royal husband

the next day.

Ying Ziheng's position as crown prince was gone, Princess Dingbei was demoted to side concubine, and the fact that her two children were about to marry Ying Ziheng shocked everyone in the court/country.

Leaving aside what happened in the Dingbei Palace, the abolition of the crown prince is a major event, which concerns the foundation of the Great Xia, how could Ying Zhengjing make such a decision on his own?

pity.

Ying Zhengjing's golden words, no matter how much the ministers tried to persuade him, did not change his intention to abolish the crown prince, and what was even more puzzling was that Shen Chaoyang actually echoed Ying Zhengjing's words and agreed to abolish his nephew's position as crown prince.

After the morning court, a minister who was familiar with Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but walked up to Shen Chaoyan and asked, "Master Shen, the second prince has a very close relationship with you, why did you agree to the emperor's abolition of the prince? We also persuade the emperor, maybe there will be a turnaround."

After hearing this, Shen Chaoyan shook his head helplessly, "Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it's fine not to mention it."

Shen Chaoyan echoed Ying Zhengjing, on the one hand to show his loyalty, and on the other hand to protect himself and wait for the right time.Ying Ziheng had already provoked Ying Zhengjing's anger because of Zhuzhou's incident, but yesterday he was tricked and didn't know it, so how could Ying Zhengjing let him off lightly?I didn't say anything to the court just now, but it was just for the sake of the royal face.

"Master Shen..."

"Okay, I still have to arrange for the Seventh Prince and Li Shizi to go to Zhuzhou, so I won't talk much about it." Shen Chaoyan said goodbye to the minister with a cold face, then turned and left.

When it came to Li Jin and the others, the minister who asked did not dare to stop him, so he could only watch Shen Chaoyan leave.

At the gate of Dingbei Palace.

Wei Shiwan was reluctantly saying goodbye to Li Jin, those who didn't know thought Li Jin was Wei Shiwan's biological son, "Jin'er, you must be careful when going here, and you must not act impulsively."

Li Jin smiled and said, "Yes, I will remember what the side concubine said."

Wei Shiwan wanted to act, so Li Jin naturally accompanied her.

When Wei Shiwan heard the word 'side concubine', a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, she smiled and said, "That's good, it's not too early now, Jin'er, you should go too, it would be bad if you delay. "

Li Ruoyan laughed mockingly, "Mother is right, Li Jin, you'd better go."

This time, only Wei Shiwan and Li Ruoyan came to see Li Jin off. Li Siyuan wanted to come, but Wei Shiwan locked him in the room and couldn't get out. Wei Rong claimed to be sick and didn't want to see Li Jin at all.

"En." Li Jin ignored Li Ruoyan's low-level provocation, nodded to Wei Shiwan, got into the carriage, and drove towards the palace.

Li Ruoyan's gaze seemed to be poisoned, she stared at the carriage that Li Jin was sitting in, and said through gritted teeth, "Mother, a vicious person like Li Jin doesn't deserve your kindness to him."

"Now is not the time to touch Li Jin." Wei Shiwan shook her head, "Besides, Li Jin is going to Zhuzhou for this trip, and whether he can come back is still up for debate."

As for Wei Shiwan coming out to see Li Jin off, it was just for others to see.

"Mother, Li Siyuan betrayed us and took refuge in Li Jin. I want to talk to him well before we get married, and let him 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light'." Li Ruoyan's words were squeezed out.

Since she can't deal with Li Jin, then she will deal with Li Siyuan.

Wei Shiwan wanted to cultivate Li Ruoyan, so she agreed, "Okay, I will leave Siyuan to you, remember, you must clearly explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, after all, you will marry the second prince in the future, and if you have the same heart, outsiders can take advantage of it. "

"Yes, mother."

Li Ruoyan obediently agreed, but the lingering malice in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

Explain the benefits?No, more than that, I will let him know the consequences of harming me.

……

"Li Shizi, you're finally here? Come with me, it's almost time." Zhiqiu, who had been waiting for Li Jin's arrival at the gate of the palace, saw Li Jin's carriage coming, and hurried forward to greet him.

"It's troublesome."

Li Jin got out of the carriage neatly, followed by Ping An and Zhou Yunting respectively.

This time when he went to Zhuzhou, Li Jin only brought the two of them with him. After Wei Shiwan knew about it, he also asked Li Jin to bring a few more people, but Li Jin refused on the grounds that the Seventh Prince would also go with him.

I also know that Wei Shiwan took the initiative to mention this matter, and she must have the idea of ​​planting spies by Li Jin's side.

Li Jin subconsciously asked, "By the way, why don't you see the Seventh Prince?"

Every time Li Jin entered the palace, after Ying Yuan knew the news, he would wait for Li Jin outside the palace gate first, so this time when Ying Yuan didn't come, Li Jin was not used to it, and asked inadvertently.

And this question just came out.

Before Zhiqiu answered, Li Jin was startled, as if he never thought that he cared so much about Li Jin's absence.

What's wrong with me……

"Back to Prince Li, the Seventh Prince planned to come here with Nushuang, but on the way here, he met Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen wanted to talk to the Seventh Prince, so he stopped the Seventh Prince."

Thinking of Cai Yingyuan's helpless appearance just now, Zhiqiu couldn't help smiling.

In the intriguing palace, not to mention the relationship between Li Jin and Ying Yuan, Ying Yuan was able to wait for Li Jin at the gate of the palace for seven years. Accepted Yingyuan.

