triple
It is obviously the concubine he cares about that can make Emperor Chengxian so angry.
The concubine who entered the palace 20 years ago is still favored... It seems that there is only one, and that is... Concubine Liu Gui?
Jing Changji waited for the carriage to return to the palace, but he didn't come back to his senses. He returned to his yard in a trance, and didn't wake up until Jing Wenwei called out.
No wonder when the emperor left the banquet because Concubine Liu Gui was seriously ill, Xu Yilin was uneasy and even poured tea stains all over her body. It turned out that she was also worried about Concubine Liu Gui.
Even later in the imperial study, Emperor Cheng Xian probably heard about the reason for the tea stain on Xu Yilin's body, and that's why he later beat Xu Yilin to get him to marry a wife as soon as possible.
This is something Jing Changji never expected, that Xu Yilin was actually involved with Concubine Liu Gui.
In this way, it is more likely that Xu Yilin will not hesitate to betray the Xu family and David Dynasty to cooperate with Xia Houqian.
Xia Houqian must have seized some clue that Xu Yilin was threatened and had to choose to cooperate, and this threat probably also involved Concubine Liu Gui.
Otherwise, Xu Yilin would not have taken the risk of doing such a thing.
Jing Changji couldn't feel any sympathy when he thought of Xu Yilin's cruel treatment of his elder brother by the first generation.His infatuation is infatuation, but burying other people's lives for his feelings is not a thing.
"Brother, why haven't you slept yet?" Jing Changji figured out that everything had returned to normal, and tried not to act strange when facing his brother.
Jing Wenwei couldn't sleep, after all, he was entering the palace. Although he was attending a birthday banquet, he couldn't calm down without seeing Jing Changji's safe return: "Is the birthday banquet going well? Why are you back so late?"
He also participated in the birthday banquet, which usually didn't take so long.
Jing Changji concealed the fact that he was suspected by Emperor Chengxian and brought him to the imperial study, and only said that there was an assassin at the birthday banquet, so he was delayed.
After all, the queen mother's assassination is serious, but I can't hide it, and the rest of the matter should not be worried about by my brother for the time being.
Jing Wenwei was shocked: "Assassination in the palace? Who is so courageous? Chang Ji, are you injured?"
Jing Changji shook his head: "I'm fine. I just went to clean the room to avoid the assassin. I don't know the details. I only heard that the prince was injured, but nothing else."
It was said to assassinate the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager has been doing nothing for many years, and she focused on worshiping Buddha all day long. How do you think it is more appropriate to assassinate Emperor Chengxian, so this time it is obviously aimed at the Crown Prince.
As for whether the prince was really only slightly injured, no one knew. Even if it was really seriously injured, the prince would probably find a way to hide it.
Jing Changji doesn't care whether the prince will be injured or not, and whether he can keep the position of the crown prince. He only cares about the two brothers at the moment, and he will first find the people behind the scenes to find a way to solve this crisis.After that, he will find a way to choose another one to assist him. The first life took a detour, and this time the crown prince was the one who was excluded first.
Jing Changji soon rested here, but the East Palace was brightly lit.
Let Jing Changji guess that the birthday banquet hall was in chaos at that time, both the Empress Dowager and Empress were present, and Emperor Chengxian left early because Concubine Liu Guifei's condition worsened.
When Emperor Chengxian left, he also took away most of the imperial guards, which made it impossible for the prince not to protect the queen mother and queen when the assassin came and waited for someone to come to rescue him.
In addition, the assassins were all targeting the crown prince. On the surface, they swarmed towards the queen mother, but the prince stood in front of the queen mother. Who knows whether the target is the queen mother or the prince?So when the rescuers came, the prince was injured, but he was wearing a fancy dress tonight with a lot of clothes, so at first he didn't know whether the injury was serious or not.
The imperial doctor came wave after wave, and the prince didn't wake up until midnight.
The prince was cut on the arm because of excessive blood loss, the wound was deep enough to show the bone, and he bled a lot, almost hurting the meridians in his hand, and there was a knife on the back, which is not light, but as long as he will be raised for a few months , but there is no fear of life.
Empress Huo went to see the queen mother first after the incident, and stayed in the East Palace until the queen mother was seen by the imperial doctor.
Across a curtain, the empress looked at the blurry figure in a very sad mood, and waited until the imperial doctors came out in the middle of the night. When several old imperial doctors saw the empress's appearance, they thought she felt sorry for the prince, and hurriedly saluted: "Empress, Your Highness Hong Fu Qi Tian, his injury has been stabilized, but he may still have a fever at night. It's just that he's bleeding a lot this time and the injury is too serious, so he needs to be taken care of."
Empress Huo hummed: "How long?"
The old doctor: "At least three months."
Empress Huo didn't say anything, but she changed the subject and said, "The assassin hasn't found out yet. The prince was assassinated to save the palace and the queen mother, so he can show his filial piety. It's better not to tell the prince's injury to the outside world, just say that he was slightly injured and it's not a serious problem."
The old doctors were taken aback for a moment, and then they thought that if the prince was seriously injured, it might be that the prince below had thoughts, but this is not something they can hide if they want to: "But the emperor..."
Empress Huo didn't care: "I will tell the emperor about it."
The old imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't want to participate in this matter, so they left the East Palace first after they agreed repeatedly.
Only then did Empress Huo look at the old nanny next to her, who was instructed to leave the bedroom with the rest of the people quickly.
Only then did Empress Huo step up and slowly opened the curtain to look at the prince lying there with a large gauze wrapped around his back and arms, frowning.
When the prince heard the footsteps, he reluctantly turned his head to look. His lips were pale, and his originally cold brows and eyes were much rarer and more fragile. Looking at the mother who had been guarding him until midnight, his heart warmed, his dry lips moved, gently Call out: "Mother, son..." It's okay...
It's just that the last two words of the prince have not been uttered yet, Empress Huo's dignified and virtuous eyebrows turned cold, with disappointment and displeasure: "Prince, you have disappointed me so much."
The blood in the prince's body cooled down again, he pursed his lips tightly, his heart seemed to be clenched, and he lowered his eyes after a long while, covering the flashing self-mockery in his eyes: the mother was strict with him since he was a child, and he just thought, Think……
It took a while for the prince to return to normal: "I know my mistake."
Empress Huo sat aside, fixedly looking at the crown prince: "The queen mother doesn't have to be so strict with you, but you also saw it tonight, on the queen mother's birthday, he left the banquet halfway because of that bitch, but he just fell ill. , but it seems to kill him. Once you are one step behind, or even if you do not do well enough to please him, what is waiting for you? The second prince from Concubine Liu took your place and took your place. When the second prince ascends the throne, not only you, but even the queen mother will be in trouble, do you understand? If the queen mother is not on your side, you can really be established as the crown prince if you are the eldest son?"
The crown prince has heard these words countless times, but even though he knows that it is for his own good, since he was a child, he still wants to feel a little bit of concern from his mother for him occasionally, instead of being cold and mocking every time.
The prince lowered his eyes: "I know that my mother is always good for my son. This time, my son is incompetent and neglects to practice. After he recovers from his injury, he must work hard and not let his mother down."
Only then was Queen Huo satisfied: "The queen mother knows that you are a good child, but you have disappointed the queen too much this time. You can be injured in the palace. If you meet an assassin outside the palace, will you survive? And this The second injury, the queen mother has asked the imperial doctor to say that it is only a minor injury. In order to act more like it, she will go to court as usual after a few days of recuperation. Don't let the second prince and the others see the clue.
When the time comes, take this opportunity to trick your father, and your hard work will be in vain.As for your injury, don't listen to what the imperial doctor said was so serious, and if you ask people to increase the dose of the medicine, it will heal faster. "
The prince's hand on the inside was clenched tightly until the palm felt sticky, and the rules were followed: "My son, please remember."
