I was a salted fish in ancient times

In the past, when seeing Liu Jingyi crying, no matter what the reason was, Xiao Jin always stepped forward to appease and inquire, but now he just watched Liu Jingyi cry quietly without any disturbance.In the past, he believed that the tears of the people around him were transparent and the emotions contained in them were true, but he was different inside.Now he knows very clearly that sometimes there are calculations hidden in the transparent tears.

Xiao Jin said: "The girl next to you is indeed very strict with her mouth, but Gu still found out that her parents, brothers and sisters are all working for the Liu family, so she dare not talk nonsense."

Liu Jingyi's tears kept falling, she knew that since Xiao Jin opened his mouth, the matter must have been clarified.

It doesn't make any sense for her to hide it, but she still has to say what needs to be said.

So she took a deep breath and wiped away her tears and said: "When the prince was out hunting in the palace, my concubine received a letter from my father saying that someone was malicious and wanted to do something to my brother who was exiled in a bitter cold place. Only by protecting my elder brother can I avoid this difficulty. My elder brother lives in a bitter cold place, and his life is hard, so there are some cases where he can’t make it through. It’s just that the concubine is already old, if he suddenly hears that his elder brother has something to do, he will definitely be emotionally unstable, and give birth prematurely and difficultly. One corpse and two lives are possible. He was afraid that I would hear false news, so he wrote to remind me that I must not listen to the rumors of the East Palace and take good care of my body. My father found out that this matter was related to the Xu family , but there is no conclusive evidence, so I can only let the concubine endure."

"Although the concubine is extremely stupid, she has been in charge of the inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace for some time. The concubine can more or less hear what the people of Xu Liangdi's palace talk about in private. But all the words were spread by the palace people, and they have nothing to do with Xu Liangdi. If the concubine really wants to be serious because of this, if the maid does not admit it, the concubine will be said to be something out of nothing. But if the concubine is angry because of this, If the fetal gas is moved, it has nothing to do with others."

"It's not that the concubine can't tolerate Xu Liangdi, but that we simply can't tolerate each other. For the sake of her own status and the child in her womb, the concubine thought of how to teach Xu Liangdi a lesson. But the concubine didn't deliberately hit the railing, Taking the child's life to frame Xu Liangdi is just..."

"It just happened to be a premature birth that day, so I just pushed the boat along." Xiao Jin said.

Liu Jingyi closed her eyes, tears rolling down her eyes.

Xiao Jin said: "This is one of the disappointments. Secondly, Xiao Xuedun has been sick repeatedly. Why?"

Liu Jingyi shuddered all over and opened her eyes.

Xiao Jin said: "After I found out about those things, I became suspicious of Xiaoxuedun's condition, so I sent people to watch you all the time. Xiaoxuedun's body is weak and can't see the cold wind, so I can only take care of it, but you know that as long as she feels a little uncomfortable, I'm going to see her alone."

"Of course, you don't dare to go too far, and you are also afraid of hurting the child, so you just let her get a little cold and cough twice every time. But after all, you are still using the child to gain the orphan's attention. Is she a person with nothing? Children who understand, if something really happens, how will you face her?"

Liu Jingyi sat on the ground slumped, she said: "The concubine does not want the prince's heart, how will the child live with such a mother in the future? In the future, His Royal Highness will have more and more children, and where will she be placed?"

Her thinking was unstable, she was too flustered, and she mainly made mistakes.So she eagerly wants to keep Xiao Jin with her child, and then she will have another son logically, then her position as the crown princess will be stable.If the truth about Xiaoxuedun's premature birth is found out in the future, when her position is already stable, the prince will just turn a blind eye.

Xiao Jin said: "Come here, the princess is not feeling well, take the child to the Chenhui Palace." Chenhui Palace is where he lives, and he raised the child himself.

Liu Jingyi knelt on the ground and pulled Xiao Jin's clothes, crying: "The concubine is wrong, don't take the child away... It's cold now, the child is still sick, and the wind can't blow. The prince wants to take the child away. When the spring warms up in March, will it be alright, the ministers and concubines will have nothing to say when the time comes."

Xiao Jin didn't look at her or pay attention to her, broke free and left.

The child was tightly wrapped by the nanny, and was quickly brought back to the Chenhui Hall, leaving Liu Jingyi's faint cry in the wind.

After Xiao Jin left Liu Jingyi's place, he went to Xu Liangdi's place again.

Xu Liangdi is making small clothes for the unborn baby herself.

When Xu Liangdi saw Xiao Jin, she was overjoyed, hurriedly asked someone to deliver tea, and then stood aside nervously.In her opinion, Xiao Jin's ability to come here on his own initiative meant that Xiao Jin had found out the truth of the matter.

She never harmed Liu Jingyi.

