As soon as Xiao Jining issued the edict calling the Seventh Prince to return to Beijing, after a few days, there was no other movement from Princess Zhen's side, and Queen Mother Chun's side began to act as a demon first.

What kind of demon are you doing?

The Empress Dowager Chun said that she and Concubine Zhen were like sisters, so she wanted to organize the birthday party for Concubine Zhen herself.

Concubine Zhen is neither Xiao Jining's biological mother nor adoptive mother. Logically speaking, she should leave the palace after Emperor Yunhong's death. So far, she can still stay in the palace because the seventh prince is not yet married. It's time for a birthday party.Concubine Zhen used the birthday banquet as an excuse to want the Seventh Prince to come back, but who would have thought that Queen Mother Chun would come so suddenly.

And the Queen Mother Chun is still young, and it is a breeze to organize a birthday party in her early thirties.

Concubine Zhen is just a concubine. Even if she wants to hold a birthday banquet, it should not be too grand. It is a great honor for the Queen Mother to hold a banquet for her in person. What's more, Queen Mother Chun also said that the birthday banquet will be held at Outside the palace, everything is kept simple, but she will definitely do her best to reunite Concubine Zhen with her son happily.

The Empress Dowager Chun said all the good things in order to coax Xiao Jining to agree.

It's just the reason that Queen Mother Chun used...Similarity with sisters, Xiao Jining felt that the brotherhood between him and his four emperor brothers and five emperor brothers was probably deeper than the sisterhood between Queen Mother Chun and Concubine Zhen, and Xiao Jining was very suspicious. Can the birthday banquet hosted by the Queen Mother really make Concubine Zhen happy?

The sudden request made by the Queen Mother Chun was not expected by anyone. After the Queen Mother Chun finished speaking with Xiao Jining in Shoukang Palace that day, Xiao Jining neither agreed nor refuted immediately. He only told the Queen Mother Chun that he should go back and think about it. .

Xiao Jining couldn't make up his mind by himself, and didn't understand what the Empress Dowager Chun wanted to do by insisting on holding a birthday banquet, so he told Jing Yuan about it after nightfall.

Jing Yuan thought about it after listening, and said: "You can leave this matter to Queen Mother Chun, but the location of the banquet has to be decided by you."

At that time, Jing Yuan was taking off the imperial clothes for Xiao Jining, when he heard Xiao Jining said "Huh", he turned his head and asked suspiciously: "Is it really up to me to decide?"

"On the surface it was you who made the decision, but actually it was me." Jing Yuan was also frank, and directly made the decision for the emperor, "It will be done in Li Xinggong."

Then Jingyuan explained to Xiao Jining: "In the palace, if I suddenly send a large number of people to protect you, both Jingyue and Concubine Zhen will be suspicious, so it's better to go outside the palace and replace all the palace people in Lixing Palace with mine. People are better off."

"It makes sense." Xiao Jining remembered Li Xinggong, which was a hot spring palace in the south of Kyoto, built on the top of a mountain, and it was a good place for emperors of the Great Xiao Dynasty to soak in hot springs in winter.

Moreover, there are many trees on Li Xinggong Mountain for hiding soldiers, and the terrain is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as [-] soldiers are stationed near Li Xing Palace, even if Jing Yue leads an army of [-], it may not be able to attack.

Xiao Jining agreed: "Okay, then let's do it like this."

Jing Yuan said again: "You don't need to reply to the Queen Mother in a hurry. After Concubine Zhen has found me, you can go back to the Queen Mother and say you agree."

"Will Princess Zhen look for you?"

"She will definitely look for it, because she doesn't know what the Empress Dowager Chun is going to do, but it will be easier to do it outside the palace, and she doesn't want to let go of this opportunity." Jing Yuan put Xiao Jining's imperial clothes embroidered with dragon patterns on the hanger and put them away , He is not interested in this dragon cannon at all, he is only interested in the young man under the dragon robe, "She will also ask me to persuade you and the other princes to attend her birthday banquet, and kill them together in Li Xinggong." you."

Jing Yuan clearly said words full of killing intent, but even when he caged Xiao Jining under his body, Xiao Jining still didn't feel oppressed at all.

He just raised his hand and touched Jing Yuan, his actions were quite indecent, and his words were also indecent: "It's big."

After speaking, he touched himself again, frowned and said: "These days you help me try the dishes every day, the food is so good, you have gained weight; on the contrary, I am worried every day, and I have lost a lot of hunger."

Jingyuan: "..."

Forget it, it's not easy to talk about serious business in bed, this stupid king won't listen.

Jing Yuan shut up and stopped talking, and since Xiao Jining likes to open his mouth, he will let him open his mouth as much as possible.

So the next morning, Xiao Jining almost didn't get up.

After arriving at the Xuanzheng Hall, his eyes were dark because he had not slept enough, and his complexion was not very good-looking. In the eyes of all officials, it was that Xiao Jining had some dispute with the Queen Mother yesterday, but Wen Yu was the only one who could see it all. complex.

This night, Jing Yuan was not on duty.

Although whether he was on duty or not, he spent every night in Xiao Jining's dragon bed, but tonight he did not enter the palace, but stayed in his major general's mansion.

He is waiting for Concubine Zhen's people to come.

As soon as the outsider finished playing, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Jing Yuan was wiping his sword in the room, without raising his head, he said, "Come in."

There were two people who came, both of whom were wearing dark night clothes, and the older one took off his mask after entering the room, and said to Jing Yuan in a high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs: "General Jing, the concubine invites you You go to Ganquan Palace."

Jing Yuan didn't say anything when he heard the words. After inserting the saber back into the scabbard at his waist, he stood up and walked towards the palace with the two of them.

