Chapter 1518 Zhen Qing: Zi Yu, I want him dead! (Please give me monthly tickets at the end of the month and the beginning of the month!)

Palace Garden, Kunning Palace

It was the spring of the first year of Jianxing, and there was still a hint of chill in the air.

Zhen Qing was wearing a plain palace gown with wide sleeves. Her long black hair was combed into an elegant bun. Her fair face was still gorgeous even without any makeup.

Not far away, sat Zhen Xue, who was wearing a snow-white twill skirt as white as lotus root, holding a little girl in her arms. It was Zhen Qing's daughter Yin Yin.

After becoming the queen, Zhen Qing sometimes felt quite bored in the palace, so she called Zhen Xue into the palace to talk to her and cheer her up.

At this moment, two boys, Zhen Qing's son Chen Jie, and Zhen Xue's son Shui Ying, were chatting together.

A beautiful female official entered the palace, bowed respectfully to Zhen Qing, and whispered, "Madam, the Prince of Wei has entered the palace."

Zhen Qing nodded and said, "Xuan."

On Zhen Xue's fair and tender face with a gentle and lovely temperament, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, as if moistened by the rippling waves, and she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable joy.

After a while, the young man in python robe came out from outside, stared at Zhen Qing who was sitting on the couch, and said: "Your humble servant greets the queen. May the queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Zhen Qing's face was cold and beautiful. Her eyebrows were curved like black ink at this moment. Her narrow and sharp eyes looked at the young man in the python robe and said softly, "Prince Wei, please stand up without formalities."

This bastard was so arrogant in the past, but now he has to bow to her? Humph...

But last time I had to let her serve me, and one day I must let this bastard serve me.

Jia Heng thanked him and then sat down on an embroidered cushion covered with a mattress.

At this moment, Chen Yinyin's eyes sparkled slightly under her delicate eyebrows. She looked at the young man in the python costume and called out, "Godfather~~"

In the little girl's impression, even her own father did not like her very much, only this godfather was relatively close to her.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Yin Yin."

As he spoke, he waved to the little girl, his eyes were warm, like the warm sunshine, and whispered, "Let godfather hug you."

Zhen Qing nodded and said softly, "What is Zi Yu doing in the palace this time?"

Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and a hint of thought flashed across his sharp eyes. He said in a gentle voice, "I just went to see the emperor to discuss the issue of deposing the empress, which has been widely discussed recently."

Zhen Qing frowned, her beautiful eyes sparkling like water, she exclaimed in surprise and asked, "You also know about this."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "There is a lot of buzz about this matter outside. I am not completely oblivious to what is happening outside, so how could I not know about it?"

Zhen Qing glanced at the young man in the python costume, and looked at him with her charming eyes. She sneered and said, "I think you are so obsessed with the fragrance of cosmetics that you can't extricate yourself."

Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat. The two children were still there.

Zhen Qing, please be careful not to lead the child astray by talking nonsense like this.

Zhen Qing's expression paused slightly. Under her willow-shaped eyebrows, her narrow and clear eyes were as bright as water. She said softly, "Come here, carry the little princess and the prince to the side hall."

"Mother, I want to play with my godfather." Yin Yin stretched out her two soft and chubby little hands, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Jia Heng nodded, looked at Yin Yin beside him, and said softly: "Yin Yin and I will play for a while."

As soon as Mopan arrived, he dismissed his attendants and thought about this matter all day long.

Can’t he just have some parent-child interaction with Yin Yin?

Jia Heng looked at the beautiful lady with her bun on her head with a gaze as bright as dew under his sword-like brows, and said softly, "Madam, why are you arguing with Queen Song?"

Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows stood up, and her soft and charming face, as glittering as snow, seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and mist. She said tenderly, "Don't mention her in front of me. There is only one queen in this palace now, and that is me."

Jia Heng stared at the beautiful woman with a jade-like face, and his heart was silent for a moment.

At this time, there was a hint of murderous intent on Mopan's graceful and beautiful face, and the aura between her eyebrows was undoubtedly quite fierce.

