Xiao Jingyuan glanced at Si Ruihan, turned his arm and touched him, and said in a low voice, "You are not as good as I can drink. I can't get drunk after so many glasses of wine. Concubine Duan is like this on weekdays, and neither are you." You must be inspired by him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard muffled humming beside him, and when he looked again, Si Ruihan's face was pale with cold sweat on his forehead, and blood was also overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Jingyuan was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to grab his arm, his hand was stained with the blood spat out by the other party, "Ruihan, you..."

Si Ruihan turned his head to look at him, held his hand tightly, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

At this moment, everyone also noticed them, Xiao Chengfeng became furious, terminated the banquet, and ordered martial law in the palace, only allowed to enter but not to exit.

Wen Chengxian asked Xiao Jingyuan to take people all the way to the prince's bedroom, and upon entering the room, he saw the imperial physician waiting there, and Xiao Jingyuan's hands were still stained with the blood that Si Ruihan had just spat out.

The old doctor stopped him, and the house was busy going in and out. Xiao Jingyuan stood there stupidly, looked down at his hands, and suddenly raised his hands and slapped himself.

If it wasn't for himself, Si Ruihan wouldn't drink that glass of wine. He is such a high-minded person, there is no reason to do such an impolite thing, and there is no need to insist on drinking himself because of Duanfei's words. Wine in hand.

This person, obviously he was the one who got hurt, why did he need to comfort himself, why did he still worry about whether he would be afraid, after all he...

The old prime minister hurried over, looked at Xiao Jingyuan who was standing there, glanced at the blood on his face and sighed, this is really a bad fate.

Soon the imperial physician in the room retreated, and when they saw Wen Chengxian and Xiao Jingyuan, they knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"How's the situation?" Wen Chengxian asked.

The old doctor shook his head, "This poison is so strong that the old minister can barely protect Mr. Si's heart veins. If he wants to detoxify and save his life, forgive me... there is nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan staggered a bit, then stepped forward and grabbed the old doctor's collar, "I don't listen to your nonsense, if you can't cure me, I will..."

"Prince!" Wen Chengxian suddenly said from the side, then walked over and grabbed Xiao Jingyuan's arm and broke his hand away.

"The emperor is still at the banquet, the prince should help you relieve father's worries." Wen Chengxian said lightly.

Xiao Jingyuan shook hands, shook his head, "Father, Ruihan..."

"You are the prince of the first dynasty, and he is your companion and minister. Even if he dies, it is his duty to protect you." Wen Chengxian said with a suppressed voice.

Xiao Jingyuan clenched his hands tightly. He instinctively wanted to refute, but the words came to his lips but he didn't say anything. Wen Chengxian pressed his shoulder hard, "There is a queen father here, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xiao Jingyuan stood there silently watching, walked around for a few steps, finally turned around and left, returned to the banquet, looked at the kneeling concubine Duan and the little eunuch shrunk into a ball, he felt overwhelmed. The body is cold.

That night, Xiao Chengfeng beheaded everyone who had touched that cup of wine, Concubine Duan was thrown into limbo, and the mother clan behind her was also confiscated and exiled.

This is the first time Xiao Jingyuan has faced the strong killing intent directed at him so directly, and the vicious curse of Concubine Duan is still ringing in his ears. It was piping hot.

Two days later, Wen Chengxian invited a famous doctor who was traveling abroad through the Wen family, and it took three days to save Si Ruihan's life, but since then he lost his internal strength and martial arts, and could no longer dance the sword.

Si Ruihan was brought back to the prime minister's mansion by the old prime minister. A month later, he returned to Xiao Jingyuan's side again, and was still his companion. Xiao Jingyuan stood under the acacia tree they planted together in the palace, quietly watching the obvious The weak Si Ruihan twitched his lips.

"Rui Han, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm thinking like crazy."

Followed by the voice of flying flowers, the two young men stood silently under the tree, nothing changed, but everything seemed to change again in this torrent.

Closing his eyes, Xiao Jingyuan took a deep breath, "I'll be thinking about it, it's still early, even if I want to go, I'll have to go through the winter, but if I want you to go with me, would you like to go?" ?”

Si Ruihan was silent for a long time, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jingyuan, struggled for a while, "...willing to..."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, "That's good. I still have a memorial to correct, so I'm going to the Imperial Study. I'll come over to have lunch with you. Remember to wait for me."

"I know it."

After Si Ruihan sent Xiao Jingyuan away, he sat on the soft bed and looked at the blue and white porcelain cup Xiao Jingyuan used, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

Perhaps, this step of his... is not known if he is on the right track.

Having prepared a sumptuous lunch but did not wait for the emperor to arrive, Concubine Hui angrily smashed the glazed flower statue in her hand. She clenched her fists tightly and narrowed her eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Jingyuan ate very happily. Si Ruihan poured him a bowl of sweet soup, which made him beautiful for a long time. Even Li Fu, who was serving him, could see that he seemed to be in a good mood today.