Only then was Empress Huo satisfied, and she didn't go to see the prince again. When she turned around, she regained her dignified and virtuous appearance, called people in and drove back to the palace.
After the queen and her party left, the prince lay there silently with his eyes closed, and no one dared to disturb him.
Outside the bedroom, Huo Jinzhou peeked in secretly. If he didn't know the plot, he would definitely take this opportunity to show his courtesy.
After all, when a person is injured, his heart is the most fragile and the most easily moved, but he knows very well that at this time, he must not touch the bad head.
The outside world said that Queen Huo attached great importance to the prince. Only Huo Jinzhou, who had watched the plot, knew that the queen had been very strict with the prince since he was a child, and he had no warmth at all. He began to treat the prince with the most severe methods from the age of two or three.
If the homework cannot be done, or Emperor Chengxian goes to Concubine Liu Gui again, then the prince will be scolded.
When the prince was older, the scolding disappeared, but it was replaced by whipping.
Growing up in the royal family, the crown prince received as much honor as the crown prince, and he was also under great pressure. Every time the prince saw Queen Huo, he would be scolded, and this time it may still be the case.
Huo Jinzhou worked so hard to turn over the prince's assets. After thinking about it, he planned to look for an opportunity tomorrow to show his presence in front of the prince.
The prince in the hall soon fell asleep again because of his injuries. He was in pain all over his body. This feeling was very familiar. It made his consciousness sink down until he finally fell into the water.
At the moment when he was swallowed by the water, the prince seemed to be dreaming about his assassination four years ago. By the lakeside of the Lingjiang River, his eyes could not see because of the Five Poisons, but the inaudible voice seemed to come from his ears again. into the ears.
But this time it was very clear, the prince felt as if he opened his eyes in the water, and in the drowsy lake, he saw a figure swimming towards him.
Until he got close, the young man's beautiful appearance was perfect against the smile on his lips, and his gentle voice seemed to be able to soothe all his pain: "Your Highness..."
The prince opened his eyes suddenly, everything in front of him disappeared, and he didn't realize it was his bedroom until he regained consciousness. On one side was a kneeling servant, holding a tray with a bowl of steaming soup on it. Staring like this, trembling all over: "Your Highness, it's time to drink medicine."
The prince didn't know why he dreamed of Jing Changji, but he saved him once back then, that's all, not to mention that he had already repaid the kindness.
Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed the urge to overturn the medicine bowl, lowered his eyes, his eyes were indifferent and gloomy, and tried to prop up his body, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't seem to feel any pain until he sat up and lifted it The medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and threw the bowl back: "Get out." The cold three words are colder than the night, making people chill.
Huo Jinzhou originally wanted to go to the prince the next day to show his presence, but the prince refused to see people on the grounds that he was injured and needed to be taken care of. At the same time, he also excluded them, people from the East Palace.
He couldn't see the prince's face for several days.
Emperor Chengxian knew that the crown prince wanted to come and have a look because he wanted to save the queen mother and the queen was injured. One thing was to investigate the assassin; He didn't even care about the prince.
Later, I wanted to go and have a look, but the East Palace sent me the news that it was just a minor injury, and it would be fine to rest for a few days. In addition, the queen also came here to talk about it, so Emperor Chengxian just rewarded some things for people to bring. A few words of praise, that's all.
The story of the assassin soon became clear, and when it reached Jing Changji's ears, he didn't believe a word.
Jing Changji just checked Jing Wenwei's body, and he recovered well, and he will be no different from before after a period of time.
"How could a deputy commander of the forbidden army do such a big thing?" Jing Wenwei didn't believe it. He sent so many dead soldiers with great fanfare, but in the end it was just because he wanted to assassinate the queen mother?
Jing Changji didn't believe it either: "The commander of the forbidden army was dismissed by Emperor Cheng Xian when something happened that night, and he was investigated by General Zhen Guo, General Wu. The result should not be wrong, at least on the surface."
General Wu was the veteran who supported Emperor Chengxian back then, and General Wu's daughter was the Concubine Wuxian in the palace. With this level of in-law relationship, General Wu was trusted by Emperor Chengxian.
The third prince was born of Concubine Wu Xian. If Jing Changji hadn't known about Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian's private affairs, he might have felt that it was possible that the Wu family had attacked the prince in order to help the third prince rise to power.
But this matter is obviously unlikely, after all, even if there is no crown prince, there will still be the second and fourth princes from Concubine Liu Gui.
The assassination on the night of the birthday banquet was suppressed at first, and later it was only ambiguous that someone was assassinated, but the specific circumstances were not known, and they only thought it was an ordinary assassin.
Regardless of what Emperor Chengxian thought about the outcome of this assassination, the result was that Emperor Chengxian agreed with General Wu. The deputy commander of the forbidden army was sent to prison, and the commander of the forbidden army was dismissed.
A few days later, the prince reappeared, and was rewarded by Emperor Chengxian, and he handed over the matter of worshiping the ancestors to the prince in the near future.
Jing Changji was not idle during this time, and asked Xu Chunsheng to continue to follow Xu Yilin, and notify him immediately if there was any weird behavior.
Jia Maohan asked him to investigate the events of the year, especially Concubine Liu Gui.
Jing Changji was afraid that Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian would attack them again if they didn't give up, just in case he hadn't been idle during this time, and tried to earn some points, so that he could at least save his life in a critical moment.
Jing Changji had just returned to the palace from outside that day, and the housekeeper had been waiting for him long ago: "Second Young Master, the lord has an invitation."
Although Jing Changji was surprised why Wei Yin was looking for him at this time, he would accompany him to play chess every night as he promised at the beginning.
Jing Changji was taken outside Wei Yin's courtyard, and when he got close, the housekeeper stopped and dared not go forward: "My lord let the second son go in alone."
Jing Changji didn't delay much, and walked in quickly. He came here often recently, and he was very familiar with Wei Yin's courtyard.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
Wei Yin's voice came from the room, without any ups and downs: "Come in."
Jing Changji stepped in and walked in, and before he even raised his eyes after entering, he clearly felt a gaze falling on him. He raised his eyes vigilantly, and met a pair of eagle eyes with many sharp wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Jing Changji looked at Uncle Gao, unexpectedly, the last time we met, he had performed an operation on him to wake him up, and he didn't expect to recover so soon.
When Jing Changji faced Wei Yin, he always called Gao Bo a nobleman, so he bowed his hands as if he didn't know the identity of the other party, and then turned his head to look at Wei Yin who was reclining on the soft couch: "My lord."
Gao Bo had already put away his scrutinizing gaze, and saw that he was just a young man with sharp brows and eyes softened a lot.
Wei Yin raised his chin towards Uncle Gao: "I called you this time because Uncle Gao wanted to see you."
Jing Changji turned from Shanru to the past: "Mr. Gao."
Gao Bo smiled: "Second Young Master, you are polite, Gao is only a martial artist, and cannot be a gentleman."
Jing Changji just smiled.
Uncle Gao was curious about Jing Changji. He had been awake for a while, but he just lay down for a few years, and all kinds of body functions needed to recover slowly.
Fortunately, he is a martial arts practitioner, so he recovered quickly.
It's just that the toxins in the body still need to be cleared, and I haven't taken time to see the second son who is said to have rescued him with superb medical skills.
Uncle Gao became even more curious when he saw Jing Changji. At the beginning, he was full of vigilance when he heard the prince mentioned it. After all, such a person suddenly appeared, not only knew everything about him, but the prince could not find out.
A person who can't be controlled, but also has a genius, this kind of person will either be used for himself, or will be a big enemy, which is an odd number.
But unexpectedly, the other party's appearance is not only surprisingly good, but also extremely young, with clear and black pupils, soft eyebrows and eyes, at least from the appearance, he doesn't look like a treacherous person.
After all, it was the benefactor who saved his life. Uncle Gao's original vigilance has been reduced a lot, but it still hasn't been completely eliminated.
