After Cheng Qing came to the capital, he became more and more familiar with Meng Huaijin. In the past, Meng Huaijin called her name, Junior Brother Cheng, and now he sometimes called her Xiaolang.

Concubine Ning and the fourth prince were in trouble, and there was one less competitor to compete with the eldest prince for the position of crown prince, and the situation in the palace would also change. If Cheng Qing wanted to avenge Cheng Rong, this was really not a good thing.

Cheng Qing heard something else from Meng Huaijin's words:

"Senior brother, do you think of the fifth prince?"

Meng Huaijin didn't say anything to death.

"This 'Yansheng Case' gives me the feeling that you were attacked. We thought the truth had been found out, and we were even infinitely close to the truth, but we always felt that something was wrong. Whether the fifth prince will take the initiative depends on what Xiao Yunting plans."

Xiao Yunting is indeed very strange.

Are you really that kind-hearted and only create opportunities for Cheng Qing?

This man took over Qianqiuyan's job and took the initiative to investigate the "Yansheng case", but he acted in a low-key manner and gave the stage to Cheng Qing to play.

During the days when I was in the Shenzheng Department, because Xiao Yunting was holding it everywhere, Cheng Qing even felt refreshed when he worked with this person.

Although Cheng Qing quickly corrected this illusion and repeatedly reminded himself not to leave his defense against Xiao Yunting, he was still chilling when he thought about it. Xiao Yunting not only had a high IQ, but also had a higher EQ. If he deliberately wanted to please someone, it would be difficult for the parties to have the determination to refuse.

Cheng Qing can always be vigilant because she is not really only seventeen years old.

What about the fifth prince?

The fifth prince was not valued in the past, but now his biological mother is gone again. It would be easy for Xiao Yunting to take advantage of the situation to play with the fifth prince.

Senior Brother Meng mentioned the fifth prince and Xiao Yunting together, and must have discovered that there was a connection between the two.

Cheng Qing was very confused, "Xiao Yunting was going to get involved everywhere. What was he trying to do?"

Want to support the new emperor?

Want to manipulate the government?

——Anyway, I haven’t had a few years to live, so isn’t it better to enjoy life comfortably?

Meng Huaijin predicted that the fifth prince would take shape, but Cheng Qing was not very resistant. She had no grudges or grudges with the fifth prince, and the fifth prince did not show any special quality.

Judging from Cheng Qing’s personal opinion, it is acceptable for the fifth prince to take office.

Except for the second prince, eldest prince, third prince and fourth prince who have never been in contact with, Cheng Qing doesn't like it. The fourth prince is in trouble. There is a fifth prince and the eldest prince, and it's good to compete with the third prince.

When Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin were talking about Xiao Yunting, Xiao Yunting was also talking about Cheng Qing.

"Xiao Ji, why do you say that a young man with a bright future have to swallow poison by himself?"

Xiao Ji didn't know who the young man was in Xiao Yunting's mouth, but when the prince asked, she answered cautiously: "Maid guesses that the young man you mentioned may not know that he was swallowing poison. Who wants to die if he can live well? That young man may have been deceived."

Being deceived?

Cheng Qing is as smart as a monkey. He has avoided the pit dug by others intentionally or unintentionally. Xiao Yunting sometimes suspects that Cheng Qing is more than seventeen years old. He has not tricked Cheng Qing onto the ship yet. Who has the ability to trick Cheng Qing into taking poison himself?

Xiao Yunting didn't really want to admit that someone was more capable than him.

Excluding the possibility that Xiao Ji said, there is only one guess left: Cheng Qing knew it was poison, and for some reason, he was voluntarily taking poison.

Realizing this, Xiao Yunting felt itchy.

He still doesn't know Cheng Qing enough, which may be the reason why he can't control Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing has a secret.

Xiao Yunting was very interested in Cheng Qing's secret. According to the original plan, he should have seized the opportunity to push the fifth prince to the throne. After knowing that Cheng Qing was taking poison on his own, Xiao Yunting felt that the fifth prince could be temporarily put on.

...

The court and the harem were waiting for the result of the "Yansheng Case". However, the fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhao Jie, suddenly died - wrong, now we can't call Concubine Zhao Jie, but Concubine Kang.

Concubine Kang was unknown during her lifetime, and no one took this low-ranking concubine from the palace maid seriously, even though Concubine Kang gave birth to the fifth prince.

As a result, when the person died, I don’t know what the emperor thought, but instead gave him such a great honor.

Many people are fence-bearing grass, and they will fall to wherever the wind blows. The emperor's preferences can affect most people.

The empresses in the palace gathered together and shed tears when they mentioned Concubine Kang, as if Concubine Kang had a deep relationship with them when she was alive.

The fifth prince felt the care of the empresses in the palace and felt sarcastic. As well as the eldest prince, the second prince and others, they seemed to suddenly discover the pitifulness of his younger brother and began to show kindness to him.

The fifth prince accepted all the concerns of the emperor's brothers. As for the fifth prince's true feelings, only he himself knew.

The fifth prince was busy attending the funeral of Concubine Kang, and Concubine Ning was really anxious.

"The emperor clearly knows that I don't like that slut, and I have been suppressing the position of sluts over the years. Now that people are dead, the emperor thinks of that slut? Concubine Kang, what a concubine Kang!"

"Empress calms down—"

The palace servants who served Ning Fei knelt down and persuaded him that Ning Fei had suffered any grievances over the years. Now she was suddenly slapped in the face by the emperor and could not calm down at all.

It is said that the emperor has no love, but the emperor has been benevolent for her for so many years, isn’t it all about acting?

The concubines in the harem have a sad commonality. While warning themselves that the emperor has no love, they will fantasize that they are a special existence. The emperor does not love other concubines and must be a little sincere to him.

Concubine Ning is now trapped in this kind of devilishness. The emperor has been favored by her for many years, which makes Concubine Ning feel that she is special in the emperor's heart and has a great position.

So even if she was confined, Concubine Ning was not so worried.

But the emperor not only forbidden her feet, but also conferred the dead Concubine Zhao as Concubine Kang. She was not too high or too low, just suppressing her, making her look disgrace. Even if she was relieved of her feet, she didn't know how to face the ridicule of the concubines in the harem, Concubine Ning began to be nervous.

In addition to worrying about her situation, she also worried about the Fourth Prince.

Concubine Ning was impatient and was not as stable as before. When she was in a state of confinement, she risked sending messages outside the palace to confirm the safety of the Fourth Prince.

As soon as Concubine Ning handed out the news, someone reported it to the Qianqing Palace.

Eunuch Liu bowed his waist and held his chest in his arms, wishing he could shrink his head under the emperor's imperial case.

——Oh, Concubine Ning, why are you so restless?

The emperor did not believe the results of the investigation by the editor-in-chief Cheng and the four people. Or the emperor was worried about his love for many years and was unwilling to believe it. He also wanted to give Concubine Ning and the Fourth Prince a chance.

It just so happened that Concubine Zhao died. The emperor gave Zhao Jie's love and reunion after his death. He also wanted to use this funeral to transfer the attention of the "Yansheng Case" to the court and the harem... Eunuch Liu has been an old man who has served the emperor for many years, and his thinking about the emperor's thoughts is more accurate than ordinary concubines.

Concubine Ning was too unsatisfied. The emperor didn't catch the opportunity and wanted to hit the crater with his head!

"I want to hear what message Ning Fei asked someone to bring to the Fourth Emperor."
