When the scenery is right

and heart.Jing He never felt that the road to the throne was so peaceful, so he was not surprised by what Meng Shiqing did, but now that Meng Shiqing spoke out his "conspiracy" so frankly, Jing He had a very special feeling in his heart.

Meng Shiqing looked at him in a daze for a long time, then lowered his head and smiled lightly, "I was so reluctant to recruit you back then, I still say that, if you want to leave in the future, I will definitely not stop you. I was wrong , although Xiaojing is smart but has a clear mind, he is not suitable for these things after all."

"No, I didn't force it..." Jing He retorted: "Do you think I really have no position, and you said that there is delicious food in Shu, so I followed it? It's just... because the person following is the prince." He said As he spoke, his face was also a little red. It was obviously a frank statement of loyalty, and it sounded so awkward when he said it through his own mouth.

Now Meng Shiqing was stunned, he looked straight at Jing He and was speechless for a long time, "I thought...you were...ah, I was wrong..."

Jing He smiled brightly at Meng Shiqing, and said: "Shang Yuan once said that you were kind to him, and the matter of water control in Shu also showed me your benevolence, my lord. Today, Jing He's willingness to follow you is not because of the lord's reluctance. I am willing."

☆, the collapse of the emperor

Meng Shiqing obviously didn't expect Jing He to say these words, and it took him a long time to react. Just as he was about to speak, news suddenly came out from the emperor's bedroom, saying that the emperor who had been unconscious all this time had woken up, and there were many people waiting outside the palace. The imperial physicians rushed in.

Standing at the door, Meng Shiqing watched the imperial physicians come in and out, grabbed a collar and asked sharply, "How is your majesty?"

The imperial doctor had just focused on the little emperor's condition, but now he was caught by Meng Shiqing suddenly. He was obviously taken aback, and trembling all over, he said, "Return...Report to the lord, although the emperor has woken up, he still has a high fever. This time the disease is coming fiercely, the emperor's old illness has relapsed, and the ministers are doing their best to treat it."

Meng Shiqing put the person in and stood outside the palace gate to watch.

At sunset, the sun was as red as blood, and the guards in front of the palace changed from team to team. What remained unchanged was the consistent solemn look on their faces, as if the change of dynasties had nothing to do with them. No matter who was the emperor, they all Standing here, guarding the tranquility of the imperial city like the most formidable copper wall.

The setting sun completely disappeared behind the mountains, the moon climbed high into the sky, and the bright yellow crescent hung on the branches like a hook.

The little emperor woke up in the middle of the night, clamoring for porridge.Meng Shiqing hurried to visit, but the little emperor grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.Jing He stood aside and peeked at the little emperor. The latter seemed to be in a bad mood, presumably because he was tortured by the epidemic, but there was still a trace of blood on his face, and he wanted to eat on his own initiative.

The palace maid cooked clear porridge according to the imperial physician's instructions, and the little emperor drank the porridge without saying a word, maybe the hot porridge was a little hot when he ate it, and the little emperor's complexion was not very good.After the maid retreated, the little emperor whispered to Meng Shiqing, "Sixth brother, the porridge is not good, it's bland."

Meng Shiqing wrung out the handkerchief with his own hands to wipe his hands, and said softly, "Now that you're sick, even if I give you delicacies from mountains and seas, you won't be able to taste them."

The little emperor looked at him and asked earnestly, "Sixth brother, do you think my illness can be cured?"

Meng Shiqing stretched out his hand to touch his head, raised his hand halfway, then put it down and continued to wipe his hand, and said with a smile: "You are the king of a country and still say childish nonsense, naturally it will be fine."

The little emperor glanced at Jinghe, and Meng Shiqing immediately understood, "It's okay, just say what the emperor has to say."

The emperor removed the handkerchief from Meng Shiqing's hand, traced the lines in his hand with his fingertips, and said with a curious face: "The sixth brother's lifeline is really long."

Meng Shiqing smiled back and held the emperor's hand, "The emperor is also, longer than the minister."

The little emperor chuckled twice and said again: "You all treat me as a child, but I understand many things."