Xiao Jin didn't drink tea and didn't sit down, he said: "There is a maid who serves you next to you, which you brought into the palace from home. I heard that she grew up with you. Although she is a maid, you Never regarded her as a servant."

Xu Liangdi nodded: "Yes, the concubine has always regarded Hongying as her younger sister."

"In that case, should she listen to you or your Xu family?" Xiao Jin said lightly.

Xu Liangdi didn't know why, but she still replied quietly: "She followed the concubine and entered the East Palace. She is also the prince's maid, so naturally she wants to obey the orders of the prince and the concubine."

"But I found out that she has been very close to Xu's family recently. Every time you Xu's family comes, she will come forward to send them off. Every time, she has to say a few words to those people and hand things back to Xu's family. Gu I want to know if this is what you mean, or what the Xu family means?"

Xu Liangdi's complexion changed drastically, and her body swayed for a while, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Prince, please calm down, this concubine will never dare to let people spy on or betray the whereabouts of the prince. As for Hongying, this concubine also does not believe that she dares to do so .”

Xiao Jin looked at her quietly: "Your biological mother died young, and your father's current wife is filling in the house, but it is said that your current mother loves you very much. Gu also found out that your mother valued Hongying very much, so I returned it to her parents Bought a house. Hongying is very arrogant and always says some high-spirited things behind others, are you deliberately allowing her to jump around and plan to get rid of her with the help of the princess or Gu?"

Xu Liangdi was slightly stunned, before she could say anything, Xiao Jin said again: "You are smart, otherwise you wouldn't be blessed by the queen mother. I ask you alone, do you want to be a princess?"

Xu Liangdi took a breath, stroked her stomach and said: "The concubine only wishes for peace, and doesn't dare to think about anything else."

Xiao Jin glanced at her and said, "Is this the truth?"

Xu Liangdi nodded, Xiao Jin didn't say anything else, so he left.

After she left, Xu Liangdi heaved a sigh of relief, her legs were a little limp.

She stood up slowly and sat down. As a woman in the inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace, no one would want to climb to the position of concubine.

But she knew better in her heart that people also need to see clearly the situation they are in. There are some things to think about, but don't touch something until you are absolutely sure.

She has passed this test today.

But she was a little concerned about Xiao Jin's last question in her heart. Why did Xiao Jin ask her if she wanted to be a princess?

These words are not like a test, but if she thinks about it, can Xiao Jin give her the position of Crown Princess?

It is impossible to know this kind of thing without thinking about it.

After Xiao Jin left, he stood in the back garden for a long time, then lifted his foot and left.

***

The seal of the second □□ hall was opened, and the emperor met his courtiers for the first time after the New Year. As soon as the festive words were finished, Xiao Jin said that he had an excerpt to play.Chang Le took his booklet and handed it to the emperor. The emperor opened it, and saw Xiao Jin writing on the booklet, saying that he would abolish the position of princess and concubine because Liu Jingyi framed the emperor's heir.

The emperor looked at the folder up and down, and then closed it.He glanced at Xiao Jin, stood up and said, "Retire."

This dynasty was so short that all civil and military officials felt that they had just met the emperor, and then they were thrown away by the emperor.

The person who caused this incident was Xiao Jin.

Some ministers gave a private wink to their faction, they really wanted to know how Xiao Jin provoked the emperor.

The most important thing is what consequences this incident will cause. The emperor will not favor the prince as much as before.

Everyone had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask Xiao Jin.

The only person who dared to squeeze to Xiao Jin's side was Xiao Shan.

He pulled up Xiao Jin who was still kneeling there, and the two walked to a place where no one was there. Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Jin's face and said, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jin glanced at her and said, "I'll be the one who will abolish the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan understood that Xiao Jin had already figured out the mess in the East Palace.Xiao Shan had no position to speak on these matters, so he said oh.

Xiao Jin said: "Actually, I don't understand why things turned out like this. She is small-minded, I know, but I try to be tolerant. Am I not good enough for her?"

Seeing his somewhat confused appearance, Xiao Shan couldn't help but said: "Second brother, I think being nice to a person is in conflict with countless beauties around you. You can't want all the sincerity of a person, and at the same time want to keep all kinds of beauties in it. Be around. As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be disputes. If you want to be truly favored, you should only pet one person in your life;

"My words may not sound very nice." The most important thing is that Xiao Jin and the others saw and heard the lives of wives and concubines when they were born, and the education that women received since childhood is also to be generous to concubines and so on.

Nor is it practical to forcefully change their minds.

So Xiao Shan said again: "Look at Royal Father, there are countless beauties in his harem, but including the queen mother, which concubine dares to cause trouble in the harem so easily?"

How much the emperor loved the glamorous Wenmeiren at that time. After the incident in Jiangnan, Zhang Ruozhi and Wenmeiren were implicated.

