When Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen arrived, the two sides in the Yangju Hall were at loggerheads.

When Prince Jing and his wife came, Concubine Yue's face turned pale, she pursed her lips and knelt there.

Emperor Liang didn't say anything when he saw this stubborn son, but was surprised when he saw the blood on Yan Zhen's shoulder: "Ah Zhen, why are you injured?"

It turned out that along the way, the wound on the shoulder had begun to ooze blood.She changed into a light-colored dress, making the bloodstains more conspicuous.

Concubine Yue was shocked, her eyes were fixed, and she knew that she could only grit her teeth and deny it.

"Responding to my father's words, when the daughter-in-law and the prince were going to the Zhiluo Palace to pay their respects to the mother and concubine, they met Brother Yu on the way. Seeing that his expression was anxious, he was not as calm as usual. When he saw us, husband and wife, he stepped forward to greet each other. Let me ask you something." Yan Zhen paused here, and turned his eyes to Concubine Yue, "Brother Yu said that he saw the crown prince brought Sima Lei into Zhaoren Palace. He learned from his mother's greetings that the concubine invited Nihuang County The host is a guest. After all, Nihuang is an unmarried woman. It is inappropriate to see a foreigner after all. I am afraid that Nihuang will make mistakes in Zhaoren Palace. Words, we husband and wife did not believe it at first. After all, brother Yu and the crown prince had many disagreements in political matters. But after all, this is not only about Princess Nihuang, the outsider entered the inner courtyard of the palace. big event."

Concubine Yue was horrified when Yan Zhen's hat of "Yin Chaos Harem" was buttoned down. Seeing Emperor Liang's expression changed, she was about to plead when Yan Zhen spoke again.

"My daughter-in-law knows that this is a serious matter. I also know Brother Yu's difficulties. After all, it would be inappropriate for the guards to barge in. If the prince and I go to Zhaoren Palace to greet the imperial concubine, this will save both parties from embarrassment. But did not expect……"

Speaking of this, Yan Zhen coughed a few times out of breath, pulling on the wound.

Emperor Liang hurriedly got her up and asked Gao Zhan to give her a seat. Xiao Jingyan helped her to sit down, and Yan Zhen thanked her.

Xiao Jingyan continued: "When the minister and the concubine entered the inner courtyard of Zhaoren Palace, Sima Lei was indeed beside the princess, and his behavior was extremely inappropriate. Seeing the emergency, the minister had no choice but to be rude and wanted to force the princess out. Concubine In order to stop the prince, the prince ordered the guards to shoot arrows at random, and the princess was injured. In desperation, the prince had to hold the prince as a hostage in order to save his life, and delayed until the empress dowager arrived. The minister knew the knife Threatening the crown prince is not a light crime, but he is unwilling to hide the truth from his father in order to cover up his own wrongdoing. Please think about it carefully, if the prince is not in a hurry, why would the crown prince want to shoot and kill his son to silence his words?"

Queen Yan didn't know that there was such a scene, so she said a word to add insult to injury.

"Concubine Yue! Is there such a thing?" Emperor Liang's face sank like water, and he was already furious.

The noble concubine Yue gritted her teeth, raised her head and said, "Since the empress, princess, Prince Jing and Concubine Jing have repeatedly accused the concubine of guilt, the concubine dare not argue further, nor dare to ask for any evidence. The concubine only asks your Majesty to be wise and wise." Judgment, if His Majesty also thinks that the concubine is guilty, my mother and son will accept the punishment and never dare to complain."

She retreated like this, Emperor Liang hesitated, don’t believe it, accuse with one voice, believe it, and feel that there are too many voices, it’s inevitable that there is a drum in his heart, while hesitating, the eunuch outside the palace said: "Your Majesty, Meng Zhi See you, Commander."

Emperor Liang was dealing with such a serious incident and didn't want to be disturbed, so he waved his hand and said, "See you later."

The eunuch bowed and retreated, and reappeared a moment later, saying: "Your Majesty, Commander Meng ordered the slave to report on his behalf, saying that he captured Sima Lei, a foreign minister who trespassed outside Zhaoren Palace, please His Majesty."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked.

But after being surprised, his expression was different.

