There is a small house in the west of the capital, only one street away from the most prosperous Yongxing Street.Just after midnight, a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the house.A man dressed as a guard opened the car curtain and helped the person sitting inside down: "His Royal Highness."

Xiao Cheng coughed twice, and asked, "Have you found out?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The former Shangyi Bureau envoy named Wu Ya lives here."

Xiao Cheng looked at the closed door, his eyes dimmed: "Go in."

The curfew time has long passed, and ordinary people are sleeping peacefully in their sleep at this moment.The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was a faint light in the house, casting a thin silhouette on the window, as if it had been waiting for Xiao Cheng for a long time.

Reason told Xiao Teng that this was most likely a trap.But right now, he couldn't care less about anything else.Even if it was a trap, in order for Shen Huai to know the clues of his whereabouts, he had to jump into it.Fortunately, he brought a group of guards with him tonight, if the people in the house wanted to assassinate him, it would be difficult for him, so he had nothing to worry about.

Xiao Cheng motioned for the guards to open the door.The two guards held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, and pushed the door with the other.In the silence, the creak of the door opening was particularly ear-piercing.

I saw a man in white standing against the backlight in the room, his appearance was beautiful, but his temperament was as clear as ice jade.He bowed to Xiao Cheng and saluted: "Your Highness."

Xiao Cheng's eyes were deep: "Cough...it's you, Lin Qingyu."

Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, and said sarcastically, "Why doesn't Your Highness call me 'Xiao Qingyu'?"

Xiao Cheng raised his hand: "You all back down."

A guard hesitated and said, "Your Highness..."

I don't know if it was because Shen Huai knew the root of the disease left by that sword, or because he heard Lin Qingyu's irony, Xiao Teng's face was extremely pale, but he still did not forget to curl his lips chicly: "This person is just a man with no strength to restrain a chicken. Doctor, is it possible that I can strike Gu’s chest again? Just wait outside.”

After the guards retreated, only Lin Qingyu and Xiao Teng were left in the room.Xiao Cheng stared straight at Lin Qingyu's face, he was attracted by Lin Qingyu's and Jing Chun's similar eyebrows and eyes in the past, only now did he realize how ridiculous he was.

The man in front of him was deeply scheming, sinister and vicious, and all his pursuits and calculations were hidden under his magnificent face.Now that Lin Qingyu appeared here, does it mean that he is the driving force behind all this.

How could such a person be like Jingchun.

Lin Qingyu said: "Your Highness seems to have something to ask me."

Xiao Cheng said word by word: "The palace sash that Wu Ya took out is not Jingchun's."

There are three palace ribbons in total, one for himself, and the other two he gave to Shen Huaishi and Jingchun as a testimony of their childhood friendship.

They met in Changsheng Temple, a noble prince, a bodyguard of the secret guard organization, and a young monk without father and mother.The three have very different personalities—the prince is proud of his talents, the guards are honest and honest, and the little monk is innocent and innocent.Their identities are very different, and they shouldn't have had close contacts. His mother and concubine also taught him that he will be a prince and an emperor in the future, and the emperor does not need friends.But at that time, he was too young, no matter how old he was, he was still a child after all.

During the days when he avoided illness in the Changsheng Temple when he was young, he spent the most relaxing time in his life.He didn't have to fight with his half-brother, he didn't have to be dignified in front of his aunt, and he didn't have to go out of his way to please his father.It seems that he is just a child of an ordinary family with two good friends.

After the illness was over, he and Shen Huaizhi bid farewell to Jingchun and returned to the palace.As a prince, he cannot leave the palace, but Shen Huaizhi can.Every time he goes out of the palace, he visits Jingchun at Changsheng Temple, and sometimes he brings back the letter that Jingchun wrote to him.Until one day, Shen Huaishi couldn't find Jingchun in the Changsheng Temple, and after inquiring, he found out that Jingchun was found by his biological parents and took him home.

There is a huge crowd, and it is not easy for the young two to find Jingchun.Neither he nor Shen Huaizhi thought that seeing Jingchun again would be in the palace.

A group of young eunuchs newly elected to the palace lined up outside the Prison, waiting for the old eunuch to cleanse them.When Shen Huaishi passed by, he heard a familiar sobbing sound, stopped to look, and saw that he and His Highness's good friend were wearing tattered clothes, their faces were dripping with tears, and their noses were red from crying.

