"Your Highness, someone wants to see you. I've been waiting for an incense stick."
As soon as Prince Jing replied, someone came forward to report, so he went to the flower hall alone.
In the flower hall, Abar was lying with his legs spread out, his arms resting on the armrests of the chair. His sturdy figure made the huge chair seem a little small.
Prince Jing suddenly slapped the handle of the four-wheeled vehicle and said, "Someone come here!"
"King!" Abal interrupted him hastily, "I sent a message back before I came here!"
Several guards appeared in a flash, waiting for King Jing's orders. King Jing raised his right hand and paused in mid-air. After a while, he moved his fingers backwards, and the guards retreated silently.
Abal secretly broke into a cold sweat and clasped his fists towards Prince Jing: "I'm sorry for what happened before! I kidnapped Princess Yongle just to be absolutely sure!"
"Ha." Prince Jing sneered, his sharp gaze shooting over. "If you dare to touch her again, all previous agreements will be void. You can make the previous letters public. The worst that can happen is that I will die."
Abar wrote down his plan countless times in his mind, but it was of no use.
He stared at King Jing for a long moment, gnashing his teeth, and finally said in a harsh voice, unwilling to give in: "Okay!"
King Jing had been thinking carefully over the past two days and had figured out a reason. The Barbarian Country had sent people across mountains and rivers to come to him to trade, and even threatened him with letters. It was obvious that they had encountered a difficult situation and wanted to borrow his money to get rid of the disaster.
Since they have something to ask for, the initiative can be temporarily in our hands.
After sending Abal away through the back door, Prince Jing glanced towards Prince Gong's Mansion, intentionally or unintentionally...
The next day, someone from the palace came with an oral order, asking Prince Jing, who was riding in a four-wheeled carriage, to enter the palace to take up his post.
Princess Jing didn't dare go out with the two children alone, so she had little Qin Huo wear a dress in a sky-blue emerald green. To prevent him from refusing women's clothing again, Princess Jing threw away his previous men's clothing.
The fresh and timeless blue sky and water make him look ethereal and graceful.
Princess Jing was amazed. This child looked like a disaster for the country and the people. If his eyebrows were trimmed into moth-shaped eyebrows and his eyes were softer, it would be hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
She had thought about it and decided that if Prince Jing couldn't find his parents, she would adopt the child!
Little Sweetie was simply admiring it, hopping over like a little rabbit and holding Little Qinhuo's hand: "Fairy sister, let's swing!"
Xiao Qinhuo glanced at Princess Jing with resentment. Don't think he didn't know that the men's clothes must have been hidden by them.
In order to please the little kid, they forced him, a man, to wear women's clothes. How shameless these people are!
Princess Jing tried to ignore his complaints. Seeing that he had simply tied his hair back, she smiled and said, "Let me help you put a bun on your hair. It will definitely look better this way..."
"Ah... Aba!" Xiao Qinhuo shook his head firmly. This was his last bottom line and he would never give in!
Tian Bao said distressedly: "Aunt Huang, Fairy Sister doesn't want to, we can't force her."
"Okay, I'll listen to Tianbao." Princess Jing looked at little Qin Huo with regret. She originally wanted to practice with Qin Huo's black hair.
While Tianbao and Qin Huo were swinging on the swing as childhood sweethearts, a bloody storm was taking place in the palace.
When the foolish emperor sent people to exorcise the evil spirits and clean up the entire harem, a blood letter in the cold palace also came to light.
It was Zhong Cainu's handwriting. The sharp bloodstains concealed resentment in every word, revealing a huge secret: the third prince was not the emperor's biological son, but the illegitimate child of Concubine Dong and her old lover. Concubine De also knew about it, but she kept it secret.
A letter written in blood dragged the two concubines into trouble.
The foolish emperor was furious. He had heard that Concubine Dong had an old lover.
Thinking back, Concubine Dong had no intention of entering the palace. If she had not been favored by the tyrant emperor, she would have married her lover when she returned.
"Investigate this thoroughly! Investigate this thoroughly!" Tian Bao was not in the palace, and the emperor was already irritable and easily angered. Even though Zhong Cainu had a grudge against Concubine Dong and it was very likely that she had framed her before her death, he still couldn't stand the rumors of cuckoldry.