Concubine Yue's face was tense, and the prince's face was like dirt. King Jing and the princess exchanged a thoughtful look with Yan Zhen. It seems that the mood is extremely complicated.

After a long silence that was almost suffocating, Emperor Liang raised his somewhat heavy arm and signaled the eunuch who came to report back to step back.

"Concubine Yue...what else do you have to say?" Different from the stern voice before, this question was extremely gentle and exhausting, but to people's ears, it was extraordinarily frightening.

Concubine Yue's gorgeous makeup could no longer conceal her pale complexion. After turning her head and staring blankly at Aizi, she rushed to the throne and knelt down, hugged Emperor Liang's leg, and cried out in a trembling voice; "Injustice..."

"At this point, you still want to complain?"

"The concubine knows that she has not been wronged," Concubine Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, her expression was extremely sad and moving, "But the crown prince was wronged!"

"What did you say?"

"All of this is the concubine's plan, the concubine's arrangement. The crown prince doesn't know anything... It was the concubine who lied and wanted to see, and told him to bring Sima Lei into the palace. He was just following his mother's orders. You know the emperor, Xuan'er has always been filial, not only to his concubines, but also to the emperor!"

The noble concubine Yue was so charming that she wanted to arouse Emperor Liang's compassion, but Yan Zhen's usual protective nature could not be allowed to make trouble for her.

"What is the noble concubine asking the prince to bring Sima Lei in?" Yan Zhen looked at the noble concubine Yue coldly, "It is a serious crime for a foreigner to enter the palace without permission, and it is an insult to the concubines in the backyard, and it also disturbs the relationship between the harem." What is the noble concubine calling Sima Lei into the palace at the risk of the world?"

Yan Zhen brought her name to Yin Chaos Palace again, Liang Emperor was suspicious again, at this time his heart became even more angry,

Concubine Yue was so angry with Yan Zhen that her teeth were itching, but she wanted to save the prince no matter what, insisting that the prince was innocent, and even cried to the emperor periodically: "Xuan'er is born with a pure and filial nature, this kind of thing He can't do it! It's because he doesn't know how to protect himself and is always accidentally bullied by people with ulterior motives, so he worries so much about him and wants the support around him A little more, so that you won't be plotted against..."

Empress Yan knew that Yan Zhen was always smart, so she originally expected her to say a few more words to make Concubine Yue suffer a little.But after Yan Zhen said those words, she didn't move her mouth again, but just watched how Emperor Liang kept the crown prince with cold eyes.

Although Emperor Liang made the Yue family his concubine and made the prince reflect on himself, he still protected their mother and son.

Yan Zhen didn't speak any more, Emperor Liang was very satisfied with Nihuang's sense of humor, after all, he was the woman and son whom he had doted on for many years, so he let them go as soon as he comforted Nihuang.

Nihuang followed Prince Jing and his wife, strolling in Miyagi.

"Tomorrow, take your things and go thank King Yu." Yan Zhen said to Nihuang.

"You asked Mr. Su for help, so that's why?" Nihuang knew about the plan yesterday, and only then thought about how Yan Zhen could point the prince's finger at others in this dispute. She smiled, "That's right, you put this The favor was given to King Yu, and this time he hurt the crown prince again. I'm afraid it's too late for King Yu to be happy."

Yan Zhen nodded, lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "Concubine Yue has been in the harem for many years. It is absolutely impossible for you to bring down the mother of the Eastern Palace by yourself. But another way of saying it is not certain."

From the very beginning, Yan Zhen never thought of finding an excuse for Concubine Yue to step down from Nihuang.

As a man, no one likes his hat to be green, or look green.

Emperor Liang was no exception.

More importantly, what the crown prince is facing is the great crime of being unkind, unrighteous, filial and unfriended, such as "using the emperor to trap the ministers, helping the mother to rape the princess, and trying to shoot and kill the brothers to silence the mouth".

From the beginning, Yan Zhen didn't expect to pull the prince off the horse all at once, she just wanted to shake his position in Emperor Liang's heart.

"Nihuang, you should go back home to rest as soon as possible today. You don't have to come see me off." Yan Zhen was helped into the carriage by Xiao Jingyan. She looked at the heroic Nihuang, and suddenly thought of Mei Changsu who was dying of illness. Can not help but sigh with emotion.