"So that's the case, then let's go faster."

Li Jin subconsciously quickened her pace.

"Yes."

Zhiqiu hurriedly followed.

Not a moment.

Under the leadership of Zhiqiu, Li Jin found Shen Chaoyan who was doing the final inspection, and Ying Yuan who was a little anxious at the side.

"Li Jin, you're here." Seeing Li Jin coming, Ying Yuan greeted him immediately, and the anxiety between his brows disappeared the moment Li Jin appeared.

Li Jin smiled back, "Sorry, I'm a bit late."

Ying Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you came just in time, Mr. Shen hasn't finished the inspection yet."

"I've seen Mrs. Li."

Shen Chaoyan, who was watching the inspection by the eunuchs, saw Li Jin coming, and nodded politely.

"Master Shen."

Li Jin also nodded towards Shen Chaoyan.

"Li Shizi, please wait with the Seventh Prince. Your journey is far away, and I feel that you have to check it several times before you can feel at ease." Shen Chaoyan stopped Ying Yuan just now, just to talk about checking the carriage.

"Thank you, Master Shen."

Faced with Shen Chaoyan's kindness, Li Jin would not refuse.

"The Queen is here."

Suddenly, a eunuch shouted, and Li Jin and others hurriedly saluted Gu Rushuang, "See the queen, the queen is a thousand years old."

"Pingshen." After Gu Rushuang asked them to get up, she signaled a certain imperial physician who came with him this time to come out and said, "Jin'er, Yuan'er, you are going to Zhuzhou now, and I have chosen Imperial Physician Shi for you."

Shi Weixu bowed to the three people present, "Shi Weixu has met the Seventh Prince, Prince Li, and Mr. Shen."

Li Jin smiled knowingly, "Physician Shi, I have troubled you along the way."

Li Jin already felt very good that the person who came was not Wang Quande. Furthermore, although this Shi Weixu had joined Ying Zhengjing now, at least Shi Weixu had a relationship with them, and he only liked to study some intractable diseases. , can help if necessary.

"No trouble, no trouble, it's my honor to go to Zhuzhou together." Shi Weixu grinned.

Hearing that there was an epidemic in Zhuzhou, Shi Weixu had long wanted to come, so when he knew that the queen wanted him to go to Zhuzhou, he agreed without even thinking about it.

Shi Weixu?Why not Wang Quande?

Shen Chaoyan knew that Li Jin had always been seen by Wang Quande, so he couldn't help but wondered, "Your Highness, why didn't Wang Quande Wang Quande go to Zhuzhou together? This imperial physician Shi?"

Gu Rushuang said unhurriedly, "Wang Quande still has something to do. Shi Weixu has been helping Wang Quande all these years, and he is no stranger to Jin'er's condition. It would be appropriate to have him go."

Just when Shen Chaoyan wanted to ask in detail, the eunuch who was assigned to inspect the carriage happened to finish the inspection, and came to report to Shen Chaoyan, "My lord, the inspection has been completed, and there is no problem."

"Well, I see, you can go down." Shen Chaoyan waved his hand to make the eunuch back down.

"Yes, Lord Shen."

The eunuch quickly responded, and quickly stepped back with the other eunuchs who were inspecting together.

When Xu Shi learned that the carriage was ready, it would be a waste of time. Shen Chaoyan had no intention of asking, and said directly, "Your Highness, since there is no problem with the carriage, it is time for the Seventh Prince and Prince Li to leave."

"Mm." Gu Rushuang put her hands on Li Jin's and Ying Yuan's shoulders, "Be careful on the road."

"Yes."

Both Li Jin and Li Jin nodded in unison, then got into the carriage.

Because Li Jin and the others were on a mission to deliver disaster relief food this time, Ying Zhengjing didn't let too many people know about it, and only arranged for Shen Chaoyan to deal with it. The other courtiers only knew that Li Jin and others would leave soon/day/day. I don't know.

"His Royal Highness, be careful."

Seeing that Gu Rushuang's body was tottering, Zhiqiu stepped forward to help her.

"I'm fine, but I'm just a little tired. I'll take a short rest." Gu Rushuang shook her head and asked calmly, "Zhiqiu, did you tell the emperor before you went to find Jin'er? Why didn't you see the emperor?"

It is a big deal for the prince to deliver disaster relief food, so Ying Zhengjing should come over to have a look.

"Go back to Your Highness, the Empress, the Emperor is with Concubine Chun Guifei, so he must come over here for free."

"Okay, I understand." Hearing that she went to Shen Qianxue's side, Gu Rushuang didn't ask further, "Zhiqiu, help me go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Congratulations to Her Majesty the Empress." Shen Chao bowed in words and deeds, but his face sank.

Hearing Zhiqiu's simple mention, Shen Chaoyan already guessed that Shen Qianxue did it on purpose, and thinking about Gu Rushuang's face, he couldn't help feeling angry that he hated iron for being weak.

What is Qianxue doing?On such a big matter as the prince escorting food, he deliberately competed for favor, wasn't it just a waste of time to talk about it?

Zhiqiu, who was helping Gu Rushuang away, inadvertently saw the blood on Gu Rushuang's lips, his back stiffened immediately, and he said nervously, "Your Highness, you...you..."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

"Can……"

Gu Rushuang wiped off the blood from the corner of her lips, "Zhiqiu, I'm fine."

"Yes."
