Jing Changji frowned when he heard about this, and his face was not very good: "Brother, will everyone be present?"

His stomach is almost four months old. Although he tried his best to control his figure, if he was wearing an official robe, it would not be obvious when he was standing because it was loose and his chest was not too strong.

But as soon as he sat down, he could still see the difference when he looked closely, which is why Jing Changji tried his best not to leave the house during this period of time.

Unexpectedly, with only a few days left before him to leave, Emperor Chengxian made such a palace banquet.

Brother Jing is also full of worry: "It is said that the national teacher is watching the stars at night. Tonight is a good day. Getting blessings from all the officials will make the little prince happy and prosperous, and at the same time bring prosperity to the David Dynasty. Emperor Chengxian I have always trusted the national teacher, and the national teacher is indeed capable, so it is said to pray for the little prince, but in fact the focus should be on the prosperity of the country. The palace sent a special invitation card, saying that... as long as there is an official position in the Those who are not born will enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and your name is also on the list, second brother."

Jing Changji hadn't been in the palace much since he was about to leave Beijing, so he didn't know that Wu Ji had detected these things. If he could know in advance...he would simply leave early.

Jing Changji raised his head and looked at the sky, always feeling ominous, he was worried that something big would happen at the palace banquet tonight.

But thinking about the first life, nothing happened at this time, maybe I was thinking too much.

In the first life, Concubine Liu Gui didn't seem to be pregnant at this time, this...

In the end, Jing Changji still decided to go to the banquet. He didn't want to cause trouble for his elder brother before leaving. As long as he was careful, his belly should not be found.

After dark, Jing Changji entered the palace with Brother Jing.

It was already the end of August, and the weather was sweltering and hot. In order to avoid being discovered, Jing Changji wore a short skirt under his official robe.

Although it was hotter with an extra piece of clothing, but with an extra piece of clothing inside, it made his stomach look less obvious from the outside.

At the gate of the palace, Brother Jing went to the carriage first. Although he was waiting at the side, he was always watching Jing Changji next to him, for fear that he would fall when he got off the carriage.

Jing Changji moved very slowly, and he himself had been very careful all the time. When his feet were on the stable ground, even he was relieved.

But just this way, Jing Changji felt a layer of sweat all over his body, as if he was fished out of the water.

Not to mention that the next step is to walk from the gate of the palace to the imperial garden to attend the palace banquet.

Brother Jing obviously realized this too, his face became more rigid, he approached him pretending to be a good brother, and lowered his voice: "Can you hold on? Or go back, there are so many officials, the emperor may not be able to notice you."

Jing Changji shook his head after thinking about it. Emperor Chengxian might not notice it, but this time it was apparently to celebrate the heir of the dragon, and Concubine Liu Gui would definitely be there.

If Concubine Liu Gui catches the handle, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in the last few days.

Brother Jing also thought of Concubine Liu Gui, and gritted his teeth: "If you don't feel well, tell me."

He also didn't want to give birth to any clues, if the matter of Changji's departure was in vain, he would definitely not be able to hide his stomach after waiting another month.

I just hope that tonight can pass smoothly, and when he returns tonight, he will pack his things and let Changji leave Beijing tomorrow.

Brother Jing greeted his colleagues with a gentle smile and led Jing Changji to the palace, but he would meet people from time to time and stop. After this delay several times, Brother Jing felt that Jing Changji's complexion was even worse.

Jing Changji also felt tightness in his chest, as if he was going to be out of breath.

Fortunately, it was dark, so you might not be able to see it if you didn't look carefully.

Just when Jing Changji was about to take a rest, otherwise he was afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke, a soft sedan chair with a transparent veil hanging from the roof appeared behind him.

This battle is very familiar, you don't need to guess who it is.

A group of people retreated to one side, saluted and waited for Prince Rui's guard of honor to pass by.

This time Wei Yin caught a glimpse of Jing Changji early on, and couldn't help but rely on the fact that no one dared to raise his eyes to stare at him, and was the first to see the beads of sweat dripping from Jing Changji's drooping side face.

Wei Yin hadn't mentioned each other since Jing Changji was about to leave during this time, and even from outsiders' point of view, they hadn't met formally since the Jing brothers moved out of the palace.

Wei Yin is also happy to see him in this state. In order to protect the other party, he can't get involved with the other party at this time.

But seeing Jing Changji like this now, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Wei Yin raised his hand, and the group stopped.

Jing Changji could feel that Wei Yin's eyes were on him all the time, thinking about when the other party would leave, he felt that he was top-heavy and really needed to take a rest.

However, the other party not only did not leave, but also made the soft sedan stop.

