King Changqing liked beauties and did not care about government affairs, and he had little contact with Prince Ning.

He and His Majesty are called cousins, and they are not low in seniority in the royal family, but his presence in the court is not half as good as Rong Xia's. But since he came to visit with the dignity of a county king, Rong Xia could never turn people away, so he could only put down the invitation and get up to greet him in person.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Changqing," Rong Xia walked into the living room door and saluted Prince Evergreen, "Your Majesty, the prince of the county, has stepped in, and the palace has been filled with brilliance."

"Why are Marquis Cheng'an so polite?" King Changqing put down the tea cup and stood up and said, "I have been wanting to see you for the past two days, but I know that you must be busy investigating an assassination case recently, so it is not easy to come. Sorry. Now that I heard that the case has been cleared, I am relieved and I am not worried that I will disturb you if I come to your door."

"Chief Chen and several adults from Dali Temple are responsible for these cases. Now that my subordinates have not recovered from their old injuries, and they encounter this kind of thing again, how can they have the energy to worry about it." Rong Xia said with a smile, "It's just a matter of time. Just read a book in the house and take care of yourself."

"This is how we live our lives," King Changqing shook the fan in his hand, "By the way, my cousin is also recuperating here with you?"

Rong Xia smiled lightly: "Yes."

"Alas," King Changqing sighed, "This child has been restless since she was a child. When she was eight years old, she had a dispute with Prince Ning, and actually got into a fight with Prince Ning, who was several years older than her. What do you think of the Manchu Dynasty? Up and down, how many children dare to fight with the prince like this?"

Rong Xia didn't speak, or he didn't have the habit of talking about his fiancée's personal affairs with other men.

But King Changqing obviously didn't care what he thought. He walked directly to the door and said to Rong Xia: "Come on, I haven't seen this niece for a long time. Today you go with me to see her." .Which courtyard does Hua Yatou live in? The courtyard next to yours?"

When Rong Xia saw King Changqing walking forward, it was obvious that he was a little unobtrusive and did not treat himself as an outsider, so he quickly followed him.

"Your garden is well done." King Changqing stepped onto the nine-curved white marble bridge in the center of the lake. "I heard that this bridge was specially built for the palace when your father was still alive?"

Rong Xia looked at the koi carps wagging their tails in the artificial lake, "This lake and bridge have existed since I can remember."

King Changqing laughed and said, "Your father, your father's affection is so good and enviable."

Rong Xia smiled lightly and said: "When the old prince and the prince's concubine were alive, their relationship was also like the music of the piano and the harp, and the prince joked."

Talk about other people's deceased elders, even if it is a well-intentioned joke, you still have to be honest. He felt that his relationship with the Evergreen King was not good enough to make such a joke.

"You are still such a particular person," King Changqing saw his displeasure and sighed with a smile, "Forget it, I won't say anything."

The two walked across the bridge. Rong Xia did not take King Changqing to the next courtyard, but took him to his own main courtyard. When he reached the entrance of the main courtyard, he said to a boy guarding the door, "Go and invite Princess Fule and Prince Ban, and tell them that King Changqing is here."

Hearing this, King Changqing stopped the boy and said, "You don't have to be so particular. Hua Yatou is ill. How can I bear her tossing her back and forth? Why don't I just go over and see her."

"My lord, you are her elder. There is absolutely no reason for you to visit her. My lord, you are the prince and your status is higher than hers. You cannot condescend to me." Rong Xia smiled lightly, "Just right. She is in better spirits today, and walking is good for her health."

"So that's it," King Evergreen said without any embarrassment on his face, "I thought wrongly."

Rong Xia led King Changqing into the main hall of the main courtyard. King Changqing took the honorary seat and he took the deputy seat.

A maid came in to serve tea. Prince Changqing looked at Rong Xia with a meaningful expression: "The maid in the Marquis's house is really..."

"Master Marquis, the princess and the prince have arrived." A boy's voice sounded outside.

These servants refer to them as princess and prince, not Princess Fule and prince Jingting. The difference is not the slightest. King Changqing lowered his head and took a sip of tea. It was rumored outside that Rong Xia didn't like Princess Fule, but Princess Fule kept pestering her, and now she had a life-saving favor for Marquis Chengan. With Marquis Chengan's character, he Regardless of the opinions of outsiders, he left her to recuperate in the house, and couldn't bear to let down her affection.

