The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

After Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao left the emperor's dormitory, they did not dare to stay any longer, and also said goodbye on the excuse of being unwell. After that, Xiao Qi backed off everyone, and cried with the emperor for a long time.

The subsequent development was as expected by Chu Jinyao, and the emperor gave everyone a ban on what happened today. Subsequently, Lianmen received a large number of rewards, which meant it was self-evident.

When the news reached the East Palace, the few maids of Linglong Platycodon were not upset: "Prince Princess, this time the prince has prepared so many evidences, and the evidence is complete, so the emperor hasn't pursued it?"

Unfilial filial piety is more important than three things, which shows how important the offspring is in the family, let alone the royal family with few offspring. It was an ordinary noble family. If the mistress of the house dared to harm her children, no matter how hard her natal family was, she would not be able to escape the end of the ancient Buddha of the Blue Lantern, but after Xiao Qi became a country, she was let go again.

From the pity to the maid of the East Palace, every insider was furious. Kikyo was angry, so he could only get addicted to his mouth viciously, and found himself a little balance: "The emperor must be deceived by a treacherous man. The days to come will be long. She has already exposed flaws this time. If you wait a little longer, the emperor will definitely be able to see through. Her true face."

The other maidservants all showed a look of approval. They were all ordinary women who grew up under the imperial power. The emperor’s infallibility is entirely reasonable. Even if they enter the palace and come into close contact with injustice, they still firmly believe that the emperor is just Being deceived by others, in the future, he will be able to discern treacherous loyalties, punish the wicked, and return the prince and his girl to innocence. Chu Jinyao thought the same way before, but she changed from a poor peasant girl to a Houman lady, and later a princess. Perhaps because Qin Yi's influence was too great, Chu Jinyao could gradually think of a place farther away.

For example, this time, the emperor clearly believed that all this was done by Empress Xiao Qi, but the emperor still did not blame Empress Xiao Qi. Is this just because the emperor could not bear to punish his beloved wife, or was it to check and balance?

This thought made Chu Jinyao shudder.

Empress Xiaoqi is a queen, and she is also the biological mother of King Lu. This time Qin Yi acted swiftly and deadly. He saw thunder in a silent place, but in just a few days, before Xiao Qi's men found something was wrong, he gave them a thunderous blow. This kind of action is actually quite terrifying if it is out of the perspective of the East Palace.

Even if I changed to the emperor, it would be difficult to do this without disturbing anyone in just a few days.

The emperor has been delegating power for a long time, and he is really unpatriotic, but he is still an emperor.

Kikyo turned around and cursed for a long time. Seeing that Chu Jinyao's expression hadn't improved, but getting more and more solemn, she was startled: "Prince Princess, did the slave and maid make a mistake?"

Chu Jinyao returned to her senses and found that the maids were still chattering against the queen, hoping that the emperor could tell right from wrong, she shook her head with a noncommittal smile, and said, "The emperor doesn't want people to discuss these things. You don't want to talk about them anymore. Even if they are. Not in private."

Chu Jinyao has been a prince's concubine for a long time, and these maids gradually became afraid, and they didn't dare to make trouble in front of Chu Jinyao as they did when they were girls. Seeing Chu Jinyao's serious expression, they immediately fell silent, bowed their heads and saluted: "Yes, the slave and maid remembered it."

Chu Jinyao's worries must not be on the same level as these maids. After she beat them, she sent them down. Although Qin Yi was very angry with Empress Xiaoqi and the emperor today, he was the crown prince, and his personal emotions were the most insignificant thing. After sending Chu Jinyao back, he went out again without sitting down to drink. It was not until the sky gradually darkened that Qin Yi came back from outside.

The palace taboos are not as strict as the imperial city, and it is easier to contact foreign ministers, so whether it is Qin Yi or the two princes, it is more busy in the palace than in the capital. Qin Yi came back under the moonlight. Just when he approached the Qide Hall, he saw Chu Jinyao holding a lamp in his hand, waiting at the gate of the palace.

Qin Yi's footsteps stopped for a while, and then quickly accelerated: "Why did you come out?"

