Things won't be that simple, Lin Qingqian is sure.

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Zhao Jingyun smiled and told him the whole story.

The emperor was angry, and King Chen Qing was in a rage. Even Lin Qingqian thought that things were not simple, and as the person involved, he was even more furious.

He has never been the only one who plots against others, and has never been so calculating as hard as this time.

Yes, in order to create a deep-rooted image, he had no women around him. He did like Concubine Yan, but he had no beasts to marry a woman in the temple. Even if the other party was Concubine Yan, he was the woman he liked.

Furthermore, even if the house in the temple is not strong, it will not fall directly into a wall, and it happens to be close to the kang.

No matter how stupid Chen Qingwang was, he knew that he had been plotted against. He was so angry that his chest hurt.

Because Ling Xiaoye and the third prince led the troops in Jingzhou, he had no time to mobilize people and could not let go of many things, so the emperor did not dare to move. He pretended to be stupid and deliberately delayed.

But now that such a scandal has happened, the plan is probably going to change.

The emperor is no longer capable. For the sake of the royal face and the reputation of the former emperor, things will not be good this time.

So it's time to prepare everything.

"Prince, the princess is not in good health, please come over." As King Chen Qing pondered, the girl in Princess Yan's house came to invite someone.

At this time, King Chen Qing didn't want to see Concubine Yan. He was upset and had no time to coax her. But he knew Concubine Yan's temper, and it was difficult for her over the years.

Thinking of this, King Chen Qing went to Concubine Yan's yard without saying a word.

"Mother, has your health improved?" When King Chen Qing arrived, he heard his son's voice coming from outside the house. He was stunned and sighed in his heart.

He had only one son in his life, and was still a bad son. For this son and his beloved woman, he never wanted any other descendants. Do you regret it? No, he doesn't regret it! As soon as he thought that it was his woman, but he had just gone to war, he finally escaped back to the capital for a lifetime, but the woman had become a concubine next to the emperor.

Back then, he resented and hated even more.

But when he received the woman's secret letter, all his resentment towards her turned into heartache. It turned out that her woman had to go to the palace because she ruined his child. In other words, the emperor took the blame.

Later, the prince was born. As a prince, it is naturally the best choice to stay in the palace. It is said that women with children have different hearts. It is from the birth of the child that Concubine Yan had a different mind. He originally didn't want to fight or do evil things, but the emperor shouldn't have been undone and killed the donkey and seized all his rights. Then he found that the child was in poor health. He finally became ruthless and thought of a way to change the prince out of the palace without knowing it.

The prince lacked maternal love since he was a child, so he had a deep relationship with his mother. It would be better that the family finally reunited.

So what if his son is in poor health, he can spend money to prosper his life. Now he has several talented and knowledgeable grandsons, so his branch will definitely grow.

What he wants is an opportunity. After preparing for so many years, there is no reason to let go.

"It's okay." Concubine Yan's voice was a little hoarse. She was a little shy in front of her son and daughter-in-law. At her fifties, she could not tell at all on her face. She had been taking good care of her.

Thinking of the prince's madness on the mountain, Concubine Yan's face turned red slightly. The man was sincere to her. When the wall was smashed, he did not escape alone, but tried his best to protect her. Even if the relationship between the two was exposed for this, he did not hesitate at all.

So Concubine Yan didn't regret giving silently over the years. She took her son's hand with heartache and told her, "The weather is getting cold outside, so don't go out. The mother's health has no major problems. You don't have to come here every day to pay your respects. Your body is weak, what if you suffer from a cold?"

"If the child wears a lot, he will be careful in everything and there will be no problem." Chen Zi replied gratefully.

"Prince." At this moment, King Chen Qing entered the door, and Concubine Yan and Prince Chen both looked up.

"Have your health improved?" Chen Qingwang walked to the bed and asked.

"No problem. Today, Qi'er and his wife come here, so the prince will have dinner here too." Concubine Yan looked at him with warmth.

"Okay." King Chen Qing nodded and agreed.

At noon, the younger generations, regardless of legitimate and illegitimate, appeared.

Concubine Yan looked at Zhao Cong'an with a black cloth strip on her eyes, and tears of distress almost came down. Among all the children and grandchildren, the one she felt most distressed was her son, and the one she liked the most was this granddaughter, because Zhao Cong'an spent the most time with her.

Zhao Cong'an ate very quietly. Even though she became blind, no one in the entire palace dared to treat her slowly. This time, the reason why Concubine Yan and the prince went up the mountain was to pray for her.

After dinner, Zhao Cong'an immediately returned with the help of the girl.

Seeing this, Concubine Yan could no longer hold on to her tears and cried to her daughter-in-law. King Chen Qing sighed, but he couldn't.

"Grandfather, it's time to do it without further ado." Zhao Li, a younger generation, bowed.

"What's the news in the capital?"

"Everything is right, just wait for news from Jingzhou."

King Chen Qing was silent for a while and waved his hand.

Zhao Li and his two younger brothers came to Zhao Cong'an's yard. Zhao Cong sat quietly beside the bed, so silent that it was so panicky.

"Don't worry, sister, everything will be resolved soon. The person has been sent out." Zhao Li comforted him. There was such a real sister in the palace, and the three of them really loved her.

