Because Concubine Chen suddenly coughed up blood and became seriously ill, the Chongyang Autumn Harvest Festival had to end hastily.

Although the prince's seat and the concubine's seat are not in the same place, Xiao Jining can clearly see the situation on the concubine's seat. He was stunned, but Xiaodan suddenly reminded him: "The rebellion of Nine Dragons has already begun. You Be prepared."

"Preparation? What preparation?" Xiao Jining was stunned, and asked Xiaodan, "Didn't you say that the Nine Dragons Seizure started after I got married?"

"Yes, but at the palace banquet when Jingyuan returned to Beijing, Emperor Xiao originally wanted to marry you and Jing Si, and the chaos of seizing the heirloom began at that time, even if Emperor Xiao didn't give you a marriage now , The chaos of seizing the throne will still come on time." Xiao Dan explained to Xiao Jining, "Because the crown prince is about to die."

"The prince wants to—" Xiao Ji Ning suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost shouted out, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately fell silent, and the fingers hanging by his side trembled slightly.

"Your Highness." At this moment, Jing Yuan, who walked to Xiao Jining's side at some point, suddenly spoke and called Xiao Jining.

"...Jing, General Jing." Xiao Jining immediately pretended to be calm, forced a smile and talked to Jing Yuan, "What do you want from me?"

Jing Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing, but raised his eyes and gazed deeply at Xiao Jining, until Xiao Jining was so watched that he could not maintain his calm face, Jing Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Jing Yuan has something to say, I held it back in my heart for a long time, and I always wanted to discuss it with His Highness, but it is inconvenient to say this matter clearly in a letter, so Jing Yuan could not open his mouth until he met His Highness."

Xiao Jining felt that Jing Yuan's words were quite ambiguous, but the way Jing Yuan looked at him made Xiao Jining a little uneasy, so he just asked Jing Yuan: "What do you want to say?"

Jing Yuan said: "There are a lot of people here, why don't we go to Yipinlou, where His Royal Highness often goes, and talk about it."

Xiao Jining also readily agreed to him: "Okay."

Jing Yuan asked again: "Then I wonder when Your Highness will be free?"

"Let's just say today." Xiao Jining was very confused, thinking that choosing a day would be better than bumping into the sun, so why not listen to Jing Yuan's talk about cutting the mess with a sharp knife today.

So Xiao Jining did not go back to the palace, but went to Yipin Building together with Jingyuan.

After entering the private room, both Jing Yuan and him shunned all other people, even Mu Kui and Xiao Jining just asked him to guard the door, and if there is no order, do not enter the room to disturb his conversation with Jing Yuan.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them were seated, Jing Yuan only focused on making tea with downcast eyes, without saying a word.

Too many things happened today, Xiao Jining's mind was in a mess at the moment, and after sitting with Jing Yuan for a while, he couldn't help but speak bluntly: "I don't know what General Jing wants to tell me?"

Jing Yuan didn't lift his eyelids, but opened his lips and sighed softly: "Concubine Chen is probably dying."

After Xiao Jining's words fell, his pupils suddenly tightened, and for some reason, there was a burst of sadness in his heart.

In the end, it was because of what Concubine Chen said - it is better to have a confidant than to have all the beauties in the world.

He didn't hear this sentence from Concubine Chen, nor from Emperor Xiao, but one morning, when he was going to the study room for morning class, he heard Chunji leaning against Yusheng after chasing after Emperor Xiao left. A murmur by the gate of the palace.

Chun Ji said that she was very envious of Concubine Zhen.

So Xiao Jining always thought that this sentence was used by Emperor Xiao to describe Concubine Zhen. When chatting with the seventh and eighth princes, he also used this sentence to reject Emperor Xiao's offer of marriage, but he did not expect this sentence The words were actually what Emperor Xiao said to Concubine Chen back then.

He has lived in the harem for more than ten years, and he knows that in this huge and deep palace, true love is hard to find, and true love is hard to see; The sadness in my heart can be said to be thick or not, and the concubine Chen has no deep relationship with him. He only feels sorry for her because of her wrongly paid affection.

There are rumors in the palace that when Concubine Chen was in full swing, the crown prince was established as the crown prince by Emperor Xiao as soon as Jichen was full moon. Later, Concubine Zhen entered the palace and gave birth to the seventh prince. Concubine Chen turned white sideburns overnight. It didn't get better... She vomited blood and fainted during the dinner today, maybe her time is really running out.

Xiao Jining couldn't help lowering his eyes, looked at the table and murmured: "How could it be..."

And Jing Yuan was also looking down at Xiao Jining.

He was observing the Ninth Prince who hadn't seen him for many years.

In fact, Jing Yuan has long forgotten what Xiao Jining looks like. If it wasn't for Xiao Jining's regular letters every month, Jing Yuan would never give Xiao Jining a place in his existence among the things he thinks about all the year round.

Seven years have passed, Jing Yuan only remembers that when he left that year, the Ninth Prince was still a short little ball, and besides the fifth princess in the palace, he was the roundest. The young man, his eyebrows were not the same as when he was young, and his lips were not the same as when he was young. Only those apricot eyes that were as clear as snow and clean as autumn water were still the same as in his memory, and had not changed a bit.

Oh, and his kindness and pity, which had nowhere to be put, didn't seem to be cut by half. Even when he heard the news that Concubine Chen was about to die, he would still show a little sad look.

Jing Yuan's eyes darkened, and he handed Xiao Jining a cup of brewed hot tea.

The young man took the teacup he presented and held it tightly, as if wanting to absorb some warmth from the heat coming from the cup wall, Jing Yuan snorted lightly, and poured another ladle of cold water on his heart without hesitation, To bring him back to his senses: "If the concubine Chen dies of illness, the prince will be hit hard and devastated."