"His Royal Highness comes back later than usual. I can't rest assured and will wait for you outside."

Qin Yi didn't know what to say about her. There was no need to be cautious about her in the palace. His entertainment had doubled several times, so he often couldn't come back to dine with Chu Jinyao at night. Qin Yi seemed to sigh slightly: "How long have you waited?"

"It didn't take long." Of course, Chu Jinyao wouldn't tell the truth. The emperor's actions today are even chilling for a bystander like her, let alone Qin Yi. She was really worried about Qin Yi's state, and couldn't sit still in the house, so she simply took a lamp and waited for him outside.

The summer night was refreshing, so it was so, Chu Jinyao stood outside for a long while, her arms were also cool. Qin Yi touched Chu Jinyao's arm and felt complicated: "If you have been waiting for a long time, just send someone to look for me. Why stand outside and wait for you. It's really impossible. Let the maid watch outside for you. It’s okay."

"How can it be the same, I am the wife of His Royal Highness." The two of them had already entered the room while they were speaking. The maidservants brought the plates forward with training, replaced them with fresh pastries and fruit plates, and then quietly retreated. under. Chu Jinyao personally poured a cup of tea for Qin Yi, and after testing the temperature with her hands, she handed it to Qin Yi: "His Royal Highness, this is the tea I specially asked them to make. It is just right to drink after drinking."

Qin Yi took the tea and gently shook the foam in the cup. Chu Jinyao looked for a long while, and asked softly: "His Royal Highness, are you still angry about the day's things?"

Only then did Qin Yi understand that Chu Jinyao was worried about him, and I'm afraid he had been thinking about it for a day. He didn't know what to say about her: "You...I'm fine. I had expected it a long time ago. I'm not surprised."

Chu Jinyao sighed: "His Royal Highness, are we too eager this time? Actually, I shouldn't rush you a few days ago. Although the queen was drugged, I didn't wear those clothes. It was just a false alarm. In the field, I should stay calm and keep quiet."

Chu Jinyao vaguely perceives the change in the emperor's attitude, and her resentment towards Empress Xiaoqi immediately becomes a hidden worry. Chu Jinyao even thought that Qin Yi intervened in this matter to vent her anger, and quickly poke out the evidence of Xiao Qi's crimes, but this caused the emperor to be wary. Maybe she shouldn't be so ignorant.

"If this kind of thing has to be tolerated, my prince would have nothing to do." Qin Yi's eyes were light, as if he was talking about something extraordinary, "You are the prince, you only have your role in bullying others, not yet. People can deceive you. Don't say just a queen, or someone who can't move anymore. If you dare to do something to you, I have to make them vomit twice."

Qin Yi is really keen, he noticed Chu Jinyao's thoughts without much delay. From Qin Yi's point of view, her worries were simply unreasonable. Chu Jinyao's misconception was already the biggest thing. Regardless of the identity of the person who did it, Qin Yi must make this person doubly return it. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was still alive, Empress Xiao Qi would definitely end up not just as it is today.

What's more, Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao pointedly and said, "This will go down and the other will grow, it will happen sooner or later."

Chu Jinyao immediately understood, and Qin Yi was very pleased seeing her expression: "You reacted a lot faster. It seems that I, a student, didn't teach for nothing."

Chu Jinyao gave him an angry glance: "What student, which master would stay in the student room so late?"

Qin Yi smiled meaningfully, and immediately got up and walked to the other side, holding Chu Jinyao in his arms: "This is not necessarily true. If not, let the teacher take you to the couch and talk in detail?"

"You..." Chu Jinyao held back for a long time, blushing and squeezed out, "Absurd! I'm serious about telling you something, don't do that."

"Which is it?" Qin Yi asked deliberately.

Chu Jinyao glared at him vigorously before Qin Yi restrained it. Chu Jinyao was concerned about serious court affairs, determined to ignore this unscrupulous person who didn't know what to think in his mind, and tried to bring the topic back: "His Royal Highness, what happened today, is that?"

