Xiao Jining was stunned when he heard what Jing Yuan said.

For Xiao Jining, this proposal of Jingyuan is almost a sure thing. Although Jingyuan hasn't said what he will let him do, Xiao Jining and Jingyuan both know each other well, and Jingyuan is absolutely He would not ask Xiao Jining to commit suicide, which contradicts the promise, and it is even more impossible for Xiao Jining to kill the Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, or anyone else he cares about, because doing so would not be of any benefit to Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan could even do it himself. .

If Jing Yuan insists on making such a request, then he has only one purpose, which is to torture Xiao Jining——however, Xiao Jining feels that the relationship between him and Jing Yuan has never reached the point of bitterness and hatred, so Jing Yuan will not Make such a request.

Xiao Jining hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the temptation of Jing Yuan's words "I will protect His Highness until I die", nodded slowly and said: "...Okay."

And after Jingyuan heard his promise, his eyes that had been deep into the lacquer flickered for a moment, but he quickly recovered his calm. Only Jingyuan himself knew that when Xiao Jining agreed to him, his heart was stirred up. What kind of landslide and tsunami buried his indifference and loneliness for so many years.

"Okay." Jing Yuan raised his hand in a hoarse voice, touched Xiao Jining's hair lightly, and said to him, "Then rest your Highness, I will go back first."

Seeing that Jing Yuan was willing to smile, Xiao Ji Ning was finally relieved. Although he used to think that Jing Yuan's smile was a superficial smile, and he had the aura of a hero when he looked at it, which always made people feel a little dangerous, but during this time, Jing Yuan Yuan didn't smile at him anymore, Xiao Jining realized how gentle the Jing Yuan who smiled at him before was.So he lay back on the bed and said obediently: "Yeah, General Jing, be careful on the road."

So Jing Yuan tucked Xiao Jining in the quilt and left, and turned off the lights for Xiao Jining before leaving.

However, Xiao Jining, who still felt a little sleepy before Jingyuan came, suddenly couldn't fall asleep after Jingyuan left. There was no one in the room, so Xiao Jining could only talk to Xiaodan: "Little Dan, Jingyuan and I renewed the promise we made. content."

"Well, I heard it." Xiao Dan responded to Xiao Jining, "Isn't this what you dreamed of? Are you happy? Satisfied?"

But Xiao Jining always had the feeling that he sold himself, and in the end Xiao Jining attributed this feeling to: "Perhaps what I can't get is the best. If I get it, I won't have that feeling of heartbeat anymore."

"Why do you talk in a way?" Xiao Dan asked him, "Did you get the throne? No, are you attracted to the throne? Not."

Xiao Jining tried to quibble: "That's because it's not difficult for me to be an emperor, at least it's easier than letting Jingyuan protect me until I die."

Xiaodan couldn't help but said: "You shit!"

Xiao Jining was shocked: "You swear!"

Xiao Dan felt that Xiao Jining was poisonous, and said with a sneer, "Then you will be an emperor right away and show me."

"Okay, I'll show you." Xiao Jining started to talk nonsense with his eyes closed, and found a comfortable sleeping position to sleep well.

Xiaodan asked him again: "How do you behave like this?"

"Lie down, close your eyes, and wait until the jade seal comes into my hands automatically." Xiao Jining said, "Let's go to sleep, there is everything in the dream."

Xiaodan: "..."

On the second day, Xiao Jining did not become emperor.

But this morning, after Jingyuan brought Dr. Jiang to visit Xiao Jining, he announced good news to him - Xiao Jining no longer needed to pretend to be sick, and could already meet outsiders.

The outsiders in Jingyuan's mouth, of course, refer to the seventh and eighth princes who come to Shun Palace every day to ask if the Ninth Prince is awake.

Although most people in Shun Palace knew that Xiao Jining had woken up for several days, but due to Jing Yuan's strict order, no one dared to spread the news. It was not until Jing Yuan allowed that the people outside knew—— The Ninth Prince, who was poisoned by the two imperial brothers, was so lucky that he survived.

That's why the Seventh and Eighth Princes came to Shun Palace to see Xiao Jining immediately after receiving the news.

But they came at a very bad time.

Because Xiao Jining's complexion is not very good today, the reason is that when Jing Yuan brought Doctor Jiang here in the morning, he gave Xiao Jining an acupuncture treatment.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Jining wake up in the morning and see Jing Yuan?Of course it was because he was woken up by the needle.

Xiao Jining was sleeping soundly at first, but suddenly he felt a tingling pain in his chest. At first, there was only one pain, but later on, he felt like being pricked by needles in several places. He wanted to struggle, but As if being held down and unable to move.

As a result, when Xiao Jining opened his eyes, he really saw a few shining golden needles piercing his chest. The person holding the needles was Doctor Jiang, and the one holding him down was naturally Jing Yuan.

Xiao Jining had heard of acupuncture before, but he hadn't really tried it. He had heard that acupuncture was not painful, but now after he tried it himself, Xiao Jining realized that saying it didn't hurt was a lie.

A few thick needles pierced the skin, even after getting used to the needles, it didn't hurt much, but the moment the golden needles pierced the skin, it really hurt. Xiao Jining was afraid of pain, let alone watching himself being pierced. As a result, it wasn't until Xiao Jining's eyes turned red from the back, and tears welled up in his eyes, that Doctor Jiang took the golden needle leisurely.