"I heard that the Second Young Master has superb medical skills. Gao's injury was healed by the Second Young Master? Gao is curious about who the Second Young Master taught him?"
"This... I can't say it. Master, the old man is an outsider. He said that he doesn't want to get involved in court disputes, and he doesn't want to be contaminated by the world. Teaching me this medical skill is just to watch me lose my mother when I was young, and two brothers survive. It was difficult, and I happened to help him a lot by coincidence when I was a child, so I taught me this medical skill in order to repay this kindness." Jing Changji had already thought of an excuse when he asked Wei Yin, and now I have thought about this excuse thousands of times, and there is no psychological burden to say it.
It is impossible for Uncle Gao to directly ask who his master is. Since he is an outsider, he should be a reclusive master.
Although the toxins in Gao Bo's body have begun to be eliminated, they have not been completely eliminated, and his body is also prone to fatigue. After asking a few words, he did not get any useful information at all. The other party did not want to tell him about the elimination, so he could only suppress his heart Be vigilant and go back first.
At least for now, the second son is harmless to the prince.
Ever since the old prince died, Uncle Gao didn't trust anyone anymore. He kept his life to protect the young prince, and he absolutely didn't want any accident to cause the young prince to be harmed.
After the people left, Jing Changji let out a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to Shang Wei Yin's eyebrows that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "My lord...Mr. Gao doesn't seem to trust his subjects very much."
Wei Yin said ambiguously: "It's enough for me to trust you." But that's obviously all he said.
Jing Changji didn't think that Wei Yin trusted him, perhaps even more suspicious of him than Gao Bo.
But Jing Changji doesn't care, it's safe to have doubts, at least before knowing whether it's an enemy or a friend, the two are currently mutually beneficial, Wei Yin will at least protect him.
After all, he also took Wei Yin's three lives. Just because of this, he couldn't let himself die.
Wei Yin's coming to see Jing Changji was not just a matter of Uncle Gao: "In a few days, we will worship the ancestors, and the emperor may let you enter the palace tomorrow."
"Let the courtiers enter the palace? Why?" Jing Changji was surprised, such things as worshiping ancestors, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with him, right?
Wei Yin gave him a deep look: "Concubine Liu Gui's condition has improved, and she will go to Yunchan Temple for two days to fulfill her vows before offering sacrifices to the ancestors. The prince is preparing for all ancestor worship matters this time, including protecting Concubine Liu Gui, so go to Yunchan Temple was escorted by him for two days. As for why you were allowed to enter the palace, it was because the crown prince said that you saved him at the beginning. He went with him."
Jing Changji pursed his lips in confusion, what does the prince mean?Win him over or plan to do what the first life did again?
He didn't believe that the prince was so kind and still remembered his so-called life-saving grace.
But Concubine Liu Gui's illness will be cured and she will make a special trip to live in Yunchan Temple for two days. No matter how she looks at it, it's tricky. Doesn't she want to see Xu Yilin?
Even if Concubine Liu Gui didn't mean that, but what about Xu Yilin?
After finally catching this opportunity to meet my sweetheart, I'm afraid I will definitely find a way to meet him, right?There is no guarantee that Xu Yilin will not be found out by then.
Only when Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian are completely dealt with can he feel at ease, otherwise there is no guarantee that one day these two people will not attack their brothers again.
Thinking of this, Jing Changji took a deep breath: "I know."
Wei Yin was not surprised by his decision, since the other party mentioned Xu Yilin and Concubine Liu when he left the palace earlier, Wei Yin guessed his answer, so when the news was delivered to him, he didn't let anyone try to push it away.
Wei Yin: "Since you're fine, come and play chess with me."
Jing Changji was still thinking about something, when he heard it suddenly, he was taken aback: "Isn't it night?"
Wei Yin glanced at him: "This king told you such an important news in advance, isn't it worth the next game?"
Jing Changji: "..." Even if he doesn't tell, he will be told tomorrow, right?
But does he dare to say that?He didn't dare, Zuo Zuo was supposed to play chess with Wei Yin every day, so it didn't matter if he played chess early or late.
It's just that one set was played and another set was played until night, when Jing Changji reminded: "My lord, it's getting late."
Wei Yin was excited: "No hurry, you are going to Yunchan Temple in the next two days, can't you leave now?"
Jing Changji thought about it and forgot it, it was repaid in advance.
It's just that when they entered the palace the next day, Jing Changji heard the list of going to Yunchan Temple together, and Wei Yin was on the list.
So he played chess with Wei Yin for most of the night last night, there is no so-called compensation at all, just a routine fulfillment of the agreement last night, right?
Thinking back to what Wei Yin said last night, he misunderstood that it was repayment, but the other party didn't say a word that he would not go, and he didn't say that he paid back most of the night in advance.
Profiteer!
Jing Changji received the decree and went out of the palace to go back to the palace to pack his bags.
This time I will live in Yunchan Temple for two days, so I need to bring some change of clothes.
He still needs to make some arrangements for his brother's two days in the palace. Of course, the most important point is that he has to go with Wei Yin.
Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian are in the dark, so it's hard to guarantee that Xia Houqian hasn't given up on taking his brother's life.
Xia Houqian couldn't get in the Wang's mansion, in case he got his idea, staying with Wei Yin was the safest.
When Jing Changji arrived at the gate of the palace, everything was ready outside. Apart from the accompanying maids and guards, all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous carriages were also lined up.
The young man in the lead was dressed in armor, riding on a tall horse, and looking here with lowered eyes.
Jing Changji raised his eyes and met the prince's heavy gaze.
I don't know if the sun is too poisonous, or the prince's complexion is too pale, almost transparent.
Jing Changji raised his eyebrows, he was in a happy mood, it seemed that he had guessed well, the prince was indeed seriously injured when he was assassinated at the birthday banquet last time.
But in order not to let outsiders see, he not only concealed it, but also personally escorted his father's imperial concubine. Does this mean that the prince is filial?Or endure the humiliation?
The prince saw Jing Changji get off his horse, looked at Jing Changji, but didn't speak.
Jing Changji stepped forward to salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince said gently: "Second Young Master is an isolated savior, so you don't need to be so polite."
Jing Changji: He didn't see at all that the prince really regarded him as a benefactor.
The prince continued to show concern, and he kept in mind the original saving feelings in his words, and asked the accompanying general Wu to look at Jing Changji more.
The outside rumors are not true, don't they all say that the prince didn't care about what happened back then?Doesn't it seem very important now?
It seems that the prince is really a person who values friendship, and he is worthy of his reputation outside these years.
Jing Changji caught the eyes of others, and he said, feelings are waiting for him here.
Not only can he win him over, but he can also be praised by outsiders, killing two birds with one stone, wonderful!
After the crown prince's polite greetings, he made a final decision: "This place is still some distance away from Prince Rui's mansion, Gu will send Second Young Master back to the mansion first, and then come back together."
Everyone's eyes were on the two of them. Although there was a distance, wouldn't it be enough to just send someone to see them off?I made a special trip to send it off, because I am afraid that the second son will be assassinated like the previous eldest son?
The prince really cares about his savior!
How can Jing Changji make the prince fulfill his wish: "Your Highness's kind ministers are grateful, but..." He had a timely embarrassment on his face, he didn't know what to think, and his ears were slightly red, "The prince is still waiting for the ministers in the mansion, I'm afraid it's not right .”
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly remembered the relationship between the Second Young Master and Prince Rui.
This is Prince Rui's person, although the prince has good intentions, but after all such a show of favor will make Prince Rui misunderstand whether there is something wrong between the two of them.
Jing Changji's right words cut off the way for the prince to send him off.
If the prince continues to embarrass others, it is not revenge, but revenge.
The prince is still gentle and refined: "Since this is the case, I can only do it next time."
Jing Changji just smiled: Next time?Or dream faster.
