Overwhelming mountains and rivers

In the Nuan Pavilion of Xingqing Hall, Emperor Yuan was sitting on the Arhat bed covered with embroidered dragon and bright yellow cushions and square pillows. On the small square table in the center of the Arhat bed was ginseng tea brought by Cui Gui.

Cui Gui bowed and stood in front of the pedals.

Emperor Yuan stood up abruptly, his beard trembled with anger, and his eyes were a little dizzy, "What did you say?! People in Concubine Miao's palace have contacts with people outside the palace?"

Cui Gui helped him up, "Your Majesty, calm down, don't be so angry. The servant has sent people to strictly monitor the palace people in the palace of Concubine Miao according to your instructions. I did find that little eunuch tonight. There is contact with someone outside the palace, but it is not yet known whether this person is His Royal Highness Prince Teng."

Emperor Yuan rubbed his forehead, and sat back heavily on the Arhat bed, "Hmph, there is no wave without wind, if he is innocent, how can there be rumors about him in the palace! Now, Concubine Miao's palace is indeed connected with the outside of the palace, which is clear. It's——, hmph, this traitor!!"

"Your Majesty, after all, there is still no conclusion. Maybe things are not what you think. Maybe the person contacted outside the palace is not His Highness Prince Teng."

Emperor Yuan sighed, "You are the only one who will say good things for him. Look at these children, where have you been protecting them? Do they remember you every bit? The last time Concubine Miao had a miscarriage, was it you who said it or not?" After checking, it may not be the King of Xin. Although the result is indeed not, the King of Credible will not remember your kindness. I know you can't bear it, but these children..." Emperor Yuan clasped his hands and thumped his knees heavily, " Alas, I'm just disappointed, disappointed!"

Cui Gui said cautiously, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is submissive, he is almost fifteen, and he has also arrived at the time when the king built his mansion—"

Emperor Yuan interrupted him in a deep voice, "Cui Gui."

Cui Gui hurriedly bowed down, "...the slave made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan closed his eyes and waved his hands, "...I'm tired."

…………

At noon the next day, Prince Teng's Mansion.

With a "crash", when Chu Xuanqing was drinking tea, he suddenly brushed all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground, and the porcelain mixed with the tea shattered all over the floor.

Chu Xuanqing suddenly became angry, Liu Feng didn't dare to show his anger, and stood respectfully behind the table, neither daring to let anyone come forward to clean up, nor did he dare to ask King Teng what happened.

Early this morning, the emperor sent someone to the palace to urgently announce that King Teng would enter the palace. He did not come back from the palace until noon. Since he came back, he has kept a calm face and said nothing. Liu Feng did not dare to offend him. , did not dare to open his mouth to ask, so he quietly followed behind him and served him carefully. Unexpectedly, when he was drinking tea, he suddenly lost his temper.

Chu Xuanqing stood up, hurriedly paced a few steps with her hands behind her back, stood still beside the table, and landed a fist on the table, "This old thing!"

Seeing that he finally opened his mouth, Liu Feng asked carefully, "My lord, what happened?"

Chu Xuanqing waved his hand, and the two servants behind the door immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground to pick up the pieces, King Teng sat down on the stool, "I don't know what's wrong with that old man, he called me to the imperial study today, He neither ordered nor asked, just sat there and stared at me, then opened his mouth for a while, and said some words that I didn't understand. The words seemed to mean that I had a relationship with Concubine Miao. After saying a word, that old thing suddenly became angry, and in the name of contradicting Shengwei, he exempted me from the qualifications to go out and go to the province! This old man!"

After Liu Feng listened carefully, he opened his mouth carefully, "My lord, could it be that you passed the news to Concubine Miao yesterday and got suspicious?"

Chu Xuanqing let out a heavy breath, "It's hard to say. But this is the biggest possibility, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple..., Liu Feng."

Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward, "My lord?"

A trace of cruelty flashed in Chu Xuanqing's eyes, "You go..."

After hearing this, Liu Feng couldn't help being shocked, "My lord, this?! Is this too risky?"

Chu Xuanqing snorted coldly, "This is just in case, unless it is absolutely necessary, this king will not break the relationship between father and son. However, if the old thing is really tired of life, this king doesn't mind being kind." Give him a hand."

Liu Feng had no choice but to accept the order, "...yes, the humble post will do it immediately."

…………

In the evening of that day, Liu Feng hurried back from the outside, and handed a note to Chu Xuanqing as soon as he entered the door, "My lord, the note from Axi! Please take a look!"

Ah Xi is the little eunuch in Concubine Miao's palace who specially delivers news to the outside of the palace.