So Concubine Dong’s old lover was found out, and it turned out to be the imperial physician Zhuang Weiqing from the Imperial Medical Bureau!
Looking through the medical records again, it was almost always Zhuang Weiqing who made the diagnosis when Xuehan Palace summoned the imperial physician!
The tyrant emperor was furious and came to the Xuehan Palace in anger.
One day of glory, another day of loss. Concubine Dong was mentally prepared for this, and her eyes showed her usual coldness.
The tyrant emperor originally admired her cold and aloof nature, unlike other concubines who were coquettish and vying for favor, but at this moment, she seemed to be giving up hope.
The tyrant emperor wore a cold smile, threw the blood letter in her face, and said coldly: "Don't you have anything to explain?"
Concubine Dong's clear eyes flashed, her brows slightly furrowed, and she stared at the tyrant emperor for a long time.
After a long moment, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "I always thought Your Majesty understood me, but in the end, you didn't even have the most basic trust. Those who are innocent are innocent, and I have a clear conscience."
She hesitated for a long time, but did not mention the third prince.
If the tyrant emperor doesn't believe it, mentioning the child at this time will only bring him harm.
"Call Zhuang Weiqing!" The tyrant emperor looked at her expressionlessly, his cold gaze like a cold-blooded poisonous snake, moving slowly over her face, as if he would open his bloody mouth and swallow her at any time.
Concubine Dong appeared calm on the surface, but layers of cold sweat oozed from her back.
She always kept in mind that she must not show any trace of guilt or panic. If she was not careful, the entire Dong family and even the Third Prince might fall into an irretrievable situation.
Half a cup of tea later, Zhuang Weiqing hurried over carrying a medicine box.
He didn't know what had happened, but when he saw that Xuehan Palace was in a mess, he couldn't hide his worry from his eyes.
Unable to help himself, he stole a glance at Concubine Dong, who was staring blankly at the emperor's dragon robe.
"Who gave you the courage to commit adultery under my nose!" The tyrant emperor had a cold smile on his face and spoke words that made people's hair stand on end.
Zhuang Weiqing trembled all over and knelt down with a pale face: "Your Majesty is wise! I dare not!"
"How did you and Yingxue meet?" The tyrant emperor smiled sweetly, but every word he asked made Zhuang Weiqing's scalp tingle.
He didn't dare to deny it and could only give a brief account.
He and Dong Yingxue were childhood sweethearts, but the Dong family had only one daughter, so she had to participate in the imperial concubine selection, and she happened to be chosen. The two could only hide their feelings for each other, living far away from each other.
He could have entered the court as an official, but Zhuang Weiqing could not resist the longing in his heart, and entered the Imperial Medical Bureau with his excellent medical skills.
Dong Yingxue had advised him that with his talent, he would surely shine in the court, but he dismissed the idea. If he could enter the court, he couldn't enter the harem, and then he would never see her again.
But he never dared to overstep his bounds. He just kept this feeling deep in his heart and was happy to see that she was safe and sound during the consultation.
"Haha!" As soon as the foolish emperor saw Zhuang Weiqing's eyes, he knew that this kid was indeed coveting his beloved concubine.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud. The only concubine he regarded as his confidant, whom he even gave the title of "understanding", ended up making him a laughing stock of the whole world.
"Zhuang Weiqing, causing chaos in the palace, must be executed..."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Dong could no longer hold back her anger. With bloodshot eyes, she interrupted the tyrant emperor.
The tyrant's pupils shrank sharply. Was she trying to plead for her lover?
very good!
Zhuang Weiqing trembled all over and kowtowed vigorously. The dull thud of his forehead hitting the ground was so loud that it made the tyrant emperor look sideways: "Your Highness and Concubine Dong are innocent!"
His mind raced, he didn't know how to prove his innocence.
He raised his head and glanced at Concubine Dong with his peripheral vision: "Your Majesty, I am willing to die to show my loyalty!"
As he spoke, he threw himself against the pillar in the hall with all his strength, and blood was dripping all over his body.
