"The nightmare poison in the young lady's body was obtained by a servant after knowing that His Majesty was suspicious, and the people who assassinated Your Majesty were the remnants of the Murong family. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just ask Divine Doctor Xue who treated the young lady."
Qian'er continued to kowtow desperately, creating the illusion that she could not live without the seller. "Your Majesty, Qian'er will never give up, but when the young lady became more and more aggressive and got rid of the child in the princess's belly, Qian'er knew that the young lady was crazy.
... She knew that Princess Chaoyang would die without the Dragon Blood Fruit, but she deliberately took the poison of nightmare and asked His Majesty to choose between her and Princess Chaoyang..."
Xiao Junze's fingers were clenched until they were numb.
It's not like he didn't doubt...
He has always doubted.
But he didn't want to admit it himself.
"Thorough investigation..."
…
On the day the late emperor passed away, Chaoyang was in coma.
The moment he watched Chaoyang fall, his heart seemed to be pinched in someone's hand.
At that moment, Xiao Junze actually knew that he also had a weakness.
But he didn't want to admit it.
He even thought about killing the unconscious Chaoyang himself to prove that he had no weaknesses and was invulnerable.
But the reality was cruel, and he did not take action after all.
But he still deceived himself and used the excuse that Chaoyang would not die yet...
That night, Mu Huaichen came to see him and asked him if he could send Chaoyang away as soon as possible.
Because no matter whether Chaoyang falsely conveyed the imperial edict or not, Emperor Long would never let her live.
Emperor Long didn't see anyone before his death, but he only saw Chaoyang. This was sending a message that after his death... Chaoyang could not live.
Mu Huaichen begged him to immediately declare Princess Chaoyang dead of illness, visit Chen Cang secretly, and send Chaoyang away.
But he refused...
That night, Mu Huaichen asked Xiao Junze a question. "In the summer resort, would you love any woman who saved you?"
Mu Huaichen was insinuating Xiao Junze, and it was hard to distinguish between gratitude and affection.
But Xiao Junze retorted. "You are not a fish, you know how a fish feels!"
During those few days of hiding in the summer resort, even in the darkness, he knew that the woman he was taking care of was sincere to him...
"Your Highness..." On that day, Mu Huaichen knelt in front of Xiao Junze and bowed in the manner of a monarch and a minister. "Tomorrow, you will be His Majesty, and you will no longer be... Huaichen's childhood playmate and brother."
Since when did Xiao Junze change?
Mu Huaichen just felt sorry for Xiao Junze. From a gentle and thrifty young man, after the murder of Queen Changsun, he grew up overnight into a thoughtful prince who did not dare to trust others easily.
From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Junze is still kind-hearted, otherwise... why would he deceive himself in such pain.
Because only by deceiving himself and others can his conscience feel better and he can feel more relaxed.
…
That night.
Chaoyang had already fallen asleep in Qingshan Pavilion, and Xiao Junze broke into the inner hall alone.
"Your Majesty..." Chaoyang stood up and saluted, frowning slightly.
Xiao Junze drank alcohol and smelled heavily.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, you still..."
"There was turmoil at the border, and Yu's troops trampled on the homeless tribes outside Fengtian Pass..." The moment Xiao Junze received the news, he was filled with anger.
He knew that this was Di Xin warning him.
Warn him...if he doesn't hand over Chaoyang obediently, he will go to war with Fengtian.
Chaoyang's heart trembled, fearing that Xiao Junze would be angry with him.
"Are you secretly happy? Huh?" Xiao Junze was uncharacteristically calm, instead of expressing his anger.
"The emperor of Dayu is not willing to make an enemy of Fengtian for you..." Xiao Junze smiled, pulled Chaoyang in front of him, and gently raised her chin. "I will not let you go!"
Xiao Junze is still arrogant.
If in the end, he had to give up the rising sun for the sake of the world...
"Let me hear it, do you have a plan for Chaoyang?" Xiao Junze leaned on the bed behind him, his voice lazily.
"As an emperor, your majesty needs to change the yin and yang, open and close the four seasons, and transform all things." Chaoyang advised Xiao Junze to have great wisdom. "The top priority is to get rid of Prince Yu's rebellion, deter the three armies, and frighten the court."