But if Marquis Cheng'an really has no feelings for Banhua, how could the servants in his mansion be so close to Banhua?

"I have met His Royal Highness King Changqing."

"The family doesn't pay attention to these things," King Changqing looked up at the pair of outstanding-looking siblings, and asked them to sit down with a smile, "I came to visit today without affecting Huahua's rest, right?"

After hearing this, Banhua smiled and replied: "Your Highness can care about me, so how can it be an influence?"

King Changqing immediately smiled and said: "My niece is right. There are no major events in the court now, so I am looking forward to eating your wedding wine, niece."

Banhua turned his face: "Your Highness, are you here just to make fun of me?"

Is there nothing serious going on in the DPRK?

I'm afraid something is going on everywhere and everyone just pretends not to see it.

The Evergreen King laughed immediately when he heard this, like the gentlest elder, telling some jokes, but taking into account the mood of the junior, he made the joke just right. If Banhua had not had that strange dream last night, then she would definitely like this kind of Evergreen King.

But no matter what King Evergreen does now, what comes to her mind is still the scene in her dream.

Because the soles of his feet were stained with blood, he wiped them on the remains of others, as if he was stepping on a rag instead of a person. She never thought she was very kind-hearted, but that didn't mean she could accept someone so ruthless.

"Girl Hua?" King Changqing noticed something was wrong with Banhua's expression, and looked at her eyes full of worry: "Aren't you fully recovered yet?"

Banhua forced a smile and said: "I'm indeed a little dizzy."

"In this case, I won't bother you," King Changqing stood up and said, "I came today because I wanted to visit you. Seeing that you have no big problem, I can rest assured."

Banhua narrowed her eyes and smiled, her brilliant eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She seemed very happy, but it was impossible for people to see her true thoughts clearly.

"I send you off to the county prince," Rong Xia stood up and walked out of the main courtyard with King Changqing.

When he walked out of the Moon Gate, King Changqing suddenly said: "Master Ronghou, you are a blessed man."

"I wonder why the county prince said this?"

"I originally thought that with your personality, you would find a woman as elegant as a chrysanthemum. I also thought that living such a life would be very boring." The Evergreen King played with the folding fan in his hand, shook his head and laughed. He said, "I didn't expect that you would actually get my most interesting niece."

"The princess is joking," Rong Xia suddenly changed her tone, "But the princess is indeed a rare and good girl."

The Evergreen King chuckled, turned around and continued walking out. When I walked to the second door, I saw several maids and servants walking in holding countless gift boxes, some of which had Prince Ning's logo on them.

Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up even more, and he turned to Rong Xia and said, "Master Marquis, please stay, there is no need to see you off again."

"Your Majesty, please be polite."

"Stay."

Rong Xia finally sent the person to the gate. Before King Changqing got into the carriage, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Hearing the voice, King Changqing turned to Rong Xia and said, "Master Hou, you should take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern."

King Changqing walked into the carriage, and the luxurious Prince's carriage slowly drove away from the Marquis Cheng'an Mansion. Rong Xia stood at the gate, quietly watching the carriage go away, and then turned around and left after he could no longer see it. Went back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he saw Banhua standing on the nine-curved white marble bridge. Ban Heng, who liked to be her little tail, was missing.

"Huahua," Rong Xia walked to Banhua, "it's windy here, why are you here?"

"It's too boring to sit in the yard, so I'll go out and bask in the sun." Banhua held her hair in a loose bun and looked very relaxed and lazy. She raised her chin towards the gate, "Evergreen King, go back Already?"

"Well, let's go back," Rong Xia stretched out his hand to her, "Let's go to the yard to bask in the sun. It's windy here. If the disease becomes serious, you have to take medicine. Isn't this suffering?"

Ban Hua looked at the hand stretched out in front of her and put her hand into Rong Xia's palm: "Okay."

She really didn't want to drink that bitter medicine anymore.

"Where are the class brothers?"

"I asked him to go back to the yard to do horse walking," Banhua said, "his body is still too weak and needs some practice."

Rong Xia was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said: "You are right, it is good for boys to be stronger."

Anyway, everything Huahua said is right, so that’s no problem.

The case of the assassination of the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion was ultimately determined to be jealous revenge of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and had nothing to do with other people. Some people believed this statement. After all, His Majesty sent people to investigate the case with great fanfare and rewarded Marquis Cheng'an with many things. There were even rumors that if Marquis Cheng'an had not been in court recently and had just been named a Marquis, His Majesty would have wanted it. The Jin Dynasty made him the Duke of the country. This attitude did not seem to treat Marquis Cheng'an in low regard.