"Isn't this Jing Er? Isn't this sick? It looks so pitiful." Wei Yin's voice came with a bit of teasing and carelessness, and before Jing Changji could answer, he continued: "This king is Saying that you are separated from the king, the two of you brothers are having a hard time. You are not willing to let you be the king's aide, but you have to go to Liangzhou to suffer. Look, you have an accident before you leave. ?”

Jing Changji is helpless, this person is really a dog, but he also understands Wei Yin, and the other party's words are probably just to put aside any relationship with him.

No matter how much they help, others will only think that Prince Rui is giving alms to him, a poor little boy who is about to leave Beijing, instead of thinking that the two of them are related.

Sure enough, the next moment, Wei Yin changed the subject: "Tsk tsk, look at you, I don't mind giving you half of the seat, so as not to get sick and delay the day of leaving Beijing. I want to have a look, go to Liang How could Zhou be more promising than following this king!"

His almost mocking words stunned the courtiers who originally thought that Prince Rui still valued Lord Jing.

It seems that I really thought too much, the lord did this on purpose, what you don't want, I just give it to you, but I watch you die by yourself.

After Wei Yin said these words, he originally thought that Jing Changji would refuse to a large extent.

But this time Jing Changji didn't say a word: "Then it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Wei Yin:? ?

The rest: ? ?Mr. Jing was stimulated to go crazy, right?Dare Prince Rui say, he really dare to sit?

While Wei Yin was in a daze, Jing Changji deliberately put on a sullen face: "Didn't the prince say to give up half of the position to the lower official? The lower official feels that his choice is right, and he will not regret it."

Wei Yin handed over the steps, and he was really afraid that something might happen to the child, so let's talk about it after tonight.

Wei Yin was full of thoughts that he really agreed?But his mouth was unforgiving, pretending to be angry: "Then I will see if you will regret it. Half of the position, come up, this king always keeps his word."

As he said that, he really got out of the way and staggered half of the position.

Everyone's hearts were raised, the prince is betting that Mr. Jing dare not go up.

Glancing secretly at Jing Changji: Mr. Jing, it is not a loss to admit that you are cowardly in front of Prince Rui.

Who knows, the next moment Jing Changji stepped on the low stool.

Everyone: "..." I have seen people who are so desperate for anger, but I have never seen people who are so desperate for one breath.

After Jing Changji got on the soft sedan chair, before the seat collapsed, his eyes suddenly went dark, he forced himself to sit down, and suddenly felt the cool wind blowing away the heat all over his face.

Jing Changji waited for the blackness in front of him to disappear, he looked to the side, and happened to see Wei Yinzheng fanning slowly with a fan in his left hand, looking very leisurely and contented.

But he has seen himself fanning himself with his left hand?

Fortunately, everyone did not dare to look up, and did not notice Wei Yin's actions.

The sedan chair had already got up at this time, but Wei Yin couldn't help but look at the people around him, but because this is a palace, the partition wall has ears and can't speak much, so he just snorted softly, closed his eyes and ignored Jing Changji.

But when he closed his eyes, the movements of his hands didn't stop, but he couldn't help flashing the image of seeing Jing Changji just now in his mind.

He couldn't help getting annoyed again, he didn't see anyone these days and thought about it day and night, but Jing Er was more complacent than before, what a heart, how long has it been, and he has a belly?

Although it is not obvious, but it seems that he has gained a lot of weight?

Wei Yin was unlovable in his life, and when Jing Er came back from Liangzhou a few years later, according to his temperament of being able to eat and sleep, he wouldn't... be the same as those middle-aged courtiers who got fat?

Wei Yinsheng was so frightened that he opened his eyes again, and took a few more glances at Jing Changji's pretty face at the moment.

Jing Changji felt that Wei Yin must have misunderstood somewhere else, so he looked at him no less than ten times along the way, and once saw his frightening expression.

Jing Changji: "..." He always felt that Wei Yin had imagined something extraordinary again, but he definitely didn't think about his pregnancy.

Jing Changji simply closed his eyes, pretending not to know that Wei Yin was secretly looking at him.

When approaching the imperial garden, Jing Changji hastily ordered him to be put down.

Wei Yin didn't want outsiders to bring the two of them together again, so he let Jing Changji go down.

Jing Changji just watched Wei Yin and his group leave, Brother Jing almost trotted all the way and came over. When he was in front of Jing Changji, he looked carefully at everything, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"

Jing Changji nodded, and didn't continue to say more, and then slowly walked towards the imperial garden.

On the other side, the situation on Wei Yin's side was reported to Emperor Cheng Xian almost at the same time.

Emperor Chengxian didn't care at all after hearing it, he used to think that Wei Yin was a broken sleeve, and he really had nothing to do with that Jing family.

But judging from the incident in Jinzhou, it is impossible for Wei Yin to be a broken sleeve at all, but to use Jing Er as a raft.

Since the Jing family is about to leave the capital, it's just a small thing, nothing to be afraid of.

