The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 45
The recent turmoil in Zhongli's royal family stemmed from the struggle between these two factions. The third prince's faction pointed out that the prince's subordinates accepted bribes and formed a party for personal gain.One of the two parties tried its best to collect and produce evidence, while the other side continued to destroy and destroy the evidence. Due to the large number of officials involved, the internal affairs were in chaos, which has continued to this day without any results.

"Probably the third prince will win." Jinse guessed.

"You know?" Lu He asked casually while looking at the dazzling array of women's accessories in the market.

"Because Song Heng is on his side." Jinse said, "Can you imagine Song Heng losing?"

"Why not?" Lu He said lightly, "If you didn't believe that he had no other intentions at the beginning and refused to come back to Zhongli with him, wouldn't he be considered defeated? Defeated or undefeated is only in your mind That's all."

"Then from what you said, you don't really believe him?" Jinse said.

Lu He chuckled: "What does it matter if I believe it or not? In short, you just believe him or not?"

Jinse smiled and stretched out her hand to hold her: "Don't worry, I won't be wrong about Song Heng. On the contrary, you were not so unfamiliar with him in the past, why are you on guard now? Is it because you are afraid of him? If you become a prince again, will you pick up the habits of those dandies?"

Lu He suddenly withdrew her hand: "Whether he is a dude or not, what does it matter to me?"

Jinse patted the back of her hand, smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if he has a group of concubines in the future, I will definitely ask him to give you a good title and treat you very well, so I will Will give you to her."

Lu He was furious, and slapped her hand away.

Jinse's judgment on Song Heng's person has not yet been proven, but her judgment on Song Heng's ability will soon have the result-three days later, the crown prince was deposed, and his followers were either demoted or cut, In short, it is a serious injury, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a comeback.

That night, Song Heng, who hadn't seen his face since the brocade was settled, finally showed up in the other courtyard. He was still dressed in plain clothes like before, without any extra ornaments on his body, and there was nothing ostentatious about him.

Although Jinse never liked all kinds of troubles in the palace, she seemed very happy to see him like this, so she prepared wine and food as a celebration for Song Heng.

"Congratulations, you have won the first battle, and you have won a big victory!"

Song Heng was still calm and calm: "What is there to say about a complete victory? Although he has won fame and power for the third brother, he has also made countless enemies for himself. The word 'complete victory' probably does not exist in this world. of."

Jinse's smile faded away, and at the end, she snorted coldly and said, "I kindly toasted you to celebrate, but you are fine, it's so boring to just say these spoiling things!"

Only then did Song Heng take the wine in front of her and drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Have you taken any places to visit in the past few days?"

"It's not very interesting to go to the market for two days." Jin Se replied.

God knows that she really just said it casually, but it's not interesting. In the current situation, she can't arouse any interest in those new and interesting things.But I didn't expect that God really sympathized with her this time. She just said it was boring, but there was a big "meaning" sent to her door.

After drinking and eating, Song Heng wanted to go back to the palace. Jinse sent him to the door, and suddenly heard him say: "Recently, I have become more stable. I will go back and search for some good things, and I will bring them to you next time. Zhong There are actually quite a few strange and interesting things in Li Palace."

"Of course that's good, but who knows when you'll be back next time?"

Jinse curled her lips, and turned her gaze aside with a little disdain.

Turning around, she suddenly saw a carriage galloping in front of her. She only felt that before she had time to take a second look, the carriage had already driven to the gate of the other courtyard and stopped.

The expression on Song Heng's face changed slightly.

Jinse was just about to turn her head and ask if he was here to pick up his carriage, when a voice she was familiar with came from inside the carriage, with unhesitating anger and coquettishness——

"Earlier in the morning, I heard that the Fourth Highness's other courtyard hides a beauty, but today I want to see what kind of beauty is hidden in this courtyard!"

Jinse couldn't help being startled, the people in the carriage had already lifted the curtain, and the two of them looked at each other, both stunned.

"Song Jinse!" Qing Chu suddenly yelled, "Why are you here?"

When Jinse came back to her senses, she was really surprised—how could Qingchu be here?

Qingchu immediately jumped out of the carriage, just looking at her and Song Heng: "I should have guessed that the one who can take care of your Highness the Fourth Highness is not an ordinary woman?" After speaking, she suddenly turned to Jinse again, Jieao said, "I heard that the emperor accepted you as a righteous sister and made you the princess of Chang'an. In this case, why is the princess of Chang'an not polite when he sees me?"

Jinther paused for a moment, and finally bowed to salute: "I have seen the princess."

Qing Chu looked at her, and curled the corners of her lips coldly: "Since you have been named the princess of Chang'an, and you are not enjoying the glory and wealth in the middle of the capital, what are you doing here? Don't tell me that the emperor sent you here Mission?"

If Jinse was just puzzled before, after Qingchu said this, the doubt in her heart gradually turned into shock——Qingchu even asked her why she didn't enjoy the glory in the capital, that is to say, she didn't know the number at all. What happened a month ago?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help thinking of that incident, Jinse's face turned pale, and she felt a little dizzy for a moment, she turned around and walked to the other courtyard without saying anything more.

