King Chen tightened his grip on the book in his hand.
At this critical moment, why did Qi Jin go to the Protector's Mansion?
There was no friendship between the Zhongyihou Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion in the past. Visiting the elders on behalf of the father did not exist at all. Instead, the two families had a vague hostility. The reason why they said there was a vague hostility was because they were not openly hostile.
In fact, the Zhongyihou Mansion may not have taken the Protector's Mansion to heart, but the Protector's Mansion has always regarded the Zhongyi Mansion as an opponent.
It was also because of Marquis Zhongyi that the Lord Protector could not continue to command the army.
The water from the two wells has not interfered with the river water for many years.
Qi Jin suddenly visited the Protector's Mansion. What did he want?
It's no wonder that King Chen was uneasy. Although his father was still in his prime and the fight for the heir apparent had not yet reached its most critical moment, military power was always the decisive factor in the fight for the heir apparent.
Even if he didn't believe that there would be any involvement between the Zhongyihou Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion, he still had to be cautious and cautious, after all, everything was possible.
What if they get married?
Qi Jin is not married yet, and Zhao Yunrou is not married yet.
King Chen could not think of any other purpose for Qi Jin to come to protect the Duke's mansion.
If Qi Jin is won over by King Yu, then becoming brother-in-law with King Yu is obviously the best way.
At this moment, King Chen suddenly realized a problem.
He couldn't turn against Rong Cang.
The military power in Rong Cang's hands is his biggest backing. If Rong Cang is pushed into a hurry, even if he is controlled by poison, Rong Cang may not be willing to use it for himself. Once the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the Protector's Mansion have a relationship, If they are involved, then they will undoubtedly side with King Yu, giving King Yu more chips to win.
Thinking of this, King Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted offending Chu Yunfei in those days. He thought he could instigate Prince Zhan's Palace and Duke Protector's Palace to fight to the death, but he didn't expect that there was Qi Jin, the heir apparent who did not follow the rules.
The position of the Zhongyi Houfu seems not that important, but it cannot be ignored.
It's really unsettling.
King Chen took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "Continue to stare at Qi Jin, and at the same time keep an eye on the movements of the Duke Protector's Mansion to see if they have made any special moves in recent days, and then check Qi Jin's purpose of going to the Duke Protector's Mansion. .”
"yes."
Qi Jin's actions early in the morning not only attracted the attention of King Chen, but other mansions also paid attention to his movements, which inevitably led to speculation.
After all, everyone knows the style of this little bully, and everyone knows that his every move cannot be ignored.
The most important thing is that he has never thought of going back to the capital this time, which makes people speculate whether he followed his father's wishes and wanted to choose one person to support him in the process of the princes competing for the throne, so as to earn the merit of being a dragon?
On the other hand, Qi Jin, the person involved, did not care at all about how much speculation his seemingly ordinary behavior would cause, and he did not want to pay attention to it.
At this time, he was sitting on the corridor of the eldest princess's residence - his mother's residence in the capital.
There is a deck chair in the pavilion.
Qi Jin sat on the chair, tasting the high-quality Pu'er that the maid had just brewed, and squinted his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
You idiots, keep guessing.
…
In the palace of the Prince of War.
Ji Ziyi, who had disappeared for three days, came to visit again. Dressed in elegant and elegant purple clothes, she walked leisurely and calmly through the front yard of the palace, and was led by the butler to the front hall.
He was still holding a bag of medicinal materials in his hand. He looked up and saw Chu Yunfei waiting outside the hall. Ji Ziyi frowned slightly: "My cousin is pregnant, shouldn't she get more rest? The King of War should be responsible for entertaining guests. Come forward.”
Chu Yunfei smiled: "We cousins haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Don't you want to cultivate a relationship?"
"We haven't seen each other in more than ten years?" Ji Ziyi smiled casually, "My cousin's words are really interesting. We have never met at all - except three days ago, when I took the initiative to step into the palace."
Chu Yunfei nodded: "My cousin is right."
They had never met each other in this life, but in the previous life, she and her cousin had been together almost day and night for seven years. Ji Ziyi had long been both a teacher and a brother in her heart.
Ji Ziyi shook the medicine bag in her hand and turned to look at the environment of the palace: "I found a few medicinal materials and asked my cousin to prepare a stove for me and a ventilated place suitable for decoction."
Chu Yunfei was slightly surprised: "Cousin, you want to cook the medicine yourself?"
"Otherwise?" Ji Ziyi's face was gentle and elegant, but her tone of voice was not as gentle as it seemed on the surface. "If it weren't for the sake of my cousin, the royal prince invited me to boil medicine for him, I wouldn't be able to come. But since I’m here, I can only cook the medicine I prepare myself, and others don’t have this qualification.”
Chu Yunfei twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."
What else could she say?
A doctor has the heart of a parent, and Ji Ziyi is now her and Rong Cang's reborn parent.
This thought flashed through her mind, and Chu Yunfei had a strange expression, wondering how Rong Cang would react if he knew this.
Chu Yunfei quickly ordered people to take Ji Ziyi to Shuanghuayuan and set up a stove for him in the small kitchen.
There are many people in the outer courtyard, so it is inevitable that people will pay attention. Moreover, during the critical period before Rong Cang can solve the poison, she did not dare to risk any accidents.
However, no matter how careful she is, Ji Ziyi is still a living person, not a shady dead soldier or a secret guard. The two times she came to Zhan Wangfu were through the main entrance, and both were in the daytime, so it was inevitable that she would be beaten by Beppu. The spy who was secretly watching discovered it.
The first time I came, I didn't know why I was ignored. The second time I came today, within half an hour, I was reported to King Chen.
Hearing two key pieces of news within half a day made King Chen tense up: "A strange face went to Prince Zhan's Mansion?"
The eyeliner replied respectfully: "Yes. A man in purple clothes. He seems to have a good status, but my subordinates have never seen this man in the capital."
King Chen narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but suspect that Rong Cang was also secretly forming a clique for personal gain?
"What are the characteristics of that person?"
The eyeliner thought for a while: "Looks more aristocratic, in his twenties, with outstanding appearance... By the way, he is also holding a medicine bag in his hand."
"Carrying a medicine bag?" King Chen's eyebrows twitched, "Is someone sick in Prince Zhan's residence?"
Hasn't Rong Cang's injury improved?
The decoction prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu had been stopped for a while, and only the ointment was still being applied. However, counting the days, the ointment should be almost used up.
"My subordinates feel that the young master does not look like a doctor." The eyeliner lowered his head and said, "His demeanor is not like that. Is it possible that he deliberately used medicinal materials to deceive others?"
King Chen thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, but he was still a little worried.
He has always been cautious when dealing with Rong Cang. He poisoned him when he was a teenager and has not revealed anything about it until now, just to use it as a winning bargaining chip at the most critical moment.
so……
Even if Rong Cang is really secretly forming a clique for personal gain, there is nothing to fear, King Chen thought.
Rong Cang could never get on that chair.
If he really dared to think that way, he would eventually be poisoned to eat away at his internal organs, and he would die of pain due to his irritability and madness.
Thinking of this, King Chen calmed down a little: "Go and check immediately. Within two days, I want to know all the details about that person."
"Yes." Hidden Line took the order and left.