Meng Shiqing raised his face slightly to look at the little emperor, who lowered his eyes and smiled lowly, his slender eyelashes flickering, extremely beautiful.

He said: "Among the many heirs of my father, I and the sixth brother are the most similar."

Meng Shiqing sighed softly, "Yes."

The emperor suddenly squeezed Meng Shiqing's hand and said, "So after I leave, let the sixth brother sit here."

Meng Shiqing looked at the emperor in astonishment, and the emperor smiled slightly: "Although I don't have the right to pass on the seat to Brother Six, the queen mother will also help Brother Six sit on the throne, so I don't worry. I have no chance to be a good emperor. Sixth Brother Brother can do it for me."

Jing He almost ran out of chances to see Meng Shiqing stunned in these few days. Meng Shiqing stared blankly at the little emperor and muttered, unable to speak for a long time.

It wasn't until dawn that the little emperor finally felt sleepy. Meng Shiqing watched the emperor fall asleep as if he was a young son, and then watched for a long time by the bed, before finally walking out of the hall.

He walked ahead, and Jing He stretched sleepily behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work, go to rest when you are tired."

"My lord...won't you go to rest?"

Meng Shiqing waved his hand, his voice was a little hoarse, "The queen mother has taken care of many things during the few days when the little emperor fell ill, and there are still many things for me."

Jing He took two steps forward, worried: "Are you okay?"

Meng Shiqing's complexion was very ugly, and his thick black eyes were full of exhaustion.The wind in the early summer morning was still a little cool, Jing He stood on the high steps and suddenly felt in a trance, he said: "I am your counselor, the prince has not rested yet, how can I go to rest?" ?”

Meng Shiqing turned his head to look at him for a long time, and then remembered that he was in the palace now, and Jing He seemed to have nowhere to go except to follow him, so he said, "Forget it, I'm tired too, let's go."

Jing He followed Meng Shiqing slowly. He didn't have a good rest all night, and his whole body was limp and unable to lift his spirits.

The two of them walked slowly in front, and the father-in-law caught up behind him, shouting: "My lord, please stay! My lord, stay here!"

As soon as Meng Shiqing turned around, the chief eunuch next to the emperor caught up. Xu was old and ran in a hurry, and spoke a sentence intermittently. Jing He walked away before listening to Meng Shiqing.

The father-in-law said: "My lord... not long after you left, the emperor suddenly woke up... all the civil and military officials have rushed here... you... you should hurry up... oh my lord... wait for this old slave...!"

Jing He hurriedly followed the chief eunuch all the way to the emperor's bedroom, but there were hundreds of officials kneeling outside the palace, some disheveled, some sleepy, presumably they were woken up in their sleep.

Meng Shiqing had already entered the house, so Jing He stood outside the house and waited, he had no idea what happened in the house.

The Prime Minister was the head of all the officials and stood at the front. When he saw Jing He approaching, his eyes lingered on him for a long time. Ever since he knew that he and the Prime Minister might be father and son, Jing He felt a little uncomfortable seeing him again. , Jinghe looked away first.

Standing outside the hall, he couldn't hear a single sound in the hall, and all the officials standing behind the prime minister whispered to each other. Jing He learned from the conversations of those people that the emperor might not be able to hold on to such a big battle.

Jing He thought to himself, the little emperor drank porridge and talked to Meng Shiqing for a long time in the early morning, why can't he hold on now?He also thought that if the emperor died, would Meng Shiqing be the emperor next, what about the prime minister?What about Meng Shulang?Or is the throne vacant, and the queen mother will temporarily take care of everything?What will Meng Shiqing do after he becomes the emperor?Go back to the Xianke Pavilion or Meng Shiqing will keep him?

He was guessing wildly in this room, and finally there was a noise in the hall in that room. When Jing He realized it, the father-in-law beside him pulled him to kneel down.

The emperor died, all the officials wept, and the country mourned.

Jing He didn't know how many of these cries were sincere and how many were fake amidst all the wailing, but when Meng Shiqing walked out of the palace with a solemn expression, he felt that this haggard man really died for the little emperor And sad.

