The prince and his wife stole the limelight at the big wedding, and the enthusiasm lasted for more than a month.The clothes that Ye Zhaoling wore were out of stock, the jewelry he wore were out of stock, and even the eye drops he took during the break were picked up by netizens and pulled out of the same style.

In the month after the marriage, all members of the royal family were not willing to be lonely, and all kinds of lace news came out one after another, making the public dizzy.

First, the respected and respected Master Sinongwen was exposed by the media for being inappropriate after drinking.When the news first came out, Mr. Da Sinong immediately issued an article to deny and refute the rumors, but the next night, the video of Wen Bin running around the Queen's throne with his bare ass/ass shocked the Internet.

Mr. Wen's crumpled ass/butt was talked about by everyone for several days, and it was not briefly forgotten until a new hot incident appeared.

This new hotspot is that the Royal Security Office disclosed the assassination incident in Yaoqing Palace.It is said that the situation that day was very urgent. Fortunately, Jingnan Hou discovered it in time and stopped it bravely, so that no catastrophe was caused.

Until the news was announced, the Royal Security Office did not find out the identity information of the assassin, and the mastermind behind it was even more unknown.Just when people had different opinions, the assassin died of a sudden heart attack in prison.

Royal conspiracy theories are always a hot topic.Some people say that the killer's death was not an accident, but that he failed to act and was silenced.Many people agree with this point of view, saying that the mastermind behind the scenes is Prince Rong Zheng.But not long after, new rumors appeared, saying that this was a self-directed and self-acted performance by the imperial party against the East Palace.

No matter what kind of speculation, there is no effective evidence to support it.The assassination of the empress has become an unsolved case, and there will never be a day when the truth will come to light.However, the prince's reputation was still affected by conspiracy theories, and his support among the public plummeted.

No matter how turbulent the outside public opinion is, the life in the palace remains the same.The empress was happy, the Yaoqing palace was locked early as soon as night fell, no matter who came, they would not be seen.

But there were some exceptions on this day. As soon as twelve o'clock at night, Pearl came to the gate with several attendants and opened the locked palace gate in person.

As the most capable female official around the empress, Pearl didn't need to bother her with such a trivial matter as opening the palace gate.She came out in person tonight, which shows that the people outside the door are valued by the empress.

Sure enough, when the door opened, Zhong Yu was standing outside the palace gate.

Pearl bowed respectfully, and said to Zhong Yu: "My lord, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

When Zhong Yu followed Pearl into the palace, the queen was stepping on a low sandalwood stool to feed the fish.She was wearing silk dragon-pattern pajamas, apricot satin flower embroidered shoes, and her jet-black hair was casually tied into a bun.

She held a small transparent crystal bowl in her hand. There was no water in the bowl, and various small fish could be faintly seen tumbling restlessly.

The small fish in the bowl are just food for the arowana. The queen's arowana has a long history and is said to be 40 years old.The reason why its life span is higher than that of its kind is probably because it was born in the royal family and never eats ordinary fish food, but only feeds with various fresh live fish.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu's gaze involuntarily rested on the dragon fish for a moment.

"You're here, sit down wherever you want." The queen heard the footsteps, and turned her head to look at Zhong Yu.She stretched out her slender fingers to pick and choose in the crystal bowl, and finally picked up a small red and white fish and threw it into the fish tank.

This kind of fish is familiar to Zhong Yu, and it is called red mint angelfish.Only a few are caught worldwide each year, and each one is worth a high-end sports car.

It's a pity that His Majesty's pampered arowana was not interested in this little thing. It swung its tail and swam around the angelfish for a long time before reluctantly opening its mouth and biting off the little fish's head.

The picky eating of the arowana seemed to have troubled the empress until the arowana ate up all the fish in the tank before she put down the crystal bowl and sat down on top of Zhong Yu.

"You did a good job." The empress cleaned her hands and said to Zhong Yu: "Those flies in the Eastern Palace are all-pervasive, and they have indeed caused me a lot of trouble."

Zhong Yu designed to capture Li Weidong this time. Although it could not be said that he had wiped out the entire intelligence department of the East Palace, he had lost one of the most capable agents, which would somewhat make them fearful of the Queen in the future.

"Zhong Yu has failed His Majesty's trust." Obviously, the Imperial Teacher was not satisfied with the result: "Li Weidong refused to let go of his mouth for a long time, and finally failed to convince him that the crown prince ordered the assassination behind the scenes."

Li Weidong is a man, since he was arrested, Zhong Yu threatened and lured him, tried all means to make him accept the title of assassin for the crown prince.

"You are a person who is too demanding of yourself. You always want to do things in one step." The queen sat on her seat, stretched out her fingers and nodded Zhong Yu: "The ability of the East Palace should not be underestimated." If you want to completely bring down the prince, you have to do it slowly, and you can't act too hastily."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhong Yu said indifferently, wondering if he had listened to the Queen's words.

It is not advisable to drink tea at night, so Zhenzhu served a three-flavored soothing soup to help sleep.The queen waved her hand, indicating that she would give it to the national teacher first.

