Jingyuan told Xiao Ji that Jingyue was about to launch a mutiny, and the time can be determined to be before the 27th of this month, but no one knows the exact date, and it can only be counted as a day.

In the past, when Jing Yuan accompanied Xiao Jining to dinner, he could joke that he was here to test for poison, but now, as long as it is imported by Xiao Jining, even a cup of tea must be tested for poison by a special person.

But even so, Jing Yuan would let Jiang Yunzhe come into the palace every three days to check Xiao Jining's pulse, and at the Imperial Hospital, Tan Qingxuan's father also increased the frequency of checking Ping'an's pulse from once a week to once a day.

Jing Yuan also specifically told Xiao Jining that no matter how greedy he is, he can't eat anything except the food presented by the people of the Golden Dragon Palace after a drug test.

Everyone was so careful because they were afraid that Xiao Ji Ning would be poisoned by someone inadvertently - last time the concubine Xian's poison failed to kill him, this time it's hard to say.

Although Xiao Jining didn't feel that Jingyuan was too nervous to do this, he couldn't help but said: "I only eat food from the Golden Dragon Palace now, and the whole palace of the Golden Dragon Palace is my or yours. It's impossible for me to poison me like this, right?"

"It's hard to say." At that time, Jing Yuan was helping Xiao Jining taste today's lunch, and he would let Xiao Jining use his chopsticks only after he had tried every dish, "There are poison masters around Concubine Zhen, and Jiang Yunzhe said that person's poison skills can be compared with He's shoulder to shoulder."

"Then you still help me test the poison?" Xiao Jining was worried when he saw Jing Yuan helping him test the dishes, "Didn't I just tell you last time?"

Seeing that Xiao Jining was so anxious that he felt aggrieved, Jing Yuan laughed dumbly and said, "Didn't I tell you the same thing last time? I'm not afraid of poison."

Seeing that Jing Yuan didn't seem to be lying to him, Xiao Jining said in a low voice: "I... I thought you were coaxing me, you can't be immune to all kinds of poisons, right?"

"It's not invulnerable to all poisons, but it's almost the same." After Jingyuan finished trying the dishes, he went to sniff Xiao Jining's tableware to make sure that there was no strange poison on them. "The poison of the royal family is not so easy to cure. It took Yun Zhe many years to make me not afraid of poison."

"What kind of poison is that?" Jing Yuan didn't tell him what kind of poison it was, and Xiaodan didn't explain it to him in detail, so Xiao Jining asked him, "Is Jingyue also poisoned?"

Jing Yuan paused slightly: "Yes."

Xiao Jining frowned, feeling very strange: "But I don't think he looks poisoned, has his poison been cured like yours?"

"There's no solution." Jing Yuan said, "But he has another son, so it doesn't matter to him whether I die or not."

Xiao Jining's eyes widened immediately: "Jing Yue has another son?!"

In the end, it was because he hadn't read the original work, so he didn't know so many details.

In this case, maybe he can understand why the relationship between Jingyuan and Jingyue is so bad, maybe Jingyue is more interested in another son.

"Yes." Jing Yuan sneered coldly, "He is the son of an outsider, and he doesn't even have the last name 'Jing'."

Since it is an outer chamber, he and Jingyuan are not from the same mother.

"Then you asked me a few days ago—" And this news reminded Xiao Jining of something else, that is, a few days ago, Jing Yuan asked him if he wanted to protect himself or not if there was any difference between Princess Zhen and the Seventh Prince Gu Quan and the Seventh Prince's brotherhood.

Jing Yuan also said that even if he and the Seventh Prince were not from the same mother, they were still brothers connected by blood.At that time, he felt that such words were not like what Jing Yuan would say, but now that he knew that Jing Yuan had another brother, Xiao Jining understood a little bit——Jing Yuan might not be asking him, but asking Own.

"His name is Jing Zhen." Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining's eyes widened in astonishment, and said in a calm tone, "If I told you that I had already killed him, what would you think?"

"What else can I think?" Xiao Jining hadn't recovered yet, and just subconsciously said, "I don't know him."

He doesn't know the person named "Jing Zhen", and he doesn't know what kind of grievances and grievances there are between Jing Zhen and Jing Yuan. If you are not involved in many things, you cannot understand the other's feelings.

The most important thing is that before he came to this world, when he saw his mother being so kind to another child but being so indifferent to him, he also thought selfishly... It would be nice if his brother hadn't been born .

This is human nature.

Jing Yuan and Jing Zhen, just like him and the Seventh Prince, may only have one of them alive in the end. Even if he doesn't kill the Seventh Prince, if the Seventh Prince dies, it will be indirectly at his hands.

This path has never been their preferred choice.

Xiao Jining whispered: "I don't know him... just pretend that I don't know anything."

"I didn't kill him." Hearing what he said, Jing Yuan laughed instead, bent down and put his forehead against Xiao Jining's, and said softly, "I won't kill him."

Xiao Jining raised his eyes, and asked Jing Yuan, "Because your brother's relationship is also very good?"

"Not good." Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously, "I thought about killing him."

"Then why did you change your mind again?" Xiao Jining said, "Is it because of me?"

Xiao Jining felt that it was not his narcissism, but that he really felt that Jingyuan had made great concessions and changes for him, and he really hoped that there would be less blood on Jingyuan's hands, because that blood would not bring Jingyuan any harm. Come to joy, but also can not take away the pain and suffering he has suffered.

As for Jing Yuan's question from Xiao Jining, Jing Yuan just lowered his head and kissed him, but did not answer.