"Stop!" Qingchu became angry immediately, "This princess is asking you, did you hear me?"

Seeing that she was about to chase after her, Song Heng held her hand lightly, stopping her way: "Princess, Jinse is my king's distinguished guest."

"You picked her up?" Qingchu turned to him immediately, and there was a kind of anger and anger in her words that suddenly dawned on her, "No wonder you went out suddenly a few days ago, and others said you were going to pick up your sixth brother, but you The sixth brother returned to the palace earlier than you, so you went to pick her up!"

Song Heng was noncommittal, and only told the servants in the other courtyard: "Close the door, and don't let outsiders disturb you."

His serious master was still standing at the door, and the people inside wouldn't dare to close the door, they were all taken aback when they heard the words, until Song Heng glanced over again, a few people hurriedly closed the door.

"Song Heng!" Qingchu was so angry that her face was red and her eyes were wet: "Why do you treat her so well? What is she worth? She is an abandoned wife who was abandoned by my third brother, and at the same time, she has no relationship with you and my second brother. I don’t know, what’s so good about such a woman? And me, what’s wrong with you? Even now that your identity is known, you are Zhongli’s Fourth Highness, I can ask myself enough to match you, let alone Did I ever despise you when you were just a teacher who couldn't speak? I ignored my mother's anger because of you, and went all the way to find Zhongli. In the past few months, I couldn't get used to eating or living. Have I ever complained?"

"The princess loves her so much, Qi Lian dare not be her." Song Heng let go of her hand and walked down the steps slowly.

"Yes!" Qingchu was extremely angry, and finally couldn't help crying, "It's this sentence again, always this sentence! You are always so lukewarm, rejecting me thousands of miles away, why do you have it?"

Just as Song Heng took a few steps, he was suddenly embraced by Qingchu himself. She was probably really angry, buried her face in his vest, opened her mouth suddenly, and bit down hard on his back.

Song Heng just frowned slightly, but remained unmoved.

Gradually, Qingchu finally lost his strength, let go, and buried himself on his back, weeping lowly: "I received a letter from my mother a few days ago, and my mother was very angry that I left. She was so angry that I became seriously ill. Talk about it... say you want to send third brother to catch me back... but I'm not reconciled, I just want to be with you..."

Song Heng finally sighed: "Princess, Qi Lian already has someone in his heart."

"That Song Jinse?" Qing Chu suddenly raised her head, and walked around in front of him, "What's so good about her, tell me, I don't believe she can do it, I can't!"

"It's not Jinse." Song Heng looked at her and said calmly, "This person in my heart is more important than Jinse. In my life, I will never marry her."

After that day, Jinse was depressed for two days, and during those two days, Qingchu didn't bother her.On the third day, Jinse regained her spirits, but welcomed another guest.

Jinse knew without thinking that Qingchu would definitely tell Jinghao about her being here, so when Jinghao came to the door, Jinse was not even half surprised.

"Fourth brother is really serious. Knowing that I have always had some friendship with you, even after I brought you back, I didn't even tell me. Not only didn't I tell, but I kept it from myself." Jing Hao smiled slightly, and said, "A few days ago, I was in the womb. Some people say that only Princess Qingchu has the thought of hiding a beauty in his other courtyard, and she actually found you. If it wasn't so, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know you're here."

"This time I came here just for fun, so I dare not disturb the princess." Jinse replied.

"So you really don't consider me a friend anymore." Jinghao sighed slightly, "Are you blaming me for not telling you his real identity when I met fourth brother in Qingyue? When I saw him, I was also shocked. A few years ago, he disappeared without a trace, and suddenly reappeared in Qingyue. meet your face."

If she didn't mention it, Jinse almost forgot about it. Now that she heard it, she remembered how calm and composed she was when Jing Hao saw Song Heng that day. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

"It's so good." Jing Hao said, "I heard that you came, and I specially prepared a gift for you. Come!"

Suddenly, someone from the palace walked in with a brocade box, and was about to present it to Jinse, but when he was about to approach, he tripped over him and fell to the ground.

The brocade box fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The palace man immediately changed his face, and hurriedly picked up the brocade box again, opened it, and found that the porcelain inside had been broken.

"The servant deserves to die, the servant deserves to die, please forgive me, princess!"

"Why are you so careless?" Jinghao frowned slightly, "Haven't you gone back and changed?"

"Yes." The palace man hurriedly tidied up the broken pieces of porcelain in the brocade box, but suddenly exclaimed, "Ah—"

"What's the matter?" Jing Hao asked slightly displeased.

The palace servant hurriedly kowtowed again: "This servant is disrespectful. This servant just accidentally cut her finger, please forgive me, princess."

Hearing this, Jinse involuntarily glanced at her hand, but when she saw the bright red blood on her hand, her face turned pale suddenly.She hurriedly looked away, and picked up the teacup on the table to drink water, but the tea was too hot for her to hold, and the cup fell to the ground with a "snap" and shattered.

