When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 240 Cultivation
"What? Dead?"

A beautiful female voice came from behind the golden nanmu screen.

In Fengyi Palace, glazed incense balls hang down from the beams, emitting bursts of fragrance.The plum blossoms in the blue-glazed vase swayed slightly, and some petals withered.

Behind the screen, Cheng Muqing was haggard and sat beside the bed with a pale face.Under the bed, there is also a copper basin filled with water.

"Mother, the news from outside the palace is that Jiusheng has indeed died on the street." Jinxi replied, "I will go to see him tomorrow morning, but I can't tell the reason for his death."

"Have you gone to see Wu Zuo?"

"I have gone to work with Dali Temple and the Golden Eagle Division, but there is still no conclusion."

This Yang Shurui moved quickly, Cheng Muqing leaned on his chin, with a little thought in his eyes.

In fact, she did let Jiu Sheng go on purpose, but her purpose was very simple, she simply let him go and didn't send anyone to follow him.

She just hoped that after Jiusheng returned to Yang Shurui's side, he could make him think more.For example, thinking that Jiusheng has betrayed, or making him guess that he sent someone to follow Jiusheng, thus putting pressure on Yang Shurui.

Now that Lin Heng has just ascended the throne, the court is unstable, if there is another moth on his side, Da Jin will really be tottering in this wind and rain.

She hoped that through Jiusheng, she could stabilize Yang Shurui for a while, so that he would not act rashly, even if it was only for a month.

But now...

"Hmm..." Cheng Muqing lay down beside the bed, retching.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming."

Her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her eyes were darkened.

When she regained consciousness, Lin Heng had already walked in front of her.

"I heard that you have morning sickness today." Lin Heng squatted down and looked at the woman on the bed, "It's been three months, why is it still like this?"

Cheng Muqing gave a bleak smile, and comforted, "It's okay, the imperial doctor came to see me and said I had eaten something bad."

In fact, she smelled the smell of corpses for a long time yesterday, and her body has been feeling sick all the time.

"Since you rescued me from the fire, you have been in poor health." Lin Heng's eyes were full of distress, he rubbed her head, pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Cheng Muqing propped himself up.

Lin Heng also got up quickly, and he sat beside her, holding her in his arms.

"Qingqing, did you go back to the palace yesterday?" Lin Heng grabbed her hand and kept kneading it.

"Yes." Cheng Muqing did not deny it.

After the fire, He Qianyuan kept telling her to take a good rest.Although she has a good background, she is a pregnant woman after all, and she went into the fire to save people. If her body is not affected at all, gods will not believe it.

"Don't get me wrong that I sent someone to follow you." Lin Heng said hastily, "It's my spies outside the palace who said that someone died on the street. I found Guard Cui, and I know you left the palace yesterday..."

"You still have spies outside the palace?" Cheng Muqing's eyes lit up, feeling a little inconceivable.

"You have to cultivate your own influence." Lin Heng smiled helplessly, "That man is called Yousi, a beggar with an ordinary appearance."

"You really hit it off with the beggar." Cheng Muqing couldn't help being amazed.

"Actually, a long time ago, Ah Feng and I played beggars when investigating disaster relief cases. At that time, I also knew a lot of beggars. When I went to the Golden Eagle Division to learn martial arts, I often contacted them. Now they have become my favorite beggars. Spies distributed in the capital."

"Do something important in a low voice." Cheng Muqing raised his hand and thumped his chest.

Lin Heng grabbed her hand, put her hand to his lips and kissed it.

"Since you have rebelled, you need to be prepared." Lin Heng lowered his eyes, looking at her slender but callused fingers, "As you said, I was able to get into this position because I was pushed up by someone. .There is no one of my own, and what I want to do, I hit a wall everywhere. They followed me at the time, but it was just to defeat Lin Wei. Once they lost their goals, returned to the right track, and the emperor changed people, they would be different. Appearance. Therefore, I want to cultivate my own power."

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded.

"I plan to transfer General Cheng back to the capital." Lin Heng said.

"Brother?" Cheng Muqing paused, "Forget it, you will be accused of foreign relatives meddling in politics."

Lin Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

"It's nothing." Cheng Muqing waved his hand.

"It will be Qiu Wei in a few days, and it may be a little busy." Lin Heng said, "When the time comes, don't be angry with me."

"Why are you angry?" Cheng Muqing stretched her arms around his neck, and she smelled the light and pleasant scent of sandalwood on his body, "In the past, you asked me everything you liked and followed me. To be honest, I thought at the time that you were quite I have no idea. But I don’t know when it started, but you have been able to accomplish a lot of things independently... I am proud of you."

Lin Heng hugged her back and buried his head in the crescent of her neck.

"From even struggling to hold a sword, to being able to hit two with one." Cheng Muqing continued, "Heng, you are really outstanding. I will support you no matter what you do."

In fact, she has always supported him and believed in him.

"Thank you." Lin Heng's voice was hoarse.

"You're welcome~"

Cheng Muqing answered easily.

……

The days soon came to the days of Qiuwei.

These days Lin Heng was almost out all the time, and when he returned to Fengyi Palace, he only reported good news but not bad news.Although Cheng Muqing has been staying in the palace waiting to give birth, he has heard some opinions from the outside world.

For example, Lin Heng transferred an official named Liao Xian from the small county to the capital, not only allowing him to enter the official department, but also making him the chief examiner of this autumn.This move aroused great dissatisfaction among the courtiers.The key point is that Liao Xian has a straight temper and often offends people, which has attracted one after another to impeach him.

But even in the face of so much dissatisfaction, Lin Heng still bite the bullet and saved him.

A few days later, a round of palace examinations began.

Cheng Muqing heard that Lin Heng selected several talented young people and temporarily assigned them to the Imperial Academy.

In order not to affect Cheng Muqing's rest, Lin Heng was often busy until late at night, returning to his study.

Go to the study.

There is a wall of wooden cabinets in the study room, and various books are placed in the cabinets.

In the middle of the study is a desk with all the four treasures of the study.

Lin Heng was dressed in a light yellow brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns and a jade crown on his head. His brows were cold and he was sitting upright, holding a copy of "Emperor's Art" in his hand.

There was a chirping knock on the door, followed by Ming Chen's clear voice, "Your Majesty, Master Liao has arrived."

"Come in." Lin Heng put the book aside, took a deep breath, and straightened his back even more.

Liao Xian is an old man over fifty years old with gray hair.

Lin Heng once inquired that Liao Xian was born in poverty, and in order to get out of the small mountain village, he studied hard since he was a child.But fate seems to be against him, and he fails every year in the scientific examination.Knowing that in the third year of Jin and Ming Dynasties, he was in his 40s, and he won the championship in one fell swoop.

"Master Liao, please sit down." Lin Heng stretched out his hand, signaling him to take a seat.

Liao Xian saluted before taking his seat.
