The prince is difficult

"Since then, the Qiu family has been defeated. Qiu Xingyun's parents witnessed the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and their already weak body was made worse. In the end, they did not survive the winter and passed away one after another. Immediately afterwards, his The married wife dismissed all the servants in the family, and took the only blood of the Qiu family away to another country. After a few years, he also passed away in depression, leaving only the only seedling of the Qiu family. Therefore, Jiner, the Qiu family therefore The family has been ruined, and if you are lucky enough to meet the blood of the Qiu family in the future, you will definitely not treat him badly."

Gong Jin, who habitually sat on the steps outside the bedroom, suddenly remembered a few things Aunt Ye mentioned to him when he was a child. One of them was the Qiu family. The mastermind behind the scenes, Gong Ding resolutely cut off Qiu Xingyun's head in a fit of rage, regardless of the objections of the officials, probably to vent his anger, and also wanted to find a scapegoat for his beloved concubine and emperor.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, nothing less.

After Qiu Xingyun's death, the Qiu family went into decline step by step, and finally had to leave the capital and leave their hometown.

Now it seems that it is not so important to pursue the wrong and right of the events of the year.Things have happened, tragedies have been caused, and everything is irreversible.The only thing that can be done is probably to find out the truth and restore everyone's innocence.

Gong Jin used the branch in his hand to swipe across the ground in a bored way. Through the faint moonlight, he could vaguely see the traces of the two characters——Qiu Bai.

"My surname is Qiu, and my first name is Bai. Bai is for seeking innocence."

In his memory, the young man looked at him coldly and introduced himself like this.

"Qiu Bai, we meet again!" Gong Jin murmured.

"Oh, my lord, you must stop torturing your slaves. If you have another accident, the masters will tear me down." Xiao Xizi just turned around and took a thin Looking at the weather, he was afraid that his master would freeze when he slept at night, but he didn't know that it was only time to turn around, and his master just sat on the steps without even adding a coat.Although it was spring, the temperature at night was relatively low, and there was still a faint icy chill, and it was easy to catch wind chill if one was not paying attention, not to mention that his master's health was not very good all the time.

Gong Jin was taken aback by his sharp voice, then covered her forehead, and whispered, "Oh, I'm a little dizzy from what you said."

Xiao Xizi was stunned, and after a while, she slapped her own mouth, and said with a bitter face, "It's all because of the stinky mouth of this slave, bah bah bah, Your Highness, it's cold outside, let's go back and lie down."

Seeing that he stopped nagging, Gong Jin was also happy to have him waiting on the saddle by his side.He also couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he remembered to take a walk and think about something.

"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Zhong said that you should pay more attention to the weather on weekdays, add clothes when it's cold, and take off a little when it's hot. Don't catch the wind and cold like last time and ignore it. So next time, if you can't sleep at night , Xiao Xizi can talk with His Highness, His Highness can't just go outside to blow the cold wind in such a quiet way. But tomorrow, Imperial Physician Zhong will find out, and I'm afraid he will have to talk about you for a long time..."

Gong Jin shook his head helplessly, thinking that everyone beside him was a nagging old lady, he waved his hands and said, "I'm tired, Xiao Xizi, please step back."

All the affairs before and after Liangchen Palace were taken care of by a little Xizi. It is said that when Concubine Ru first entered the palace, she had treated him well.At that time, several palace concubines were jealous and fought openly and secretly. Xiao Xizi should have been directly transferred to Wanfeng Tower, but the favored concubine Chen stepped in and transferred him to other palaces to serve.Unexpectedly, Concubine Ru suffered misfortune during childbirth, and all the servants inside and outside Wanfeng Tower died in prison.Later, his name was included in Yudie, and Gong Ding placed him beside Concubine Jin to take care of him in order to give him the greatest compensation. Unexpectedly, some people are simply wolves in sheep's clothing, with duplicity in appearance.Five years ago, after he left Liuli Palace, he didn't know where Xiao Xizi got the information, so he begged the emperor to take care of him...

Gong Jin has always been close to the people around her mother and concubine, and with the habits of the past few years, she has lost her airs towards slaves.

Xiao Xizi retreated quietly, and because she was not at ease, she went into the bedroom many times at night to look and look.

Inside the imperial study

"Father, you have to make the decision for the fourth brother." After playing, Gong Yuke did not forget to complain before the imperial court, and explained the matter of Concubine Jin beating Gong Jin for some reason, and finally did not forget that she wanted to beg for Gong Jin Back to justice.

