Chapter 405 Chapter 404: Cooperation between Lengshuiyi and Yunranyue

At the gate of the hall, Yinling was kneeling on the ground and weeping. When she saw Yunranyue coming out, she prostrated and kowtowed, "I beg the master of the state to save my mother."

Yun Ranyue frowned slightly, and said softly, "You go back first, I will find a way to save your mother."

"Thank you, Master Guoshi," Yinling said gratefully.

As long as there is the help of the master of the state, she believes that her mother will be safe and sound.

Yun Ranyue turned around and returned to the dormitory, with a slightly gloomy face.

He knew about Leng Shuiyi's past, as well as her and Jing Yu's affairs. Back then, it was Yun Ranyue's idea to send Leng Shuiyi into the harem.

The relationship between him and Leng Shuiyi can be regarded as mutual benefit.

At the beginning, he promised Leng Shuiyi that when the dust of the overall situation settled, he would protect her from retreating. Now, before the overall situation is over, Leng Shuiyi is in trouble. She has done so much for Yun Ranyue, and Yun Ranyue also There's no reason not to help her.

The next day, early in the morning, Yun Ranyue went to court.

Emperor Hongyuan sat on the dragon chair, his face was tired, and he seemed not in good spirits. He had blocked the news about Leng Shuiyi and Jing Yu last night, and the officials in the palace didn't notice anything unusual.

Emperor Hongyuan put his hands down, and Eunuch Lin next to him nodded, unfolded the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and read aloud: "By God, the emperor ordered that the position of prince is now vacant. The fifth prince Xiao Wang is wise and brave. I am the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, I honor you."

As soon as the words fell, there was complete silence in the Golden Luan Hall, and all the officials were dumbfounded.

It seemed that no one expected that the title of crown prince would fall to this flamboyant fifth prince.

"What? There are objections from all the lovers?" Emperor Hongyuan said in a cold tone, not angry but mighty.

All the ministers bowed their heads: "I dare not."

Eunuch Lin held the imperial decree, and turned his eyes to Jing Zhanli who was still a little dazed: "His Royal Highness, please accept the decree."

Jing Zhanli came out and knelt down to accept the order: "My son, I thank my father, and I will definitely not disappoint my father's cultivation in the future."

Jing Zhanli held the imperial decree, and no joy could be seen on his solemn and handsome face. At this moment, the imperial decree in his hand made him feel like a thousand dollars.

Jing Chaoci stood among the officials, clenched his fists, and his cold eyes were unwilling.

He didn't understand why his father wanted to make Jing Zhanli the crown prince when Jing Zhanli was wandering around.

Although he knew that although Jing Zhanli was flirtatious, he was secretly ambitious, but Jing Chaoci still felt that he was not worthy of virtue.

The court meeting was dissolved, and the ministers walked out of the Golden Luan Hall one after another.

Many ministers began to whisper, and they were very puzzled that Emperor Hongyuan made Jing Zhanli the crown prince.

In terms of background and conduct, Jing Chaoci should be more suitable to be a prince than Jing Zhanli.

The king's heart is unpredictable, and the officials don't understand what Emperor Hongyuan thinks.

Jing Zhanli frowned and just stepped down a few steps, Jing Chaoci walked to his side and sneered quietly: "Congratulations to the fifth emperor brother, oh no, he is now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In the tone, there was an unconcealable unwillingness and sourness.

Jing Zhanli smiled lightly: "Thank you, Brother Second, for congratulating you. When I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely treat Brother Two kindly."

"Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, but," after a pause, Jing Chaoci's deep eyes were full of meaning, "We will see if the Crown Prince can make it to the end, don't be like our eldest brother Just like Jing Yuanzhao, he died halfway."

Is this warning him of something?

Jing Zhanli said with a slow smile: "Don't worry, Second Emperor Brother, I have a big fate, and I will definitely go to the end."

"Then we'll wait and see." With a sneer, Jing Chaoci flicked his sleeves and passed by Jing Zhanli.

Jing Zhanli's condensed eyes formed a cold light.

"His Royal Highness."

Jing Zhanli was taken aback by the cold and clear voice behind him, turned around, and gave a salute: "My lord."

"Congratulations," Yun Ranyue said lightly.

Jing Zhanli smiled and shook his head.

Yun Ranyue raised her eyebrows: "It seems that His Highness doesn't really want to sit on this dragon chair?"

"In the past, I wanted to sit, but now, I don't really want to," Jing Zhanli didn't shy away from speaking his mind.

In the past, he was ambitious and thought about the throne, but now, he suddenly felt that there was nothing good about sitting on the throne, and the annoying government affairs all day long were not free at all.

He still prefers the free and unfettered self.

Yun Ranyue lowered her eyebrows and nodded, knowing what he was thinking, and lowered her voice: "Do you know about Jing Yu?"

"Jing Yu?" Jing Zhanli's face became serious for a moment: "What happened to him?"

Yun Ranyue said softly: "He was discovered by Emperor Hongyuan that he had an affair with Concubine Leng, and he has been imprisoned now."

