Chapter 412 The last resort

During the New Year, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense. Rong Jingqiu finally finished her confinement period. However, given the current situation is not good, the couple did not hold a full moon banquet for their children, but closed the door and invited some friends and relatives who were close to celebrate.

During the meal, Princess Qinglan pulled Rong Jingqiu's gossip to the secrets in the palace.

Rong Jingqiu covered her mouth with a look of surprise, "Really? False?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Princess Qinglan made a serious name for herself.

"No," Rong Jingqiu hurriedly pulled her good sister, "The prince really had an affair with His Majesty's concubines? How could this be possible?"

This news was so horrible. She remembered that such a thing didn't seem to have happened in her previous life, but she was not sure. After all, she had never paid attention to the rumor circulating in the palace, and it was still uncertain if she missed it. However, the prince was a gentle and elegant person, how could he do such a counter-ethical thing?

Princess Qinglan spread her hands and said, "I also hope it was passed on by falsehood, but the ones who say it have a nose and eyes are not fake, oh, who knows the true and false? Anyway, it's spreading like this everywhere now."

Rong Jingqiu suddenly caught that key point, and rumors were flying everywhere, and the prince's reputation seemed to have been damaged. It is estimated that the censor would submit an impeachment as soon as the court opened. This is not far from the deposed prince, and this timeline is much earlier than in the previous life.

Princess Qinglan knew that she had figured it out as soon as she saw Rong Jingqiu's appearance, so she said, "Anyway, you know that if the prince is no longer the prince, the chaos has just begun."

Zhao Yu is the prince, and will also be one of the driving forces of this chaos. There will be a struggle next. If he can successfully fight for the throne, his fate will change.

When she married Jin San, she naturally knew who the Jin family supported. On this point, she had no conflict with Jin San. If her mother's family's Prince Cheng Mansion did not express her opinion, it means she would not participate. She and Rong Jingqiu had a handkerchief, so naturally she hoped that Zhao Yu would win in the end.

Otherwise, she would go to someone’s house to tell me what gossip is going on? Is she so tired that she has nothing to do? Her Jin Duoduo is still waiting for her to play with.

Rong Jingqiu was just a little sighing, "Everything is developing too fast."

Princess Qinglan said ruthlessly, "Hurry? No, Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. This is also the reason why everyone is eager to take action. There is only one throne, and if you don't fight, your descendants will kneel down."

She is the emperor's favorite cousin. She has had close contact with the emperor. After careful observation and comparison, she can't find out what else can't be discovered? She will only tell Rong Jingqiu privately that if someone else is silent, she will not be troubled.

Rong Jingqiu was also very familiar with the emperor's physical condition. After all, with Xia Wei here, all information was first-hand. However, when she heard Princess Qinglan say this, she was still a little moved. This good sister had never changed as ever.

The two hid aside and whispered. Rong Jin and Jin Zhou saw him in the distance. Jin Zhou hit Rong Jin's elbow, "My daughter-in-law can only get along with Qiu Yatou."

When Jin Zhou heard this, he seemed to have something in his words. Princess Qinglan had a good relationship with her daughter, so she naturally favored Princess Qinglan, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, their cousin and sister-in-law can chat. This is much better than being with outsiders."

Jin Zhou looked at the expression of her sister-in-law, then smiled and said nothing more. No matter what her daughter is, she still has to protect her mother. If she can, she will not do such thankless things. She used to be stupid, but now the mother and daughter have reconciled, but she is not a human inside and outside.

After Princess Qinglan sent the news, when she saw the guests away, Rong Jingqiu brought sober soup to Zhao Yu, she mentioned a few words, and finally said, "Fortunately, the sixth sister left the East Palace first, so that she would not get involved in this."

Zhao Yu's sobering soup was just a meal, "It's not true or false, and it's not true."

The reason why the prince was disliked by the emperor was that he was the prince and was a prince who had been in the past twenty years. He was only one step away from the imperial power. The adult prince was always the emperor's heart disease and had little to do with romantic affairs. Of course, this romantic affairs were the fuse.

"That's the case, but it was rumored outside, and the white ones turned black." Rong Jingqiu commented.

Zhao Yu did not talk to him anymore, but teased his son beside him. The little guy Zhao Youyou was very cold and ignored Zhao Yu's teasing. However, when he saw Rong Jingqiu's figure, he umbrella and said twice to attract his mother's attention.

