King Jin heard that the concierge boy came to report that Qi Yuning and Lu Ze wanted to see them, and said: "Let them come in."
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze entered Prince Jin's Mansion and bowed together.
"See King Jin."
"Uncle Seven."
King Jin saw the two people in front of him and said, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Why are you here?"
Qi Yuning looked at King Jin and said, "There is a hibiscus in Persia. Anyone who hears it can make people addicted. It is a highly poisonous thing. I heard that King Jin purchased a hibiscus in large quantities, which led to the popularity of hibiscus in the court. King Jin knew that. What kind of crime should this be?”
King Jin raised his eyes and said, "What evidence does the princess have to prove that I purchased the drug? I don't know what kind of drug it is."
Lu Ze said softly: "Seventh Uncle, if the drug really brings trouble to the court, the drug will definitely be banned in the future. How can cousin Rong survive without the drug?"
King Jin's face darkened, he slapped the table angrily and said, "Lu Ze!"
Lu Ze's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Seventh uncle, calm down. We are here just to find out whether the sweet grass fragrance that is prevalent in the capital is actually aphrodisiac?"
Qi Yuning said from the side: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, a gentleman loves money in a wise way. Your palace's business is big enough. You have to get the silver from selling aphrodisiac. Do you want to give up your throne?"
Once this drug turns into a big mistake, not only will the little princess be without drug in the future, but even you, Prince Jin, will not be able to do this! "
King Jin looked at the two people in front of him with a very ugly expression, frowned and asked, "How do you know about Afurong?"
Qi Yuning smiled calmly and said, "Our Qi family also has trade relations with various countries in the Western Region."
King Jin looked at the two people in front of him, turned the jade plate on his thumb and pointed: "I sold afurong to the Qin family and His Royal Highness, but there was nothing I could do about it.
I don’t know where the Qin family learned about the prevalence of afurongia in Persia, so they approached my aphrodisiac purchaser to buy it. How could I not give it to the Qin family and His Highness the Crown Prince? "
Qi Yuning said: "Why can't you refuse to give it?"
King Jin looked towards the palace and said: "Father has always been partial, after all, the throne in the future will belong to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Instead of offending the prince and cutting off the supply of afurong in the future when the prince comes to power, I might as well sell the afurong to him. Even if the Qin family finds out that I am the master behind the afurong, the prince will understand my loyalty. "
Lu Ze shook his head and said: "Uncle Seventh, you are wrong. If His Highness succeeds to the throne, the first person he will not spare is the person who participated in the Afurong incident. I hope Uncle Seventh will follow me into the palace and go to His Majesty. Expose His Highness the Crown Prince."
The King of Jin said: "Lu Ze, Lu Ze, everyone in Shengjing praises you for your intelligence. Do you still think there is any use in exposing His Highness? The crown prince is only one step away, and he is just waiting for His Majesty to pass away!"
The King of Jin looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Why do you think you can defeat the Crown Prince and the Qin family? Relying on the soldiers and horses of your Qi family?"
Qi Yuning said: "Why not?"
The King of Jin said: "The prince has justly ascended the throne. The soldiers and horses of the Qi family are still in Beicheng. They cannot leave Beicheng without an edict. How can we go from Beicheng to Shengjing? How can we rebel against the prince and the Qin family? You Qi family can only rebel, but At the same time, the Qi family will become rebellious officials and traitors, and everyone will find them and punish them!"
The King of Jin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lu Ze and said: "Calm down, Ze'er. The prince has always been kind and kind, and he is still your biological uncle. After all, your majesty is getting old. No matter how old he is, he has reached the age where he should leave. Instead of It is better for my father to suffer from illness before he leaves than to smoke aphrodisiac and feel better."
Lu Ze did not take the tea from Prince Jin, "Drinking poison to quench your thirst will only make it more painful."
King Jin said: "Ze'er, my seventh uncle will teach you something today. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. What are you going to fight with the prince? What are you going to use to fight with the Qin family? To tell you the truth, my father's body and bones are no longer able to give up aphrodisiac." If you take it, you can live for another year, but if you quit, you may die in less than half a month!"
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze, who frowned and said, "How could it be so? Is smoking aphrodisiac so harmful?"
The King of Jin said: "Your Majesty was already seriously ill. My eldest brother collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and died, which aggravated my father's illness. My father is already an old man in his sixties. It is rare in ancient times for people to live seventy years. The king can live There are only a handful of people who reach the age of sixty..."
"Even if my father's body does not have the drug, it will only last another one or two years at most. So why don't I use the drug to please His Highness the Crown Prince? I can also make some money at the same time."
"Even if you go to the father today to expose His Royal Highness for using aphrodisiac on him, what will happen? His Majesty can no longer protect you!
Gyeonggi Province has 100,000 soldiers and 3,000 cavalry. How can you compete? Even though the eldest brother was still here, he had already given up fighting with the prince, let alone you two juniors!
Ze'er, Uncle Seven advises you to pretend that you don't know about this matter. After all, if your uncle, the prince, ascends the throne, your future will be limitless, so why go and expose it? "
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "The prince is unfilial, benevolent, and unjust. He will definitely not be a prosperous monarch in the future!"
King Jin said: "If you want to rebel, go and rebel, but don't implicate me. I just hope that A Rong can grow up safely. You also have daughters. Think about it for the sake of your daughter's good life. I have really offended His Royal Highness. What’s in it for you?”
Qi Yuning looked at the King of Jin and said, "I only know the family motto of the Qi family. The first one is loyalty to the emperor. The Qi family is full of loyal ministers."
King Jin slowly said: "The prince is the prince chosen by your majesty. When he ascends the throne, it is because of the loyalty of your Qi family."
Seeing that Prince Jin was unwilling to cooperate, Lu Ze did not stay in Prince Jin's palace for long.
After the two of them left Jin Prince's Mansion, Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "What King Jin said is right. Now the capital is dominated by the power of the prince and the Qin family. Our Qi family's army cannot do anything without orders." Leaving Beicheng without permission..."
Lu Zedao: "Once your Majesty and the other princes know that the Crown Prince sucked opium for His Majesty, it may not allow the Crown Prince and the Qin family to succeed. If the Qin Family and the Crown Prince dare to force the palace, then the troops of the Qi family will be able to go to Beijing to kill the rebels." man of."
Qi Yuning said: "There is also the matter of aphrodisiac. How can we expose it in front of His Majesty? I wonder if His Majesty will believe us?"
Lu Ze thought that his grandfather was determined to live a long life, and he would be a little unbearable if he tried to expose it.
Qi Yuning sighed deeply.
Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning's frown and stretched out his hand to smooth Qi Yuning's eyebrows. "Don't be too nervous. Everything will be peaceful. Didn't Lingling say that we will all be alive in the future?"
Qi Yuning sighed: "Lingling only said he was alive, not that he was missing arms or legs."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "It's good to be alive."
Seeing Lu Ze so comfortable, Qi Yuning's uneasiness gradually dissipated: "Let's go, let's go to Tai Chi Palace together."
Inside the Tai Chi Palace.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze felt a sweet smell as soon as they entered.
There was something wrong with the way the maids smelling the fragrance. Emperor Yuan, who was holding the incense burner and smoking cigarettes, had a look of obsession on his face.
"Grandpa."
Lu Ze stepped forward with a worried look on his face.
Emperor Shiyuan saw Lu Ze and said, "Here you come, Ze'er. Come and inhale the sweet grass fragrance. After inhaling the sweet grass fragrance, you can reach the Paradise of Paradise."
Lu Zedao: "Grandpa, the princess and I have something to talk to you alone." (End of Chapter)