Chu Xuanqing unfolded the note. There were not many words on the note, but the anxiety of the writer was revealed between the lines.

——I learned by accident today that there are rumors in the palace that you and I have a secret relationship. The emperor has probably heard about it.

After reading it, Chu Xuanqing's expression changed, and he grabbed the note firmly in his palm. Thinking of the emperor's attitude in the imperial study, he sneered, "No wonder! No wonder! No wonder that old man suddenly attacked me , it turned out that he had become suspicious about the matter between me and Concubine Miao!"

"Then, my lord, what should we do? Once the emperor becomes suspicious and finds out that Concubine Miao is the lord's eyeliner, then—"

Chu Xuanqing snorted coldly, "It's not just about eyeliner! Men and women are great defenses, Concubine Miao is still a concubine in the harem. Once the old thing notices our connection, he might think about it. At that time, I will have a hundred mouths I can’t explain it clearly! It’s just...how could such rumors suddenly appear in the palace?”

Surprised, Liu Feng quickly bowed his head and said, "My lord, all the contacts we've had all this time have been with humble people who have been picked for reliable people, and we've been careful to connect with each other. Ordinarily, we won't let the news out!"

Chu Xuanqing sighed, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that this matter happened quite strangely, could it be that someone was playing tricks?"

Chu Xuanqing didn't say it clearly, but both of them knew that he was referring to Chu Xuanzhao.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Chu Xuanqing said coldly, "Have you done what I told you this morning?"

Liu Feng said in a low voice, "Back to the lord, I have already sent the letter to Feige to the two temples closest to Beijing according to the lord's order, but even the nearest one will take two or three days to arrive, and there is no way to get there again." It's almost here...My lord, you, do you really want it?"

Chu Xuanqing was silent for a while, then said coldly, "Originally, it was just for defense, but the news from Concubine Miao came, we may..., Liu Feng, I know who my father is, and once he recognizes me and If Concubine Miao has a problem, she will think that way in her heart, I have no way to explain this matter, and there is no way out."

Liu Feng nodded, he was not ignorant of the emperor's temperament, "...But my lord, if it really starts, there is really no way out."

Chu Xuanqing snorted, "Is there a way out for me now? Do you believe it or not? Once my father is interested in Concubine Miao, within half a month, I will no longer be King Teng. Now be cruel, or It can be done, but when my father disposes of me, I just think, I'm afraid there will be no chance. Chu Xuanzhao wants to use this matter to bring me down, it will not be so easy! I want him to understand what a wrong decision he made I, Chu Xuanqing, am not someone who would sit still and wait for death! Besides, this is not the first time we have conceived of this matter, we have been preparing for it for many years, and now I am just advancing what I originally wanted to do."

Chu Xuanqing stretched out his hand to touch the table case, and seemed to see the thing hidden in the table case through the table case, "Besides, if you give it a try, you may be lucky enough to be on the throne, even if it is really tricked by the heavens, it is just a success or failure. Besides, I have been planning for many years and have arranged a lot, even if it fails, there is still a way to survive, how can I not give it a try?"

Liu Feng lowered his eyes, "My lord, regardless of life or death, Liu Fenggan will fight for my lord."

Chu Xuanqing looked at Liu Feng with a determined face, and smiled, "Okay. It's just that the incident happened suddenly and the situation is in a hurry. After all, we didn't plan it slowly. The foreign aid from Tuojia can't be counted on. The people in the temple And I can't get all of them, just to be careful, I decided, simply, do nothing!"

Liu Feng asked suspiciously, "What does the prince mean?"

After Chu Xuanqing walked around to the table, he took out a pack of medicinal powder from the drawer, "To be safe, before the old man and Concubine Miao openly quarreled, we both got in! I know the old man's temperament, he is suspicious, once Feeling sick, in order to prevent others from taking the opportunity to usurp power, we will strictly guard the news. And we can take advantage of this."

Liu Feng took the medicine package, "I will deliver it myself."

Liu Feng retreated, Chu Xuanqing looked at the dark night outside the window, and couldn't help sneering, "If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and if there is no way to hell, you throw yourself into it. You are immortal. Since you don't want to live in peace for a few years, you have to If you provoke me, then don't blame me for being cruel!"

Outside Xingqing Hall.

Concubine Miao personally carried the tray with only one maid, and came against the cold wind.

Emperor Yuan hadn't come to her palace for two days, thinking of the rumors about the palace people in the Xingqing Palace that the palace had received, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Now, carrying this tray is even more disturbing.

However, if you don't die, I will die, and even he will die, so you can only die.

Concubine Miao made up her mind, hung up her seductive smile, and walked towards Xingqing Hall.