His trick worked very well. Rong Jingqiu immediately threw down the affairs in his hand and hugged him first.

Zhao Yu saw all his son's tricks and snorted coldly, was this kid angry with him?

Rong Jingqiu immediately pushed him, not allowing him to look completely partial and obedient.

Zhao Yu immediately turned a blind eye, but his wife and children didn't take this trick. If he got angry, he could only feel lonely. Fortunately, he successfully diverted Rong Jingqiu's attention.

The queen was in dire straits and was now forced into a corner. The final solution she came up with was to try hard and advance the original plan.

During the Lantern Festival, the palace holds a palace banquet every year and a lantern festival will be held. The emperor and the powerful people who are qualified to attend the lantern festival will wear casual clothes and walk through it, looking like they are having fun with the people.

This year is no exception. As the ninth princess, Rong Jingqiu used to be a pretext for not attending such events, but now she cannot refuse it.

However, the child was still young, so she did not bring it into the palace, but sent it back to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion to Rong Jin for care. This was the safest way to think about it. Although Lin An was taken care of by staying in the mansion, she was afraid of mistakes. After all, Lin An’s identity was not enough and she could not calm down at the critical moment.

I have walked a lot of roads into the palace this year, but when I arrived at a certain place, I still have to walk. She followed Zhao Yu and looked at the palace with lights and decorations. It was a bit interesting. Just as I was so immersed in my sight, a familiar figure flashed by. She was stunned and finally grabbed Zhao Yu, "Look at that side?"

Zhao Yu looked and found nothing, "What's wrong?"

Rong Jingqiu blinked again and finally confirmed that there was no one in that direction. "Strange, why is it missing? I just happened to see an acquaintance..."

"Who?" Zhao Yu asked indifferently.

Rong Jingqiu wasn't sure if she was dazzled, "No one..."

Zhao Yu no longer asked questions. Anyway, he had been in the palace several times, so it was normal to see one or two familiar figures.

The emperor did not let everyone shout long live, but instead led Xia Wei to watch the lanterns in plain clothes. He also guessed several riddles and gave Xia Wei several unique lanterns, which made Xia Wei smile.

Rong Jingqiu looked in Xia Wei for a few seconds and then withdrew her gaze. Even if it was an old man and a young wife, how many women were unhappy if they were willing to coax people? Xia Wei's expression was obviously much cheerful than before. It can be said that she had adapted to the life of the emperor, the old man and the imperial concubine.

"Which do you like? I'll also guess riddles to give you." Zhao Yu didn't like her to look at others, so he said in her ear.

Rong Jingqiu smiled and pointed to a rabbit-shaped lantern, "Just that one."

When Zhao Yu saw it, he went to guess riddles without saying a word. Before he got out of date, he slowly walked towards her with a rabbit lantern.

Under the reflection of the lanterns, Rong Jingqiu's face turned red. She was already an old couple, but she still had a bit of a girlish shyness.

Zhao Yu was about to coax her, but when he saw a large number of soldiers wearing armor suddenly pouring into the entrances of the lanterns, and the platform was covered with archers. The change was very sudden, which made the people present confused.

Zhao Yu stepped forward and pulled Rong Jingqiu to her side, stuffed the rabbit lantern in her hand into her, "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Rong Jingqiu held the rabbit lantern in her hand tightly, and said calmly. She couldn't help Zhao Yu, but it was okay to try not to hold back. At this moment, she was glad that she didn't bring her son to the palace, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be so calm.

Zhao Yu stroked the broken hair from her temples behind her ears with great appreciation, "Follow me and don't run away."

Rong Jingqiu nodded with a smile. With him by her side, she was willing to go to the underworld, but she just couldn't bear to leave her Zhao Youyou.

The emperor's face had long been sunk. His eyes were staring at General Xiao who was stepping in. He had known that this man was restless, but he didn't expect that he would have the courage to launch a palace transformation.

But when he saw the queen, he was not surprised, "Queen, what are you doing?"

"I am here to spend the festival with Your Majesty." The dressed queen replied with a smile, but this time she did not salute the emperor, but looked at him equally.

Xia Wei, who was protected by the emperor, had a tense face at this time, and she had an unknown premonition.

