Chapter 112 You are targeting my secret guards again
If the person in front of her was not her own prince, Chen Lian would have wanted to roll her eyes: He usually looks so serious, calm and steady, but she didn't expect that he would be so playful behind the scenes.
Chen Lian calmed down her turbulent emotions, put on a respectful expression on her face, bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, it is normal to have unstable emotions during pregnancy. If you spend more time with Guard Zhu, I'm sure his emotions will be more stable."
Jing Siye shook his head slightly, his expression showing some worry and helplessness.
"Qin'er was already anxious before she got pregnant. I think she must have accidentally learned that the king wanted to seize power, and she was afraid that the king would have three harems and six courtyards in the future and no longer care about her."
"Anxiety disorder?" Chen Lian frowned slightly after hearing this, and hesitated for a long time before continuing.
"I understand. I will go and help Guard Zhu make a careful diagnosis and adjust the prescription. However, the most important thing is that Your Majesty still needs your care and consideration. His heart disease still needs Your Majesty to solve it."
Jing Siye nodded solemnly, "Thank you."
When I was returning to the main courtyard from Chen Lian, I happened to run into Zhai Qing. Zhai Qing's eyes flickered, revealing a guilty conscience. When he saw Jing Siye, he lowered his head and bowed:
"Meet the prince."
Jing Siye's gaze fell on Zhai Qing and he looked him over carefully. He saw that his face looked obviously much more haggard and his eye sockets were sunken.
He must have felt bad for not identifying Concubine Chen in person that day. After all, this matter concerned Chu Heng's life.
Jing Siye raised his lips slightly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said to Zhai Qing:
"By the way, I released Empress Xiao from the cold palace today..."
"……What?"
Zhai Qing exclaimed subconsciously. However, he immediately realized that he had overreacted, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he quickly started to justify himself:
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still imprisoned in the Sky Prison by you. When the Queen comes out, will she..."
Jing Siye replied calmly: "She has also been placed under house arrest by the king, so she can't cause any trouble."
He was a little confused about Zhai Qing's big reaction, but after hearing his question, he felt it was reasonable, so he didn't think about it anymore, but just reminded him in a roundabout way without making any noise:
"The Crown Princess is not in the palace either, so no one is willing to risk their lives to rescue someone from the prison."
"...Didn't they say that all women were not allowed to leave the palace?"
"The Prime Minister is in critical condition and doesn't have much time left. Considering our old friendship, I have allowed the Crown Princess to leave the palace to visit him." Jing Siye explained calmly and slowly.
Zhai Qing nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had thought of something extremely important. He asked anxiously:
"Where is Lan Yue beside the Queen?"
Jing Siye couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but pretended to be puzzled on his face and asked calmly:
"Why is Lord Zhai suddenly concerned about a palace maid?"
Zhai Qing was choked up and stammered, "I, I was just asking casually..."
A faint smile appeared on Jing Siye's lips. "She stayed in the cold palace. I heard that she seemed to have some disease and her reactions became slow. The queen thought she was useless and disliked her very much."
Zhai Qing was shocked. Slow reaction? Isn’t this the aftereffect of being drugged for a long time?
He knew it very well. This was his master's usual method. After using someone, if the person was no longer useful, he would kill him directly; if the person was still useful, he would control him with drugs.
Zhai Qing kept thinking in his mind: Lan Yue's original body was released, and the Crown Princess left the palace...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, as if he had come to this conclusion. He took a deep breath, and finally calmed down slowly, and replied casually:
"I see. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
When his figure disappeared, Jing Siye narrowed his eyes: This is another chance I'm giving you.
Then he shouted towards the roof:
"Come down."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red shadow flew down, and Nangong Ling landed steadily in front of him, holding a dry grass in his mouth, and said with a smile:
"King Zhaonan, you are really amazing. You used him to deal with Concubine Chen."
Jing Siye put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "I only asked him to get the antidote to deal with her. In the end, I'm afraid I will have to do it myself. They are senior and junior sisters, so they must have a deep relationship. Otherwise, why didn't they identify her face to face that day?"
There was a certainty and coolness in his voice; everything was under his control.
Nangong Ling curled her lips and nodded in agreement: "Well, I have pointed it out to her face. If she falls into your hands, Concubine Chen will have no choice but to die."
"I have to prepare for my ascension to the throne in the next few days. I will leave Concubine Chen to him. If he can successfully obtain the antidote and save Lu Bo, I will show leniency and spare him."
Jing Siye paused, looked Nangong Ling up and down, and continued:
"By the way, you won't stay in my palace for the next few days, right?"
Nangong Ling raised her eyebrows nonchalantly and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that? Also, what kind of hospitality is this? Your secret guard is too stingy. I just slept in his bed and he almost had his head moved."
Jing Siye: "Master Nangong, do you have no money so you have to sleep in a restaurant, or do you have no house in the capital so you have to stay in my palace?"
Nangong Ling: "Oh, Jing Siye, I have done such a great service for you, and you actually say this to me, do you still have a conscience? I tell you, you have to reward me when you become the emperor."
Jing Siye glanced at him and asked, "What do you want?"
Nangong Ling answered without hesitation with a sly look in her eyes: "I have to ask first, if you enter the palace, will all your secret guards accompany you into the palace or will some of them stay here?"
Jing Siye: "Of course, a small part will be left here."
Nangong Ling then asked, "What about An Yi?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Siye's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you planning on taking over my secret guards again?"
Nangong Ling waved his hands quickly and said confidently: "What do you mean by 'again'? I assure you that this is definitely the last one."
Jing Siye: “…”
--"roll."
