mountain and river oath

Zhao Jing plunged into the scroll and worked tirelessly every day. In the blink of an eye, two months passed. It was reported in the palace that the princess was happy. Seeing the prince's reaction, he was furious, smashed all the things in the palace, and accidentally moved his fetus. Fortunately, the imperial doctor came in time to save the child, and the princess cried loudly in the palace.For a while, there was an uproar in the palace, and there were various versions, so it was very lively.

Zhao Jing Xiumu, he brought Li Rumei to Huanhua Courtyard, Li Rumei looked at Shu Zilan's white uniform, which made her skin look like fat, and made her features more delicate and elegant.

Zhao Jing sat casually beside Shu Zilan, and said, "This is Mr. Li Rumei, Mr. Li, who has a great talent. Maybe you two have a lot to talk about."

"Under Shu Zilan" Shu Zilan looked at Li Ru and said with eyebrows.

"Jiuyang, the youngest number one scholar in this dynasty, is a blockbuster," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"It's just doing nothing," Shu Zilan said.

"Where, Your Highness has mentioned you many times, and praised you for your talent," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan proudly, Shu Zilan smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Li Ru and said with eyebrows, "Your Highness is absurd"

"You two, don't be polite, it makes me feel uncomfortable," Zhao Jing said from the side. "Mr. Li is good at chess, how about you two confronting each other for a game?"

"Okay" Li Ru's brows brightened, he knew Shu Zilan's chess skills were outstanding, and he just wished they could get together, but he didn't expect such an opportunity today, so he naturally agreed.

"Okay, I'll have a confrontation with my husband," Shu Zilan said.

The servant held the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the two confronted each other attentively. At the beginning, the two played chess very fast, almost without thinking, and immediately made a move. Dare to look at the chessboard again. Gradually, the two of them played slower and slower, and often a chess piece would take a long time. When I came back to look, I saw that Li Rumei was holding a chess piece and couldn't make it for a long time.

"I lost." Li Rumei said dejectedly. He looked at the chessboard. Shu Zilan's layout was meticulous and he followed every step of the way. His chess piece was pursued and then ambushed. Shu Zilan.

"Accepted," Shu Zilan said.He looked at Li Rumei with admiration in his heart. He learned to play chess from an expert since he was a child. In addition to his extraordinary talent, he studied hard and practiced hard. After he became an adult, he had few opponents in the capital. He did not expect to meet Li Rumei today. It took him so long to come close to winning.

"Today there is only one game, come to visit another day, let's continue to compete," Li Rumei said, although he lost, but he was happy in his heart, to meet someone who was evenly matched, and the two could often compete in chess.

"Okay, Mr. Li can come to Huanhua Courtyard as a guest when you have time, my door is always open for you," Shu Zilan said heartily.

"I'm just being disrespectful," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"Let's eat," Zhao Jing said.

"Okay" Shu Zilan also felt hungry.

"Okay" Li Ru said with an eyebrow.

The three of them walked into the room, and the servant had already prepared the meals, five dishes and one soup. After Zhao Jing finished eating, Zhao Jing saw Shu Zilan still chewing slowly, so he picked up the bowl and added soup for Shu Zilan. His eyes stopped Zhao Jing, but Zhao Jing didn't seem to notice, put the bowl beside Shu Zilan, and said, "Have some soup"

Shu Zilan remained silent, Li Rumei looked at Zhao Jing thoughtfully, then at Shu Zilan, and then showed a clear smile.

After dinner, Li Rumei got up to leave,

"There are so many things going on in the mansion, I can't stay long, so I'm leaving," Li Rumei looked at Shu Zilan and said.

"Sir" Shu Zilan wanted to keep him, but Zhao Jing said, "He has a lot of things to do, let him go."

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing with dissatisfaction, Zhao Jing didn't seem to notice, Li Rumei pursed her lips and smiled, and walked out.

Shu Zilan watched Li Rumei go out and said, "Mr. Li is your aide, he is busy with things, don't you have more things to do?"

"If I did everything, wouldn't there be no place for Mr. Li?" Zhao Jing said boldly.

"Nonsense," Shu Zilan said.

"It seems that you like him very much?" Zhao Jing said reassuringly. Li Rumei is his important staff, and Shu Zilan is his closest lover. He hoped that the two of them could get along in harmony, but he didn't expect that the two would cherish each other, which would save him many things.

"You want him to know about us?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said, he understood Zhao Jing's meaning, Zhao Jing hoped that he could integrate into his life, accept the people around him, and be accepted by the people around him.

"Sooner or later, I'll know, why don't I take the initiative to tell him?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

"Can he accept it?" Shu Zilan asked worriedly.

"I believe Mr. Li," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan was relieved, he believed that Zhao Jing saw people well.

