Although Xiangsui is dead, it is certain that Concubine Xian knows about their relationship.
Concubine Jing was feeling uneasy after all. Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, she followed the secret passage out of the palace and went to find Xiao Junyi.
The two discussed it for a long time. At the end, Xiao Junyi said, "I have my own opinion on this matter. Concubine Xian has the handle. It would be better for you and me to have less contact with each other."
Concubine Jing's face instantly became aggrieved, and she whispered, "Your Majesty's words are so hurtful. Is it possible that you don't want me anymore?"
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. When this beauty's face wrinkled, Xiao Junyi said with a distressed expression, "How could I not want you? It's just that you have to cooperate with me. If Xiao Junhan is not removed for one day, I will be with you for one day." It’s hard to feel at ease!”
Hearing this, Concubine Jing suddenly raised her fighting spirit and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, although I have only been in the palace for a short time, I am not that easy to bully. Since Concubine Xian has her mind set on me, don't blame me for biting her back." Just one bite!”
Xiao Junyi looked at her exquisitely carved face and couldn't help but feel lustful again. He immediately hugged Concubine Jing, smiled lewdly, and walked towards the bed.
This year's snow seems to be arriving very quickly. The old snow on the ground has not yet dispersed, and a new snow has arrived.
It was already late at night, and the catkins-like snowflakes showed no sign of stopping. They fell to the ground like broken jade, making a crunching sound when people stepped on them.
A carriage sped through the empty streets, and not long after, it stopped in front of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Knocking on the door sounded quickly, and the copper ring on the red lacquered door clanged. After a long time, the gatekeeper yawned and opened the door, lazily asking, "What's the matter?"
But before he finished speaking, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Master Zhang, what are you doing?"
The snow was falling very hard. Zhang Shouye, the Minister of Civil Affairs, only stood at the door for a while, and his head was already covered with pure white. He waved his hands and said, "Please tell His Highness Duan Wang that I have something important to do. Please take care of it." Meet me!"
There was a carriage parked behind him, and the curtains were closed tightly, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on inside. The horse seemed to be standing impatiently, and snorted, and instantly a puff of white smoke shot into the sky.
It's getting colder and colder today.
The porter did not dare to delay and hurriedly invited Zhang Shouye in. While letting the groom lead the carriage in, he smiled and said, "Sir, wait a moment, I will go right away."
Zhang Shouye greeted him and looked back at the carriage from time to time, with anxiety flashing in his eyes.
The concierge left and came back, saying respectfully, "Master Zhang, Your Highness has invited you."
Zhang Shouye thanked the concierge, then turned around, opened the curtain of the carriage, and said to the people inside, "Come down, you are safe, let's go see His Highness."
The people inside seemed frightened and were trembling all over. After hearing these words, they grabbed Zhang Shouye as if they had found a savior, straightened their rickety body, and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay! "
Although the door to the study room was closed, it was brightly lit inside. Zhang Shouye led this man all the way with ease. When he entered the study, Xiao Junyi, who was originally a little listless, was a little surprised.
"why you?"
Of course he was not talking about Zhang Shouye, but the man behind him.
The man knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, save me!"
Xiao Junyi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to him, looking him up and down, but except for his face, which still had the appearance of the past, this man was dressed in rags and dusty, almost like a beggar.
"Isn't this Lin Bufan, the doctor from Qian Tai Hospital?"
Xiao Junyi recognized him for a long time before confirming his identity, but the confusion in his eyes became more intense, "Zhang Shouye, why did you bring him here in the middle of the night?"
Unlike Lin Bufan's trembling, Zhang Shouye showed a slight smile and whispered, "Your Highness, you might as well listen to what Master Yi Zheng said."
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi walked up to Lin Bufan, helped him up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, it has been more than a year since you retired from old age and returned to your hometown. Why don't you come to me at this time? What's the matter, why did you ask me to save you?"
It's a good thing that Lin Bufan didn't listen to this. As soon as he heard it, he suddenly looked like he was crying, obviously frightened, "Your Highness, the common people have retired and returned to their hometown. You are no longer an adult. Just call me by my name. The common people came to you because they were desperate, someone, someone wanted to kill me!"
"Kill you?" Xiao Junyi was stunned at first, then looked at him funny and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
Lin Bufan gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "The person who killed me is none other than the Second Prince!"
Xiao Junyi had an intuition that there was something inside, and immediately asked, "Why would my good second brother chase you, a doctor who is no longer in the palace? Is it possible that you have some secrets that you can't tell anyone?"
Lin Bufan no longer concealed anything when he was in this situation, and just said with a grimace, "The common people were previously coerced by the Concubine Xian, and they did several things that were harmful to nature, but the Concubine Xian repeatedly threatened the common people, and the common people were timid, so they She retired from old age due to illness and returned to her hometown. Who knew, who knew that the Concubine Xian and the second prince actually sent people to hunt down the grass people! The grass people escaped several times, but the opponent was like a maggot on the tarsus, and they couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard they were. , the common people were desperate, so they came to seek refuge with you, His Highness Prince Duan!"
At the end of his speech, he seemed to remember what he had experienced these days, and his face became more and more bitter.
