A month later, Zhu Yuanfeng, who was out of the palace, finally waited for Princess Jing, and he was stopped in a teahouse.

"My lord, the miscellaneous family really can't help you." Zhu Yuanfeng refused again.

However, Concubine Jing knelt down on the spot, Zhu Yuanfeng frowned, and quickly got up to get out of the way, "My lord, this is impossible."

"Eunuch Zhu, the children miss their father, and the women in the house miss their husbands. We don't ask for a meeting, but just hope that a little thought can comfort the prince." Concubine Jing asked someone to bring a burden, which contained some food and women's needlework. , as well as flower drums for children to play with, wood carvings, "I beg you to help me and give it to the prince."

"It's against the rules." Zhu Yuanfeng questioned.

"Eunuch Zhu..." Concubine Jing's eyes were full of tears. During this period of time, she was cold-eyed, and she was also suffering from anxiety and suffering. She was weak and helpless, and she looked very pitiful. "If you don't agree, I won't get up."

Zhu Yuanfeng showed hesitation, his eyes could not help falling on the flower drum and wooden carvings, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I can't take it away today, tomorrow...the empress is waiting outside the palace, and someone will come to collect it."

Concubine Jing burst into tears when she heard this, and said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law." She handed over a few bank notes, but Zhu Yuanfeng confiscated them.

Princess Jing was in a complicated mood, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Zhu Yuanfeng nodded, "But remember, don't bring paper with you, otherwise you and I will be in trouble, and it will be bad for King Jing."

Princess Jing lowered her eyes, "...OK."

King Jing was imprisoned in this one-third of an acre of land. Except for the little eunuch who served him, he didn't see anyone. At the beginning, he was depressed and hysterical, but he finally returned to calmness. He seemed to be forgotten. .But when she saw the basket of things that the princess sent, the food, needlework, and the child's flower drum and bell, tears filled her eyes.

He asked Zhu Yuanfeng to send a message, telling his wife and children that everything was fine, and asked him to wait patiently.

If the emperor didn't want to kill him, he wouldn't have kept him locked up like this. King Jing knew very well that when the contest between the emperor and the crown prince was settled, it was the day he left the palace.

Zhu Yuanfeng was unwilling at first, but King Jing begged again and again, and could only pass on a message for him again, and he couldn't let go of his hands after this back and forth, which gave Qin Hai a chance.

But as Shang Jinling said, Zhu Yuanfeng would not deliberately let him go, Qin Hai had to figure out a way for himself.

"Master, our people have never been able to find a chance. Eunuch Zhu has been sending people inside and out to check the things that Princess Jing sent in. Even the sewn cloth bags have to be removed first, so they can't be hidden. What should I do?" the little eunuch asked. reported.

"What should we do?" Qin Hai paced around the room, "Then change our people."

"Would this be too risky?"

"What is risk-free, tell them that after the matter is completed, the family will take care of them for them."

"Yes."

When Zhu Yuanfeng was waiting for the emperor to come out, Xiao Qi came to his side and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, Shunzi suddenly developed a rash. The imperial doctor has seen it, and it won't go away for a while."

Shunzi is the eunuch guarding Jinghua Palace, if Princess Jing wants to send things in, she must go through his hands.

"Then change, who came to you?"

"Xiaofu."

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled, "I really can't tell, that kid is silent, he thinks he's quite honest."

Xiao Qi was very angry and said: "If it wasn't for you, father-in-law, he would have been beaten to death by Qin Hai long ago. I didn't expect to have evil intentions!"

"It's a bitter trick, I guess Eunuch Qin is also very reluctant to use this chess piece." Zhu Yuanfeng was not angry, but just sighed softly, "Even this matter will implicate you, and you will suffer."

Xiao Qi shook her head, "Don't worry, father-in-law, even if you torture him severely, the slave will not know anything."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

Xiao Fu is an honest-looking little eunuch who never shows up and works very dutifully, but tonight, he walked into Jinghua Palace with a basket in his hand.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the concubine has brought something."

King Jing was reading a book. Hearing this, he raised his head and said in surprise, "So fast?"

