royal girl

Chapter 372
After the dynasty was over, King Huai had already consciously went to kneel outside the imperial study and begged the emperor for mercy.But Ji Qiyu was blocked in front of the palace gate by Ji Fuyan, the two looked at each other, and all the passing officials walked away quickly without looking sideways, as if they didn't notice the two princes here at all.

"I thought you would be merciful." King Ning was relieved to see that Prince Jing still cared about his brotherhood after all these days, but he didn't expect Ji Qiyu to do something wrong.

"The law shows no mercy. Since you have made a mistake, you must take responsibility. If you forgive him this time, you may make a bigger mistake next time. You are not saving him or harming him."

"You always have your own reasons, don't you think of brotherhood at all?"

"When you plotted me to send the counterfeit Yue Shuiqing, why didn't you think about brotherly love? Back then, when I almost lost my soul to Jiuquan on the way to the border, why didn't you think about brotherly love? My wife almost died in the palace. One corpse and two lives, why don’t you think about brotherhood? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to talk about brotherhood at this time?” Referring to the past, Ji Qiyu’s expression was a little ugly, and the grievances and resentments between them were really ten hands. The index is unclear.

King Ning's complexion was not very good either, he looked at Ji Qiyu and said, "If you talk like this, what do you say about Peng Liang back then? How can you say that you made me lose a lot by water transportation later? Let's talk about it, back then If you hadn’t played tricks during the draft, the final result wouldn’t have been the same as it was later, right? The tricks you did in Duke Ling’s Mansion and Duke Xin Guo’s Mansion, the two almost turned against each other, so what?”

The brothers know each other too well, and it's really heartbreaking to look up old accounts.

Ji Qiyu sneered, "You are only allowed to attack in secret, but no one else is allowed to plan for the future. What is the reason for this? Do you really think that no one knows what happened back then?"

King Ning was taken aback for a moment, "What happened back then?"

Ji Qiyu stared closely at King Ning's expression, and said for a long time, "I'll ask Empress Defei about this matter."

Looking at the back of Ji Qiyu striding away, King Ning always felt that his words did not seem casual, so he couldn't help frowning.The footsteps that were going outside the palace suddenly turned around and went back to the inner palace.

In Xiuyu Palace, Concubine De was resting on the soft couch, when she heard her son coming, she got up and asked someone to come in.I let the palace servants tidy up my clothes, and then I walked towards the bright room, and saw my son walking in with the curtain lifted, and said with a smile: "Why did you come so soon?"

"The son greets the concubine mother."

King Ning bowed to salute, was picked up by Concubine De, and said angrily: "There is no one else here, why are there more rules today, sit down." Then he ordered people to serve tea, and went to face his son, Seeing that his expression was a bit different, he thought about it carefully, in recent days, apart from the matter of Chen Guipin, it seemed that there was nothing else that made him unhappy.Why is she pulling a face like this?
She had doubts in her heart, but Concubine De took the tea offered by the palace servants, put it in front of her son with her own hands, and asked softly: "Brother Han is okay, I have time to bring her into the palace and show it to the palace. It's no wonder I'm panicking."

Ning Wang patiently chatted with his mother and concubine, "Everything is fine, Bingyu took good care of the two children." Hearing that the mother and concubine only asked Brother Han but not Sister Jiu, he This made me feel a little uncomfortable, although Sister Jiu is not very bright, she is also her own daughter, the granddaughter of the mother concubine, how can she see it with such a strange glance.If those sharp-eyed servants looked at her, which one would give Sister Jiu a high look, her heart became more and more depressed, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with the concubine mother.

Hearing her son Tete say that the two children are fine, Concubine De still doesn't understand something, and she is flustered with anger. Sister Jiu is not very bright at first glance, and she doesn't know what to listen to every time she is brought into the palace. Those sluts laughed at her somewhat, she didn't want to see this granddaughter at all, but seeing her son unhappy about this, she couldn't help but blame her daughter-in-law for having such a child, which made their mother-child relationship estranged.Annoyed in his heart, but still pretending not to know on the face, he asked a few more questions about sister Jiu's situation, seeing his son's face calm down, and then changed the subject to ask him why.Since the son opened the mansion, it is not easy to come to the harem at will. Today, he came without notifying in advance, there must be something wrong.

King Ning just glanced at the palace servants and didn't speak, Concubine De understood, waved everyone to go down, and then said: "There is no one else this time, so just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Ji Fuyan was still pondering over what Ji Qiyu said, if there was anything he wanted to ask his mother, who could have something to do with Ji Qiyu, and his mother and concubine, counting with his fingers, only Fang Jieyu, who died young in Xianghun, is gone.After giving birth, Fang Jieyu passed away in weak health. This matter is not a secret in the harem, but I heard that the slaves in the yard where the father was furious did not survive, and this matter has since become a secret in the palace. No one wants to bring it up to cause bad luck.And as the age gets older, everyone can see how the emperor's father treats the fourth child, let alone mentioning that Fang Jieyu made the emperor unhappy. Over the years, it has become a taboo thing in the palace, and no one dares. Mentioned lightly.

