The emperor is hard to chase

Chapter 123 Chapter 8

Rong Xiao went out the door, and the servants at the side had already come out to invite him, Rong Xiao glanced at the visitor, and said coldly: "I won't go back, let Ah Ning and the others rest well!"

Serena said: "My lord, there are still several programs!"

Rong Xiao glanced at Serena coldly, his calm and prestige made Serena's heart skip a beat, and she quickly retreated.

The servant who doesn't wink anymore knows that the master stays away when he is angry.

Rong Xiao regretted what he said just now.Originally, he planned to promise to that person, but Zhao Jinqing made a mouthful of the prince, as if he sincerely angered himself, and made a low-browed and pleasing gesture!

Every movement, every word, every expression...is like an unspoken resistance...

This kind of Zhao Jinqing, Rong Xiao couldn't help but think, maybe let him go free, that person might disappear immediately!

However, once a hurtful word is spoken, it can never be taken back.

How easy is it to maintain the pride of Zhao's only prince?But what Rong Xiao was worried about was that his pride might have left him when he didn't know when he put that person in his heart... He could only find a way to confine Zhao Jinqing by his side and force him to be by his side. Plant something, but can't get it, can't hold it like a mirror flower and water moon!

Why, why is this...

why!

"Ha ha……"

"Hahaha!"

Rong Xiao raised his head and laughed loudly, a tear fell from his eyes.

The surrounding trees seemed to have heard Rong Xiao's laughter, and they also shook under the sound, as if they were also asking why.

What Rong Xiao didn't know was that in the shadows, his slightly insane and miserable state had fallen into the eyes of others.

Hiding in the shadow of the woods, stood two gorgeously dressed young men.

Sun Yuning said: "Steward Ling, what should we do?"

Ling Chen stared at Rong Xiao and shifted his eyes to the male pet's face, his eyes seemed to flash the brilliance of killing swords, sharp and cold: "What should I do?"

Sun Yuning didn't dare to look directly at that gaze, turned his head and said, "Don't you think he looks like five years ago?"

It's very similar to the man who was drunk five years ago, very similar to the depressed man five years ago... Memories from the past flooded into his mind little by little, and Sun Yuning rubbed his fingertips uneasily: "Steward Ling, you are the last People who care about the prince, can't you feel it?"

Ling Chen was startled, "After five years, you should know the reason."

"But, it's not five years ago!" Sun Yuning's eyes shed tears: "That person is no longer worthy of the prince's attention! Steward Ling, don't you think so?"

He squatted on the ground and suddenly cried out.

Ling Chen walked up to the male pet in one step, looked down at Sun Yuning and cried helplessly.He suddenly laughed, squatted down, and patted Sun Yuning on the shoulder.

"You are right, he has you by his side, and everything is no longer five years ago." Ling Chen said: "You are more beautiful than Bai Qingsheng, more gentle than Bai Qing, and you have so many tears that make people love you. I really don't know what he is better than you!"

Sun Yuning gradually stopped sobbing and raised her flawless face.Ling Chen stood up and stared at the direction where Rong Xiao had stagnated. Under the moonlit night, there was no one there.

"I think, I have a way to make the prince focus on you. However, there is a little danger, would you like it?"

Sun Yuning replied in one go: "I am willing!"

Ling Chen smiled and said, "When you were in Pingzhou, you were raised by your aunt Jasmine. Not only that, but you also had a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, didn't you?"

Sun Yuning was taken aback. He had never mentioned anything about his time in Pingzhou to anyone.Not only that, but he also consciously kept a distance from that side, for fear of being caught by the male favorites in the surrounding area that he once liked someone.

But...how did Ling Chen know?

Ling Chen saw him wandering around, and said: "You sent a letter to your aunt a few days ago, did you ever think that the reply letter has already arrived at the palace?"

"The letter... the letter is in your hands?" Sun Yuning's eyes widened. What he had hidden for many years had been exposed to the eyes of others.Sun Yuning's heart skipped a beat when he thought that the letter was about his former brother.

Ling Chen said: "Of course. But, do you have to argue with me about this?"

Sun Yuning shook his head: "No, I just want to know...how can I please the prince." Thinking of Rong Xiao who was dazed when drunk, Sun Yuning said sadly: "I don't hope that one day, when I open my eyes, I will never see you again. I can't see the prince smiling at me... As long as he is still thinking about Bai Qing, he will never really set his eyes on me!"

"I really can't see, you are still a love seed." Ling Chen laughed out loud, and his smiling face became serious in an instant: "Do you know that your childhood sweetheart has now become a high-ranking official, the emperor?" The popular people around."

"This...it's impossible!" Sun Yuning blurted out.

Ling Chen smiled: "I know you don't believe it. In a few days, there will be a lantern festival held by the government. At that time, even the current emperor will have fun with the people. I think you will have the opportunity to see your childhood sweetheart again that day." .”

"Then... what should I do then?"

Ling Chen raised his face and revealed a mysterious smile.

……

"This medicine can't be stopped. You don't know how many classics and medical books I have read to find out the prescription to cure your disease. I prescribed it to you a few years ago. Who knew that you didn't listen to it?" As for me, I also refuse to take the medicine well. After eating Lu Nanye, it will be difficult to leave now!"

