The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Chapter 90: Donggong loses morals

Until the water filled his eyes, Chu Jinyao felt that she had been wronged by the water.

When the crowd is in chaos, she makes people take precautions. Linglong and Campanulaceae are staring at the back, and beware of anyone taking advantage of the chaos. However, I did not expect that the change did not happen behind, but from the front. Lianbing was pushed into the water, and the moment she was about to fall, she burst out of great power out of her desire to survive, and she actually grabbed Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was unprepared, and was staggered by the pity, but she also fell off together.

However, this is not over yet, Chu Jinyao is innocently affected. Anyway, she knows how to water, so she won't panic in the pool. If she was a lady born and raised in Taiyuan Palace, then she would not know how to tease water, but Chu Jinyao grew up in a mountain village when she was a child, and there was a river at the entrance of her village, so Chu Jinyao knew nothing about it, so she learned more to save her life. skill.

It's a pity that she can hold her ground, but the pity empress next to her can't. Lianbi screamed and thumped hard, her hands and feet still tightly wrapped around the only thing she could catch. Chu Jinyao was so tossed by her that she could only shout to the pity, "Pity, Niangniang, you let go first, I will water, and I will swim back with you!"

However, a drowning person couldn't hear what others were yelling. Chu Jinyao's hands and feet were entangled with pity, and gradually he felt drowning. Fortunately, Nishi Nei always had a lady-in-law who knew the water, and soon there was a thumping sound of diving everywhere, and several people in Linglong anxiously shouted on the shore: "Prince Princess!"

A palace person pulled the pity away, and without another person pinched her hand tightly, Chu Jinyao felt that she could breathe freely. The palace lady swam to the shore with Chu Jinyao. As soon as she touched the ground, Linglong unfolded her large cloak, which firmly covered Chu Jinyao.

The water in spring was still cold, Chu Jinyao walked into the water for a while, and now he was fighting all over. Her face was pale, and she barely held herself up and said to the people around her: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Linglong were slightly relieved when they saw that Chu Jinyao did not suffer any other injuries except for the shock. But the other person didn't have such good luck. When Lianmei was rescued, her face was completely faint, and she was still pregnant, and her condition was really not good.

After Xiao Qi looked at all this, her face was pale, the day was on fire, and the prince and pity fell into the water. Now the only pregnant concubine is still unconscious, and it is inevitable that this is her fault in the palace. Xiao Qi yelled angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up to declare the doctor and bring the sedan chair over!"

Chu Jinyao was wrapped in a cloak, and looked towards Lian. The pity is in a coma, and the surrounding court ladies are crying, and some are sluggish and at a loss. It can be described as a mess. Chu Jinyao's eyes swept across the crowd, and it was easiest to see the clues when the change happened. Who wanted to hurt her?

Chu Jinyao looked attentively, Linglong could only whisper in Chu Jinyao's ear: "Prince Princess, the water is cold in April, the sedan chair is already on the road, you can bear with me for a while."

"I can hold it." Before Chu Jinyao finished speaking, she suddenly heard a large area of ​​kneeling and asking for peace. Chu Jinyao pulled her cloak and turned her head. At a glance, she saw Qin Yi's face solemnly and strode towards here.

The people on the shore were taken aback for a moment, and they knelt down quickly: "Participate in Your Royal Highness."

Qin Yi didn't care, and walked straight to Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao was about to salute in this posture, but was held back by Qin Yi.

"Why fell into the water?" Qin Yi grabbed Chu Jinyao's hand and was startled by the coolness of her fingers. His eyes changed immediately, and he slowly and coldly swept over the people standing behind. Obviously Qin Yi didn't say a word, but the few people who were waiting behind all ooze fine sweat on their foreheads, and the few Linglong Platycodon dared not argue, and directly bowed their heads and knelt down. Chu Jinyao grabbed Qin Yi's hand and slightly used force to remind him to pay attention to the situation at the moment: "His Royal Highness, I'm fine, I can't blame them today. Let's go back first."

Qin Yi's eyes were still sharp, Chu Jinyao shook his hand again, with a plea in his eyes, Qin Yi suppressed his temper, glanced at the lower man on the ground, and said, "Go back and talk about it."

