King Rui was startled, and said "hmm" softly. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and said, "Jingping, you have always been cautious in doing things. Why are you so careless this time? I don't like lights."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ming looked into the room and saw that there was indeed a small lamp on the table that was still on.
Jing Ping whispered, "Sir, it was the mistress Qiao who asked us to leave it on. She said she didn't know if you were going to the morning court or would come back to rest, so she asked us to leave the light on. This light is small and not easily noticeable from outside, so it can provide some light when you come in, so it's not too dark."
The hall of Prince Rui's Palace.
Qiaochu looked at Bishui fiddling with the medicine box indifferently.
You can say she is a mean person who judges others by their own standards, or you can say she is narrow-minded and not a gentleman. To be honest, she really doesn't trust Bishui. Lang Fei is powerful, Bishui dare not do anything, so she just chooses not to like her. If Bishui adds some ingredients to her hands, the former can be said to be a medical accident, and she will be in trouble.
The four and the beauty stood behind her, hoping that the beauty's ferocious appearance would have some deterrent effect on Bishui. If Jingping hadn't mentioned Bishui so kindly, she would never let the maid diagnose her illness.
Seeing the faint smile on Bishui's lips, she suddenly thought that she should find an excuse to refuse. After a slight hesitation, Bishui took out a golden needle from the medicine box and raised her hand to stab her hand on the table.
The needle did not pierce her hand. A big hand suddenly reached out and held her hand.
"Stand back, I'll do it."
It was a light sentence, but her heart was slightly shocked. When she looked up, she saw King Rui looking at her indifferently. The four great men, Meiren and Bishui were greeting the man, and she hurriedly stood up to greet him, but he stretched out his hand, held her in his arms, and sat down.

Chapter 122 Uncontrollable
Prince Rui waved his hand, signaling Bishui, the four great ladies, and the beauties to step aside. Fang Ming and Jing Ping who were accompanying them also stepped aside.
Bishui's expression changed slightly.
Feeling some pain in his hand, Qiaochu turned his head away and let it torment him. Although it hurt, he was not too worried.
"Why did you tell me that story?"
He asked in her ear, his voice low and deep. Because he didn't try to hide it, she could hear the hint of pleasure in his voice.
She knew that he understood what she meant at that moment.
Love is like this sometimes. It's not that you just have to take ninety-nine steps. What's the point if the other person is unwilling to take the last step
Maybe the person you love always thinks that since you have taken ninety-nine steps, you should not be stingy with the last step. So, when you move forward, she moves back.
So, sometimes you should take a step back, or just stand for ninety-nine days like a soldier.
Because, the one who stands for a hundred days is a prince, and the one who stands for ninety-nine days is a knight.
Princes are perfect, but knights are adventurous.
Women often stop at perfection. Like men, women also like adventure and have a desire to conquer.
The only difference is that men's desire to conquer is more easily revealed, while women hide it deeper because compared to men, they have more concerns and are more cautious.
She knew that the true nature of the man in front of her was too deeply hidden. Perhaps, even he himself could not find it back. He had worn a mask for many years, and he himself had many false faces.
He is actually a very strange person. Intelligent, resourceful, gentle, cold, domineering, tolerant, calm, and sometimes eccentric like a child.
He has the wisdom to plan and strategize, and the ability to make women fall in love with him, but when it comes to Qingling, because he loves her and cares about her feelings, he cannot see clearly.
There are some men, when you meet them you will know that he has the ability to get what he wants, but there are some men, even if he spends his entire life, he can never achieve what you hope for.
No matter who you are, whether male or female, in this game of succession, you are investing and being invested in each other, exploiting and being exploited.
She didn't know who loved him completely without any selfish motives, they would all love this person's intelligence and wisdom. But if she loved him, then it was more because she loved his occasional eccentricity, like a child, which made her feel distressed.
But since he loved someone, she was stunned.
As for whether she hated him or not, she didn't know, because in his world, possession and love were two different things.
I told him this story not to please him, nor was I being humble or yielding. I just felt bad for him and simply wanted him to be happy.
She told him this story only because he took the trouble to help her get the poison and detoxify it, and she also hoped to help him, and hoped that if they could not be together, she could still get his respect.
She admitted that she felt bad when she heard the joy in his voice at that moment; she couldn't stop loving him. Once she fell in love, it didn't mean that he didn't love her. She needed time to let go, and she was still in this palace, she had her own way to go, and respect and trust were the first step.
But how should she tell him all this? After thinking for a while, she whispered, "I'll just thank you for detoxifying me, okay?"
He seemed to pause, and the pain in her hand suddenly intensified. She looked at the table in slight surprise. He had given her acupuncture, applied some fragrant ointment, and was rebandaging her. But now he pressed his hand heavily on her wrist and asked calmly, "Don't you want to owe me a favor?"
"It's not a return, it's a thank you," she said cautiously.
He didn't say anything. She felt a little uneasy and hesitated for a moment, then slightly turned to look at his eyes, which were deep and complicated beneath his iron face.
Their hands were still clasped together. Her hand was painful, but their skin felt warm and sticky when touching.
At this moment, Lang Linling's voice suddenly came from the door, "Is your hand feeling better? Be careful when you walk next time."
Speaking of the hand injury, she felt a little funny. The wound on the arm could be covered up, but the one on the palm could not be covered up. When the emperor asked about it at the family banquet, she had to say that she fell while walking. Anyway, no one could investigate further.
Lang Linling led Xiang'er in. She quickly got up from his lap and greeted him, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm much better."
Lang Linling's eyes sank for a moment when she saw her in Prince Rui's arms, but she quickly smiled and nodded. The gloomy look at that moment seemed to be just her illusion.