Shen Huaizhi rescued Jingchun and led him to find Xiao Cheng.There are strict rules in the palace, and people with unknown origins must not be tolerated.Xiao Teng wanted to send Jingchun out of the palace, but Jingchun was buried in Shen Huaishi's arms, crying out of breath, he said he didn't want to go out of the palace, let alone go home and be beaten by his father.He wanted to stay at the palace, with his two friends.

The eunuch has to have a physical examination every few days, Jingchun can escape for a while, but not for a lifetime.The two were reluctant to let Jingchun cleanse themselves, so Xiao Teng used some tricks to let Jingchun replace a little palace lady who died of a sudden illness.The young Xiao Teng didn't know how much trouble his actions had planted for the future, and he was even complacent about his meticulous arrangements.

Since then, the friendship between the three of them has been continued in the palace, and year after year, quietly, it has gradually deteriorated.

When he grew up, he would do anything for the crown prince.The Heavenly Prison Clan was loyal to him, and he abandoned it as soon as he said it.However, there was only that period of childhood friendship that he couldn't let go of.

Because of his loyalty to him, the emperor father wanted to destroy all the gates of the prison gate. He planned everything, even if he hesitated because of Shen Huaizhi's soft heart in the end, he didn't stop things from happening.Fortunately, he rescued Shen Huaishi.But also because of his soft heart and hesitation, his father was quite dissatisfied with him, so that when Jingchun was asked to marry by the king of the north, he couldn't do anything.

He thought countless times, if he didn't spare Shen Huaishi's life, would he be able to keep Jingchun by his side.

Oddly enough, he wanted to go home, but he never regretted his decision.

On the eve of Jingchun's wedding, the three met secretly.Jingchun embraced him and Shen Huaizhi with tears in his eyes.He tightly held the palace sash that symbolized childhood friendship, and said that he would kill himself before the king of the north found out that he was a man, and he would not even leave the body to the north.In this way, they would not be involved, and Dayu and Beijing would not go to war because of him.

On the day Jingchun got married, he saw Jingchun wearing that palace sash to marry far away in the north.Later, he learned from Tianji Camp that Jingchun lived very well in the northern border, and the king of the northern border loved him in every possible way.He didn't know whether Jingchun had revealed his identity, and this incident became a heavy stone that could overwhelm him at any time.Only by assuming the throne as soon as possible can he protect himself and Shen Huaishi when the incident happens in the future.

The palace sash that Wu Ya took out was not Jingchun's, nor his, so it could only be Shen Huaizhi's.After Jingchun left, Shen Huaishi walked around alone, working on his own affairs, and Lin Qingyu was the only person who had contact with him.

Lin Qingyu...knows the whereabouts of Shen Huaizhi.

Xiao Cheng's eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him: "Where is he?"

Lin Qingyu shook his head: "I don't know."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Teng said out of breath, "If you haven't seen him, how did you find that palace belt?"

"What is your Highness talking about?" Lin Qingyu said, "That palace sash was found by Wu Ya in his room after Princess Jingchun got married."

A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Cheng's face: "You can fool others, but you can't fool Gu. Jingchun's palace belt was taken to the north by him. Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't get his one. You give Shen Huai knows Wu Ya's one."

Lin Qingyu also smiled: "Your Highness is so sure, why don't you tell the emperor and let him punish me for a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth: "Lin Qingyu...!"

Lin Qingyu's appearance was glamorous, but her smile carried an indescribable sense of treachery: "That's right, after all, Concubine Chen Guifei... No, she should be called Chen Shi now. Chen Shi has already pleaded guilty and kept saying that she did it alone. Your Highness doesn't know about this. If you expose me in front of the Holy One and reveal that you are an insider, wouldn't it be a waste of Chen's painstaking efforts."

There was a bloody taste in Xiao Teng's mouth, wishing he could cut this femme fatale into pieces and blow his bones to ashes.His pale lips turned scarlet, and he said in a cold voice, "Gu will ask you again—where is Shen Huaizhi?"

"I'll answer His Highness again, Your Highness listen carefully." Lin Qingyu said, "I don't know where he is. He asked someone else to bring this palace belt to me."

Xiao Cheng's chest heaved violently: "Impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?" Lin Qingyu stepped forward aggressively, "How does Your Highness think I knew the truth back then? Shen Huaizhi's sword can't kill you, nor can you take away your crown prince. Think about it, don't you?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Cheng coughed violently, his eyes were bloodshot, "No matter how much Shen Huaizhi hates me, it is impossible for him to really want to take my life!"

Up to now, Xiao Teng has even forgotten the noble self-proclaimed symbol of status, and it is not far from completely losing control if he thinks about it.