Wasn't Wen Meiren immediately thrown into the cold palace, and never saw the light of day again.

Concubine Xian gave birth to Xiao Xian, but something happened and she was imprisoned directly.

Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Shan thoughtfully and said, "So you only plan to pet and chase one in your life?"

Xiao Shan nodded without hesitation: "There are too many people and it's too noisy. It's enough for me to have Xie chasing one person. We share the same mind, and it's good to live like this for a lifetime, a couple for a lifetime."

Looking at the smile in the corner of Xiao Shan's eyes, Xiao Jin knew that what he said was true.

Xiao Jin's heart trembled slightly. He knew that Xiao Shan's personality was weirder than ordinary people, but he didn't know that Xiao Shan still had such thoughts.

There is only one person for a lifetime.

He had never thought about it before, and he even felt that his mind was a little messed up.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Shan said again: "Second brother, I can say whatever I think in my heart, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Xiao Jin was about to say something, when Chang Le walked over from the side, he saw Xiao Jin from a distance and said: "His Royal Highness, stay a while, the emperor summons."

Xiao Shan hurriedly said: "Second brother, then I will leave the palace first. Xie Zhui went to Xie's house to visit elder brother today, and I will rush to Xie's house to pick him up."

Xiao Jin responded.

Xiao Shan took advantage of the trend and slipped away.

Chang Le looked at Xiao Shan who was walking fast, and thought to himself, among the few princes, Xiao Shan didn't like to go to the emperor, but the emperor still missed him from time to time.

***

When Xiao Jin left the palace, Xie Zhui had already arrived at Xie's mansion, and also saw Xie Chen who had just returned to Beijing.

The moment he saw Xie Chen, Xie Zhui's expression was not very good.

Xie Chen still wore white silk around his eyes, but he was much thinner than when he left in Jiangnan.

Now Xie Chen had only a handful of bones left, Xie Zhui didn't dare to touch him, fearing that his bones would be broken if touched.

Xie Chen looked at the place where Xiao Shan was, and said, "Why don't you make a sound when you're here?"

Xie Zhui suppressed the pain in his heart and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Xie Chen chuckled, and said lightly, "If you want to get rid of the root of the disease, you will have to suffer."

Xie Zhui was taken aback when he heard this, and then became happy, he said, "Brother, are your eyes healed now?"

Xie Chen said: "I met a famous doctor in Yangzhou, he helped me draw out the Gu worm in my eyes, as for whether it can recover or not, it will take a period of recuperation to know."

At this time, Gu Ning brought the medicine, which smelled bad and came in a big bowl.

Xie Chen wrinkled his nose, but still took it and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that Xie Zhui was frowning all the time, Gu Ning thought that he had some thoughts about the medicine, so he rarely took the initiative to explain: "Young master suffered a lot to lure the Gu worms, and the middle was extremely dangerous, and the young master fell into a coma for more than a year Yue, now she returned to the capital as soon as her health improved, and she was also afraid that Wang Jun would worry..."

"Gu Ning." Xie Chen frowned, and couldn't help but said: "It's all over, what are you talking about?"

Xie Zhui said: "Brother won't let him talk, let me guess, I'm afraid I will feel even more uncomfortable." He said that there was something wrong with the letter Xie Chen sent a year ago, but he didn't expect this person to be in a coma for so long.

"I'd be happy to lure that thing out and let me suffer again." Xie Chen said.

Gu Ning saw that there was still a trace of medicine residue left at the corner of his mouth, so he took a thin towel from his arms and wiped it for him.

After finishing these, Gu Ning left with the medicine bowl in hand.

Xie Chen changed the subject to Xie Zhui: "Do you have a child?"

Xie Zhui responded.

Xie Chen laughed softly: "I really didn't expect it. When I woke up, I was shocked when I heard the news. Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

Xie Zhui said: "What do you say if you miss it, don't miss it, big brother's safety comes first."

Xie Chen said: "Don't worry, the person who lured me to Gu worms has come back with me and lives in this mansion. With him here, my eyes will definitely be fine."

Xie Zhui said: "Since he is the benefactor of the elder brother, I should pay my respects."

Xie Chen said with a smile: "He has a weird temper and doesn't see outsiders easily. Wait for a while. By the way, Gu Ning has checked all the things that the prince asked me to investigate. I will give it to you in a while, and you leave it to the prince..."

Xie Zhui: "Today is the first day of the court, the prince is not lazy, he will come over after the court, the elder brother will leave it to the prince."

Xie Shen nodded.

Xie Zhui said well, Xiao Shan will come soon.

Hearing that Xie Chen's eyes were almost healed, he smiled and said, "That's great, if you need any medicine, brother just ask."

Xie Chen said yes to him.

I don't know if it was Xiao Shan's illusion, but he always felt that Xie Chen was very polite and alienated to him when he returned to Beijing this time.
