Back to Zero

After dinner, Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang accompanied the queen to have tea.The queen put down the teacup and said, "Concubine Rong and Lao Wu's affairs are almost settled, all that remains is to catch that Gu master. Before the dust settles, you still have to be careful.

"Emperor, don't worry, my son knows it well." Although he didn't personally participate in these matters, he also sent additional manpower. That Gu master never showed up, which really worried him. No, I didn’t get the fourth brother involved. Although he can’t make any waves by himself, we still have to guard against it.”

"Well, Chengrong is indeed a bit early. But it's good, if you get rid of one, it counts as one." The queen said.She grew up watching Jun Chengrong, she knew Jun Chengrong's temperament very well, and it was expected that he could not hold his breath.

"Emperor, my son is a bit strange." Ling Qiyang raised his eyes to look at the queen, "Concubine Rong and the fifth prince had such a big incident, why didn't the fourth prince beg for mercy? He was raised by concubine Rong anyway, even if it's useless to plead, Just try your best.”

The queen sighed slightly, "This matter...maybe it has something to do with the death of Concubine Chengyan's mother, and he probably did this because he knew the truth."

"Fourth Brother's concubine mother?" Jun Lixuan had no impression of this woman at all, she seemed to have passed away before he was born.

"Well. Chengyan's mother concubine is Concubine Shu. Your aunt Concubine Xiangui died prematurely because of her. On that day, the little servant beside Concubine Rong reported that the fourth prince was playing in the imperial garden. She ran into Concubine Xian, who is punishing the fourth prince. Concubine Shu rushed over immediately when she heard this." Speaking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little sad, how could she not hate that her sister was gone like this, "Actually it was The fourth prince accidentally fell into the water. Concubine Xian Gui happened to be walking in the garden. When she heard the call for help, she hurried to get someone to save him. However, Concubine Shu who rushed over thought that it was Concubine Xian Gui who sent the fourth prince into the water to punish the four princes. The prince bumped into her. He lost control and pushed Concubine Xian into the water. As a result, Concubine Xian gave birth prematurely, and the fetus was in an abnormal position, giving birth to Che'er and leaving."

Jun Lixuan frowned, "Is Concubine Shu out of her mind? Why don't you see it clearly?"

"Concubine Shu loves her son dearly. At the beginning, because the fourth prince was careless, she scratched her face with her nails, and she killed all those who took care of the fourth prince. What's more, seeing her son was soaking wet and lying on the bed dying. On the ground." Thinking of his younger sister in the early life, the palace felt that Concubine Shu's death and Concubine Rong's fate were deserved. The prince was killed, so he was not stabbed to death. But not long after, someone from the Leng Palace came to report that Concubine Shu committed suicide."

Ling Qiyang frowned slightly, according to Concubine Shu's affectionate temperament, even for the sake of the child, she would never kill herself.

"The emperor didn't want to pay attention to her life and death at all, so people buried the matter hastily. I asked people to take a look at her quietly. The strangle marks on her neck continued to both sides of her neck, and they were in a straight line. After being strangled to death, he hung it on the top of the beam, pretending to kill himself." The queen recalled the details at that time, "Although concubine Xiangui has a good relationship with the sixth palace, no one in this palace except this palace would want to kill concubine Shu. To avenge her. Since I didn't let someone do this, it can only be Concubine Rong. After all, the letter was reported by her palace servants, and the truth was falsely transmitted. It is obvious to get rid of Concubine Shu's heart Yes. But that little servant was also executed by the emperor, even if I want to investigate, there is no proof of death."

"It sounds like the Fourth Emperor hates Concubine Rong, and it makes sense not to intercede for them. After all, no matter how good Concubine Rong treats him, it is not as good as Concubine Shu treats him. Besides, there is Jun Chengxi, Rong Rong It is also impossible for concubine to treat him better than Jun Chengxi. Even if she is fighting for the throne, concubine Rong must be helping her son. Instead of letting them get in the way, it is better to come simply." Jun Lixuan analyzed.He can understand Jun Chengyan's thoughts, if it is to avenge his mother and concubine, there is nothing wrong with it.

"It's all retribution. If Concubine Rong hadn't been vicious, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Now that Concubine Ying was stabbed again, although Concubine Ying was at fault first and must be punished, but Concubine Rong's deliberate murder is also a crime." He cut off his own way of retreat. Although there were fierce fights in the harem, most of them used other people's hands to harm others, and no one would be foolish enough to do it themselves. Concubine Rong probably felt that there was no hope this time, so she wanted to make the fish die. "The queen showed a faint smile. This time, she really solved the two without a single soldier. How could she be unhappy.

"What you said is true. Now it depends on how the father will deal with it." Jun Lixuan said.Concubine Ying was at fault this time, and he was also a little worried whether his father would have sympathy for Concubine Rong because of this, and he would show his favor.

"After the matter has come to this, I will definitely not let them have a chance to make a comeback. This matter will be handled by the emperor, so you can rest assured." He understands Jun Lixuan's concerns, so why not her own concerns?

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang and left Yakun Palace.The emperor on Gu Yao's side seemed to have no intention of letting him go, and the two of them couldn't ask, so they asked the accompanying carriage to wait for Gu Yao in the palace, and they took the carriage in the palace back to the palace.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the servant ran out and said, "My lord, my concubine, Lord Yi and Lord Chong are here. I've been waiting for quite a while."

"It's so late, why are the third brother and the sixth brother here?" Ling Qiyang was helped out of the carriage by Jun Lixuan, he was a little puzzled in the center, presumably there must be something important.

"Go first." Jun Lixuan helped Ling Qiyang into the palace.

Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche were sitting in the living room drinking tea, and judging from their expressions, it didn't seem like anything serious had happened.Xiaoying dressed as usual and sat beside Junliche, but Mo Qingge was nowhere to be seen.

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother." The two entered the living room and called someone.

"I have seen Lord Lin, Princess Lin." Xiaoying stood up and saluted.

"No." Jun Lixuan waved his hands and asked, "Third Brother and Sixth Brother waited so late, are there any urgent matters?"

Jun Liyuan smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but Li Che is in a hurry. If this matter is not resolved tonight, I'm afraid he won't even be able to sleep."

Jun Liche didn't talk about him first, but asked: "I heard about the palace, how are you doing now?"

"It's nothing, just wait for the father to deal with it." Jun Lixuan sat on the chair and asked the servant to replace Ling Qiyang's tea with plum soup, and said: "I'll talk about this later, the sixth brother called the third brother to come, what is the matter?" Why?"

Jun Liche put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I want to marry Xiaoying, you two give me an idea and give him an identity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoying trembled in shock, the teacup in his hand overturned and fell to the ground, the tea spilled all over his body, Jun Liche quickly pulled him up, splashed the water off his body with his sleeve, and asked: "Is it too hot?"

Xiaoying came back to her senses, she didn't care if she was hot or not, she quickly knelt down and said, "My lord...I..."

Obviously Jun Liche didn't communicate with Xiaoying in advance, but Jun Lixuan and the others had already expected that Jun Liche would marry Xiaoying, but they didn't expect it so soon.

"What? You don't want to spend this life with me?" Jun Liche pulled Xiaoying up and asked with a smile.

Xiaoying shook her head, blushing and didn't say anything.

Ling Qiyang asked the servant to come and take Xiaoying to change clothes, so it's good to catch a cold with wet clothes.

"Leave this to me, as long as you don't run away." Jun Liche pushed him with a smile, "Go and change clothes, don't catch a cold."

Xiaoying nodded obediently, and followed the waiter to the guest room to change clothes.

"Any ideas?" Jun Liche asked with a smile after watching Xiaoying leave.

Jun Lixuan thought for a while and asked, "What kind of family background do you want to arrange for Xiaoying?"

"It doesn't have to be particularly high, as long as the lintel is clean." Thinking of what the emperor said before, and thinking that the emperor still remembered his mother and concubine's entrustment, as long as he likes it, both the emperor and the emperor should not object.But in terms of identity, there must be some work. Firstly, the identity of the shadow guard is not visible, and secondly, I also want Xiaoying not to be inferior in the future.

"We are all clan relatives here, so it's not easy to arrange Xiaoying in. If you reveal your secrets, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor." Jun Lixuan thought about it.

"That's why I came to discuss with you," Jun Liyuan said.He also considered this before, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Ling Qiyang was silent for a while, and then said: "If the sixth brother doesn't dislike it, let Xiaoying join my father's family." His father's family now only has the master besides himself, but this matter has not been made public.So it's okay to lie that Xiaoying is a child of the parent's line, since there is no way to find out anyway.In addition, now that my father is the Emperor Gaoming Qingjun, he can be regarded as establishing his own family and has a reputation, so it will not be inferior to let Xiaoying enter the ancestral tree.

"It would be great if that's the case." Hearing what he said, Jun Liche's eyes lit up, "Do you have any relatives over there?"

Ling Qiyang shook his head, "There is no one else." Presumably, as long as Master doesn't tell, no one will know.When Emperor Yanxi abdicates in the future, this matter will be even more harmless.

"I know that if you do this, you will definitely have to take risks. I don't want you and Yue Qingjun to be in trouble, so even if this matter is helping me, you and Yue Qingjun have to think it through." Jun Liche is not A selfish person, Ling Qiyang is willing to help him, he is very happy, but he has to be more thoughtful.

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I will think about this matter carefully with my father, and I will tell you after the result. It is best to take my father's path now, after all, no one else can be trusted." He naturally I don't want to, let alone put my father in danger.

"Okay." Junli Che nodded.

Afterwards, Jun Lixuan told the two of them again the reason why Concubine Ying was injured and the matter of the fourth prince, mother and concubine.Hearing the cause of his mother's concubine's death, Jun Liche's eyes darkened a little, and he said: "My mother's concubine's death has nothing to do with the fourth child, but Concubine Rong, I can't tolerate him any longer."

"In the palace, death is easier for them than life." Jun Liyuan said: "The best way is to make their life worse than death."

"What third brother said is true." Jun Liche nodded.

Xiaoying changed her clothes and came out. Seeing that it was getting late, Jun Liche got up with Jun Liyuan and said goodbye.Jun Lixuan sent people to the door, thinking that if this matter could be accomplished, the empress would probably have to talk to her so that she could speak well for Jun Liche.

"What are you thinking?" Ling Qiyang looked up at him.

Jun Lixuan said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's late today, let's talk to Dad about this tomorrow."

"Okay." Ling Qiyang nodded, and walked in with Jun Lixuan holding hands, "Recently, there are many facts in the palace, and sometimes I can't help thinking that no matter who takes that position in the future, it may be difficult to avoid such a situation. Bloody storm."

Jun Lixuan smiled and squeezed Ling Qiyang's hand tightly, "It doesn't matter who sits in that position, I only need you."

Ling Qiyang lowered his head and laughed, "If someone hears it, it must be said that you have no ambitions."

"My ambition does not lie in the court, but in you." In his first life, he took everything lightly. Only Ling Qiyang, who had the least light on him in the previous life, has become extremely important in this life...

"Me too..." Ling Qiyang responded with a smile.

In this life, having each other's words is enough...