The prince waited for Jing Changji's carriage to leave before he slowly turned around to look at it. Looking at the vehicle that was gradually moving away, his phoenix eyes were inexplicably dark and deep.
Jing Changji went back to the palace to meet his elder brother first, and after making arrangements, he took the package he had prepared last night to find Wei Yin.
The carriage has been prepared, there are three in total, one is a gorgeous carriage for Wei Yin's daily travel, and the other two are Wei Yin's daily needs for the past two days.
Jing Changji stood in front of the carriage, looked at the two full luggage behind him, and then looked at the lonely luggage in his hand. Compared with this, why did he feel so miserable?
At this time, the curtain of the leading carriage lifted, revealing Wei Yin's face: "Still coming up?"
Jing Changji wasn't too polite, it was safest to stay in Wei Yin's carriage, and he didn't dare to be polite, if Wei Yin said something polite, and Wei Yin took it seriously, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
These three are just the main carriage, the housekeeper, guards and attendants are in another carriage, waiting to join the prince and others. Not long after, Concubine Liu Gui arrived.
The carriage that came out of the palace was even more magnificent, surrounded by layers of veils, making it even more unusual.
Curiously, Jing Changji opened a corner of the bamboo curtain on the window lattice to look, but he didn't see Concubine Liu Gui's real face, but saw an unexpected person.
It was Wu Ji dressed in an ordinary white robe.
After thinking about it, Jing Changji understood that Wu Ji was the teacher of the state, and this time the ancestor worship must have Wu Ji sit in charge.
Emperor Chengxian cared so much about Concubine Liu Gui that he asked Wu Ji to go with him in advance, fearing that he would ask Concubine Liu Gui's safety by the way.
When Jing Changji looked at Wu Ji, he happened to look over.
Jing Changji opened most of the bamboo curtain, and silently waved at Wu Ji.
With a gentle smile on the corner of Wu Ji's mouth, he gestured to him, and was quickly called away to his carriage.
Jing Changji didn't put down the bamboo curtain until he couldn't see Wu Ji's figure. As soon as he sat down, he saw Wei Yin looking at him expressionlessly.
Jing Changji was startled: "What's wrong?"
Wei Yin withdrew his gaze, and said in a cool voice, unable to detect any emotion, "The second son is familiar with the national teacher."
Jing Changji touched his nose, he couldn't say that they knew each other in the first life, so they were naturally familiar.
"The national teacher stays alone in the national teacher's hall. It's rare to meet such a good-looking and good-natured person. Naturally, the minister wants to make friends." Jing Changji casually found a reason to return.
Wei Yin gave him a weird look: "Good-looking? Good-natured? Are you sure?"
Jing Changji's eyes fell on Wei Yin's overly good-looking face. Of course, it depends on who he compares with. In the eyes of this master, anyone who can't compare with him is not good-looking, right?
He touched his face, wondering if he was good-looking in this guy's eyes?
It should be pretty, right?Otherwise, the Lord would not let himself pretend to be his favorite.
Jing Changji was afraid of offending Wei Yin, so he just smiled and didn't answer: Whatever you say is right.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yin became even more angry, and ignored Jing Changji along the way.
It wasn't until two hours later that the carriage arrived outside Yunchan Temple.
When Jing Changji got off the carriage, Concubine Liu Gui and others had already been carried up the mountain by the attendants in sedan chairs.
After Wei Yin got off the carriage, the butler also had the sedan chair ready.
The two sedan chairs were placed one behind the other, which surprised Jing Changji. He thought that Wei Yin would make him go straight up the mountain when he was angry.
Or is this a previous arrangement?Will Wei Yin be so angry that he will be withdrawn immediately?
Wei Yin didn't seem to notice the housekeeper's private arrangement at all, and got on the sedan chair in front first, and soon the eight attendants carried the sedan chair steadily one step ahead.
Jing Changji touched his nose and walked towards his own sedan chair. He was just about to get on the sedan chair when he felt an unfriendly gaze on him. He looked accurately and saw Huo Jinzhou in the line of attendants behind him, who was wearing the attendant's service and looked at you resentfully. he.
Jing Changji was surprised that the prince actually got the protagonist Shouge to be a servant, but what does it have to do with him?
Jing Changji only glanced at Huo Jinzhou indifferently, as if he didn't recognize him at all, and got into the sedan chair directly.
Huo Jinzhou's chest heaved with anger: What is he proud of?What's even more annoying is that the other party didn't recognize him at all?
If Jing Changji hadn't exposed all this, if he was still the benefactor of the prince, how could he be treated like this?
Huo Jinzhou still remembered that he finally found an opportunity to ask the prince for credit, but the prince just kept him in the East Palace, but demoted his position to a servant.
He wants to follow this time, only as an attendant.
Obviously he is so powerful, to help the prince take care of the property, even if he is just an assistant, right?But he became a servant.
Fortunately, it was the prince who was serving him, so he could only endure it.
Jing Changji didn't care what happened to Huo Jinzhou. If the crown prince didn't become the emperor in this life, Huo Jinzhou would be even worse off. The two of them lost the fetters caused by their original kindness. Let's see how far they can go.
As the little emperor's uncle, Wei Yin was arranged in the east courtyard of the backyard of Yunchan Temple, the crown prince was in the west courtyard, and the national teacher lived in the north courtyard.
Concubine Liu Gui has a special status, she lives alone in the innermost courtyard, separated by a large bamboo forest.
As for the others, they were arranged in guest rooms.
Jing Changji was arranged in the side room of Wei Yin's East Courtyard, facing back to back with Wei Yin's main wing room, surrounded by corridors, because it was on the top of the mountain, the scenery was quite elegant.
As soon as Jing Changji put down his things and opened the window lattice to enjoy the scenery outside the window, the housekeeper asked Wei Yin to let him go there.
Jing Changji's expression suddenly became strange: Wei Yin wouldn't let him play chess with him in broad daylight, would he?
Fortunately, when Jing Changji passed by and found that Wei Yin hadn't set the chessboard, he was relieved, and lowered his eyes: "My lord."
Wei Yin raised his eyelids, and only flipped a page of the scroll on the low table: "Close the door."
Jing Changji raised his eyebrows, but he still went to close the door obediently.
It was only after closing that I realized that in this way, wouldn't there be only the two of them left in the room?The door is closed in broad daylight, the windows are not open, and there are rumors about the two of them. If they stay longer, will others imagine something?
Jing Changji moved to the table: "My lord, the place of Qingxiu, if outsiders misunderstand, isn't it too good?"
Wei Yin glanced at him suspiciously, and when he met Shang Jing Changji's eyes full of deep meaning, he realized something and smiled angrily: "This king asked you to turn over the book, what are you doing?"
Jing Changji's ears warmed up: "..." How could he answer this?
Wei Yin: "Or is it that the Second Young Master is actually expecting the outside world to say so?"
Jing Changji hurriedly said, "Nothing."
Wei Yin lowered his head again: "If you don't want to, just open the door."
Jing Changji was just about to answer, but his eyes fell on the cloak that Wei Yin was still wearing, and he realized that the Lord is afraid of the cold, and the mountain is already colder, so he suddenly felt guilty: "No need, I think this It's a bit cold on the mountain, close the door to warm up."
"Don't you think you've been misunderstood now?" Wei Yin snorted softly.
Jing Changji: "The mouth grows on other people, as long as the courtiers and princes are innocent and have a clear conscience, won't it be fine?"
It's just that after saying this, Jing Changji didn't know which sentence was wrong, Wei Yin just supported his head with one hand and ignored people lazily.
Jing Changji was at ease, there was a table with various snacks beside him, he only needed to turn a page of the book when Wei Yin raised his eyes to look at him, and he could eat and drink as he wished during the rest of the time.
It's just that Jing Changji was enjoying his meal, the butler's voice sounded from outside the room: "My lord, the prince is here."
