"Princess, Zhao Lin is the eldest grandson, and he will take over the entire family in the future, and he has had high hopes since he was a child. People thought that I was like a gentleman all day long, but who would have known that my grandfather disciplined me strictly, and began to study political affairs at a very young age. ”

"Proud of everything, not only because I, Zhao Lin, have such capital, but also because I have seen through those hypocrites who are looking for opportunities to step into the threshold of Zhao Mansion to seek refuge since I was a child."

"For the sake of fame and fortune, unscrupulous means, tending to be inflammatory, people's hearts are like this, Zhao Lin is naturally disgusted."

In Hexuan's mind, he repeatedly replayed the words that Zhao Lin, who was a little drunk, after the birthday banquet that day, met with her in the corner of Zhaohua Palace.

"But you're not like them. You are kind, you are brave, and you are willing to throw your olive branch to those innocent and weak. You even have some means to get to your ends. ”

"Those people are for profit, and you are different from them."

This sentence is like a spell, piercing and revealing the softest place in his heart over and over again. She couldn't help but ask herself, was she really as good as he said she was?

Many things happened after being born again, and she remembered:

Hilly spring hunting, she didn't want the straw bag brother to inherit the throne, and conspired with her cousin Cai Wenxuan to trap the prince, causing the prince and the three princes to turn against each other.

Concubine Lian's poisoning, the secret she inadvertently discovered, saved the lives of Qi Xiuyi and the Eighth Prince.

rescued Jiang Wanrong several times, because when she saw her, she thought of herself in her previous life.

proposed to open a unified harem school, she thought that all princes and princesses could get equal opportunities to study, so that the Great Zhou would not be destroyed.

Outside the palace, Lebin Building was secretly opened in order to raise money and protect himself in the harem.

But she didn't do everything, she also tried to save the people in the Oriental Contouring and Contouring Palace, but the result was in vain.

Thinking of Zhao Lin's seductive eyes, he looked at her affectionately, and said softly, "Under the cold appearance, there is a warm heart, is the princess willing to accept it?" Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hard heart was about to melt.

"Princess," Qing'er stumbled into the side hall of Hexuan, and before she could salute, she said, "Princess, the slave maid just heard about a big event, Concubine Zhong Shu is suspected of murdering the imperial heir, and has been grounded by His Majesty. ”

He Xuan immediately came back to his senses, put down the jade carving he was playing with, and asked, "What did you say?" Speak slowly, speak clearly! ”

"No. The palace people were all talking, saying that early this morning, Xu Jieyu rushed to cry in front of His Majesty, saying that she was almost killed by Concubine Zhong Shu. Qing'er said eloquently, "It is said that Concubine Zhong Shu gave Xu Jieyu a pair of beautiful landscape screens a few days ago. After that, Xu Jieyu turned pale for several days, was restless, and couldn't sleep steadily. ”

"And then?" He Xuan frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked.

"Xu Jieyu saw the doctor, and the doctor said that there were signs of musk in her body."

"Musk? Is it the thing that is taken from the animal's body that exudes a strange fragrance and is worth a thousand gold? He Xuan lowered his eyes and muttered, "If you are pregnant, you can't touch musk, otherwise you will slip and fall red." ”

"How does the princess know?" Qing'er asked casually, and seeing that He Xuan didn't mean to answer, she continued: "Xu Jieyu checked all the food and clothing utensils in the palace, but found nothing. Finally set his eyes on the screen, who expected that the imperial doctor checked and found that the screen had been soaked in musk. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" He Xuan sighed, the means in the harem, the woman's mind, is really unguardable.

Qing'er nodded without thinking and said, "Yes, this thing is indeed strange. The screen was given by Concubine Zhong Shu, and Xu Jieyu naturally suspected Concubine Zhong Shu's head. Xu Jieyu sued in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty loved Xu Jieyu and the flesh and blood in her womb, and immediately issued an order to let Concubine Zhong Shu be grounded and meditate on her own mistakes. ”

"In this way, Concubine Zhong Shu was grounded without having a chance to argue in front of her father?" He Xuan frowned, and thought about it: "It seems that the father is angry, otherwise as the head of Concubine Zhongshu's nine concubines, he should always be given a chance to face the saint." ”

"The slave and maid do not know. I heard that Xu Jieyu was also frightened, and asked the imperial doctor to check the large and small supplies in the palace, and the diet was even more important to the imperial doctor's eyes before she dared to eat it. Qing'er said, with some worry on her face.

Xu Jieyu has a gentle temperament, she has been in the palace for many years, and only Wen Ying, a princess who is not very favored, is still called by Tianwei as a follower. This time she finally conceived a child, and almost lost the fetus, she must be extra careful in the future. He Xuan seemed to be overly cautious about Xu Jieyu, full of sympathy and understanding.

However, He Xuan changed his words and said: "It's just that I don't understand, Concubine Zhong and Xu Jieyu have no grievances. Concubine Zhong Shu is the head of the nine concubines, the granddaughter of Da Situ Zhongbo, who is of noble birth and has three princes, Ji Min, why do you want to harm her? ”

"The princess got to the point. The slave maid listened to the discussion of the palace people, saying that Xu Jieyu was not feeling well when she was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden one day, and she was too anxious when she returned to the palace, so she collided with Concubine Zhong Shu. Concubine Zhong's temperament, the princess knows, saying that she holds a grudge because of this. When she said the last sentence, Qing'er deliberately lowered her voice.

"Concubine Zhong Shu is used to climbing high and stepping on the bottom, and the third prince Ji Min's temperament is exactly the same as her." He Xuan said coldly, snorted lightly, and said: "This can also make sense, Xu Jieyu's identity is low, where can she look down on her." ”

Qing'er didn't dare to talk about the harem concubines, so she stood there and resisted the urge to speak.

At this time, Ruolan happened to walk in, looking like a dusty man, and went straight to Hexuan.

"Did the princess hear about Xu Jieyu?" Ruolan just stood still, saluted, and blurted out a question.

Qing'er said with a smile: "Ruolan, I just told the princess, you're late!" ”

In the face of Qing'er's joke, Ruolan's anxious face did not change, rubbing a handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Do you remember that the princess once ordered the slaves and maids to install their own eyeliner in the palaces?" ”

"Of course, isn't this what Lebin Building opened?" He Xuan asked rhetorically with some puzzlement.

Ruolan lowered her eyes, her hand rubbing the silk handkerchief was a little red, and she lowered her voice and said, "Yes, there are also princesses in Zhao's harem." Just now, I had an eyeliner to report to the slave maid, which was about Xu Jieyu's attempted pregnancy. The content is very different from what the palace people have passed on. The slave and maid were not sure if this news was true, and they didn't know whether to tell it or not. ”

"Oh?" He Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you find out from Empress Zhao?" ”

Ruolan was a little jealous, tiptoed to Hexuan's side, and whispered to her for a while, even Qing'er, who was standing next to her, didn't hear what Ruolan said.

"I see!" After hearing this, He Xuan looked into the distance with deep eyes, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth.