Sure enough, the queen's confidant immediately stepped forward and wanted to catch her under her eyes.

"Who dares you?" The emperor shouted loudly and immediately calmed down the gangsters.

When the queen saw that the confidants didn't dare to catch the bitch Xia Wei, she immediately cursed, "Bad." Then, regardless of the superiority and inferiority, she personally took action to pull Xia Wei out. Seeing that the emperor wanted to stop her, she snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if you dare to act rashly, I will send someone to shoot an arrow."

The emperor looked at the archers laid down on the high ground, and finally no longer chose to protect Xia Wei.

"Your Majesty..." Xia Wei called pitifully.

The emperor just turned his face away and refused to look at this pretty doting woman.

The queen laughed, slapped Xia Wei several times, and then pulled Xia Wei's hair bun, "I want to see who can protect you now? Bitch, when you provoked me that day, you didn't expect that today would be there?"

Xia Wei, with messy hair, glared back at the queen, "Only at this time can you show off your might. What's so great about it? Only women who are not loved by men will look like you, like you..."

These words deeply touched the queen's hidden thoughts. At this moment, she was like a trampled cat. She completely ignored the queen's style and style of the past, and immediately praised Xia Wei's mouth several times and used her long armor to scratch Xia Wei's face. "There is a sharp-tongued face. Without this charming face, I see how arrogant you are?"

Xia Wei screamed in pain. She knew that her face must be covered in blood and was extremely terrifying. However, this did not prevent her from glaring at the queen. She just looked down on her and killed her if she had the ability. As long as she didn't die, she would take revenge.

"I want to dig out your eyes..." The queen was extremely angry.

"Empress." The emperor and General Xiao shouted loudly.

Rong Jingqiu was almost about to jump out of her heart. The queen's behavior was no different from a shrew in the market. It was really unexpected that she would use such rough means to retaliate against the enemy.

Zhao Yu patted her hand comfortably, "Don't worry, General Xiao will not let the queen be so crazy."

After all, what they are forcing the palace is to throne, not to avenge personal revenge. The queen's behavior has deviated from its original goal. General Xiao did not want to cause trouble, so he had to stop the queen. After all, what they wanted to support the prince to take the throne. If the queen really poached Xia Wei's eyes in public, it would be really impossible to wash it.

Rong Jingqiu faced the sinister nature of this human nature and couldn't help feeling nauseous, but she couldn't look away. Xia Wei was her friend. She was worried about her safety. When she heard Zhao Yu's comfort, she calmed down and continued to watch.

When other ladies saw the queen's cruel methods, they immediately fainted. Their faces were pale when they were not fainted. The fear of the queen was raised to an unprecedented level, and they even lost their whispers, fearing that their life would be explained here today.

The emperor looked at General Xiao with a strong sense of vigilance, but General Xiao still bowed to the emperor, and then looked at the queen, "Empress, it's important for us to do the main business first." He took the last two words seriously.

The queen then regained her rationality a little. She hated Xia Wei very much, but she didn't want her to die like this. She had to torture her until she died slowly, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve her hatred. So she threw Xia Wei away, "I won't bother with you for now, don't worry, I will always deal with you."

Xia Wei clenched the fist in her hand tightly, and did not provoke the queen again. It was unreasonable for the madman to be.

Seeing this, Rong Jingqiu wanted to go up to help Xia Wei regardless of everything. Xia Wei shook her head slightly and told her not to fail. She was not so miserable that she could not take care of herself.

The emperor looked at Xia Wei comfortably, and then he said coldly to the queen and General Xiao, "You are rebelling, I will not spare you..."

The queen reorganized the armor on her hands and ordered people to bring the drafted imperial edict to the emperor. She smiled maliciously: "Press the jade seal on it, maybe you can still be the Supreme Emperor and follow the previous emperor."

The emperor stood there with a dark look and did not move.

As expected, this is an edict to pass on the throne. Lao Qi forced him to sign it once, but now it is the queen's turn. Of course, with the prince in hand, she is indeed much more legitimate than Lao Qi.

He just glanced at him and turned his eyes away without interest, then looked at General Xiao, pointed at him and asked the queen, "You expect him to protect you? Queen, Queen, I always thought you were not smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. How could such a traitor be loyal? He betrayed me today, and he could betray you and your mother and son to be the emperor himself..."