But she had already promised Mei Changsu that she would not tell anyone his identity.

Keeping promises is the meaning of all friends.

"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen were sitting in the carriage, leaning on his shoulder, she was in a troubled state of mind.

"Ah Zhen..." Xiao Jingyan embraced her, let her lean on his leg, stroked the hair on her sideburns, swallowed Qianyan after seeing her tired expression, and said in a low and steady voice, "You are tired, sleep."

"Huh?" Yan Zhen raised his eyelids, his starry eyes were misty, "Nihuang will send Tingsheng and the others over tomorrow, and his residence has to be arranged. Although his identity cannot be put in front of others, he is of the blood of Brother Wang after all... ..."

"Yeah, I know. I'll arrange it." Xiao Jingyan looked down and saw her pink and white earlobe exposed, and there was a red coral jade on it, which was as red as the wound on her shoulder, "Ah Zhen, come on." Don't do this again."

Yan Zhen was so sleepy that she answered in a daze.

When Ye Yanzhen was haunted by the nightmare, and she had a fever, Xiao Jingyan was even more impatient, and the whole Prince Jing's mansion was in turmoil for a while, and the commotion didn't stop until midnight.

On the second day, although Yan Zhen was already well, she had been tossing around for most of the night, with a wan look on her face.

Princess Yu Zhu Lanjin came to see her.

"Why is Mrs. Wang here?" Yan Zhen hurriedly asked Zhu Ji to serve tea.

Concubine Yu is innocent and kind by nature, her personality is very gentle and kind, her appearance is dignified and majestic, she is really a good match.

Seeing that Yan Zhen's face was dull but did not change her elegant demeanor, she said: "Yesterday, I heard the talk from the queen mother and the prince. Today I came to see you specially, is it better?"

Zhuji came up with snacks and tea, Yan Zhen nodded slightly, poured tea for Princess Yu herself, and said to Zhuji, "Let Liuli bring Ajiu here to meet the elders."

"Yes."

Concubine Yu has no children, not even the entire Prince Yu Mansion. She has always liked children, and when she heard Xiao Youning's name, she smiled: "In the past few days, I heard that Ajiu often goes to the Empress Dowager's place, and the Empress Dowager likes her very much. Really A bright boy."

"Sister-in-law, don't praise her. This girl has already been pampered by Jingyan to the point of lawlessness, but she gave birth to a child whose temper is very much like her father's, a real little calf. I'm so pale, I'm afraid I can't sing enough. "

Yan Zhen's starry eyes were smiling, her red lips were lightly pursed, and her words revealed the intimacy with Xiao Jingyan.

Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking of her and Prince Yu, although they were gentle and caring, but there was something wrong after all.

Chatting among the sisters-in-law, with Xiao Youning on the side in Caiyi entertaining relatives, it was a joy.

Unknowingly, they talked about the princess.

"The princess is also bitter. The prince always likes those side concubines more." Yan Zhen sighed, she always got along well with her sister-in-law, and she often walked between them when she returned to Jinling. The matter of childlessness is very indifferent to her, but she was born in a Zanying family after all, and her ancestors also have titles. It is really a pity that Yue concubine treats her so contemptuously."

Even if she is a political enemy, Princess Yu has contacts with the Crown Princess, she is a woman after all, and she sympathizes with the Crown Princess' experience.

They chatted for a while and then broke up. Yan Zhen asked Zhu Ji to send off Princess Yu on her behalf.

Xiao Youning nestled in Yan Zhen's arms, tilted his head, and stared at her with a pair of watery eyes.

Seeing her daughter's cute appearance, Yan Zhen nodded her little nose and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, little girl?"

Xiao Youning wrinkled his nose, and said with some distress: "Mother, why are there so few children in Uncle's family, and they didn't play with Ah Jiu anymore."

Yan Zhen smiled and patted her head, but didn't make a sound.

But her heart is like a mirror.

The cycle of heaven and karma.

Nothing in the world can escape this.

"In a while, Aunt Nihuang will send her three older brothers over to be taught by your father. If they finish school, they can play together."

Yan Zhen patted her daughter's head, looked far away at the direction Princess Yu was leaving, and the corner of her mouth curled slightly.