In the room, the old fairy was pounding herbs while rambling.

The window was not closed tightly, and the candle flame in the room was flickering.Zhao Jinqing propped his face with one hand, staring at the window grille in a daze.

"It stands to reason that you used to be the emperor, and every time you eat and drink, someone will test the poison for you. Even if there are a few sudden moments, you shouldn't have been poisoned by this chronic poison, and let it accumulate to a level that is difficult to dissolve even now. It's the right place!"

After the old fairy finished speaking, he waited for Zhao Jinqing to answer, but saw the man looking at the window grille, not knowing what he was thinking.

The old god sighed, it seemed too lonely in this room without anyone talking.I had no choice but to say: "I really don't know what kind of things will be sent to the palace without quarantine! It's so strange, don't you feel it?"

After he finished speaking, he began to think hard.What kind of poison can be made so light and easily sent to the palace!Is it tea from Lanyu, grass fruits from Southern Xinjiang, or other tributes...

However, Zhao Jinqing on the side suddenly said quietly: "Yu..."

After he finished speaking, he opened his collar, took out his white jade from his pocket, and gently stroked the pattern on it.

This sentence was like a turbulent sea. The old god laughed loudly as if he had thought of something: "I understand! I thought of it!"

Zhao Jinqing paused slightly while holding the white jade, turned his head sideways, and looked at the old urchin who was jumping up and down beside him.

"Bai Qing, I got it!" The old god said happily, "It's impossible not to notice anything, except for one thing, poisonous fragrance!"

Zhao Jinqing was confused, he was thinking about other things just now, and he didn't listen to the old fairy.Seeing the excited expression of the old fairy, he stared and said, "What poisonous incense?"

"Oh, that's why you were poisoned!" The old fairy stroked his beard and said complacently, "You must not know that if you put spices mixed with poisonous materials on jade, no matter you touch it or smell it, you will inevitably be poisoned." ! That piece of jade must have been hidden in a place where you didn't pay attention!"

"You mean, Yushi?" Zhao Jinqing was startled.

"nonsense!"

Seeing the white jade in Zhao Jinqing's hand, the old fairy hurriedly reached out to grab it.

But Zhao Jinqing shook his head, "This is a relic left by my mother. Although I wear it close to my body, how could she harm me? What's more, if the poison was on it, I would have had an attack and died a long time ago. Aren't you the same? As I said, this poison is a unique poison in southern Xinjiang, no matter how slow the onset is, it will never be delayed for a year..."

The old fairy said: "Then..."

"Ordinary jade will never be with me all the time." Zhao Jinqing's eyes darkened, and he laughed at himself: "But the person who secretly harmed me can never be my close minister, the elder."

The old fairy said: "Why?"

Zhao Jinqing said: "If they harm me, they will inevitably harm themselves."

In his heart, Gao Shun, who had been taking care of him, had already been excluded.What's more, he also understood that even if Gao Shun had selfish intentions, he would never go to the point of murdering himself!

Zhao Jinqing laughed at himself: "I thought that he sent the phoenix jade to the palace to humiliate me and to see me lose face in front of the officials, but now I understand that the piece of jade has been kept in the imperial study. I am also diligent in looking through the booklets, always staying there, and often staying overnight at night. But I don’t know that someone has already made a plan and is waiting for me there, but it’s a pity that I have never known it.”

The old fairy seemed to have thought of something, and there was a trace of complexity in his tone: "It's...Rong Xiao?"

Zhao Jinqing nodded.

"To him, I have always been a pawn to be used. He wanted to wait for me to die inexplicably, and just took the opportunity to take the throne. If I hadn't planned a fake death escape when he was not in Beijing, and gave Gao Shun kept the imperial edict, Rong Xiao was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and he may have succeeded by now."

The old fairy said: "But, five years ago, he still didn't seize the throne...Bai Qing, I think, maybe he really has some feelings for you..."

Zhao Jinqing smiled: "Really?"

He smiled wryly and said: "I have excused him before, but after so much experience, if I really think he has feelings for me, wouldn't I be deceiving myself?" He stood up and stared at the candle on the table: "Five years ago, the entire army of Great Zhao was in the hands of Rong Xiao, and only the imperial guards in the entire capital belonged to the emperor. I also don't understand why he didn't compete with Zhao Yuan for the throne?"

"But later, I finally figured it out. When I arrived in Jiangning, I realized that he only cured the water once, and he became a virtuous king praised by everyone in Jiangning!" Zhao Jinqing said: "It's not that he doesn't want the throne, but he not only He wants power, but he also wants fame! How is Rong Xiao’s style of coming to power with a reputation for treason? He is smart and ruthless, and he wants to cause Zhao Yuan’s sudden death, or make Zhao Yuan Wouldn't it be easier to separate oneself from virtue? At that time, when he takes the throne again, others will only respect and praise him..."

The old god sighed silently: "It seems that you have thought clearly."

Zhao Jinqing felt as if his heart had been pricked by needles, and the dense needles made his viscera ache: "Yes, I finally figured it out. It's a pity that I understand it too late..."
