Why hasn't His Highness written a letter of divorce?

After sending Feng Ying away, Jiang Qingning heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that Feng Ying would not come to him again because of Xiao Che's matter.

For Xiao Che, Feng Ying was the same as himself, and would not wish to hurt Xiao Che or ruin Xiao Che.

What Jiang Qingning didn't expect was that the tomb of the first emperor was destroyed the next day.

It is said that the tomb of the first emperor was dug up, the coffin was dug out, and countless marks were severely scratched on the coffin board, the tablet of the first emperor's meritorious deeds standing in front of the tomb was also cut off, and even The double dragon cornucopia in front of the tomb was destroyed.

There was also a long sword left on the top of the coffin, and the long sword was stuck straight on the coffin, which looked very scary.

This incident soon shocked the entire Chang'an City, and there was an uproar in the palace, and people panicked, thinking that this was the most shocking incident that happened in all dynasties.

The emperor's cemetery is such a heavily guarded place. Who knows who was able to break into it, and did such a rebellious thing that shocked the whole country, which is unheard of and unimaginable.

For a while, rumors arose in Chang'an City, and some people even related this matter to the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that it was some kind of punishment from gods.

Jiang Qingning was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and he didn't drink it for a long time. Apart from being shocked, he also felt a little regretful.

He thought that at this age, Feng Ying, who looked very steady, would actually do such an unsteady thing, it was really jaw-dropping.

Then I thought of the rumors of the thousands of marks on the coffin of the first emperor that were cut by swords, and I remembered what Feng Ying said that day, "a thousand cuts into pieces".

Jiang Qingning's heart skipped a beat, Feng Ying really did what he said, probably because the late emperor's body had been decomposed, otherwise Feng Ying might really have done the thing of chopping tens of thousands of knives on him.

Jiang Qingning finally drank the tea in his hand, and suppressed his shock.

The investigation of this matter was caused by what he told Feng Ying, but Jiang Qingning could only choose to be a coward at this time, and only hoped that this matter would be suppressed as soon as possible, and Feng Ying would never come to him again.

……

In the palace, Xiao Che already had a splitting headache because of this incident, his eyes were dark, and he spent the whole day under the rounds of bombing by the ministers.

The matter of choosing a concubine in the palace has also been suspended, and while everyone is busy rebuilding the tomb of the late emperor, they are trying their best to thoroughly investigate this matter.

It was not until the dead of night that Xiao Che's ears finally became quiet, and he was able to sit down and drink a bowl of porridge.

Han Yun waited quietly at the side, Xiao Che's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak, seeing that as His Majesty, he couldn't drink a mouthful of porridge all day, Han Yun couldn't help sighing, it seems that it is really not easy for anyone Ah, being an emperor is not so easy.

The porridge in Xiao Che's bowl was finally finished, he raised his head and glanced at Han Yun.

Han Yun thought he understood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, would you like another bowl?"

Xiao Che looked at him speechlessly and said, "No need."

After a while, he asked casually, "Who do you think did this time?"

Han Yun's back suddenly turned cold, and he said nervously: "How could this slave know, Your Majesty, why would you think of asking the slave?"

Of course Xiao Che knew that he shouldn't ask Han Yun about this matter, he just asked casually because he felt upset.

There was no deep father-son relationship between him and Emperor Yong'an, and even after Emperor Yong'an tried his best to please him, he felt disgusted.

It's just that the destruction of Emperor Yong'an's mausoleum really gave him a headache, and he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why someone had such a deep hatred for Emperor Yong'an, and could sneak into it without anyone noticing. The emperor's cemetery, which was heavily guarded, destroyed everything in a short period of time, and even inserted a sword into it.

No matter what, Xiao Che had to give an explanation to the civil and military officials in the end.

Speaking of which, he couldn't think of someone who had such hatred for Emperor Yong'an, but he did think of someone who could easily enter the cemetery.

Recalling the days before, Jiang Qingning was sent to his bedroom late at night. He knew that Jiang Qingning couldn't do it by himself, only one person could.

