The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Although Chu Jinyao's concubine Shu and Zhao Lanhui are fierce, but in fact, she is in a bad situation now.

The East Palace was enclosed in iron buckets, and Chu Jinyao transferred the power to govern the palace, and could not step out of the East Palace.

The daily meals are still delivered by the imperial dining room, but the meals have to be checked several times. The eunuchs are all familiar faces, and it is impossible to mix in with others, and it is completely impossible to take the opportunity to spread the news.

This is almost a disguised house arrest. Concubine Shu took Feng Yin from here. As expected, the power of the Associate of the Sixth Palace was in the hands of the qualified and well-known Concubine Shu. Princess Su often stayed with Concubine Shu and had access to part of the palace affairs. The concubine Shu and his wife and daughter-in-law controlled the court, while King Su arrogantly planted his cronies in the court, and Fang Pucun controlled the emperor, whose attitude was of utmost importance.

After returning from Wala, the emperor had a lot of trust in the other party Pu Cun, and he was used to asking Fang Pu Cun's opinions regardless of state affairs and family affairs. The emperor had a temperament that was easily influenced by others, and he relied on the opinions of people he trusted. In the past, this person was Xiao Qi, but now, Fang Pu has replaced him.

When the emperor was captured in the Wala army camp, there was only Fang Pucun in the Wala tribe. The emperor was unavoidably dependent on him. Later, Pucun showed his loyalty and actively rescued the emperor. In such a lonely and helpless situation, The emperor relied more and more heavily on Fang Pucun, which is completely imaginable.

It would be great if Fang Pucun was really a loyal and patriotic man, but he was smart, but he had no empathy and moral restraint. He made a plan for the Wala people to close the city gates on all sides in the name of sending the emperor back to Beijing. Later, he proposed a peace agreement, and the lion opened his mouth on the agreement. This is the abomination of Fang Pucun. Everything he did was loyal to the emperor in the eyes of the emperor, but from the perspective of the court, Fang Pucun was a disaster for the country and the people.

A person who uses his nation's life as a bet, no matter how clever he is, he is not a genius, but an evil spirit.

Qin Yi refused. This was within Qin Yi's expectation and Fang Pucun's expectation.

Therefore, after the emperor came back, Qin Yi was jealous, but Fang Pucun became a great hero, won the emperor's trust, and threatened the holy will.

Chu Jinyao sat in the Ciqing Palace like an iron bucket, looking out the window and sighing quietly. The weather is warm day by day, the palace willows sprout new green, and the dead trees in front of the Ciqing Palace window also sprout new branches. These delicate green colors are lovely, but the environment in the palace is like a long night, with no hope.

The first confrontation between Donggong and Fang Pucun was victorious and still defeated. Now, Fang Pucun is not in a hurry and shows the second sickle.

He said in front of the emperor that the prince went to Xishan to rebuild the Imperial Guards was not for the country and the people. The prince only wanted to take the opportunity of reorganizing the Imperial Guards and wait for opportunities to cultivate private soldiers for himself. This army was created by Qin Yi, and they would not It is the strong soldier of the dynasty, and it will only be the private army of the prince alone. The day the Imperial Guard was rebuilt, was the day when the Crown Prince rose up and forced his throne.

The emperor was of course panicked when he heard it, but after listening to Fang Pucun's suggestion, he ordered a search of the East Palace. And Chu Jinyao not only rejected Dongchang, but also concubine Shu who came to be a lobbyist. In the eyes of the emperor, these behaviors naturally changed another flavor.

The emperor's suspicion was even worse, and he ordered people to enclose the East Palace. Chu Jinyao was trapped in the palace and lost her freedom, and even more so, she couldn't guarantee her safety. King Su, Concubine Shu, and Fang Pucun, these three people are trusted by the emperor, and now these three are in collusion with each other and firmly control the court, the harem, and the emperor. Donggong is really standing on the tip of a knife now. A slight mistake will be a dead end, and Chu Jinyao is detained as a hostage. Once an accident occurs, she and her child will be the first two people affected.

The East Palace is precarious, and the atmosphere in the capital is depressing day by day. The people in the officialdom are now rumbling, and everyone is in danger. Whether they are standing in line or not standing in line, they are now silent and guard against each other, but secretly find a way out for the family.

Linglong came in and closed the window lightly: "Prince Princess, you have been sitting in the air vent for a long time. You are now heavy. Let's lie down in the house for a while."

Chu Jinyao shook her head, she couldn't sleep now. Chu Jinyao was in labor in April, more than 20 days away, but Chu Jinyao's actions were already very difficult. Chu Jinyao also knows that pregnant women are most afraid of being overwhelmed, but now there are guards of strong soldiers and Lijia around the outside of Ciqing Palace, how can Chu Jinyao not worry about being overweight, how can he rest assured that she can raise her fetus.

