Empress Yue panicked and let go of Emperor Jing's arm, which had become tight due to the exertion.

It turns out that His Majesty already has the heart of the abolished prince.

If this continues, their mother and son will have no hope at all.

Emperor Jing brushed his sleeves up, but was grabbed by Empress Yue.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ling asks to see you."

Kou Huai's voice just interrupted Empress Yue's crying.

"Lin'er is here, does the queen want Lin'er to see your unbearable appearance?"

Emperor Jing had a calm face, and his deep voice carried an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

Seeing that Empress Yue was still clutching it, he roared impatiently, "Don't let go yet!"

Empress Yue hurriedly loosened the hem of Emperor Jing's clothes, and then lifted the hem of her skirt and stroked Emperor Jing's body.

"The concubine retired first."

"If you have the kung fu to come to Tingxuan to intercede, it's better to teach him well. As the saying goes, mothers are more defeated, and you, as a queen, should not be so ignorant. Stand down."

Emperor Jing is not a ruthless person after all.

For Empress Yue and Fu Tingxuan, he still had a trace of pity in his heart.

But after this incident, he also clearly knew that Fu Tingxuan was by no means a person worthy of a great responsibility.

The abolished prince is not a casual remark.

Empress Yue retreated abruptly.

But as soon as he left the hall, he met Fu Xuanlin's eyes.

She immediately put up a shelf, and said with a hypocritical smile, "Lin'er is here, why aren't you busy today?"

"Fortunately, everything in the palace has been taken care of."

"It seems that Lin'er is very handy at organizing a night banquet. However, the predecessors planted trees and the later generations enjoyed the shade, Lin'er should still be humble and respectful, lest others criticize you more."

"The child must remember the earnest teachings of the queen mother."

Empress Yue looked at Fu Xuanlin's respectful and humble appearance, and remembered his arrogant and domineering appearance in the Lizheng Hall that day, and suddenly became angry.

The little evil handicapp, the two faces in front of and behind, no wonder His Majesty can coax him to trust him so much.

"Alright, let's go in."

"Yes, the queen walks slowly."

Fu Xuanlin arched his hand, but the moment he raised his hand, Empress Yue's sharp eyes saw the account book in his hand.

Empress Yue's face suddenly changed drastically.

This is the account book of the night banquet over the years.

Could it be that this obstacle has discovered something?

She watched Fu Xuanlin walk into the Zichen Hall with the account book, and it was obviously too late to stop Fu Xuanlin.

The door of the hall slowly closed, and the figures of Emperor Jing and Fu Xuanlin standing opposite each other in front of him stayed at the moment when the door was closed.

When Emperor Jing saw Fu Xuanlin, his mood was obviously much better.

"Lin'er doesn't need to be polite, give a seat."

"Thank you."

"Lin'er organized an excellent night banquet this time, and everyone in the palace praised it, and I am deeply grateful."

"My son is just imitating precedent, and he doesn't dare to take credit."

Emperor Jing pursed his lips, "Lin'er doesn't have to listen to what the queen says, in previous years, the cost was huge, but there was nothing new in what was done, in the final analysis, the queen was not creative."

"Father, my son is here for this purpose today."

......

An hour later, Fu Xuanlin walked out of the Zichen Palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he heard Emperor Jing say angrily, "Kou Huai! Xuan Honglu Siqing and Peng Shanggong meet you!"

Kou Huai hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave obeys the order."

Fu Xuanlin glanced back at the closed door of the palace and whispered to Kou Huai:

"Father-in-law Kou, my father is furious today, and he must have a fire in his liver and lungs, so he will bother Father-in-law Kou to prepare some chamomile tea for his father."

Kou Huai was surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Ling has a heart, and the old slave immediately ordered someone to prepare some." Chinese Net

The figure he looked at Fu Xuanlin leaving, he was inexplicably relieved.

Fu Xuanlin's leg injury healed

Son, he was always cold and polite to His Majesty.

But now, he took the initiative to care for His Majesty, which is already very commendable.

Kou Huai believes that one day their father and son will untie the knot.