Xiao Jining hurriedly gathered his clothes and covered the quilt, as if he had been bullied, especially when he heard Doctor Jiang, Jing Yuan and Mu Kui say that he would come for acupuncture every day for the next half month to ensure that the remaining poison When it was completely cleared, Xiao Jining almost fainted.

So when the Seventh and Eighth Princes came to Shun Palace, what they saw was Xiao Jining who was listless after hearing the bad news.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince only thought that Xiao Jining had just narrowly escaped from the dead, and their expressions were not very good. The Seventh Prince acted more calmly, so his expression was still calm, but the Eighth Prince's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears holding Xiao Jining .

However, the Eighth Prince immediately sat by the bed, hugged Xiao Jining through the quilt and said: "Ninth Brother, you finally woke up, do you know how long you have been in a coma? You scared us to death!"

"Ninth Brother." The Seventh Prince's voice could not hide his excitement, "How do you feel now, and is there any discomfort in your body?"

As soon as Xiao Jining heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand to caress his chest - that's where he was stabbed in the morning.

The Seventh and Eighth Princes thought that Xiao Jining was still afraid of being poisoned, their eyes dimmed slightly, but there was also some distressed expression on their faces, Xiao Jining saw that the expressions on their faces did not seem to be fake, and felt even more uncomfortable. It would be the Seventh Prince who poisoned him. Even if it has something to do with the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince might not know about it.

He comforted the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince and said: "You two princes don't have to worry about me, Jining is already much better."

The Seventh Prince sighed immediately after hearing the words: "How can we not worry about you when something like this happens?"

"Yes." The Eighth Prince also said, "Ninth Brother, do you know how you were poisoned?"

When Xiao Jining woke up, he also asked Mu Kui this question. Mu Kui told him: After Concubine Xian died, Dali Temple investigated her. When pouring tea for Xiao Jining, he flicked his fingernails, and poured the medicinal powder between his fingers into the tea soup to poison Xiao Jining.

Although this method of poisoning is not meticulous and flawless, it is almost perfect when poisoning close or defenseless people, and Concubine Xian has no intention of surviving after poisoning Xiao Jining at all. So she didn't have to worry about how to get rid of her suspicions after being poisoned. The matter of poisoning Xiao Jining became easier.

After Xiao Jining relayed what Mu Kui said to him to the seventh and eighth princes, both of them remained silent.

After a long time, the Eighth Prince said: "I really can't believe... Concubine Xian would do such a thing."

The Seventh Prince also frowned and sighed: "Yes, the day before your accident, when I went to visit my mother and concubine in Ganquan Palace, I ran into Concubine Xian. Remember to add more clothes, be careful of catching cold, and said that the people in the palace are sinister, and you want me to protect the younger brothers, but you don't want her... to do that to you the next day."

The Seventh and Eighth Princes didn't know whether to lament that Concubine Xian would be such a person, or to lament that she knew people and faces but didn't know her heart. After all, Concubine Xian was extremely vicious, but she was forced to do so. Such a thing, but she has indeed committed a big mistake, even if she pays for it with her life, it will not be able to repay her sin.

However, listening to the Seventh Prince's words, Xiao Jining always felt that he seemed to have found some clues, but he really didn't understand where the clues were. He just somehow felt that the Seventh Prince's words contained very important information.

He stared blankly at the Seventh Prince, looking at the square face of the Seventh Prince—it was strange to say that among the children of Emperor Xiao, the princesses all looked like him, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and extraordinary heroism; but the nine princes Among them, none of them followed his eyebrows and eyes. On the contrary, they all looked like their biological mothers, and they were more handsome. Among them, Xiao Jining was the softest, with red lips and white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows, and the eighth prince with Liao blood was the most rigid. , born tall and broad-eyed, handsome and sassy.

Because of this, the Seventh Prince looks very much like Concubine Zhen, just like Xiao Jining looks like Chun Jieyu.

However, on the face of the Seventh Prince, there was no trace of concubine Zhen's habitual weakness, but a firm and awe-inspiring look - but this was not quite right.

Chun Jieyu imitated Concubine Zhen's posture, so she was also weak and pitiful, so even if she stopped wearing this weak appearance later, she still had the arrogance of a little daughter acting like a spoiled child when she was bossed around, and Xiao Jining perfectly inherited her Appearance, a pair of apricot eyes are clean and innocent, when looking up at people, he always seems to be well-behaved and docile, making it impossible for people to defend against him.

In the same way, the Seventh Prince, who resembled Concubine Zhen, shouldn't be so calm and resolute, and should have a bit of elegance, but he didn't.

So at this moment Xiao Jining stared blankly at the Seventh Prince, as if through the Seventh Prince, he saw another resolute concubine Zhen who was not pretending to be weak.

At this moment, Xiao Jining finally grasped the problem in the Seventh Prince's words - Concubine Xian had been to Concubine Zhen the day before Concubine Xian poisoned him.

Xiao Jining said to himself in his heart, maybe he was thinking too much, but he couldn't help asking himself: If Concubine Zhen is really a pure, innocent, delicate and weak woman, can she really be alone in Emperor Xiao's harem? Been pet for decades?