Chu Jinyao looked at the fluffy buds outside the window and sighed in a low voice. She touched her belly and whispered to the child: "My mother promised you to go to see flowers. Spring is everywhere in Miyagi. It will definitely look better when you come out in a month. Be good, don't be afraid."

The timing of King Su and Fang Pucun's attack was really bad. If Qin Yi completed the rebuilding of the Guards in a longer period of time, there was no need to worry about Fang Pucun and King Su, and even the emperor would not have to be afraid. However, when Qin Yi was halfway through, they attacked. Qin Yi's strength was not enough to attack. King Su and Fang Pucun were also afraid to enter the West Mountain, and the two sides stood in a stalemate.

King Su and the prince faced each other, and Ciqing Palace was enclosed in iron buckets. Chu Jinyao was both a hostage and a threat. Chu Jinyao vaguely heard in the past few days that the smell of gunpowder from the confrontation between King Su and the prince became stronger and stronger. Fang Pucun used the emperor's hand to issue an edict to Qin Yi and let the prince enter the palace to report on his duties.

When entering the palace at this time, no one believes that the emperor really wants to know the progress of the rebuilding of the Imperial Guard. At the beginning, Han Xin was also a power minister on the side of the army. He entered the palace for a banquet and was killed by the ambushers of Queen Lu, not to mention his lack of power. Restore the full prince. This edict is clearly a banquet.

Chu Jinyao hoped in a low voice in her heart that Qin Yi should not go back to the palace, and never come back. Although the emperor's fate is hard to violate, but there are also some who will not be subject to orders from foreign emperors. Chu Jinyao believes that using Qin Yi's means, it is very easy to find an excuse for not returning to the palace.

As for her... Before the announcement of whether the child in her stomach was a male or a female, neither the emperor nor King Su would embarrass her. Chu Jinyao calculated his due date, and sighed faintly in his heart. They had been forced to the cliff, Chu Jinyao also looked away, as long as it could last.

In the end, Linglong persuaded Chu Jinyao to get up and return to the house. Chu Jinyao now has a very picky appetite, and she feels sick when she smells greasy vegetables, but she is absolutely indispensable for nutrition this month. Since the Donggong was besieged, Linglong and Gongmao dare not let Chu Jinyao eat the dishes from the Imperial Dining Room. They can only transport fresh vegetables back and cook them in the small kitchen. Although it is slower, it is better than eating outside meals. Peace of mind. Madam Gong asked Chu Jinyao what she wanted to eat today, and then she hurriedly went to the small kitchen to do it, but after a while, Linglong vaguely heard a quarrel from Jiaomen.

Chu Jinyao heard it too, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Kikyo was all over, and quickly went out to see. After a while, Kikyo came back with a stiff expression: "The princess, the **** who delivered the food came, but was stopped by the guards outside."

The guard used a knife to pick it up for a long time, but he still didn't allow the eunuchs to send in fresh vegetables in the name of something contained in the basket.

Kikyo spent a long time talking with the guard at the corner gate, and his cheeks were red with anger: "They are so deceiving! They dare to seize vegetables. If the prince and the little master are delayed, whoever will take care of it!"

Linglong heard this but was furious: "I thought Su Wang would be unfaithful and unrelenting, but he was acting upright and upright. I didn't expect him to do this kind of work! The crown prince was nine months old, and they couldn't be negligent, so they could do it. Out of seizure and eating!"

Linglong and the maidservants of Kikyo certainly wouldn't dare to discuss the right and wrong of the royal family, but things have reached this point and there is nothing to be afraid of. Either the crown prince will set things right, and Linglong will have nothing to do, or the king's treacherous plan will succeed, and the people in the East Palace may not end well. Since they are all dead, why don't you dare to scold him?

This kind of thing really doesn't make sense, but who makes it useful? A few people in Linglong can bear the hunger, and even an adult Chu Jinyao can bear it, but what about the children?

Kikyo was so angry that he couldn't help muttering: "If the prince was here, who would dare to be like this..."

"Panjima." Chu Jinyao lowered her voice, and Chijimao immediately lowered her head in fear. Chu Jinyao glanced at her and said, "It's not a big deal. Go to the kitchen and tell the grandmother, do whatever you want in the small kitchen." ."

"Yes."

Kikyo shrank her neck and walked away quickly. After waiting for someone to go out, Chu Jinyao had a warning in her eyes and said to Linglong: "Such words are forbidden to be mentioned in the future."

Linglong hurriedly bowed down and responded to the matter.

Chu Jinyao slowly stood up and walked around the room with her waist. I heard that you should pay special attention to walking around one month before giving birth. If you have a lot of tonic, it will be difficult to give birth during labor. Chu Jinyao walked twice with the help of the court lady, and said in her heart that she also wanted Qin Yi to be by her side, but in this situation, she wished that Qin Yi would not come back.