"What?!" Jing Zhanli frowned, unable to believe what he heard.

Jing Yu actually had an affair with the harem concubine?Jing Zhanli only felt that the five thunders were on top of him.

This kid dared to cuckold his old man.

He didn't know what kind of love-hate relationship there was between Jing Yu and Leng Shuiyi, and when the two had an affair together, Jing Zhanli didn't care about it. What he cared about now was Jing Yu's safety.

The two grew up together. After Jing Yu was made a general, he also stood in Jing Zhanli's camp. Jing Zhanli really treated him as a brother.

This matter gave Jing Zhanli a headache, and after a hasty farewell to Yun Ranyue, he left the palace with a sullen face.

When Yun Ranyue returned to Lanyue Palace, Nan Zhuohua just woke up in a daze, and Yun Ranyue hugged her in her arms.

Nan Zhuohua saw him frowning, guessed what was on his mind, and lightly brushed his cheek with a small hand: "What happened?"

Yun Ranyue sighed softly: "Emperor Hongyuan found out about Leng Shuiyi and Jing Yu."

Nan Zhuohua was slightly startled: "Have the two of them been arrested?"

"Well," Yun Ranyue responded, "I'm trying to figure out how to save them."

Nan Zhuohua didn't expect that the matter between the two would come to light so soon.

"What's the interest in cooperation between you and Sister Leng?"

She had said before that Leng Shuiyi asked him for something, and he also asked Leng Shuiyi for help.

It's a partnership between the two.

Yun Ranyue pondered: "Her previous identity was the daughter of the former right minister's mansion."

Nan Zhuohua was astonished, but he didn't expect Leng Shuiyi to have such an identity. She used to be a daughter of a famous noble family.

"Then how did she become a famous actress in the troupe?"

"It was framed by Mei Bing, and Leng's family ransacked and beheaded," Yun Ranyue said, "Back then, Leng Shuiyi was still young, and his father tried his best to send her out, so she was saved from death. Later, she fell into the street. The master of the theatrical troupe felt sorry for her and thought she had a good voice, so he took her as an apprentice and taught her how to sing."

Mei Bing is the elder brother of Empress Dowager Mei. If he hadn't framed Leng Shuiyi's father, he wouldn't be the right minister now if he hadn't framed Leng Shuiyi's father.

After Leng Shuiyi was taken in by the master of the opera troupe, she lived up to the expectations, and she had a profound knowledge in singing and became a sensational actress in the imperial capital.

Jing Yu saw her singing on the stage by chance, and was attracted by her. Later, the two looked at each other and fell in love with each other. At that time, the relationship between the two was really good. Jing Yu even fantasized about marrying her countless times. Imagine the scene of their wedding day.

But in Leng Shuiyi's heart, she has always been unable to let go of the grievances of the Leng family. She always thought that one day, she would rehabilitate the Leng family.

It happened that when Yunranyue came to Jin Dynasty, it was the first step of his plan. He knew that Emperor Hongyuan would definitely think of Qi Yunzhuo when he saw his face.

So he found Leng Shuiyi and made a deal with her. He helped her avenge her injustice in the future, and Leng Shuiyi had to enter the palace to lurk beside Emperor Hongyuan.

At Emperor Hongyuan's birthday banquet, Leng Shuiyi, a famous actress in the imperial capital, attended to sing for Emperor Hongyuan. It was also at this time that she was naturally favored by Emperor Hongyuan and became a concubine in the harem.

She has been in the harem for so many years, and has been in charge of the decoctions for Emperor Hongyuan to treat headaches. These decoctions are all made by Yun Ranyue.

And these soups are actually "fantasy," drinking can affect people's memory, Leng Shuiyi doesn't know whether these soups can really cure Hongyuan Emperor's headache, she doesn't care about these, just obey Yunranyue's order , as long as Emperor Hongyuan has a headache, give him these medicines.

Yun Ranyue also knew that she already had a lover in her heart, and Leng Shuiyi also rejected Emperor Hongyuan's touch. She had no feelings for Emperor Hongyuan at first, so Yun Ranyue gave her a medicine. When Emperor Hongyuan came to sleep with her , Let her find a way to feed this medicine to Emperor Hongyuan.

After taking this medicine, Emperor Hongyuan would fall into a coma, and then keep dreaming, in the dream, he would go to the clouds and rain with Leng Shuiyi, and when he woke up, he would not find any abnormalities. With this method, Leng Shuiyi kept his guard. Gong Sha, keep your innocence for several years.

After listening, Nan Zhuohua also understood the cooperative relationship between Leng Shuiyi and Yun Ranyue. Yun Ranyue helped the Leng family avenge, and Leng Shuiyi lurked beside Emperor Hongyuan to drug him.

The person who suffered the most among them was Jing Yu.

Back then when he was ready to marry Leng Shuiyi, she became the emperor's concubine in the blink of an eye. She didn't even say a farewell explanation. When the two met again, they were already strangers.

Even though Leng Shuiyi has become a concubine, Jing Yu has never forgotten her in his heart these years. He doesn't know why Leng Shuiyi is suddenly willing to enter the palace as a concubine, but he knows that Leng Shuiyi must have something hard to say.