Now that Ji Qiyu suddenly mentioned this, he couldn't help wondering if there was something hidden about what happened back then, especially his mother and concubine. Could it be that Fang Jieyu's early death had something to do with his mother and concubine? ?If this is the case... King Ning suddenly felt a little cold in his heart. He has always believed that he has always been a righteous man, and he is worthy of the world.In the political affairs of the court, brothers fight each other to hide their scheming, it is for the future future, it is a fair contest, whether you lose or win, it all depends on your own means.But if it was also involved in the murder of people in the harem, he would not know how to deal with it.There are so many women in his house, Peng side concubine's natal family dragged him hard, he was only locked up, and there was no shortage of servants who used his status, even a counterfeit like Yue Shuiqing would spare his life, He was also asked to go to Zhuangzi to spend the rest of his life. He has never been a person who can be cruel to women. Now he suddenly suspects that the death of the fourth brother's biological mother may have something to do with his own mother. code of conduct.

Seeing her son in a daze and still not speaking, Concubine De felt a little flustered in her heart. Could it be that something serious happened?Thinking about it carefully, I really didn't do anything recently, the emperor held up the matter of Chen Guifei, and she was reprimanded, but it was nothing more than promoting Chen Guifei, let alone what I did For such a virtuous act, even the emperor only said that she didn't know people clearly.Then what else can make a son like this?For a moment, she really couldn't think of it, so she couldn't help but frowned, "If you have something to say, you should say it."

Ji Fuyan raised his head and heaved a sigh of relief, only feeling that the mountain above his heart made him almost out of breath.But if you ask directly, you will definitely not be able to find out anything. He knows the temperament of his mother and concubine very well. After thinking about it, he said: "Today, I met the fourth brother at the door."

Concubine De felt a little relieved when she heard this, and said casually: "You don't see each other someday, why did he say something? You don't have to think that he is a head shorter than him, even if he named a prince It’s just a bright face.”

King Ning was taken aback, then turned his mind and asked deliberately with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Why does he have a good face, he is the first among our brothers, who doesn't give him some face now. Speaking of which, I It is my father's favorite among the brothers, everyone says so, but this prince has not been crowned on my head, I don't know how many people see me as a joke."

When Ji Fuyan complained so sincerely, Concubine De couldn't be suspicious, and immediately said: "What do you know, as long as your father is not confused, then no matter how beautiful Ji Qiyu is, this prince will sit in the old age in the future." Yes. You should be more wary of King Jia. He was raised by the empress. He has a good relationship with Ji Qiyu. It's not good for you to tie these two together. I said that you should get Ji Qiyu if you have the opportunity before. Press it down, I don't want to let him grow up year after year." As she spoke, Concubine De's complexion was also very bad, "After all, she gave birth to a good daughter, and I don't know how she fell into your father's eyes. Speaking of which, Ji Qiyu was conferred the title of Prince due to the merits of Sister Zhao and the grievances of the Marquis of Bei'an, it is really bad luck for him to never think about such an honor again."

He had never discussed Ji Qiyu with his mother and concubine in such a detailed way before, but this time he deliberately led the topic to this aspect, and he quickly heard something was wrong.But he couldn't act too hastily to reveal his own thoughts, so he could only suppress it, and then suppressed it, and asked curiously: "You are so sure, father really won't have any thoughts about fourth brother? I recently Watching from the sidelines, I feel that the father and the fourth brother really seem to be so different, what was like before, and now, it is not a big change."

Concubine De twitched her mouth when she heard her son's words, she showed a slight smile, and just said: "It probably won't, so don't worry."

Why not?Concubine De refused to say a word.

Ji Fuyan tried several times but failed to get any useful information, and almost aroused the suspicion of Concubine De, so he didn't dare to pass it, so he had to pretend to be a little disappointed and leave the palace.On the way out of the palace, the more Ji Fuyan thought about it, the more he felt that things were not easy. He knew a little about his mother and concubine's temperament, and the most important thing was to be sharp and strong, otherwise he wouldn't have to deal with so many things in the palace.It's just that other things are easy to talk about, but the matter about Fang Jieyu is tight-lipped, and he refuses to say a word. The more Ji Fuyan thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable Ji Qiyu's words were. .

Could it be that his mother and concubine really had something to do with Fang Jieyu's death?
If this is the case, there is really a feud between him and Ji Qiyu that killed his mother, and I'm afraid it will never be resolved.

Stepping out of the palace with heavy steps, Ji Fuyan was preoccupied with something, but he didn't notice a figure at the corner of the palace gate watching him and then disappearing after leaving the palace.

"Have you seen clearly?" Concubine Han asked while looking at the little eunuch.

"Yes, this servant is serious. King Ning came out of Xiuyu Palace with a worried look on his face. Not only did he not notice this servant, but he didn't even notice the others walking past him. Don't worry, master, this servant is well hidden. It will never be discovered."