Just then, Xiao Linzi ran over and bowed his waist and said: "His Royal Highness, the princess, the sedan chair is here."

Qin Yi nodded lightly, and before Chu Jinyao could react, he hugged her directly. Chu Jinyao was taken aback, and subconsciously grabbed Qin Yi's skirt. When she reacted, she was anxious and ashamed: "Your Majesty, let me go down, there are still many maidens here! Under the crowd, You...how do you make me stand up and meet people in the future?"

"It's starting to tremble no matter what." Qin Yi frowned and gave Xiao Linzi a look, "Bring another cloak over."

Xiao Linzi hurriedly had people fetch Qin Yi's cloak, and Qin Yi wrapped it around Chu Jinyao in this posture, and the corners and corners were also tucked tightly. Chu Jinyao sighed in despair. If the two were not very close, Chu Jinyao would almost suspect that Qin Yi hadn't heard what she was talking about. She was going to be a dignified and Shuxian princess, it was all ruined now.

Chu Jinyao was carried on the sedan chair in such a self-defeating manner. Fortunately, she became more secretive when she was on the proud man. Chu Jinyao is still wrapped in Qin Yi's clothes, and she really does not want to be visited all the way.

As soon as the proud son stopped, Chu Jinyao's resistance failed, and Qin Yi took him back to the Eastern Palace. Ciqing Palace had long received news that the hot water had already been boiled, and if Chu Jinyao hadn't resolutely opposed it, Qin Yi could put her in the tub directly.

After being soaked in a pool of cold water for a while, and the cold wind blowing for so long on the road, Chu Jinyao was already shaking with freezing, and she didn't feel that she was alive again until she was immersed in the warm and clean bathing water. She soaked for a while, washed her hair again, and then came out with her coat.

Outside the clean room, the palace mother and others have prepared the cold-removing soup. Qin Yi was waiting outside and saw Chu Jinyao coming out, he beckoned Chu Jinyao to come and drink the medicine.

The decoction to keep away the cold was just burned, and the medicinal material smelled choking, so Chu Jinyao resisted the odor and finished it. Qin Yi watched Chu Jinyao drink the medicine, and saw that she was frowning and containing candied dates, and she felt distressed.

He coaxed him, a treasure that was reluctant to say a heavy word, why was he tossed it like this by others? After the medicine was removed, Linglong and the maternal grandmother retreated wittily. Qin Yi first probed his forehead, and then went to hold Chu Jinyao's hand. Seeing her body warmed up, he thought about asking what happened today. : "Why did you still fall into the water?"

Speaking of this, Chu Jinyao also sighed: "I have always been on guard, but who would have thought that others did not attack me, but pushed pity hard. Pity was standing very close to me, and she suddenly fell into the water. I just grabbed the person next to me as a gesture. I just looked at the back of my body, but I didn’t expect to be dragged from the front by the pity. In this way, I also fell. In fact, I can water, if I were not entangled by the pity. Now, how can I use it to soak in the water for so long."

Qin Yi didn't know what to say after hearing this. He frowned and sighed helplessly: "It's really troublesome for many women. I don't know if he marries so many and puts them behind, what's the point of arguing all day long? ."

Chu Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled without talking. Qin Yi is the prince, he can say that the emperor is not, but Chu Jinyao can't. After a while, Chu Jinyao's curiosity gained the upper hand again. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she quietly asked Qin Yi: "His Royal Highness, what do you think is going on today?"

"Ok?"

"It's the maid on the ship today, dancing so well, why did she catch fire inexplicably? And the fire is also weird, it burned for a while in the water before it went out. And pity, how is she?"

"You have to ask the person who planned the fire." Qin Yi paused and said, "As for the pity, she mostly incidentally."

The amount of news in this sentence is so great that Chu Jinyao doesn't know which one to be surprised. "You mean, the burning of the fire today was caused by someone deliberately? And the pity was pushed by someone in a mess? This...I don't know who is more unlucky."

Qin Yi was obviously thinking too, and the two leaned quietly, thinking about their own ideas. After a while, Chu Jinyao said: "His Royal Highness, I think about it carefully, and I always feel that looking at the performance of the dancer today, she is not like an insider. Since the dancers don’t know, how could her skirt Suddenly catching fire? Under all eyes, there is no source of fire on the painting boat, and the fire suddenly burned up when the dancing girl turned around. There is no deliberate ignition. All this is very strange, as if the fire was burned by herself. . If this is man-made, how did the people behind it do it?"