After hearing this, Xiao Junyi's eyes lit up even more. He was just worried about how to deal with that bitch, Concubine Xian, when someone rushed to bring bricks. If he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't he be sorry for giving such a good opportunity to God
However, the person in front of you must be well and safely settled. "It's not impossible for you to ask me to save you, but you know, I always pay a price for saving people."
Lin Bufan naturally understood, and immediately knelt down and said, "The common people are willing to write a blood letter to prove the guilt of the concubine Xian! I only ask that Your Highness give the common people a way to survive and save my life!"
Xiao Junyi immediately helped him up and said with a smile, "After all, you are from Qian Tai Hospital. I also had some friendship with you when we were young. There is no need to kneel and worship all the time. Someone, come and see this noble man off." Go to the wing, we’ll be waiting for you!"
After Lin Bufan was sent out, Zhang Shouye immediately closed the door and whispered, "Your Highness, if we make good use of this person, he will definitely be a big help in tripping up the second prince."
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi only gave a bad smile and said, "Don't worry, I will go to the palace tomorrow to discuss with my mother and concubine, and then we will decide what to do next."
With that said, he patted Zhang Shouye's shoulder again and said, "Sir Zhang, I would like to thank you very much for what happened today. Don't worry, you will definitely be on the list of achievements of the King of Japan."
After hearing this, Zhang Shouye quickly thanked me happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my duty to work for you."
After hearing this, Xiao Junyi smiled even more heartily.
After sending Zhang Shouye away, Xiao Junyi hurriedly returned to the room. Concubine Jing had been there for a long time. When she saw him turning around, she couldn't help but said angrily, "Your Majesty is so busy. It's rare for me to leave the palace, but you left me alone again."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Junyi happily held her in his arms, kissed her, and said, "I have good news for you!"
As he spoke, he told the whole story again, and finally said, "This is a God-given opportunity. Concubine Xian has plotted against me, and I will definitely make her look good this time!"
When Concubine Jing heard this, she also laughed a few times along with her, but her lowered head showed a more calculating look.
On the second day, after he entered the palace and told Concubine Hui about the matter, Concubine Hui suddenly said happily, "In this way, wouldn't we have something to deal with that bitch, Concubine Xian!"
Concubine Hui disliked Concubine Xian for a long time, but Concubine Xian's tail was always well hidden, making it difficult for her to take action. This time, this medical treatment was a God-given opportunity!
Xiao Junyi said with a smile, "Not only is the concubine a good concubine, but also Xiao Junhan will be greatly implicated. When the time comes, I will be the only one in this court!" At this point, he frowned again and said, "It's just that , how can we legitimately let Yi Zheng identify the virtuous concubine? We can't just push the person in front of the father, it will be self-defeating. "
Concubine Hui thought about it for a while, her eyes lit up, and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother has her own plan in mind. Let's do it like this -"
After Concubine Hui whispered the plan in Xiao Junyi's ear, Xiao Junyi was happy at first, but then worried and said, "Is it appropriate to do it at the daughter's banquet?"
"What's inappropriate about that? We just need to change the venue of the daughter's banquet to the palace. Your good aunt just divorced the consort, and she has no intention of hosting a daughter's banquet this year. It just so happens that this matter falls into my hands. When the time comes, we will use one more move to frame her up even more. When your father comes, there will be both witnesses and physical evidence. Even if the wise concubine has three heads and six arms, she will not be able to escape!"
Seeing that Concubine Hui spoke so firmly, Xiao Junyi felt relieved and turned to flatter her, "Concubine, you still have a way."
Concubine Hui nodded his forehead and sighed, "Concubine Mother is planning so hard for you, isn't it all for you? After all, Concubine Mother must get rid of anyone who blocks your way. This is called - for Mother is strong!”
On the day of the daughter's banquet, Xie Ruzhuo was called up early by the maids. When her eyelids were drooped and she couldn't open her eyes, they dressed her up from head to toe.
It wasn't until the slightly cold hands touched his face that Xie Ruzhuo suddenly became alert. He opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, only to see Xie Ruyue looking at her with a half-smile.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo finally opened his eyes, Xie Ruyue sneered, "Could it be that he was sneaking around last night, and he's still so sleepy now?"
Xie Ruzhuo lamented, "It's still dark outside, how can you be so energetic?" As he said that, he stared at her hand that was about to attack with vigilance, and asked, "Your hands are so cold, how can you be so energetic?" Did Yong'an go to play in the snow?"
"No, I just came here to see you early in the morning. I forgot to bring Mrs. Tang with me. Who would have thought it would be so cold." Xie Ruyue said, stroking her hands gently and placing them next to the heater.
Jiang Zhu had already put the food on the table and asked with a smile, "Second Miss, you haven't had your breakfast yet, right?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately glanced sideways at Xie Ruyue and said, "I must be here to have some food if I come here so early. Jiangzhu, please go get that pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Xie Ruyue hit her lightly and said, "You are stingy, how many days can I take your moon silver?" Having said that, she took out a jewelry box, handed it to Xie Ruzhuo and said, "No, I I haven't been in charge of the room these days. When the maid was dressing me up this morning, she came up with this pair of jewelry and gave it to you."
