Raiders of His Royal Highness

Looking at the back figure that showed no affection to him, Emperor Jing Ming gradually darkened his face.

"Your Majesty, since my sister is not feeling well, why don't I go and see my sister?" Concubine Rou sat aside, seeing that Emperor Jing Ming's expression was not very good, so she said.

But she said to visit Empress Song, but her body didn't move a bit.

Emperor Jingming said in a calm voice, "Forget it, since the Empress is ill, then let her go."

His complexion was gloomy, and some ministers who were far away could see his displeasure, and the happy scene just now disappeared, and everyone quietly closed their mouths, for fear of offending the emperor.

Yu Shu below glanced at Emperor Jingming with some complicated eyes, and walked away from the seat without making a sound.

Ever since she heard that Emperor Jingming ordered Yu Ling to leave the palace, she couldn't understand it.At that time, she hurried to Emperor Jingming to ask him why he did that, but Emperor Jingming reprimanded her, saying that she could not interfere in the government affairs as a woman.

At that time, she felt that the high-ranking emperor was not like her father anymore, as if all the love and affection in the past were just illusions.

So at this moment, seeing Emperor Jingming getting along tenderly with the concubine Rou's mother and son, Yu Shu felt that it was extremely dazzling.

The courtiers and their family members who attended the banquet silently watched the undercurrents of the royal family. Seeing that the empress and Princess Zhaoping had left the banquet, only the crown princess was left sitting quietly in the Eastern Palace.

After the rebellion of the second prince and the third prince, only the frail prince and the sudden rise of the sixth prince were left with the chance to ascend to the throne.

However, the crown prince has been sent out by Emperor Jing Ming, so it is still a matter of whether he can return to the capital.

So……

Everyone's thoughts were surging, and they quietly looked at the graceful and dignified concubine and the smiling sixth prince.

Although many people looked down upon the Sixth Prince's grand marriage before, but now the only person who has the most hope of winning the throne is the Sixth Prince...

The depression of Empress Song and Yu Shu's departure dissipated in a short while.

Everyone raised their glasses to each other and drank together, some of them even chatted with Yu Sheng, and they looked like they had a happy conversation.

Twilight is sinking, and the banquet has come to an end.

Among the bustling crowd, Qin Zhirong stood up and left quietly with a lot of noise.

However, Emperor Jing Ming, who had been looking at Qin Zhirong's place from the corner of the eye, noticed her early departure.

After he glanced at Concubine Rou who was being complimented by others, he waved to Eunuch Cheng behind him.

"go."

He winked at Eunuch Cheng, and Eunuch Cheng immediately understood what he meant.

After receiving the order, Eunuch Cheng bent over and retreated quietly.

……

The imperial garden was very quiet, only the creaking sounds of Qin Zhirong and Nao Nao stepping on the snow.

"It's so late, do we still have to go to Zhengyang Palace to visit the empress?"

Xu Shi's surrounding candles were very dim, Nao Nao felt a little cold and had some bad feelings in his heart.

Qin Zhirong nodded, and said a little sullenly: "Thinking about it, the empress may not be able to sleep at this moment, so I should feel at ease when I go to have a look."

Because Yu Ling had been away from Beijing for a long time, Qin Zhirong would go to accompany Queen Song almost every day.

Just now seeing Empress Song's depression, Qin Zhirong knew that she might feel uncomfortable because of His Royal Highness again.

Now, as the hostess of the East Palace, she always wanted to visit Empress Song.

Nao Nao looked around, and said with some fear: "Then let's go quickly, I always feel weird in my heart..."

However, before the noisy words were finished, she felt as if she had been slashed on the back of her neck, and she fainted from the pain.

Qin Zhirong in front of her sensed something was wrong, and was about to turn around to see what was going on with Nao Nao, when she suddenly covered her mouth with one hand.

She struggled with all her might, and held her breath at the first moment, but the veil covering her hand was stained with some drug, and she lost consciousness after a while...

The night is hazy, and the originally sparse white snow is gradually falling.

An extremely lively but extremely weird banquet ended in the heavy snow.

"The Biluochun, which the emperor loves to drink, has been brewed in the concubine's palace. May the emperor go and sit in the concubine's palace?" The concubine wearing a concubine's red tufted velvet cloak looked at Emperor Jing Ming who was about to get up, her eyes filled with anticipation of light.

However, Emperor Jingming rejected her: "Today is the fifteenth day, even if I hate the Queen no matter how much I don't go to her bedroom, I still have to take her face into account."

On the [-]th day of each month, the emperor does not need to go to the queen's palace, but if he goes to other concubines' bedroom, it will be slapping the queen's face.

Emperor Jingming patted Concubine Rou's well-maintained face lightly, and slowed down his voice: "So I won't go anywhere today, just rest in Chengming Palace."

"You should go back earlier and rest."

After dismissing the concubine Rou, Emperor Jingming returned to Chengming Palace surrounded by a crowd of palace people with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face.

Stepping into the side hall of Chengming Hall, Emperor Jingming looked at Eunuch Cheng who had already been waiting here, and asked with a smile, "Did someone bring it?"

Eunuch Cheng twisted an inconspicuous decoration on the desk, and suddenly a passageway was slowly opened on the wall that was originally a bookshelf.

"Yes, people have been brought here, and no one has been alarmed."

Eunuch Cheng replied with a smile as if asking for credit.

When Emperor Jingming heard the words, he raised his feet and walked towards the secret passage with a smile in his eyes.

"Be careful and don't bother me if there is nothing important."

As the bookshelves were slowly closed again, Emperor Jing Ming's slightly joyful voice also disappeared in this side hall.

Seeing this, Eunuch Cheng raised the whisk in his hand and walked outside.

He looked at the hidden guard hidden in the night, and whispered: "Leader Wei, don't go too far, you have to send that man back later."

……

In a not-so-big room, Qin Zhirong woke up faintly.

A red candle lit on a stone table was dim and slightly ambiguous, and a small jade porcelain censer beside it was floating with misty thin smoke.She glanced at the spiritual jade pendant hanging on her waist, and then sniffed it carefully. She didn't smell any unusual smell from it, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she should not be poisoned.

Then she looked around again, and found that it was like a closed room, there was not even a small window around, only an inconspicuous door on the side.

Such a claustrophobic small room made her panic, and she involuntarily clenched her sleeves tightly.

Just when she was restless, the stone door slowly opened.

She looked over in surprise, and a bright yellow figure appeared in her eyes.

"emperor?!"

Qin Zhirong had no idea that the person who came was actually Emperor Jing Ming!

She had just thought about Concubine Rou, the Sixth Prince, and even Concubine Xian Gui and Concubine Yi who had been deposed as commoners in the cold palace just now, but Emperor Jing Ming hadn't thought about it.

She thought that she was not worth getting rid of by Emperor Jing Ming himself.

But he didn't expect that he sent someone to abduct him.

"Rong'er seems very surprised that it's me?"

Emperor Jingming walked over step by step with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the beauty sitting on the bed wrapped in a plush cloak, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, small cherry lips, fair skin that surpassed snow, and an elegant temperament, just like the cold fairy who does not eat the fireworks in the world in the white snow.

"You know, Rong'er, I've really missed you for a long time..."