Honorable people sneered at such rumors. That is a dukedom, not a candy to coax children. If you see you are unhappy, I will give you one.

There are only three people in the whole court who actually hold the title of Duke.

One is the younger brother of the Queen Mother and the father of the other Queen, and the remaining one is the dude from the Ban family.

These three princes all have one thing in common, that is, they rely on women to rise to power. One relies on her sister, one relies on her daughter, and one relies on her mother.

As an official or a minister, if you can earn a title, it will be a great event to honor your ancestors. Even in the genealogy, it will be recorded in a big way. Even if the dynasty changes after hundreds of years, the descendants will still be proud of it. Light.

A few people understood clearly that His Majesty was not pampering Marquis Chengan, but was trying to appease him. Because the real murderer cannot be that official, but someone else. How could a small official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs have such great ability to hire such a professional killer and bribe him to become a servant of Anhou Mansion?

They don’t need to think too much about whom His Majesty wants to protect, they should understand in their hearts.

Ning Wang.

Some veterans were a little chilled. Even if King Ning did such a thing, His Majesty should not let him continue to supervise the country even if he protects his shortcomings. Today, if Marquis Cheng'an makes him unhappy, he will send assassins to assassinate them. If what they do does not suit his liking tomorrow, will he also send assassins to kill them?

Cheng'an Hou was lucky. Princess Fule came to save his life at the most critical moment, but can each of them have such good luck?

Your Majesty acted like this because he did not take the lives of his courtiers seriously.

Some courtiers were heartbroken, and some were beating their chests and stamping their feet. Ban Huai and a few dandy brothers made a scene in court. King Ning was so angry that his face was livid. If he hadn't been concerned about Ban Huai's identity, he would have sent out guards long ago. The army dragged Ban Huai down.

Originally they thought that when King Ning was so angry with Ban Huai, Ban Huai would definitely take advantage of the fire and go wild in the court again. Who knew that when the court meeting started, Ban Huai not only did not come, but also injured himself Fake.

Everyone asked about the reason, okay? On the way home from the imperial court, the dignified Duke Jingting was surprised by someone, and his forehead was knocked against the wall of the car, causing a small wound. Fortunately, the carriage that Lord Jingting rode in was covered with a thick layer of mats, and even the walls were sewn with fur, so the injury was not serious.

However, Duke Jingting had just fought against the injustice of Marquis Cheng'an in court, and was injured on the way back. He was frightened by someone "coincidentally".

They have never seen such a coincidence in the world. I am afraid this is not a coincidence, but man-made. People in high positions are inevitably suspicious. Therefore, Mr. Jingting’s accident has been determined in everyone’s minds as someone else’s ulterior motive.

Let me ask, who would hold such grudge against Duke Jingting?

Everyone turned their attention to Prince Ning, who was sitting on the python-patterned seat under the dragon chair. He was irritable, cruel, careless about human life, and narrow-minded. If such a person became an emperor, how could they survive? Marquis Cheng'an and Duke Jingting were both plotted by him, so what about them?

Banhua, who was still recovering from her injuries in Cheng'an Marquis Mansion, could not sit still after hearing that Ban Huai was injured. She hurried back that day. As a result, she circled around Ban Huai several times and only saw on his forehead. A bag about the size of a thumb, with no other injuries at all.

"Father, what is going on?" Banhua drank half a cup of tea in one breath. In order to rush back early, she didn't even have time to eat lunch.

"This is really a coincidence," Ban Huai laughed dryly and told what happened.

The general idea is that a man accidentally rushed out and startled the horse pulling the carriage. Ban Huai, who was sitting in the carriage, hit his head against the wall of the carriage. What's even more coincidental is that the person who did the bad things was from Ning Palace. A eunuch. He secretly left the palace to buy things.

This matter cannot be explained clearly. Even if King Ning did not ask someone to do it, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, it was King Ning who did it.

So everyone sighed again, King Ning is really crazy and can do anything.

Jiang Luo, who was in the limelight right now, was quarreling with the princess. Jiang Luo disliked Xie Wanyu's meddling in other people's affairs and should not have sent gifts to the Marquis of Cheng'an. Xie Wanyu laughed at him for not thinking too hard about things. Not only did His Majesty and the Queen reward Marquis Cheng'an with gifts, but even the prince who was imprisoned in the East Palace was given gifts. When a gift comes to Rong Xia's house, how shameless does he have to be that he is not even willing to give it a face-saving gift? Do you think there are not enough rumors outside and are not ugly enough?

