Qin Junzhuo was not afraid at first.

But what Yun Xi and Zai Yuxuan did to Concubine Hui today really made him feel nervous.

The little eunuch walking from a distance bowed politely and then walked away again.

After hearing this, Qin Junzhuo stared at that beautiful face, feeling that the warm sunset in the sky reflected in her phoenix eyes as if they were stained with blood, which was so terrifying that people dared not look directly at her.

The gentleness on his face had long since disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Yun Xihe, aren't you standing here properly?!"

Yun Xihe lowered his eyes and smiled, and said coolly,

"What did the third prince say? Aren't you standing here well? Oh, and Concubine Hui will return to normal soon. What are you worried about?"

Qin Junzhuo opened his mouth, but was speechless under the indifferent gaze. The sullenness in his eyes gradually turned into fear.

"I just don't know. Is my cousin, who has always been lively and innocent, the fear and despair she endured when she was kidnapped by thieves and her life was threatened for a night, half as much as you do now?"

"And my maid, Xiaomei, who lost her left arm... Your Highness, Third Prince, when you ordered someone to kill me, were you only thinking about your own ambition to win the heir apparent?"

"Then I will disappoint you." Yun Xihe's tone was gentle and pitiful, as if God loves the world with compassion.

"Have you forgotten, Third Prince? You have the blood of a foreign race in your body. You must keep this in mind. Of course, not only you, but everyone in the He Palace will remember it in the future."

Qin Junzhuo looked stern, "What do you mean?"

Yun Xihe said softly,

"The Prince of Shazhou County understood that Concubine Hui had worked hard to serve the emperor, so he took advantage of the talent show to send several beauties to Dashun. They were all young and beautiful and good at singing and dancing.

I believe that by then, even if Concubine Hui is not around, the beauties will be able to make the emperor happy every day and ensure peace for your Shazhou forever."

A gust of wind blew and the willow branches fluttered lightly.

Qin Junzhuo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, "Did you arrange it?"

It was already dinner time, and more and more palace maids and eunuchs came and went.

"Of course it's me." Yun Xihe admitted very frankly. He also added with some waning interest, "I heard that the Chu Xiu Palace has been decorated. In three to five days, the show ladies should move in.

Already."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards Cining Palace.

"wait!"

Qin Junzhuo struggled for a moment, spoke hurriedly, and stopped Yun Xihe in his tracks.

Yun Xihe paused for a moment and asked without looking back, "What else does the Third Prince want?"

Qin Junzhuo's figure swayed, and he reached out to support the willow tree beside him. After just saying a few words, the defense line in his heart had been completely broken.

His thoughts were racing for a moment, but he felt that all his ways out were blocked.

He wanted to continue to hide his power and bide his time, but the beautiful girl was about to enter the palace, and he was already too late! As Yun Xihe said, if the Shazhou woman is in the harem, everyone will remember Concubine Hui's origin, and Qin Junzhuo will only become more and more distant from his position.

Far!

Even if he overthrows the crown prince and the third prince in the future, the emperor will not consider making him the crown prince.

But what if... we rise up now?

Qin Junzhuo's eyes were filled with crazy heat.

Yun Xihe's voice sounded faintly,

"Third prince, please don't think the wrong way. Our Yun family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, and we have ensured that the country will be peaceful forever. If there are those dishonest and rebellious ministers and thieves, what will happen to them? I don't need to say more, right?"

Qin Junzhuo felt like a basin of cold water was poured down his head, and he reluctantly said, "Miss Yun, you are joking."

Yun Xihe turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, "I never joke with others."

The despair in Qin Junzhuo's eyes turned into pleading. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. If someone hadn't passed by at any time, he would really kneel down to Yun Xihe and beg her to spare his life!

Yun Xi and Feng's eyes raised slightly: "You want me to spare you and Concubine Hui's lives?"

Qin Junzhuo's hand holding the willow tree gradually clenched into a fist, and the heroic aura of his Shazhou bloodline bent his waist.

Yun Xihe Youran smiled and said: "Okay. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its own owner. If you pay off the debt, I will not look for Concubine Hui again. Cut off your own arm and pay it to my maid. Then you can invite yourself to guard the emperor."

Ling, make up for my cousin’s fear and despair all night long.”

Qin Junzhuo stared at her.

Yun Xihe met his gaze and said calmly, "I'll do it if I promise. I won't force you if you don't agree. It's getting late, and I have to deliver medicine to the Queen Mother, so I'll take my leave first."

Qin Junzhuo nodded bitterly without waiting for her to turn around.

He understands the current situation, and now that he has agreed, at least he knows how he was defeated. If he had not agreed, he would have died without knowing how.

Yun Xihe's smile became much more sincere, "My maiden, I am waiting for the good news."

After saying that, she walked towards Cining Palace without further delay.

She was not afraid of anyone seeing what happened today.

No matter who asked, it was the Third Prince who was worried about Concubine Hui's health. This act of motherly kindness and sonly filial piety was truly touching.

In the end, Qin Junzhuo had no choice but to leave the palace. After leaving the palace, he fell from his horse in the street because it was dark and the road was slippery, and he was distracted. He was accidentally trampled on and broke an arm, so he called the imperial doctor overnight.

The next day, when the emperor had just left the court, he asked people to carry him into the palace again, claiming that he had failed in his moral conduct and that God was blaming the mother and son. In order to avoid disaster, he asked himself to guard the imperial mausoleum and pray for his mother, concubine and Dashun.

What else could the emperor say? Of course he was very moved and asked someone to draw up an imperial edict, conferring the title of Prince Rui on the third prince with broken arms, and then ordered someone to send him to the imperial mausoleum.

Yun Xihe did not break his promise. He led the maids and eunuchs to dig up a large area of ​​carp grass from Concubine Hui's Palace and planted it in Cining Palace. He never went to Zhaiyu Pavilion again.

From beginning to end, Empress Dowager Jiang said nothing.

Aunt Gui beside her seemed a little puzzled. When she was waiting for the Queen Mother to fall asleep at night, she seemed to say casually, "I heard that the Third Prince had a long conversation with Miss Yun outside Cining Palace yesterday."

Empress Dowager Jiang yawned, "Xi He is a pretty good girl, with kindness and means. The Ai family also knows more or less about her grudges with Jun Zhuo. It can only be said that it was him who ended up in such a fate.

I fall short of the mark and my skills are not as good as others."

Aunt Gui sighed, "It's a pity for the Third Prince."

Queen Mother Jiang snorted softly,

"What's a pity for him? With his status, he will be crowned king sooner or later, but now he has a good reputation. On the other hand, Xihe, it would be a pity if he cannot sit on the position of queen in the future."

Aunt Gui suddenly realized: "The Queen Mother has the foresight to start training the master of the harem now! From now on, you will no longer have to worry about the trivial matters of the harem!"

Queen Mother Jiang opened her eyes, looked at her sideways, and asked, "Looking at the time, it's time for the prince to come back from Jiangnan? The Ai family hasn't seen him for a while."