"You mean the queen?" Qin Yi dismissed it. "I didn't expect that foolish lord, but it turns out that I really didn't bury him. Anyway, he already believed that this was the queen's work. As for the actual punishment, it was superficial. It’s too important."

Such remarks should be extremely disrespectful, but Chu Jinyao couldn't refute it. Chu Jinyao also thought about it, the emperor already knew that the queen had mutilated the emperor's heir and caused the concubine to miscarry for many years. After Xiao Qi has lost the Sacred Heart, whether there is any specific punishment is just a formality. What's more, this is the same as Chu Jinmiao lied back then, and Mrs. Chu didn't want to punish her. The punishment that she has escaped now will be doubled back in the future.

The emperor now has feelings for Empress Xiaoqi, so he can't bear to punish her, but once he knows that this woman next to him has been doing evil and harming people for ten years, it is like cutting meat with a slow knife. After a long time, will the emperor really not mind?

Can he continue to treat Empress Xiaoqi and even King Lu and the second princess uncompromisingly, and just wait. Chu Jinyao felt that she might have really grown up. She no longer entangled the queen for doing bad things but was not punished. These are all appearances, and the gains and losses behind it are really important. On the contrary, Chu Jinyao cared more about the meaning of the emperor's failure to punish the queen.

The emperor used to trust Qin Yi completely, not caring about the plump wings of his heir, but now, the young eagle is a little wary.

Qin Yi and Chu Jinyao agreed on the location so far, and did not discuss this issue in depth. The emperor didn't punish the queen, and it didn't mean that Empress Xiaoqi really didn't have to bear any crimes. The harem was complicated, and even the emperor's wishes might not be able to be carried out smoothly.

What would happen if these activities that Xiao Qi did were discovered by other concubines in the palace? The emperor refused to punish Xiaoqi. What was it for? Concubine Shu, Concubine Li, and many other beauties who did not show their beauty, they were much better than the emperor.

Chu Jinyao was already thinking about how to "inadvertently" leak this incident to Concubine Shu. The emperor's forbidden code must not be violated, but if Concubine Shu finds it out by herself, it will be unpleasant.

But to put it bluntly, Empress Xiaoqi and the emperor are just two outsiders who are close by blood. In fact, Chu Jinyao is more worried about Qin Yi's situation. Xiao Qi empress today mentioned Empress Da Qi deadly, and even used her sister who died early as a weapon of her solid pet. Chu Jinyao was angry and disgusting when she saw this scene. What about Qin Yi?

"His Royal Highness." Chu Jinyao tried to casually say comforting words, "The queen is used to being shameless, she doesn't even let her children go, and she doesn't care about human relations. And the emperor is the ninety-five supreme, and there are some things that must be confided for the venerable. , But it does not mean that he is right."

"I know." Qin Yi strongly hugged Chu Jinyao and placed his chin on Chu Jinyao's hair. "I have been teaching him again and again for the past ten years. I have long since embraced him. Actually want it."

The emperor was unprincipled in favor of his beloved wife. Chu Jinyao only saw this one time. How many times had it happened before then?

"His Royal Highness..."

"It's okay." Qin Yi knew what Chu Jinyao wanted to say, "It's all over, I don't care, I'm just not worth it for my mother."

After Daqi died of illness in Jianxing eight years, Qin Yi was only five years old. When a boy was five or six years old, he could kill himself. It was supposed to be the happiest and most missed time in a man's life, but when Qin Yi was five, his willful childhood stopped without warning.

Since Daqi gave birth to the eldest son, her body has been unhealthy. That spring, the weather was dry and she fell ill again. Originally this was not a major event. The hospital, the emperor, and even Empress Daqi thought it was just a change of seasons. Just take a few more patches.

The five-year-old eldest son of the emperor dared not control him. He was tyrannical, doing pranks everywhere, turning the harem upside down, and he was the only one who was able to settle down behind Daqi. That day, he went to greet his mother as usual, but saw the emperor in his mother's palace and his aunt, who was disheveled and rained in pear blossoms.