Qin Yi smiled and looked at her: "I said it was man-made, so you really believe it? What if it's a strange fire from heaven?"

Chu Jinyao was a little dazed by the question. Even so, her eyes were still determined: "His Royal Highness said it was man-made, so it is natural."

Qin Yi was watching with such completely trusting eyes, and his heart that was violent due to today's events gradually softened. He sighed softly, unable to deal with this weakness of his own. He hugged Chu Jinyao tightly, and after a while, he said inaudibly, "Just watch what they want to do."

The emperor held a banquet in Xi Nei, and the singer first caught fire, and then the concubine and the princess were pushed into the water by the chaos. After pity was irritated with cold water, her stomach hurts that night, and her fetus was unsafe. The emperor was furious, and first sent a fire to the hospital, ordering them to keep the dragon fetus, and then ordered a thorough investigation of the fire.

However, when it was weird, the court ladies who performed the dance that day, the musicians in the church, including the **** courtesans who gave the idea, all confessed truthfully, but it was still impossible to find out who set the fire. In fact, everyone saw clearly what happened that day. The fire burst out suddenly by himself. It was not man-made at all, but Jin Yiwei didn't dare to talk like that, so he could only do more to extract a confession, trying to find the culprit of the "arson".

Because the spontaneous combustion of dancing girls is horrifying, and there were too many witnesses that day, and they couldn't seal them. Before Jin Yiwei could ask them out, some ghost rumors had quietly spread.

Especially the dragon seed in the belly of the pity is still in danger. The old gentlemen of the hospital are all frowning, and they feel that their heads are not safe. The master above is in a bad mood, and the minions below are all in danger. There are many female eunuchs in the Forbidden City, and the number of imperial courts has been severe for many years, and the number of deaths in the palace is countless. Some places are inevitably spooky. There are many taboos in the Forbidden City, and there are many people who believe in ghosts and monsters.

From nowhere, some people attributed this strange incident to the anger of the ghosts and gods. After turning a few hands, the culprit who angered the ghosts and gods had something to do with Donggong. Rumors in the Forbidden City are rampant, saying that the crown prince is **** his life and the punishment is against ghosts and gods, so there have been no new dragons and grandchildren in the palace for these years. Finally, she concealed one from the eyeliner from the sky, and finally angered the ghosts and gods in the Forbidden City, so the ghosts and gods cast yin and fire on a woman in Tsing Yi on the day of the banquet to warn the people in the palace. Moreover, no ghosts and gods just dropped the sky fire, and then the pity empress fell into the water. She is still in bed and unconscious, and the dragon seed in her belly is also fierce. This is retribution.

When Chu Jinyao heard this kind of rumors, Gong Wei had spread it both inside and outside. Even if the queen immediately ordered the rumors to be strictly prohibited, it would not help.

Soon, the turmoil in the palace continued to the outside. First, a little-known Hanlin played, euphemistically suggested that this strange incident may be a warning from the heavens, and the emperor and the prince should reflect on themselves. Afterwards, several fourth-grade civil servants played, followed by Yushi, and later the cabinet was alarmed. The identities of the people who played the events ranged from small to large, and their speeches ranged from euphemistic to fierce, like a tsunami accumulating power, layered on top of each other, and finally turned into a shocking wave.

The remarks of the Donggong’s depravity swept through the front dynasty of the harem. Since ancient times, the celestial phenomenon has been different or disasters have occurred frequently. At this time, the emperor didn't make any mistakes. He could only admit that his words and deeds were not pious enough, and his virtues were not noble enough. He first sinned himself and burned incense to pray for God's forgiveness. But the fact that the fire broke out this time is strange, and that day the palace lady wore a qingyi and painted a boat floating on the tens of thousands of miles of blue waves, and the eastern palace is the main tree, the blue color has always been the representative color of the prince, it seems that many elements point to one person.

In particular, it can be used as evidence that Qin Yi is not an ideal prince who is as gentle as a jade and a courteous and virtuous corporal. Since his canonization, he has acted unscrupulously and perversely and domineeringly, which seems reasonable to be disliked by heaven.

