"What did you say?" Inside Hanzhang hall, Zhao Pingqing stares at Zhao Hou in disbelief, with broken tea cups at his feet.

In the afternoon, a heavy rain washed away the sultry summer heat. The hall was cool and pleasant, but Zhao Hou was full of cold sweat. "It was originally stopped, but who knew that Prince Dongling would not protect her, so So Let her run away. " He said, "please forgive me."

Zhao Pingqing patted the armrest heavily, and his face was full of anger. "I forgive you, but mu Qianxue, will she forgive us? They keep saying that they will help me. As a result, they can't even handle such small things. If something happens to me, the whole Zhao family will be destroyed. "

Zhao Hou was so flustered that his forehead would drip cold sweat. He threw his head to the ground in a hurry. "It's my minister who doesn't work well. Please punish me!" They are true fathers and daughters, but there is a difference between them.

Ziyan whispered: "master, it's time to calm down. It's useless for you to get angry again. The most urgent thing is to think of a remedy. It's better to get rid of the princess before the news of her coming to the city spreads..." She made a hand up and down.

Zhao Pingqing didn't know this reason, but as soon as he thought of Mu Qianxue's return to Jinling City, he was cold with fear, and could only suppress it with the strength of his anger.

She deeply inhaled, staring at Zhao Hou kneeling on the ground, said: "so, only one mu Qianxue escaped?"

Zhao Hou looked up slightly and said, "it was like this, but But then the people of Shenji camp Appear, will Save the thirteen and nineteen I've got it

His words made Zhao Pingqing look even more ugly, and her fingers holding the armrest of the chair turned white. If Zhao Hou was not the one who knelt down at this moment, she would have killed herself. For a long time, she said: "that is to say, this interception has achieved nothing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hou's eyes flashed. He came to Zhao Pingqing's ear and whispered a word. Yuanshan Daimei, who was elaborately decorated, slightly picked her face. Her face was a little slow. "Finally, there was something to gain."

After beckoning Zhao hou to sit down, Zhao Pingqing sighed, "father, don't blame me for being too strict. You know that I'm proud now. In fact, every step is like walking on ice. If you are careless, you will fall to pieces."

Zhao Hou, who had just touched the chair, quickly stood up again and arched his hand and said, "I understand my mother's difficulties. This time, it's my carelessness. If I break my mother's plan, I deserve to die."

"Well, maybe it's God's will. God wants her to come back and fight against the palace." Zhao Pingqing sighed. She was unwilling but helpless.

Ziyan comforted: "master, don't be too discouraged. As long as the imperial concubine doesn't enter the palace for a moment, we still have a chance."

Zhao Pingqing shook his head and said: "you think mu Qianxue is too simple. It's opportunistic to stop her this time. Where will there be another time? Besides, it's too risky to start in Jinling City. We can't make a mistake now."

Ziyan frowned and said, "so it's a fact that she went back to the palace?"

"I'm afraid so." Zhao Pingqing stroked the double butterfly gold hairpin beside his temples and said in a cool voice, "look, there will be some trouble in the future, but we may not lose." Then she turned her eyes to Zhao Hou, "they didn't find the identity of those killers, did they?"

Zhao Houlian said hurriedly: "I'll let them disguise as Dongling shadow players according to the order of my mother. Even if the imperial concubine has doubts, I can't guess it will be us."

"That's good." Zhao Pingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hou glanced at her and hesitated: "there's one thing I want to remind my mother."

Zhao Pingqing's eyebrows frowned. "What else?"

"The killer said When the concubine fled, she was still holding a child in her arms. The minister estimated that it should be the concubine's child. "

Hearing these words, Zhao Pingqing's face, which was just getting better, immediately became gloomy, even worse than just now. "Father said that when she left last year, she was pregnant with your Majesty's flesh and blood in her belly?"

"That should be it." Zhao Hou said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if you can't remember the past, it's all right. If you remember, with his feelings for your concubine, you will make this child the crown prince. At that time..."

Zhao Pingqing knew what he was going to say. His sharp armor left a long mark on the armrest. He gritted his teeth and said, "the crown prince can only belong to heng'er. No one can take it away!"

In silence, little Congzi came in and said in a respectful voice, "master, Rong Cairen is here."

"Let her in." Taking advantage of the gap when Xiao Congzi went out to deliver a message, Zhao Pingqing told him, "I'll try to deal with things in the palace. As for things outside the palace, I'd like to ask my father to pay more attention and be loyal. As for that man, I'd like to guard him well

"Please don't worry." After Zhao Pingqing saluted, Zhao Hou turned and left. After passing Rong Cairen, he bowed slightly.

"Good luck, madam." As Xiao Congzi said, Rong Cai Ren's appearance is not outstanding, at least in this palace, there is no dazzling beauty, but her voice is very pleasant, like a spring flowing slowly, which makes people feel refreshed in this summer.Zhao Pingqing put his mind away and said with a smile, "no gift, sit down."

"Thank you, madam." Rong Cairen went to the chair and sat down with her body. Although she was not born in a noble family, her words and deeds were more dignified than the daughter of a noble family.

Zhao Pingqing noticed that on her bun she wore the gold hairpin with carved fringes, which she had let Xiao Congzi enjoy yesterday, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips. "The ground after the rain is slippery and difficult to walk. How can a talented person choose to come here at this time?"

Rong Cairen leaned back in his chair and said respectfully, "I'm here to thank you for your reward. I should have come here in the morning, but I'm late because I want to collect nectar. I hope you can help me."

"It's just a gold hairpin. It doesn't matter." With that, Zhao Pingqing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "the talented man just said nectar. How can we collect it?"

Ziyan in a side way: "think it's honey, but maidservant don't remember there is a honeycomb in the palace."

Rong Cairen said with a smile: "aunt Ziyan misunderstood that nectar is the nectar secreted by flowers. Bees take nectar to brew it, and then turn it into honey as usual. Although the two are similar, they are still different." Then she took out a porcelain vase slightly larger than her thumb. "When I was at home, I was given a way to collect nectar by the gardener. Thanks for the hairpin from my mother, I couldn't give it back. I thought about it again and again. I thought of the gardener's saying that nectar has the effect of beauty, so I got up in the morning and picked some nectar from the royal garden. I hope my mother won't give it up."
