Yi Chenjing was puzzled that Bai Qige had only returned to the Chenxuan after him, and seeing that her face was pale and a little dazed, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Where have you been, have you met someone," grabbed Bai Qige, who hurriedly walked without noticing him in the courtyard, Yi Chenjing's tone was hurried, and his frowning face was full of worry.

This palace is full of crises for her, he can't keep her safe when he is around, not to mention that when he is not around, Bai Qige has a terrible habit, reporting good news but not bad news, and if there are any bad things, he always hides it from him alone, Yi Chenjing has protested against this but is always ignored, and it is inevitable that he will worry a little more.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you when I figure it out." Gently pushing Yi Chenjing's hand away, Bai Qige barely squeezed out a smile, "What about Zhan Ting, why don't you see him,"

"I'm going to pick up Lord Ye and Li'er at the inn. In the future, Fu Chu will stay in the palace, and he can't let the two of them live outside, which is dangerous and no one can take care of them. Slowing down his tone slightly, Yi Chenjing was still worried, "You don't have a good face, what's so serious,"

Bai Qige avoided answering: "Let's go find Fu Chu first, there are some things I still don't understand, let's see what he thinks." ”

It's not easy to pull out what she doesn't want to say from Bai Qige's mouth, Yi Chenjing gave up decisively, anyway, Bai Qige promised him that she didn't intend to hide it, maybe she really didn't have a clue and couldn't talk about it. Habitually holding the palm of the whole circle of him, the slight cool feeling made the late autumn chill deeper, Yi Chenjing sighed and said, "You go and add a piece of clothing first, I'll wait for you here." ”

Yi Chenjing didn't say anything, Bai Qige didn't notice that she was shivering, and the cold after the autumn rain was getting into her clothes and pressing against her skin, as cold as her heart. Nodding and withdrawing from the warm palm, Bai Qige walked towards the bedroom with his arms in his arms, and behind him, Yi Chenjing quietly watched the thin back walk out of the courtyard door, and slammed his fist on the wall on his side.

As a man, he can't even protect the woman he loves, this feeling is extremely wretched.

The Huixi Residence in the corner of the Dust Pavilion has not been inhabited for a long time, and soon after Bai Qige moved to live with Yi Chenjing, Yu Che also lived in the wing, and Fu Chu decided to enter the palace to make the Dust Pavilion clean and use it again. Thinking that Fu Chu was a plain-hearted person, Yi Chenjing specially instructed his subordinates to plant a lot of exotic flowers and plants outside the courtyard of Huixi Residence and opened a small garden in the courtyard, and the entire Huixi Residence was also redecorated with a new look inside and out, and Fu Chu sat in the courtyard and tended to play with flowers and plants, which was not much different from when he was in Xichu.

When Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige arrived at Huixi Residence, Fu Chu was still squatting by the flowers and plants and didn't know what to observe, when he heard the footsteps, he got up and turned around, and his dirty and blank expression made Bai Qige Qige couldn't help laughing, and a rare smile appeared on his bloodless face.

"The emperor and Yi Chenxuan have made some moves recently, I can't see through the stakes, come and ask if you have any ideas." After briefly asking Fu Chu about his recent situation, Bai Qige directly explained his intentions.

"Sister Bai refers to the matter of the five princes' concubines being corrected as concubines, His Royal Highness mentioned it to me yesterday, I thought it was not particularly transparent all night, there were too many people mixed in it, and it was difficult to judge what the purpose of the emperor and the five princes was."

Bai Qige pulled Fu Chu to sit at the stone table in the courtyard, her every move was intimate, she had already noticed the change in Fu Chu, after swearing allegiance that day, Fu Chu no longer called Brother Yi Chenjing as before, but changed his voice to call His Royal Highness, and he always felt a little rusty when he heard it. In fact, this kind of trivial matter Yi Chenjing is more sensitive than Bai Qige, and it is precisely for this matter that he ordered the war court to bring Ye Huawan and Li'er into the palace, he really wanted to keep Fu Chu, the heir of Shen Junfang, for his own use, and Fu Chu did not live up to his expectations, in the analysis and layout of many things, the wide and gentle young man showed a wisdom and strategy far higher than ordinary people, making Yi Chenjing seem to see the shadow of Shen Junfang, the genius national teacher back then.