Shao Qiang's side was also put on hold because of the death of the emperor. Although the march in southern Xinjiang did not follow the usual rules, when the national mourning was held here, southern Xinjiang still followed the ancestral system for a truce.

The emperor died because of the epidemic. Although he had an old illness, if it weren't for this epidemic, the emperor would not have been knocked down by the menacing illness.The empress dowager ordered the prime minister to stay in the mansion for a few days to recuperate for a while. Although the name was borrowed from the emperor's death and the prime minister was overly sad, none of the ministers knew that the empress dowager was clearing the snow for Meng Shiqing's ascension to the throne.

For a while, the prime minister's faction seemed to think that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

Jing He was still lamenting the warmth and coldness of human relations, and only then did he realize how much the emperor's death had affected him when he saw Meng Shiqing's expressionless face.Meng Shiqing had been expressionless for many days, these Tian Jinghe followed Meng Shiqing in the palace to deal with various matters, although the emperor's funeral was in charge of a full-time department, Meng Shiqing still personally checked repeatedly and suffered together with Jing He.After the prime minister returned to the mansion to recuperate, the epidemic in the capital was also handed over to Meng Shiqing. During the day, he had a table full of documents to read, and at night he had to compare the funeral affairs with the documents sent by the officials.

Jing He shouted tired for him just by watching.However, Meng Shiqing didn't say anything, and dealt with various affairs calmly.

This day, Ri Jinghe sent the medicine boiled by the imperial physician to Meng Shiqing as usual, and after watching him drink a large bowl of thick black medicinal soup with no expression on his face, he couldn't help but reminded him: "My lord, it's late at night."

Meng Shiqing raised his head and frowned, then lowered his head and continued to read the documents.

Jing He couldn't help laughing when he saw a faint black streak on his straight nose, "My lord, nose."

Meng Shiqing reached out and touched his nose, "What's wrong?"

Jing He touched the root of his nose to him, "Here, there is Mo."

Meng Shiqing laughed and said, "I'm so busy and confused."

Jing He was a little relieved to see a smile finally appear on his serious face for many days, and said in a deep voice: "These days, the prince has bored himself to death."

Before Meng Shiqing touched the ink stain on the base of his nose, Jing He leaned over and said, "Don't move, my lord, I'll wipe it for you."

Just as Jing He touched Meng Shiqing's face with his fingers, Meng Shiqing suddenly grabbed his hand and said in a low voice, "He knows everything."

"what?"

Jing He was surprised to see a little water in Meng Shiqing's eyes, which was the most shocking expression on his quiet and solemn face for many days.

"Although the emperor is young, he knows many things."

Jing He said in a low voice: "I heard the conversation between you and the emperor that day."

Meng Shiqing said: "He knew that I coveted his seat for a long time, but he said he wanted me to be the emperor. He said this just to make me feel at ease when I sit on the throne in the future."

Jing He didn't know that the little emperor was so thoughtful at such a young age. When he was ten years old, he was still arguing with the children in the neighborhood over some trivial matters, but the seriously ill emperor was already worried about his sixth brother and the others. the affairs of the world.

Jing He carefully wiped off the ink stains on Meng Shiqing's face, stood up straight and didn't know what to say, he thought for a while, then took Meng Shiqing's hand like a little emperor, looked carefully at his hand prints and turned his head and said, "Well... Let me see..."

Meng Shiqing let him hold his hand, and said amusedly, "What can you see?"

Jing He frowned for a long time, then raised his head and said seriously: "I can't see anything."

Meng Shiqing's big warm hand was held by Jing He. Jing He felt that the slippery and warm hand felt good, so he squeezed it with two fingers, but Meng Shiqing held it backwards.

Jing He:?

Meng Shiqing pretended to be angry and said, "Bold, how dare you play with this king's hand."

Jing He raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and wiped Meng Shiqing's hands with his sleeves, and said solemnly: "My lord's hands are dirty, Caomin will wipe them for you."

Meng Shiqing pinched Jing He's sleeve and said in a low voice, "The sleeve is dirty."

Jing He took the sleeves out of Meng Shiqing's hands, and said casually, "Wash the sleeves when they are dirty, and cry when you are sad. The past will always pass, and life must go on."

