"Little sister, let me think about this matter carefully. Let's deal with the portrait first."

Qiao Tianjing gently rocked Qiao Jiaojiao to make her sit more comfortably, then he spoke in a gentle voice.

Qiao Jiaojiao leaned in Qiao Tianjing's arms and immediately said, "Brother, the Crown Prince has already known about this. I think the East Palace is already a solid block. The Second Prince's plan may not succeed."

"But now that the wedding is approaching, if the Second Prince cannot reach into the East Palace, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is a good breakthrough point!"

Qiao Tianjing nodded in agreement, "Uncle Xiao is both wise and brave. With just a little reminder, he will be able to prevent any leaks."

"But..."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this subtle turning point, she was startled again!

[It’s over, it’s over. Why can I always understand what Big Brother means in seconds? Ahhhh, my heart is “dirty”! ]

[Hehehe, but this is indeed very interesting...]

When Qiao Tianjing heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, his eyebrows curved and he smiled with particular comfort.

As expected, my little sister understands him the best!

"'Happiness is better shared than happiness alone', little sister, how about we play a game of go with the flow?"

Qiao Tianjing: (─?─)

Qiao Jiaojiao: (?￣? ?? ￣??)

[I hope that no one will be so ungrateful as to plot against my elder brother in the future, or else they will make me lose my pants! ]

Hehehehe......

Just play!

It was the Second Prince who lost his mother's face first, so let's all jump in together and have a big brawl!

The brother and sister, who had the same "dirty" hearts, whispered to each other for a long time, and then walked out of the study with smiles on their faces.

Qiao Bo had just settled Qiao Ershisi and was rushing over to report. When he looked up and saw the two people with squinting eyes smiling, he turned around and ran away!

Job: (′-灬-｀)

Learned it well.

The young master and young lady are laughing like this, something bad must be happening!

The Hall of Mental Cultivation of the Imperial Palace.

After a night's rest, Emperor Yong felt much better and his hands stopped shaking, but he still refused to see the imperial physician.

Huang Pei was so worried that he almost didn't sleep all night.

At this moment, news came back from outside, and Huang Pei hurried into the hall to report.

"Your Majesty,

Emperor Yong leaned back on the pillow and read the memorials, all of which mentioned yesterday's incident at the Huguo Temple, and there were also many impeachments against the second prince.

Emperor Yong had a calm expression. He looked at it and threw it aside, not revealing any emotion at all.

Hearing Huang Pei's words, Emperor Yong's mind changed slightly, and he said calmly: "I'm afraid he has left the capital to look for the second son."

Huang Pei immediately felt that what he said made sense.

Jinzhu had been lurking and plotting in Huguo Temple for so many years, it was impossible that she had no connection with Zhou Bo. Perhaps something happened in Huguo Temple, and Zhou Bo knew that the conspiracy was exposed, so he escaped!

etc!

Huang Pei's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yesterday, I was so focused on worrying about His Majesty that I forgot to consider whether the Second Prince knew about his own life experience.

If he didn't know, would Zhou Bo, out of worry, tell His Highness the truth when Jin Zhu was captured this time?

Emperor Yong raised his eyes slightly, and when his eyes fell on Huang Pei, he instantly understood Huang Pei's thoughts.

"Have you sent anyone out to Qiao Zhongguo?"

Huang Pei nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Your Majesty, I sent someone there yesterday."

Emperor Yong nodded gently and said quietly, "If the second son flees to the north after hearing the news, I will know what's going on."

"If he dares to come back... I want to see what he wants to say to me."

Huang Pei raised his head to look at Emperor Yong lying on the couch, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now even he couldn't see what the emperor was thinking.

So clear, so calm, so unpredictable.

It's like...he has turned back into the young emperor whose heart was hard to predict!

"Huang Pei, go to Huguo Temple in person for me."

Huang Pei's expression became serious when he heard this.

Emperor Yong said calmly, "Tear down the Guiqulaixi Courtyard. Burn the lotus seat and the red string."

"Remember, don't let the Queen and Zhan'er know."

Huang Pei suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

This, this, this...what's going on?

Although His Majesty has not been to Guiqulaixiyuan for a long time, does this order at this time mean that His Majesty has really let go of Concubine Yu?

"Um?"

Emperor Yong saw that Huang Pei did not respond for a long time and glanced back at him in dissatisfaction.

Huang Pei knelt on the ground with a plop and quickly responded with a "yes".

Emperor Yong nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Huang Pei stood up in a hurry, then thought of something and turned back to say, "Your Majesty, the mastermind of the Huguo Temple has been imprisoned."

"I have checked it out, and it is indeed...Jinzhu, the maidservant beside the Majesty."

Emperor Yong uttered a light “hmm”.

Seeing that Emperor Yong had nothing more to say, Huang Pei immediately retreated in a hurry.

Silence returned to the hall.

Emperor Yong leaned back on the pillow with his eyes closed, and his hands on the brocade quilt were shaking slightly and uncontrollably.

This time, not only the right hand, but also the left hand began to shake slightly.

Emperor Yong turned a blind eye, suddenly opened the quilt, stood up, and shouted to the outside of the palace: "Someone, change clothes!"

————

Huang Pei knew the seriousness of the matter, so he called Emperor Yong's confidants, changed his clothes, and sneaked to the Huguo Temple.

Almost at the same time, the prince received the news.

"Huang Pei left the palace?"

The prince frowned slightly.

Now is the most critical moment. Although the prince will not place people around Emperor Yong, he must keep an eye on Huang Pei's movements at all times.

The emperor is not feeling well now and needs someone to be by his side. Why did you send Huang Pei out of the palace?

The prince's expression changed several times, and then he stood up suddenly.

"Let's go and see for ourselves!"

In this way, the two groups rushed to the Huguo Temple one after another.

Qiao Tianjing had left some people in the Huguo Temple. When he received the news, he couldn't help but look confused.

After a while, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed drastically.

This time the Huguo Temple was thoroughly cleaned, except for one place which could not be moved or entered, so it was preserved intact as it was.

Royal forbidden area!

Qiao Tianjing was worried, and after much thought, he decided to send Qiao Bo to investigate in person.

"Qiao Bo, you are highly skilled in martial arts and act cautiously. Go and take a look. Remember, you must not reveal your whereabouts."

Qiao Bo accepted the order with a solemn look and rode out.

Qiao Tianjing was full of doubts, as he had not yet told His Highness about the return of Guiqulaixiyuan.

After all, it was a royal forbidden area and it was the Queen's scar. He had originally wanted to find a reason to let the Crown Prince go and see it on his own before the Second Prince returned to the capital.

Unexpectedly, before he took any action, His Highness was led away by Huang Pei.

Huang Pei naturally followed orders, so this was the will of the emperor. What was the emperor's decision...

Half an hour later, Qiao Bo finally came back, but his face looked very ugly.
