After this day, Xue Shu put away his status in Ciqing Palace and took up a post as the Superintendent of Ceremonies.

And because Emperor Longfeng was ill, Yin Chengyu needed to handle all the affairs in the court, so he was busier than usual.

It was not until after the Laba Festival that Emperor Longfeng announced that he would stop attending court and all officials, both civil and military, would take a break and stop attending court meetings. Yin Chengyu felt a little more relaxed.

But this leisure is only limited to not having to attend court meetings. There are many things to do before the New Year. In addition, this year there are also envoys from Oara and Tatar to receive. The Hongren Hall of Ciqing Palace has daily

Officials came here to ask for an audience and discuss matters.

After being so busy on the tenth day of the lunar month, Yin Chengyu just found time to go to Kunning Palace to pay his respects. Before leaving, he thought about it and took the cub with him.

Since Yin Chenglai was born, Queen Yu, under the instruction of Yin Chengyu, excused herself from being unwell and that her young son needed someone to take care of her, so she turned down many affairs that required the Queen's attendance, and only focused on educating Yin Chenglai in Kunning Palace.

Yin Chenglai is eight months old now. Because he has been taken good care of, he is white, fat and round, like a round pink dumpling.

The grinning little boy, who had just grown two deciduous teeth, showed a completely different childlike innocence from his previous life.

In his previous life, Yin Chenglan was already five years old when he came back. He was taciturn, with no innocence of a child in his eyes, and had an extreme and stubborn temper. It took Yin Chengyu a lot of effort to bring him back. Although Yin Chengyu had never seen him when he was young.

Although he looks like a child, he must have had an unfortunate childhood.

Looking at the innocent little brother and the mother with a plump complexion and a peaceful expression, Yin Chengyu smiled at the corner of his eyes and eyebrows. He placed the tiger cub in his arms on the carpet and held Yin Chenglai who was sitting in the crib in his arms.

He clicked on the cub on the ground and said, "Have I brought you a playmate today?"

The cub was only about a foot long. After returning to the capital, the palace staff gave it a bath, fed it and took good care of it. It was already fatter than when it was first picked up.

At this time, it was placed on the ground by Yin Chengyu, and it was carefully exploring the surrounding environment with its stubby limbs, its round eyes full of curiosity.

Yin Chenglan also stared at the cub with wide eyes.

He can't talk or walk yet, he can only crawl, but he already knows how to play, and even learned to hum and act coquettishly. But he is still too young, and he is usually detained in Kunning Palace. Only in Yu

Only with the Queen's company can you go outside to relax in the garden.

About every day, the only person I saw coming back and forth was either Empress Yu or the nanny. Therefore, the little children were very interested in Yin Chengyu, who only came here occasionally, and did not recognize him at all.

He was held in his arms, biting his fingers, and looked at Yin Chengyu for a while, and then at the tiger cub on the ground. His eyes like glass beads were wide open, as if he didn't know which one to look at.

Seeing this, Empress Yu smiled and said, "He was much more noisy than you were when you were a child. He wanted to go out and play all day long. It was only when he was beaten to the point of being exhausted that he took him out to play.

"

Speaking of this, a look of worry appeared on her face, but she was just thinking about Yin Chengyu's hard work, but she didn't show it.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Although she did not participate in the affairs of the court, she had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child. Naturally, she could understand the changing situation of the previous dynasty.

Emperor Longfeng was addicted to wine and sex, and there were countless women in the harem. There was also a powerful Concubine Wen. Although she was the queen of the middle palace, she was not favored by Emperor Longfeng and could not help in many things.

All that can be done now is to take good care of Yin Chenglan as much as possible and not hold his son back.

However, Yin Chengyu understood her worries and put Yin Chenglai on the ground to let him play with the tiger cubs. He sat down next to Queen Yu and said warmly: "Yue'er is getting bigger and bigger, always.

We can no longer detain him in Kunning Palace like this. After a while, I will have some eunuchs from Dongchang who are trustworthy and good at kung fu come over, so that my mother can feel more relaxed."

After resurrecting his life, he reversed many things. The Yu family was not destroyed, and both Queen Yu and Yin Chenglan were safe.

But this does not mean that those who are staring at him and the Yu family have given up.

The relationship between the former dynasty and the harem was very close, so those people couldn't find a breakthrough from him, so they wanted to start with Queen Yu and Yin Chenglan. If Queen Yu hadn't been cautious on several occasions, she couldn't leave Kunning Palace so easily, then what?

These secret plots have succeeded.

"Why are you so hard, mother?" Queen Yu raised her hand and touched his cheek, saying distressedly: "It's true that you have lost some weight. Now, in order to avoid suspicion, your grandfather and uncles can't help with many things. They just

I can only rely on you."

Yin Chengyu didn't feel that he had lost weight, nor did he feel that it was hard.

Although these days have been busy, Emperor Longfeng was ill and could not attend to court affairs. His second assistant, Shao Tian, ​​and others were much more at ease because of Yin Chengzhang's death, and many things went according to his arrangements.

Compared to the last life?, it’s so much better.

He only regrets that the time is too short and there are too few people who can use it.

…

Yin Chengyu sat in Kunning Palace all morning and let the cub play with Yin Chenglan for a long time before preparing to return to Ciqing Palace.

Yin Chenglan had already regarded the cub as his playmate. When he saw that he was about to take his playmate away, he started to cry loudly as soon as his mouth dropped.