Seeing Pearl delivering Anshen Decoction to the State Teacher, the Empress smiled and said to Zhong Yu: "It's because you figured out how to use the Marquis of Jingnan to set up a trap. With Zheng'er's temperament, we will definitely have a rift with him in the future."

"It just so happens that we have this opportunity, and we can test this new Marquis by the way." Zhong Yu shook his head, remembering Ye Zhaoling's performance, and said slightly mockingly: "He first offended Mr. Wen with his words and deeds, and then he didn't say anything. He fell into the trap without any accident. It seems that he is not a smart person, and he cannot be the help of the Eastern Palace. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"It's too early to say that. He can take down Rong Zheng, so he is not an easy guy. But in the end, he is just a small person, and it is not worth our trouble. The main reason why I called you here today is that there is still one thing I don't know." The queen praised Picking up the soup bowl, he took a sip and said, "Li Weidong must die, but I have already arranged for Wang Qingchun to be in charge of his interrogation until he spits out valuable information. Why did you kill him in advance?"

The queen's tone was very calm, and it was difficult to tell whether it was doubt or blame in her words.This Wang Qingchun is a well-known "cruel official" in Yaoqing Palace. If a person falls into his hands, he will have to shed several layers of skin if he does not die.During his tenure, there were several incidents of torture and death of people.

Zhong Yu didn't touch the soup that Pearl presented to him. He put the soup bowl aside and said unhurriedly: "It is reported that Li Weidong's wife suffered from cancer three years ago and was sent abroad for treatment by the crown prince. But We can't find relevant evidence, and we can't prove that he has a relationship with the East Palace." After finishing speaking, he looked up at the Queen, and continued: "Li Weidong is very loyal to the prince, and it is impossible to betray the East Palace. Since there is no information from him, how about Let him play the last role. At this moment in time, Li Weidong died for no reason in prison, which only increased the prince's suspicion."

After Zhong Yu met Li Weidong, Li Weidong, between loyalty and filial piety, chose to end his life with the poison left by Zhong Yu.

"It's still you who is thoughtful." The departure of a life, in the eyes of the empress, is as unremarkable as falling flowers and dead leaves. She nodded appreciatively, and said to Zhong Yu: "Okay, it's getting late, these days have been hard work Now, let Pearl send you back to rest."

***

Ye Zhaoling knew that he was about to die.

The fire on the Wenxintai has been burning for more than 100 days, and there is still no intention of going out.He sat peacefully in the fire, letting the fire consume his flesh and blood.

Every inch of his skin was crazily screaming for pain, and his consciousness began to sink into chaos. He was like a walking dead, unable to make any sound.

Finally, the fire light slowly dimmed, and the last trace of life left with a wisp of smoke, Ye Zhaoling let himself fall down.

It was not until this moment that he obtained the long-lost relief.

——However, this time he didn't catch his breath for too long. A golden magic circle appeared on the smooth stone ground. This strange and unpredictable magic circle quickly penetrated into his body like vines growing from the ground.

Ye Zhaoling, who had already been burned beyond recognition by the fire, slowly opened his eyes.The bloody body recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Where the magic circle went, the ends of the limbs that had been melted by the fire began to grow again.

He knew that a new round of reincarnation had begun.

The fire starts to burn again, the familiar pain sets in, the torment peaks before long, then slows down, but never dies.

--why me.Looking at the raging flames, Ye Zhaoling asked countless times in her heart: Why me.

Suddenly, Ye Zhao felt that there was a void under his feet, and the questioning platform collapsed suddenly.He raised his head abruptly, and what caught his eyes were bookshelves full of ancient books.

The breathing has not yet calmed down, and the pain in memory still remains in the nerves.Ye Zhaoling turned her head to look at a pool of lake water outside the window, and then suddenly realized that it was a dream.

Right now he is in Rong Zheng's study, the books spread out on the table are blown around by the wind, it is no longer the page he opened before falling asleep.The ink dripped onto the rice paper on the table, and even his plain white sleeves were stained black.

That's right, Ye Zhaoling finally sorted out his confused memories, and he came to Rong Zheng's study early this morning to copy "Tongji of Yili".

"Yi Li Tong Ji" is an ancestral precept written by one of Rong Zheng's ancestors. Its central idea is to educate his descendants to govern with diligence and benevolent.

Ye Zhaoling has copied countless fake articles like this these days.After the week-long wedding process ended, Ye Zhaoling and Rong Zheng only went to Yaoqing Palace to greet her once, and he stayed in the prince's study for the rest of the time.Every day, there would be some old men with white beards who talked about everything and bombarded him indiscriminately according to time slots, and they even pretended to let Ye Zhaoling learn royal etiquette.

After nearly a month of "studying", Ye Zhaoling realized that Rong Zheng's family really produced many great writers, and he might not be able to read their masterpieces in another 30 years.

Ye Zhaoling was naturally aware of Rong Zheng's purpose in doing this, but it was just to use it up and "put him in the cold" in disguise.

At this moment, the mobile phone not far away suddenly rang.When Ye Zhaoling stood up, he accidentally knocked over the brush washer, which made the table even more messy.

