Assuming that the Seventh Prince did not attack him before, it was because he had always stood by the Seventh Prince's side and supported the Seventh Prince's ascension to the throne; but after the Second Prince's death, he did not immediately express his position on the Seventh Prince's side and let the Fourth Prince ascend the throne. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the Seventh Prince attacked him.

What's more, Concubine Xian's suicide instantly brought down an emperor and three princes—the last words of the three princes, mother and concubine are more important than mountains. Not only can she not return to Beijing for ten years, but even her children and grandchildren are not allowed to touch the throne; Regardless of whether the prince got involved in this matter or not, he has not made a fuss with a fox now. If he inherits the throne, all the officials will have something to say; and Xiao Jining, the Ninth Prince, was poisoned by her. Knowing that Xiao Jining's poison has been cured, it is only as if his life or death is unknown at present, and it is hard to say whether he will still live.

So if the fourth prince voluntarily abdicates in the near future, only the sixth, seventh, and eighth princes are still eligible to inherit the throne. The sixth prince is acting absurdly and doing nothing. blood, and the eighth prince's biological mother is Princess Daliao, if the fourth prince has a chance to inherit the throne, and the eighth prince is the one who is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, only the seventh prince is a well-deserved candidate for the new emperor.

From this point of view, the Seventh Prince became the final winner.

But still the same sentence, Xiao Jining doesn't like to use such malice to speculate on others, and he doesn't think that the Seventh Prince is such a person, this guess has too many loopholes.

It would be great if he could meet the Seventh Prince and have a chat with him in person.Xiao Jining thought to himself.

But of course he would not directly ask the Seventh Prince whether you are the mastermind behind the scenes, at most Xiao Jining would only chat with the Seventh Prince and ask him what he thinks about the suicide note left by Concubine Xian, and then take a look at it Is there anything wrong with the Seventh Prince?

It's just that Xiao Jining is not in good health and can't get out of bed, and Jingyuan still doesn't let him out of Shun Palace, so Xiao Jining can only continue to stay at home to recuperate.

Fortunately, Jing Yuan didn't lie to him. Apart from being unable to go out, Xiao Jining was still a walking bully in Shun Palace. If he wanted to know anything, he could directly send Mu Kui to ask, and then come back to tell him—although the current Xiao Jining couldn't get out of bed yet.

Lei Teng San's medicinal properties are indeed very dangerous. Although Xiao Jining can speak and move after recuperating for a few days, his "movement" is limited to the level where Mu Kui supports him to sit up and drink two mouthfuls of porridge with a spoon. Get out of bed, and get tired easily, sleeping almost two-thirds of the day.So Xiao Jining was absolutely convinced that if Jing Yuan hadn't invited a genius doctor to save him, his body might already be on the way to the imperial mausoleum.

Because of this life-saving grace, Xiao Jining still felt that after Jing Yuan ascended the throne, he would not die, otherwise why did Jing Yuan spend so much effort to save him?

Xiao Jining couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's finally done. I really have been a daughter-in-law for many years."

Xiaodan: "?"

"How do you describe this?" Xiao Dan asked Xiao Jining, "You can't be too happy yet."

Xiao Jining felt that there was nothing wrong with his metaphor, but Xiaodan still asked, "Why?"

"Didn't Jingyuan promise you to protect you until the Seventh Prince ascended the throne? Seeing Jingyuan save you with so much effort, I believe he is a person who keeps his promises. But—" Xiaodan dragged his tail and paused After a pause, he said, "Now the fifth prince is obviously unlikely to ascend the throne, the next person to ascend the throne should be the seventh prince, and after the seventh prince ascends the throne, this promise will be invalidated, and you will be the chopping block to Jingyuan at that time." Serve the fish and let him cut it."

Xiao Jining: "..."

"I think you're scaring me." Xiao Jining felt that Xiaodan might be sitting in a dream to encourage him to become the throne again, so he used these words to scare him, but he didn't deny that Xiaodan's words were somewhat reasonable.

Xiaodan said meaningfully: "Anyway, I have already told you in advance, if Jingyuan attacks you at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

When Xiao Dan said this, Xiao Jining remembered the scene when he woke up that day, the day when Jing Yuan attacked him, and in the past few days, Mu Kui said that Jing Yuan would also come to see him, but both of them Didn't see each other because he was sleeping every time Jingyuan came.

After listening to Xiao Dan's words now, although Xiao Jining still does not doubt that Jing Yuan will attack him, he wants to see Jing Yuan more now than the Seventh Prince.

So on this day, even though Xiao Jining was sleepy after dinner, he still called Mu Kui to the bedside and asked him, "Mu Kui—"

Mu Kui bent down and approached Xiao Jining, respectfully said: "My lord, do you have anything to tell your servant?"

