Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Xiao Jiu suddenly said: "Beining."

Zhong Shuo: "Huh?"

"You said you fell in love with me at first sight, so is it because of my skin?"

!

Zhong Shuo cautiously said: "Your Highness was very beautiful. I remembered it for a whole year after I met His Highness that day. Later, His Majesty proposed marriage, and I was also happy. It's just that the deep affection for His Highness came after spending time with His Highness day and night. .”

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Really?"

Zhong Shuo affirmed, "Yes."

"Then you are also interested in sex, there is no man who does not like beauty."

It was simply making trouble out of no reason, Zhong Shuo said: "Yes, I am interested in Your Highness, what does Your Highness want?"

Xiao Jiu said: "Accompany me to see mother, and I will forgive you."

This is a matter of duty, Zhong Shuo said: "Okay."

Lin Ye's affairs happened, Xiao Jiu stayed busy with Zhong Shuo for a long time, and took all the military power of Lin Ye into his own hands.

Zhong Shuo had always been a good commanding officer, but he was extremely strict but he didn't see them suffering a little bit. The people in the army were all grateful for him, and there was no need to work hard on the military spirit.

The team dispatched from Beijing went back not long after. Zhong Shuo didn't care about the strength of the troops. Instead, he felt that there was no more food for the army. After all, Linye was not rich.

Xiao Jiu stayed in the mansion for a few days, making the kitchen uneasy every day, Xi Wen tactfully told Zhong Shuo Xiao Jiu's various evil deeds in the kitchen, Zhong Shuo took time to coax him.

Strange to say, the taste of Xiao Jiu's dishes is excellent, but it's a mess before they go back to the kitchen, some pots and bowls have to be destroyed, and the money for buying new household utensils is going to cost Xiao Jiu Zhong Shuo had to stop him even for this reason—Xiao Jiu really didn’t realize that his family was not rich.

Xiao Jiu was actually bored in the mansion, and there was no one to relieve his boredom, so he went to trouble the kitchen. Fortunately, Zhong Shuo was free soon, and went to see Empress Jiang with him when he had time.

The barren hill where the nameless solitary tomb is located has some greenery. Xiao Jiu took a lot of things carefully and placed them one by one in front of Empress Jiang's grave. He knelt down and kowtowed together with Zhong Shuo, saying: "Mother, this The second time is to formally bring Beining to meet you, and Beining will be part of our family from now on."

Zhong Shuo said: "Zhong Shuo, I have met my mother." After speaking, he bowed solemnly again.

Xiao Jiu pulled him up and said, "I used to be unsure of your intentions, and I didn't dare to say too much in front of my mother, but now it's different. We love each other, and my mother is also happy when she sees it."

Zhong Shuo said, "I just hope my mother doesn't get angry with me."

Xiao Jiu took out a jug of wine and said, "Why, it's too late to like it, come, pour a glass of wine for mother."

Zhong Shuo took the wine glass, poured it full, and respectfully placed it in front of Empress Jiang's grave.

Xiao Jiu directly put the wine jar on the ground, and said, "Does this mean that you have met your mother-in-law?"

Zhong Shuo said indifferently, "Didn't Your Highness have seen it long ago?"

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, don't narrow me down, is it okay if you know you're wrong?"

Zhong Shuo also laughed, "I'm telling the truth."

Xiao Jiu said: "Mother, have you read it? He is usually like this, very fierce."

Zhong Shuo couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled him to stop talking nonsense, Xiao Jiu stopped.

The two talked with Empress Jiang for a while, and then slowly went down the mountain.

The spring breeze blew by unexpectedly, it looked like someone's smile.

It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. Xiao Jiu was in a suit and it was difficult for him to walk, so Zhong Shuo walked ahead to open the way for him. After walking for a while, when the mountain road was a bit calmer, Zhong Shuo said, "Your Highness, I can ask why you married me at that time." Is it?"

He thought about this question for a long time, and he knew in his heart that if Xiao Jiu didn't want to, Emperor Longde would have a way to ruin the marriage no matter how strict he was, and Xiao Jiu's marriage to him could only be voluntary.

Xiao Jiu rubbed the calluses on his palms, and said, "Well...can I tell the truth?"

Zhong Shuo said: "Naturally, please speak, Your Highness."

Xiao Jiu said: "Actually, at first, I wanted to kill you."

The reality is always so indifferent and cruel, and it comes too suddenly.

Zhong Shuo said, "Well, what then?"

Xiao Jiu said: "I was persuaded by Jiang Xi later, he was optimistic about you and planned to win you over, so it was just right." The more Xiao Jiu said, the more guilty he felt. I thought about it, and I think it is feasible, I have hidden guards watching you all day, you are not the troublemaker, you look easy to bully, you are an honest person, so I agreed."

Honest Zhong Shuo: ...Thank you for saving my life, cousin.

He owes a lot to the Jiang brothers.

Zhong Shuo sighed and said, "Then Your Highness won't kill me now?"

Xiao Jiu assured, "Naturally, murdering your own husband is a serious crime, and Di Ji will also go to prison."

Zhong Shuo said, "Then, thank you, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jiu put on a show and said, "No need, but tell me, did you get scared when the marriage was ordered? Hmm?"

Zhong Shuo said, "No."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

Xiao Jiu didn't tease him, and felt a little regretful, "You are young, you are like a tree, only I don't dislike you, if you don't give me a marriage, I don't know when I will be able to marry a wife."

Zhong Shuo said: "That's not true. If His Majesty hadn't granted the marriage, I would have a son by this time."

