"King Zhen!" The minister pretending to be a commoner quietly sneaked into the room where King Zhen was imprisoned, and couldn't help shouting when he saw the increasingly haggard King Zhen. And King Zhen was standing in front of the window at the moment, looking out of the window in a daze, there seemed to be a flash of light in his deep eyes, but it was hard to guess what it was. Hearing someone calling him, King Zhen turned his head vigilantly, but unconsciously stepped back a few steps. There was a little light in the dark room, but it was difficult to distinguish the face, King Zhen asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
The minister took off the veil around his head and bowed to King Zhen. Only then did King Zhen understand that the minister pretended to be a commoner and sneaked in in order to save himself. The minister eagerly reported the situation to King Zhen, and asked King Zhen eagerly: "It's not too late, please make up your mind as soon as possible, King Zhen, Your Majesty the Queen imprisoned you here, and you will definitely do something later. You can't sit still!"
King Zhen sighed, and said: "I don't want to escape, but this Prince Zhen's mansion has already been guarded by the Queen's people, how can I escape easily."
The minister said darkly and solemnly: "As long as King Zhen is determined to leave, we will definitely have a plan to make you escape unscathed."
King Zhen knew that these ministers were always loyal to him. Since he said this, he must have thought of a plan. After thinking about it for a while, King Zhen said: "I have made up my mind to take back this throne. Please help me."
When the ministers heard what King Zhen said, they felt relieved, went forward, and whispered the plan to King Zhen: "We have found a person who looks similar to you, and he has also sneaked into Prince Zhen's mansion. , just wait for you to change clothes with her in the middle of the night, and when the guards change their shifts, when they are a little slack, we can leave quietly without anyone noticing."
King Zhen hesitated for a while, thinking about whether there was anything wrong with this plan, and nodded in agreement.
She couldn't just sit back and wait for Her Majesty to execute her.
At midnight that day, the moonlight was dim, jackdaws were singing, and a few dark clouds were slowly fluttering under the blowing of the night wind, as if they were about to cover all the moonlight. The wind was bleak, and the guards held weapons and patrolled the palace of Prince Zhen in groups. During the transition, they exchanged a few words with each other. The minister moved forward quietly, trying not to disturb the changing guards.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Although King Zhen's people were very careful, they were still discovered.
The minister stepped forward and pretended to be flattering and said: "The villain is delivering food to the palace, no, King Zhen lost his temper and told us to leave, so we had no choice but to leave. But don't worry, brother, we will also put the food in In the kitchen, if King Zhen doesn't want to eat it, how about you eating it?"
"You guys are good at talking, do you have wine?" the guard asked.
The minister said with a bitter face: "Where did you get the wine, but His Royal Highness King Zhen has a lot of fine wine, why don't you go and ask King Zhen."
King Zhen behind the minister was very nervous, and couldn't help clenching his hands, but the minister looked calm, not afraid of being discovered at all, the guard waved his hand and said: "Who doesn't know that King Zhen is on the verge of defeat now?" Tiger, I'm going to provoke her now? Forget it, let's go now."
"Yes, yes." The minister said hurriedly.
In this way, King Zhen and his party came out over the wall, and the minister's plan of "changing the civet cat for the prince" was considered a success.
In the early morning of the next day, when the guards went to deliver food to King Zhen, the "King Zhen" just sat in front of the window, with his back to the guards, silent. The guards thought it was because she was imprisoned here for many days and was depressed and unwilling to speak, so they didn't pay much attention. They brought food and then turned and left. They just waited for the next time they came in to change the food. It was routine and didn't care whether King Zhen was real. During the meal, Her Majesty the Queen no longer intervened in the affairs of Prince Zhen's residence, and the guards also began to stop paying attention and deal with it hastily. The fake "Prince Zhen" has never been seen through.
And at this moment, Her Majesty the Queen is making preparations for Yang Tingjing's ascension to the throne in the main hall. All the details are personally done. Looking at them one by one, it is enough to see that she has a deep affection for "Nanjin", so she has no mind to take care of other things , As for Prince Zhen who was imprisoned in Prince Zhen's Mansion, he occasionally asked questions in the first few days, but since he never made a mistake, he relaxed his vigilance, and recently he stopped paying attention.
On the contrary, Yang Tingjing has been very cooperative recently, and she is mostly obedient to Her Majesty's arrangements, and she also gave her own opinions on the selection of dresses, which made Her Majesty very happy, thinking that he was finally influenced by what she did, and Willingly become the new King of Southern Chu of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and grow old together with him. Such a change puts Her Majesty in a good mood.
"Go, accompany me to see Nanjin." Her Majesty the Queen ordered to the people around her.
Xingzi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so anxious to see Mr. Nan Jin, why not His Majesty simply live with Mr. Nan Jin?"
"You are the one who can talk the most." Although Her Majesty blamed her, she did not blame her at all.
As soon as he entered the palace of "Nanjin", he saw the maid "Tingzi" busy in the small kitchen, surrounded by ingredients, as if she was doing some delicate food.
"Tingzi, what are you doing?" Her Majesty asked from a distance. When Fenghuang heard Her Majesty calling him, he felt a "thump" in his heart. He was afraid that she would find out that these pastries were used to evoke Yang Tingjing's memory. She could only put down the things in her hands, walked quickly towards the queen, bowed, and made up a set of excuses in her heart, and said: "Your Majesty the Queen doesn't know something, the 'King of Nanchu' seems to have a bad appetite recently, the food I also ate very little, so I asked the imperial physician, and the imperial physician said that making cakes with these ingredients would have a miraculous effect of refreshing and appetizing, so I spent some time looking for them."
Her Majesty the Queen saw that "Tingzi" was so attentive to "Nanjin"'s diet and daily life, she was a little displeased. She looked up and down this pavilion, and felt that the appearance of Tingzi was very ordinary. Such an ordinary appearance should not attract Nanjin's attention. , Her Majesty the Queen smiled and nodded, and said, "Go ahead and serve Nan Jin well, and I will definitely reward you."
Fenghuang heaved a sigh of relief, there was no expression on his face, he still lowered his head in a submissive manner, said: "Yes." Then he withdrew.
Her Majesty the Queen did not let the people around her inform her, but quietly entered Yang Tingjing's room. At this moment, Yang Tingjing was sitting in front of the window with a book in her hands. The teacup on the table was steaming and exuding a slight fragrance. This is the new tea specially rewarded to Yang Tingjing by Her Majesty the Queen. Fragments of sunlight shone on Yang Tingjing's handsome face, adding a sense of tranquility and tranquility. Her Majesty the Queen was fascinated by the sight, imagining the peaceful years with Yang Tingjing in the future.
