Chapter 351 Meeting the Eight Great Kings

After Xu Bai returned the jade pendant to Zhao Jin, he walked straight behind the screen, and soon Su Yixin could not detect his aura.

There should be some compartment behind the screen.

"Miss Su, please come here, there is something I need your help with."

"Go ahead."

Since Gu Qingjue specifically explained it in his letter, then this matter must not be an ordinary matter.

According to the relationship between Zhao Jin and Gu Qingjue, as long as she can help, she will not take Joe, and let Zhao Jin talk about things happily.

"The Eight Great Kings are ill."

Zhao Jin's tone was dignified, not gloating.

Su Yixin knew that the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan had a very high prestige in the court, especially in the past few years, there were a lot of people who secretly supported the Eighth King because they were heavily used by the officials.

Why this situation.

This starts with the death of the second prince of the official family.

In February of the first year of Qingli, that is, on March 24, 36, the second prince of the official family died of a serious illness. So far, the official family is still childless at the age of [-].

At this age, once the prince dies, all forces are ready to move.

Even now there is still a prince in the palace.

This prince was born in September last year, and he is only half a year old now. The first two princes died at birth, and one died at three years old. It is said that their health is not good, and whether they can grow up is a problem.

But today's officials are already 36.

If this prince had an accident, the royal family would have their blood cut off.

It was also said that the Eight Great Kings were seriously ill, which aroused the prying eyes of various forces, because when the Empress Dowager Liu E was still alive, she had taken Ding Wang, the son of the Eight Great Kings, Zhao Yunliang, into the palace and trained him as a prince for a period of time.

Later, due to official reasons, he didn't like this cousin very much, so Zhao Yunliang seldom came to the palace for fear of being jealous.

But the heirs of the royal family are withered, even if he doesn't go to the palace, he still can't resist the courtiers' continued posting.

However, the voice of another descendant of the Zhao family is also very high, that is, the child who was raised under the knees of Empress Cao since he was a child. He came to the palace when he was only three years old before the second prince Zhao Xin was born. The official family adopted him as an adopted son and gave him the name Zongshi.

Originally thought that he would be able to become a prince smoothly, but within a few years, after the birth of the prince Zhao Xin, the third son of the official family, Zhao Xi, was born.

He was sent back to his biological father Zhao Yunrang.

This former adopted son of the official family was gradually forgotten.

Who is Zhao Yunrang?
He is the third son of Song Zhenzong's fourth son Shang Gongjing Wang Zhao Yuanfen, and he is a cousin of Zhao Yunliang who was taken into the palace to be raised.

Their fathers, one is Xingsi and the other is Xingba.

Now, Zhao Zongshi has just turned ten years old, but because he was also raised in the palace, many people are staring at him now that the official family has no children.

"He is ill, is it true that the court has brought up the matter of establishing a reserve again?"

Zhao Jin nodded: "The prince is not in good health now, and the courtiers have written a letter to ask the officials to train the heir early."

Su Yixin: "..."

Some ministers really dare to say it.

There is still a prince in the official family, and he even mentioned the matter of the heir. Isn't this clearly poking the official's heart.

"Didn't the officials send out those ministers who proposed?"

"How to deal with it, they are just suggestions, and they didn't force the officials to choose one as the prince to train now, and the officials have always been benevolent, saying that there is a prince in the palace, so they dismissed the matter like this."

Yes, this Emperor Renzong is famous for his benevolence in history.

"What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Jin said: "Follow me to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to see his condition."

The Eight Great Kings were seriously ill, and there were famous imperial doctors standing in front of them. The skills of those imperial doctors were much higher than hers. Zhao Jin must know this, and if she was asked to go, it would be suspicious of the Eight Great Kings' illnesses.

From Gu Qingjue's usual conversations, Su Yixin knew that Zhao Jin actually belonged to the opposite faction with the Eight Kings Party.

Now, the Eight Great Kings are seriously ill, they should be happy to see him succeed.

But I didn't expect to care about the Eight Great Kings so much.

Because of this, Su Yixin's favorability towards Zhao Jin increased a lot.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

I thought it would be good to let her rest for the night, but after Su Yixin agreed, Xu Bai who had just left appeared again, this time directly leading the two of them behind the screen that had just disappeared.

Behind the screen is a huge circular wooden bed with pink curtains and tassels hanging from the top, which is indescribably ambiguous.

This should be Xu Bai's bed.

Sure enough, it's annoying enough.

Xu Bai pressed his hand on a place in front of the bed, because it was covered by his body, Su Yixin didn't know where Xu Bai pressed it.

After pressing, he lifted the quilt on the bed, revealing a step that can accommodate one person. Zhao Jin lifted his robe, took out a night pearl the size of a pigeon egg from his chest, and walked down first.

Su Yixin also took out a pink night pearl from the storage bag and followed behind.

Xu Bai didn't follow, and Qinlian and Su Yixin didn't let her follow either.

Since they entered and exited through the secret passage, their going to the Eight Great Princes' Mansion must be kept secret. Xu Bai stayed in the room as a cover, and Qin Lian, who accompanied her into the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion, had to guard outside the door. Only reasonable.

Coming out of the secret road is the backyard of a house, and the exit is a rockery.

Su Yixin's eyesight is excellent, and she can tell that the rockery pond in the backyard is well-arranged, and it is the backyard of a big family.

But at this time, except for a few black-clothed guards guarding the artificial mountain pass, there was no light in the backyard at all.

Zhao Jin did not introduce, and Su Yixin did not ask.

Mo Mo followed Zhao Jin all the way, and after half an hour, he came to the back door of the Eight Great Wangs' house.

Zhao Jin knocked on the door lightly, and after a while, a man dressed as a guard opened the door.

Before entering the door, Zhao Jin covered his face with a black scarf, and Su Yixin covered it with the energy of the five elements. After entering, the man dressed as a guard quickly shuttled through the corridor, and soon stopped in a secluded courtyard.

Just when Su Yixin wondered if this man was arranged by Zhao Jin to work in the eight palaces, the man had already knocked on the door.

A maidservant in her twenties opened the door and led people into the room without saying a word.

From the outside, the yard is very secluded and secluded. There are many bamboos living in the yard. When they first came in, they saw a lot in the backyard. Because the bamboos are very tall, they can see the tops of the bamboos in the yard.

However, when I entered, I found that the room was very large, and the decoration was extremely thoughtful and luxurious. There were chairs made of high-quality wood on both sides, four on the left and four on the left, a total of eight chairs, corresponding to the Eight Kings.

Looking forward, there is a huge screen with eight leaves, each with a different pattern, all made of high-quality golden nanmu, which can be folded.