"I agree with Sister Bai that the emperor doesn't really want to make the fifth prince the crown prince." When it comes to business, Fu Chu's expression is serious and cautious, without the childishness and ignorance of a teenager of the same age, "His Royal Highness has been back in the palace for more than a month, and before the Northern Expedition, the emperor expressed his intention to abdicate after unifying Zhongzhou. As for the crimes of the five princes, they were deliberately ignored by the emperor, and I couldn't understand this for a while, in comparison, it shouldn't be so complicated for the five princes and concubines to suddenly become pregnant, after all, it is ...... It is something that cannot be done by manpower. ”

Bai Qige frowned slightly: "Yi Chenxuan has a habit of breaking her sleeves, listening to Mrs. Qi's meaning, she is just Su Jinyan's stand-in, so Yi Chenxuan has never allowed her to get pregnant." Now that Su Jinyan has rebelled, it is reasonable for the Qi family to be put in the right position, but Yi Chenxuan specially went to the emperor to report this matter, I always feel that it is not so simple. ”

"Because Sister Bai is strange about the five princes' inappropriate behavior, right," as if he had seen through Bai Qige's thoughts, Fu Chu asked lightly.

Bai Qige nodded.

The last time he sneaked into the Yao Xuan Palace, Yi Chenxuan looked very anxious, in this case, where did he get the mood to take care of Mrs. Qi's pregnancy, even if his prodigal son turned around and began to care for the person next to him, what was the need to rush to tell Emperor Yao that he should stay honest just after getting out of house arrest, and such a big fanfare attracted the attention of the entire palace, which did not seem to be of any benefit to Yi Chenxuan.

"You might as well think about it from the fundamental purpose of the five princes." Fu Chu was sitting precariously, quite strategic, "The most anxious thing for the fifth prince now is to let the emperor set the matter of the crown prince to be abolished, so any action he takes will be based on this purpose." Sister Bai, I don't know much about the various rules and habits in the palace, do you know if the pregnancy in the side room of the fifth prince has an impact on the abolition of the crown prince, or what disadvantages it has on the current prince?"

The prince is the prince, Mrs. Qi is Mrs. Qi, no matter what Mrs. Qi's identity is, whether she has children or not, it seems that it has nothing to do with the prince, and there should be no necessary connection between the two. Bai Qige shook his head in confusion: "I can't think of any pros and cons. Chenjing, do you have a clue?"

Yi Chenjing pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked at Bai Qige: "Qige, do you remember the time when your father called you and me to the dormitory before the expedition, what your father said when he left, it may be related if you think about it." ”

"...... before the expedition" has been a long time, and Bai Qige can't completely recall it at once. Frowning and pondering, the memories rushed back like a tide, and returned to the dim room full of false affection, back to the time when she still thought Haruka was a kind father.

As the memory was slowly evoked, through Yi Chenjing's prompting, the important details that Bai Qige had ignored suddenly jumped out of his mind and put them in front of him, at that time, Emperor Yao's did have one thing before the two of them embarked on the road to the north, and that incident had worried Bai Qige for a while, and his good impression of Emperor Yao also began to dissipate from that time.

Emperor Yao said that when Yi Chenjing returned from the victory of the Northern Expedition, he would be crowned the King of Beijing.

"Yi Chenxuan is forcing the emperor to make a decision," a moment of enlightenment, and suddenly realized.

According to the rules in the Yaoguo Palace, once the prince other than the prince has an heir, he will be crowned the king out of the palace, Yi Chenxuan chose to break out of Mrs. Qi's pregnancy at this time The purpose is to test the heart of the Emperor Yao, if Emperor Yao really wants him to succeed to the throne, he must abolish the prince and set up Yi Chenxuan before Mrs. Qi gives birth to a child, if there is another plan...... Then, the Emperor will face a dilemma.