Jing Yuan looked straight into Xiao Jining's eyes when he looked up at him, and said clearly and slowly, "Your Highness should have prepared for yourself earlier."

Afterwards, Jing Yuan was satisfied to see the boy's eyes wide open, and asked himself in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I said." Jingyuan repeated, "Your Highness should have prepared for himself."

Xiao Jining still asked him: "I'm making preparations, what should I do to prepare?"

"The emperor has a lot of affection for the concubine Chen. Once the concubine Chen is gone, even if the crown prince is abolished in an accident, the emperor will not directly change the crown prince for a while." Jing Yuan's tone was unhurried, as if he had given up on the prince before he went to the border. Xiao Jining said when analyzing the relationship between court and court, "What's more, the living will never be able to compete with the dead. No matter how much the emperor favors the concubine Zhen, the favor of the concubine Zhen will never be returned, because every time the emperor sees the concubine Zhen A concubine will always think of Concubine Chen, and if the Emperor still likes Concubine Zhen, then Empress Chunji can..."

"The prince will have an accident, what will happen to him?" Xiao Jining interrupted Jing Yuan, he didn't want to hear Jing Yuan tell him these things anymore, "Even if something happened to him, what's the use of you telling me about it?"

"Your Highness." Jing Yuan put down his teacup, walked to Xiao Jining's side, raised his hand to gently touch his wrist, "His Highness has been caring for me these years, and Jing Yuan understands His Highness's thoughts. As long as His Highness says a word, Jing Yuan is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness." , to fulfill His Highness' wish."

"The wish in my heart?" Xiao Jining was laughed at by Jing Yuan, and he really laughed, and asked Jing Yuan in a trembling voice, "Do you know what the wish in my heart is?"

Jing Yuan sighed lightly when he heard the words: "Then, does His Highness really have no idea about that position?"

"No." Xiao Jining replied firmly without any hesitation.

"Then why has His Highness been so kind to Jingyuan all these years?" Jingyuan said indifferently, looking down at Xiao Jining's eyes and asked him, "You and I both know that if you have nothing to ask of me, then you have been so kind to me all these years." My good, do you dare to swear that it all comes from the heart?"

"I……"

At the last sentence, Jing Yuan no longer called him respectfully, and Xiao Jining was really at a loss for words, and could no longer answer Jing Yuan's questioning with confidence.

It is true that he did not please Jingyuan out of his heart, and he also knew that Jingyuan was suspicious by nature, and would never believe that his kindness to him came from his heart, but he treated Jingyuan like this, only because he wanted Jingyuan to let him go after he became the throne, not He has extravagant demands on the throne.

But he couldn't tell Jing Yuan these answers, otherwise, if Jing Yuan asked him why he knew he would definitely ascend the throne, how would he answer?

So in the end, it became a dead end.

Jingyuan thinks that he treats him well and just wants to use him to ascend to the throne of God. Now that he is willing to help him, what is there for him to refuse?

"Then you also know that I have no heart for the throne." Xiao Jining could only say, "If I had the heart, I would not have saved my Brother Eighth Emperor back then, and I would not have refused to learn riding and archery, and I would not have even written words. Not good, let Li Shidu sigh frequently."

Just as Xiao Jining couldn't answer Jingyuan's question, he couldn't refute what Xiao Jining said at this moment.

Everything that Xiao Jining has done these years, apart from trying to please him and befriend him, there is really nothing that can bring him closer to the throne. In fact, not only Xiao Jining does not understand Jingyuan, but Jingyuan also sees I don't understand Xiao Jining.

His inquiring eyes wandered back and forth on Xiao Jining, trying to see some traces of concealment and lying in the young man's eyes, but Jing Yuan didn't see anything.

Those apricot eyes are clean, as clear as the melting snow from spring to early spring, as clear as the dust-free water in autumn, if Xiao Jining can really fool him... No, Jing Yuan smiled, he felt that no one in this world could fool him over him.

He just didn't believe that there would be no one in this world who would not be moved by that position.

So he half-kneeled in front of Xiao Jining, bowed his head and apologized: "Your Highness, it was Jing Yuan who was wrong, it was Jing Yuan who misunderstood His Highness's intentions."

However, Xiao Jining listened to Jing Yuan's apology, but Gao Xuan's heart didn't drop an inch, and his body was exhausted. He didn't know what he could say at this time, so he could only let Jing Yuan get up from the ground and repeat to him: "I I really don't care about the throne..."

"But Your Highness has to prepare for himself. I know that His Highness has no interest in the throne, but other people don't think so, especially the Second Prince." Jing Yuan didn't sit back in his seat, but brought a teapot to exchange for a new cup of tea for Xiao Jining , "Once the crown prince falls, His Highness, you and the Seventh Prince will be the first to bear the brunt."

Perhaps because of the temptation just now, Jing Yuan no longer said half of what he said before, but was much more straightforward: "Although the seventh prince is accompanied by the emperor's favor, once he loses Emperor Xiao, he will have nothing to lose." No. It's not as good as the second prince who is surrounded by the Gao family of the Xu family, nor the fifth prince who is married to the Ji family, and even you——can't compare to it."

At the last sentence, Jing Yuan paused for a while before finishing his sentence, and then he said: "Although I will protect Your Highness, Your Highness has to make some preparations for himself."

Xiao Jining lowered his head and did not speak, Jing Yuan's eyes dimmed when he saw this, and he looked at Xiao Jining's hair with deep eyes, but he lightly patted Xiao Jining's shoulder, and his voice was soft and slow, full of "If your Highness changes his mind in the future, Jing Yuan's heart for His Highness will remain unchanged."

The author has something to say: Why do you think that the emotional drama has already started, and now it is only slowly starting. Let me warn you, the prince will be offline soon.
