Since the birth of He Jinxi and Mo Tianran's son, Emperor Shenglin has made no secret of the importance he attaches to He Jinxi.

As a result, the court became more and more treacherous day by day, and many ministers saw the situation and stood in He Jinxi's camp one after another.

As if it was agreed, even many people around He Yuanming and He Yuancheng supported He Jinxi one after another, and even Prime Minister Xiao behind He Yuancheng praised He Jinxi's outstanding ability several times.

However, Emperor Cheng Lin, who hated ministers standing in line the most, did not show dissatisfaction at all.

Anyone can see that he has the intention to make He Jinxi the crown prince.

He Yuanming became more and more anxious and unwilling. After ten years of painstaking efforts, he would lose to He Jinxi, who entered the palace later. This made him feel incredible, and he also felt that Emperor Shenglin was partial.

The son of so many concubines doesn't like it, but he likes the son of this folk woman!

In fact, Emperor Shenglin dotes on He Jinxi because he loves his mother so much and feels ashamed of his mother and son.

Secondly, He Jinxi has outstanding abilities, as if he knows everything, he has helped Emperor Shenglin solve problems several times, and he can often speak to Emperor Shenglin's heart, making him believe that this son is the most like him.

The third is also due to Mo Tianran.

The emperor most needs a capable and loyal person who will not endanger his status. Among the many courtiers, who can be more sincere than a husband and wife.

In addition, He Jinxi has no influence from his mother's family, Mo Tianran's family background is declining, his brothers are weak, and there is only one brother with the same father, and he was imprisoned for life for some reason. The situation, let Emperor Shenglin rest assured.

Although he hated the prince coveting the throne, He Jinxi was different, he sincerely shared the burden for himself, unlike He Yuancheng and He Yuanming, no matter how smart they were, he could see their ambitions and had some concerns about them.

Emperor Shenglin, who thought so, moved his mind to Lichu, but He Jinxi was too young and needed time to cultivate power.

Not only to cultivate influence, but also to suppress the influence of He Yuancheng and He Yuanming, so that He Jinxi can secure the position of crown prince.

Although Emperor Shenglin's actions were not obvious, they made the sensitive He Yuanming strongly wary.

With fewer and fewer chess pieces in his hand, he thought of the army he had been cultivating.

"No, it's not yet time to make this move." He Yuanming shook his head.

Glancing at the dark guard, "How is it over there now?"

"Return to Your Highness, everything is safe." The dark guard replied. This private army is He Yuanming's last trump card. get the throne.

"Has anyone been there before?" He still remembers Mo Tianran's accidental break-in last time, after all, it was the first time the two met.

Thinking of Mo Tianran, the beads in He Yuanming's hand were squeezed tight again.

"Returning to Your Highness, since we moved out of the valley, we have strengthened our defenses, and no one has broken in by mistake."

"Okay." He Yuanming loosened his grip on the beads.

"What is your Highness going to do?" the guard asked, "His Highness...it seems that another Censor Zhongcheng has left. If things go on like this, His Majesty will make the tenth prince the crown prince within a year."

"Hmph!" He Yuanming slammed the string of beads on the ground, scattering the beads all over the floor.

The dark guard was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground and didn't dare to complain even if he knocked his knee on the beads.

He Yuanming didn't speak for a long time, but when the dark guard thought he was going to punish him, he heard him say it.

"I'll go meet Concubine Shu first, I hope he still remembers the alliance with me."

"What Your Highness said is that Concubine Shu is behind the General. If the General is willing to support His Highness, then His Majesty will not dare to easily make the Tenth Prince the Crown Prince."

He Yuanming nodded, and called out the door, "Come here, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

After He Yuanming changed his clothes, he asked someone to invite Concubine Xian to Concubine Shu's place first, and then followed him after half an hour.

When he arrived at Concubine Shu's hall, what he saw was not Concubine Xian, but the Three Princesses and Mo Tianran.

"Mother Concubine, look quickly, Brother Xiurong gave me the flower, this flower is a medicinal flower, it can be seen, the fragrance can also calm the mind and sleep, and prolong life, I think such a good thing, it is better to give it to Mother Concubine. "

Concubine Shu took the flowers and smiled from ear to ear, "Good boy, since it was a gift from your elder brother Xiurong, it's a gift of your heart, how can Concubine Mother take it away."