"Yes, the princess misses you."

After Xiaofu finished speaking, he put the basket on the table, but he didn't leave in a hurry. King Jing only looked up at him at this moment, and felt that his face was unfamiliar, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is Shunzi?"

"He had a rash on his body and was recuperating, so Eunuch Zhu sent his servants here."

King Jing did not doubt that he was there, and walked towards the basket, but just as he opened it, he saw a letter clearly placed on it, his heart skipped a beat, and his sharp eyes were only on Xiaofu, who lowered his eyebrows and said sympathetically: "Your Highness, the princess is begging the master, but the master is soft-hearted and can't help it. Let's see how to reply."

The name of the master is intriguing, but it is definitely not Zhu Yuanfeng.

After being imprisoned for so many months, Zhu Yuanfeng never said a single unnecessary word to him, let alone inquired about anything.

King Jing opened the letter suspiciously, and Liu Ke's dog with claws and claws rushed in front of him. His heart skipped a beat. After reading the letter clearly, he sneered and asked, "What if the king doesn't agree?"

Xiao Fu still lowered his head, "If you are not in the palace, the concubine and the young masters will be alone and helpless."

King Jing grabbed the paper tightly with his hand, his face turned ferocious, "He dares!"

Xiao Fuan was quiet and didn't speak.

King Jing suddenly stood up, paced back and forth on the ground, his pace became faster and faster, and finally stopped suddenly: "I don't know what to say!"

Xiao Fu raised his head and smiled slightly, "If King Jing didn't know, you should have refused, but you hesitated so much, it seems that you still know."

King Jing couldn't say anything to refute, he stared at Xiao Fu, but the latter remained unmoved.

"It's not good for him to know." He said in frustration.

Xiao Fu said: "This is a question that the master should consider, the slave just obeys orders."

King Jing looked outside the house, and suddenly he laughed, "I never thought that Zhu Yuanfeng was Lao Qi's man."

Xiao Fu didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

King Jing nodded heavily, "Okay, he thinks the prince is sitting too securely, so I will fulfill him." King Jing's eyes were full of malice, "Where's the pen and paper?"

"The servant brought it here." Xiao Fu placed the Four Treasures of the Study on King Jing's desk.

"You go outside and wait."

"Yes."

King Jing didn't hesitate, and sat down to write. With the disgusting things that Emperor Shun did, if he were Liu Ke, he would absolutely hate such a dirty father. All the misfortunes were caused by this superior emperor!

He wrote down everything that the imperial concubine had told her before she died. He had held it in his heart for too long, and suddenly he felt a sense of joy. He wrote very quickly. Liu Ke wanted to be the prince comfortably, is it possible?

Since he is having a hard time, then no one in this capital should think about it!

When King Jing handed the letter to Xiaofu, he reminded him coldly, "Tell him, this king has answered everything in detail, and he has not concealed anything. I hope he can keep his promise."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Xiaofu took the letter, picked up the basket and left.

In the middle of the night, Emperor Shun was awakened by Qin Hai, he said displeasedly: "What's the matter?" Disturbing his sleep, the emperor looked extremely pale.

Qin Hai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the northwest."

Emperor Shun was startled slightly, his brows were tightened, "Xuan, help me up."

The weather had warmed up recently, and the emperor thought it was troublesome, but he put on an outer garment and turned on the lights. He squinted his eyes and read the emergency report, and his mood sank immediately.

"Your Majesty, is something important happening in the northwest?"

Emperor Shun looked dignified, with a hint of irritability, "Duke Xiling is seriously ill."

No matter how much Xiling Gong was feared by the emperor, but he was like a magic needle in the northwest, but no one refuted it. Even if he was not in Shamen Pass, even if he brought [-] troops in Yuhua Pass, it was enough to make the Xiongnu afraid.

Emperor Shun was not stupid, he would not arrogantly think that Qi Feng could replace Duke Xiling just because Qi Feng had repelled the Xiongnu in the past few years.Without the Shang family in charge, do you think the Xiongnu would just harass them in a small way?

