Save the villain and become the villain [Quick Wear]

Xiao Jinglu quickly glanced at Prince Zheng, who had been calm and composed, as if he didn't care about anything, and asked impatiently, "How is Uncle Prince Zheng?"

King Zheng was suddenly called, stunned for a moment, and looked up.

The King of Qi's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at him, but heard the little emperor above him hurriedly added: "Uncle Zheng also fought on the battlefield in the past, so he is the perfect match."

King Zheng thought about it for a moment and felt that the young emperor was dissatisfied with King Qi and wanted to find a new backer. This was a gesture of goodwill to him. He smiled slightly and could not help feeling pleased.

Some of the King of Qi's supporters wanted to stop him, but as soon as they opened their mouths, the King of Zheng bowed down and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

The matter was suddenly settled, and the King of Qi looked extremely grim.

Xiao Jingchen also wanted to place his own people in the six ministries, but when he saw that Prince Zheng had suddenly intervened, he remembered that the prince of Zheng was once Rong Qingyan's fiancé, and that he had humiliated and harassed Rong Qingyan many times. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After the morning court session, someone from Ci'an Palace came and wanted to ask Xiao Jinglu and Prince Qi to come over. Xiao Jinglu immediately turned angry and left with a wave of his sleeves.

After returning to the Zichen Palace, he couldn't wait to share what happened in the court with Qi Yang.

Qi Yang smiled slightly, knowing that it was done.

The checks and balances among the three forces would give Xiao Jinglu a lot of more time.

The Prince of Qi holds military power and has great influence in the government. He also has the Queen Mother's support in the palace, so he seems to be the strongest one.

As the male protagonist, Xiao Jingchen is blessed with good fortune and has control over many ministers. The forces behind the former Concubine Yue were dispersed by the Wen family, but half of them are still preserved. In addition, there is the mysterious national teacher... these are all Xiao Jingchen's reliance.

Prince Zheng is the only remaining brother of the late emperor. He seems to be incompetent, but his prestige among the royal family is the highest. He is also far more orthodox than Prince Qi, and he has the help of the Prime Minister's Office who secretly defected.

Xiao Jinglu looked at him and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go with me? If you go, you can give me some advice."

"I can't get out. Xiao Jingchen is much stronger than me now. If I make any move, he will definitely find out." So it's better to continue hiding in this palace.

……

On the other side, when the Prince of Qi arrived at Ci'an Palace, he saw the Queen Mother leaning against the head of the bed, dozing off and on, taking a puff of snuff from the snuff bottle from time to time to stay awake.

"What happened?"

When the Queen Mother heard his voice, she pinched her brows, thought of important matters, and her face became gloomy and murderous.

"Brother, there must be someone around the emperor helping him. I suspect it's the little eunuch named Chongyang."

"what happened?"

"You know my plan for yesterday's banquet, but when my sister-in-law brought people over, he was gone."

"Speaking of this, I am a little confused."

The King of Qi then told the Princess what he had learned from her, and immediately summoned the imperial physician who was on duty last night.

Upon learning that no one in the palace had looked for the imperial physician last night and that the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet were not running out, the two became puzzled.

The Queen Mother pinched her brows again and said to the imperial physician, "Go and check the Emperor's pulse and tell him it was my idea."

About half an hour later, the imperial physician came back with a bruised face.

The Queen Mother had fallen asleep again. The Imperial Physician resisted the urge to cry and said to the King of Qi, "Your Majesty has not allowed me to get close to you. I cannot diagnose your pulse, but judging from the force you used, you should not have been injured."

The King of Qi looked at the Queen Mother's tired sleeping face, and recalled what she had told him before she fell asleep, which happened in the second half of the night last night. He felt murderous intent in his heart.

But after searching the entire palace, the incense burner could not be found. It seemed that Chongyang was no ordinary person.

After returning to Prince Qi's Palace, he began to make arrangements.

"That Chongyang in Zichen Palace, I want him dead."

That night, an assassin broke into the Zichen Palace and the emperor's body was damaged.