"It would take more than half a month to recover from this injury. I just corrected your bones and used the consolidating ointment. You will be back to normal in six or seven days. If you know a little bit about riding and shooting, you can even draw a bow and shoot arrows."
The voice of King Rui came from behind, neither angry nor angry. She turned around to thank him, found an excuse, and led the four and the beauty to leave, leaving the hall to the two people.
When going out, I vaguely saw Lang Linling walking to the side of Prince Rui. They said a few words. Lang Linling snuggled into Prince Rui's arms, and Prince Rui reached out and hugged her.
Prince Rui’s medical skills were indeed excellent. Her hand began to get better, and the pain was gone after two days.
The emperor also suspended court for two consecutive days. On the third day, he heard that something big had happened in the court.
The emperor announced the time of the hunting in the court - seven days later; Prince Xian had been on sick leave, so the emperor ordered Prince Rui to take over the responsibility of arranging the hunting route, dispatching the accompanying imperial guards, and asking the crown prince and the chief chamberlain Xia Haibing to assist.
This announcement undoubtedly established the status of Prince Rui. After the Crown Prince and the three princes, Prince Rui became the most popular person in front of the emperor.
However, to everyone's surprise, Prince Rui politely declined the emperor's offer, saying that it was a matter of great importance to the emperor's safety and he had no relevant experience. He was willing to learn from the crown prince and Xia Haibing, so the emperor later appointed the crown prince as the military commander and asked Prince Rui and Xia Haibing to assist him.
What was beyond everyone's expectation was that although the Emperor was a little displeased at first by Prince Rui's action, after pondering it over, he seemed to become very pleased.
People in the court and the country were increasingly suspicious and speculative about the virtuous king's illness. Soon, there was a new theory as to whether the wise king was a member of the virtuous king's party or the prince's party.
From that time on, due to the strange changes in the hunting guards' personnel, a series of accidents occurred, and her relationship with King Rui was about to move towards a situation that neither he nor she could control.

Chapter 123 The Storm is Coming~Tonight
Why was he willing to give up the post of military supervisor to the prince? She always felt that there must be something fishy going on. Of course, she knew the news from the court, but she didn't know what was about to happen.
Then seven days passed quickly. Jingping brought her internal medicine and external ointment every day. As he said, on the sixth or seventh day, her hand had healed.
The seven days were quite uneventful, except for the two nights he spent at her place.
I still remember that night when he came over, she helped him change his clothes, and their bodies were very close.
He suddenly reached out and touched her face. She stiffened slightly, feeling a little nervous and a little panicked.
He seemed to sense it, smiled coldly, and said, "Lang Fei is more beautiful than you, and even Bi Shui serves her better than you. Do I still have to touch you?"
He did not ask her to fulfill her wife's responsibilities. On the bed, the quilt in the middle was dented, and the two of them pulled one end of the quilt and slept on their sides until he went to court.
In the middle of the night, she hesitated for a moment, but still got up to cover him with a blanket. Although she knew that he had a strong inner strength and might not be afraid of the cold, his hands were always exposed. Qin Ge also had this habit. After dating Qin Ge, she often covered him with a blanket at the beginning. Later, she didn't know when it started, but quietly, she and Qin Ge switched roles. Qin Ge said, Hailan, you kick the blanket more than I do.
The rest of the time, he spent the night in Lang Linling's room.
She understood that such "equal" treatment of the concubines seemed reasonable in the eyes of others, at least in the eyes of the emperor - it took into account both his favor for Concubine Lang and his favor for her.
At noon tomorrow, the imperial concubines, the princes, and the court officials will go hunting with the emperor in the new hunting ground. Because he and the crown prince and Xia Haibing arranged the accompanying imperial guards, the emperor, and everyone's sedan chair, he came back in the evening, and soon, he went out again with Lang Linling, and it was said that they went to the Xianwang Mansion to visit the Xianwang.
Their bedrooms were very close to each other and it was quiet at night. She could hear noises coming from the opposite room. It was already the second watch, but they seemed not to have returned yet. The wise king's illness seemed very strange.
She didn't mean to think about anything, but she always felt that a storm was about to come. It seemed that it would happen this night.
My heart is tense.
The palace of the virtuous prince.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Not to mention the couple of the King Rui, the Queen had not returned to the palace even though the Prime Minister was there. General Lang was not there, but he had returned to the border with General Qin to guard the frontier a few days ago.
"Cousin, you are crazy!" Lang Linling sneered, "You said my husband switched sides to the crown prince? It's a pity that he even took the trouble to give you advice on the last assassination attempt."
The two siblings have always been very close. She was also saddened by the fact that the Xian Wang's assassination case was exposed by the crown prince's new evidence and that his left hand was broken. But on second thought, the Xian Wang's dethronement might not be a bad thing. Once the Xian Wang is hopeless, then her grandfather and father will not have to consider her aunt's feelings and help the Rui Wang wholeheartedly.
The virtuous king glanced at his half-hanging, crippled left hand, and gloomily looked at the silent Rui king, sneering, "Eighth brother, it's not that I wrongly accuse you. Father has clearly given you the post of hunting supervisor, but you gave it to Shangguan Jinghao! Isn't this obviously surrendering to him! You know that the more powerful you are in front of the father, the more power you will have to help me make a comeback in the future. What you are doing now, isn't it disappointing to me?"
Queen Lang's brows sank, and her face was full of resentment.
But Lang Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Jinghong, what do you think about this?"
Lang Linling was also very nervous. After all, Prime Minister Lang had only one daughter, Queen Lang, and General Lang had only one sister, Queen Lang. They had loved and cared for each other since childhood and were very considerate of the relationship between him, Queen Lang, and the virtuous king.
Although she knew that the King of Rui was wise and that he must have other considerations in giving the post of military supervisor to the Crown Prince, she was also worried. After all, he only had