Meng Shiqing smiled and said, "What if I cry about those people under me? Someone has to take care of these things."

Jing He said with a matter of course: "There is no one else, only Jing He. If the prince wants to cry, just cry, I will not laugh at you."

Meng Shiqing looked at Jing He with a smile on his face for a while, and then said softly after a long time: "I don't want to cry right now, I want to kiss you."

The author has something to say: I will be busy with the start of school, so the update is not stable for the time being, so I will put some sugar first. -

☆, eat tofu

Meng Shiqing didn't expect that Jing He would stick his lips to him after staring at him for a while, and kissed him lightly like a dragonfly on water. Immediately, Jing He stood up straight again and looked at Meng Shiqing with a smile.

"You said you wanted to kiss me." Jing He pursed his lips and smiled.

Meng Shiqing was stunned for a moment, seeing Jing He's increasingly ruddy face, he smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Jing to be so direct."

Jing He's heart was hammering hard like a drum, and his blushing face was steaming, but he pretended to be serious and smiled calmly: "Do you think this is you kissing me or I kissing you?"

Meng Shiqing blinked and said slowly, "Of course you kissed me."

"Oh..." Jing He licked his lips meaningfully, and with a smirk on his face, he said again: "Then I ate Wang Ye's tofu."

Meng Shiqing suddenly pulled Jing He over, sat on his lap, hugged him and kissed him.Jing He didn't guard against Meng Shiqing's move, so he threw himself on Meng Shiqing when his center of gravity was unstable.

The warm lips of the two touched.Caijing and kissed too hastily just now, only felt that the lips they touched were soft and warm, but now they are getting closer.Meng Shiqing stroked Jing He's lips with his lips, and the numbness from his lips spread all over his body, and Jing He couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Meng Shiqing pulled him away from his arms, and said to Jinghe from an extreme distance: "This king has always been willing to take revenge, and the agreement is that this king wants to kiss you."

While talking, his hot and humid breath sprayed on Jing He's neck, such an intimate gesture made Jing He's mind go blank.

It took him a long time to realize that the behavior of the two of them was too intimate, he struggled to stand up, and felt that he would look embarrassed if he stood up at this time, he bit his lip and thought about it, then lowered his head and bit Meng Shiqing's lip.

When the teeth came into contact with the two lips, Jing He's heart suddenly overflowed with an unknown emotion. Although Meng Shiqing's upper body was stiffly surrounded by Meng Shiqing's arms, there was an intoxicating burst of excitement coming from the place where the two skins touched. a feeling of.

Jing He was taken aback by the sudden satisfaction in his heart, and suddenly regretted his impulsive action. Just as he was biting Meng Shiqing's lip and didn't know what to do, Meng Shiqing made a move. He carefully stretched out his tongue and licked Jing He. lips.With the wet tip of his tongue brushing against his lips, Jing He subconsciously wanted to push Meng Shiqing away, but he grabbed onto the hem of his shirt tightly with one hand.

Jinghe's mind suddenly became confused. Meng Shiqing seemed to have not kissed anyone for a long time. He was cautious and jerky when exploring Jinghe's mouth. The two teeth knocked each other's lips from time to time, but they didn't stop because of the pain on the lips. .Jinghe suddenly thought of a sentence: love does not know where it starts, and it goes deep.After thinking about it, he began to think about what he was thinking all day long. Is he deeply in love with Meng Shiqing?Does he like Meng Shiqing?Meng Shiqing is a prince, can they be together?

Jing He wanted to know what Meng Shiqing was thinking. He opened his eyes and secretly looked at the person in front of him. As if sensing his movements, Meng Shiqing also opened his eyes the second Jing He opened his eyes, and the two of them stared straight at each other. .

Meng Shiqing looked at Jing He with clear and gentle eyes, and his soft gaze was as intoxicating as his kiss.

Jing He's jaw was a little sore from opening his mouth for a long time, so he left Meng Shiqing's embrace when their eyes met, stood aside and wiped his mouth with his sleeve foolishly.