"I want Zhao Jingyun and Xie Zhen to crush the bones and raise the ashes." Zhao Cong'an gritted his teeth and finally cried out, "After cutting thousands of knives, crush the bones and raise the ashes again."

"good."

As the end of the year approaches, every year the vassal kings would come to Beijing to report their duties on time, but until the palace was sealed, there was no vassal king in the capital this year. A good vassal king would send people to Beijing to report their duties, but this year was very strange.

Almost no vassal kings who should come, and those who came to Beijing every year only sent people to come.

The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over. He couldn't tell where the vassal kings below had different thoughts.

King Jingyue of Pingyang City also sent people to Beijing, which was considered to have saved the emperor's face. Zhao Jingyun did not enter Beijing and also gave sufficient reasons. He suffered internal injuries when he suppressed the bandits and did not attack at that time, but the weather was cold in winter and he realized that if Princess Jing had no skills in medical skills, he would probably have been lying in bed for half a year.

When the emperor saw the memorial, he was so angry that he almost pointed at Pingyang City and cursed. The internal injury did not occur at that time, and it took half a month to go back. Who are you lying to?

Zhao Jingyun also explained in the memorial why the materials for the suppression of bandits were not sent to the capital: the Cao Gang colluded with King Chen Qing and sent all the plundered silver to Jingzhou. This message was encrypted, and he made a special mark to increase, for fear that the emperor would miss it.

Some of the Cao Gang's materials were not exported, and he intercepted them. Seeing that the situation was over, the bandits rushed to jump over the wall and sank the supplies into the river or burned them. Zhao Jingyun also speculated that the Cao Gang might have hidden some of the things, but there are no clues for the time being. When it was found out, they had been sent to the capital.

Of course, Zhao Jingyun also listed some of the things he intercepted. After seeing them, the emperor saw that most of them were jewelry or things that were fun to play with.

The emperor knew that Zhao Jingyun favored Lin Qingqian, and that jewelry and gems were probably given to Princess Jing. However, no other things were found. The emperor did not believe it. The spy he placed in Pingyang City had already reported what he saw to the capital.

Zhao Jingyun was greedy and seemed to have not concealed it, and gave him enough face to the emperor.

From the list alone, Zhao Jingyun did not do anything too much. Even when the officials in the court saw this, they had nothing to say. Some of them knew it well, but everyone pretended to be stupid and didn't want to say it.

The attitude of the vassal kings has already explained everything. There is nothing wrong with the memorial of King Jingyue. As for whether it is the truth, no one can tell whether it is true. After all, all the officials present did not see it with their own eyes.

The emperor was so angry that his heart aches. He had hoped to seize a sum of silver to make the treasury more fulfilled. But he didn't expect that the final result would be like this. Not only did he not eat meat, he didn't even drink a sip of soup.

This year is special, and the situation on the border is not optimistic. At the twenty-sixth time, the emperor has no seal. The emperor does not speak, and the officials dare not slacken. They go to court every day, and people are in panic.

Twenty-seven, the third prince who supervised Jingzhou wrote a letter, which specifically mentioned that the Cao Gang colluded with King Chen Qing and sent some evidence back to the capital. When the emperor saw the evidence, his hands were shaking. He never expected that King Chen Qing had started to make arrangements more than 30 years ago. The Cao Gang subsequently developed and strengthened, and to a large extent, King Chen Qing supported him behind his back.

In this way, the memorial sent by King Jingyue to the capital was completely in line with him.

The emperor may not believe in Ling Xiaoye, but the third prince is his own son, so he believes it.

King Chen Qing! Damn King Chen Qing!

Everyone knows the heart of King Chen Qing. In addition, the affair of Concubine Yan has appeared, so many officials in the court impeached him.

The emperor was furious and in anger, he issued an order to let King Chen Qing go to Beijing to explain. When the officials saw this, they were all secretly surprised. King Chen Qing was so rebellious that the emperor actually just asked him to come to Beijing to defend himself, which was simply disappointing.

The emperor was frequently stimulated by the court, and after returning, he felt heart pain. The empress dowager and Empress Doctor Xuan visited the doctor. The imperial doctor still gave the conclusion that he was worried and severe. As far as he knew about overwork, he prescribed the prescription and the emperor drank it. Not only did he not recover, but his condition became even worse. However, the palpitations given by the Taoist priest were cured after taking the pills.

In Pingyang City, Lin Qingqian is also busy.

It was almost the end of the year. As the woman with the highest status in Pingyang City, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she wanted to lead the female family in Pingyang City to the mountain to burn the first stick of incense.

She didn't have to worry about the arrangements for the New Year. She had a mother in the inner courtyard and a housekeeper in the outer courtyard. She often asked, "The shop and the shop have already sent the elders here, and she would continue to reward what should be rewarded. Lin Qingqian just waited for the New Year to be safe and secure.

Zhao Jingyun, who was "rehaving for illness", was completely missing. When he saw New Year's Eve, even Lin Qingqian had a rare opportunity to sit down and talk to him.

Child Zhao Heng went to bed early every day, and he hadn't seen the prince for more than ten days.