"So what if I asked someone to kill him?" Jiang Luo sneered, "Who is he? I, the high-ranking prince, should live my life based on his face?"

"But you didn't kill him," Xie Wanyu said in despair at Jiang Luo's brain. "If you were really capable, you should have killed him that night. Now you didn't say anything, and let many people notice it." When it comes to your motives, what do you want the courtiers to think of you?"

"I don't care how they look at me and treat me..." Jiang Luo sneered, "They're just a bunch of dogs, who cares what the dogs think?"

Xie Wanyu was too lazy to say anything more to him, so he simply got up and left the room.

Dogs can bite people too. Besides, even if these people are willing to be dogs, they may not be willing to let Jiang Luo be their master.

"Princess," a maidservant ran up to her and whispered, "The eldest son has sent someone to deliver a letter."

Xie Wanyu paused and raised his eyebrows: "You mean the eldest son?"

"Yes."

She took the paper, which was rolled up thinner than her little finger, and unfolded it. Her face turned pale, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the yard behind her.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The maid saw that she looked wrong and looked at her worriedly.

"I'm fine," Xie Wanyu took a deep breath and dug his beautifully manicured nails into his flesh. "Remember, you can't tell anyone about this note, including the people of the Zhongping Mansion. People, do you know?"

The maid nodded with some fear: "Yes, I have written it down."

She tore the note into pieces piece by piece and threw it into the large water lily tank next to it. The light yellow paper floated on the water like an eyesore, which stung Xie Wanyu's eyes.

"Bang!"

She slapped the water hard, and water splashed everywhere, soaking her face and clothes. She wiped the water off her face with the back of her hand and looked back at the frightened maidservant who was kneeling on the ground. "What are you doing kneeling? Get up."

"Yes." The maid stood up tremblingly, not daring to look at Xie Wanyu's face.

But Xie Wanyu's expression was exceptionally calm. She wiped the water droplets from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips and chuckled, "Help me change my clothes."

The consequence of Banhua rushing back to the Jingting Palace was that she was sick again, with good and bad times. She came to Ban's house from time to time when her appearance was not good, so she had to have people deliver things to Ban's house. Give me gems today, mist satin tomorrow, and novel novels the day after. Valuable or worthless, whatever he thought Banhua would be interested in, he would give it to Banhua.

The summer passed gradually, and it was at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter that Banhua completely recovered. True to her words, the illness was gone like a string of silkworms, and her silkworms were still the kind that were drawn very slowly.

His Majesty has sent several decrees to allow Rong Xia to return to the court to serve. However, Rong Xia's health seems to have been in bad shape since the last time he was beaten. Just a few days after returning to the court to take up his post, Rong Xia fell ill again. . Emperor Yunqing sent his imperial doctor to check his pulse in person. The imperial doctor also said that his health was damaged and it would not recover if he did not take care of himself for a year and a half.

In desperation, Emperor Yunqing had no choice but to promote a few more people who had nothing to do with Prince Ning or the Prince's faction.

These people don’t look like much, but the prince and officials from Prince Ning’s faction cannot avoid them in every word or deed. Moreover, officials from Prince Ning and Prince’s faction don’t dare to touch these people too much. Prevent others from plotting against you.

People on both sides know that His Majesty is testing the hearts of both sides. If something happens to these people, His Majesty will naturally be suspicious.

When the first snow of winter fell in the capital, Emperor Yunqing was able to throw away his crutches and walk a few steps without support. On the night when he planned to take over the government again, he started to do it again. What a nightmare.

He dreamed that he was only more than ten years old, his father didn't want to see him, his brothers looked down on him, and only Ban Huai and Rong Xiaolangjun, who were several years younger than him, followed him sincerely.

He saw Duke Jingting coming to take over Huai, but Duke Jingting’s throat was full of pus and blood, and his face was stained with blood. “Uncle, what’s wrong with you?”

"Your Majesty, wasn't it you who ordered people to poison the ministers to death?"

"Your Majesty," Rong Xiaolangjun, who was originally following him, suddenly had his hair falling all over the floor, and black blood oozed from his ears, mouth and nose, "Your Majesty, you hate me for seeing all your embarrassing past. , is that why you killed me?"

