miscalculation

Xiao Liang and the others walked for seven days before returning to the palace.He first personally sent Xiao Qian back to the Yue Palace, and then asked Xiao Liang to dress up as a bodyguard and enter the palace together.He originally wanted to detour Chuxiu Palace, let Xiao Jue enter first, and then go to Chonghua Palace to meet Xiao Yi.

The two of them entered the Chuxiu Palace, but they saw Xiao Yi sitting in the hall, while Concubine Liu Chen and Concubine Ji Shu stood beside him.Xiao Jue knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had sneaked out of the palace, so he quickly knelt down and said: "Father, my son is worried about the illness of elder brother, so he forced Xiaoqi to take me out of the palace. If you want to abate your crime, please punish me alone." yes."

Xiao Yi gave him a cold look, then turned to Xiao Liang, and asked, "Feng Mian, is that so?"

Xiao Liang said: "No matter what, it was the minister who brought the fifth elder brother out of the palace. I hope the emperor will calm down and punish me as well."

Xiao Yi slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Xiao Liang was frightened by him, and he pretended to be calm and said: "My son... my son is guilty." As he spoke, his breath became more and more unstable, and he couldn't kneel.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue who was next to him quickly said: "Father, Xiaoqi is not feeling well, why don't you announce the imperial physician to come first, and I would like to accept the punishment alone."

Concubine Liu Chen said: "As soon as your father patted the table, why did Xiao Qi shake like this, he dared to take you out of the palace privately, how could he be so cowardly? Could it be that he is pretending to be sick?"

Xiao Jue glared angrily and was very anxious, but he could only patiently say: "Father, when Xiao Qi went out, he met a person and somehow fell into his tricks. The imperial doctor you sent couldn't see the details, but he was indeed unwell. , if you don’t believe me, you can summon the imperial physician.”

Xiao Yi said: "Come here, help the King of Qin go down to rest first. Jueer, if you explain clearly the fact that Xiao Qi was assassinated, I want to see who dares to assassinate the prince!"

Xiao Jue said: "Xiaoqi was going to Lizhou City to look for a famous doctor. On the way, he met a man who was very angry. I don't know what kind of martial arts he used. He tapped Xiaoqi's acupoints. He was a little short of breath when he came back, so I invited him Many famous doctors didn't work. It was inconvenient for the minister to come forward, so he had to ask the guards who accompanied Xiaoqi to explain clearly. He confessed that he was Pei Zhongyu's son, and Pei Shang was a little rude when he saw Xiaoqi's beautiful appearance, as if he was... "

What he said was half true and half false, but it made Concubine Liu Chen break out in cold sweat.Who was responsible for the poison on Xiao Liang's body? Only concubine Liu Chen and Xiao Jue knew it well.Pei Zhongyu and Concubine Liu Chen's mother's family, Liu Guojiu's house, had a close past and everyone knew about it.

Xiao Yi frowned, looked at Concubine Liu Chen, and asked: "My concubine, I remember that Pei Shang's mother is your cousin, isn't it?"

Concubine Liu Chen said: "That's right. However, the Pei family wants to be very strict. Although they have been in business for many years, they act like officials and eunuchs. I don’t know if I admit it.”

Concubine Ji Shu said: "My sister was joking. Who has the guts to pretend to be the son of the world-famous Pei Zhongyu. Could it be that his family doesn't want to live in the north?"

The Pei family already dominated the north and had contacts with many officials, but they have kept a low profile for many years and managed them well. Relying on the big tree of Uncle Liu, they have not attracted attention for many years.Unexpectedly, with a few words from Xiao Jue, Xiao Yi noticed the Pei family, and even involved his mother's family.Concubine Liu Chen couldn't help but stare at Xiao Jue a few times when she thought of this.

Xiao Jue turned a blind eye and said, "It was identified by the imperial bodyguard Yun Zhao, there is absolutely no mistake."

Xiao Yi saw that although Xiao Jue was worried, he was not too anxious. He thought that Xiao Liang's illness should be fine, so he said, "Okay. I'll talk about this later. Jue, tell me quickly, your elder brother's illness How exactly?"