Queen Yu held him in her arms and coaxed him for a long time before he stopped crying. With only a bag of tears in his eyes, she looked at the young tiger who was held in Yin Chengyu's arms with her mouth closed and said, "Ah."

"Ah woo woo" sound?

The cub poked its head out of Yin Chengyu's arms and looked at him. Its two round ears were trembling, but it didn't seem like he was reluctant to give up.

"You are still too young, so Gu Xian will raise it for you. When you grow up, I will let him be your mount." Yin Chengyu felt dumbfounded and touched his little brother's head, and comforted him for a few words, but saw that he didn't say anything more.

I wanted to cry, so I left.

After leaving Kunning Palace, Zheng Duobao came up to him and whispered in his ear: "Princess sent someone here to send a message to invite Your Highness to have tea at Quyang Pavilion. It seems that something has happened."

It was rare that His Highness had time to come to Kunning Palace. He did not rush in to interrupt, but waited until someone came out before sending a message.

Yin Ciguang has always been very measured and would not come easily to look for him if nothing happened. Upon hearing this, Yin Chengyu handed the cub to Zheng Duobao: "Send the cub back and go alone."

Quyang Pavilion.

When Yin Chengyu passed by, he saw Yin Ciguang sitting in the pavilion. On the small red clay stove next to him, the pottery pot was gushing out water vapor. The boiling water lifted the lid of the pot, and it seemed to have been boiled.

for a long time.

Signaling the guards to stay where they were, Yin Chengyu walked forward and sat down opposite him without politeness: "Sister Huang, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"That means? He arrived a moment earlier than His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing him coming, Yin Ciguang put away his wandering thoughts, signaled the maid to step back, picked up the cup of boiling hot water on the stove, and personally made tea for him.

High and low brewing, his movements of making tea are smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

The clear tea soup fell into the teacup, which was exactly seventy percent full, and was pushed in front of Yin Chengyu.

"My concubine likes the tea I brew the most. Your Highness, please try it." Yin Ciguang looked at him through the white mist.

Yin Chengyu picked up the tea cup, lowered his head to smell the fragrance of the tea, and took a leisurely sip.

“Good tea.”

The tea cup was small, so after Yin Chengyu finished drinking it, he poured himself another cup of tea.

He sipped the tea carefully, with a calm look on his face, not rushing, waiting for Yin Ciguang to think about it before he spoke.

Wouldn't Yin Ciguang be honest? Invite him here for no reason? He must have something to say while drinking tea. I'm afraid he's in trouble because he's not opening his mouth right now.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the pavilion, and Yin Ciguang lowered his eyes to look at the floating tea leaves in the cup, and finally made up his mind: "Your Highness asked me earlier if I wanted to regain my identity. If I show up now, I said that I don't want to be trapped by this identity anymore.

Your Highness, are you still willing to help me?"

When he mentioned "restoring his identity", he clenched his fingers tightly and didn't even dare to look at Yin Chengyu.

He was not sure whether Yin Chengyu said it casually or if he was sincerely willing to help him when he was in the palace last time. He vaguely felt that it was the latter, but he was afraid of being disappointed.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary prince, but he is the eldest son.

The battle for the throne has always been inseparable from the word "eldest son".

He has no interest in the throne, he just wants to live a peaceful life with his mother, but others may not believe it.

He was also afraid that the prince would not believe him.

Yin Ciguang felt unspeakably sour in his heart, and could only wait anxiously for the answer.

"I can help you, but this matter is indeed risky. If things don't work out, both you and Concubine Rong may be convicted by your father. Have you thought clearly?"

Yin Ciguang suddenly looked up at him, with astonishment still in his eyes. He imagined many answers in his mind, but he didn't dare to think that he would answer so easily.

After being stunned for a moment, he realized what he was doing. His expression seemed sad and joyful, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I've thought about it clearly, I have no other choice."

"But what happened?" Yin Chengyu heard what he meant.

Yin Ciguang did not conceal what happened in the palace at that time.

"I was drugged at the time and was not conscious. I was not sure if there was any flaw. But after I returned to the palace, I found that someone had been secretly watching me, and the personal items in the house had all been rummaged through.

…”

Concubine Rong was careful in her work. In order to prevent any leakage, she asked the maid to prepare menstrual belts and put them in his room every month. But after returning to the palace, he found that the cabinet where menstrual belts and other private things were kept had been searched.

Found it.

Xixue, the maid who had served him since childhood, told him that in the past few days, there were always palace maids getting close to her and inquiring about his affairs.

Yin Ciguang had always been vigilant. Remembering the hands that closed the door when Mubar kidnapped him, he guessed that his secret might have been exposed. He asked Xixue to pay attention secretly and discovered those probing people.

Everyone is closely related to Jingren Palace.

Concubine Wen Gui is not a good person. She has not taken the next step now. It is probably because she has not determined whether it is true or false.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

Rather than leaving the situation in the opponent's hands, it is better to strike first.

Yin Chengyu knew that Mubal was injured, but he never expected that Yin Ciguang was involved.

He frowned, a little unhappy: "Well, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. Now that Concubine Wen is suspicious, she won't tolerate it for too long." He knocked on the table and called the accompanying guards to come over and let the other party know.

Go and send Xue Shu over?

If you want to accomplish this, you must get the cooperation of Master Ziyuan.

As soon as the guard left the pavilion and was about to look for someone, he saw Xue Shu in a crimson python robe walking from the end of the corridor.