Meng Shiqing took his hand away, wiped away the glistening saliva on Jing He's lips with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Let me do this next time."

Jing He was still immersed in the delicate kiss just now, and for a moment he didn't notice what Meng Shiqing said, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Meng Shiqing repeated it patiently, "Let me do this next time."

Jing He didn't know what to say, he really wanted to grab Meng Shiqing's collar and ask sharply, "Do you know what you're talking about?" "You're courting, do you understand?" Then you showed your love????"

Jing He straightened his face and said: "I think your words are too easy to be misunderstood. I almost thought about it. Hahahaha, my lord, you say so."

Meng Shiqing nodded and agreed, "It's really easy to be misunderstood, so let me make it clearer."

He said again: "Isn't it good for Xiaojing to stay by my side?"

Jing He was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is always a way to keep Caomin by your side as counselors."

"What if the king said he didn't want you to be a counselor?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Jing He blurted out and asked.

Meng Shiqing looked at him for a moment, then said slowly, "It's nothing."

Jing He subconsciously thought of something he shouldn't have thought of, and shouted, "I don't sell my art or my body."

Meng Shiqing shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Jing is too worried."

Jing He looked at his desk full of papers, pointed and said, "Do you need me to help you?"

Meng Shiqing said "Oh", but he did not refuse Jing He's help, and said: "The queen mother has also entrusted me with the full power of epidemic prevention in the palace. Now there are some trivial matters that I have no time to take care of, so Xiao Jing will supervise for me. .”

Since Jing He was not very familiar with everything in the palace, Meng Shiqing picked some light and easy tasks and gave them to Jing He.

The task Meng Shiqing assigned to Jing He, he did it with great joy. His eloquent mouth and handsome appearance won the favor of many young ladies in the palace. Even the father-in-laws liked to chat with him from time to time. Color jokes.

After Meng Shiqing had been busy for a few days in the dark, when he remembered Jing He, he was surrounded by a group of court ladies, happily talking about those interesting things outside the palace, making up nonsense and talking nonsense, and the little court ladies were stunned. I was taken aback.

When Meng Shiqing saw Jing He, he was beaming and said, "Let's talk about that son-in-law, since he fell in love with the fox demon Hongye at first sight, he planned to abandon his glory and wealth and fly away with Hongye. The son-in-law almost died in order to leave the palace, dragging bloody He went to look for Hongye with his body, it was so miserable. When he arrived at the Maple Leaf Forest, he found that Hongye had already left and disappeared. That day, the Maple Leaf Forest and the blood-red clothes on the son-in-law's body contrasted very well, it was so red that it was so dazzlingly red..."

Before Jinghe could finish talking, the little maid beside her had already seen Meng Shiqing, and hurriedly lowered her head and shouted: "My lord..."

Jing He stopped talking abruptly, and seeing Meng Shiqing looking at him amusedly, he greeted, "My lord, come and listen to the story together?"

The little maids all lowered their heads and communicated with surprised eyes: "My lord, this counselor is so courageous, he dared to let him go over on his own initiative!"

Meng Shiqing took two steps toward him, and the little maid hurriedly backed away in panic, saying: "I have seen the prince, and this servant will back down."

Jing He still wanted to call people back, but when he saw Meng Shiqing's calm expression, he rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Look, I scared everyone away."

Meng Shiqing's expression froze, and he said sharply, "It's my king who indulged you too much."

Jing He thought that Meng Shiqing's face had changed so unpredictable, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Caomin has seen the prince."

Meng Shiqing asked: "What happened to the son-in-law?"

"what?"

"The son-in-law who fell in love with Hongye at first sight."

Jing He looked suddenly enlightened, brewing a belly full of bad ideas, and opened his eyes wide and said: "The prince wants to hear it too?"

Meng Shiqing said, "Think."

Jing He Shumei smiled and said: "Since the grassroots people naturally want to ask for a reward for telling a story, how about using this story in exchange for a indulgence from the prince?"

Meng Shiqing couldn't prevent him from making such a request, and after a brief moment of stupefaction, he smiled and said, "Just say what you want, and the king will agree to any conditions."

