admiration

Over the years, members of the Nie family have also delivered letters to Concubine Jing, mentioning that they wanted to help Zhu Qiming, but she rejected it on the grounds that Zhu Qiming was young. If Zhu Qiming hadn't gone to look for them personally, they would still be kept in the dark by Concubine Jing. in the drum.

Concubine Jing's behavior made Zhu Qiming and the Nie family puzzled. If she was timid, she was able to step up to the current position of concubine step by step, and gave birth to the eldest prince safely in the midst of intrigues. Her courage is comparable to that of others. There is another plan, she only has one prince under her knees, and if she doesn't plan for Zhu Qiming, is it possible to assist a bloodless Mo Yichi to take the throne?All kinds of reasons are unreasonable.

The Nie family had previously said that Zhu Qiming should wait and see what happened. After all, Concubine Jing relied on Emperor Hongzhi, and even the Nie family could do nothing to her.

It's just that what Concubine Jing did this time was shocking, and Zhu Qiming didn't want to ask her face to face, so he could only go to the Nie family to discuss it.

General Dingyuan's name was Nie Cheng. As soon as he came back from the army, the servants of the mansion hurriedly reported the matter, and he was so scared that he even dropped the sword in his hand.

Nie Cheng asked the young man to find pens and ink, and wrote a letter to the eldest prince. Unexpectedly, he just accepted the pen, and the guards outside came to announce that the eldest prince had arrived.

When Zhu Qiming came last time, he said that the Nie family might have Concubine Jing's eyeliner, and asked Nie Cheng to pay attention to it. Nie Cheng didn't take it seriously at first, but now he has to guard against it.He asked the guards to lead him to a pavilion in the side courtyard, and ran over by himself.

Zhu Qiming waited there anxiously. When he saw Nie Cheng running towards him, he stepped forward to hold him back and refused to let him salute.

"I know, alas, Qing'er is so ignorant." Nie Cheng was extremely annoyed, but Concubine Jing was in the deep palace, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't make a post to enter the palace and have a meal.

Zhu Qiming said dissatisfiedly: "The concubine mother keeps saying that she is a counselor for the king, but in the past few years, she has not helped the king except to make the position of imperial concubine more stable. Today's move is even more chilling. "

Nie Cheng was eager to protect his daughter, "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe the imperial concubine has other plans. I will find a chance to talk to the imperial concubine later."

"Alright, if the concubine mother insists on going her own way, the king will have to rely on his grandparents in the future."

Zhu Qiming has been taught by Concubine Jing for many years, and there are many bloodstained hands on his hands. For his big plan, everything can be abandoned.

Nie Cheng didn't know the royal family's ruthlessness, he could only lament the actions of Concubine Jing, and on the other hand comforted Zhu Qiming: "Yes. Don't worry, Your Highness. The matter has not been clarified yet. Don't hurt the harmony of your mother and child." yes."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhu Qiming's eyes. He and Concubine Jing had never had the so-called kindness.It doesn't matter if other people don't know, he has been scolded since he was a child, how could he not know the disgust in those eyes.

Nie Cheng dissuaded him a little bit, not wanting Zhu Qiming to complain about Concubine Jing, so he asked about other things, "It is rumored that His Highness is very close to the champion of the new department, is this true?"

"This is something that my king sent people to spread. If Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi were at odds, he would have to rely on me because of the rumors. If the two had known each other for a long time, there would be a thorn in Mo Yichi's heart." " Zhu Qiming said.

Nie Cheng nodded in agreement, "This method is not bad. It's just that His Highness is currently employing people, so you can't just stare at a champion."

"This king naturally knows that the second place has been taken under his command, and there is only Tanhua left."

Zhu Qiming paused for a moment, remembering what his staff said when they came back, he had great ambitions during the night of Tanhuajiang, and he was not as eager for utilitarianism as Qin Huilan, but he was a useful talent.

Seeing that the eldest prince had a plan in mind, Nie Cheng also relaxed.Now that the Nie family power is in power, with endless power in their hands, it seems to be extremely beautiful, but in the past two years, Emperor Hongzhi has been beating them both openly and secretly, and there is a faint intention to take back his military power.

No matter how powerful a family is, if it has no real power, it will be easily overthrown in the torrent of dynasty replacement.The Nie family has been a century-old family, so naturally they can't decline because of this. Nie Cheng has to put his hope on the future prince, and this prince must be Zhu Qiming.

Thinking of this, Nie Cheng couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

What Zhu Qiming can find out, Wei Ling will naturally be able to. When he arrived at Nie's house, Xing Yan also sent the news to Xiao Zhijin.

Originally, Xing Yan went to Zhuangyuan's mansion, and when he saw that he was not there, he asked, and only then did he know that the guy went to find the second prince.

When Xing Yan arrived at the second prince's mansion, the two were chatting and laughing, very happy, Xiao Zhijin's hand was still on Mo Yichi's shoulder, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness.

After Xing Yan cursed in a low voice, "Dog Man Man", he climbed the window and entered the room.When Xiao Zhi heard the sound, he immediately protected Mo Yanchi behind his back, and slipped out two silver needles from his sleeve.

Seeing this, Xing Yan hurriedly tore off the white gauze covering his face, and said, "Master, it's me!"

Mo Yanchi fixed his eyes, stood up and said, "It's you!"

Xiao Zhijin took back the silver needle, turned his head and asked Mo Yanchi: "Do you know each other?"

Xing Yan: "..."

Mo Yanchi said: "A few days ago he gave me medicine."

