Chen Jingyao walked over, and her demeanor was elegant and generous, quite like the posture of a princess.

"Cousin, I haven't seen you in a few days." She stretched out her hand and wanted to hold Xue Jinyi's hand, but she didn't expect that both of her hands were on King Chu's arms, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her empty hands.

"Is there something wrong with Cousin Jing Yao?" Xue Jinyi yawned and looked sleepy, "It's been a busy day, and it's not early, I want to sleep when I'm full, and I'll continue to make a lot of money tomorrow." ”

Chen Jingyao looked at Xue Jinyi's delicate and bright face, and felt extremely vulgar.

She put up a smirk, "Cousin, Jing Yao felt uneasy in her heart because of some trivial things, so she wanted to ask her cousin for a few words of comfort." ”

Xue Jinyi knew that it must be the truth about Pan Mo's death, she glanced at the palace people around her, and then her eyes signaled that Chen Jingyao was not the place to speak.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyao directly instructed the palace maids, "You all go down, there is something to say between our cousins." ”

Xue Jinyi was speechless.

After being in the palace for so long, Chen Jingyao still doesn't know how to be careful?

How dare you say anything unscrupulously, this is not the Weiguo Mansion or the Chu Palace!

"Yes." The ladies all withdrew.

Chen Jingyao glanced at the man beside Xue Jinyi, grabbed her arm regardless of it, and shouted, "Cousin, I ......."

"Cousin Jing Yao," Xue Jinyi interrupted her directly, "Are you uneasy because the crown prince has a cold and the queen is speechless?" ”

Chen Jingyao was stunned, "No, ......"

"Oh, Cousin Jingyao doesn't need to worry. Fathers have always had clear rewards and punishments, and after the punishment has passed, it will pass. She patted Chen Jingyao's hand and comforted: "You better go back to the East Palace as soon as possible to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, don't let the queen worry about the Crown Prince anymore." ”

"That ......" Chen Jingyao was a little anxious, "I ......"

Xue Jinyi didn't intend to continue with her mouth, and said very considerately: "We won't delay you, let's go back quickly." ”

She nodded to Chen Jingyao, turned her head and left.

"Cousin!" Chen Jingyao hurriedly shouted.

Xue Jinyi didn't seem to hear it, and walked away from the water pavilion with Ai Yun quickly.

She still has important things to order, so she doesn't bother to talk to Chen Jingyao, and if the prince has an accident next, she has to stay out of the matter, and she doesn't want to be implicated.

Chen Jingyao could only stand in the water pavilion, looking at the back of Xue Jinyi leaving, helpless and hateful.

How much she wanted to tell Xue Jinyi that her plan was about to succeed, and she would become the new crown princess, so that Xue Jinyi would get to know each other a little better, and quickly flatter her, in this way, she would be the crown princess and queen in the future, and she would definitely take care of them.

However, Xue Jinyi didn't come to appreciate it at all?

Okay, Xue Jinyi, you will regret it in the future!

Chen Jingyao clenched her fists, took a deep breath, beckoned her palace maid, and hurried to the East Palace.

It's almost Pan Mo's death day, it's time to give Pan Li a heavy final blow, let her fall into the abyss, and never turn over!

On the other side, Xue Jinyi and Ai Yun followed the attendant who led the way to the road where the rancid water had fallen from the sky before, the ground had been cleaned up, and there was no strange smell in the air, as if everything had never happened.

And the road was also very peaceful, and the chamberlain sent them to the carriage at the gate of the palace.

The chamberlain personally moved the footstool and owed them a debt, "Tonight's family banquet is the emperor's own intention, and he specially invited Princess Chu to listen to it." At the family banquet, please think about it carefully for the king and princess of Chu. ”

"Thank you, little father-in-law, I see." Xue Jinyi nodded, and her face was slightly solemn when she got into the carriage.

The chamberlain smiled and watched them get into the carriage, and when the carriage had gone some way, he turned back.

He went straight back to the Hall of the Two Rites.

The emperor was lazily leaning back in his chair, carefully wiping a long sword.

The waiter said: "The emperor has told the princess of Chu all the things that the slave and maid have told the princess. ”

The emperor didn't raise his eyelids and asked, "What is Princess Chu's reaction?" ”

The waiter said: "Princess Chu thanked the slave maid, and there was no other reaction." ”

The emperor nodded, raised the snowy long sword in his hand, and looked at it.

The sharp blade reflected his expressionless face.

What happens next depends on what Princess Chu thinks of this sentence. The thought of heaven and earth is all in her own choice. ”

After Xue Jinyi returned to Jingxuan, she immediately found Jin Yang.

"Go and find out who Queen Cai and Uncle Cai have seen in the past two days, especially today." She instructed: "The queen wants to drive the king of Chu out of the capital in such a hurry, she must be instructed by someone. ”

Ai Yun said: "Could it be that Cai's family wants to be as ...... as the trip to Liangzhou?"

"Nope." Xue Jinyi shook her head slowly, "I have a hunch that this matter is inseparable from the remnants of the previous dynasty...... Nine times out of ten, the person Shen Qingmo saw last night was the one who pointed out the Cai family. With the incident in the ancient city of the Western Night, Shen Qingmo must be worried that the King of Chu would find out the other nests, and it would be difficult to kill him, so the only way to do this was to drive him out of the capital. ”

Ai Yun asked, "The princess thinks this because someone has splashed rancid water on the road?" If you don't dodge, the identity of your subordinates will be exposed. ”

"There's that." Xue Jinyi said: "With the experience of Liangzhou and the plague, the Cai clan will definitely not want to lose any more troops, and they will be more careful when they get rid of the king of Chu, so it is not their style to drive people to the frontier." Besides, with the emperor's deep meaning, this matter must not be simple......"

Speaking of this, Ai Yun was a little worried, "I have never heard that the emperor publicly said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was implicated in the previous dynasty, although it was a family banquet, it was also quite ugly...... Could it be that the emperor is reminding the king of Chu to quietly go to the Zongzheng Temple, and don't have other thoughts and revenge? ”

Looking at Ai Yun and Jin Yang, who frowned after hearing this, Xue Jinyi smiled: "Naturally not. ”

"Huh?"

Xue Jinyi said: "The more ambiguous His Majesty the Emperor is, the more bluffing he is." Don't worry about anything, the king of Chu has big ambitions, although it is good to use his strengths and feet. ”

Ai Yun was puzzled, "But...... The emperor didn't have such an attitude towards His Royal Highness the King of Chu before......"

Is this changing too fast?

More than 20 years of deep-seated prejudice and dislike have been reversed during this period of time?

"In case the emperor is testing whether the king of Chu has the heart to compete for the throne, if there is, His Royal Highness has such bloodline, I am afraid it will be ......"

"No, it won't." Xue Jinyi smiled calmly, "Although the King of Chu is the criminal minister of the previous dynasty, everything he has done, the emperor has seen it in his eyes." Coupled with Cai's repeated deaths, the prince was embarrassed, and the emperor also had to think about the future of the Great Zhou. Just imagine, is it better to hand over the dynasty you have worked so hard to build into the hands of a waste, and die second? Or is it better to put it in the hands of a capable son for generations to come? ”

Ai Yun and Jin Yang suddenly realized, convinced of Princess Chu's explanation.

Xue Jinyi touched her chin, "Speaking of the emperor, let's check again who has been alone today." This may also be the person who met Shen Qingmo secretly. ”
