Queen is the top

He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing to the Moon Gate of Jinyuan, not far from Yuhua Terrace, asked Yun Donghai, Lu Fu and others to wait outside the garden, and brought Shi Yuqing into the garden. Waiting in the garden, holding another cloak in his hand, he was blessed when he saw He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing.

Before Shi Yuqing had time to ask her why she was waiting here, He Jingyi reached out and gently untied his cloak, handed it to Qiu Zhi, and put another ivory white cloak in her hand on him and tied it with a ribbon.

Qiuzhi took the cloak he had replaced and blessed Fu's body, saw He Jingyi waved his hand, then stepped back and left.

Shi Yuqing looked down at the cloak on her body, "Okay, why did you change it?"

He Jingyi smiled and held him by the hand, "The night breeze is cold, that one is too thin."

Shi Yuqing pursed her lips, moved his heart, and smiled softly: "That's how it is."

Lanterns were hung on the corridor in Jin Garden, and there were fireworks. Although it was dark at night, the garden was as bright as day. He Jingyi led Shi Yuqing around a rockery, and then walked for a while. Qing was completely lost, so he followed He Jingyi without asking any questions.

After a while, came and brought a stone forest in front of it. The stone forest was not big, surrounded by rocks of different shapes, and few people passed by on weekdays. At this time, there were no lights at night, only the light of fireworks shone in the forest. He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing to the forest. On the tallest rock in the sky, He Jingyi raised his head, as if he was getting closer to the fireworks in the sky.

The night wind was blowing slowly, and He Jingyi pulled Shi Yuqing's messy hair behind her ears. Shi Yuqing smiled and said, "I only saw it in books before, but now I see it with my own eyes. It's really very beautiful."

He Jingyi smiled slightly, "It's a pity that it is fleeting, no matter how beautiful it is, it will only last for a moment."

Shi Yuqing heard the indescribable loneliness in these words, and turned to look at him, "What's wrong, Jingyi."

He Jingyi looked at his jade-like cheeks, embraced him and let him lean into his arms, "It's nothing, I just thought of someone."

Shi Yuqing blinked, "Who did Jing Yi think of?"

Unidentified emotions surfaced in He Jingyi's eyes, "He Zhaocheng, the holy prince."

Shi Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, wondering why he thought of his deceased emperor uncle so well, he raised his head to look at He Jingyi, and listened to him say: "The crown prince, the holy prince, likes fireworks very much. Back then, he was deeply loved by the late emperor. On his birthday, the late emperor would order people to light up the sky with fireworks until he was imprisoned."

Shi Yuqing was a little sad when she heard this, "I heard that the Crown Prince Shengzun was framed."

He Jingyi's eyes were filled with fierceness, "Of course he was framed. The crown prince is so filial, how could he want to kill the late emperor? It's still a ridiculous witchcraft technique."

Shi Yuqing faintly sensed his anger when he brought up this matter. He didn't know about the matter of the Crown Prince Shengzun. He remembered that the Crown Prince Shengzun passed away before. According to He Jingyi's age, the two should have never met.

Shi Yuqing thought for a while and only thought that He Jingyi was an uncle, and said softly: "Jingyi, don't be sad."

He Jingyi lowered his head and saw Shi Yuqing's worried expression, his brows slightly relaxed, "I'm fine, I just feel aggrieved about this matter."

Shi Yuqing nodded and looked at the sky, "The crown prince is sure to live in a happy heaven."

He Jingyi looked at him trying to appease himself, smiled, "You still believe this."

Seeing him smiling, Shi Yuqing was relieved, "Why don't you believe me, the old lady told me when I was a child that good people will go to the sky to be gods and live happily, and the crown prince must be a god."

He Jingyi was amused by his words, and hugged him into his arms, "You just need to be carefree like this forever."

Shi Yuqing looked at him ignorantly, although she didn't understand why he said that suddenly, but she still felt warm when she heard it, and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing to stand on the rock for a while, chatted for a while, then said that the night wind was too cold, so he took him and walked back.

As soon as the two entered Jinyuan, they saw Yun Donghai and Lu Fu rushing over with a few young eunuchs, they stopped before they ran, and said anxiously: "Prince, Princess, you are back. "

Shi Yuqing wondered: "What happened?"

Yun Donghai shook the whisk in his hand, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon you two, it seems that something important happened."