Before the imperial guards arrived, the "assassin" fled to Ci'an Palace, where the empress dowager was seriously injured and had an arm broken. Yin Quan and the head nanny were loyal to their master and were pierced through the heart by a sword.

The palace guards arrived late, and the "assassin" fled and disappeared without a trace.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded the palace guards for dereliction of duty and incompetence. He killed the commander and the deputy commander in charge of patrol with a single sword, and then issued an edict to invite General Fan Wushang to take over the position of commander, and promoted Zhu Pan, who won the first place in last year's martial arts examination, as deputy commander.

He acted too quickly. Before the King of Qi had time to enter the palace, the imperial edict had already been issued. It was Chongyang, who was supposed to die, who conveyed the edict.

The King of Qi almost vomited blood because the two dead were his men.

King Zheng also wanted to vomit blood because the original commander obeyed King Qi on the surface, but was actually his man.

Although the palace was not completely cleared, Xiao Jinglu at least had a preliminary control over the place. With the help of Fan Wushang and Zhu Pan, he gradually eroded the Queen Mother's power in the palace.

The three waves of forces outside the palace had no time to pay attention to the situation inside the palace, and constant frictions of varying sizes began to arise.

Xiao Jingchen and Prince Zheng, who had been hiding their strength, were exposing themselves more and more. Prince Qi became more and more wary of them, and the friction was growing, but they could not really overturn the table.

Triangles are always the most balanced.

In this delicate balance, Qi Yang found time in his busy schedule and finally thoroughly understood the two books written by the Imperial Master.

Xiao Jinglu accidentally saw the contents of the book and asked a few questions, only to find out that he was also poisoned by a Gu.

Qi Yang saw that the time was almost right, so he told him roughly how he was Xiao Jingchen's secret guard.

Listening to him calmly talk about his experiences over the past fourteen years, and then talking about what happened when the poison took effect, Xiao Jinglu's heart, which had been at peace for a long time, began to beat wildly again, as if it was being fried in a frying pan, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt that his fears and helplessness were nothing.

The young man in front of him, despite such a life-or-death training, still grew into the person he admired.

Xiao Jinglu lowered his eyes, covering his sore eyes, and asked in a muffled voice: "Does it hurt?"

Qi Yang smiled nonchalantly: "Fortunately, I am well prepared."

Xiao Jinglu did not ask where the medicine to suppress the poison came from, nor did he ask where the set of skills he had retrained came from. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will definitely find out the truth about the Ji family tragedy and give justice to all 113 people in your family."

Qi Yang looked at him with curved eyebrows and said softly, "Okay."

Qi Yang originally wanted to leave the palace to remove the poison, but Xiao Jinglu was worried and insisted that he stay in the palace. He also called Zhu Pan to guard the Zichen Palace. Then he waved his hand and packed a package of various medicinal herbs and sent them to the Zichen Palace.

Qi Yang smiled helplessly.

After everything was ready, he began to prepare medicine and remove the poison.

Xiao Jinglu refused to go out and wait, so Qi Yang followed him, but they still kept a screen between them. After all, the process probably wouldn't be a very pretty one.

Xiao Jinglu looked at the table full of memorials, but could not read a single word.

Anyway, these memorials have been screened, so it doesn't matter whether you read them or not, he thought to himself, pushing them aside irritably and asking tentatively, "Can I go in and take a look?"

Qi Yang had just awakened the poisonous insect and was about to unbutton his shirt. He groaned as soon as he opened his mouth, but he was determined not to show cowardice in front of the little emperor.

He bit his back teeth and tried to make his tone lighter: "It's not pretty, don't look at it, be good."

At the same time, he quickly cut a cross-shaped wound on his heart with a very steady hand and applied a handful of black-green medicinal mud on it.

The tiny bugs gradually broke free from the heart, causing waves of severe pain as they crawled.

Qi Yang's forehead was covered with more and more cold sweat. He tried hard to protect his heart with his internal strength. His teeth were almost broken as he couldn't stop cursing the Imperial Master and Xiao Jingchen.