As things have developed to this day, Chu Jinyao understands why Qin Yi said, "What they want to do is just waiting." A suspicious case that seems to have no head and no brain, there is such a vicious mind lurking behind it. Obviously, the people behind this incident have been planning for a long time, so that only after a small introduction has exploded, first instigates rumors, and after the harem is panicked, quickly linked the previous court to impeach the East Palace.

The people below spit wildly, and the impeachment was fierce, but neither the cabinet nor the emperor expressed their views. Out of the tradition of the dynasty, once a minister is impeached, he should quit his official duties and stay at home to show his integrity without greed for power. It's just that the elders were all impeached. No one thought that one day the person impeached on a large scale would become the crown prince.

Early this morning, Chu Jinyao asked all the windows of the main hall to be opened. It rained last night, and today's wind still carries a unique moisture, which is cool and gentle. The breeze blew into the palace without hesitation, lifting the veil thin as a cicada's wings, disturbing the quietly scented golden beast, and crackling the unfinished books on the desk.

Chu Jinyao picked up the long-lost chess piece and slowly put it under Qin Yi's guidance. After Qin Yi was impeached, he didn't have to go to the morning court, nor did he have to go to the Wenhua Palace in the afternoon. He suddenly had a lot of time, and he thought of Chu Jinyao's chess skills that he gave up halfway. Chu Jinyao can see Qin Yi all day long. Of course she is happy, but more often than not, she is unaccustomed and worried.

"Focus." Qin Yi knocked on Chu Jinyao's forehead with his fingers and raised his eyebrows to look at her. "Have you always been so easily distracted, or just to me? Teach you to write and talk, and now play chess. Distracted too?"

"I didn't." Chu Jinyao swept away Qin Yi's hand unconvincedly, but she moved lightly in her heart. I don’t even mention whether she is easy to lose her mind. Qin Yi feels that she is easy to lose her mind. Actually, it is because many things that Chu Jinyao knows now are taught by Qin Yi. Because he was the only one, he felt a lot of distractions once or twice.

Chu Jinyao discovered this, and her heart was sour and moved. She gently put down a chess piece and tried to bring her attention back to the chessboard, but still not very effective: "His Royal Highness, outside...what should I do?"

Qin Yi snorted coldly, obviously looking down on those who dared to impeach him. But in front of Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi didn't mention the idiots disappointed, but said: "I can spend more time with you. Isn't that good?"

"Of course I would like to see your Royal Highness more." Chu Jinyao said, "But every time you stay with me one day, you have to be splashed with sewage one more day. Why are they? Besides, outside matters always have to be resolved. of."

In the past few days, the ministers of the Eastern Palace came to discuss matters, and they were also filled with outrage, but the reason was that they despised the emperor's power and shook the country. Only Chu Jinyao said that those outside were hurting Qin Yi.

This is probably the most naive reason Qin Yi has ever heard, but his heart is soft and incredible. Chu Jinyao was still taking the chess from the chessboard with his face in mind, and after picking up one with his fingers, he buckled it heavily, and hit the chessboard with a loud noise. Qin Yi laughed at Chu Jinyao's movements, and just by seeing how hard she pinched the chess pieces, she knew how angry she was now.

"It's okay." Qin Yi stretched out his arm and rubbed Chu Jinyao's cheek lightly. "I don't want to go to the court anyway. Just take a break during this time. As for those trivial chores, whoever cares about them Worry about it."

Qin Yi became serious as he spoke, and Chu Jinyao also waited earnestly for his next words, and finally heard him say: "During this time, many people have asked whether you are pregnant or not. I think since this is The will of the courtier, then we cannot ignore it."

"Oh, my lord!" Chu Jinyao suddenly became angry and reluctantly patted his arm, "I'm serious about talking to you, you are more serious!"

Qin Yi smiled and grabbed Chu Jinyao's hand. I don’t know why, every time he finishes teasing Chu Jinyao, his mood will improve strangely. Qin Yi's heart is ventilated, but he has the intention to investigate Chu Jinyao: "Since you are so enthusiastic about this, then Let me test you. Who do you think is the one who planned the fire, incited rumors, and also promoted impeachment?"