He wanted to have a good talk with Leng Shuiyi several times, but every time Leng Shuiyi gave him a cold face, as if he wanted to draw a clear line with him.

But every time she sees Jing Yu, Leng Shuiyi is tortured in her heart. After several years, she still loves Jing Yu from the bottom of her heart, but she dare not approach him, because she is now a concubine, and Jing Yu is a general , or the emperor's nephew, if someone with a heart finds out that the two of them have an affair, no one can escape death.

Jing Yu pursued, Leng Shuiyi fled, and the two were torturing each other.

If Jing Yu hadn't wanted to marry Mei Ningshuang this time, Leng Shuiyi would still not be able to open her heart to Jing Yu. Although Emperor Hongyuan finally found out that they had an affair, Leng Shuiyi still had no regrets in her heart.

Sometimes when you figure it out, you have nothing to fear. The worst outcome is death.

Before the overall situation was settled, Leng Shuiyi was arrested, and no one was responsible for Emperor Hongyuan's medicine in the future, which forced Yun Ranyue to quickly close the net.

He said that the Jing family should be changed.

But Leng Shuiyi's life was also saved, and Yun Ranyue could not abandon her. Anyway, in the past few years, in order to enter the palace, she sacrificed her relationship with Jing Yu and wasted a few years of youth. Yun Ranyue has to pay back no matter what her.

Since he had promised her that he would let her escape unscathed, it must be done.

After talking about Leng Shuiyi and Jing Yu, Yun Ranyue told Nan Zhuohua about Jing Zhanli's canonization of the crown prince.

Nan Zhuohua was also a little unexpected: "Why did Emperor Hongyuan confer the position of crown prince to Jing Zhanli instead of Jing Chaoci?"

"Because the Mei family's power is too ostentatious," Yun Ranyue understood Li Chu's matter, and he said: "When Qian Yuanzhao was here, he could still restrain the Mei family. He and Jing Yuanzhao's party have all declined, leaving Jing Chaoci and the Mei family alone."

Although Jing Zhanli had the Huainan Palace behind him, it was still not as powerful as the Mei family's power.

The Mei family was a century-old nobleman, and Mei Bing was a veteran of the two dynasties. The Queen Mother Mei also sits on top of him. The foundation of the Mei family is really deep-rooted.

But the Huainan Palace is different. Junye was just a reckless back then, and the status of the Huainan Palace was achieved bit by bit. The Jun family has no background except the one hundred thousand military power in the hands of Junye. Compared with the Mei family, it also makes Hong Emperor Yuan was not afraid.

Apart from the Huainan Palace, behind Jing Zhanli is Zhong Guifei's mother's family. Zhong Guifei's mother's family is from a family in the south of the Yangtze River. Her ancestors have been merchants for generations and have never entered an official career. Apart from helping Jing Zhanli financially, other places can't help her. I'm very busy.

Now that the Mei family is too powerful, Emperor Hongyuan is still jealous after all. If Feng Jingchao resigns as the crown prince and he ascends the throne in the future, the Mei family will become a big threat.

After all, Emperor Hongyuan was still worried that the Mei family's meritorious service would overshadow the master.

The extremes of things must be reversed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline. Presumably the Mei family also understands this truth, and they have been keeping a low profile during this time, but Emperor Hongyuan has already become wary of them.

Although Emperor Hongyuan was an old man and his spirit was not getting better day by day, his mind was not muddled and he was still very shrewd.

It was late at night, and Jing Zhanli took advantage of the darkness to enter the palace, wanting to take a peek at Jing Yu.

In order not to let people know that Jing Yu and Leng Shuiyi had an affair, Emperor Hongyuan did not put Jing Yu in prison, but locked him in a palace in the palace under the guard of the dark guards, while Leng Shuiyi was sent to the cold palace .

Half an hour later, Jing Zhanli also figured out what happened between Jing Yu and Leng Shuiyi.

I have known Jing Yu since childhood, but I didn't know that he still had such a relationship.

Jing Zhanli got into the carriage and returned to the mansion.

Originally, he had been crowned prince and was going to live in the East Palace, but after Jing Yuanzhao's death, the East Palace was renovated again, and now the work is not yet completed, and Jing Zhanli can only temporarily live in Xiao Wang's Mansion.

The autumn night is lonely and cool, the night wind is bleak, the night market on the street is different from the bustle of summer, and as soon as it gets dark, those vendors start to close their stalls and go home.

At this time, the street was deserted and quiet, with only a few dim nightlights left to illuminate the way home for late returnees.

Jing Zhanli sat in the carriage, put his arms on the small table in front of him, propped his forehead and closed his eyes in meditation.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, Jing Zhanli was jolted, opened his eyes, frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Outside the car, there was a gust of cold evening wind, but no one responded.

Jing Zhan's eyes sank, he picked up the folding fan on the small table, and lifted the curtain, only to see that the coachman had died on the carriage, with a line of blood on his throat, gurgling blood.