He is in a good mood these days, especially after taking the elixir, he feels that his body is getting younger day by day, and he believes that in a short time, he may be able to rejuvenate and recover the energy of his twenties.

When the time comes... why does he worry that this country cannot last forever?

At this moment, an announcement came from outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the national teacher has arrived."

Emperor Chengxian stood up excitedly: "Biography!"

He couldn't wait to look at the door, and as the vermilion palace door was pushed open, a handsome man in a white royal robe walked in.

Wu Ji was dressed in a fine attire, his eyes were cold, and tonight there were some strange things that Emperor Chengxian couldn't see.

Probably on a happy day, the national teacher was dressed in white.

Emperor Chengxian didn't think much about it, usually the national teacher is also dressed in plain colors, but tonight it is extraordinarily white, even the national teacher's robe is a few degrees whiter than usual, as if spotless, there is no other color on the whole body, There is an illusion of mourning.

Emperor Chengxian's attention was quickly attracted by the exquisite porcelain bottle in the hands of the national teacher: "National teacher, this matter..."

When he realized what it was, Emperor Chengxian immediately asked the eunuch beside him to step down.

After the door of the palace was closed, there were only two people left.

Wu Ji stepped forward, looking down at Emperor Cheng Xian who was sitting behind the imperial case coveting the things in his hands.

He clenched the palm behind his back with one hand, trying to restrain the hatred in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, I have finally concocted the one and only rejuvenation pill. It's just that the pill has just been refined, and people still need to test it." Wu Ji said, and gently placed the medicine bottle on the imperial case. superior.

Emperor Cheng Xian couldn't wait to pick it up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he waved his hand indifferently: "I will let people test the medicine."

Then it will be opened, and when it is found that the national teacher has not left, he raises his eyes: "Is there anything else the national teacher has to do?"

Wu Ji lowered his eyes, shook his head, saluted and retreated, but when he walked to the front of the palace gate, he tilted his head slightly and took a last look at Emperor Chengxian staring at the medicine bottle like a wolf like a tiger, turned his head, and opened the palace gate suddenly. The sweltering wind blew in, and he walked out quickly.

Emperor Chengxian knew that alchemy was not easy, so he was struggling again when he calmed down.

He knew that he had to refine the medicine, and he couldn't just take it for the sake of his life.

In the past, he would find someone to test the medicine, but this time it was different. After so many times of taking the elixir, his body changed, and Emperor Chengxian had great trust in the national teacher.

Emperor Chengxian gritted his teeth, looking at the only one pill at the moment, the golden medicine exudes a strong fragrance, just smelling it can make people wake up.

Emperor Chengxian hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but want to try first.

Could it be that he wants to live forever in the future, and let others try the medicine to live longer than him?

The lineage of the national teacher has been loyal to their David Dynasty for generations, so it should be fine, right?

Emperor Chengxian thought for a while, and took out a brocade box from the side, which contained a few silver needles. He took out one and stabbed it into the pill. After waiting for a while, there was no abnormality.

Emperor Cheng Xian was completely relieved, closed his eyes, and gently sniffed the fragrance of the elixir. Just by smelling it, he felt ten years younger.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

No one can prevent him from living forever, no one can take away his throne, not the emperor brother, not the emperor uncle, not even the crown prince...not.

This throne can only be his, and it will always be his.

Not long after taking the elixir, Emperor Chengxian felt himself light and light, and when he opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed.

Even his eyesight improved a lot, and his strength also increased in vain. He couldn't wait to grab the inkstone beside him, and with a sudden pinch, he crushed the inkstone directly into pieces.

Emperor Chengxian couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the hall again: "Your Majesty, the prince is here."

Emperor Chengxian's smile froze, and he even felt a little guilty when he heard the prince.

Especially thinking of the elixir he just took, if he is immortal, then he is doomed not to be a prince.

Emperor Cheng Xian loved this son who was so admiring and filial to him. After all, this was his first son, so he preferred it.

But no matter how good the son is, it is better to secure the throne himself.

Because of this guilty conscience, it was rare for Emperor Chengxian to be tolerant to the prince: "Let the prince in."

Emperor Chengxian guessed that the arrival of Lao Laizi made the prince feel a sense of crisis, and he didn't mind a few more words of relief.

The crown prince came with a lunch box. He stood there with downcast eyes, his figure was lonely, and his eyes were black and blue. He looked at Emperor Cheng Xian from a distance, timidly daring not to step forward.

Such a loss of the high-spirited prince made Emperor Chengxian feel more guilty, and tilted his head: "Why is the prince here at this time?"

The prince's voice was hoarse: "Royal father, this is the empress mother... the ginseng soup sent by my son is made by the empress herself."

Emperor Chengxian didn't want to drink at all, especially what the queen was doing?