"Chaoyang has a plan, but I don't know if His Majesty is willing to part with it."
The incense burner in the room was still burning, and Xiao Junze felt a severe headache.
"Say..." Xiao Junze closed his eyes and ordered Chaoyang, "Rub your temples for me."
Chaoyang gritted his teeth and raised his hand to rub Xiao Junze's head.
Xiao Junze raised the corner of his mouth and massaged it with Chaoyang's slender, cold fingers. The pain seemed to be relieved a lot.
"Expand your doting on Murong Ling, relax the vigilance of the Murong family's informants in Kyoto, and let out the informants who have been caught in the Shenxing Division..." Chaoyang probed in a calm voice, fearing that Xiao Junze would be angry with her for using Murong Ling. "God wants to give way.
To kill him, we must first make him crazy, let the Murong family be more arrogant in Kyoto, and it is best to make the officials angry."
"Continue..." But Xiao Junze didn't get angry, and instead let Chaoyang continue.
Chaoyang was silent for a moment, then leaned into Xiao Junze's ear and spoke softly.
Walls have ears, even in this deep palace.
Xiao Junze slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and hooked Chaoyang's neck, pulling him to the bed.
"Xiao Junze!" Chaoyang secretly annoyed Xiao Junze for crossing the river and destroying the bridge.
"Don't move... do everything as you say, let me hold you for a while..." Xiao Junze took a deep breath, his throat feeling a little hot.
There is something wrong with the incense burner in the Chaoyang room.
"Don't struggle..." When Chaoyang refused, Xiao Junze coaxed him with all his strength. "I won't touch you."
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, so it might be inappropriate for you to stay at Qingshan Pavilion." Chaoyang said nervously.
But behind him, Xiao Junze fell into a deep sleep.
Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has never had a good night's sleep.
He admitted that he was greedy for Chaoyang's body...
But here in Chaoyang, he actually fell asleep without any precautions.
"Your Majesty?" Chaoyang called tentatively.
After making sure that Xiao Junze had fallen asleep, Chaoyang slowly got up and walked out of the hall.
"Princess." Chunlan was waiting outside the door and spoke in a low voice. "In accordance with your instructions, I said those words when I met Qian'er in the imperial dining room today."
When Chaoyang asked Chunlan to get lunch, he deliberately waited for Qian'er and asked her to talk to the other maids, saying that the harem was a dummy and the queen intended to dedicate her maids to His Majesty to warm his bed, just in case she accidentally cheated him one day.
Master, isn't that a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven?
The news of Your Majesty's dismissal of Xiu Nu spreads in the palace, and there are many people who want to fly to the branches and become phoenixes.
"Princess, are you sure Qian'er will take the bait?" Chunlan was a little afraid that Qian'er wouldn't take the bait.
"The desire in her eyes is deeper than anyone else's." Chaoyang looked back at the inner hall and smiled. "Especially the look in His Majesty's eyes. A maid, but affectionate and full of desire. She must be better than anyone else."
Everyone has to be anxious..."
Climb onto the dragon bed.
Of course, her low status was not enough to attract Xiao Junze's attention.
What's more, she is still the maid next to Murong Ling, and Murong Ling will cover up her grace and glory.
Therefore, if she wants to rise to the top, she will inevitably step on her master...
Murong Ling is just a fool. She must have been able to survive to this day because of the help of a smart person.
This Qian'er is very smart.
"Go to the imperial dining room and ask someone to prepare sobering soup. I'll tell you that your majesty is drunk and stay in Qingshan Pavilion, and ask the people in the imperial dining room to keep quiet..." Chaoyang signaled Chunlan to do it.
The less public it is, the more incredible the rumors in the palace become.
She wanted to make Murong Ling lose her temper.
…
Sitting in the courtyard listening to the chirping of insects, summer is coming...
She not only wants to use the Murong family to get rid of Xiao Chengen, but also uses Xiao Junze to deal with Murong Ling.
This was the retribution Murong Ling deserved for killing the child in her belly.
Now, relying on her temporary status of being unable to die, she can finally slowly fight back.
As long as she doesn't die, she must leave Fengtian alive.