Jing He continued: "My son-in-law left behind his glory and wealth for the red leaves. He only thought that the fox demon would live with him, but he didn't expect the red leaves to disappear suddenly. He left the maple forest with his heart broken. After that, it is difficult to find him in the world. Speaking of Hongye, it was originally from different ways of ancient people and monsters. If Hongye insists on being with the son-in-law, one of them will be punished by heaven. People can be together for a long time, if they can't survive, then it's not a human monster, but a human ghost. Since Hongye got the promise from the son-in-law, she secretly made up her mind to suffer this punishment for the two of them, the little fox demon The cultivation base is still shallow, and in that time of divine punishment, he finally failed to withstand the last thunderbolt, and fell into the path of reincarnation. Since then, Shangqiongbi fell to Huangquan, and the two finally ended up separated from heaven and man."

"Is this the end?"

Jing He sighed and said, "Poor Hong Ye was misunderstood by the son-in-law and lost her life in vain."

Meng Shiqing said: "I think this is a good ending. If the son-in-law is also reincarnated and meets the reincarnated Hongye, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

"The son-in-law is also an infatuated person, and he threw down his glory and wealth for the red leaves."

"It's just a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children." Meng Shiqing said with a low smile.

Jing He was stunned for a while after listening. He never thought about these badly told stories among the people. He just parroted them in the tone of a storyteller and told them to others. He only said that these stories were after dinner. Talking, but not thinking about the meaning.

It's true, the son-in-law is an infatuated person to Hongye, isn't he a heartless person to the princess?

Jing He smiled relievedly: "If he is not the son-in-law but the emperor, then he doesn't love the country and the beauties."

Meng Shiqing said: "If he is the emperor, he will have to dig three feet to find the red leaves. The love is so deep that even if he can't get it, he doesn't want to let it go."

Jing He shivered, and it was rare for Meng Shiqing to feel a bit of chill when he heard these words. He used teasing to hide the awe in his heart, and said, "If you were a prince, would you want to be that person who can't get it and doesn't want to let it go?"

Meng Shiqing seemed to be encountering a problem, he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I don't want to leave any chance that I can't get. The throne is like this, and so is my sweetheart."

"Does the lord have a girl he likes?" Jing He saw that the willow shoots were on the moon tonight, and the night was pretty good, so he boldly asked under the bright moonlight.

Meng Shiqing looked at the scene and shook his head, "Never."

Jing He sighed in disappointment: "The prince is not young anymore."

Meng Shiqing patted his head with a smile and said, "Are you going to use up the opportunity I just begged for to pamper you? This king has someone he likes."

Jing He was confused when he heard that, just now he said that he had no favorite girl, now he said that there is someone he likes, and cooperating with Meng Shiqing is to make him happy.

Although he had many guesses in his mind, he subconsciously avoided an answer all the time, including Meng Shiqing's meaningful eyes when he just looked at him.

Jing He thought to himself, although he grew up in a place like Xianke Pavilion, he is different from those girls in the building after all, he is clean and innocent, and he is not willing to bend down to become a male favorite for the sake of power.

☆, expression of mind

"Is the prince also determined to win his sweetheart?" Jing He asked.

Meng Shiqing replied, "Of course not."

Jing He mocked: "It turns out that there are people in this world who look down on the prince."

Meng Shiqing smiled at him meaningfully, and raised a subtle smile, "So what about you?"

"Your Majesty is a man of talent and personable, he is a dragon and a phoenix among men..." Meng Shiqing raised his hand to interrupt Jing He's praise, swept his cold eyes up and down, and said, "Tell the truth."

Jing He shrank his neck, and said out loud, "Of course, there are many ladies from noble families who admire your lord. Since you said that you don't want to win your sweetheart, it seems that your sweetheart is not a lady from an official. The lord comes from a noble family, and he pays attention to the right family in everything...so..."

Meng Shiqing's eyes were focused on Jing He, and he looked at his open and closed lips and asked in a low voice, "According to what you said, do you think you are not worthy of this king?"

"Yes." Jing He nodded honestly.

Meng Shiqing turned his head and smiled and said, "If the king lacks a male favourite, he can go to the male sex building to find someone. Why should he attack the counselors around him?"