It is obviously the concubine he cares about that can make Emperor Chengxian so angry.
The concubine who entered the palace 20 years ago is still favored... It seems that there is only one, and that is... Concubine Liu Gui?
Jing Changji waited for the carriage to return to the palace, but he didn't come back to his senses. He returned to his yard in a trance, and didn't wake up until Jing Wenwei called out.
No wonder when the emperor left the banquet because Concubine Liu Gui was seriously ill, Xu Yilin was uneasy and even poured tea stains all over her body. It turned out that she was also worried about Concubine Liu Gui.
Even later in the imperial study, Emperor Cheng Xian probably heard about the reason for the tea stain on Xu Yilin's body, and that's why he later beat Xu Yilin to get him to marry a wife as soon as possible.
This is something Jing Changji never expected, that Xu Yilin was actually involved with Concubine Liu Gui.
In this way, it is more likely that Xu Yilin will not hesitate to betray the Xu family and David Dynasty to cooperate with Xia Houqian.
Xia Houqian must have seized some clue that Xu Yilin was threatened and had to choose to cooperate, and this threat probably also involved Concubine Liu Gui.
Otherwise, Xu Yilin would not have taken the risk of doing such a thing.
Jing Changji couldn't feel any sympathy when he thought of Xu Yilin's cruel treatment of his elder brother by the first generation.His infatuation is infatuation, but burying other people's lives for his feelings is not a thing.
"Brother, why haven't you slept yet?" Jing Changji figured out that everything had returned to normal, and tried not to act strange when facing his brother.
Jing Wenwei couldn't sleep, after all, he was entering the palace. Although he was attending a birthday banquet, he couldn't calm down without seeing Jing Changji's safe return: "Is the birthday banquet going well? Why are you back so late?"
He also participated in the birthday banquet, which usually didn't take so long.
Jing Changji concealed the fact that he was suspected by Emperor Chengxian and brought him to the imperial study, and only said that there was an assassin at the birthday banquet, so he was delayed.
After all, the queen mother's assassination is serious, but I can't hide it, and the rest of the matter should not be worried about by my brother for the time being.
Jing Wenwei was shocked: "Assassination in the palace? Who is so courageous? Chang Ji, are you injured?"
Jing Changji shook his head: "I'm fine. I just went to clean the room to avoid the assassin. I don't know the details. I only heard that the prince was injured, but nothing else."
It was said to assassinate the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager has been doing nothing for many years, and she focused on worshiping Buddha all day long. How do you think it is more appropriate to assassinate Emperor Chengxian, so this time it is obviously aimed at the Crown Prince.
As for whether the prince was really only slightly injured, no one knew. Even if it was really seriously injured, the prince would probably find a way to hide it.
Jing Changji doesn't care whether the prince will be injured or not, and whether he can keep the position of the crown prince. He only cares about the two brothers at the moment, and he will first find the people behind the scenes to find a way to solve this crisis.After that, he will find a way to choose another one to assist him. The first life took a detour, and this time the crown prince was the one who was excluded first.
Jing Changji soon rested here, but the East Palace was brightly lit.
Let Jing Changji guess that the birthday banquet hall was in chaos at that time, both the Empress Dowager and Empress were present, and Emperor Chengxian left early because Concubine Liu Guifei's condition worsened.
When Emperor Chengxian left, he also took away most of the imperial guards, which made it impossible for the prince not to protect the queen mother and queen when the assassin came and waited for someone to come to rescue him.
In addition, the assassins were all targeting the crown prince. On the surface, they swarmed towards the queen mother, but the prince stood in front of the queen mother. Who knows whether the target is the queen mother or the prince?So when the rescuers came, the prince was injured, but he was wearing a fancy dress tonight with a lot of clothes, so at first he didn't know whether the injury was serious or not.
The imperial doctor came wave after wave, and the prince didn't wake up until midnight.
The prince was cut on the arm because of excessive blood loss, the wound was deep enough to show the bone, and he bled a lot, almost hurting the meridians in his hand, and there was a knife on the back, which is not light, but as long as he will be raised for a few months , but there is no fear of life.
Empress Huo went to see the queen mother first after the incident, and stayed in the East Palace until the queen mother was seen by the imperial doctor.
Across a curtain, the empress looked at the blurry figure in a very sad mood, and waited until the imperial doctors came out in the middle of the night. When several old imperial doctors saw the empress's appearance, they thought she felt sorry for the prince, and hurriedly saluted: "Empress, Your Highness Hong Fu Qi Tian, his injury has been stabilized, but he may still have a fever at night. It's just that he's bleeding a lot this time and the injury is too serious, so he needs to be taken care of."
Empress Huo hummed: "How long?"
The old doctor: "At least three months."
Empress Huo didn't say anything, but she changed the subject and said, "The assassin hasn't found out yet. The prince was assassinated to save the palace and the queen mother, so he can show his filial piety. It's better not to tell the prince's injury to the outside world, just say that he was slightly injured and it's not a serious problem."
The old doctors were taken aback for a moment, and then they thought that if the prince was seriously injured, it might be that the prince below had thoughts, but this is not something they can hide if they want to: "But the emperor..."
Empress Huo didn't care: "I will tell the emperor about it."
The old imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't want to participate in this matter, so they left the East Palace first after they agreed repeatedly.
Only then did Empress Huo look at the old nanny next to her, who was instructed to leave the bedroom with the rest of the people quickly.
Only then did Empress Huo step up and slowly opened the curtain to look at the prince lying there with a large gauze wrapped around his back and arms, frowning.
When the prince heard the footsteps, he reluctantly turned his head to look. His lips were pale, and his originally cold brows and eyes were much rarer and more fragile. Looking at the mother who had been guarding him until midnight, his heart warmed, his dry lips moved, gently Call out: "Mother, son..." It's okay...
It's just that the last two words of the prince have not been uttered yet, Empress Huo's dignified and virtuous eyebrows turned cold, with disappointment and displeasure: "Prince, you have disappointed me so much."
The blood in the prince's body cooled down again, he pursed his lips tightly, his heart seemed to be clenched, and he lowered his eyes after a long while, covering the flashing self-mockery in his eyes: the mother was strict with him since he was a child, and he just thought, Think……
It took a while for the prince to return to normal: "I know my mistake."
Empress Huo sat aside, fixedly looking at the crown prince: "The queen mother doesn't have to be so strict with you, but you also saw it tonight, on the queen mother's birthday, he left the banquet halfway because of that bitch, but he just fell ill. , but it seems to kill him. Once you are one step behind, or even if you do not do well enough to please him, what is waiting for you? The second prince from Concubine Liu took your place and took your place. When the second prince ascends the throne, not only you, but even the queen mother will be in trouble, do you understand? If the queen mother is not on your side, you can really be established as the crown prince if you are the eldest son?"
The crown prince has heard these words countless times, but even though he knows that it is for his own good, since he was a child, he still wants to feel a little bit of concern from his mother for him occasionally, instead of being cold and mocking every time.
The prince lowered his eyes: "I know that my mother is always good for my son. This time, my son is incompetent and neglects to practice. After he recovers from his injury, he must work hard and not let his mother down."
Only then was Queen Huo satisfied: "The queen mother knows that you are a good child, but you have disappointed the queen too much this time. You can be injured in the palace. If you meet an assassin outside the palace, will you survive? And this The second injury, the queen mother has asked the imperial doctor to say that it is only a minor injury. In order to act more like it, she will go to court as usual after a few days of recuperation. Don't let the second prince and the others see the clue.
When the time comes, take this opportunity to trick your father, and your hard work will be in vain.As for your injury, don't listen to what the imperial doctor said was so serious, and if you ask people to increase the dose of the medicine, it will heal faster. "
The prince's hand on the inside was clenched tightly until the palm felt sticky, and the rules were followed: "My son, please remember."
