Raiders of His Royal Highness

Not long after, the conversation between Zhirong Qin and Princess Yunfu in the secret prison reached Emperor Jingming's ears exactly.

He has no objection to Yunfu's desire to stuff Zhong Qianmeng into the East Palace.

He asked Eunuch Cheng to deliver the decree, saying that he had agreed to Zhong Qianmeng's entry into the East Palace, but he had to wait for the crown prince to personally give her what position he would give her when he came back.

But Emperor Jingming didn't intend to let Yu Ling return to Beijing alive.

This purpose is nothing more than to cover up his mind.Furthermore, after Yu Ling died, he would quietly take Qin Zhirong into the harem, and then Zhong Qianmeng's existence would also be able to block the eyes of others.

……

Seeing that it was getting late, Emperor Jing Ming remembered that he had promised Pei Qingyun to accompany her every day, so he said to Xiao Chengzi, "Go to Liuyun Palace."

Passing by a corner of the imperial garden, Emperor Jingming saw Qin Zhirong who was coming not far away wearing a crescent white fox fur and stepping on the snow, and stopped involuntarily.

Heavy snow is flying, and red plums are in full bloom.

The beauties with delicate faces and elegant temperament are especially eye-catching in this ice and snow world.

Emperor Jing Ming squinted his eyes, looked at her as if he didn't see himself in the corner, and walked forward without squinting.

He coughed heavily, and seeing Qin Zhirong look over, he asked softly, "Where is Rong'er going in such a hurry?"

At this moment, Qin Zhirong found Emperor Jing Ming standing in the corner, she stopped, and blessed her body in the direction of Emperor Jing Ming: "I have seen the emperor."

No matter how much she hated the emperor, but at this moment His Highness didn't break faces with him in the open, she had to curtsy to him according to the rules.

Qin Zhirong lowered his head, thinking that Emperor Jingming would ignore him after he greeted him, but he didn't expect a pair of dragon boots embroidered with auspicious clouds to appear in his sight.

It was Emperor Jingming who walked in front of Qin Zhirong.

"Ready to go back to the East Palace?"

Seeing that Qin Zhirong's fair skin became more and more delicate against the crimson dress, Emperor Jingming narrowed his eyes slightly, and chatted with Qin Zhirong absently.

Even though Qin Zhirong lowered her head at this moment, she still felt the scorching gaze of Emperor Jingming, she answered yes uncomfortably, and then quietly moved back a few steps.

"The road is slippery in snowy weather, be careful on the way back." Emperor Jing Ming saw that the beauty blessed him again, then turned and walked towards the East Palace.

The beauty's clothes fluttered in the snow like a butterfly in spring, and it flew into Emperor Jing Ming's heart at once.

Standing where he was and watching the graceful figure drifting away, Emperor Jing Ming looked away.

"Since the crown prince left the palace, has the crown princess stayed in the East Palace on weekdays?"

As Emperor Jingming walked, he asked Xiao Chengzi behind him.

"Back to the Emperor, the Crown Princess will go to the Zhengyang Hall to pay her respects to the Empress Empress every day, and occasionally stay with her for dinner. Besides, the Crown Princess will also enjoy the scenery with Princess Zhaoping."

Xiaochengzi honestly told Qin Zhirong's whereabouts these days.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing Ming nodded, and did not mention Qin Zhirong again.

……

The sky was getting darker, and the soldiers all the way to the south set up camp on the spot after receiving the order.

In a tent that had already been set up, Yu Ling sat at the head, looking at the topographic map spread on the desk.

"...In order to deceive people, the 8 people went north in batches, and the fastest batch will meet us soon..."

"Are you sure it's 8 people?" An unremarkable man next to Yu Ling lowered his voice and asked.

At this moment, the leader of the scouts nodded, and said to the man: "Yes, Third Highness."

That man with an ordinary and inconspicuous face turned out to be the third prince Yu Lang who had fled abroad!

At this moment, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were anxious: "Prince, we only have [-] people, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight..."

Although he has already put life and death aside, if there is a chance of life, he does not want to let it go.

So a few days ago when the palace was at the end of its rope, after seeing Qi Run's slight flaw, he held the emperor and Pei Zhaoyi hostage, and confronted Qi Run at the gate of the palace for a long time.

In the end, his father finally agreed to let him leave the palace in order to survive.

Later, under Qi Run's release, he led a group of generals and soldiers to break out of the siege and escape from Beijing.

At that time, he didn't understand why Qi Run did that, but not long after he left Beijing, he received a secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, he realized that it was the prince's idea that he escaped smoothly...

Before, he had vaguely felt that the prince might not be as simple as he appeared on the surface, but it was only at that moment that he realized how ridiculous he was before.

With such a prince hiding in the dark and watching them kill each other, these princes never had a chance to rise to the throne.

To his relief, the prince in his heart let him go all the way south.

At that time, when they encountered Huainan King's northward army, they stopped this team and did not let them go any further.

He had no choice but to obey the prince's order.

Because he knew that his current life was given by the crown prince, if he did not obey her order, then maybe he would have to be arrested and returned to Beijing, and he would end up like Yu Feng, who was given a glass of poisoned wine for the rest of his life.

And now he has no intention of making a comeback.

He just wanted to follow Yu Ling. After she ascended the throne, if he could still remember the blood relationship and covenant between them and confer him a title, then he would be able to spend the rest of his life leisurely.

The changed Yu Lang looked expressionlessly at the pensive Yu Ling.

After a while, she heard her cold and indifferent voice: "No rush."

She has also secretly prepared some troops over the years, but it's just not the time yet.

Seeing her relaxed face, as if she didn't care much, Yu Lang knew that she should have a countermeasure.

Several people discussed in the tent for a long time before they dispersed in the dark night.

……

As Yu Ling left Beijing for longer and longer, the palace gradually returned to normal.

Because of the rebellion between the second prince and the third prince, neither the people in the palace nor those outside the palace had a good New Year.

So two days before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jingming waved his hand and ordered that the Shangyuan Festival be well organized.

The palace people came and went, hurrying, and finally on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the palace was refurbished, as if the rebellion not long ago had never happened, and it dissipated in the flowers like a cloud of smoke.

Officials of the fourth rank and above all brought their families to the banquet, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo at the moment did not cover up the sound of the interlacing of cups and cups.

However, because many important officials in the court were implicated in the rebellion, although the people present tried their best to relax their minds and raised their glasses to invite them as usual, some people still dare not be too reckless.

"Today, we, the monarch and his ministers, have fun together, so there is no need to be too formal."

Emperor Jing Ming smiled lightly, looking at the people of different colors at the banquet.

When the people below heard what Emperor Jing Ming said, they also raised their wine glasses, said some auspicious words, and drank the wine in their glasses.

This scene was quite enjoyable.

Empress Song looked coldly at Emperor Jing Ming who was gradually raising the corners of her mouth, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

Not wanting to look at his annoying face anymore, Empress Song stood up and blessed Emperor Jingming: "I feel a little unwell, so I will go back first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Emperor Jingming's reaction, she walked towards Zhengyang Hall on her own.
