"He just can't beat me!" Qing Xing was also laughing, shyly and a little proudly, then she moved closer to Concubine Hui and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by his usual sword-wielding skills, but he is very nice to me and doesn't even dare to poke me with a finger. I am the one who usually bullies him!"
"No matter how good-tempered Guard Fang is, you can't just bully him all the time. It's not good for a couple to always be arrogant and exploit the other, understand?" Concubine Hui taught.
"Who says he and he are... a couple?" Qing Xing felt embarrassed.
"It's almost time. You will leave the palace the day after tomorrow. Since you leave the palace, you can get married," Hui Fei said with a smile, and then casually said, "By the way, Qing Xing, today I asked you to deliver pigeon soup to His Majesty. When you came back, you said you met Jiang Bairen in the Yangxin Palace. Do you know what Jiang Bairen said to His Majesty when he went in?"
"Oh, when I went in, Commander Jiang was sitting and drinking tea, not talking, so I didn't know what he said to His Majesty," Qing Xing shook her head, squinting her eyes, trying to recall, and then whispered, "However, when I came out, I heard Commander Jiang mention the King of Pingxi through the curtain, as for the rest, I didn't hear anything else."
"Prince Pingxi?" Concubine Hui was startled. "Why did Jiang Bairen suddenly mention Prince Pingxi? Hasn't Cheng Zi been keeping an eye on the Fourth Prince's case?"
"How would I know?" Qing Xing shook her head and said casually, "It's probably something that happened to the Prince of Pingxi."
Concubine Hui's mind was in a mess. Zhong Zhiheng had been bedridden due to illness because of the murder of the Fourth Prince, and he was still unable to get up. Naturally, he was most concerned about the Fourth Prince's affairs, so much so that he even handed over the affairs of state to Prince Rong. On the surface, Zhong Zhiheng had handed over the case of the investigation of the Fourth Prince's murder to Prince An's Zhong Mingwei, but based on Concubine Hui's understanding of Zhong Zhiheng, he would definitely secretly send the Jinyiwei, whom he trusted more, to investigate. So Jiang Bairen's recent focus must have been on the case of the Fourth Prince's murder, but why did he suddenly mention Prince Pingxi?
Ever since the Fourth Prince was killed, Jinghui has paid special attention to Jiang Bairen. She knew exactly when Jiang Bairen entered and left the palace. She would calculate the time to go to the Yangxin Palace to serve Zhong Zhiheng, just to get some information from Jiang Bairen. Although each time it was just a few words, it was enough for her to analyze and grasp. However, yesterday afternoon, Jiang Bairen did not enter the palace suddenly according to the previous pattern, which made her feel uneasy. She felt that Jiang Bairen must have discovered some important clues or facts, but she had just come out of the Yangxin Palace at that time, and there was really no reason to go again, so she sent Qingxing to deliver a bowl of pigeon soup to Zhong Zhiheng. Who knew that what Jiang Bairen said was the name of King Pingxi.
Is it true that the King of Pingxi was involved?
Moreover, Ma Zhiming was ordered to be executed by Zhong Zhiheng early on. Was it because Ma Zhiming's incompetence angered the emperor, or was it because Zhong Zhiheng had already noticed the relationship between Ma Zhiming and the King of Pingxi?
…
"Your Majesty, now that I think about it, it was really dangerous," Qing Xing suddenly said with emotion, "We were still planning to take action against the Fourth Prince, but he died unexpectedly over there. I don't know who also wants to kill the Fourth Prince. But it's good this way. The Fourth Prince is dead, but it has nothing to do with our Changchun Palace, but it also vented your anger. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
"But who threw the stone?" Concubine Hui asked slowly.