After lunch, Xiao Jingyuan sat for a while and then went to the imperial study, while Si Ruihan walked to the study beside him, writing with a pen, but his heart seemed not as peaceful as before.

Xiao Jingyuan's recent actions echoed in his mind, and he, who has always been smart, had to admit that he really couldn't see or guess what the other party was planning...

At the same time, Concubine Hui also went to the residence of the Empress Dowager, and when she heard the news, the Empress Dowager who was still meditating on the Buddha opened her eyes. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the Buddha statue in front of her.

"You said... Concubine Hui is here?"

"Yes, Concubine Hui is here, and she is waiting outside at this time." The maid beside the Emperor Dowager said in a low voice.

The imperial concubine closed her eyes again, and the maid retreated when she saw this. Concubine Hui knew that the maid was blaming herself for making decisions without authorization when she saw the maid coming out alone.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Hui knelt directly outside the door. The maid went in to report again when she saw this, and came out soon. Then think about where the mistake is, or go back earlier."

Concubine Hui quietly clenched her hand by her side, "I will reflect on myself."

The only thing she can rely on in the palace is Xiao Jingyuan's concubine mother. She is very clear that it is the other party's arrangement that she can get to the present, and she also knows that once she shows a little resistance, she will lose everything completely and be abandoned in this deep palace. In the inner garden.

Concubine Hui knelt for nearly an hour before Empress Dowager walked out of the ancestral hall, glanced at some weak people on the ground, and the maid beside her walked over quickly, "Your Majesty, get up."

Concubine Hui bowed to the imperial concubine from a distance, then stood up with the help of the maid beside her, and then followed the maid into the bedroom, looking at the imperial concubine sitting beside her, she planned to salute, but was waved by the empress dowager Stop it, and then order someone to give you a seat.

When she sat down, Concubine Hui felt that her legs were already numb, but she could not complain or dissatisfy at all, suppressing the resentment in her heart, she spoke weakly.

"The concubine, the concubine is also reckless for a while, worried..."

"Your queen... is not something you can fight. If you are not sure, what you do will not be of any use, but it will only deepen the emperor's suspicion."

The imperial concubine stared at Concubine Hui for a long time, she could clearly see the unwillingness in the other party's eyes, and then she smiled coldly, "I didn't know that the person I chose was so thoughtful."

Concubine Hui was startled in her heart, she suddenly raised her head and wanted to say something, but under the cold eyes of the Emperor Dowager, her heart was beating like thunder, and a faint look from the Emperor Dowager made her terrified.

"Since ancient times, a man has been established as a queen. This is an unchangeable rule. Even the birth mother of a prince can be honored as a concubine. It is a gift in recent years. But you have other ideas..." Concubine Dowager squinted at her.

"Could it be that you think you can beat the talented man in the prime minister's mansion, the astonishingly talented Young Master Fengyu?"

"The concubine...the concubine just feels..." At this point, Concubine Hui stopped.

The imperial concubine closed her eyes, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said in a flat tone, "It is the emperor who always weighs the pros and cons. Besides, the queen and the emperor have known each other for many years, and she almost lost her life because of the emperor. The emperor loves the emperor." And it should."

"I value you not because I want you to think about defeating the queen all day. In this harem, a woman gives birth to a prince... that's fine. The queen will always be the queen, and it will not change until death."

Concubine Hui stood up and saluted with the help of the maid after hearing what the imperial concubine said, and then left. The imperial concubine closed her eyes and played with the beads in her hand, silent.

After the beating, Concubine Hui also rested her mind, and a few days passed without incident...

"Today, I discussed with the Prime Minister and General Li, and decided to go south."

In the past few days, Xiao Jingyuan would go to Tenghui Pavilion for lunch and dinner every day. Although he wanted to take the opportunity to stay overnight, every time he saw Si Ruihan's alienated attitude, he knew that there was no rush for this matter, so he just let it go.

He will also talk to Si Ruihan about the affairs of the court every day, and will also ask the other party's opinion very humbly. Give Xiao Jingyuan some advice.

"The Prime Minister and General Li have agreed, and the emperor must have already made arrangements." Si Ruihan said shallowly.

"I don't know if the emperor intends to investigate openly or secretly?"

"It must be an unannounced visit, and... I plan to let you go with me, and you agreed before." Xiao Jingyuan's eyes flickered with an inexplicable light, which made it difficult for Si Ruihan to recover for a while.

Seeing Si Ruihan in a daze, Xiao Jingyuan smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes, "Having been in the palace for so long, it's boring to stay here all the time, so it's always a good thing to take this opportunity to go out and meet him. "
