this incident is?" Jiang Youjing asked curiously. "First of all, the concubines who had no status and rights in the palace were killed one after another, and they all died suddenly, leaving no last words, not like suicide, and then many ministers were also killed." Qi Junqing said logically and clearly.

"So, who did it?" Jiang Youjing became interested and urged him. "Although the concubines died innocently, and the emperor would not care if they had no status, almost all the killed ministers had a holiday with Qi Xiangtian." Qi Jun analyzed calmly.

"What? How bold is he? And the emperor is too unkind, although she is a concubine, she is also a fresh life. Surprised, but also upset for those concubines.

"The emperor's family has to be in love, or I'm good, right, I only love you." Qi Junqing held her hand and said sweet love words to the people behind her.

Early the next morning, I arrived at the palace. The emperor made a straight face and asked Qi Junqing: "You said that Concubine De's death has nothing to do with you, what about the death of these ministers and concubines?" Qi Junqing didn't know, so he looked at him with a confused face.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you're talking about." I had to tell the truth that I didn't know anything. "You really don't know?" The emperor looked at him with disdain.

"I don't know, please ask the emperor for guidance." Qi Junqing was wronged for no reason, and he was also very unhappy. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the confusion in the tone of his voice.

"Okay, then I'll ask you. Is this jade pendant yours? After you left the palace yesterday, a minister died, and the time coincided with the time it took you to walk from the palace to his palace, and this is the jade pendant you brought with you when you came to see me yesterday, but you didn't bring it today, how can you trust you? The emperor questioned him with a jade pendant.

Qi Junqing knew that it was useless for him to defend now, it seemed that someone had deliberately framed him, Qi Xiangtian was so deep in the city. He thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, the jade pendant is indeed mine, this jade pendant is not worth any money, so I don't care if it is lost or not, if it wasn't shown to me today, I really didn't know that my jade pendant was lost, I didn't harm them, it's useless to say so much now, and when the water comes out, I want to find out if the person is really killed by me, let you fall." Qi Junqing said to the emperor in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.

"I know your heart isn't bad. But I will definitely find out about this matter, and whoever the murderer is will be severely punished. "The emperor looked firm." Your Majesty, too many things have happened recently, and it just so happens that Western Xia is coming, so I invite Ying to go to the battle, and it will not be too late for you to summon me back when the matter is found out. "Qi Junqing really didn't want to intrigue with Qi Xiangtian here, so he took the initiative to ask for his life to go to the border.