But Xiao Jining asked him: "How many days has General Jing not visited me?"

"It seems... just a few hours, count as half a day?" Mu Kui was stunned when he heard the words, he thought about it, before General Jing went to the palace this morning, didn't he come to see his prince in the palace of Laishun?

Mu Kui calculated the time and answered Xiao Jining affirmatively: "My lord, General Jing hasn't visited you for half a day."

Xiao Jining: "..."

Was it because he asked Mu Kui that the words were wrong, or that Mu Kui answered him was wrong, why did the two of them feel a little weird when they asked and answered each other?

"My lord, what's the matter?" Mu Kui continued to ask Xiao Jining, "Do you want to see General Jing?"

Little did Xiao Jining know that when he asked Mu Kui the first question, the person in his words had just walked to the door of his bedroom.

Jing Yuan's martial arts are unpredictable, and his eyes and ears are sharp. Even if he hadn't entered the room, he could hear Xiao Jining's voice clearly in the room, so he put down his right hand that was about to push the door, and stopped outside the door to hear how Xiao Jining would answer mukui.

And the boy in the room sighed softly and said, "Yes."

The moment this short two-word sentence fell, Jing Yuan couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, he just felt that every word the young man said next made him softly soft.

"Every time he came to see me, I was asleep and couldn't see him." The young man said distressedly, "So I feel like I haven't seen General Jing for a long time."

Mu Kui smiled and said, "My lord, General Jing will visit you at least once a day, and Doctor Jiang will follow him to diagnose your pulse and adjust your prescription in time."

"Is that so." Xiao Jining asked again, "Then has he visited me today?"

"I've already seen it, I watched it in the morning." Mu Kui replied to Xiao Jining, "You were not awake at that time, my lord."

"That means he won't come to see me today." Xiao Jining frowned, and then said to Mu Kui, "Then when he comes to see me tomorrow, Mu Kui, remember to wake me up."

Although Mu Kui didn't know why Xiao Jining insisted on seeing General Jing, he still said: "Yes, my lord."

After ordering Mu Kui, Xiao Jining lay down and pulled the quilt for himself to prepare for the moment, but the next moment he heard Jing Yuan's voice coming from the door: "Your Highness wants to see me?"

Mu Kui, who was about to turn off the lights for Xiao Jining, saw Jing Yuan entering the house, and saluted, "General Jing."

Jing Yuan raised his hand to signal Mu Kui to back down, and then walked to Xiao Jining's bedside.

"General Jing, are you here?" Xiao Jining let out a "huh", and immediately supported the bed and wanted to get up.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan leaned over slightly, holding Xiao Jining's arms and shoulders to help him get up from the bed.

It was also because of being so close that Jing Yuan could smell the bitter herbal smell coming from the boy's body during his movements.This smell is no stranger to Jing Yuan, during this period of time when he visited Xiao Jining every day, he could smell this smell from his neck and hair.

But before Xiao Jining was poisoned, he remembered that Xiao Jining's body had always only had the unique sweet smell of pastry, and the arm he was holding was slender and weak, and he could completely wrap it around with just one palm - the medicine still seriously injured Xiao Jining's body .

Thoughts in Jing Yuan's heart were a little ups and downs, but nothing showed on his face, he just responded softly to Xiao Jining and said: "Well, Your Highness wants to see me so much, why?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Jining hesitated for a while, but still didn't think about how he was going to talk to Jing Yuan, so he could only make an excuse and said, "General Jing, I have been recuperating in the mansion for half a month, right? Only then can it be regarded as... having a good rest?"

To put it bluntly, Xiao Jining was asking Jing Yuan when he could leave the house to meet people.

After hearing Xiao Jining's words, Jing Yuan did not rush to speak, but lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Jining, as if he was thinking about why Xiao Jining asked such a question, then he opened his mouth after a while, and asked him instead: "I come to visit His Highness every day. Knowing everything in the hall, I told Mu Kui everything, and Mu Kui must have told His Highness. I wonder who will His Highness go to see after he wants to recuperate?"

Xiao Jining was stopped by Jing Yuan's questions, so he told Jing Yuan about another person he wanted to meet: "...Brother Seventh Emperor?"

At this moment, Xiao Jining stabbed a hornet's nest without knowing his words. Jing Yuan laughed back, but there was no trace of anger in his face, and he asked Xiao Jining with a smile, "Didn't I tell Your Highness before, be careful?" The Seventh Prince? How come His Highness has already been poisoned, and still wants to see the Seventh Prince?"