Lin Qingyu sneered.Shen Huaizhi took Xiao Cheng's life with a sword that day, whether he missed it or was soft-hearted, it seems that he already has the answer.

"This palace belt was indeed handed over to me by Guard Shen voluntarily. Guard Shen is very skilled and good at hiding himself. Even the Tianji Camp couldn't find his whereabouts. I am a mere doctor who has no power to restrain a chicken. It’s impossible to force him.” Lin Qingyu stared coldly at the aura-enhanced “protagonist” with those eyes that were very similar to Jingchun, “You said he couldn’t really want to take your life, but you succeeded because of his sword. With this sickly look, he is not even as good as the young master Lu, is this soft-hearted or cruel-hearted?"

Xiao Cheng's eyes were wide open, his once romantic and handsome face was incomparably ferocious, his frivolous and frivolous eyes in the past only left strong love and hatred.

Lin Qingyu smiled: "Perhaps, he really didn't want to kill you. You saved him, but the gates of heaven also died because of you. After you rescued him, did you treat him kindly? You humiliated him unscrupulously on the bed. He got out of your bed and would sacrifice his life for you. He suffered countless injuries, big and small, because of you, and almost died several times. What's the point of killing you with a sword? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for you to suffer so much, to be betrayed by everyone, to be abandoned by the emperor, to be reduced to nothing by Dayu?!"

Xiao Cheng's legs retreated uncontrollably, leaning against the pillar, his lips trembled, and he said in a daze: "No...it won't..."

"I have told His Highness what the facts are." Lin Qingyu said calmly, "It is His Highness's choice whether to believe it or not."

Xiao Cheng's face turned purple, and he raised his eyes to see the tear mole in the corner of Lin Qingyu's eyes, and with a bang, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. "Come, come here..." Blood continued to flow from his mouth, soaking the four-clawed python on his chest, "Come here!"

The guard waiting outside the door heard the movement and rushed in immediately: "Your Highness!"

The two supported Xiao Teng, one on the left and the other on the right.The third person drew his sword and put it on Lin Qingyu's shoulder: "Bold Assassin, what have you done to Your Highness!"

Lin Qingyu looked at Xiao Teng condescendingly: "If you hurt me at all, you will never see him again in this life."

Xiao Cheng closed his eyes deeply: "...Go back to the palace."

Lin Qingyu smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness, please walk slowly, I will not see you off soon."

The third watch has passed, Gu Fuzhou waited quietly in the side room, and listened to the big drama.He knew that tonight there was only Wen Dou and no fighting, but just in case, he still surrounded the mansion with his cronies.

When the guards broke in, he was still a little uneasy.But his wife is worthy of being his wife, and he can get away with just a few words.

Lin Qingyu pushed open the door of the side room, and Gu Fuzhou greeted him with a yawn: "It's over?"

Lin Qingyu nodded: "Xiao Cheng vomited blood."

Vomiting blood should be a serious matter.When he started vomiting blood, his body deteriorated rapidly, and he died before Lin Qingyu's eyes within a few months.

Gu Fuzhou took off his cloak, put it on Lin Qingyu, and put his hand on Lin Qingyu's hair: "Call work and go home."

After Xiao Cheng returned to the East Palace, he fell ill. Everyone thought that he was mentally hurt because of Chen's entry into the Leng Palace.Although the crown prince has become a medicine jar since the "sudden illness" last year, the imperial doctor also said that as long as he takes care of himself, he can still live sick for decades.This time he was so angry that his old injury recurred and he fell into a coma.

Xiao Cheng's illness was so serious that he could no longer take care of the government. The emperor ordered to take back the token of Tianjiying from him.At this time, Ning Wang Xiao Jie was ordered to investigate Xixia's secret work, and there was a shortage of manpower around him, so this secret guard organization dedicated to working for the royal family came to Xiao Jie's hands.

Misfortunes never come singly.The East Palace was gloomy, and the Qinzheng Palace had not seen the emperor for many days.After the beginning of summer, the weather gradually became hotter, and the emperor's condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious.The entire Tai Hospital, including Lin Qingyu, who has no official position, was devastated by the illness of these two people, but it was still difficult to see any results.

The emperor was tortured to death by the head wind.He felt a shovel in his head, hitting his brain one after another.The emperor's groans echoed day and night in the bedroom, and in the end, he couldn't even cry out.

The imperial physicians were helpless, and the emperor could only pin his hope on Lin Qingyu.He hoped that Lin Qingyu would save him a second time, and even gave him the position of deputy judge of the Supreme Hospital.Lin Qingyu lived up to his expectations and prescribed a new medicine for him.The emperor did not have a headache after taking it, but it was followed by a long period of lethargy.He was in a daze all day long, and he didn't know the morning and night when he was awake-he seemed to feel no pain.