Jia Heng paused for a moment and said softly, "However, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the previous dynasty is in a mess. The situation in the harem should be stable."

Zhen Qing's face was as cold as frost. Under her curved eyebrows, she looked at the young man with eyes as condensed as dew and said, "I know it."

It was obvious that the beautiful lady remembered the reprimand from the King of Chu, which brought back some bad memories.

Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes, sparkling under her slender eyebrows, looked closely at the young man in the python robe and said, "You came into the palace just to tell me these things?"

Jia Heng sensed the ill intention in the beauty's tone and asked, "What do you mean, Madam?"

Zhen Qing seemed to snort coldly, but did not respond to Jia Heng's words.

At this moment, Jia Heng stopped teasing his daughter Yinyin. His eyes were as warm as the warmth of the early winter sun. He looked at Zhen Qing and said, "My queen, let the nanny hold Yinyin, Ying'er, and Jie'er and go to the side hall later."

It seems that this millstone has encountered some unpleasant things recently, otherwise, it would definitely not be like this.

Zhen Qing ordered the female official to take the child away immediately.

For a moment, only Jia Heng, Zhen Xue and Zhen Qing were left in the hall.

Under Zhen Qing's curved eyebrows, her sparkling eyes were shining with cold light, and she said in a tone that could not be refused: "Prince Wei, follow me to the warm room."

After a while, the beauty moved her plump and soft grinding wheel, suddenly stood up, walked with her plump and graceful waist, walked around a glass screen embroidered with mica, and went to the warm room beside her.

Jia Heng calmed himself down and followed closely behind.

Zhen Xuehong had a white and tender face that was as gentle and peaceful as water. Under her willow-like eyebrows that were as dark as spring mountains, her beautiful eyes were crystal clear and as bright as water, as if filled with charming affection.

Jia Heng paused for a moment, looked at Zhen Qing with a hint of curiosity, and asked, "Madam, this is..."

Zhen Qing turned around and looked at the young man in the python robe, saying, "After he became emperor, his attitude towards me has changed a lot. A few days ago, because of the Song family incident, he even spoke coldly to me. It's totally unreasonable!"

When Jia Heng heard this, his heart was slightly moved.

Under Zhen Qing's beautiful curved eyebrows, her pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes sparkled with cold light, and she said sternly: "Zi Yu, I want him dead!"

Jia Heng: "..."

Is it that serious? Do you hate the King of Chu so much?

Well, maybe from Zhen Qing's perspective, she also made a great contribution to the King of Chu's ascension to the throne, but the King of Chu is now "a descendant of a Zhongshan wolf, who becomes rampant when he succeeds."

Zhen Qing came closer at this moment, and suddenly pulled the hand of the young man in the python robe, like a rose with thorns, and wrapped her hands around Jia Heng's neck. Then, kisses fell on Jia Heng's lips almost like raindrops.

Jia Heng: "???"

Now it's Tiangang again?

Jia Heng didn't say much at this moment. He gently put his arm around Zhen Qing's shoulders, feeling the unspeakable madness and passion of the beauty, and his heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.

Zhen Xue, with a face as white as snow and as red as clouds, like a beautiful peony, came to a bamboo and wood carved brocade mica screen and was looking at the wind for the two of them.

My sister is getting more and more daring. If someone breaks in, it would be a disaster.

Jia Heng lowered his eyes to look at Zhen Qing, whose hands were as nimble as a butterfly, and quickly held down Zhen Qing's delicate hands, saying, "Stop making trouble, be careful, he might come back at noon."

Zhen Qing's jade-like face was clearly blushing, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be surging with lust. She stared at the face of the young man in the python costume and said, "Are you scared?"

Where did the courage to humiliate her go those days?

Jia Heng paused for a moment, then asked in a clear voice, "Calm down. How are you doing with the task I asked you to do?"

Zhen Qing snorted coldly, and with a gleaming gaze under her willow-shaped eyebrows, she looked at the young man in the python robe and said, "What else can we do? We are already using some medicine, but it will take some time. Besides, unless he is eating from me, the eunuchs usually taste the food first to test for poison."