But Concubine Zhen didn't meet Jingyuan in Ganquan Palace, they met in a small pavilion outside the palace wall of Lenggong.

This place is located in the most remote part of the palace, almost no one would come here, and Concubine Zhen did not let the palace servants who came with her light up the lamps, only relying on the moonlight to distinguish people.

She looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and when she heard several footsteps behind her, she slowly turned her head to look at the person who came: "General Jing, you are here."

Jing Yuan also opened his lips, and said lightly: "Princess Zhen."

Concubine Zhen asked him: "Long time no see, how are your preparations going?"

"It's enough to kill Jingyue." Jing Yuan raised his eyes and stared at her, "The others are your business."

Concubine Zhen smiled, the soft and beautiful face that Emperor Yunhong loved so much, now only the darkness that the night cannot hide: "I will take care of the others, but you have to kill someone before I will take care of you." The antidote is for you."

"Xiao Jining." Jing Yuan said the name of the person she wanted to kill directly, and he also smiled after he finished speaking, "But the concubine, you know, the antidote is optional for me."

The smile on Concubine Zhen's lips remained unchanged: "But you still need it."

"The person who can make this antidote in the world has been killed by me." Concubine Zhen took a few steps towards Jingyuan, slowly opened her palm, and a round golden pill lay quietly In her palm, "The antidote in Xiao Mo's hand is fake, and this is the only antidote left by Xie Huangen."

Jing Yuan curled his lips and said, "But Xie Huang'en still has a lot more, are you sure your son doesn't need this antidote?"

Concubine Zhen raised her jaw slightly, and said proudly: "My son is not Yunhong, he doesn't need to use it to lead Da Xiao."

Jing Yuan snorted and said, "Okay."

The poison that Emperor Yunhong used to control the Jing family was called Xie Huangen—what an ironic name.

Xie Huangen's poison itself is stored in the emperor's private treasury, and the emperor can use it freely; the antidote is placed in the East Factory, under the care of Xiao Mo, and will not be handed over to the emperor directly. This is what Jingyuan found out after a long time of investigation , so no matter how Jingyue searched in the palace, it was impossible to find the antidote.

"One more thing—" Concubine Zhen took back the pills and continued, "The Empress Dowager wants to organize a birthday banquet for me outside the palace, but Xiao Jining disagrees."

"Okay, I see, I will let him agree." Jing Yuan said, "Except for Xiao Jining, the rest of the princes will also go out of the palace together to celebrate your birthday."

Even Wen Yu knew about the changes in the army stationed in Beijing, and the Fourth and Fifth Princes would definitely receive the news.

Now that the fourth prince knows the secrets of the Jing family, he will understand that following Xiao Jining is the safest choice—after all, Xiao Jining, who already knows the secrets of the Jing family after sitting on the throne, will use Xie Huangen's antidote as a threat to ask Jing Yuan protects himself.

He thought that it was impossible for Jing Yuan to betray Xiao Jining.

But none of them, even Xiao Mo himself, knew that the antidote he guarded was fake.

Emperor Yunhong lied to Xiao Mo.

Xie Huangen's only antidote was secretly given to Concubine Zhen by Emperor Yunhong a long time ago, so that no matter who ascended to the throne after Emperor Yunhong's death, the Jing family would be in the hands of the Seventh Prince. In his hands, owning the Jing family is the real possession of the throne.

Emperor Yunhong was devoted to concubine Zhen and the Seventh Prince, even Xiao Mo refused to trust him, he was really a loving father.

But Emperor Yunhong probably never expected that he would die at the hands of Concubine Zhen whom he loved so much all his life.

Before Jingyuan left the cold palace, he took one last look at Concubine Zhen. Standing beside her was a pudgy old nanny with an ordinary appearance—the concubine Zhen had a poisonous person beside her. Extremely, but few know it.

Before leaving, Concubine Zhen asked for something from Jing Yuan, saying it was a token.

What Concubine Zhen wanted Jing Yuan to keep was the jade pendant that Jing Yuan had worn with her for a long time, and then disappeared when she rescued Xiao Jining from falling into the water, and was found by Xiao Jining again.Concubine Zhen felt that this kind of thing that Jing Yuan could carry with him for a long time must have a special meaning. If Jing Yuan can hand it over, it will prove his sincerity.

And Jing Yuan did hand over the jade pendant, but he was not quick enough to hand it over.

When he heard Concubine Zhen asking for the jade pendant, Mr. Wen Yan paused, and after a moment of silence, he took the jade pendant off his waist, and threw the jade pendant that had a deep relationship with Xiao Jining to Concubine Zhen without looking back.

Seeing this, the nurse next to Concubine Zhen immediately asked her: "Concubine, do you think Jingyuan will kill Xiao Jining?"

"In order to understand the medicine, he will definitely kill." Concubine Zhen caressed the jade pendant, the jade pendant was oily and smooth, with the texture of being touched and played with all the year round, "Do you think he really wants to be the emperor because of that position?"

"Except for my silly boy Ji Ming, I only believe that Jing Yuan doesn't want the throne."

The next day, Emperor Yun Chu agreed to Queen Mother Chun's request to organize a birthday banquet for Concubine Zhen, and the venue for the birthday banquet was Li Xinggong.

It's just that Li Xinggong and his party said that the birthday banquet was held entirely for Concubine Zhen.

Because it was already late autumn in the capital, the emperors of all dynasties would bring the empress dowager and concubines and ministers to live in Li Xinggong for a few days every year at this time of year.However, Emperor Yun Chu was lenient, and specially allowed the Li Xinggong party and Princess Zhen to accompany her, and allowed the Queen Mother to hold a birthday banquet for Princess Zhen in the Li Xing Palace.After the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, he can go directly to Lixing Palace to meet with Concubine Zhen.
