Zhao Chengyuan left Cining Palace, and did not rush to Qianqing Palace, but stayed in the imperial garden for a quarter of an hour, as if attracted by the scenery in the garden.

And in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Qingming has already gotten the news from Cining Palace.

The secret guard detailed the conversation between the Queen Mother and the King of Jin, and finally said, "It sounds like King Jin is afraid that the Queen Mother will embarrass Princess Jin in the future, so he entered the palace today to pay New Year's greetings and ease the relationship with the Queen Mother." ”

"How could the King of Jin be afraid of the Queen Mother."

Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench, his expression was unpredictable, "He will not act without purpose, what his real intentions are, it's hard to say." ”

The Dark Guard retreated.

Emperor Qingming asked Wu Jian to come in, "Is King Jin here?" ”

Wu Jian bowed and replied, "The little eunuch just came to pay respects, and said that there is a place in the imperial garden where spring flowers are blooming, and King Jin is stopping to admire it." ”

Emperor Qingming glanced at him lightly, "You have been saying good things for King Jin, but you are looking for a way out for yourself?" ”

Wu Jian's voice changed dramatically, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The minions are terrified! The slave is the personal eunuch next to the emperor, and he wants to do everything for the emperor. Whether it is a clan member or a harem, the servants have always been well-intentioned, and they can't let the emperor inadvertently create a gap between them. If you change to other clansmen, the minions will treat each other the same! The emperor is clear! ”

Emperor Qingming lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Jian on the ground.

Thinking about it, he does the same for the clan relatives next to him, the concubines in the harem, no matter their status, he will take care of them verbally.

It's just that when I change to King Jin, I can't help but think about it.

Emperor Qingming raised his hand, "Get up." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Wu Jian kowtowed again, Fang Cheng got up in fear and stepped forward to help Emperor Qingming renew the tea.

After another cup of tea, Zhao Chengyuan came.

Emperor Qingming said, "You have always been lazy, and you don't like to join in the fun, it is rare to come to visit the New Year on the first day of the first month." What, to collect the New Year's money?"

"The younger brother is not here to collect money, but to give gifts." Zhao Chengyuan stepped forward and presented a box in his hand.

Emperor Qingming opened the box, and a fragrance came to his face, and his eyes moved slightly, "Snow Lotus? Looking at the vintage, it is quite large. ”

"At least five hundred years."

Zhao Chengyuan paced to the side and sat down, "Half a year ago, in order to save Youning, my brother collected a lot of snow lotus, thinking that if you can't find a thousand-year-old snow lotus, it will always be useful to use more of the shallow ones." disturbed the imperial sister-in-law last night, and these two snow lotuses should be regarded as the younger brother to make amends to the imperial sister-in-law. ”

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "The culprit of last night's incident is Nanzhang, what are you guilty of?" ”

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Nanzhang is targeting Youning, and Fang caused such a disaster. Although this matter was wrong in Nanzhang, the younger brother was uneasy in his heart, and felt that he should come to compensate the imperial sister-in-law no matter what. ”

"The seventh brother is too worried, the wrong person should bear the consequences, and the innocent person will not be angry for no reason." He glanced at Zhao Chengyuan, "Why, in the eyes of the seventh brother, am I the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong?" ”

Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "The imperial brother doesn't care that the imperial brother is open-minded, but the younger brother can't pretend to be confused." Just like Nanzhang made a mistake, the Duchess of Zhongguo made amends in front of Youning and Princess Chengjun today. ”

"Duchess Chungkook? What did she say? ”

Zhao Chengyuan said, "She said that after the Queen Mother rewarded Youning with the gem head, Nanzhang was jealous and complained that the Queen Mother was too fond of Youning. She didn't expect Nanzhang to have the intention of harming You Ning because of this, and she failed to remind You Ning that it was her fault. ”

Emperor Qingming's eyebrows were slightly loose.

"In this way, Nanzhang harms people, all of them are jealous and hateful, not because they suspect that Princess Jin is harming her."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Duchess Zhongguo woke up the dreamer with a word, presumably the real reason is this." ”

Emperor Qingming bowed, "Nanzhang is spoiled by the queen mother, but whenever someone robs him of something, she can't stand it, and she has to destroy that person." ”

He closed the box, "I have accepted the gift of apology, and I will go to accompany the queen for dinner later, so I will not keep you." ”

Zhao Chengyuan got up, "In this way, don't disturb the imperial brother." ”

"Wu Jian, send King Jin."

Wu Jian should be, bowing down and following behind Zhao Chengyuan.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wu Jian returned.

"Your Majesty, King Jin is out of the palace."

Zhao Chengyuan asked lightly, "What can he say?" ”

Wu Jian didn't dare to hide it, and presented a silver ticket with both hands, "The prince gave the slave a thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked the emperor if you have any dislike for Princess Jin." ”

Emperor Qingming did not collect cash tickets, "King Jin rarely appreciates people's silver, since it is for you, you can accept it." ”

"Your Majesty."

Wu Jian put the silver ticket in his arms, and diligently poured tea for Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "The King of Jin has a deep affection for the Princess of Jin, his New Year's greetings today are fake, and the reconciliation with the Queen Mother is fake, and it is true to help Princess Jin clear up his involvement." ”

Wu Jian bowed and waited aside, scratching his head and wondering, "Your Majesty, you didn't send the princess of Jin, the king of Jin is so worrying, and the slave is stupid, I really can't understand it." ”

Emperor Qingming said, "Today, the Wang family was demoted, and Danyang was stripped of his title, I'm afraid it scared him."

Yesterday, Nanzhang designed to frame Princess Jin because he knew that he had obtained a blood certificate, and Princess Jin was the one who harmed her. If I study it carefully, Princess Jin will harm others first, and I can't get rid of it. He underestimated my anger before, and today he has changed the reason why Nanzhang harmed people, so that I did not have the reason for the princess of Jin. ”

Wu Jian suddenly said, "I see." As soon as the emperor said this, the servants understood. King Jin really loves the princess of Jin. ”

Emperor Qingming looked at the box on the dragon case, took a deep breath, got up and walked out.

"Drive the Kunning Palace."

——

Han Youning stayed in the Chengjun Mansion for nearly an hour, and Lu Rin and Zhao Xiang'er met, and there was nothing else but scolding each other.

By the time they left, Zhao Xiang'er's mood was much better, showing a little reluctance. Lu Rin also said a few words of concern awkwardly, and the joy on Xiang'er's face couldn't be suppressed.

When Han Youning returned home, it was already dark.

Zhao Chengyuan's outer study was lit up.

Han Youning went in and saw Zhao Chengyuan buried in the case, his brows tightened, until she turned into the fan and got up to greet her.

Han Youning looked at him, and the guess in his heart became more and more certain, "Lord Wang, can you ask it?" ”

"Asked."

Zhao Chengyuan took her to the side and sat down on the couch, poured hot tea for her, "Drink tea first to warm up." ”

Han Youning held the tea, sipped it slowly, looked at Zhao Chengyuan, and waited for him to give the answer.

Zhao Chengyuan said, "The Queen Mother appreciated her face twice, both of which were instructed or guided by the emperor. ”

"That's true." Han Youning said, "But if the emperor wants to harm me, why do you have to use these heads?" ”

Zhao Chengyuan said with deep eyes, "I haven't figured this out either. The queen mother originally planned to give it to Nanzhang for these two awards, so it can be seen that the queen mother does not think there is a problem. ”

Han Youning said, "There is one person who may know. ”

"Who?"

"Wang Caidan."

It's still the middle of the night.