If the food is sent to the inner study for the King of Chu to eat, then the eunuchs will take silver needles and even test the poison personally, if it is in Kunning Palace where Zhen Qing is.

Because the King of Chu was having dinner with Zhen Qing, Zhen Qing's room for maneuver was greatly increased.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing with a warm gaze under his sword-like brows and said softly, "Then you should be careful in the future."

Zhen Qing nodded and urged, "Stop talking nonsense. He usually doesn't come back until noon."

Jia Heng: "..."

If that's the case, then he's not a gentleman anymore.

After that, he didn't say anything else and let Zhen Qing serve him.

Immediately, he embraced Zhen Qing in his arms and gently lifted the pleated skirt of the beautiful woman's plain wide-sleeved dress, revealing her plump and fair breasts.

Immediately, Jia Heng walked closer without saying much.

I don't know how long they stayed there, snuggling closely together.

Zhen Qing's face, as white as jade, was clearly as red as fire and blushing like clouds, just like the peach blossoms in March, bright and charming.

The beautiful woman's lips were slightly pursed and she was breathing softly. The wisp of black hair that hung down from her temples was now sticking to her face due to the sweat. At the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, one could see the silent overflow of spring love.

Jia Heng straightened his collar and walked to the lacquered wooden table while talking. He picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot, picked up the teacup, poured a cup, took a sip, and immediately felt the pleasant fragrance that lingered on his teeth and cheeks.

It can be considered as a reserved repertoire, and we had tea afterwards.

"You don't even know to pour me a cup." Zhen Qing said unhappily, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anger under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows.

Jia Heng nodded, smiled softly, and said, "Let me help you test whether the tea is cold or not."

Zhen Qing's delicate, straight nose seemed to hum softly, and then she stretched out her slender, white and tender hand and took the teacup handed to her by Jia Heng. Her narrow and clear eyes were as bright as water and she took a sip of the tea.

As Jia Heng spoke, he quickly left the room where the incident happened and looked at Zhen Xue who was standing outside. He met her gentle eyes, like those of a good wife and mother, and said softly, "Xue'er, go in and help your elder sister."

Zhen Xue glanced at Jia Heng with resentment in her beautiful eyes and uttered "hmm" softly.

Then, the two of them hurried to the warm room with an embroidered mica screen to help Zhen Qing clean up the battlefield.

Jia Heng stepped over the threshold and quickly came to the outside of the palace. He took a deep breath and looked at the sun which was already at noon. An inexplicable look of joy appeared on his face.

In fact, after the King of Chu ascended the throne, he also felt that he was suppressed by the King of Chu. He felt that all the resentment accumulated over the days was poured out on Zhen Qing.

At this moment, I really feel relieved and refreshed.

Jia Heng calmed himself down, and looked at the palace with double eaves and hooked corners with a warm gaze. There was a hint of mystery in his bright eyes.

At this moment, in Kunning Palace, after Jia Heng left, Zhen Qing's face, which looked even more charming after the rain, had a strand of black hair hanging down, sticking to her face with sweat. She said angrily, "This bastard, he treats me like an animal every day."

Zhen Xue's beautiful face was almost as red as fire. As she spoke, she pursed her pink lips and said softly, "Okay, sister, hurry up and take a shower and change clothes. The people ahead will be back by noon."

Since you can't keep one person, just give it to her.

Although there were many inconveniences in the palace, Zi Yu had indeed not touched her for a long time.

She must have grown old and lost her looks.

Zhen Qing nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling slightly under her beautiful eyebrows, and she whispered, "He will review the memorials at noon, so he probably won't be back."

Zhen Xue's face, as crystal-clear as a lychee, was covered with an inexplicable blush, and a hint of resentment appeared in her sparkling eyes.

If I had told him earlier, he could have stayed longer.

Zhen Xue suppressed her chaotic thoughts, turned her eyes to Zhen Qing, and said softly, "Sister, this is not a long-term solution."

If you act stealthily like this, you might be seen by someone at any time, and then it would be a disaster.

