He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Inside the house, Shen Wan heard that Yin Shuang had changed the abortion pills, and her head felt buzzing.

Yin Shuang saw it and said, "Did this servant do something wrong?"

Shen Wan said, "There's nothing wrong with saving people."

But it can be better.

Queen Song's personal maid bought abortion drugs with the intention of harming people. As long as someone is sent to keep a close eye on her, Queen Song will be caught in the act and removed from her position as queen.

I replaced the abortion pill with the pregnancy-maintaining pill, and such a good opportunity slipped away right before my eyes.

Shen Wan felt very sorry, but she didn't know that it was this packet of pregnancy-preserving medicine that not only pulled Queen Song down from the position of queen, but also directly sent her to her death.

Shen Wan went to the study to look for Xie Jingyan. Just as she entered the study, a secret guard jumped in through the window and reported to Xie Jingyan, "Master, Prince Jin'an left a letter and left the capital..."

Xie Jingyin left Beijing?

Shen Wan frowned.

Xie Jingyan asked, "What is your reason for leaving Beijing?"

The secret guard replied, "He said that he was possessed by a ghost and plotted to murder the eldest prince. He committed a serious crime and went to find the Xiliang Crown Prince who fell off a cliff after being assassinated, so as to atone for his crime."

Xie Jingyan laughed when he heard this.

Substituting merit for crime?

The local officials are looking for the Prince of Xiliang, and the emperor has also sent people to look for the Prince of Xiliang, so Xie Jingyin is no exception.

Even if Xie Jingyin really found the Crown Prince of Xiliang, this achievement could not offset the crime of murdering the eldest prince.

What's more, it was most likely King Cheng who was behind the trouble that happened to the Crown Prince of Xiliang. When Xie Jingyin went to find the Crown Prince of Xiliang, Xie Jingyan really doubted whether he was going to rescue him or to stab him in the back.

However, Xie Jingyan knew that looking for the Prince of Xiliang was just an excuse Xie Jingyin made for himself to leave the capital.

Knowing that Prince Cheng had a hidden illness, Xie Jingyan understood why the Queen Mother wanted to use the golden medal of immunity from death to save Xie Jingyin's life.

Although the condition of Prince Cheng has improved significantly, no one knows whether the disease will relapse one day. The Queen Mother does not dare to place all her hopes of continuing the family line on Prince Cheng. In order to ensure that Prince Cheng will not be without descendants, she spared Xie Jingyin's life.

Queen Song and Prince Cheng had an affair and cuckolded the Emperor. The Queen Mother even punished Prince Cheng with forty strokes of the cane, let alone Queen Song. As long as Queen Song lived, her affair with Prince Cheng would be exposed one day. The Queen Mother dared not tell the Emperor about this, but she would also protect the Emperor's dignity.

Now that Prince Cheng's hidden illness has been cured, Concubine Zhao is pregnant. If Concubine Zhao can get pregnant, then Concubine Li can naturally do the same. As long as Prince Cheng is willing, having eight or ten children is no problem. Will the Queen Mother still care about Xie Jingyin's life or death?

Because of Xie Jingyin, the eldest prince and the queen mother became estranged. The queen mother fell ill, and the eldest prince, who was able to go to the execution ground to watch the execution, has never entered the palace to visit the queen mother.

Xie Jingyin left the capital to seek redemption from his sins by the Crown Prince of Xiliang, which was a lie; his real purpose was to avoid the Queen Mother's pursuit.

The secret guard said, "These days, those who supported the King of Jin have switched to the First Prince. Every day, many ministers bring valuable gifts to the King of Qin's mansion to visit the First Prince."

This is expected and not surprising.

Xie Jingyin's situation is hopeless, and he no longer has the possibility to compete for the crown prince position. Right now, the one who has the best hope of being made the crown prince is the eldest prince. The ministers who used to help Xie Jingyin fight against the eldest prince are trembling with fear. If they don't quickly go to the eldest prince's house to apologize and curry favor with him, the eldest prince might really take the throne and then settle scores with him. No one can bear it.

However, in addition to those who defected to the eldest prince, there were also several others who resigned from their posts.

Although the eldest prince has the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince right now, Prince Ling also has many powerful officials supporting him in the court. In terms of power, he is even more powerful than the eldest prince.

They had already chosen the wrong side once, and this time it was fortunate that the Queen Mother used the golden medal of immunity from death to save the life of Prince Jin, so Duke Mao and the eldest prince did not take advantage of the situation and hold them, the Prince Jin's followers, accountable.

I got through this time without any major problems, but what if I end up on the wrong side again...

OK.

They were already psychologically traumatized after just one incident. They wanted wealth and glory, but if they lost their lives, everything would be in vain.