As Lin Rushan was the head of the imperial hospital, no medicine the emperor used could escape his eyes.He found Lin Qingyu, hesitantly said: "Qingyu, the medicine you gave His Majesty..."

Lin Qingyu said: "Your Majesty said he doesn't want to be hurt anymore, so I won't let him hurt. I'm following the imperial decree, so father doesn't need to worry too much."

Lin Rushan was still very worried: "Do you know what you are doing? The crown prince and the Chen family will not talk about it. If the queen and Prince Ning know about this, will they allow you to do this?"

Lin Qingyu smiled reassuringly: "Father, don't worry, I know it well. Don't worry about this matter."

Lin Rushan let out a long sigh: "Alright, I can never control you. Be careful in everything."

The emperor and prince fell ill one after another, and the heavy responsibility of supervising the country naturally fell on King Ning's shoulders.In the past, Xiao Jie was just an embroidered pillow with ostentatious appearance. His birth mother was humble and he had no talent or virtue. No one thought that one day Dayu's world would be under his control.The ministers who were close to Xiao Jie were not convinced at first, but they had to accept the errands given to Xiao Jie by the emperor.

State affairs are busy, and Xiao Jie has not returned to Prince Ning's Mansion for many days.He took Xi Rong to live in the side hall of Qinzheng Palace. While taking care of everything, he didn't forget to attend to his father's illness and pay his respects to his aunt.After a few months, Xiao Jie has earned a reputation of hard work, loyalty and filial piety.

On this day, Lin Qingyu was invited by King Ning to the Palace of Qinzheng.The person who came to pass him said that King Ning felt unwell occasionally, and asked him to go and see.When he arrived at the side hall of Qinzheng Hall, he saw Xiao Jie lying on the desk and sleeping soundly, with a pen in his hand, and some ink stains on his nose.

Lin Qingyu said softly: "My lord?"

Xi Rong's voice came from behind: "Doctor Lin is here."

Lin Qingyu turned around and looked.During this period of time, he and Xi Rong often met in the palace.Compared to when he was in the palace, Xi Rong was several times busier, but his face did not show any signs of fatigue, on the contrary, he was full of vigor and radiance.He seems to be enjoying his days.

Lin Qingyu laughed inexplicably.Xi Rong personally poured him a cup of tea, and asked politely, "What is Imperial Doctor Lin laughing at?"

"I laugh at Steward Xi and the general as two extremes." Lin Qingyu took the tea handed by Xi Rong, "The busier Butler Xi is, the more energetic he is. If it were my housemate, I'm afraid it would take less than two days. Complain loudly and walk away."

A strange look flashed across Xi Rong's eyes.When Lin Qingyu said to change his family, he said it casually, or he meant something.

"General Gu worked hard for the country and the country, and for the peace of the Northwest. In order to allow the general to rest and recuperate, the prince has spared him his daily morning court." Xi Rong said with a smile, "Or does Imperial Physician Lin have other requirements?"

"No, that's fine." Lin Qingyu looked at Xiao Jie, "Butler Xi let the prince fall asleep like this? Although it's summer, it's still cold in the morning and evening. At this time, the prince can't fall ill anymore."

"Doctor Lin wait a moment."

Xi Rong walked up to Xiao Jie, leaned over and hugged him horizontally.Xiao Jie woke up from the dream, saw Xi Rong's face, and called out "A Rong" in a daze.Xi Rong said softly, "I'll take you to sleep in the bedroom."

Xiao Jie nodded, put his arms around Xi Rong's neck, and closed his eyes again.

Xi Rong settled Xiao Jie, returned to the side hall, and apologized to Lin Qingyu: "Doctor Lin has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Qingyu had already drank half of a cup of tea: "Is there anything important for Butler Xi, but it's okay to say."

The two get what they need, and they have formed an alliance for a long time, and they no longer beat around the bush like they used to.Xi Rong said: "The prince has supervised the country for a while, I wonder if Imperial Physician Lin is still satisfied?"

"What Steward Xi said is interesting." Lin Qingyu said, "Whether you are satisfied or not, you should ask the Holy One what I do."

Xi Rong said with a smile: "Then Imperial Physician Lin thinks, who should open this mouth?"

