The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 326 Night Falls The Battle of the Crown Prince

Ying'er's face suddenly turned purple, and she murmured: "Your Majesty knows that slaves are born idiots, but Madam, don't worry, although Ying'er's brain is not flexible, her mouth is the most serious."

Hearing what she said, Xue Baochai reluctantly let go of her coldness: "These are a few truths. If you hadn't been with me for the longest time and your heart was the same, I wouldn't have kept you by my side for many years. Anyway, I want you to understand That's good, so as not to do bad things with good intentions in the future."

Xue Baochai turned her head and leaned over to look at Xiaozong who was in a coma, carefully tucked up Xiaozong's quilt, and then took out the palace handkerchief in his cuff and gently wiped the other's forehead, then slowly led Ying'er into the next door for people to rest the small hall.

"Long Live God trusts me, and the fourth imperial decree is a token that can only be taken out in case of emergency. But now that Li Jing's succession is justified, not only can I not take out the things, but I have to pretend not to know. Otherwise," Xue Baochai said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, if something goes wrong with Long Live, what I hide is not a treasure, but a life-threatening knife. You are a member of this palace, and when this palace is in trouble, it will be difficult for you to protect yourself. "

Xue Baochai intends to scare Yinger at this time, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case
Let's say that at this time Zhengde was under house arrest by Li Jing in the ancestral temple. Without Li Jing's handwriting, people outside could not enter and people inside could not get out.Three meals a day are delicious, but it's a pity that Zhengde's mind is not here, so he can't taste the taste at all.

My sister's due date is just around the corner, and he has no news and is almost dying of panic.Li Jing's sudden action caught Zhengde by surprise, and he didn't know if the Supreme Emperor knew his current situation.

Although Zhengde's heart is chaotic, his movements are as calm as an old monk's meditation. Under the portraits of the ancestors of the past, there are bright yellow futons.

Xiang Hai, who gently pushed the door open, was followed by a little eunuch carrying a food box.Seeing the fifth prince's appearance, the former felt a little unbearable when he saw the breakfast on the table next to the door intact.

Xiang Hai took two steps forward hesitantly: "Although Your Highness is concerned about the emperor's safety, he has to eat this meal. Otherwise, if the emperor knows that the fifth prince has ruined his body like this, he will feel very sad."

The little eunuch is a member of Li Jing, and when he heard Xiang Hai's persuasion, he smiled maliciously and said: "What Mr. Xiang said is very true, the fifth prince has a golden body, so if he starves out after a few meals, it will be good or bad for us to go out. It’s hard to explain to the master. The servant tried to persuade His Royal Highness the fifth prince to eat something. There was a disaster a year ago, and many people died of starvation outside the city. Let alone the imperial rice, even white porridge is unpalatable. Your Highness, please don’t Being in the midst of blessings does not know blessings. It is small to waste food, but it is great to lose good fortune.”

Xiang Hai didn't speak anymore, he just cupped his hands at Zhengde's back, glared at the little eunuch, turned and left the hall.The little eunuch was not in a hurry, he listened attentively to the movement, guessed that Xiang Hai had probably gone far, and immediately took the opportunity of delivering the food box to get close to Zhengde.

"Your Highness, forgive me, it was just because of the slave's compulsion." The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Sister Zhuan'er asked the slave to tell His Highness that the third young mistress gave birth to a big fat boy, and the mother and child are safe."

Zhengde suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Buddha bless you", he quickly turned around and asked: "Does my sister know about my situation in the palace?"

The little eunuch smiled wryly: "The news inside and outside is different now. The second prince asked the Imperial Forest Army to control the entrance and exit of the palace. Even the adults have to go through many checkpoints to see him. He even used the governor of the Zhuozhou camp to guard His Highness, trying to leak from the inside. The news is almost impossible. However.” The little eunuch thought of the news that he had tried everything possible to inquire, and hurriedly said: “It is said that Mr. Song of the Zhenfu Division is guarding outside the emperor’s palace. If His Highness has something important, the servant is willing to Take a chance."

Hearing this, Zhengde couldn't help but re-evaluate the fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch in front of him.

This person was familiar, he was a very favored little eunuch next to Li Jing, and he often walked around with him years ago.

"What's your relationship with Zhuan'er?"

"It's normal for His Highness to be suspicious of slaves, but I can only say that Sister Zhuan'er saved my life back then. Your Highness is Sister Zhuan'er's master, and this slave is willing to put his heart and soul to shame for His Highness."

The sound of footsteps gradually sounded outside the door, and the little eunuch hurriedly took a few big steps back to distance himself from Zhengde. Before he could calm down after finishing the work, the door was already wide open.

Li Jing was dressed in a princely attire, and walked into the hall full of elegance.He didn't even look at Zhengde, but knelt down in front of the portrait and kowtow respectfully to his ancestors.

The little eunuch glanced at Zhengde in surprise and fear, seeing that the fifth prince was calm and composed, he calmed down a little.

"Fifth brother has been wronged for a while," Li Jing stood up slowly and said with a smile, "Now that the court is getting more and more stable, this king wants to ask fifth brother to come out of the mountain and help me take care of the world together."

Zhengde smiled humbly: "It is enough for the court to have the second brother, and the younger brother is still free to serve the father."

The little eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Who doesn't know that the Fifth Prince is capable of serving people all over his body! At the time when the Supreme Emperor was so seriously ill, if the Fifth Prince didn't take care of him in clothes, how could he be safe today?"

Li Jing turned around and slapped his hand, "You bastard, how can you speak in front of your ancestors? A cheap seed should know his identity if he was born in someone's stomach. You can reach the sky in one step and think about things you shouldn't think about."

This is Li Jing, known as the virtuous king, but at this moment, it seems that he has the most bitter heart.

Zhengde finally understood the nature of this person, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Erhuang, why bother to ridicule my younger brother? But fortunately, I know how to read people's eyes best. Since the imperial edict establishes Brother Erhuang as the crown prince, my younger brother must definitely Loyal to assist, do not give birth to two hearts."

"Is this true?" Of course Li Jing hoped to succeed to the throne in a legitimate way, even if Li Hong wanted to delay the army so that he could find another job in the future, then he might be able to secure the throne.

Zhengde said: "My brother is willing to express his determination in person with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. If we go against this statement," he paused, half turned and knelt on the ground, pointing to dozens of portraits of ancestors on the wall: "Please ask the ancestors to be my brother's witnesses." If you say this, you will definitely suffer from the pain of thousands of arrows piercing your heart."

Li Jing slowly burst into a smile, raised his hand and pulled Zhengde up: "How can the emperor not believe in brotherhood? This is because our brothers are unlucky. If you were born in the palace since childhood, you and I can often Get close. Unlike today, this king wants to get close to you, but the fifth younger brother always avoids this king."

Zhengde looked grateful: "The second emperor brother has worked so hard on this subject, but this subject has never realized it before, this subject deserves to die!" Zhengde was afraid to hit his own head with his hand when he said that, Li Jing hurriedly pulled it away with a smile: "Forget it, it's not too late for you to understand this king's intentions now. Let me go with this king to greet Grandpa Huang, and say your words to Grandpa Huang again, so that you and I can feel at ease!"