Xiao Jue said: "Brother's illness has been cured. It was Ji Lan who went to a well-known doctor in the world and asked for the elixir, but it seems that something is wrong, and he is still waiting and watching."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Ji Lan?"

Xiao Jue said, "Exactly."

Concubine Ji Shu was startled when she heard that, knowing that Ji Lan was helping, she must have found someone from the teacher's family to come, she was quite puzzled.But Xiao Yi was here, so it was inconvenient for her to ask in detail, so she could only stay silent.

Xiao Yi said: "Later, Imperial Physician Xuan will give King Qin a careful examination. As for Jue'er, tell yourself how the Emperor will punish you?"

Xiao Jue said: "Father, my son is only concerned about the elder brother's condition, although it is a bit out of line, it is not a big mistake, why is it so angry?"

Xiao Yi said: "Oh? Then what do you mean, is the father making a big fuss?"

Xiao Jue hastily said: "I dare not!"

Xiao Yi slapped the table and shouted: "You have eaten the heart of a bear and leopard, and dare to leave the palace without authorization! As the prince of a country, how can you go into a dangerous situation?"

His scolding shocked the whole audience, and after a while, Concubine Ji Shu came to her senses and said firstly: "The concubine thanked His Majesty Long En on behalf of the prince."

Concubine Liu Chen quickly said: "Your Majesty made a slip of the tongue, how can you take it seriously?"

Xiao Yi looked up at her and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you can read the imperial decree now."

Eunuch Zhang opened the imperial decree and read: "The fifth son of the emperor, Xiao Jue, is respectful, filial, loyal and tolerant, and won my heart. He is made the crown prince. Dong Zhili, the daughter of Dong Xiaolin from the Imperial Academy, is chosen as the crown princess. We will be married in April next year."

Xiao Jue was still at a loss, when he heard the third son of the Crown Princess, he hurriedly said: "Father, think twice, son..."

Concubine Ji Shu grabbed his sleeve and said softly: "Je'er! You resisted the decree before leaving the palace, but now you even dare to refute the prepared imperial decree. Do you want to force the concubine mother to death?"

Concubine Liu Chen sneered and said, "Your Majesty, how can King Qi be so respectful and filial with his appearance? He has to think twice before accepting the imperial edict?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Jue and said, "Jue'er, do you want to be a prince who makes me think twice?"

What he meant now was clear, there were so many princes, it wasn't just him.Xiao Jue suddenly came to his senses, and quickly said: "I've made a slip of the tongue, thank you father and emperor Long En. Just now you said about the Crown Princess, but I just wanted to... think..."

Xiao Yi said, "What do you think?"

Xiao Jue said: "Thinking that Miss Dong's family has never met before, she was stunned for a moment, and she violated the holy will. I hope my father will forgive me."

Xiao Yi looked at him and asked, "What? Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"

Xiao Jue said: "No, my son was just a little overly surprised. The marriage granted by the emperor is naturally very good."

He knew that the marriage bestowed by Xiao Qian last time had ended like that, which already made Xiao Yi extremely sensitive, so he didn't dare to mention it again.

Xiao Yi said: "I heard that your Prince Qi Mansion is about to be completed. In my opinion, it should be built first for other use. You will live in the East Palace, so you don't have to move out."

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "I obey the order."

Xiao Yi said: "I haven't punished you for leaving the palace without authorization, so that's all right, I order you to stay in the palace until you get married before you can go out."

Xiao Jue said: "Father, this... this can't be done. After a long time, the son will inevitably be bored. I hope the father will allow the son to visit the eldest brother."

Xiao Yi said: "No need. I will send someone to take care of your elder brother. Don't mess around. You are so self-willed, how decent! You can stay in the palace during this period, and the emperor can teach you about government affairs, so that you don't worry about it. As for making jokes."

Xiao Jue said with a bitter face, "Yes."

He felt dejected, he didn't know how to meet Xiao Qian again, recalling the scene when his elder brother woke up on the way back, he couldn't help but feel even more anxious.