After Xiao Zhi heard the words, he remembered that he had asked Xing Yan to deliver the medicine. He glanced at it and said, "Why did you remember to wear a veil today?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that if you're not here, I will reveal my identity." Xing Yan smiled, and before Xiao Zhijin could speak, he got up and walked over.

At this time, Xing Yan would deliberately rush to the second prince's mansion to find someone, he must have something to say, Xiao Zhijuan said: "But something?"

Xing Yan motioned to Mo Yanchi who was present, but still did not speak.Xiao Zhi knew it all: "It's nothing, let's talk."

Xing Yan was speechless, Xiao Zhi was hopeless.

"The news came from the palace just now that Concubine Jing took the initiative to find Emperor Hongzhi and let His Royal Highness the Second Prince enter the court."

"It turned out to be her?" Xiao Zhijin was quite surprised, and asked again: "Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know. It seems that it was decided overnight, even the eldest prince was kept in the dark." Xing Yan said.

Mo Yanchi listened to it from the sidelines, also in amazement.

Concubine Jing's actions are jaw-dropping. No one knows this woman's plan, but she has to lead her away. It's like an intricate game of chess. She is the one behind the scenes, and she counts every move clearly.

"This matter is really strange." Mo Yanchi said.

After Xing Yan reported the matter, seeing that Xiao Zhijin didn't give any further instructions, he left knowingly. Before leaving, he turned around and saw that the two of them were talking together, and their teeth were sore.

Mo Yichi knows the ruthlessness of the people in the palace the most. Brothers can turn against each other and kill each other, so why not be a mother and son, he said: "If Zhu Qiming really didn't know, we can take this opportunity to let him and Concubine Jing centrifugal."

Concubine Jing's talents spread all over the capital when she was young, and her strategy is as good as that of men. If Zhu Qiming is separated from her, it will be like losing an arm, which is not a bad thing for them.

Xiao Zhijin nodded, quite agreeing.

Mo Yanchi said again: "However, if the two of them turn against each other because of this, it's still a short shot."

"what?"

"Zhu Qiming can't be provoked. If someone speaks to him now, the matter will get twice the result with half the effort." Mo Yanchi had been in the palace for three years and did not seek power for himself, but he knew the temperament of the people in the palace very well.

Xiao Zhijuan heard the words and said with a smile: "It's easy to handle, just to help her."

"Who?" Mo Yanchi asked.

"Jiang Zhiwan."

Mentioning this person, Mo Yanchi suddenly remembered the sinister face at the Luming Banquet, he frowned displeased, and said, "This person...are you familiar with him?"

Xiao Zhijin nodded, "Well, she has taken care of you a lot these past few years, what's the matter?"

Mo Yanchi shook his head, hesitated, and told Xiao Zhijin what he saw that day.

Xiao Zhijin was thoughtful, and said: "Perhaps, the person she is looking at is not me, but...Zhu Qiming."

Mo Yanchi couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Does he have enmity with Zhu Qiming?"

Xiao Zhi did not dare to speak nonsense, but judging from this matter and Jiang Wan's plan to become the eldest prince's aide, it might not be far from the answer she was looking for.

Jiang Wan's identity was too sensitive, Xiao Zhi was afraid of being blamed afterwards, so he didn't tell Mo Yichi, and explained: "This matter is too complicated, but don't worry about Jiang Zhiwan, I trust her."

With Xiao Zhijin's guarantee, Mo Yichi couldn't rest assured, after all, it was Xiao Zhijin, not him, who had been with Jiang Wan day and night for the past three years.No matter what the reason is, it is not enough to convince Mo Yanchi completely.

Xiao Zhijin stayed at Mo Yanchi's residence for a whole day, and when it was getting dark, he reluctantly opened the window and left.

Ye Min, who had been guarding the door for a whole day, cried out incessantly. He dared to enter the house only after he knew that the person had left. He asked in a mysterious and low voice, "Your Highness, how did you become friends with the number one scholar?"

"By chance." Mo Yanchi said.

Ye Min's expression was obscure, he was stunned for a while, and finally he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Mo Yanchi said, "You don't have to worry, in the future the First Prince... I'm afraid he won't care about bullying me."

Ye Min just smiled, but he didn't know that in the future they would no longer face the painless whipping or other punishments, but real swords and guns, which endangered their lives.

After Xiao Zhijin returned to the mansion and asked someone to write a letter to Jiang Wan, facing the deserted mansion, he felt sad.It was clearly decorated more luxuriously than the Second Prince's Mansion, but he felt that it was the only place where it was popular.

He stared at the wall for a long time, then got up suddenly, called for the hidden guards, and said, "Go and tell the Second Prince that the Zhuangyuan Mansion was attacked by assassins, and the situation is urgent, so he must come here."

The dark guards sensed the surroundings. There were General Wei Ling on the roof, on the beams and in the grass outside. The Zhuangyuan Mansion was very safe. Where did the assassins come from?

"...Yes." Master's order, just obey.

Xiao Zhi saw the hidden guard leave with all his eyes, sat in the room and waited slowly, when the time was almost up, he got up and overturned the candlestick.

Seeing this, the guard on Liangshang fled away expressionlessly, and continued to watch from another place.

Not long after, the Zhuangyuan Mansion was full of chaos.

As soon as Mo Yanchi got out of the carriage, he saw the scene of flames rising into the sky, his expression became concentrated, and he rushed in.

Xiao Zhi waited behind the door as early as possible, and when he saw someone coming, he said in surprise: "Your Highness, Second Prince, why are you here?"