As long as you are in the court, as long as you are involved in the fight for the throne, your head will be on the verge of collapse. As long as you don't gamble, you won't lose.

Let's talk about the matter of Xie Jingyin leaving the capital after leaving a letter. Although he was demoted and his fiefdom was confiscated, Xie Jingyin was still a prince after all and was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict. However, he left the capital under the pretext of looking for the Crown Prince of Xiliang to atone for his sins. His excuse was so good that the censor didn't know where to start when he wanted to impeach him. After all, no one is perfect, and it is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve upon them.

Furthermore, Xie Jingyin plotted to murder the eldest prince and almost killed the eldest prince whom the empress dowager wholeheartedly supported. The empress dowager even took out the golden medal of immunity from death given to her by the late emperor to save Xie Jingyin's life. Up to now, no one knows why the empress dowager did this. The people of the eldest prince's party did not dare to add insult to injury and kept silent about Xie Jingyin's unauthorized departure from Beijing.

No one even mentioned the matter, and the emperor did not impose any punishment. The person had been away from the capital for two or three days, and the punishment had to be done in person. If Xie Jingyin really found the Prince of Xiliang, the emperor would not pursue his crime of leaving the capital without permission. But if he couldn't find the person, the emperor would definitely punish him severely.

Therefore, Xie Jingyin's departure from the capital did not cause any splash in the court. It was very calm as if nothing had happened.

The results of the autumn examination were announced, and three days later, the palace examination took place.

The palace examination lasts only one day, with one day for testing and one day for marking. The ten best papers are presented to the emperor for review, and the emperor decides the first class and selects the top three.

This morning, Xie Jingyan accompanied Shen Wan to appreciate the chrysanthemums in the garden. They were just chatting and laughing when Dong'er came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor summoned you to the palace."

Shen Wan looked up at the sky.

At this time, the emperor should be looking at the test papers, so why is he asking Xie Jingyan to come to the palace?

Xie Jingyan also found it strange. Shen Wan said, "Father is looking for you now, either to decide the first place or for something more important than the autumn examination. You should go to the palace quickly."

Xie Jingyan said, "I'm going to the palace. You should go back and rest early. Don't tire yourself out."

Shen Wan nodded, and Xie Jingyan left.

Xie Jingyan thought that the emperor was only looking for him, but after entering the palace, he ran into the eldest prince at the horse racing field.

During the days when the eldest prince was recuperating in Prince Ling's Mansion, they saw each other almost every day. This was the first time Xie Jingyan had seen the eldest prince since he moved back to his own palace. The eldest prince's complexion was no longer as pale as when he was in Prince Ling's Mansion. His complexion was rosy, which showed that he had fully recovered.

When he saw Xie Jingyan, the eldest prince took the initiative to greet him, "Sixth brother."

Xie Jingyan asked, "The eldest prince is waiting for me here?"

The eldest prince...

This title seems strange in front of the Sixth Prince.

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and said, "I am indeed waiting for you."

Xie Jingyan asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The eldest prince rode his horse and took two steps towards Xie Jingyan, saying, "Sixth brother, do you know why the Queen Mother used the golden medal of immunity from death to save the life of Prince Jin?"

Xie Jingyan didn't expect that the eldest prince was waiting for him to ask him about this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you go to the palace to see the Queen Mother yesterday? Didn't you ask the Queen Mother?"

The eldest prince sighed, "The Queen Mother didn't allow my father to ask, so how dare I ask?"

Xie Jingyan smiled, "Does the eldest prince think I would know?"

The eldest prince said, "I hope Sixth Brother will tell me."

Logically, Xie Jingyan shouldn't know, but he just felt that Xie Jingyan knew, and this feeling was very strange.

Xie Jingyan raised his lips slightly and said, "The Queen Mother allowed you to send people to hunt down Prince Jin, so why bother digging into the matter?"

The eldest prince was shocked, "How...how did you know?"

The eldest prince looked shocked.

How did Prince Ling guess that the Queen Mother allowed him to send someone to kill Xie Jingyin?

Xie Jingyan said, "Since you can ask me so calmly, you must not mind the Queen Mother saving Prince Jin."

Xie Jingyan guessed that the Queen Mother would send someone to kill Xie Jingyin, based on the fact that Prince Cheng and Queen Song had an affair and Xie Jingyin was Prince Cheng's son. Although Xie Jingyan felt that his guess was not wrong, a guess was just a guess after all. In order to verify it, he lied to the eldest prince. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually do so.

The eldest prince suppressed the shock on his face and said, "Sixth brother is really smart. Nothing can be hidden from you."

"I hope you and I will never be enemies."