Empress Daqi is different from her younger sister. She is the eldest daughter of the family. She has been proud and stout for half of her life, and she doesn't even bother to act coquettishly. She is like the ridicule of the full-time wife of the world, dignified, beautiful, but boring.

And her sister is obviously at the other extreme. She speaks sweetly. She grew up spoiled by her mother and elder brothers, and she wanted whatever she wanted, even if it belonged to someone else. Although I felt wrong before and after Da Qi, after all, I loved my only sister, so Da Qi could only follow her as much as possible. But who would know that her good sister actually took a fancy to her brother-in-law, Dayan's king of a country.

After Da Qi was anxious, she asked the female officer around her to discipline her spoiled sister. At this time, after Da Qi, she was still for the sake of her sister. There was no medium for sexual intercourse. It was rumored that she wanted to immerse her in a pig cage! After Daqi, my sister couldn’t bear to be obsessed for a while and hurt her for a lifetime. But after Daqi’s mother, Mrs. Zhenbeihou at the time, went into the palace overnight. After she stopped Daqi, she burst into tears and said that her little daughter was pregnant. It's a month old, and I'm out of anger after being unable to get together.

It was only after Daqi that my sister had broken her husband's child, and it had been two months! Mother, father, elder brother, husband, her relatives all know! She was the only one who was kept in the dark like a fool, and was broken for her sister's lifelong affairs.

Daqi Houdang fainted and his condition plummeted afterwards.

When this farce happened, Qin Yi was on the spot. In April, Empress Daqi was already dying, and her family and the emperor often came to visit her, but Empress Daqi knew that they were all waiting for her to die. Because my sister's belly is already showing, she can't hide it anymore.

At the end of April, Qin Yi knelt in front of the sick bed, watched Daqi fall into a deep sleep, and never woke up. Three days later, the emperor read Daqi and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. He was named Empress Wenxiao. There are "wen" and "filial piety" in the posthumous title. Wei is indeed a supreme honour. All the imperial wives in Beijing are envious of the decent Empress Wen Xiao, which is truly a sorrow for life and death.

Yes, life and death are sad. After June Xiaoqi entered the palace because the emperor "excessively missed the first queen", it was not extremely glorious that the Qi family of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion had two queens in succession.

Since then, Qin Yi has turned against his grandparents, and he has never called the emperor his father.

Parents are the epitome of the future of the child. After Qin Yi was crowned the crown prince, even if he did not lack food or clothing, he grew up with the wind and rain, and thus formed a domineering temperament, but even so, he could not get rid of the influence of childhood. As early as when Qin Yi didn't know what marriage was and what responsibility was, he already knew about betrayal. Up to now, Qin Yi has not been able to accept the closeness of others, nor has he been able to directly and fearlessly refuse to express his thoughts. Had it not been for Chu Jinyao, he would probably have lived this life arrogantly and lonely.

Every time I think about things after Daqi, I feel uncomfortable. Over time, Qin Yi would not allow others to mention his mother. But today, because Xu is holding a person in his arms, the dull pain in his heart is not as obvious as he imagined. Qin Yi suddenly became curious about one thing: "When the emperor pressed you, you could call her a mother. Those who make big things don’t stick to the trivial, and a title can’t change anything, why do you have to be stern?"

"No." Chu Jinyao's voice was a little dull, but with straightforward arrogance, "I don't want to stand with the emperor and queen. I don't necessarily like the person you like, but I must hate the person you hate. ."

"If you do this, she may make it harder for you in the future."

"It's not bad this time, she wouldn't be nice to me." Chu Jinyao paused for a while and found that Qin Yi hadn't spoken, so she lightly touched him, "Your Highness?"

"It's okay." The light in Qin Yi's eyes was bright and extinguished, as if an endless undercurrent was surging. Qin Yi suddenly thought that if Daqi were still alive, she would be very pleased to see Chu Jinyao.

Since the spring of the eighth year of Jianxing, from the age of five to seventeen, his life has been blank for twelve years. Until a border attack, he suffered the worst trauma in his life. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met another important woman in his life.

From the moment he said "Don't cry", his destiny changed completely.