Gong Ding let him pull his wrist, while reading the book, while listening to his complaints, he put down the book helplessly after a while, "Ke'er, Concubine Jin is nominally Jin'er's mother concubine, and the mother concubine educates the children in a timely manner. It's reasonable, and what's more, your fourth brother didn't care, I think I'll let this matter go, it's getting late, if you really can't sleep, you can have a plate with your father."

As soon as Gong Yuke heard about this matter, he let it go, and couldn't help pouting, "Father, father, fourth brother has been ill recently."

Gong Ding was unmoved, and continued to stare at the book in his hand, as if a prince could not stand up to the book in his hand: "Let Doctor Zhong go and see more, if you need any high-quality medicinal materials, go directly to the treasury to get them."

"That's not what fourth brother wants, father, why don't you go and see fourth brother, isn't fourth brother your emperor's son?"

"presumptuous!"

"Father!"

The heavy breath made Gong Yuke a little out of breath, he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Oh." Gong Ding sighed.

"Ke'er, this is the end of your fourth brother's affairs, you should step down now."

Gong Yuke withdrew from the study amidst Gong Ding's indifferent attitude, his whole back was covered in cold sweat, and it was the first time he saw his father in anger.

The whole study room was quiet, Gong Ding closed his eyes, and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Recently, Guo Aiqing and the others have brought up the issue of setting up a crown prince again. If I don't give an answer this time, I'm afraid it will cause disputes between the two parties. Mo, who do you think I should let me inherit my kingdom?"

Mo didn't know when he was standing beside Gong Ding. To his question, he just replied indifferently, "The princes each have their own merits. Your majesty is wise, and you must have the answer."

Gong Ding frowned, and tapped his fingers on the desk for a long time, "Yubo has been away for more than ten years, I miss you very much."

"It is said that the third prince has returned from his studies. Maybe he was hindered by something on the way. His Majesty will be able to see him in a month."

"Well, I will establish a crown prince in a month and announce it to the world."

In the dark night, when the night was quiet, a hidden place in the palace was lit with lights.

The people in the room were walking back and forth, apparently having something to worry about.

"Although King Li Xian is dead, most of his disciples admire the second prince and the fourth prince. The second prince is no longer afraid, but the fourth prince is a bit tricky. Five years ago, we sent someone to push him into the lake and marry him. Concubine Jin, but I don't want to make the emperor angry. But if the emperor loves the fourth prince, why didn't he just take him with him instead of sending him away with a dilapidated palace? .” A scholar-like man shook his head and sighed, with a handsome face, but the words he said made people shudder.

"Although Concubine Ru is crazy, this evil son is very obstructive. I have asked Concubine Jin to test out how the emperor treats him." A gorgeous woman pursed her lips.

"What was the result?" the scholar asked.

"Hmph, the emperor didn't care about it at all, as if he didn't exist, but he kept stuffing the delicious and useful things on Niezi."

"Well, this is strange." The scholar shook his head and murmured, "Could it be that the emperor wants to compensate the fourth prince with this? But if it is compensation, how can he ignore what Concubine Jin did? People are confused."

"Don't continue to think about this evil son. From the perspective of this palace, the emperor's attitude is a bit strange. Why don't you put his matter aside first, and let me test the emperor's bottom line for him. If it's useless, then there's no need to bother us. If that's the case, I'll definitely get rid of him. But..."

"Ma'am, what worries do you have?"

"Concubine Shu is extremely smart. She sent her son out of the palace early and hid for these years. I am worried..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have already received a secret report that the Third Prince is already on his way to Beijing. We just need to prevent him from coming back in time, or simply prevent him from returning to the palace forever. Then the position of the prince, haha."

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you, and make it cleaner."

"Yes."

In recent days, there has been a strange atmosphere circulating in the entire capital. Probably in the early court, Gong Ding faintly revealed that this time he would set the position of crown prince.This caused a group of people in the court to start thinking about his thoughts.

The ministers who have not yet stood in line began to think about who to put the bet on so that they would not lose completely.

With the emperor turning a blind eye, the princes in the palace were also somewhat active, except Gong Jin.

No matter how old he is, but looking at his family background, he has lost a lot to his older brothers and younger brothers. His mother and concubine are still in the cold palace, and everyone in her family is gone. Before that, there was a Li Xianwang who supported his mother and concubine. , but five years ago, King Li Xian also passed away.

After taking him out of the cold palace, his father never expressed anything.Gong Jin had to admit that, in fact, he was an unfavored prince, dispensable, but he was always missed by others.

In the past ten years, ten fingers stretched out are not enough to count the large and small assassinations.

The position of prince is not destined for him.