Jing He's figure froze, and he couldn't hold back, "It's really unexpected that the prince is so proactive."

Meng Shiqing lowered his head and moved his head closer to Jinghe, spraying ambiguous and humid breath on Jinghe's face, he smiled slightly and said, "What did the king just say?"

Jing He frowned and replied: "What the prince said just now made the grass people mistakenly think that you are pursuing me."

Meng Shiqing suddenly pulled the man into his arms and hugged him gently. A court lady hurried past with her head bowed in the distance. The moment Jing He was hugged, his heart beat faster, blood rushed to his forehead, and his reason was playing in his head like a piano with broken strings. Produce chaotic music.

Meng Shiqing said softly: "It's not a mistake, you're right."

Jing He looked at Meng Shiqing who let go of him, and asked, "How did the prince fall in love with the grassroots?"

Meng Shiqing said: "After watching for a long time, I feel that there are so many people in this world, but you are the most pleasing to the eye."

Jing He looked at Meng Shiqing in a daze, his mind was completely blank, he didn't expect Meng Shiqing to say these words so calmly, "Is the prince telling the truth?"

Meng Shiqing nodded, then stretched out his hand to rub Jing He's head and said with a smile, "What I said was all out of passion. If Xiao Jing thinks something is wrong, don't take it to heart."

Jing He looked at Meng Shiqing for a long time. Under the moonlight, his face was as moist as a spring, his dark eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and his slightly pursed lips made him look a little nervous.

Jing He grinned and said, "I've already kissed you before, so the prince can show his heart."

Hearing what he said, Meng Shiqing knew that he had already acquiesced in this matter, so he immediately relaxed a lot, smiled in relief, and then dragged Jinghe into the room.

"What are you doing, my lord?" Jing He hurriedly followed him.

Meng Shiqing said without turning his head, "There are still some things that haven't been dealt with properly. You stay with me."

Jing He couldn't see his expression, but hearing his indifferent tone, he still looked calm and peaceful, but Jing He took advantage of the dark night to hide his blushing.

Meng Shiqing had to deal with many trivial matters, and there were still some documents that he hadn't finished reading until the middle of the night. Jing He was so sleepy that he dozed off, so Meng Shiqing let him sleep on the couch in the study first, and let the maid carry him Cover him with a thin blanket.The next morning, Jing He woke up to the sound of cocks crowing. After being refreshed early in the morning, he remembered Meng Shiqing's expressive words when he was groggy last night. If he was not in Meng Shiqing's study right now He almost thought he was dreaming.

Jing He got off the couch and stretched, then saw Meng Shiqing falling asleep on the desk not far away.The candles on the two candlesticks on the table had been burned out, leaving a small half of the candles emitting a few wisps of white smoke, and the thick candle wax covered the entire base. Jing He went over to help Meng Shiqing clean up the scattered things on the table. After tidying up, I went out to ask the maid to prepare breakfast.After everything was over, he went back to the desk and leaned against the wooden table to look at Meng Shiqing's sleeping face.

In addition to helping Meng Shiqing deal with the epidemic in the palace these few days, Jinghe almost stayed by Meng Shiqing's side at other times, so he knew how hard Meng Shiqing had worked, and the light blue color in front of his eyes was particularly abrupt on his fair face. He wanted to put his finger up to block the unsightly shadow, but when he saw Meng Shiqing's eyelashes blinking, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"My lord, are you awake?"

Meng Shiqing still seemed a little sleepy. After the drowsiness faded from his face, he smiled slowly at Jinghe and said, "Just call me by my name in private."

"Oh, go wash up, and then have breakfast, you still have a lot of things to deal with. Shi Qing."

What Jing He said was a bit blunt, and his tone was really blunt, but Meng Shiqing laughed very happily when he heard him say this, and said in a voice that was still somewhat hoarse after waking up in the morning: "Xiao Jing speaks nicely, call me again Come and listen."

Jing He glanced at the door, called "Shi Qing" again, and then kept silent, waiting for Meng Shiqing to respond.

