I rely on food to guide the whole harem

Lin Jingyu was sent out to practice because of his meritorious service with the prince in disaster relief. In the officialdom, this is the rhythm of being promoted after returning.

But immediately afterwards, General Xu was sent out to suppress riots/chaos in remote areas, and he was still led by General Xu.

This made things a little more subtle. Both of them were people who clearly stood by the prince. It could be said that they were his right-hand men.

Usually, their nephews and nephews who were on the same side as them followed General Xu's lead. Without General Xu taking the lead, some thorns were unwilling to listen to the pressure of the older generation to favor a prince.

Qi Yangui's recent political views in the court have always been jointly suppressed by others, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. He suspected that His Majesty was no longer ready to let him grow up, and was planning to abolish the crown prince.

A carrier pigeon flew out that night.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have secretly controlled the wives and children of the Third Highness's confidantes. The Third Highness seems to have guessed something and sent someone to protect all the family members of the confidantes. However, we were one step behind and we still succeeded. That person is at least [-]% sure that it will be his wife. We use it." Dark Seven's somewhat mechanical voice came from under the black mask.

"Very good, you've done a good job. I've been an empty shelf for so long, wouldn't it be good to continue to be his sick prince? You still want to compete with me for the throne, you're beyond your control."

"Your Highness, this subordinate is a little puzzled. Although the crown prince is famous this time, this subordinate feels that it is not enough to kill him. This step is too risky."

Hearing this, the fifth prince's eyes froze instantly, and murderous intent surged up: "What should I do, do you need to teach me?" If eyes could kill, An Qi might have died hundreds of times.

An Qi didn't dare to say more, he knew that this master was a cruel one, his whole body trembled when he was looked at, and the fear came from the bottom of his heart: "This subordinate dare not, this subordinate is stupid, how can I know His Highness's thoughts."

"Get out." Looking at the back of An Qi leaving, the fifth prince gradually calmed down. He never knew that this was a dangerous move, but Qi Yangui was so unexpected. He had been seriously ill for many years and suddenly appeared at the birthday banquet. Under the imperial examination proctor.He was already respected by the older generation of military generals, but this time he added civil servants, and made frequent tricks in the impossible disaster relief, and became famous for a while.

Civil servants and military generals, who won the hearts of the people again, have overshadowed him in just a few dozen days, not to mention that the rather mysterious Wen Ruoning has repeatedly advised the prince not to stay, so he had to take this risky move. If you don't have an advantage, you have to bet on the sacred will of the heart.

"I can't lose, otherwise what is the meaning of my life." The fifth prince thought of the teaching he had received from his mother and concubine since he was a child, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

The prince suddenly fell into a coma from the poison, and everyone in the palace was in danger.

"What? The prince has been poisoned?" Shangguan Su in the cold palace got the news and was in a hurry.One day later, before receiving any news from Prince Duqing, Shangguansu ran out of the Leng Palace and rushed into Qingning Palace, regardless of the fact that he would be punished.

Tang Yinjiang was shocked when he heard the news.

Isn't the person who poisoned him already dead?Doesn't the prince need someone to test the poison?

She ran to Qingning Palace, which was heavily guarded now, and Tang Yinjiang couldn't get in. Thinking of the tree she had climbed last time, she was about to try again, but was stopped by Tang Jiu.

"I'll take you in." Tang Jiu didn't ask anything, and after saying this, he led Tang Yin Jiang Feiyan through the wall and entered the prince's bedroom.

Qi Yangui lay unconscious on the bed, his complexion returned to the pale and fragile look when he first saw him.

Shangguan Su stayed at Qi Yangui's bedside worrying all night and couldn't sleep. The woman who was domineering even in the cold palace now has disheveled hair and a haggard face.

Tang Yinjiang never knew about their relationship, but she was still deeply touched. The mourning of a loved one's serious illness can be contagious.

Tang Yinjiang wanted to comfort her, but couldn't say anything.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, and one could even clearly hear the crackling sound of the candle wick burning.

Tang Yinjiang returned to the room and sat quietly in front of the window, "System, why are you binding me?"

"Just for me to cook? But all the dishes I cook are brought by the system, you can bind anyone to do it."

"Where is Lin Jingyu? What is the purpose of his existence?"

The system didn't make a sound, Tang Yinjiang opened the panel and started drawing cards.

"Detoxification card, detoxification card..." Tang Yinjiang murmured his inner expectation over and over again.

But until she used up all the points, she didn't draw a detoxification card.

"Why is there no antidote card..."

"System!" Tang Yinjiang suddenly shouted into the void: "Come out, system!"

The system didn't respond, and Tang Yin and Jiang covered their heads and lay down on the table.

Why am I bound to such a useless system, what else is it useful for except cooking.

"I want to go home, I don't like it here at all..."

It has been two days since the crown prince was poisoned, and the emperor did nothing but send troops to guard Qingning Palace.

"How is the prince?"

"Go back to the emperor, the imperial physicians said, it will only be two days."