Only then was Empress Huo satisfied, and she didn't go to see the prince again. When she turned around, she regained her dignified and virtuous appearance, called people in and drove back to the palace.
After the queen and her party left, the prince lay there silently with his eyes closed, and no one dared to disturb him.
Outside the bedroom, Huo Jinzhou peeked in secretly. If he didn't know the plot, he would definitely take this opportunity to show his courtesy.
After all, when a person is injured, his heart is the most fragile and the most easily moved, but he knows very well that at this time, he must not touch the bad head.
The outside world said that Queen Huo attached great importance to the prince. Only Huo Jinzhou, who had watched the plot, knew that the queen had been very strict with the prince since he was a child, and he had no warmth at all. He began to treat the prince with the most severe methods from the age of two or three.
If the homework cannot be done, or Emperor Chengxian goes to Concubine Liu Gui again, then the prince will be scolded.
When the prince was older, the scolding disappeared, but it was replaced by whipping.
Growing up in the royal family, the crown prince received as much honor as the crown prince, and he was also under great pressure. Every time the prince saw Queen Huo, he would be scolded, and this time it may still be the case.
Huo Jinzhou worked so hard to turn over the prince's assets. After thinking about it, he planned to look for an opportunity tomorrow to show his presence in front of the prince.
The prince in the hall soon fell asleep again because of his injuries. He was in pain all over his body. This feeling was very familiar. It made his consciousness sink down until he finally fell into the water.
At the moment when he was swallowed by the water, the prince seemed to be dreaming about his assassination four years ago. By the lakeside of the Lingjiang River, his eyes could not see because of the Five Poisons, but the inaudible voice seemed to come from his ears again. into the ears.
But this time it was very clear, the prince felt as if he opened his eyes in the water, and in the drowsy lake, he saw a figure swimming towards him.
Until he got close, the young man's beautiful appearance was perfect against the smile on his lips, and his gentle voice seemed to be able to soothe all his pain: "Your Highness..."
The prince opened his eyes suddenly, everything in front of him disappeared, and he didn't realize it was his bedroom until he regained consciousness. On one side was a kneeling servant, holding a tray with a bowl of steaming soup on it. Staring like this, trembling all over: "Your Highness, it's time to drink medicine."
The prince didn't know why he dreamed of Jing Changji, but he saved him once back then, that's all, not to mention that he had already repaid the kindness.
Taking a deep breath, the prince suppressed the urge to overturn the medicine bowl, lowered his eyes, his eyes were indifferent and gloomy, and tried to prop up his body, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't seem to feel any pain until he sat up and lifted it The medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and threw the bowl back: "Get out." The cold three words are colder than the night, making people chill.
Huo Jinzhou originally wanted to go to the prince the next day to show his presence, but the prince refused to see people on the grounds that he was injured and needed to be taken care of. At the same time, he also excluded them, people from the East Palace.
He couldn't see the prince's face for several days.
Emperor Chengxian knew that the crown prince wanted to come and have a look because he wanted to save the queen mother and the queen was injured. One thing was to investigate the assassin; He didn't even care about the prince.
Later, I wanted to go and have a look, but the East Palace sent me the news that it was just a minor injury, and it would be fine to rest for a few days. In addition, the queen also came here to talk about it, so Emperor Chengxian just rewarded some things for people to bring. A few words of praise, that's all.
The story of the assassin soon became clear, and when it reached Jing Changji's ears, he didn't believe a word.
Jing Changji just checked Jing Wenwei's body, and he recovered well, and he will be no different from before after a period of time.
"How could a deputy commander of the forbidden army do such a big thing?" Jing Wenwei didn't believe it. He sent so many dead soldiers with great fanfare, but in the end it was just because he wanted to assassinate the queen mother?
Jing Changji didn't believe it either: "The commander of the forbidden army was dismissed by Emperor Cheng Xian when something happened that night, and he was investigated by General Zhen Guo, General Wu. The result should not be wrong, at least on the surface."
General Wu was the veteran who supported Emperor Chengxian back then, and General Wu's daughter was the Concubine Wuxian in the palace. With this level of in-law relationship, General Wu was trusted by Emperor Chengxian.
The third prince was born of Concubine Wu Xian. If Jing Changji hadn't known about Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian's private affairs, he might have felt that it was possible that the Wu family had attacked the prince in order to help the third prince rise to power.
But this matter is obviously unlikely, after all, even if there is no crown prince, there will still be the second and fourth princes from Concubine Liu Gui.
The assassination on the night of the birthday banquet was suppressed at first, and later it was only ambiguous that someone was assassinated, but the specific circumstances were not known, and they only thought it was an ordinary assassin.
Regardless of what Emperor Chengxian thought about the outcome of this assassination, the result was that Emperor Chengxian agreed with General Wu. The deputy commander of the forbidden army was sent to prison, and the commander of the forbidden army was dismissed.
A few days later, the prince reappeared, and was rewarded by Emperor Chengxian, and he handed over the matter of worshiping the ancestors to the prince in the near future.
Jing Changji was not idle during this time, and asked Xu Chunsheng to continue to follow Xu Yilin, and notify him immediately if there was any weird behavior.
Jia Maohan asked him to investigate the events of the year, especially Concubine Liu Gui.
Jing Changji was afraid that Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian would attack them again if they didn't give up, just in case he hadn't been idle during this time, and tried to earn some points, so that he could at least save his life in a critical moment.
Jing Changji had just returned to the palace from outside that day, and the housekeeper had been waiting for him long ago: "Second Young Master, the lord has an invitation."
Although Jing Changji was surprised why Wei Yin was looking for him at this time, he would accompany him to play chess every night as he promised at the beginning.
Jing Changji was taken outside Wei Yin's courtyard, and when he got close, the housekeeper stopped and dared not go forward: "My lord let the second son go in alone."
Jing Changji didn't delay much, and walked in quickly. He came here often recently, and he was very familiar with Wei Yin's courtyard.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
Wei Yin's voice came from the room, without any ups and downs: "Come in."
Jing Changji stepped in and walked in, and before he even raised his eyes after entering, he clearly felt a gaze falling on him. He raised his eyes vigilantly, and met a pair of eagle eyes with many sharp wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Jing Changji looked at Uncle Gao, unexpectedly, the last time we met, he had performed an operation on him to wake him up, and he didn't expect to recover so soon.
When Jing Changji faced Wei Yin, he always called Gao Bo a nobleman, so he bowed his hands as if he didn't know the identity of the other party, and then turned his head to look at Wei Yin who was reclining on the soft couch: "My lord."
Gao Bo had already put away his scrutinizing gaze, and saw that he was just a young man with sharp brows and eyes softened a lot.
Wei Yin raised his chin towards Uncle Gao: "I called you this time because Uncle Gao wanted to see you."
Jing Changji turned from Shanru to the past: "Mr. Gao."
Gao Bo smiled: "Second Young Master, you are polite, Gao is only a martial artist, and cannot be a gentleman."
Jing Changji just smiled.
Uncle Gao was curious about Jing Changji. He had been awake for a while, but he just lay down for a few years, and all kinds of body functions needed to recover slowly.
Fortunately, he is a martial arts practitioner, so he recovered quickly.
It's just that the toxins in the body still need to be cleared, and I haven't taken time to see the second son who is said to have rescued him with superb medical skills.
Uncle Gao became even more curious when he saw Jing Changji. At the beginning, he was full of vigilance when he heard the prince mentioned it. After all, such a person suddenly appeared, not only knew everything about him, but the prince could not find out.
A person who can't be controlled, but also has a genius, this kind of person will either be used for himself, or will be a big enemy, which is an odd number.
But unexpectedly, the other party's appearance is not only surprisingly good, but also extremely young, with clear and black pupils, soft eyebrows and eyes, at least from the appearance, he doesn't look like a treacherous person.
After all, it was the benefactor who saved his life. Uncle Gao's original vigilance has been reduced a lot, but it still hasn't been completely eliminated.