"No, no..."

Emperor Yunqing retreated repeatedly: "I, I am doing it for the sake of the country..."

"Lie!"

"Lie!"

"No!" Emperor Yunqing was suddenly surprised and shouted in horror, "It's not me!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The eunuchs and maids filed in. When they saw Emperor Yun Qing lying under the dragon bed, they broke into a cold sweat. How could Your Majesty fall off the bed?

The imperial doctor rushed over soon. After seeing Emperor Yunqing's symptoms, he shook his head solemnly. His Majesty seemed to be getting more seriously ill.

"Imperial doctor..." The queen glanced at the emperor lying on the bed, his expression numb and haggard. In the past six months, Emperor Yunqing's weird temper had almost wiped out their former friendship, but Looking at the man with half white hair and beard on the bed, her heart softened, "What happened to Your Majesty? Why did his hair turn gray overnight?"

"Empress, Your Majesty is too worried." The imperial doctor knelt in front of the Queen, "I am incompetent. Your Majesty's condition has gradually improved, but after tonight..."

The queen waved her hand feebly: "I know."

It is even more difficult to recover from a second stroke.

After Emperor Yunqing woke up, he found that he could not leave again. He immediately lost his temper and scolded many servants of Dayue Palace. Even the queen was severely scolded by him.

"Where is my blessing bag?" Emperor Yunqing found that the blessing bag under his pillow was gone. He opened his eyes wide in horror, "Who stole my blessing bag?"

The lucky bag is gone, and even a corner of the door **** posted outside the door was damaged due to the strong wind last night. Emperor Yun Qing sat on the bedside with his hair disheveled, staring at the gauze tent blankly, as if he had lost his mind, "It must be because these are gone, that they came to me. It must be this reason."

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take medicine." Wang De came in holding a medicine bowl, but Emperor Yun Qing, who suddenly became agitated, knocked over the medicine bowl in his hand, and the medicine poured all over him, soaking him. He took off his clothes, but Wang De didn't even dare to frown.

"Go and pass on my instructions and summon Anhou and Princess Fule into the palace immediately." Emperor Yunqing held Wang De's hand tightly and said, "Let them enter the palace immediately."

"Your Majesty," Wang De whispered, "Marquis Cheng'an is ill and is still in bed."

"You have to carry him in even if you ask him to." Emperor Yun Qing's eyes were shining, like a man who had been short of water for a long time and found a pool of clear spring water. He ignored everything and said, "Go quickly. ”

"Yes." Wang De bowed and retreated.

Out of the house, the cold wind penetrated his bones along the soaked clothes, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Grandpa De, do you have any instructions?"

"His Majesty's oral message is passed down, announcing that the Marquis of An has an audience with Princess Fule."

"This..." The little **** looked at the heavy snow outside. Two days ago, Marquis Cheng'an suffered from Taoism. His Majesty also gave him some tonic, but today he was frozen like this and asked people to enter the palace again. This is not Torturing people?

"Let the Guards handle this matter quickly. Your Majesty is anxious to see them."

"Yes!" The little **** didn't dare to say anything. His Majesty's temper is getting weirder and weirder now. Several people in Dayue Palace have been beaten to death with boards. Even if he is just a rootless eunuch, he still cherishes his life.

The Ban family is eating hot pot around the warm stove. Although their family can't eat big fish and meat now, the hot pot cooking is delicious. When they heard that Emperor Yunqing had urgently summoned him, and only Banhua was summoned, the Ban family was both surprised and worried, but they did not dare to openly resist the order.

Banhua put on a white fox-collared uterine outfit and a white fox cloak, and walked out of the Ban family's door under the worried eyes of the Ban family.

The carriage sent by the palace was already waiting outside the gate, and the person standing at the front was Shi Jin.

When Shi Jin saw Banhua, he silently saluted her and took a few steps back.

A praetorian guard crunched the snow and moved a wooden bench in front of the carriage. Ban Hua nodded to the guard, who immediately stepped aside with a blushing face.

The cold wind blew the fur collar on Banhua's fox fur. She pulled the skirt of her clothes and stepped on the wooden bench.

"Princess, please be careful where you step."

Shi Jin stood beside the horse stool, lowered his head and whispered.

Banhua turned her head to look at him. He was still wearing silver armor, and a few red tassels on the top of his silver helmet were swaying in the cold wind. This was almost the only bright color on his body.

"Thanks for the reminder."