But before he could answer, the prince took another two steps forward, and there was something wrong with his walking.

Emperor Chengxian frowned, went to look at the prince carefully, and found that he was holding the meal box that was originally carried by a palace man.

The meal box was very heavy, he was holding it with both hands, such a little weight would not have been possible, but the prince was holding it with both hands, even trembling.

Emperor Chengxian knew it well: the empress was dissatisfied with the prince because of the emperor's heir, so she did it in private.

Emperor Chengxian felt guilty. He knew the queen's actions from beginning to end, but he was happy to be this loving father.

If the queen treats the prince more and more badly, then the prince's heart will be on his side. Even if the Huo family makes some moves in the future, the prince will still stand by his side.

The two things that happened tonight were intertwined. Guilt and guilt made Emperor Chengxian change his mind: "Since it's your mother's wish, bring it."

It just so happened that I was going to see Concubine Liu Gui later, and drinking was a must at the banquet, and it was fine to finish the soup right now.

The prince lowered his eyes and stepped forward, with complicated emotions. When he took out the ginseng soup with his hands, he seemed to be thinking about all the reports not long ago.

There is Queen Huo.

——"It's because you are worthless. If you are capable, how can I be overwhelmed by Concubine Liu Gui?"

——"She is happy again! There will be three heirs in the future! How can I compare with her?"

——"You go and send these over, just tell me that I boiled them myself, so that the emperor must come to my palace tonight!"

——"Do you know how those people in the harem laugh at me in private?"

A heartfelt report.

——"Your Highness, the elixir refined by the national teacher is extremely effective. After this preparation, the emperor's body seems to be getting stronger and stronger. I believe it will be..."

——"Your Highness, we can't wait any longer, Your Majesty... obviously doesn't intend to abdicate."

——"The sooner you can prepare for this matter, the later, everything is just paving the way for others."

There was Xia Houqian's mockery.

—— "It seems that our cooperation is not so smooth, don't you lose the crown prince in the end?"

——"The previous poison was too poisonous. This is another kind of chronic poison that is also extremely poisonous, but it will only appear when the dose reaches a certain level."

——"If the amount is too small, those old things in the hospital can't be detected at all. In the end, another medicine is needed to draw out the poison before it can completely break out."

The crown prince poured two bowls, and when he looked up again, the complexities in his eyes had turned back to admiration: "Father, I want to drink a bowl with you. I feel a little sad today..."

He didn't say why he was sad, but Emperor Cheng Xian understood.

He understood, but he didn't intend to soften his heart.

Emperor Cheng Xian just pretended not to know, he looked at the two bowls of soup in front of him, and picked up a bowl casually: "I know you are filial, don't worry, an emperor's heir will not affect your position."

The prince seemed to be appeased, and he became happy: "I understand."

It is rare for the father and son to drink the ginseng soup in the same cup so warmly, but they have different thoughts.

The prince didn't want to do this, but what happened these days made him rational enough to know what would be waiting for him once his life experience was exposed.

So before that, he could only make himself cruel.

Emperor Chengxian and the crown prince then divided into two groups. Emperor Chengxian went to pick up Concubine Liu Gui, and the crown prince went to the banquet first.

He walked to the imperial garden step by step, and saw the Jing family brothers preparing to sit down from afar.

The prince couldn't help but wanted to take a step forward, but finally stopped, looking at Jing Changji from a long distance away.

Jing Changji noticed something, frowned and tilted his head, and when he met the prince hiding behind the pillar, he pretended not to see it, and turned his head again.

But the brows were furrowed even tighter, what was the prince's expression like?

The prince won't plan to do it tonight because of his status, will he?

It shouldn't be possible to force the palace so soon, after all, if the crown prince makes any moves, it's impossible for Wei Yin not to know.

That is tonight, because of Longsi's incident, you were stimulated?

When Jing Changji came, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

But in order to avoid Brother Jing's worries, Jing Changji firmly suppressed him.

Fortunately, the prince did not come towards them, and the banquet began soon.

Emperor Chengxian and Concubine Liu Gui soon arrived, and everyone got up to salute.

Emperor Chengxian was much younger and energetic than when he saw him last time. While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but visit the prince frequently.

Tonight is Emperor Cheng Xian and Concubine Liu Gui's home game, but the crown prince also came, but it was rather embarrassing.

Emperor Chengxian is so young, and Concubine Liu Gui is a favorite concubine, and now she is pregnant with an heir. If Emperor Chengxian is still in power after the heir grows up, then the position of heir...is it really true that he is the crown prince? indefinite.

Emperor Cheng Xian took everyone's expressions into his eyes but didn't care, but in the middle of the banquet, a minister suddenly ran to the center of the hall, drunk or not, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to report, which concerns the crown prince. life experience!"