"I heard that the Second Young Master has superb medical skills. Gao's injury was healed by the Second Young Master? Gao is curious about who the Second Young Master taught him?"
"This... I can't say it. Master, the old man is an outsider. He said that he doesn't want to get involved in court disputes, and he doesn't want to be contaminated by the world. Teaching me this medical skill is just to watch me lose my mother when I was young, and two brothers survive. It was difficult, and I happened to help him a lot by coincidence when I was a child, so I taught me this medical skill in order to repay this kindness." Jing Changji had already thought of an excuse when he asked Wei Yin, and now I have thought about this excuse thousands of times, and there is no psychological burden to say it.
It is impossible for Uncle Gao to directly ask who his master is. Since he is an outsider, he should be a reclusive master.
Although the toxins in Gao Bo's body have begun to be eliminated, they have not been completely eliminated, and his body is also prone to fatigue. After asking a few words, he did not get any useful information at all. The other party did not want to tell him about the elimination, so he could only suppress his heart Be vigilant and go back first.
At least for now, the second son is harmless to the prince.
Ever since the old prince died, Uncle Gao didn't trust anyone anymore. He kept his life to protect the young prince, and he absolutely didn't want any accident to cause the young prince to be harmed.
After the people left, Jing Changji let out a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to Shang Wei Yin's eyebrows that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "My lord...Mr. Gao doesn't seem to trust his subjects very much."
Wei Yin said ambiguously: "It's enough for me to trust you." But that's obviously all he said.
Jing Changji didn't think that Wei Yin trusted him, perhaps even more suspicious of him than Gao Bo.
But Jing Changji doesn't care, it's safe to have doubts, at least before knowing whether it's an enemy or a friend, the two are currently mutually beneficial, Wei Yin will at least protect him.
After all, he also took Wei Yin's three lives. Just because of this, he couldn't let himself die.
Wei Yin's coming to see Jing Changji was not just a matter of Uncle Gao: "In a few days, we will worship the ancestors, and the emperor may let you enter the palace tomorrow."
"Let the courtiers enter the palace? Why?" Jing Changji was surprised, such things as worshiping ancestors, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with him, right?
Wei Yin gave him a deep look: "Concubine Liu Gui's condition has improved, and she will go to Yunchan Temple for two days to fulfill her vows before offering sacrifices to the ancestors. The prince is preparing for all ancestor worship matters this time, including protecting Concubine Liu Gui, so go to Yunchan Temple was escorted by him for two days. As for why you were allowed to enter the palace, it was because the crown prince said that you saved him at the beginning. He went with him."
Jing Changji pursed his lips in confusion, what does the prince mean?Win him over or plan to do what the first life did again?
He didn't believe that the prince was so kind and still remembered his so-called life-saving grace.
But Concubine Liu Gui's illness will be cured and she will make a special trip to live in Yunchan Temple for two days. No matter how she looks at it, it's tricky. Doesn't she want to see Xu Yilin?
Even if Concubine Liu Gui didn't mean that, but what about Xu Yilin?
After finally catching this opportunity to meet my sweetheart, I'm afraid I will definitely find a way to meet him, right?There is no guarantee that Xu Yilin will not be found out by then.
Only when Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian are completely dealt with can he feel at ease, otherwise there is no guarantee that one day these two people will not attack their brothers again.
Thinking of this, Jing Changji took a deep breath: "I know."
Wei Yin was not surprised by his decision, since the other party mentioned Xu Yilin and Concubine Liu when he left the palace earlier, Wei Yin guessed his answer, so when the news was delivered to him, he didn't let anyone try to push it away.
Wei Yin: "Since you're fine, come and play chess with me."
Jing Changji was still thinking about something, when he heard it suddenly, he was taken aback: "Isn't it night?"
Wei Yin glanced at him: "This king told you such an important news in advance, isn't it worth the next game?"
Jing Changji: "..." Even if he doesn't tell, he will be told tomorrow, right?
But does he dare to say that?He didn't dare, Zuo Zuo was supposed to play chess with Wei Yin every day, so it didn't matter if he played chess early or late.
It's just that one set was played and another set was played until night, when Jing Changji reminded: "My lord, it's getting late."
Wei Yin was excited: "No hurry, you are going to Yunchan Temple in the next two days, can't you leave now?"
Jing Changji thought about it and forgot it, it was repaid in advance.
It's just that when they entered the palace the next day, Jing Changji heard the list of going to Yunchan Temple together, and Wei Yin was on the list.
So he played chess with Wei Yin for most of the night last night, there is no so-called compensation at all, just a routine fulfillment of the agreement last night, right?
Thinking back to what Wei Yin said last night, he misunderstood that it was repayment, but the other party didn't say a word that he would not go, and he didn't say that he paid back most of the night in advance.
Profiteer!
Jing Changji received the decree and went out of the palace to go back to the palace to pack his bags.
This time I will live in Yunchan Temple for two days, so I need to bring some change of clothes.
He still needs to make some arrangements for his brother's two days in the palace. Of course, the most important point is that he has to go with Wei Yin.
Xu Yilin and Xia Houqian are in the dark, so it's hard to guarantee that Xia Houqian hasn't given up on taking his brother's life.
Xia Houqian couldn't get in the Wang's mansion, in case he got his idea, staying with Wei Yin was the safest.
When Jing Changji arrived at the gate of the palace, everything was ready outside. Apart from the accompanying maids and guards, all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous carriages were also lined up.
The young man in the lead was dressed in armor, riding on a tall horse, and looking here with lowered eyes.
Jing Changji raised his eyes and met the prince's heavy gaze.
I don't know if the sun is too poisonous, or the prince's complexion is too pale, almost transparent.
Jing Changji raised his eyebrows, he was in a happy mood, it seemed that he had guessed well, the prince was indeed seriously injured when he was assassinated at the birthday banquet last time.
But in order not to let outsiders see, he not only concealed it, but also personally escorted his father's imperial concubine. Does this mean that the prince is filial?Or endure the humiliation?
The prince saw Jing Changji get off his horse, looked at Jing Changji, but didn't speak.
Jing Changji stepped forward to salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince said gently: "Second Young Master is an isolated savior, so you don't need to be so polite."
Jing Changji: He didn't see at all that the prince really regarded him as a benefactor.
The prince continued to show concern, and he kept in mind the original saving feelings in his words, and asked the accompanying general Wu to look at Jing Changji more.
The outside rumors are not true, don't they all say that the prince didn't care about what happened back then?Doesn't it seem very important now?
It seems that the prince is really a person who values friendship, and he is worthy of his reputation outside these years.
Jing Changji caught the eyes of others, and he said, feelings are waiting for him here.
Not only can he win him over, but he can also be praised by outsiders, killing two birds with one stone, wonderful!
After the crown prince's polite greetings, he made a final decision: "This place is still some distance away from Prince Rui's mansion, Gu will send Second Young Master back to the mansion first, and then come back together."
Everyone's eyes were on the two of them. Although there was a distance, wouldn't it be enough to just send someone to see them off?I made a special trip to send it off, because I am afraid that the second son will be assassinated like the previous eldest son?
The prince really cares about his savior!
How can Jing Changji make the prince fulfill his wish: "Your Highness's kind ministers are grateful, but..." He had a timely embarrassment on his face, he didn't know what to think, and his ears were slightly red, "The prince is still waiting for the ministers in the mansion, I'm afraid it's not right .”
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly remembered the relationship between the Second Young Master and Prince Rui.
This is Prince Rui's person, although the prince has good intentions, but after all such a show of favor will make Prince Rui misunderstand whether there is something wrong between the two of them.
Jing Changji's right words cut off the way for the prince to send him off.
If the prince continues to embarrass others, it is not revenge, but revenge.
The prince is still gentle and refined: "Since this is the case, I can only do it next time."
Jing Changji just smiled: Next time?Or dream faster.