The call is from Li Qiuqiu. Li Qiuqiu has recently had enough addiction to the royal family and relatives, and he can't restrain himself from the moment he opens his mouth: "Brother, how are you, how are you doing?"

"What else can I do." Ye Zhaoling impatiently threw the brush on the table, and the tip of the pen immediately stamped a big mark on the snow-white rice paper: "I am learning the way of being a king every day, and I strive to be able to go there next year." Participate in the emperor's election."

After Li Qiu's ascension to the heavens, he became politically conscious, and he was shocked when he heard the words: "Brother, you must never do it! Rebellion is a felony that requires beheading!"

Ye Zhaoling sneered, opened the door and walked into Rong Zheng's library.It is not appropriate to say that it is a library, it is simply a small library.The bookshelves that go straight to the ceiling are next to each other, and you can't see the end at a glance.On the shelves are not only collections of various books, but also jade and antiques, jewelry and goldware, and various art collections are even more breathtaking.

According to Ye Zhaoling's superficial understanding of Rong Zheng, most of these things should have been donated by others, no wonder everyone has wanted to be emperor throughout the ages.

Li Qiuqiu was still on the other end of the phone and said with emotion: "You really sacrificed yourself and illuminated us." Then she smiled "hehe" and said, "Do you know how many international first-line brands come to you every day? Brother's business has been softened."

With Ye Zhaoling entering the royal family, Lingjing Media also took off.With such a great popularity, everyone wanted to rub off on it, and Ye Zhaoling's juniors, who ranked from second to ninth, became the favorites in the eyes of the brand, except himself.

Rong Zheng is really not a thing, not only did Ye Zhaoling's freedom of life be restricted after marriage, even his every phone call and email was strictly monitored.

Fortunately, Rong Zheng did not forget his previous promise and did not restrict him from continuing to be a big Internet celebrity. The only condition is that every time Ye Zhaoling publishes publicly, he needs to be reviewed by the East Palace.

Ye Zhaoling thought the review process was too complicated, so his social account hadn't been updated since he got married.

Although he can't use his new identity to make money, he still controls the operation of the company behind the scenes.This Ye Zhaoling was talking with Li Qiuling, and the documents that he needed to see in person had been sent to his mailbox.

Ye Zhaoling didn't turn on the computer immediately. He came to the bookshelf, brushed his fingers carelessly across the spine of the book one by one, and kept hitting Li Qiu: "It's not good for you to stimulate me. Be careful that I leave my burden and run away. No one will get it."

That being said, Ye Zhaoling always kept in mind his purpose of entering the East Palace, and Rong Zheng trapped him in the study, which instead played into his hands.He could just use this time to investigate the whereabouts of Shenpo from the study.

All kinds of ancient books, famous paintings, national treasures and curiosities in the library are inherently spiritual, and they have been nourished for a long time in the East Palace, a land of Fengshui full of dragon energy, which is very likely to produce spirits.However, the collection in the study is too rich, and Ye Zhaoling has been checking here for more than ten days, but he still hasn't sorted out everything.

"By the way, senior brother, how are you and the crown prince?" Li Qiu talked about disloyalty and filial piety for a long time, and finally remembered to care about senior brother's personal emotional life, so he asked, "Is he treating you well?"

Ye Zhaoling was seriously playing with a pair of agate pen holders with a crane pattern in his hand. This thing didn't look like ordinary products, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

He put the pen holder on the shelf, as if deliberately speaking to the listener, and said nonsense: "It's very good, it's like holding it in your hand for fear of falling, and holding it in your mouth for fear of melting, love I love it to death."

In fact, Ye Zhaoling has not seen Rong Zheng for more than ten days, except that on the night of their wedding, the two of them bit the bullet and slept in the same bed for one night. From the next day onwards, they each occupied a suite, separated by a sleeper. The living room is like roommates who share the same roof with completely opposite schedules.

Ye Zhaoling's eyes fell on a pair of green jade melon rats at the side. A few days ago, he heard the attendant mention that there was a golden silk jade rabbit in this position.This jade rabbit has been lost three times in history, and has been successfully found afterwards, which shows that it has a strong relationship with Rong Zheng.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoling became suspicious of the golden silk jade rabbit, and all signs indicated that it might be the carrier of spirit.

However, this treasure has already been donated to a school museum by Rong Zheng, a prodigal bastard. If you want to find out, you have to find another chance.

Later, Li Qiuqiu's phone call was quickly interrupted by Yan Tian, ​​who stood outside the door and knocked softly, saying: "My Majesty, Your Highness has returned to the palace, and I invite you to have dinner together."

Yan Tian was young but was poisoned by feudal ideology, almost a month passed and he couldn't change his words.Ye Zhaoling turned around, and asked helplessly: "Master Yan, we are not in public now, so don't we have any titles that fit the characteristics of the current era in private?"

There is no concubine or concubine in the East Palace, Yan Tian realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly called out as if to make up for it: "Master Hou."

Ye Zhaoling tried to make the last struggle: "Maybe you can try to call me Xiaoye?"

Yan Tian said with a serious face: "Master Hou, absolutely not."

Ye Zhaoling waved his hand, got up and walked out the door: "Okay, where is Rong Zheng? Let's go."
