   Chapter 237 Cold Heart (1)

The eldest prince suddenly caught up with him, grabbed Li Jing's arm, and pleaded in a low voice: "Second brother, I beg you. Zhou Yuan said that the mother-in-law has no intention of surviving. If this goes on, the mother-in-law will It's really dead. If the father and the emperor are willing to go to Yanxi Palace once and talk to the mother-in-law, maybe the mother-in-law will have the will to survive."

   "In the past, our mother and son couldn't be sorry for you and the queen. From now on, I will never compete with you. I just ask you to forgive the mother and concubine this time, and join me in begging to see the father and emperor."

   "As long as you are willing to intercede for your mother and concubine, and the royal father has steps to go down, he will go to Yanxi Palace."

   "Second brother, I beg you!"

   After saying that, he actually knelt down for Li Jing.

   A ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, suddenly leaking brilliant light.

  Li Jing was facing the sun, squinting his eyes reflexively. Then he settled down and said solemnly: "Big brother, you are my elder brother. Kneel down for me now, this is forcing me with brotherhood."

   The eldest prince said with red eyes: "I'm not forcing you, I'm begging you. Are you just so cruel, watching my mother-in-law die?"

   Li Jing sneered: "Two days ago, my wife encountered a vicious assassin. If she reacts a little slower, she will be stabbed and poisoned to death, including my unborn child."

   "But Mrs Lu is all right..."

   "Whether there is anything wrong with Xiaoyu is not a reason to forgive the mastermind." Li Jing interrupted the eldest prince coldly: "If it were you, you would never forgive me."

   "You are willing to kneel, even if you are kneeling here. Don't try to force me with such undercover tactics. Whoever wants to say that I am ruthless, Li Jing, just say it, I don't care!"

   After saying that, he left quickly.

   First Prince: "..."

   The eldest prince, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Li Jingjue's back in disbelief. At the same time that the rage filled the sky, there was a strange chill.

   The gentle and humble second brother of the past has completely changed!

   If the mother concubine really can't wake up, he will lose the greatest help. In the future, how can I fight against Li Jing, who has the help of the Qiao family and the Lu family and the protection of Queen Qiao in the palace?

  The eldest prince was confused and didn't want to think about it any more, so he just knelt outside the Wenhua Hall.

  …

   When Li Jing stepped into the Jiaofang Hall, he saw Queen Qiao, who had also slept all night and looked haggard. There is also Princess Hui'an with an equally ugly face.

   There was such a big incident in the palace, Princess Hui'an was worried and did not leave the palace last night. Just slept in the Jiaofang Palace for one night. Whether he fell asleep or not, you can tell just by looking at the dull complexion.

   "Empress mother, Huangjie," Li Jing stepped forward and asked with a frown, "Why are your faces so ugly?"

   Queen Qiao sighed: "Meng Guifei hasn't woken up yet. Your father and emperor stayed up all night in the Wenhua Palace. How can I still sleep in this palace?"

   "I can't sleep or eat." Princess Hui'an's brows were almost twisted into knots: "Second brother, if this goes on like this, the imperial concubine may not be able to survive. Father..."

   As a daughter, I don’t want to speak ill of my father. But there are some words that are really unpleasant to keep in my heart and not say them.

   Princess Hui'an gritted her teeth and continued: "If the imperial concubine dies, all the faults will be gone. The father and the emperor will definitely anger the mother and the queen."

   In the final analysis, Lu Mingyu just moved the fetal air, and there is no serious problem.

  The Lu family and the Qiao family joined forces to force Emperor Yongjia to severely punish the murderer. When Concubine Meng died because of this, it would become a thorn in Emperor Yongjia's heart. It is very unfavorable to Li Jingri in the future.

   The truth is that both Li Jing and Queen Qiao understand.

  The best thing to do now is to take the initiative to let go of the assassination and go to comfort Emperor Yongjia first. I beg Emperor Yongjia to go to Yanxi Palace and wait for Concubine Meng to wake up.

   Never let Concubine Meng become the cinnabar mole in Emperor Yongjia's heart.

  Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, "Just now, my eldest brother knelt down and begged me outside the Wenhua Palace, but I ignored it."

   Princess Hui'an took a deep breath and quickly looked at Queen Qiao.

   Queen Qiao was silent for a moment before she said: "A Jing did the right thing. It's not us who was at fault, why should we be tolerant and generous?"

   "Meng Guifei was able to wake up because of her fate. If she really died, it would also be her retribution. As for your father and emperor, whether you will be resentful and dissatisfied because of it, that will be a matter of the future."

  There are some things that cannot be done. rather than do it.

  People live a breath.

  How can I swallow this breath!

  Li Jing frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Mother, thank you."

Queen Qiao looked at the pair of children, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth: "Ajing, Hui'an, for so many years, as a biological mother, I have always endured humiliation and retreated. Now you are all grown up and have your own families. The big things are all put down.”

"Your royal father has a deep affection for Concubine Meng Guifei. Concubine Meng Gui is also a fierce person, and she is cruel to herself and others. This time, if she dies, your royal father will definitely take out his anger. When the time comes, don't rush forward, everything has me."

   Both siblings were shocked and blurted out: "How can this work!"

After Queen Qiao made her decision, the whole person also calmed down: "This is the worst situation, don't worry for now. Wait patiently. Maybe, Concubine Meng can escape from death."

   paused for a moment, then said to Li Jing: "Continue to investigate the assassin. No matter what the result is, hold it down for now. Don't rush to see your father."

  Emperor Yongjia was exempted from the early court, and now he has no mood to see his son.

   Lee Spots nodded.

  …

   Concubine Qin, who also stayed up all night, went to Shouning Palace early in the morning.

  The Queen Mother Zhao didn't like Concubine Meng Gui, nor was she happy to see the dead in the palace, so she frowned and asked, "What's going on? For no reason, why did Mrs. Meng commit suicide?"

   Concubine Qin said in a low voice, "It must have something to do with Lu's assassination."

   Empress Dowager Zhao also thought about it in the middle of the night, and snorted coldly when she heard the words: "No wonder she wants to die. With such a vicious mind, she dares to murder the emperor's heir, and the emperor is sincere towards her."

The words    a piece of sincerity made Qin Fei's heart aches.

  Concubine Qin cheered up and said, "I heard that the emperor also stayed up all night, and the concubine did not have such a face. He also invited the empress dowager to go to the Wenhua Palace and persuade the emperor to take care of the dragon's body."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was also worried: "Ai's family is really worried, so let's go to Wenhua Hall. You also go with Ai's family."

   Concubine Qin finally had a bit of self-knowledge, and said with a wry smile: "The concubine should not go, lest the emperor be upset and think that the concubine has ulterior motives. The concubine is going to Yanxi Palace now, and I just hope that the concubine will wake up soon."

   had a bitter smile on his face, but his heart was full of joy.

Great!

  Two tigers fight, and another one loses both. It is best for Concubine Meng Gui to close her eyes today, so that Emperor Yongjia will anger the second prince, Queen Qiao, and she will be able to take advantage of the fisherman.