Either he made his intention clear and directly expelled Yi Chenxuan from the palace as the prince, or he continued to maintain an unclear attitude, so that the former dynasty and the harem could still stay in the palace for Yi Chenjing to have an heir, and questioned the old rules that had been circulating for hundreds of years, causing turmoil in the six palaces.

This move fell on the eyes of Emperor Yao.

Xu is Yi Chenjing is familiar with the rules of the palace and has thought of this possibility early, but on the surface, he is not as surprised as Bai Qige. After explaining the situation in detail to Fu Chu, Fu Chu was also amazed by Yi Chenxuan's steady, accurate and ruthless style: "I thought that the fifth prince was just a little vicious, but I didn't expect to have such a deep scheming. Unscrupulous means to achieve the end and good at taking advantage of all favorable conditions, such a person is the most difficult to deal with, I really want to know how the emperor will deal with it. ”

"I don't know what my father is going to do, I just know that Qige's ghost idea has indeed worked." Speculating on Yi Chenxuan's sinister purpose, Yi Chenjing smiled instead.

Fu Chu was at a loss: "What the hell is the idea, the matter of the five princes is related to Sister Bai,"

"It's not more than related, if it weren't for the courage of her to run to the remote hall to stimulate someone, it would probably be calm at this time, where did the father and emperor be persecuted,"

Fu Chu, who was already in the clouds, became more and more confused, looking at Yi Chenjing, his unfathomable expression; Look at Bai Qige again, unfathomable. Anyway, these two people laughed and didn't say anything, and their gentle eyebrows completely ignored the lonely teenager in a few words. With a helpless sigh, Fu Chu pitifully held his chin and tried not to look at the two of them, concentrating on thinking about the puzzle in front of him.

The sunny and calm of the Dust Pavilion did not affect other places, it was also in the Yaoguo Imperial Palace, and the other palace of the prince was much colder.

"I can make you the princess and divorce you at any time, what to do and what not to do, think about it yourself, and if there is a situation similar to last time, it will not be as simple as punishment." The light in the warm bedroom of incense is dim, and the view is blurred by heavy curtains. The cold-faced man walked off the bed while tying his belt, leaving only a weak figure on the couch with the residual smell of **, the curtain was entangled and the clothes were rolled up, and occasionally several bruises and scars appeared on the white skin, and the wheezing woman had numb eyes, as if she had lost all the pain.

If there is a lot of pain, it will become habitual, and despair will become numb in the end, what good chance can a stunning woman from a green building have in her life, and it is already great luck to lie on a gorgeous and luxurious bed like this.

After a long time, she pulled up the brocade jacket and covered her cold skin, and Mrs. Qi crawled to Yi Chenxuan's side wrapped in a quilt, her tone was low and flattering, as always in awe and flattery: "As long as the emperor does not order His Royal Highness to be removed from the palace and crowned the king, then His Highness's crown prince position will be just around the corner." Qiqi didn't dare to become the crown princess or princess, His Royal Highness was willing to let this child be born, even if Qiqi's status as the princess was abolished in the future, it didn't matter......"

Chu Chu's pitiful pleading could not be exchanged for Yi Chenxuan's gentle care, and he sneered, ruthless to the end.

"Whether you can give birth depends on your creation, although the medicine can greatly shorten the pregnancy time, but it is poison after all, and it is not known what monster will land in the end, I don't want to be called the father of the monster." Pulling the belt tightly, the cold feeling of the brocade crossing the palm made Yi Chenxuan couldn't help but think of Bai Qige's eyes, his eyes sank, and his palm pinched Mrs. Qi's smooth shoulder and back, and another bruise and blood stain appeared.

It was disgusting to let a bed plaything give birth to his flesh and bones, but Yi Chenxuan had no choice, he desperately wanted to know whether his father wanted to pass the throne to him or was he perfunctory and confused, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of his near-perfect son.

If it's the latter......