Jinghao raised her eyes and glanced at Jinse, but seeing her face was as pale as paper, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Today, I really answered the word Suishianping. Since you are so kind to plead for this girl, then I will forgive you." She, still haven't thanked the princess?"

Jinse took a look at Jing Hao, and then saw the palace servant kowtowing to her in a hurry to thank her, she couldn't help but tremble a little, then she calmed down slightly, and said: "It's not a big deal, you just go on."

The palace man backed away, Jing Hao looked at Jin Se again, cared for Jin Se's burned fingers, and said: "By the way, I heard something a few days ago, it is said that King Qin of Qingyue was stabbed, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Jinse's face, which had just recovered slightly, was as pale as paper again in an instant: "I heard?"

Jinghao thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Actually, it's not considered hearing. You also know what I'm thinking, so when I came back, I deliberately left two people in Qingzhou. This news was originally confidential, but it was discovered by them anyway. came out. Even the news of the assassination has never been known to the outside world, let alone the assassin. But, thinking about what you asked me last time, I have some doubts. The assassin, could it be you?"

The news of his... being assassinated was actually kept from him?By whom?Why hide it?

No wonder, no wonder she has never heard of any news of arresting herself during this journey. It turned out that no one knew about it at all!

Jinse lost her mind as she thought about it, almost lost her composure.

Jinghao got up suddenly and stepped forward, stretched out her hand to shake Jinse, and said in horror: "It's really you?"

Jinse raised her head slowly, looking at Jinghao with a gloomy face, as if she couldn't hear what she asked at all.

She had already tried her best not to think about it, she didn't want to, she didn't dare, even Song Heng wanted to ask before, but she stopped him!
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she just couldn't think about it, even the slightest thing related to that incident would make her lose her soul suddenly, her heart seemed to be tightly pinched, she couldn't breathe, and she was powerless Struggling is just painful, but it almost makes people want to die.

Occasionally, in the dead of night, a flash of the scene of that day would flash in her dream, but it was only one or two images, and she would wake up suddenly.

Only then would she subconsciously think about what she was afraid of, and finally come to a conclusion—probably because she was afraid of death.He was afraid that Qingyue's group would take him back and execute him.

Since you are afraid of death, let yourself live well. If you live, you will not die or suffer.

"Jinse?" Seeing that her face was so pale that it was scary, Jinghao couldn't help calling her softly, "Are you okay?"

Her palms were warm and touched Jinse's cold fingertips. Jinse was startled suddenly, looked up at her, and finally seemed to recover, and replied in a calm tone: "I'm fine."

"Really?" Jinghao smiled slightly, "You look so scary. I thought I said something wrong."

Jinse kept taking deep breaths and shook her head with all her strength.

"Actually, why are you doing this?" Jinghao stuffed the hot tea into Jinse's cold palm, and then sighed softly, "Despite everything, try everything to assassinate him. If you do it, you will have no way to survive. What's more, although he is almost dead from his injuries, he is still alive after all."

The teacup in Jinse's hand fell to the ground again.

"What did you say? He...isn't dead?" Jinse seemed to be unable to believe it, but also seemed to be in despair. In short, tears welled up in her eyes, "Is he still alive?"

"Yeah." Jing Hao looked at her and smiled slightly, "I heard that he was seriously injured, and he still hasn't woken up. But maybe he was hanged by imperial medicine. You also Don't be so upset."

Jinse suddenly covered her face, wiped away the tears on her face, but she still couldn't recover, and stood there in a daze, looking at a loss.

"What's the matter? Are you still thinking about going back and killing him again?" Jinghao slightly widened her eyes and said, "You must not be impulsive!"

And... kill him again?
Jing Hao's words echoed unconsciously in Jinse's mind, she didn't know what it meant, but she just felt terrible: "No—"

Jinghao hurriedly grabbed her and said: "It's not good. You hurt him so badly, but you have avenged him and fulfilled your wish. It is best not to commit murder while you are alive. I see you My mood is really a little confused, I happen to be going to Xiangguo Temple to pay pilgrimage in two days, why don't you go up with me for a few days?"

Jinse didn't know if she agreed or when Jinghao left, but she just remembered that when she saw Luhe for the last time, she couldn't help but threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

"Luhe, he didn't die...he didn't die...why didn't he die..."

Three days later, when the carriage that Jinghao sent to pick up Jinse stopped at the gate of the other courtyard, Jinse and Luhe were very surprised, until a maid reminded them that Jinse had agreed to Jinghao's invitation that day, I want to accompany her to stay in Xiangguo Temple for a few days.

Lu He frowned slightly at the moment.

For the past two days, Jinse's energy has been extremely sluggish, and she has nightmares every night, and she still had a slight fever in the middle of the night last night, but she is better now, but she still has no energy.

She glanced at Jinse, who was in a bad mood, and said, "I went back to her, you are not feeling well, how can you move around?"