Lin Qingyu looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"We need someone in the early stage. This person should be a civil servant who is trusted by His Majesty, and an intermediary who will not be too close to the Crown Prince or King Ning." Xi Rong said, "Your Majesty's illness is getting worse day by day, sober The time is getting less and less. I still hope that His Majesty can give the prince a just name when he is awake. Physician Lin Bingxue is smart and should understand what I mean."

Lin Qingyu said slowly: "Butler Xi has been dormant for many years, how come he has no patience now?"

Xi Rong was dressed in fine attire, obviously an eunuch, but he seemed to be born superior, more like a prince than Xiao Jie: "Because I have been dormant for many years, I have waited for too long, so I don't want to wait now."

Lin Qingyu said: "Haste makes waste, butler Xi, be safe and don't be impatient."

Xi Rong bowed and saluted with humility and respect: "If that's the case, I would like to thank Dr. Lin."

Lin Qingyu and Gu Fuzhou have been planning for a long time, but now they are only one step away from achieving their goal.What Xi Rong wanted was justified, but it was nothing more than an edict to establish the reserve.

This is not difficult.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prince's party can no longer make waves.Even if the Holy One cared about the relationship between father and son and left him a crown prince, how long could he sit with his body.Even if the emperor walks in front of the crown prince and the crown prince is able to ascend the throne, how can a new emperor who is dying soon be able to secure a stable position in Dayu Wanli.Now it is just a matter of sending someone to bring the matter of changing the crown prince to the public.

Gu Fuzhou was echoed by all the military officers, it was fine for him to speak up, but if he was a little careless, he might be charged with mutiny and forced palace.People's words are scary, Lin Qingyu doesn't care what others think, but he can't stand his husband being criticized by others.The best candidate is the Marquis of Nan'an who was originally requested by Xiao Jie.Xi Rong was hinting at him to go to Nan'an Houshang to try to change the memorabilia of the crown prince.

Xi Rong is so impatient, which shows his ambition.At this time, Lin Qingyu was not in a hurry.Now Xiao Jie is in charge of the country, and behind him are Gu Fuzhou and the queen, and he is also holding a seriously ill emperor. The two sides are evenly matched, so Xi Rong has the courage to teach him how to do things.When Xiao Jie becomes the crown prince, with time, his wings will gradually flourish. At that time, he can only dream of being equal to them.

He and Gu Fuzhou tried their best to drag the emperor and his son into trouble, not for the half-brothers Xiao Jie and Xi Rong.

Lin Qingyu put down the teacup: "I haven't finished my sentence, so why don't housekeeper Xi thank me?"

Xi Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Doctor Lin means...?"

"I can give the prince a just name, but I have three conditions."

"Doctor Lin, please tell me."

"First, I want the token of Tianji Camp."

Xi Rong's face changed slightly, and he said with a half-smile: "What else?"

"Secondly, in addition to the capital cavalry battalion, the imperial guards in the palace are also under the command of General Gu." Lin Qingyu said, "Thirdly, if the prince succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, the current empress and the future empress dowager can listen to the government behind the curtain. "

The only remaining smile on Xi Rong's face faded away, and he said slowly: "Doctor Lin is so ambitious, why doesn't he become the emperor himself?"

Lin Qingyu said: "You call me 'Emperor Lin'. How can an imperial physician become the Ninth Five-Year Master?"

Xi Rong sneered: "Doctor Lin may not be telling the truth."

"The words have been made clear. It will not be too late for Housekeeper Xi and the prince to give me an answer after consideration." Lin Qingyu said, "But it's best not to make me and the general wait too long. The night is long and there are many dreams. What if the majesty wakes up one day."

Xi Rong watched Lin Qingyu walk to the door, and suddenly said: "Doctor Lin, please stay. I have one more thing, I want to ask Doctor Lin and the general what they mean."

"Say."

"Since the matter of Princess Jingchun has been exposed in the northern border, should the court preemptively strike? Dayu's only king with a different surname is always a hidden danger."

"No need, the imperial court is short of troops and food and grass, so we can do our best to deal with the war in the northwest." Lin Qingyu said, "As long as Jingchun is with the king of the northern border, the northern border will not invade the imperial court."

Xi Rong asked: "How does Imperial Physician Lin know?"

Lin Qingyu was noncommittal.He also asked Gu Fuzhou the same question, and Gu Fuzhou told him:

"If the story of Xiao Teng and Shen Huaizhi is a bucket of sadomasochistic love, reunion after a broken mirror, whoever eats the disgusting swill; then the story of the king of the north and the princess of Jingchun is a sweet cookie from the beginning to the end. For them For me, being in love is the most important thing.”