Jing Yuan's voice was his usual deep voice, but his tone was slow and soft, but Xiao Jining always felt that there was something in Jing Yuan's words, and he felt a little dangerous, so he said carefully with an innocent look: "But my poison...wasn't from Concubine Xian. Is it?"

"It's Concubine Xian who was threatened by Brother Four and the Queen Mother." Xiao Jining thought for a while, and then finished adding, "Brother Four Emperor can't tolerate me, so he has to get rid of me."

"Why can't the Fourth Prince tolerate you?" The smile on Jing Yuan's lips gradually faded, and he leaned over and approached Xiao Jining, "His Royal Highness, do you remember? When I was a child, I asked you why you refused to learn riding and archery, and you gave me a faltering answer." If you don't come up, your face will be full of tears after a while, the fourth prince, why should he be afraid of a prince who can't even lift a bow and arrow?"

Because of Jing Yuan's sudden depression, the two were very close, and Xiao Jining could almost feel the itching of Jing Yuan's breath falling on the corner of his lips when he spoke, but behind Xiao Jining was a soft pillow and a wall, and there was no way to avoid it Avoiding, he heard Jingyuan suddenly mentioning the matter of riding and shooting, his pupils suddenly tightened, he licked his lips and lowered his head, looking at his fingers on the brocade quilt, whispered: "Yes..."

And Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining's hair, and suddenly regretted it - he knew that Xiao Jining had a weakness, and that was archery.But he never mentioned this matter in front of Xiao Jining.Now it is mentioned again that the reason for using this incident to bully Xiao Jining is because Xiao Jining wants to see the Seventh Prince again.

Both of them were silent, and finally Jing Yuan sighed softly: "Your Highness, there are indeed people who can't tolerate you, but that person is not only the Fourth Prince."

Xiao Jining still didn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Jing Yuan could only stand up and say, "Your Highness, rest well, my minister is gone."

But before Jing Yuan could take half a step, the boy stopped him again: "General Jing."

Jing Yuan turned back to look at Xiao Jining, Xiao Jining raised his head at this moment, staring at him with almond eyes: "Actually, I don't want to see Brother Seventh Emperor, I just don't understand many things, but I can't find these things by myself I got the answer. General Jing told me to be careful of Brother Seventh Emperor, but Brother Seventh Emperor and I grew up together, we were brothers and sisters, and helped each other. Protecting me from growing up has saved my life, if someone told me to beware of General Jing, I would not believe it."

"But the person who made me be careful of Brother Seventh Emperor was General Jing. I believe in General Jing, and I also believe in Brother Seventh Emperor. I..." Xiao Jining frowned slightly when he said this, "I really don't know what to do. .”

Jing Yuan stared at Xiao Jining in a daze when he heard the words, then returned to sit on the edge of the bed after a while, and asked him, "Your Highness really trusts me?"

"En." Xiao Jining nodded while looking at Jing Yuan's dark eyes.

He believed in Jing Yuan, and Xiao Jining would not believe anyone who told him at this stage that Jing Yuan wanted to harm him, because he would judge whether it was right or wrong, and he was absolutely sure that no matter what the future would be, Jing Yuan would now Only to protect him.

Just like what he said to Xiaodan back then, if he wanted to gain Jingyuan's trust, he had to trust Jingyuan first—and the contributions were reciprocal.

So Xiao Jining said to Jing Yuan: "General Jing saved my life. I remember it. In the future, I will definitely be willing to save General Jing like this, even if it costs my life."

Jing Yuan looked at the young man's clean almond eyes, trying to find a trace of guilt or deceit, but he didn't see it.Rationally, he told himself from the bottom of his heart, maybe it was just Xiao Jining, a cunning little fox, who wanted to continue coaxing him to protect him, but Jing Yuan couldn't deny it—he really hoped that Xiao Jining hadn't lied to him.

In other words, it doesn't matter even if Xiao Jining lied to him, because he would deceive himself and others, believing that what Xiao Jining said was the truth.

It's just that it's not his character to give for nothing, so Jing Yuan wants to get some benefits for himself, he asked Xiao Jining: "Your Highness, do you still remember the one thing I promised you before?"

Jing Yuan said: "I promise Your Highness that I will protect His Highness until the Seventh Prince ascends the throne. At that time, His Highness will implement a request made by the minister, and any request will be fine."

Xiao Jining said, "I remember."

"Now, I want to change this promise." Jing Yuan curled the corners of his lips almost invisibly, he suppressed a kind of fanatical excitement in his heart, and said slowly to Xiao Jining, "I will always protect Your Highness until I die , but Your Highness agrees to this request of this minister, I can raise it at any time, and His Highness must fulfill his promise."