"Mother and Concubine, put it away, I still have it at my place." The third princess said with a smile, and asked people to put the flowers away.

Concubine Shu looked at Mo Tianran, thanking him for taking care of the three princesses, and regretting that such a good child could not be her son-in-law, she said, "It's rare for you to come today, so it would be nice to help me get a pulse, even though I'm It’s not as good as your superb medical skills, and you can feel more at ease if you have an imperial physician to pay your respects.”

The third princess became anxious when she heard this, "Mother Concubine, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that she cared so much about her, Concubine Shu felt even more annoyed, "Don't worry about Kuiyue, Concubine Mother is fine, just check her body as usual."

Only then did the third princess feel relieved, Mo Tianran nodded, felt the pulse of Concubine Shu, and smiled, "Your Majesty is in good health."

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and the third princess was even happier.

"That's good." Concubine Shu smiled, and picked up the snacks on the table to give to Mo Tianran and the third princess, "This is the snacks sent by Concubine Xian, you have a taste, the desserts of Concubine Xian are excellent, even the palace The imperial chefs here are not comparable."

"It's the dessert from Concubine Xian! I want to eat it!" The third princess picked up a piece as she spoke.

Mo Tianran also picked up a piece, moved it to his mouth and was about to put it into his mouth, when his expression changed, he quickly knocked the pastry from the hand of the third princess to the ground.

"What's wrong?!" The third princess and Concubine Shu didn't know why.

"I'm sorry Kuiyue, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Mo Tianran asked.

"No, what's the matter?" The third princess looked at him suspiciously.

She has a pure personality, but Concubine Shu quickly understood, and said in surprise, "Could it be that there is poison in this cake?!"

Mo Tianran glanced at the third princess, and nodded towards Concubine Shu, "This poison is colorless and tasteless, and it is extremely difficult to identify. It will take several hours for the poison to be released. If you don't check it carefully, it will be difficult to find out."

Mo Tianran's words on medical skills are the truth and authority in everyone's heart. Concubine Shu was startled, then furious, and threw the pastry plate on the ground, "Good concubine! You want to poison me to death?! "

The third princess was stunned and said, "No... no way, the concubine Xian is a kind person, how could she poison mother to death."

Concubine Shu also calmed down when she said this. After thinking about it carefully, she narrowed her eyes, "She is gentle and kind, but her son may not be."

The third princess was taken aback, "You mean Brother Ninth?"

Concubine Shu didn't respond to her, but just held the third princess in her arms, and said distressedly, "If it wasn't for your brother Xiurong being here, I'm afraid that concubine mother would lose you today."

She said that two tears were dripping from the corner of her eyes, Mo Tianran sighed and said nothing.

Seeing her sad, the third princess felt lingering fear, "Thank you, brother Xiurong, it's really thanks to you."

"You're welcome."

When He Yuanming came to Concubine Shu's hall, he bumped into it at this moment.

He Yuanming thought about the relationship between Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, first asked Concubine Xian to soften Concubine Shu, and then went in to say a few words by himself. According to past experience, cooperation is likely to be successful.

He stood outside the door and waited for the palace man to lead him in. As a result, after a while, the palace man came to report with an apologetic face.

"Your Highness Nine, Concubine Shu fell asleep just now and cannot see guests, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Asleep?" He Yuanming frowned, and paused, "Have you been here just now?"

"Return to Your Highness, Concubine Xian has come and left again."

He Yuanming frowned even tighter. If an ordinary concubine came to Concubine Shu's place, she would stay here for at least two hours. How could she leave so soon?

"Since the empress is resting, it's inconvenient for me to bother you. I can just tell her when the empress wakes up."

After He Yuanming finished explaining, he turned and left, and went to Concubine Xian's palace.

In the room, after hearing the palace servant finish what He Yuanming had said, Concubine Shu sneered, "He really can't get rid of the suspicion, if it has nothing to do with him, it's a good idea to ask Concubine Xian what she's doing here."

With Concubine Shu's mind, she would not simply suspect He Yuanming because of this, it was really because the third princess was Concubine Shu's bottom line.

Regardless of whether this pastry had anything to do with He Yuanming or not, she almost lost the third princess. Just this nearness was enough to make her hate He Yuanming.

