Jing Cun followed the little eunuch all the way to the side hall to change his clothes. He felt something was wrong in his heart. When he came out after changing his clothes, two little eunuchs passed by and hurried to the main hall.

His figure was hidden in the dark, and the two young eunuchs didn't notice. They were discussing in low voices, and not a word of what they said fell into Jing Cun's ears.

"The third prince is finished this time..."

"It's not that... the concubine Ying has been favored recently..."

Jing Cun's heart skipped a beat at the word "ying concubine". In the original plot, the concubine that the third prince entangled after drunk was precisely Ying concubine.

At first it was forced by the third prince, but later the concubine half-pushed and gave up, and the two rolled together in the back garden, not noticing the passing maid who was eavesdropping.

Palace banquet...Third prince...Welcome concubine...Prescribed medicine...

Jing Cun's mind flashed, and he suddenly realized that the palace banquet was this palace banquet.The original plot has not changed, the only thing that has changed is that He Rongchen changed the task of administering the medicine to let him do it.

After the incident was completed, blaming He Jinxian would not only make the emperor dislike the third prince, but also dislike He Jinxian even more... At the same time, it also planted a thorn in the future to separate him and He Jinxian.

Killing three birds with one stone... He Rongchen really is a good trick.

Jing Cun gave a "tsk", turned on his toes, and went all the way to Yuzan Temple.

The evening wind in early summer brings warmth and coolness to people. The camellias protruding from the Zhuwa blow off a few petals, and the branches and leaves fall leisurely on the bluestone floor. Passers-by pass by and raise a faint fragrance of tea.

Jing Cun thought as he walked, He Jinxian usually pulls like [-] yuan, and he should not rely on him at critical moments.

Walking all the way to Yuzan Hall, there were still a few young eunuchs guarding the entrance of the main hall, Jing Cun walked around to the side hall, and came to the back window of the side hall.

After confirming that the rear window was not guarded, he pushed open the carved wooden window, put his hands on the window sill, and jumped into the hall with his strength.When he landed, he stretched his head to look outside, and closed the window with his hand.

The little eunuch hiding in the dark, "..."

Jing Cun looked at the palace by the moonlight, and called the system in his mind, "Everything——"

System 231, "?"

"Help me check if there is spring powder in He Jinxian Hall."

System 231, "Ding, the host needs to pay one point."

Jing Cun decisively agreed, "Okay."

The mechanical voice of System 231 was mocking, "You have 0 points now."

"I owe it first, and I will pay you back 10 points when I finish the side mission."

System 231 thought about it for a while, and agreed to it when he thought it was feasible.

"Ding, the scan found spring powder under the villain's bed and in the corner of the wooden cabinet under the window."

According to what the system said, Jing Cun found two packets of powder under the bed, and another packet under the wooden cabinet.

He turned around and asked worriedly, "Is there any other place?"

When he arrived at the closet, Jing Cun opened the closet door smoothly.

His eyes fell on the clothes inside, these were He Jinxian's usual clothes, and the few clothes he sent were not in it.

"Tong, please trouble you again, help me check where the clothes I sent last time are now, and I will return you 50 points next time."

While talking, Jing Cun rummaged through the closet, and there were indeed none of the ones he sent.

System 231 felt that he had taken advantage of it, and quickly scanned it out for him as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word. "Ding, it was detected that in the flower bed in the yard, the clothes have been converted from cloth to burnt ashes."

Jing Cun, "..."

He Jinxian's face appeared in his mind, thinking that this little thing never believed him... Even the clothes he sent were afraid of something wrong and burned directly...

When he came across a soft cloth, he took it out subconsciously, and a small piece of white cloth appeared in front of him. Jing Cun looked like a handkerchief, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and smelled a faint fragrance of cold plum.

He suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster, his breathing became hot, and a rush of impulse gathered towards the position three inches below his abdomen.