The prince waited for Jing Changji's carriage to leave before he slowly turned around to look at it. Looking at the vehicle that was gradually moving away, his phoenix eyes were inexplicably dark and deep.
Jing Changji went back to the palace to meet his elder brother first, and after making arrangements, he took the package he had prepared last night to find Wei Yin.
The carriage has been prepared, there are three in total, one is a gorgeous carriage for Wei Yin's daily travel, and the other two are Wei Yin's daily needs for the past two days.
Jing Changji stood in front of the carriage, looked at the two full luggage behind him, and then looked at the lonely luggage in his hand. Compared with this, why did he feel so miserable?
At this time, the curtain of the leading carriage lifted, revealing Wei Yin's face: "Still coming up?"
Jing Changji wasn't too polite, it was safest to stay in Wei Yin's carriage, and he didn't dare to be polite, if Wei Yin said something polite, and Wei Yin took it seriously, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
These three are just the main carriage, the housekeeper, guards and attendants are in another carriage, waiting to join the prince and others. Not long after, Concubine Liu Gui arrived.
The carriage that came out of the palace was even more magnificent, surrounded by layers of veils, making it even more unusual.
Curiously, Jing Changji opened a corner of the bamboo curtain on the window lattice to look, but he didn't see Concubine Liu Gui's real face, but saw an unexpected person.
It was Wu Ji dressed in an ordinary white robe.
After thinking about it, Jing Changji understood that Wu Ji was the teacher of the state, and this time the ancestor worship must have Wu Ji sit in charge.
Emperor Chengxian cared so much about Concubine Liu Gui that he asked Wu Ji to go with him in advance, fearing that he would ask Concubine Liu Gui's safety by the way.
When Jing Changji looked at Wu Ji, he happened to look over.
Jing Changji opened most of the bamboo curtain, and silently waved at Wu Ji.
With a gentle smile on the corner of Wu Ji's mouth, he gestured to him, and was quickly called away to his carriage.
Jing Changji didn't put down the bamboo curtain until he couldn't see Wu Ji's figure. As soon as he sat down, he saw Wei Yin looking at him expressionlessly.
Jing Changji was startled: "What's wrong?"
Wei Yin withdrew his gaze, and said in a cool voice, unable to detect any emotion, "The second son is familiar with the national teacher."
Jing Changji touched his nose, he couldn't say that they knew each other in the first life, so they were naturally familiar.
"The national teacher stays alone in the national teacher's hall. It's rare to meet such a good-looking and good-natured person. Naturally, the minister wants to make friends." Jing Changji casually found a reason to return.
Wei Yin gave him a weird look: "Good-looking? Good-natured? Are you sure?"
Jing Changji's eyes fell on Wei Yin's overly good-looking face. Of course, it depends on who he compares with. In the eyes of this master, anyone who can't compare with him is not good-looking, right?
He touched his face, wondering if he was good-looking in this guy's eyes?
It should be pretty, right?Otherwise, the Lord would not let himself pretend to be his favorite.
Jing Changji was afraid of offending Wei Yin, so he just smiled and didn't answer: Whatever you say is right.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yin became even more angry, and ignored Jing Changji along the way.
It wasn't until two hours later that the carriage arrived outside Yunchan Temple.
When Jing Changji got off the carriage, Concubine Liu Gui and others had already been carried up the mountain by the attendants in sedan chairs.
After Wei Yin got off the carriage, the butler also had the sedan chair ready.
The two sedan chairs were placed one behind the other, which surprised Jing Changji. He thought that Wei Yin would make him go straight up the mountain when he was angry.
Or is this a previous arrangement?Will Wei Yin be so angry that he will be withdrawn immediately?
Wei Yin didn't seem to notice the housekeeper's private arrangement at all, and got on the sedan chair in front first, and soon the eight attendants carried the sedan chair steadily one step ahead.
Jing Changji touched his nose and walked towards his own sedan chair. He was just about to get on the sedan chair when he felt an unfriendly gaze on him. He looked accurately and saw Huo Jinzhou in the line of attendants behind him, who was wearing the attendant's service and looked at you resentfully. he.
Jing Changji was surprised that the prince actually got the protagonist Shouge to be a servant, but what does it have to do with him?
Jing Changji only glanced at Huo Jinzhou indifferently, as if he didn't recognize him at all, and got into the sedan chair directly.
Huo Jinzhou's chest heaved with anger: What is he proud of?What's even more annoying is that the other party didn't recognize him at all?
If Jing Changji hadn't exposed all this, if he was still the benefactor of the prince, how could he be treated like this?
Huo Jinzhou still remembered that he finally found an opportunity to ask the prince for credit, but the prince just kept him in the East Palace, but demoted his position to a servant.
He wants to follow this time, only as an attendant.
Obviously he is so powerful, to help the prince take care of the property, even if he is just an assistant, right?But he became a servant.
Fortunately, it was the prince who was serving him, so he could only endure it.
Jing Changji didn't care what happened to Huo Jinzhou. If the crown prince didn't become the emperor in this life, Huo Jinzhou would be even worse off. The two of them lost the fetters caused by their original kindness. Let's see how far they can go.
As the little emperor's uncle, Wei Yin was arranged in the east courtyard of the backyard of Yunchan Temple, the crown prince was in the west courtyard, and the national teacher lived in the north courtyard.
Concubine Liu Gui has a special status, she lives alone in the innermost courtyard, separated by a large bamboo forest.
As for the others, they were arranged in guest rooms.
Jing Changji was arranged in the side room of Wei Yin's East Courtyard, facing back to back with Wei Yin's main wing room, surrounded by corridors, because it was on the top of the mountain, the scenery was quite elegant.
As soon as Jing Changji put down his things and opened the window lattice to enjoy the scenery outside the window, the housekeeper asked Wei Yin to let him go there.
Jing Changji's expression suddenly became strange: Wei Yin wouldn't let him play chess with him in broad daylight, would he?
Fortunately, when Jing Changji passed by and found that Wei Yin hadn't set the chessboard, he was relieved, and lowered his eyes: "My lord."
Wei Yin raised his eyelids, and only flipped a page of the scroll on the low table: "Close the door."
Jing Changji raised his eyebrows, but he still went to close the door obediently.
It was only after closing that I realized that in this way, wouldn't there be only the two of them left in the room?The door is closed in broad daylight, the windows are not open, and there are rumors about the two of them. If they stay longer, will others imagine something?
Jing Changji moved to the table: "My lord, the place of Qingxiu, if outsiders misunderstand, isn't it too good?"
Wei Yin glanced at him suspiciously, and when he met Shang Jing Changji's eyes full of deep meaning, he realized something and smiled angrily: "This king asked you to turn over the book, what are you doing?"
Jing Changji's ears warmed up: "..." How could he answer this?
Wei Yin: "Or is it that the Second Young Master is actually expecting the outside world to say so?"
Jing Changji hurriedly said, "Nothing."
Wei Yin lowered his head again: "If you don't want to, just open the door."
Jing Changji was just about to answer, but his eyes fell on the cloak that Wei Yin was still wearing, and he realized that the Lord is afraid of the cold, and the mountain is already colder, so he suddenly felt guilty: "No need, I think this It's a bit cold on the mountain, close the door to warm up."
"Don't you think you've been misunderstood now?" Wei Yin snorted softly.
Jing Changji: "The mouth grows on other people, as long as the courtiers and princes are innocent and have a clear conscience, won't it be fine?"
It's just that after saying this, Jing Changji didn't know which sentence was wrong, Wei Yin just supported his head with one hand and ignored people lazily.
Jing Changji was at ease, there was a table with various snacks beside him, he only needed to turn a page of the book when Wei Yin raised his eyes to look at him, and he could eat and drink as he wished during the rest of the time.
It's just that Jing Changji was enjoying his meal, the butler's voice sounded from outside the room: "My lord, the prince is here."