He Jingyi hummed lightly, and said, "Understood, I'm going to see my father right away."

The two entered the Shoukang Palace, and the atmosphere was obviously different from usual. He Jingyi took Shi Yuqing into the side hall of the Yuxiong Palace. The emperor was sitting in it, beside the worried-looking empress and Hui Hui who was crying. concubine.

Kneeling in front of the emperor was He Mingcheng and a beautiful girl. Shi Yuqing had never seen her before, seeing her kneeling with the eldest prince, she was secretly curious about her identity.

Apart from Eunuch Xu, there were no other eunuchs and female officials present in the palace, and there were only these few people in the room. He Jingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing that his father wanted to minimize the big incident.

Sure enough, after He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing finished their salutes, the emperor waved his hand to let them sit down.

"Yi'er, do you know what happened?"

He Jingyi nodded with his usual expression. Cheng Yingzong looked at his elder son kneeling on the ground and the sweat dripping from his forehead, before he spoke for a long time, "This matter is about the dignity of the royal family. I don't want the matter to expand."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids, remembering the private conversation with He Mingcheng just now.

Although he favored He Jingyi, He Mingcheng was also his blood. As a father, no matter how wrong he did, he couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he asked him if he really liked a pure beauty, he could give her as a gift, but He Mingcheng shook his body and decided desperately The pure beauty seduced him, so how dare he not have an affair with his father's woman.

Cheng Yingzong didn't like people who were cowardly and dared not take responsibility the most, so he was naturally very displeased with them.

Shi Yuqing sat quietly at the side, muttering in her heart: What kind of riddles are father and Jing Yi playing?I can't understand at all.

"Queen, the pure beauty is at your disposal."

The queen nodded immediately when she heard the words: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at He Jingyi, recalling the scene at that time, the guards around He Mingcheng came to report that they found someone practicing witchcraft in the depths of Jin Garden, and the eldest prince had already brought people to arrest him.

Cheng Yingzong hated the word witchcraft the most in his life, and when he heard it, he took the queen to check it out, and Concubine Hui also went with her when she heard it.

As a result, when he got there, he didn't see anything related to witchcraft, but instead saw the pure beauty and He Mingcheng tightly hugging each other.

Cheng Yingzong narrowed his eyes. He remembered that the cloak on the pure beauty was originally worn by Shi Yuqing. I understand everything when I think about it.

He sighed, and gave Concubine Hui a hard look, which made her tremble.

"That's the end of today's matter. I don't want to hear any gossip in the palace." Cheng Yingzong reached out and patted the Queen's hand, "Queen, I have to work hard for you."

The queen nodded and smiled slightly: "The concubine understands."

After Cheng Yingzong finished speaking, he glanced at Concubine Hui, "I hate to use the name of witchcraft to frame people the most in my life. If there is such a vicious person in the palace, I will definitely not forgive him!"

He Mingcheng trembled when he heard this, Concubine Hui's hand holding the embroidered handkerchief trembled uncontrollably, she lowered her head and dared not speak a word.

"The eldest prince has done such an inappropriate thing and went back to think about it behind closed doors. There will be no need to go to the Ministry of Punishment during this time."

He Mingcheng's heart was shocked, his eyebrows frowned, and he lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, father."

Concubine Hui wanted to intercede, but Cheng Yingzong stopped her with a stern look: "You'd better worry about yourself first." Concubine Hui was too frightened to say anything.

"I've been making trouble for half a day, and I'm tired. You all go back." Cheng Yingzong said to He Mingcheng and Concubine Hui, "The empress can stay with me tonight."

The queen was overjoyed, and blessed her body excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

What an honor it was to stay in the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Hui twisted the handkerchief tightly with her fingers, several blue veins appeared on her jealous forehead.

No matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to follow He Mingcheng out of the side hall.

Cheng Yingzong glanced at He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing again, "Yi'er is tired from all the busy work for my birthday, let's go back to rest earlier with Yuqing."

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing stood up and said, "Yes, Father."

Cheng Yingzong looked at He Jingyi and said, "After all, he is my child."

He Jingyi raised his head and looked at Cheng Yingzong with apologetic eyes, and smiled slightly: "I understand."

Cheng Yingzong patted him on the shoulder, "With you here, I am relieved, it's getting late, go back and rest soon."

He Jingyi nodded, held Shi Yuqing's hand, bowed to the emperor and empress before retreating.