She cooperated with He Yuanming for the future of the three princesses, she could not choose He Yuancheng, the others had nothing to contend with, so they could only choose He Yuanming.

Now that He Jinxi is deeply loved by Emperor Shenglin, and the third princess is on good terms with Mo Tianran, she is naturally smart enough to know which side to stand on.

So whether this pastry was poisoned by He Yuanming or not, she had to say yes, let Mo Tianran see her position, and take the opportunity to put aside her relationship with He Yuanming.

Compared with Concubine Shu's thoughtfulness, the third princess was much more innocent, and said angrily, "What a He Yuanming, he dared to hurt my mother and concubine! It's too bad!"

Concubine Shu turned red with anger, and patted the third princess on the back, "Don't be angry with Kuiyue, from now on, Concubine Mother won't accept anything from him!"

"Enen, concubine mother, don't associate with them anymore, and concubine Xian don't want to see her anymore, Kuiyue is afraid." The third princess said worriedly. In her heart, nothing is more important than her mother's life.

"In the future, if someone else sends you food, can you trouble brother Xiurong to show me?" Her filial piety and simplicity, invisibly, drew Concubine Shu to Mo Tianran and He Jinxi.

Naturally, Mo Tianran also knew the forces behind Concubine Shu. The general held a large army, which was very important to He Jinxi's success or failure.

He and Kuiyue are sincere, but the forces behind Concubine Shu can't pretend to be invisible.

"Of course, Kuiyue must remember not to eat indiscriminately in the future."

"Enen, I will definitely listen to you." The third princess nodded hurriedly.

Concubine Shu smiled, "With you Brother Xiurong, I feel much more at ease."

A not-so-big accident made the two sides, who had already intended to form an alliance, successfully reach a consensus.

Only the third princess, who was so stupid and sweet, still scolded He Yuanming in her heart, thinking of going to make a small report in front of Emperor Sheng Lin, and punish him.

He Yuanming hurried to the hall of Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Mu, didn't I ask you to go to Concubine Shu's hall to chat with her, why did you come back so soon?"

He Yuanming was rarely impatient, his intuition was always accurate, and the uneasiness in his heart made him unable to calm down.

Concubine Xian was at a loss by his tone, "Mother Concubine also wanted to chat more with Concubine Shu, and brought the cakes she just made. You know, Concubine Shu likes to eat the pastries I made the most, but when I got there , seeing that the third princess and the tenth imperial concubine were there, I couldn't get in any words, sitting there would only add to the embarrassment, so I left, thinking that I would go there again after the two of them go back."

He Yuanming stared and shrank again when he heard the words, annoyed in his heart, "It's Mu Xiurong again..."

He knew that there must be something wrong with Concubine Shu's reluctance to see him.

"You just insist on fighting against me to the end." He Yuanming was furious in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, "Mur Xiurong, you are so powerful beyond my imagination, it makes me more and more excited and miss you more and more Get rid of you."

Mo Tianran returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and told He Jinxi what happened today.

"It is absolutely impossible for He Yuanming to poison Concubine Shu, this trick is too stupid, he won't do it."

He Jinxi nodded, and Mo Tianran continued, "Without Concubine Shu's great help, he might go crazy."

He Jinxi smiled slightly, and the eight sages on the side said, "The Tenth Imperial Concubine is really amazing, but after sitting in Concubine Shu's hall for just an hour, Concubine Shu broke with He Yuanming, and Concubine Shu became our help."

"No." Mo Tianran shook his head, "It's not my credit. Concubine Shu probably didn't want to continue working with He Yuanming for a long time, but it's just going with the flow."

"It's just that I can't think of who put this poison." Mo Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hearing the words, the Eight Sage King pondered, "Yes, who would poison Concubine Shu?"

"Some people, I'm afraid we see it too simply." He Jinxi said.

These words broke Mo Tianran, and made the Eight Sage Kings understand, "It's him?!"

"But what is his purpose for doing this?" Eight Sage Kings were puzzled.

Mo Tianran lowered his eyes and said, "That's why Jin Xi said that seeing him is too simple."

Eight Wise Kings nodded, "Holy One, what should we do next?"

He Jinxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled at Mo Tianran, "Wait and see."