The emperor stopped writing, fell silent for a while, and continued to review the memorial, and only got up after finishing all the review.

"Where is His Majesty going?"

"Qingning Palace."

"Putting out Qingning Palace——"

In Qingning Palace, Shangguansu saw Qi Yangui slowly opening his eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Prince doctor! The prince is awake—the doctor comes in quickly."

The imperial physicians who had been researching prescriptions outside heard that the prince had woken up and entered the room one after another, taking turns to check his pulse.

"Emperor doctor, is the medicine effective? Is the prince well?"

All the imperial physicians frowned deeply, not knowing how to answer, when the eunuch sang loudly from outside the door: "Your Majesty is here—"

"Your Majesty, I will see you, long live, long live, long live."

"Flat body."

The imperial physicians looked at each other, and one of them reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this poison has entered the heart and lungs, and I am helpless."

How could the prince be poisoned? It was the emperor, he must have taken action, and he must have the antidote. Shangguansu grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes and begged, "Your majesty, save the prince. You can't be so cruel. He is your child. Your own son!"

The emperor remained silent, with no emotion visible on his face.

Qi Yangui tried his best to raise his hand, as if he wanted the emperor to hold it, but the emperor didn't move.

"Father, I know that you don't like me, cough cough..."

"Now that my son is dying, can I ask you one last thing?"

The emperor's eyes became complicated, but his tone didn't fluctuate much: "Say it."

"Auntie is the only remaining relative of Erchen and mother. I beg my father to treat my aunt well after Erchen is gone."

"allow."

"If it's possible... that palace maid in the imperial dining room is innocent, she was deceived by my ministers, please don't blame her."

"……allow."

The hand dropped, and the prince died.

"Prince! Yan'er!" Shangguan Su's hoarse cry came from Qingning Palace.

The crown prince passed away, and the entire palace was like a taut string.

On the night of the mourning, a black shadow flashed past behind the mourning hall, and the Qingning Palace ignited a raging fire, which seemed to burn all the sins away.

The emperor ordered people to fight the fire with all their strength, but the fire was too strong, so he could only watch helplessly as the dead body of the prince died and suffered from the burning pain.

Looking at the several princes rushing into the palace, the prince's expression did not change even after he passed away. The emperor, who never showed any signs of anger, suddenly slapped the fifth prince hard.

"He's already dead! That's your brother, why don't you even let the corpse go?!"

He once loved his mother sincerely, and he also looked forward to his birth with all his heart.

Loved him, pityed him, resented him, hated him, loathed him, feared him, and finally managed to stand by and watch him die.

This is his first son, born to the person he loves the most.

He knew that Zhao Zhao would never forgive him again.

Tang Yinjiang dreamed again.

This dream was full of warmth and sweetness. It was the process of her getting acquainted with a man, and that man... turned out to be Qi Yangui.

In the dream, her behavior was more purposeful. She had contacted Qi Yangui early on and saw the scenes of him being bullied in Qingning Palace. In the dream, he was weaker and softer. See, she doesn't even have the toughness she had when she pretended to be a little eunuch in reality.

She tried her best to feed him every day, and watched the poor little boy slowly become healthy by her.Regardless of his status and status, he wanted to marry her to be the crown prince and concubine, and she also helped him seize power and position. The two supported each other, avoided all plots and tricks, and went up step by step.

Obviously, it was something that had never happened before, but in a dream, she felt that everything was vivid and deeply engraved in her mind.

At the end of the dream, Qi Yangui suddenly took her hand and looked at her with extremely sad eyes, she felt a little uneasy, "Why do you look at me like that?"

Qi Yangui didn't speak, just stared at her silently, for a long, long time, as if he wanted to impress her image deeply into his heart, and then his figure gradually faded and disappeared.

After waking up from the dream, she felt as if she was in a dream now. The sense of reality in the dream had already made her unable to tell which was real and which was illusion.

Xiaotao came in with ginger soup. It turned out that Tang Yinjiang had a cold last night and had a fever.

Tang Yinjiang took a sip of ginger soup, sobered up, and asked, "How is the prince?"

Seeing Xiaotao's embarrassed face, Tang Yinjiang felt ominous, "Tell me, how is the prince?"

Xiaotao cried: "...the crown prince has passed away, and the palace has begun to prepare for the funeral."

Tang Yinjiang was stunned, the bowl in his hand fell on the bed, and the hot ginger soup soaked the bedding.

Xiaotao quickly lifted the quilt and checked Tang Yinjiang's legs, "Auntie, are you okay? Did you get burned?"

Tang Yinjiang pushed Xiaotao away and ran out the door. White lanterns and flags had already been hung in the palace.

Just like a long time ago, she once saw the scene after the emperor's death in her dream, but she never thought that when she saw this scene with her own eyes, it would be used on Qi Yangui.

It's almost summer, but Tang Yinjiang feels the bone-chilling cold.

She looked at the white palace for a long, long time.

She had never hated this place so much as she did now.