“Yes.” Zhen Qing raised her beautiful eyebrows. Her fair and tender face, as white as a beautiful flower, was filled with a gloomy color. She sighed and said in a low voice.

I don’t know if it’s because she became the queen, the mother of the country, but she just felt a burning desire and missed that man so much.

Palace Garden, Funing Palace

In the palace, in the warm room.

At this moment, Concubine Duanrong was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves. She was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. Her beautiful hair was combed into an elegant bun, revealing her snow-white skin, jade-like face, quiet and cold.

Queen Song had a face as white as jade, almost as pale as paper, and her charming eyes were filled with a hint of worry.

Under her beautiful eyebrows, Concubine Duanrong looked at the graceful and beautiful lady with concern and said softly, "Sister, don't be too angry. Luo'er is here with you."

Queen Song's white and jade-like face was almost covered with frost, and a cold light could be seen surging in her eyes. She said sternly: "She is going too far!"

When had Song Tian ever suffered such humiliation?

Concubine Duanrong's jade-like face was flushed, and she advised softly: "Sister, don't pay attention to her. Just rest more in Funing Palace recently."

Queen Song gently raised her beautiful head with long black hair, and looked at Concubine Duanrong from under her two fine eyebrows, saying with deep hatred: "Sister, I'm afraid that you and I will have to spend the rest of our lives in the cold palace."

Concubine Duanrong's face turned pale as paper. She sighed and said, "Isn't this our fate after entering the palace?"

Under Queen Song's emerald eyebrows, her sparkling eyes were filled with a fierce gleam. She said in a delicate voice, "I will never accept this!"

Just as Queen Song was secretly furious, a eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside, and the shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei is outside asking to see you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Song's spell seemed to be interrupted, and her plump and beautiful face, as white as jade, seemed to be covered with a beautiful frost mist.

After a while, the young man in the python robe came quickly, walked around a bamboo-patterned mica screen, looked at Queen Song who was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress, bowed, and said, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Queen Song's eyebrows were as long as willow leaves and curved like crescent moons. Her beautiful eyes were charming and flowing, staring at Jia Heng intently until the young man bowed for a long time but showed no sign of getting up.

Concubine Duanrong paused for a moment, then said softly, "Sister, Ziyu is here."

Queen Song just stared coldly at the young man in the python robe with her beautiful eyes under her slender eyebrows.

Then, the beautiful lady with a gentle face looked at the young man in the python costume quietly and said softly, "Zi Yu, please stand up."

Jia Heng paused for a moment, then said firmly, "The Queen has not yet said she would leave, so I dare not."

"Humph!"

Queen Song snorted coldly, and her expression paused slightly under her beautiful eyebrows. Then she said, "Zi Yu, please stand up."

That's good enough. This little fox finally didn't forget that she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for him.

At this moment, the two of them were actually a couple having an awkward moment.

However, Concubine Duanrong could not see any clues for a while.

Concubine Duanrong's expression was as frosty as a frown, her beautiful eyes sparkling and glistening, and she said softly, "Zi Yu, please sit down."

Jia Heng responded softly, then found a brocade cushion and sat down, saying, "Today I went to see the emperor and mentioned the numerous memorials in the capital impeaching the deposed empress."

Imperial Concubine Duanrong frowned, opened her red lips slightly, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Queen Song's face was covered with coldness, and she said sternly, "How dare they depose me? I have done so much for the late emperor, what qualifications do they have to depose me?"

Jia Heng's face turned serious, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Sweet girl, this is an unbalanced mentality.

No wonder the sweet girl was broken. Now she has nothing except... him and his twins.

Just like a gambler who has lost all his money.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "The new emperor intends not to depose the queen for the time being."

Queen Song raised her curved eyebrows under her smooth forehead, and a hint of suspicion appeared in her sparkling eyes. She said in a cold voice: "Not deposing the queen for now? But you will depose her in the end, right?"

The word "temporary" means that she will be eliminated in the end?

Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "My Lady, please be patient."

Queen Song trimmed her eyebrows and looked coldly at the young man in the python robe with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his words.