He flipped the "big handkerchief" left and right in the palm of his hand, feeling quite puzzled.

The scent of cold plums on this handkerchief seemed to keep hooking him, and he couldn't help being moved.He vaguely remembered... He Jinxian also seemed to have the fragrance of cold plums on him.

System 231 was in a good mood after getting cheap, and reminded him, "Ding, the host is holding the villain's obscene pants."

"!!!"

Jing Cun's face turned red quickly, feeling that the things in his hands were very hot, he quickly threw the cloth back into the cabinet, and closed the cabinet door with a "bang" with his hand.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

He just said it after he had finished smelling it.

System 231, "Ding, I thought the host knew."

Jing Cun's forehead twitched. He has been in this world for a long time. He must know what obscene pants look like.

But... Jing Cun silently looked at his lower body... Could it be that he is too big?

All the way back to the Xiancheng Hall, the scene was still lively, but the emperor's complexion was very bad. Jing Cun guessed that the emperor had received the news that the third prince and his concubine were in the backyard.

He paused when he passed by He Jinxian's table, He Jinxian glanced at him, Jing Cun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace and returned to his original seat.

The third prince was not at the seat, and a group of dandies gathered together to tease and toast. Seeing Jing Cun sitting down, one of them asked, "Brother Jing, why did it take so long to change clothes?"

Jing Cun explained a few words casually, and fooled it.

When the banquet was over, the ministers dispersed, Emperor Yuan took a look around and left a few princes and companions behind.

The rest of the people gathered in the main hall. Behind Emperor Yuan was the Imperial Physician Song, who said, "The Imperial Physician Song detected the medicinal ingredients in Cheng Yun wine just now, someone dared to murder the prince under my nose—"

Emperor Yuan's voice was deep and majestic, "The ones left today are all those who had contact with Cheng Yun at the banquet. Whoever did it come out now, and I will give you a chance. If I catch people out later, I will let people directly send them into the palace." Prison."

Naturally, the emperor would not tell everyone about the third prince and his concubine, after all, it was related to the face of the royal family, and he only vaguely said that someone was plotting against the third prince.

It was quiet down there, and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what happened, with doubts in their eyes.

Jing Cun took the time to glance at He Rongchen, He Rongchen looked at a loss, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

On the contrary, after he looked over, He Rongchen gave him a comforting look.

Jing Cun sneered in his heart, and looked away.

No one wanted to admit it, Emperor Yuan glanced at the little eunuch behind him, the little eunuch understood, bowed and saluted, and hurried out of the palace gate.

After a while, the little eunuch came in again, holding a small white dog in his hand.

"Dogs are very sensitive to the smell of the medicine the Third Prince took—"

The little eunuch sent a white puppy, which flapped its legs and sniffed around the person in front of it.

After smelling it for a while, if it wasn't for the little dog, it would immediately replace someone. The people in the hall tried to come over one by one. When it came to Jing Cun, the little dog stayed for a long time.

Jing Cun guessed that He Rongchen asked him to change clothes halfway, and also guessed that the emperor might do something like this.

Finally, the little dog walked away wagging its tail, and continued to sniff one by one. When it came to He Jinxian, the little dog sniffed with the tip of its nose, and suddenly opened its mouth and barked.

"Woow - woof -"

Emperor Yuan's eyes fell on He Jinxian, as if he was waiting for He Jinxian to speak and listen to his explanation.

He Jinxian glanced at the little dog, with a gloomy look in his eyes, he raised his head to look at Emperor Yuan, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "Father, I have been sitting on the table at the banquet, and I have never had contact with the third brother."

"Who said that you must have contact before you can do it?" The prince snorted aside, "If someone has a heart, he can take the medicine and let someone else give it to the third brother, so that if someone finds out afterwards, he can also clean it up?"

"Besides, who here has a quarrel with the third brother—" The prince's eyes turned to He Jinxian, and the eyes were very intriguing.