King Su made him use these despicable methods, so many people looked at them, and they didn't even dare to do anything to Chu Jinyao. However, there are many traps in the capital. King Su and Concubine Shu are waiting in the palace. Qin Yi must not throw himself into the trap.

The next day, the food delivery **** still failed to come in. Chu Jinyao didn't say anything when she knew it. She still ate at her own pace and went to bed on time. After eating, she walked slowly in the palace. After a few laps, she had sweated thinly, and the palace people were afraid that Chu Jinyao would catch a cold, so they quickly took a hot towel and wiped it.

The ladies of the court had just brought their things over and beaten outside to an eunuch. They were polite to Chu Jinyao at first, but then he was not at all polite: "Prince Concubine Jin'an, the emperor heard that the concubine has had an appetite recently. No, I sent a minion here to ask."

Linglong heard this secretly and sipped: "It's not that the princess has a bad appetite. Now there are only dishes that are not fresh for a long time. Who can have an appetite?"

This one just chuckles when he listens too much, and doesn't answer. Although he was smiling, his tone was full of involuntary beaks: "Princess, Long live is waiting for you, let's go now."

When Linglong heard these words, they were very alert, and they couldn't help but surround Chu Jinyao. Is it really the emperor's call? What if King Su, or Concubine Shu, asked Chu Jinyao to leave the palace in the name of the emperor, and then murdered the prince concubine during this period of time? The crown princess is now a month old, and she missed a little bit, and it was a dead body and two lives.

Linglong also wanted to find an excuse: "The princess has swelling on her leg and can't walk..."

"Girl don't worry, the miscellaneous family has already called for a walk, and there are several experienced mothers watching, the princess will be fine."

"but……"

The father-in-law on the other side looked impatient. Chu Jinyao stopped Linglong's words and said: "Since the emperor has an edict, I can't neglect it. Father-in-law wait a minute, and wait for me to change into the clothes of the saint."

The father-in-law frowned and said sharply: "How dare you let Long live wait?"

Chu Jinyao stopped and looked back at her father-in-law: "Are you teaching me to do things?"

The father-in-law's arrogance weakened. Even if the situation in front of him was precarious, she was after all the prince. The father-in-law thought about going to the palace, but he didn't dare to do too much, and silently let Chu Jinyao change clothes.

When he arrived in the unmanned inner room, Chu Jinyao lowered her voice and said quickly: "Go and get the powder."

"Prince!"

"Go!"

Linglong didn't dare to delay, she fetched the stolen poison powder with trembling fingers, Chu Jinyao instructed the maid to wipe all the powder on the hairpin, and she carefully hid the rest in her nails.

After waiting outside, Chu Jinyao's expression was calm and cold, and she couldn't tell at all. She took the servants of the palace and walked out. Just two steps later, she was called to a stop by the father-in-law: "Princess, the person serving by the outsider is ready, you don't have to worry about it."

Chu Jinyao glanced at him and said to everyone behind: "Dingxiang, you stay at the door. Linglong, you follow me."

Linglong sighed quickly, and quickly followed. The father-in-law was rather ridiculous and didn't smile: "The princess..."

"This concubine is the concubine of the Changxing Marquis, and the concubine of the Prince of the East Palace. Since entering the palace, she has not been away from her side." Chu Jinyao glanced at her condescendingly, "Why, you have questions about this prince's pomp. Nothing?"

The father-in-law is blocked, it's hard to say. The maidens in the palace can't leave people wherever they go. The father-in-law thought that even a palace lady could not make any waves, so he didn't stop him any more and took Chu Jinyao out.

This is the first time that Chu Jinyao has stepped out of the palace gate during this period, but when she came out, she was half-held and supported on the sedan chair. The sedan chair was lifted in a hurry. Chu Jinyao sat in there with some bumps. She managed to endure it. I don't know how long she had been walking, Chu Jinyao was helped off the sedan chair. Chu Jinyao lifted her head and swept it, suddenly surprised.

It turned out to be Qianqing Palace.

Chu Jinyao thought that the emperor's summoning was just an excuse, but she did not expect that she was actually sent to the Palace of Qianqing. Chu Jinyao was silent on her face and was already calculating quickly in her heart, what did they mean? The child has not yet been born, and it is not known whether it is a male or a female. They will not be overwhelmed now. Then they forcibly pulled her out, what is the picture?

Chu Jinyao entered through the side door, and when she passed the huge screen behind the hall, her pupils shrank severely when she saw the person in front of her.

There were many people standing in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty at this moment, but the one standing in the middle of the palace, with a long and long posture, touched Tsinghua, even if there were many people, he could catch the sight of others at first sight. He is wearing a black uniform, embroidered with a golden dragon on his shoulders, and his waist is tightly tied with a leather jade belt. Viewed from the side, he is neat and straight.

It was Qin Yi, he still came back.
