Prince Regent's Concubine

Hearing Zhi'er's words, Ling Qingshi would have thought that everything the Queen Mother had done for the Ling family was just a bureau, in order to elicit the final truth.

As for what the final truth is and what the identity of Zhier is, they need to investigate. After all, there may be problems with the blood of the other two members of the royal family. Only Xiao Chuyi, the most orthodox one, is left with Xiao Chuyi's words I can convince everyone.

"So, what is the new identity?" Ling Qingshi asked, seeming very interested.

Zhi'er shook his head, "I can't say it now, but if Uncle Huang does a search, he will find out soon. Aunt Huang doesn't need to worry."

Ling Qingshi thought, that's not too soon, they are all waiting for his prince to investigate, maybe they have already prepared the evidence and put it on the ground for him to pick it up.

Ling Qingshi didn't want to talk anymore, feeling depressed.

Xiao Chuyi grabbed his hand, "It's okay, since you all want to make it public, this king will naturally fulfill you." The worst result is that only his blood is left in the royal family.

Just thinking about it, I heard Zhi'er ask, "Uncle Huang, are you really not interested in that position? Regardless of status or ability, Uncle Huang, you are the one who should take that position the most."

Ling Qingshi's head was full of question marks, "I don't want your uncle to raise his son now, but persuade him to become the throne himself?"

"No, Zhi'er is just telling the truth, if Uncle Huang is willing to help me, Zhi'er couldn't be happier." Zhi'er said, with a faint smile on his face all the time, like a smiling fox.

Ling Qingshi also looked at Zhi'er, and found that apart from his mature enough behavior, he was smaller than Xiao Jingheng in terms of face and height, so it was unlikely that these two would be swapped.

He really couldn't understand the relationship between them.

Fortunately, they are going back to Beijing soon, so they should know when they go back.

Zhi'er was still with them and said that he would go back to accept the reward. Ling Qingshi felt that this was no different from throwing himself into a trap. According to Xiao Jingheng's current temper, he might not let Zhi'er go again.

Ling Qingshi thought for a while and said, "I don't care what grievances you have with Xiao Jingheng, or whether you intend to seize the throne, but you'd better not attack the common people. If not, your uncle and I won't just watch , the consequences of our meddling, even if you think about it, you can't predict it."

This is not so much an exhortation, it is better to say it is a warning, and Zhier knows that they have this ability, maybe they can't stop their army from doing anything, but it is easy to directly kill Xiao Jingheng.

Zhi'er bowed his hands to Ling Qingshi respectfully, "Zhi'er thanks Aunt Huang for reminding, Zhi'er will not disappoint Aunt Huang and Uncle Huang."

Now that he agreed, Ling Qingshi trusted him a bit.

Because the capital was in a hurry and received an imperial decree brought by the hidden guards on the way, so this time the capital was on the road, and there was no chance for people to appreciate the scenery along the way.

It took them more than ten days to arrive at the capital. The Prince Regent's Mansion also received the news of their return in advance. The servants cleaned up early and waited for the master to return.

Zhi'er didn't go to the Prince Regent's Mansion with them, and separated from them after entering the city, and disappeared after a while. It is estimated that he has more than one stronghold in the capital.

It was really painstaking for that position, Ling Qingshi felt that many of the emperor's ingenuity might have been used to seize the throne, and it was as if he had lost his mind after ascending the throne, which was completely different from before.

And just after they entered the palace, someone came to the palace, and it was Zhou Qi, the personal eunuch next to Xiao Jingheng, who came to let them enter the palace.

This emperor was really annoying too much, he didn't have the slightest thought of empathy, they just entered the door, not to mention drinking water and eating, they couldn't even catch their breath.

Xiao Chuyi also showed displeasure, and directly ignored Zhou Qi, asking people to prepare water, and they wanted to take a bath and change clothes.

Although Zhou Qi was anxious to urge them, but thinking of the regent's temper, if he was in a hurry, maybe the master really dared not enter the palace, so he could only wait quietly.

Xiao Chuyi and Zhou Qi entered the palace together after washing, changing clothes, and having dinner. Ling Qingshi also wanted to go, but Xiao Jingheng hated it too much. He felt that his prince might be angry with Xiao Jingheng when he entered the palace. He wanted to go into the palace to speak for him, but was stopped by Xiao Chuyi and asked him to rest well. It is not certain when he will be able to leave the palace today.

Ling Qingshi didn't feel sleepy, nor was he very tired, Xiao Chuyi didn't let him enter the palace, so he just waited in the mansion, Xiao Jingheng couldn't detain him in the palace anyway.

……

Royal Palace

From the winter of last year to the present, the weather has already entered autumn, and he will leave the capital for a full year in a few months. This is the longest time Xiao Chuyi has been away from the capital, and it is also the first time that he has not set foot in such a long time Pass the palace.

This is the place where he grew up, not to mention familiar with every brick and tile, but he has engraved every road in the palace in his heart, but now he feels a little strange when he walks.

Or maybe he subconsciously didn't want to go back to the palace to take this road, because there was nothing worth commemorating here.

It was very silent along the way, Zhou Qi tried to initiate a conversation several times but failed to find a chance, he wanted to reveal to Xiao Chuyi, but he didn't reveal any information.

After finally reaching the study room, Xiao Jingheng was already waiting inside. When he caught sight of Xiao Chuyi in a wheelchair, his sullen anger was already on his face. Before Xiao Chuyi could salute him, he opened his mouth first. "I thought that the emperor's uncle was happy outside and didn't want to go back to Beijing."

Xiao Chuyi said truthfully, "If there is no imperial decree, I really don't plan to return to Beijing so early."

Xiao Jingheng became even angrier when he heard this, "The emperor is willing to obey my imperial decree now, but whoever didn't take my imperial decree seriously when he was in the northern border, I asked people to invite him twice and three times. When you come back, you all act as if you haven’t seen it, Uncle Emperor, do you really see the Emperor I in your eyes?”

Xiao Jingheng wanted to ask this question in front of Xiao Chuyi for a long time, and now he can be said to ask it out.

Xiao Chuyi: "It doesn't matter whether the courtiers have the emperor in their hearts, as long as the courtiers and common people have you in their hearts."

But this answer made Xiao Jingheng even more annoyed, "Xiao Chuyi, you are so courageous! What you said means that you don't take me seriously at all?"

"Hmph, I should have thought of this earlier, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed in the northern border for such a long time without honoring the sacred decree, and dared to go to other places to play, and even walked with rebellious officials and thieves. Not only did you not take me seriously, Did you even forget who you are?"

"Uncle, my father entrusted you to assist me in governing the courtiers. Is this how you assisted me? Are you worthy of my father's entrustment to you and his spirit in heaven?"

Hearing these questionings, Xiao Chuyi remained calm, "I am not ashamed of the sky, I am not ashamed of my heart, and I am not ashamed of my brother's entrustment."