He Rongchen said, "Before the matter is clarified, I hope Father will make a careful decision, and don't wrong Seventh Brother for nothing."

Emperor Yuan thought for a while, then waved his hands behind him, "Come here—go search inside the Yuzan Hall."

He Jinxian's fingertips hanging by his side moved, his eyes fell on the prince and He Rongchen, his dark eyes were bottomless.

"Third brother often makes jokes about seventh brother on weekdays. It's just a small fight. If seventh brother uses this method to deal with third brother because of this, it will be too much."

Jing Cun watched as the prince opened and closed his mouth insinuating, turning black and white, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a sarcastic arc.

joke?Playing around?He Chengyun almost took He Jinxian's life several times, but was just taken away by the prince lightly, implying in every word that He Jinxian must avenge his grudge against the third prince.

"The search results haven't come out yet, how can His Highness be so sure that it was His Highness the Seventh Highness? Could it be that His Highness is sure that the guards will definitely find something in the Jade Hairpin Palace?"

Jing Cun smiled slightly at the prince, without answering his eyes at all.

The prince squinted his eyes, "Jing Cun, what do you mean?"

"I don't doubt His Highness." Jing Cun said, "It's just that His Highness is too assertive. If it is found out that His Highness Seven did not do it, wouldn't people be wronged for nothing."

He said so on the lips, but on his face he had an expression that I just doubted you.

The prince wanted to refute, but when he noticed that Emperor Yuan's eyes were on him, he snorted coldly and gave Jing Cun a hard look.

Emperor Yuan pondered for a while, then said to Jingcun, "You usually follow Cheng Yun's side, so you should understand the situation better. Is what the crown prince said true?"

The ambergris incense from the censer in the hall floated up, and a circle of candle tears dripped from the candlestick. It was quiet, and you could hear needles falling on the ground.

Jing Cun felt the eyes of the crowd, he saluted and replied, "My lord, Jing Cun will only follow the third prince when he attends the Taifu's class, and he is not in the palace on weekdays."

His answer was ambiguous, but Emperor Yuan understood what he meant.

Jing Cun is the person next to the third prince, so he naturally wants to help the third prince speak, so he avoids answering, but it implies that the third prince is not just "small fights" with the seventh prince.

Emperor Yuan could understand, so could He Rongchen. He looked at Jing Cun with indifferent scrutiny in his eyes.

There was an evening wind that blew into the hall along the carved sandalwood window, blowing away a wisp of saliva.

The guards outside came back from the Yuzan Hall, knelt on the ground with one knee, cupped their hands and said, "My Majesty, my subordinates have searched all over the Yuzan Hall, but there is nothing the Song imperial physician asked to find."

There was a flash of surprise in the prince's eyes, and he quickly covered it up.

Emperor Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling quite a headache, and said, "I'll look into this matter later, you go back individually."

Everyone saluted and left the palace gate one after another.

Jing Cun was the last to leave, and He Rongchen was waiting for him outside the hall.

The two walked side by side, with a distance of one foot between them. He Rongchen turned his head and looked at him, "Just now in the hall...Why didn't A Cun explain to third brother?"

"Why do you want to help him explain?" Jing Cun was slightly surprised, "Every time the Third Highness teases the Seventh Highness, he let me go. If I still speak for the Third Highness in His Highness, the Seventh Highness will definitely hate him in the future."

He Rongchen said warmly, "Among the princes...the one that A Cun doesn't have to worry about the most is the seventh brother."

He said it euphemistically, meaning that He Jinxian has no hope of seizing the heir, and there is no power behind him that can help him, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Jing Cun couldn't help but said to the system in his mind, "He can be the emperor? He doesn't have any vision..."

System 231, "Ding, world settings."

He stopped in his tracks, looked towards He Rongchen, and smiled softly, "Your Highness, to me, the Seventh Highness...is the same as you and the Third Highness."
