His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 19

Changxin Palace,
In the study, the prince and a group of staff are discussing matters.

Behind him, a black figure appeared silently, and reported the latest situation to his master in a strict manner:
"Yi Wang went to Xie's Mansion yesterday evening and returned late at night, and today he went to Zuihe Building in West Market."

After speaking, the black shadow disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

Rao has seen the superb strength of the first spy beside His Highness many times, and the staff are also shocked.

A gray-haired old man was stroking his gray beard, but there was a light shining in his cloudy old eyes: "King Yi has been very active recently..."

Another person said: "Your Majesty has given King Yi the confidence to marry Xie's daughter to King Yi."

Who doesn't know that the Xie family is a neutral family?

The concubine Xie in the palace has four princes who are both civil and military, and will be crowned in two years, but even if the prince is mediocre, the mother and son, including the Xie family in Shangjing, always abide by their duties and never participate in the seizure of the heir dispute.

And the third prince born to Concubine Li, that is, King Yi, was very intelligent and gifted since he was a child, so he never obeyed the prince, thinking that the prince just happened to be born into the queen's belly.

Although the royal family has the rules of establishing a heir and an elder, there is also the rule of establishing a virtuous one without an heir, right?
Now His Majesty has made a move that no one can understand——

The daughter of Xie's generation was given to King Yi as his concubine.

One must know that Concubine Li, the mother of King Yi, came from the Wu family, and has always had a good relationship with the Li family in Longxi. Back then, Concubine Li was able to give birth to the third prince safely, and she also had an inseparable relationship with the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty took this step, but the old man didn't quite understand it."

"Indeed, it seems unwise to tie the prince and the family together at this time."

"Perhaps His Majesty has other plans, but I can't find out..."

The crown prince sitting at the top stroked the teacup in his hand, and waited for everyone to finish their sentence before opening his mouth and saying:

"Xie Rui is a smart person. Why can't the Xie family and the Wu family get together, maybe the father just ordered a mandarin duck book at random."

What he said in the last sentence was sincere, but he also knew that others would not believe it.

A conspirator, even a trivial matter, has to be stripped away and pondered for a long time, especially when his father issued such an imperial decree at such a time, it is hard not to make people think deeply.

It was because he knew that Xie Rui belonged to his father, so he had such a bold guess.

Thinking of Xie Rui's daughter, a fluffy head with its head lowered on his chest and a pair of circling almond eyes suddenly appeared in his mind...

"That's right, the Xie family is quite safe with Xie Rui around."

"Well, Xie Rui is the emperor's companion, and he has fellowship, so you can rest assured for now, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so maybe be careful..."

"It's still Bai Lao who is thoughtful, we are ashamed of ourselves!"

"..."

A few people went over the current situation in Beijing and the various families in detail, and discussed the recent affairs of the East Palace.

Finally, His Highness the Crown Prince said in a deep voice: "Let's keep an eye on King Yi, there is nothing serious for now, but Fan Yang has to hurry up, the Dragon Boat Festival will be held in a month's time."

Thinking of the news that Fan Yang's people risked their lives half a month ago, the gentleness on the prince's face has long since disappeared, leaving only a stern look.

At that time, he will ask the Lu clan of Fan Yang to donate blood to sacrifice to heaven...

"You come here at the right time today, sit down quickly and try Bailu's new pear cake."

In April, all kinds of fruit trees, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and pear blossoms compete with each other. There is an osmanthus tree in Chen Fulin’s yard. Changting Hall is larger, but there are mostly pear and peach blossoms.

Today, Chen Fulin tangled in Jiangfuxuan for a long time, but chose to visit Changting Palace.

She had some speculations in her heart, and she was never at peace. She could only feel at ease by taking this trip. As soon as she came in, she was led to the garden behind.

But I saw Concubine Cui moved a deck chair from nowhere and sat on the edge of the small pond outside the pavilion. As soon as she saw her, she hurriedly asked her to sit down, while she set up a small table with two stacks of fresh pastries and fruit.

"Pear Blossom Cake? I've heard of it, but it's the first time I've seen it."

Chen Fulin sat on the seat that was added to her. Fortunately, it was not a reclining chair. She was not used to sitting on it, and at home, only old people like her grandmother liked it.

The pure white pastry is dotted with peach pistils in the center. It is exquisite and clear, and the small pieces make people salivate just looking at it.

Chen Fulin was also polite, twisted a piece into his mouth, and then narrowed his eyes.

Concubine Cui looked at her reaction, and asked in surprise, "What? It doesn't suit your taste?"

Does she think it's delicious?
Chen Fulin swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and then he looked intoxicated: "Well... this is too delicious!"

Concubine Cui: "...You just now, it looks like I gave you some kind of poison."

I didn't see where it was delicious at all.

Chen Fulin quickly defended: "Where? I was tempted by the delicious pastries!"

The sweetness is moderate, soft and delicious, the fragrance of pear blossoms, and the intoxication of peach pistils...

It's really delicious!

"Sister, there are such ingenious and skillful people here, I am very envious."

Unlike her, who can't start a business by herself, and often has the risk of not being able to eat, and the food is extremely unpalatable!

Concubine Cui gave her a blank look, and lay back lazily, making it clear that she didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Chen Fulin thought of his purpose of coming here, and rolled his eyes, "Sister, is the Bailu you mentioned yesterday the big maid who made the medicine for you?"

Concubine Cui didn't turn her head, she just answered her with a "hmm".

Then he thought of something, and immediately said: "Both Bailu and Luying were brought in from my house, don't try to get their ideas!"

Chen Fulin let out an "oh", and the idea that had just sprouted was stifled.

It turned out to be brought from the mansion...

The possibility that the problem is caused by the person who made the medicine seems to be much lower?

After a while, she asked again: "Sister's cold is cured? Are you still taking medicine today?"

Seeing her mentioning this, Concubine Cui couldn't help but glared at her sideways:
"Which pot is not open and which pot to lift? It's sunny today, I'm already well, what medicine do I need!"

Chen Fulin looked up at the gloomy weather, thinking how could this not match the words "clean and sunny"?
That is because there is no sun, otherwise she would not have picked this point to come here.

Seeing Concubine Cui glaring at her, Chen Fulin didn't dare to refute, and just smiled shyly: "I don't care about my sister..."

Concubine Cui: "Hmph, then I would like to thank you for your concern!"

Chen Fulin smiled at her, ate the cake silently, and stopped talking. She stared at the lotus leaves in the pond, and a few red carp jumped out of the water from time to time.

But I was thinking in my heart, Sister Cui no longer used medicine, how could she find the medicine she used...

Without evidence, she didn't dare to tell Sister Cui about it immediately.

If someone intends to harm others, wouldn't they startle the snake?

What if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry?
In her previous life, Cen Anran made her face the cruelty and blood in this imperial city for the first time, so she was cautious and timid to save her life.

And now, she is also new to the East Palace, and she is not valued by the crown prince. She knows very well how the palace will make a person disappear without a sound.

The first time she realized that Concubine Cui was in danger, she wanted to tell her about it.

But she can't afford to bet...

She tightly grasped the veil in her hand and told herself, wait a little longer.

Waiting for her to get the evidence...

Waiting for her to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince...

So she turned her head towards Concubine Cui and acted like a baby:
"Sister Cui, can I go and see how Bai Lu makes this pear cake? If Bi Luo can learn how to make it at 01:30, I will be lucky in the future!"