What he said was heartbreaking, Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him to express his doubts.

Zhong Shuo stretched out his hand to block the branches of the trees in front of Xiao Jiu, and said, "Mother has already looked at me for a long time. Before your majesty gave me the marriage, in fact, my mother had already inquired about it a long time ago. I just came to propose marriage. Speaking of it, I should thank your majesty." .”

Xiao Jiu frowned and carefully counted the young ladies of the right age in Beijing a year ago, chanting from time to time, Zhong Shuo looked amused, and said: "Don't think about it, Your Highness, there are so many nobles in Beijing, Your Highness can't remember them all." .”

Xiao Jiu didn't speak, but thought for a while, and said: "It's the young lady of the Sun family, she was the only one who was of the right age and suitable for the house a year ago."

Zhong Shuo was shocked. He never thought that Xiao Jiu would remember everyone in Beijing so deeply. After thinking about it, he had been in a difficult situation for several years. If he didn't work hard, he might not be able to survive.

Somewhat distressed, he said: "I was joking just now, I only have His Highness in my heart, even if I marry someone else, I don't like it."

Xiao Jiu snorted and said with a smile: "The young lady of the Sun family is mediocre in appearance, her dowry is not as rich as mine, and naturally she doesn't treat you as well as I do. You must not like it."

Zhong Shuo coaxed, "Yes, Your Highness is the best."

Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "It's good that Bei Ning understands."

The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting all the way, and they went down the mountain at dusk.

It is not so easy in the palace.

Emperor Longde heaved a sigh of relief after Qianghu retreated and negotiated a peace agreement. The household department was still vacant, so he quickly let Xiao Gong enter the court to take charge of the household department. Because of doing things wholeheartedly, it is inevitable to offend some people, mostly related to Shen Yu, but it is not a day or two that Shen Yu has murderous intentions towards him. Emperor Longde can always see it clearly, and put the grievances on the bright side , can also prevent Shen Yu from attacking him, after all, Emperor Longde still has to use him.

The body of the Ninth Prince in Kaichun has improved a lot, he has grown up, and he is a bit cute, and even his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Emperor Longde. Although Emperor Longde was suspicious, he did not think about the life experience of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was very affectionate towards his father, but he was not so fond of Concubine Shen Gui.

Shen Yu also knew that the emperor was wary of him, so he could only speed up his preparations. His private soldiers had cut off their support, and his money was still a little tight, so he had to do some private salt sales in private. With the help of his contacts in the court, it was smooth. .

Xiao Gong vaguely knew something about his smuggling of salt, but Shen Yu was a lot more cautious, and it was not easy to get evidence for a while.

He still has a piece of medicine dregs given by Songyan, this medicine can be tested by any imperial doctor, it is a medicine for tigers and wolves that adults may not be able to withstand, Shen Guifei secretly gave the Ninth Prince to drink this medicine After taking the medicine, he no longer had any scruples. Afterwards, he often fed people with harmful pills and other things behind his back. The consequences of using these medicines for such a young child can be imagined. Now the Ninth Prince is just holding his breath to delay Shen Yu's time.

If the Ninth Prince dies, Concubine Shen Gui's favor will naturally be affected, and there are variables in the harem, Shen Yu's affairs will not be so easy, so the Ninth Prince is very important, and nothing can happen now.

Not long ago Xiao Jiu sent a letter, saying that he was looking for an opportunity to let Emperor Longde know about the medicine.

He was far away in Linye, Shen Yu couldn't move, but Shen Guifei could easily solve it, so let's start with Shen Guifei.

Xiao Gong was used to seeing intrigue in the palace since he was a child, so it was very convenient to do such a thing, besides, there were people Xiao Jiu placed everywhere, who would not leave any traces after it was done.

this day,

When Emperor Longde got up early, his body was not very refreshed, probably because he had caught a cold, and he had some symptoms of wind and cold. Director Fu immediately announced to the imperial physician to see that there was no serious problem, and he just needed to rest in bed.

The imperial physician prescribed the prescription and went to grab the medicine. Emperor Longde drank it, but there was a commotion in the middle of the night.

Naturally, the medicine had been replaced. Emperor Longde was not very old, but he couldn't stand the medicine's properties. The medicine's effect was exerted at night, and he vomited and vomited in the middle of the night, with abdominal cramps. The maid is not good, but fortunately the imperial physician was passed on in time, so she saved her life.

After Emperor Longde was rescued, regardless of his frail health, he grabbed the imperial doctor who was seeing a doctor during the day and entered the Zichen Palace. Under strict interrogation, he was asked that the prescription books of His Majesty and the Ninth Prince were placed close to each other, and they were mistaken for the Ninth Prince. of.

Emperor Longde also experienced the power of this medicine firsthand, and was immediately furious, how could the Ninth Prince use such a medicine, so he followed the prescription and quickly found out the whole story, and even dug out a bag in the corner of the Imperial Hospital The dregs of the medicine, after inspection, it was found that it was the medicine that the Ninth Prince drank.

The matter was quiet, without disturbing the people around. At dawn, a pair of imperial guards broke into Concubine Shen's Jingyang Palace, and took away the Ninth Prince without saying anything. Concubine Shen Gui was also quite frightened, so she thought that the matter of changing sons had been exposed, before she had time to ventilate with Shen Yu, she changed her clothes and ran to Zichen Hall.

Concubine Shen was still late, Emperor Longde had already found the director of the Imperial Hospital to check the pulse of the Ninth Prince, everything was clear.