Oh, Honglu Temple Qing Zhen Xun and Peng Shang Palace gathered in the Zichen Palace.

"Zhen Aiqing, Peng Shanggong, do you recognize this account book?"

Emperor Jing handed over the account book to Kou Huai, and Kou Huai walked down the steps with the account book in his hand and handed it to Zhen Xun.

Zhen Xun opened the account book and took a cursory look, and immediately recognized that this was the money account used to organize the night banquet over the years.

He handed the account book to Peng Shanggong again, and Peng Shanggong calmly flipped through a few pages, and then handed it back to Kou Huai.

"How? Do you recognize it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this account book is the account book of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and today His Royal Highness King Ling came to Hongxu Temple to ask for a spare account book, presumably this one."

"There is also a copy of this account book from the Shanggong Bureau, and the minister recognizes it."

Emperor Jing looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "In the past, I left the affairs of the night banquet to the queen, and I never asked about the details, but I only knew that the annual expenses were very large. The two Aiqing assisted the queen from the side, and they must have been clear about the whereabouts of the money. I just happen to have a few questions for the two Aiqing."

"On the 26th day of the seventh month of the year of the Lunar New Year, the cobblestone road was paved in the Henghe Pavilion, and the silver used was 350 taels. What kind of pebbles are worth so much silver?"

Zhen Xun and Peng Shanggong were speechless.

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about last year. On August 19, the envoys of the Henghe Pavilion drank and had fun in the wine shop, and used 500 taels of silver. Even if it's the royal wine in the palace, it can't make so much money."

Emperor Jing saw that the two still didn't say a word, and immediately angrily slapped the dragon case.

"I limit you to calculate all the accounts of the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet in the past ten years within two days, and if there is any mistake, come and see you!"

The two of them immediately said in unison, "Obey the order."

Emperor Jing felt angry and remorseful in his heart, and shook his hand and let the two retreat.

If he hadn't been ambushed back then, he wouldn't have been injured and hid in Peony Village, and he wouldn't have met Yue Linlang.

Canonizing such an insatiable, ruthless, and selfish woman as the queen was the most wrong decision he had made in his life.

It's just that who would have thought that the gentle and simple little girl at the beginning would become what she is now.

Emperor Jing shook his head, his cloudy eyes glowing with a hint of helplessness.

"Your Majesty, this is the chamomile tea that His Royal Highness King Ling ordered the old minister to prepare for you, it is the best thing to reduce the fire and clear the eyes, you can taste it."

"This is what Lin'er ordered you to prepare?"

"Exactly."

"What else did he say?"

Emperor Jing asked eagerly.

But what I saw was Kou Huai shaking his head helplessly.

A hint of loss flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes.

I lowered my eyes and looked at the chamomile tea with a white mist, but I felt very relieved.

"Lin'er has suffered too many grievances over the years, and now she is still willing to care about me, which is already very good."

"His Royal Highness King Ling will understand Your Majesty one day."

"I hope so." Emperor Jing took a sip of chamomile tea, the aftertaste was sweet, and his chest was indeed more comfortable, "Is there anything unusual about the queen?"

"The Yellow Gate sent by the old slave replied that Her Royal Highness the Queen went to the East Palace after staying in the Lizheng Hall for about half an hour, and she has not returned to the Lizheng Palace until now."

"I hope the prince can remember it longer this time."

Emperor Jing still had hopes for Fu Tingxuan.

In the end, it is Emperor Jing's own son, and he has never made any big mistakes, and he will be crowned a prince in the future to spend the rest of his life.

But Empress Yue didn't think so.

She wants her son to inherit you, and she wants all the people of the world to bow down at the feet of their mother and son.

"Concubine Xi, it's none of your business here, go down."

Yue sat on the stool at the back end, one arm propped up on the table, and he put on an expression that looked down on Xi Lian'er.

Xi Li'er lowered her eyebrows and arranged the futon for Fu Tingxuan, and looked at Fu Tingxuan with reluctance.

"Li'er, you just lifted the grounding and took care of the palace for half a day, let's go to the side hall to rest for a while."

