Chapter 275 Arrangement
Xuanyuan Ling left Chen Qing and went to the study, where King Cheng was already waiting. When he saw Xuanyuan Ling coming back, he immediately saluted.
Then he quickly said to Xuanyuan Ling, "Your Majesty's prediction is correct. Since Your Majesty came to Lingzhou, I have arranged people to watch the people coming and going in front of the palace. There are many people watching the palace when His Majesty goes out today. In order not to alert the enemy, I did not arrange anyone to follow him. But this time they have found out the truth, I am afraid they will really make a move next time."
At the end, King Cheng was somewhat indignant: "How dare they plot treason."
Those noble families have always been nothing but parasites, but the late emperor made them bolder and fatter, and they were planning to influence the court. Now they see that Xuanyuan Ling is not a soft persimmon to be squeezed, they can't control themselves, and they are blinded by greed and actually dare to fish in troubled waters when the emperor is on tour.
Xuanyuan Ling said: "You came at the right time."
Yes, you’ve come just in time.
King Cheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. We are here just in time. We can take care of them for a while. When the time comes, we can pull them out together."
It's not easy to deal with those scattered here and there. If you give yourself a chance and blow up a group of them, it will be easy to catch the rest by pinching the big ones.
Now we just wait for them to take action.
After all, they were targeting the emperor, so there could not be little noise. To put it bluntly, it was most likely an assassination. The involvement of Prince Lin at this time was nothing more than someone had an idea and someone handed over a knife, and they all had their own ulterior motives and used each other to plan to replace the emperor in a dignified manner.
Assassinating the emperor is a big deal. Xuanyuan Ling deliberately went out for a walk today to tell others that the people he was with were still the same people and had not changed, lest others be cautious and not take action. In addition, the people serving him were the same group of people all the time, and it would be difficult for others to get information, even if spies were sent into the palace. Because Xuanyuan Ling usually went out on impulse and the servants did not serve him when he was with Shen Qing, sometimes even Zhao Hai could not hear it, let alone others. Shen Qing would not brag that the emperor wanted to take her out to play.
The news cannot be spread out so it is difficult to arrange the assassination.
"I will deliberately leak the news so that they won't be able to take action."
King Cheng agreed immediately. He had to be extremely cautious about this matter and he had to be nervous until it was over.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished speaking, King Cheng naturally took his leave. He had not come here openly, and this time he really concealed his identity. It was not the case when he went to Yuzhou. On the surface, King Cheng was an idle king, because of the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor's will that he always asked the Emperor to pamper him, as if he was afraid that he would suffer any grievances. But who could have known that when Xuanyuan Ling was still a prince, the twelve-year-old King Cheng was already on the same side as Xuanyuan Ling.
When he was in the palace, because he was loved by the late emperor, other princes including the crown prince would not be hostile to him. He was an idle prince, not outstanding and not very old, so he was naturally the best mask for him.
However, although King Cheng was worried, when he came out, he couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Ling's attitude towards Shen Qing today.
Thinking about it now, he got goosebumps. It was because he was in a hurry to report the matter that he didn't have the time to think about it, but his royal brother was really pretending.
No, it’s not necessarily fake, right?
After all, if the news was leaked deliberately, there would be traitors in the palace. Who knows what would happen? The palace could not be deployed too deliberately. They did not dare to act in the palace because they were afraid of the two thousand guards in the palace. However, the two thousand guards were to protect the emperor. If the news of the emperor's assassination spread, who would protect the concubines when the emperor was assassinated?
Even if the action was taken outside, there was no guarantee that the assassins in the palace would not be desperate and capture the concubines and threaten them.
So it would be reasonable to bring him out now and then the next time. Everything is as planned, so on the other hand, it is safest to stay with the emperor.
King Cheng had met Chen Qing once before. She was so good-looking that he naturally remembered her clearly. When he first met her, she was still a good man, but now she is Concubine Xi.
Originally, King Cheng thought that Xuanyuan Ling had such a bad temper that he couldn't imagine him getting involved with a woman. But now, it seems that Concubine Xi is really capable, but I heard that she can't have children? What a pity.
Since Shen Qing discovered that the plot might be advanced and that she might be assassinated this time, she thought that Chu Linglong's entry into the palace, Chu Linglong's pregnancy, and even her failure to keep the baby were all in line with the plot. Although the plot was advanced this time, according to her current nature, Chu Linglong would not do anything strange and really make Xuanyuan Ling pay attention to her, right? If the power of the plot is really that strong, it would be terrifying.
Shen Qing frowned when he thought of this question.
She has no contact with Chu Linglong now. One of the reasons why Shen Qing does not contact Chu Linglong is because the plot has indeed changed, and Chu Linglong is a smart person. She will not make friends with Shen Qing when Shen Qing is in favor, as she would be suspected of riding on the popularity. Therefore, the two have always kept their distance from each other.
But Chen Qing also considered that if something happened at the appropriate time, in order to consider the damn plot that would come true from time to time, if necessary, he would still do Chu Linglong a favor. It didn't have to be a particularly good relationship with her, and Chunchun would also provide more protection in order to avoid making enemies.
However, Shen Qing would not do it deliberately. After all, what he mainly relies on now is not the plot.
I think since Xuanyuan Ling has noticed this, it must be safe.
Over there, after Xuanyuan Ling finished his work and saw that it was getting late, he suddenly thought of Chen Qing, thinking that she must be asleep by now, but probably because her every frown and smile during the day lingered in his mind, he thought about it at night, and even if he did nothing, he wanted to sleep with her.
As a result, when he arrived, he heard Shen Qing shout, "Your Majesty?"
Shen Qing was thinking about something, so naturally he didn't sleep either, and Xuanyuan Ling happened to come.
Xuanyuan Ling also went to the bed. They were used to it, so they changed to a comfortable position for both of them, and Shen Qing leaned on him.
"Are you still awake so late?"
"I was so excited about the fun that I couldn't sleep." This Shen Qing is not here just now.
Xuanyuan Ling laughed: "Like a child, go to sleep."
"Your Majesty, have you finished handling all your affairs?"
Xuanyuan Ling curled his lips and said, "If it is your turn to worry about my affairs, I won't have to be the emperor anymore." He paused and said, "I know you have noticed something, but don't think too much. Just like usual, I won't let you have any trouble."
He almost made it clear that something was bound to happen. Shen Qing nodded: "I know, Your Majesty should take better care of yourself."
In fact, it was just a very ordinary sentence of care, but even though you didn't say it, there was someone who understood you and cared about you. Xuanyuan Ling curled the corners of his mouth and felt that his thoughts about her were not in vain.