Xiao Che couldn't help frowning.

He called Han Yun over, and whispered in Han Yun's ear: "Send someone to Guo'an Temple and ask Feng Ying to come back to see Gu."

Han Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that there is probably only one person in Xiao Guo who can achieve such a powerful martial arts.

"Wei." Han Yun nodded, and immediately quietly sent his confidants to Guo'an Temple.

On the other hand, Jiang Qingning also knew that Xiao Che would be able to guess that it was Feng Ying soon.

In fact, apart from Feng Ying, no one else has this ability.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingning was absolutely at ease with Feng Ying, knowing that even if Xiao Che guessed that Feng Ying did it, Feng Ying would not tell everything.

It was just to make it difficult for Xiao Che to come up with an excuse to deal with civil and military officials.

Jiang Qingning was idle at home these few days, Li Boxu invited him out, and he agreed.

The two met in a teahouse.

Li Boxu told Jiang Qingning excitedly: "I have found a teacher in Chang'an City recently, and I am ready to prepare for the next imperial examination. When I was playing on the lake yesterday, I happened to meet a girl who could play the piano. Take Brother Jiang to meet you when you have time."

Jiang Qingning nodded perfunctorily, his attention was attracted by the conversation of the people on the table next to him.

There were two people sitting on the table next to them. They were talking in low voices about the recent destruction of the tomb of the late emperor. While talking, they suddenly talked about Emperor Xuanwu who is now in power.

"It is said that His Majesty's mother and concubine were bestowed to death by the first emperor." One person whispered.

"I've also heard that the late emperor suspected that His Majesty was not his own, and treated him very harshly, causing him to suffer a lot of humiliation when he was a child." Another person lowered his voice and said.

Jiang Qingning listened from the sidelines, feeling a little ache in her heart.

After Xiao Che became emperor, although everyone said that he had a surly temper, he actually treated politics very openly, and did not strictly prohibit the people from talking about the royal court, so some bold people dared to talk about it in public These royal private affairs.

Regarding Xiao Che's past, Jiang Qingning is naturally very clear.

He couldn't bear to listen to those things again, and was about to tell Li Boxu to get up and leave, but he heard the two people next to him talk about the death of the late emperor.

"The late Emperor passed away so suddenly back then, could it be because of His Majesty..." A person looked around nervously, hesitant to speak, "I'm afraid it wasn't because of the destruction of the Mausoleum of the late Emperor this time, but because of..."

"Shh..." The other person hastily stopped him, "Such words must not be said indiscriminately."

Although the politics are now open, some rumors are spread indiscriminately, and those that endanger the reputation of the emperor should not be talked about.

The two looked around, got up, paid the money hastily, and left the teahouse.

Looking at the two leaving figures, Jiang Qingning felt inexplicably uneasy.

For the rest of the time, he was not in the mood to continue drinking tea with Li Boxu, so he separated from Li Boxu on the pretext that he had something to deal with, and returned to his house.

Jiang Qingning hoped that what he heard today was just accidental, but everything was not as he wished.

A few days later, rumors suddenly spread in Chang'an City.

It was the same as what he heard that day, he was hesitant to speak, and he would not say anything, but the spearhead was undoubtedly aimed at Xiao Che, and all kinds of hints pointed out that the death of the late emperor might have something to do with Xiao Che. .

Because the first emperor bestowed Xiao Che's mother and concubine to death, and treated him very harshly, causing him to suffer humiliation since he was a child, so after Xiao Che was favored, he still harbored hatred in his heart, and finally killed Emperor Yong'an.

And these rumors don't seem to be groundless, but from the first time Jiang Qingning heard them occasionally to the large-scale spread now, they all seem to be planned and premeditated.

This must be someone behind the manipulation.

Thinking of Xiao Che's current situation, Jiang Qingning couldn't help feeling worried when he encountered these rumors about the destruction of the tomb of the late emperor before.

……

But Xiao Che's reaction was beyond everyone's expectation, he was very calm, without any anger at all.