Meng Shiqing smiled when he heard him yell again, and nodded to indicate that he heard it.

After the early meal, Jinghe continued to go to the palaces to supervise the medicine work for the prevention and treatment of the epidemic according to the procedures of the previous two days.Many people came to the palace this day, the prime minister who was recuperating in the mansion and Meng Shulang who had been silent for many days also entered the palace.Jing He ran around the palaces for a long time before he realized that these people came to discuss the power affairs after the death of the emperor.He suddenly realized that Meng Shiqing was very likely to be the emperor in the future.

Jinghe finished his work early in the morning and went back to the palace to wait for Meng Shiqing to come back, but he didn't wait for anyone but was called by the subordinates sent by Meng Shiqing first.

When Jing He arrived in the hall, the empress dowager and the ministers were having lunch, and under the leadership of the guards, Jing He walked around to Meng Shiqing's side from the side door. People from the prime minister's faction, including Meng Shulang.

Seeing Jing He sitting down quietly, Meng Shiqing asked in a low voice, "This banquet was added temporarily by the Queen Mother. If I had known about this luncheon earlier, I should have let you follow me in the morning. Are you hungry?"

Jinghe had breakfast early, and when Meng Shiqing returned to the palace, he was already hungry. Now he saw a few stacks of pastries on the table and nodded to Meng Shiqing.

Meng Shiqing signaled him to take it easy with his eyes, raised his head to meet the Queen Mother's cold gaze, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but Jing He didn't notice that there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

The queen mother looked at Jinghe silently, and then turned her eyes away to greet the ministers.

Meng Shiqing took advantage of the scenery and time to eat cakes, and briefly talked about what happened in the morning. Now that the throne is vacant, everything is handled by the Queen Mother.But the queen mother is a woman after all, so Meng Shiqing became the queen mother's assistant, in charge of the memorials handed over by the ministers, and at the same time Meng Shulang assisted in managing those memorials.Although the prime minister is recuperating at home now, many people of his faction still hold important power in the court.

The next step for the Empress Dowager is to take the power of the prime minister and divide it into annexation.

Meng Shiqing said to Jinghe: "Xiaojing and the ninth brother have known each other for a long time, and I would like to ask Xiaojing to do a lot of things that I can't say."

Jing He asked, "What are you talking about?"

Meng Shiqing glanced calmly at Meng Shulang, who from time to time cast his eyes on Jing He, and said with a smile: "The ninth younger brother is just a chess piece used by the prime minister. Simple, I don't want the ninth brother to join this power struggle."

Jing He sneered and said: "These words are high-sounding, but they want me to help you solve an opponent. Let me make it clear first. Although Shu Lang is cowardly, she is also a person with her own opinions. My chances of winning are not great. "

Meng Shiqing turned back to Jing He and said, "Of course, Xiao Jing alone can't convince him. I just want you to shake his determination. Xiao Jing is a smart person and knows what to say is best for me."

Jing He thought for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Is this all in your plan?"

Meng Shiqing said calmly, "Yes."

Jing He nodded and continued to eat those snacks, seemingly unaffected by Meng Shiqing at all.

At the end of the luncheon, Jing He approached Meng Shulang under Meng Shiqing's watchful eye.Meng Shulang was walking on the road with the prime minister. When Jing He stepped forward, the prime minister looked at him for a long time before nodding and walking away.

Meng Shulang didn't seem to expect that Jing He would take the initiative to find him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said happily, "You need me for something?"

Jing He nodded in agreement, and said, "It's not a problem. How are you doing recently?"

Meng Shulang smiled and said, "Very well, many things that could not be done before can now be done with just one word of instruction."

"Shu Lang, are you still the same person I used to know?"

Meng Shulang was stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly and said, "Shulang is always Shulang, I'm afraid Jinghe is no longer Jinghe."

Jing He said: "I will talk about a lot of things. Meng Shiqing's intention is that I came to talk to you today. He asked me to persuade you not to participate in the power struggle between the queen mother's faction and the prime minister. What do you think?"

There was a moment of disappointment on Meng Shulang's face, and then it was replaced by a brilliant smile. He winked at Jing He