"Yes."

Xi Li'er bowed to Fu Tingxuan softly, and then turned to bow to Empress Yue.

"The daughter-in-law will retire first."

Empress Yue's face was long, and she didn't want to say a word to Xi Li'er.

Hearing that the door of the palace was closed, Empress Yue said dissatisfiedly, "Little fox Meizi, what do you like about her?"

Fu Tingxuan leaned against the bed frame, his cheeks were crimson, and his expression was sorrowful, obviously unwilling to answer Empress Yue's question.

"The Queen Mother came to the East Palace today, but what is the matter?"

"If I don't come again, I'm afraid you're going to die in this East Palace!"

"It's just drinking to relieve my sorrows."

"Fu Xuanlin is now in the limelight inside and outside the palace, what's the use of you just drinking to relieve your sorrows?"

"But my father is partial to Fu Xuanlin, and it's useless to fight."

"If you continue to be so decadent, the crown prince will be handed over! His Majesty said that you have made mistakes so far, not only do you not repent, but you also drink heavily in the East Palace every day! It was so unbearable, it really disappointed him! If you continue like this, Your Majesty will depose you as the crown prince!"

Empress Yue was really angry, and simply told Emperor Jing's words today to Fu Tingxuan word for word.

But Fu Tingxuan smiled bitterly as if he had expected it:

"Mother, can't you see it? In my father's heart, only Fu Xuanlin is the most perfect son in his heart, and I am just his second choice."

"Your father has never been able to let go of Bai Rongyue's *** in his heart, and naturally he feels more sorry for Bai Rongyue's son, but no matter how much your father and emperor do, he will never hand over the thousands of miles of hard work to a prince whose background is unknown."

"What does the queen mean?"

"Hmph, as long as it is confirmed that Fu Xuanlin is not His Majesty's biological son, His Majesty will not be able to canonize Fu Xuanlin as the prince."

Empress Yue smiled slyly, and all the conspiracy and calculations were written on her face.

And she would never have thought that Zhan Xinglan had already predicted her conspiracy.

In the evening, Zhan Xinglan woke up from his sleep.

"Sure enough, I slept comfortably in my own bed! Well...... I've slept enough."

Zhan Xinglan stretched out his arms and stretched his back, this sleep was too comfortable.

She turned her head to look at the empty dormitory, and suddenly felt a little lost.

Fu Xuanlin hasn't come back yet.

"Zhu Huan."

Zhan Xinglan lifted the warm and comfortable quilt and pulled her legs on the edge of the bed.

The door opened, and Zhu Huan walked in with a basin of warm water.

"The princess is awake, and the maid will dress up for you."

"Dressing? Isn't it all evening? Why do you need to make up?"

"Of course, not only to dress up, but also to dress up beautifully, this is specially ordered by His Highness."

Zhan Xinglan blinked his eyes, which were still a little confused.

She vaguely remembered that Fu Xuanlin said before leaving that he would take her to a place at night.

"Did the prince say that he was going to take me somewhere?"

Zhu Huan's action of cleaning up the bed stopped, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "This Baili Dianjun has never told the servant, so he must not know."

"It seems that the Baili Dian Army knows everything about us Zhu Huan."

Zhan Xinglan smiled and put a pair of slender jade hands into the warm water sprinkled with flower petals, the soft water wrapped his hands, and the petals floated up and down with the water and stuck to his forearm.

"The princess made fun of her servant again."

Zhu Huan's cheeks flushed, and he hung his head and handed the clean handkerchief to Zhan Xinglan with both hands.

"Silly girl, I'm happy for you."

Zhan Xinglan smiled softly, took the handkerchief and gently wiped the water stains on his face and hands.

"But after all, this is a big life

I regard you as a sister, and I have to take good care of you. Later, I'll find some time with Bailimo to have a good chat, and if he can get over me, I'll agree to you being together."

"Thank you, princess, you treat your maid so well."

Zhu Huan looked at Zhan Xinglan happily and gratefully.

"Sit down, the maid will dress you up, tonight is also a very special day for you."