The people sent by Han Yun did not find Feng Ying either, perhaps because Feng Ying guessed that Xiao Che would look for him and didn't want to tell what happened back then, so he hid.

On the surface, it seems that the rumors this time started because of the destruction of the tomb of the late emperor, but Xiao Che knew in his heart that Feng Ying would never harm him. Without the destruction of the tomb of the late emperor, these rumors would appear sooner or later.

From the moment he sat on the throne, someone was already plotting to pull him down.

Several loyal ministers came to see him and bluntly asked His Majesty to order all those who spread rumors to be locked up.

Xiao Che waved his hand, making them all retreat. Those people who spread rumors were just pawns, they couldn't catch the people behind the scenes, and arresting the people would only make the situation worse.

Xiao Che looked calm on the surface, and didn't have much reaction to this matter.

But Han Yun, who has been following him, can see everything clearly. He knows that Xiao Che is not ignorant of how serious this matter is, that it will endanger his throne, and that he may be crowned. He was accused of patricide and treason, which made him a crushing defeat and was reviled for generations.

And Xiao Che is not incapable of handling such things, he was the smartest and most capable among the princes back then.

But Xiao Che now treats this matter with a very negative attitude, he does not want to resist, nor does he want to defend himself, as if he is waiting for others to drag him down.

Han Yun was very worried about this. Xiao Che was indifferent to everything. After General Yan returned from Guoan Temple, he returned to the barracks very quickly. It didn't involve him either.

It seems that for His Majesty, there is really nothing to take care of, except himself.

Han Yun was very anxious, he thought about it, and suddenly thought of another person who maybe His Majesty still cares about.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Qingning had already fallen asleep, but suddenly heard Si Wu rushing in to report that an imperial decree had come from the palace, and His Majesty called him into the palace.

Putting on her coat, Jiang Qingning sat up from the couch, wondering why Xiao Che would call him late at night?

But when he thought about Xiao Che's recent situation, he didn't care about other things, and soon he stayed at the bed to receive the order, and entered the palace with Han Yun who came to deliver the order.

On the way, Jiang Qingning asked curiously, "What is your Majesty calling me for?"

Han Yun said with a mysterious look: "Master Jiang, you will know when you go."

Jiang Qingning said helplessly, "Okay."

Waiting for him to be taken outside Xiao Che's bedroom by Han Yun.Because Han Yun was the closest eunuch to Xiao Che's side, and his position was higher than the others, they saw that Han Yun brought him personally, so naturally they didn't dare to ask more questions, and let him in directly.

After Jiang Qingning went in, she realized that she had been tricked by Han Yun.

In the bedroom, separated by a screen, Xiao Che was still awake, with a blank sheet of paper in front of him and a brush in his hand, as if he was already writing a record of his life.

From the time he was born, until he was bullied by everyone, fell ill, escaped from death again and again, was married by the first emperor, left the palace to establish a mansion, and finally moved into the East Palace and ascended the throne. The Dongchuang incident was overthrown by the officials, imprisoned, and died of depression.

As soon as he finished his writing, he heard someone coming in from outside the screen.

Xiao Che frowned, thinking that some eunuch had come in, and was about to let him out, but he heard Jiang Qingning's voice, and said respectfully outside: "My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sheng'an."

Xiao Che's pen slipped from his hand, and the ink on the nib of the pen smeared and smeared on the paper.

He couldn't help trembling his fingers slightly, his cold fingertips crumpled the paper spread out on the table, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here late at night?"

Jiang Qingning was stunned for a moment, full of doubts: "Didn't your Majesty call your ministers in?"

Xiao Che immediately understood, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Han Yun!"

Han Yun came in hurriedly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty will dispose of you, my servant."

Through the screen, Jiang Qingning couldn't see Xiao Che's expression at this time, but heard him suppressing his anger and saying to Han Yun: "You go and get fifty boards yourself."

Han Yun kowtowed: "Wei, my servant, thank you for your grace." He was guilty of decapitation for falsely preaching the imperial decree, and his majesty only rewarded him with fifty boards, which is already extraordinarily merciful.