Zhao Jing stayed in Shu Zilan's house, and the two of them had a strong relationship at night, and they lingered until late at night before they rested.Shu Zilan fell into a deep sleep after taking a bath, Zhao Jing hugged Shu Zilan fondly.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door, Zhao Jing put on his clothes and hurried out, "What's wrong?"

"Prince Jing's mansion is here to see His Highness," the servant said.

"Bring him in," Zhao Jing said.

Zhao Jing watched the executive come in, and knew in his heart that something important must have happened, so he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Li, please go back," the executive said.

"I see, I ordered the horses to be prepared." Zhao Jing hurried in, looked at the sleeping Shu Zilan, in a dilemma, and finally called out "Rong Qing" in a low voice.

Shu Zilan opened her eyes in confusion, looked at Zhao Jing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's go to Prince Jing's Mansion," Zhao Jing said.

"What happened?" Shu Zilan asked hurriedly.

"I don't know," Zhao Jing said.

He handed the clothes to Shu Zilan. The two of them were dressed neatly. The servant had already prepared the horse. The two of them rode the horse and hurried back to Prince Jing's mansion. He brought Shu Zilan to the secret room familiarly. With a cup of hot tea, he drank with his head down.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jing asked hastily.

"The princess secretly executed the prince's male favorite. When the prince learned about it, he slapped the princess in a rage. Unexpectedly, the princess fell to the ground and bled on the spot. The imperial doctor came to make a diagnosis, and the child was gone. It's been three months, it's a boy." Li Ru raised his eyebrows.

Shu Zilan was startled when he heard that, he knew that in these few words of Li Rumei, there were many murderous intentions hidden behind, and perhaps some forces were also involved in it.

"Where is the prince?" Zhao Jing said.

"The prince was called by the emperor, the situation is unknown," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"When did it happen?" Shu Zilan asked.

"It's been an hour," Li Ru said with an eyebrow.

Zhao Jing and Shu Zilan looked at each other.

"The spies have been released?" Zhao Jing asked.

"It's been released. As soon as there is news, report it immediately," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"Okay" Zhao Jing said.

"After this incident, the crown prince's position can't be kept," Shu Zilan said.

Li Rumei looked at Shu Zilan appreciatively and said, "Young Master Shu is right. Last year, the emperor reprimanded the crown prince twice. He was already dissatisfied with the crown prince. It was only because of the opposition of the senior officials in the court that he did not dismiss the crown prince."

"What should we do now?" Zhao Jing pondered.

"Wait and see what happens," Shu Zilan said.

"How to say?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

"At this sensitive moment, the emperor will suspect anyone who moves," Shu Zilan said.

"Mr. Shu awakened the dreamer with a single word." Li Rumei nodded in agreement.

"Let's wait for the news, everything will be settled after dawn," Zhao Jing said while looking at the flickering candlelight.

The three of them sat in the secret room silently, without saying a word, the sky gradually dawned, and when the spies came back, Li Rumei got up and said, "How are you doing now?"

"The news came from the palace. The emperor was furious and completely disappointed with the prince. He ordered the prince to be imprisoned in the East Palace. The imperial guards guarded the gate of the palace, and no one was allowed to enter. The emperor secretly summoned the prime minister, secretary Lang, and ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters. "The spy whispered.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and Li Rumei, they all understood that the crown prince might fall.

The secret room sounded, Zhao Jing walked out, saw the senior executive standing outside the door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is a word in the palace that the repairing bath will be canceled today, and all officials will go to court to discuss matters," said the senior executive.

"I see." Zhao Jing turned around and walked back, saying, "Cancel Xiumu, go to court"

"It seems that the emperor has made a decision," Shu Zilan said.

"The prince's downfall is a certainty," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"Let's go" Zhao Jing said.

The two's personal attendants changed into court clothes for them, and the two hurried up to the court on horseback. Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, the corners of Zhao Chong's mouth rose, with an unconcealable smile, Zhao Jing stood behind Zhao Chong.

Emperor Jing sat on the dragon chair, looking tired, with sadness between his brows, he looked at the chief eunuch beside him and said, "Let's announce!"

The eunuch unfolded the imperial decree of Minghuang and read aloud, "Prince Zhao Chong, who behaves disorderly, is cruel by nature, occupies a high position, is not virtuous, and is unworthy of his position. From now on, he will be removed from the position of prince, named Youwang, and given the fiefdom Rongyang. Yi, Qin this"

After the eunuch finished reading, the court shook, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand why the emperor deposed the crown prince after one night. Zhao Chong looked at Zhao Jing with a calm expression. It seemed that he had known the news for a long time. Now he looked at many princes , Zhao Jing is the only one who has the ability to compete with him for the throne, but he has been in business for many years and has a deep foundation. Many people in the court are close to him. Chong looked at Zhao Jing and evaluated in his heart.

"Scattered Dynasty" the eunuch said loudly.

With the support of the eunuch, Emperor Jing walked back to the back hall.