Three days later, there was indeed a movement from Concubine Zhen's side.

The timing of her choice was also very good, it was on the way Xiao Jining returned to the palace from the Shoukang Palace.She sent a little maid to stop Xiao Jining's palace chariot. The little palace girl was beautiful, and she cried like pear blossoms and rain. What kind of man wouldn't feel pity after seeing it?

"emperor……"

It's just that the original Xiao Jining didn't like women anymore, maybe he would still feel sorry for her, but it's impossible to have other thoughts, and Xiao Jining didn't know that she belonged to Concubine Zhen at the beginning.

Xiao Jining only thought that this was someone who wanted to seduce him to become a concubine, or someone sent by the Empress Dowager Chun to climb into his bed.

"What's the matter?" So Xiao Jining didn't get off the chariot, but asked the palace servants to stop the chariot, and first asked her, "Which palace are you from?"

The little maid wiped her tears with the corner of her sleeve, choked with sobs and said, "This servant is, this is Ganquan Palace, the maid next to Concubine Zhen..."

"No wonder I haven't seen you." Xiao Jining became more vigilant, but he still had to maintain a gentle expression on his face, "What's the matter with you?"

Blocking the emperor's chariot privately is a serious crime in the palace, but Xiao Jining followed the path of a benevolent monarch, and Concubine Zhen was also the biological mother of the Seventh Prince who had a good relationship with him, so he would not punish this little maid for this.

Concubine Zhen must have known this to act in this way, and more importantly, she knew that Xiao Jining and Concubine Chun were not on good terms.

"Reporting to the emperor, the maidservant came here for Concubine Zhen." The little maid knelt on the ground with a slender figure, "The 27th of this month is the concubine's birthday, and the concubine wants to meet the seventh prince on her birthday, but The Seventh Prince is not in the capital. The concubine did not dare to bother the emperor, so she wanted to ask the empress to see the empress, and ask the empress to talk about it in your spare time, but the empress..."

The little palace lady didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present could guess that the queen mother must have stopped the little palace lady from seeing the queen. If she agreed, could the little palace lady stop the emperor's chariot at this time?

No one in the palace knew that Emperor Yun Chu was born of the Empress Dowager Chun, but the relationship between mother and child was as calm as water. Emperor Yun Chu almost never listened to the Empress Dowager. This has to be stopped, if the Seventh Prince finds out about this, there is no guarantee that Emperor Yun Chu and the Seventh Prince will not have any suspicions.

And the reason why the Queen Mother Chun would do this is easy to guess, isn't it because she was often bullied by Concubine Zhen because of her resemblance to Concubine Zhen when Emperor Yunhong was there? I want to avenge this revenge.

It's just that Queen Mother Chun's move is to provoke the brotherhood between Emperor Yun Chu and the Seventh Prince.

But Xiao Jining was waiting for Concubine Zhen to come to him, so he waved his hand and said: "I know, Concubine Zhen is the mother concubine of Brother Seventh Emperor, and if she wants to see Brother Seventh Emperor, even I have no reason to stop her. Said it was the Queen Mother. You go back and tell Concubine Zhen that I will issue an edict tomorrow to summon Brother Seventh Emperor back to Beijing."

"Yes! Your Majesty." The little maid seemed very excited when she heard the words, she wiped away the tears from her face, and timidly raised her greasy little face to look up at Xiao Jining, her eyes were full of admiration, as if she was waiting for Xiao Jining to ask her name .

After all, the former Emperor Yunhong, the second prince, the fourth prince and others did such things a lot.

But the little palace maid's alluring gestures have thrown the wrong person, not to mention that Tan Qingxuan, the number one beauty in the capital, did not attract Xiao Jining's heart at the beginning, let alone she is still a concubine Zhen's person.

Xiao Jining also remembered that Jingyuan said that Concubine Zhen had a master poisoner by her side, so now everyone around Concubine Zhen was a mobile source of poison in Xiao Jining's eyes. He was about to be poisoned, so he asked Xi Shu to urge the palace servant Yu Ren to leave here.

Only after he couldn't see the little palace lady when he turned his head did Xiao Jining dare to breathe heavily.

After returning to the Golden Dragon Palace, Xiao Jining did exactly what he said to the little maid just now, and immediately wrote an edict to call the Seventh Prince back to Beijing.

But the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were out to inspect the state capital together, so if the Seventh Prince was called back to Beijing, the Eighth Prince might also come back together.However, the journey back to the capital for the seventh prince is dangerous this time, not to mention the danger for the eighth prince to come back with him, Xiao Jining also didn't want the eighth prince to face the civil strife in the capital, so he thought about it and stated in the imperial edict that only the seventh prince is enough to return to Beijing this time , the eighth prince must continue to inspect the state capital outside.

After writing the edict and printing the jade seal, the civil strife in Kyoto was settled, and there was no turning back.

Xiao Ji quietly looked at the imperial decree with the wet ink in front of him, and stood in the room when another person appeared.

"General Jing..." Xiao Jining softly called Jing Yuan's name, "In fact, I really want to send troops to protect Brother Seventh Emperor to return to Beijing smoothly."

But he can't.

If he sent troops, he would have made it clear that he knew about Concubine Zhen and Jingyue.

It would be great if the Seventh Prince died on the way back to Beijing, so Xiao Jining would not have to choose between himself and the Seventh Prince.

Jing Yuan hugged Xiao Jining from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder: "The Seventh Prince will not die on the way back to Beijing, Concubine Zhen will send someone to protect him."

Xiao Jining closed the edict and said softly: "I hope so."