Jiang Qingning also instantly understood everything at this moment, knowing that she was tricked into coming in.

Xiao Che said coldly: "Go back, Gu didn't summon you."

Jiang Qingning stood still, but since he came, he didn't want to leave.

Xiao Che didn't hear the news of Jiang Qingning's departure, so he said again: "Didn't you always want to be transferred from Chang'an, Gu will satisfy you this time, and I will issue an imperial decree tonight, sending you to Ganzhou as the governor, and you can leave tomorrow .”

Jiang Qingning couldn't tell what emotion was in his heart at this moment, but suddenly felt as if his heart had been stabbed severely, he shook his head and said: "If you don't leave, Your Majesty doesn't need to issue an order."

Xiao Che suddenly said angrily: "Jiang Qingning! Do you really want to stay and watch the three thousand beauties of the orphaned harem and the endless succession of orphaned heirs?"

Jiang Qingning had no choice but to shake her head again and said, "I don't want to."

"Then what do you want?" Xiao Che seemed almost unable to suppress his anger.

He clearly understood that Jiang Qingning didn't like him. The letter he left behind made it clear enough that Jiang Qingning never liked men.

It was always just his wishful thinking, even if Jiang Qingning appeared on his bed for several days and nights, he knew it all the time in his heart, knowing that Feng Ying must have done it, Jiang Qingning couldn't have come in by himself.

And Jiang Qingning didn't resist that night, he also knew that it was due to his imperial prestige, Jiang Qingning just didn't dare to resist.

Jiang Qingning's purpose has always been to be a parental official and to uphold justice for the people, but for his own selfish desires, he left people in Chang'an to be an idle and useless official.

Now, it's time to let everything go. It's time for Jiang Qingning to leave Chang'an and do what he really wants to do.

Jiang Qingning stood there for a long time without moving.When Xiao Che asked him what he wanted, he always knew it clearly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it easily.

After receiving no response for a long time, Xiao Che's icy voice came from behind the screen again: "Get lost! Never let Gu see you again."

"The imperial decree has been written, take this and get out of Chang'an tomorrow!"

An imperial decree made of golden silk was thrown out from behind the screen and fell at Jiang Qingning's feet.

Jiang Qingning felt depressed, he bent down and picked up the imperial decree on the ground, instead of leaving, he got up and walked into the screen.

Xiao Che was putting away the paper and ink in agitation, when he saw Jiang Qingning walking in suddenly, he couldn't help throbbing in his heart, but he still asked in a cold voice: "Didn't I tell you to get out immediately? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Qingning looked straight at Xiao Che, his thoughts were extraordinarily complicated at this time, worried about Xiao Che's current situation, and suddenly remembered when the two of them were in the Prince's Mansion.

Thinking back carefully, Jiang Qingning realized that he actually fell in love with Xiao Che at first sight.

The first time he saw such a gentle and good-looking young man, he immediately liked him, so he wanted to help him turn over. Later, he was drawn by that person's paintings, poems, and his erudite knowledge. Admired by his knowledge and superb chess skills, he often only sees that one person in his eyes.

Thinking back now, from the very first sight, he had a good impression of Xiao Che, no matter the appearance or the aura of that person, he liked him.

Even though Xiao Che has changed from before, he is still the one who makes him feel happy just looking at him.

His favor towards Xiao Che has not changed from the beginning to the end.

"I came in to tell Your Majesty that I won't leave, and I don't want to." Jiang Qingning looked at Xiao Che's handsome but cold face, and finally said.

Xiao Che looked at him in surprise, frowned again and asked, "Then what exactly do you want?"

Jiang Qingning plucked up his courage, stood in front of Xiao Che, took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Che seriously and clearly, and replied: "The only thing I want from the beginning to the end is you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Che's body was slightly stiff, and he looked at him in disbelief: "Jiang Qingning, do you know what you're talking about?"

Jiang Qingning stretched out her hand, and slowly put her arms around him, approached him, closed her eyes, and repeated: "The only thing I want is Your Majesty."