"It's fine, why is Duke Xiling seriously ill at this time?" Qin Hai couldn't help but wondered.

"I'm over 80 years old." Emperor Shun himself was [-] years old, and he was quite afraid at the thought of death. At the beginning, Duke Xiling guarded the rivers and mountains for him.

"Your majesty, the northwest..."

"Tell Qi Feng, don't move the Shang family's army anymore, if the Xiongnu army comes, he won't be able to resist it at all."

"Yes."

"I remember that several granddaughters of the Shang family are also outstanding generals."

Qin Hai thought for a while and said, "This servant has also heard about it."

Emperor Shun thought about his words, "Prepare an imperial decree for the Shang family. If Shamenguan needs it, he can join the army for... the ancestor."

Qin Hai didn't dare to delay, so he immediately complied. After leaving the door, he immediately gave the little apprentice a face, and the latter was ordered to run away in a hurry.

Emperor Shun didn't feel much sleepy when he got up. He wanted to touch Shang's family because Liu Ke could get only Yongliang, but now he was not easy to move. He was suspicious by nature, and after thinking about it, he asked someone to investigate again. I saw a little eunuch hurried in, "Your Majesty, the commander of the imperial army is here to see you."

At this time... Emperor Shun had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still nodded, "Xuan."

The commander of the imperial army was surnamed Wan. After Qi Feng went to the northwest, he took over. He knelt on the ground on one knee, and then presented a letter, "Your Majesty, I found this from an eunuch."

There was no signature on the envelope, nor was it opened. Emperor Shun tore it open and took out the letter inside.

Commander Wan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, not daring to look more, when suddenly he heard a noise, and then a cup of tea was thrown to the ground with a bang, "Come here!"

The emperor's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger, even the cup of tea couldn't hold it back. Commander Wan couldn't help being startled even if he had confidence in his heart, and quickly fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Qin Hai hurried in with a look of astonishment, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Emperor Shun ignored him, his gaze was sharp and menacing, even though Commander Wan didn't raise his head, the back of his neck was still horribly stabbed.

"Who else has read this letter?" Emperor Shun asked sullenly.

Commander Wan's voice trembled, "No, no, as soon as the humble job is obtained, it will be sent to the emperor, and I dare not open it."

Emperor Shun looked at him uncertainly, as if trying to discern the truth of the words, Commander Wan was stiff and did not dare to move. Finally, Emperor Shun looked away and ordered: "Go and give the eunuch to me. Bring it up, and everyone in Jinghua Palace will immediately guard it and give it to me for interrogation!"

Commander Wan took a deep breath and replied heavily, "Yes."

Then Emperor Shun said loudly, "Qin Hai, bring Zhu Yuanfeng to me!"

Qin Hai was secretly happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He went down to give instructions with a worried look, and then turned back quickly.

"Your Majesty..." He brewed a pot of tea again and put in soothing incense tablets, "Calm down, this servant still doesn't know what happened."

"Look for yourself." Emperor Shun threw the unsigned envelope to him, Qin Hai hurriedly took it, pretended to open it, and then opened his eyes wide as he read, "This...who wrote this?"

"Liu Lang!" Emperor Shun gritted his teeth, "Sure enough, Mrs. Wang told him everything!"

Qin Hai was speechless in his heart, seeing Emperor Shun's frantic look, he couldn't help admiring Liu Ke's killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, Zhu Yuanfeng was brought in and knelt in front of the emperor. He was not on duty today, so he was arrested from the bed. He didn't even put on his clothes properly, and his hair was disheveled.Seeing the terrified look in the hall, he couldn't help looking at Emperor Shun with doubts and fear, "Your Majesty."

"Are you guilty?" Emperor Shun gritted his teeth and said, the previous love and intimacy disappeared completely, and now there is only ice and cold.

Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head terrified, "Slave, please... Your Majesty's instructions."

Emperor Shun wanted to throw the letter on him, but thinking about it, he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only stare at him, which made Zhu Yuanfeng feel sad and his limbs felt cold.

Then cries and cries sounded from His Highness, and all the guards in Jinghua Palace were brought up one by one.
