Cui Yuexi thought it would be Concubine Xian who would end the farce, but she never expected that the queen would suddenly stand up.

Seeing the empress look as if she was drained of strength in an instant after killing Concubine Hui's mother and son, she suddenly cracked the empress's mood.

Concubine Xian comforted the queen, she knew very well that after losing the emperor, the queen lost everything in an instant, and the huge sense of gap made her completely collapse.

Compared with the queen's deep love, Concubine Xian is much calmer, even though she feels sad, she doesn't look like the queen as if the sky is falling.

Concubine Hui didn't dare to make any fuss anymore, for fear that she would be dragged into the imperial mausoleum to be buried with the emperor. The fifth prince was also much quieter. Seven days later, the emperor's body was sent to the imperial mausoleum.

The prince was still in grief, but he had no choice but to force himself to deal with other things.

The concubines were supposed to go to the imperial tomb to drink poisonous wine or give white silk before the emperor's body entered the imperial tomb, but when the eunuch in charge was preparing everything, he suddenly received a decree from Eunuch Ni.

In order to pray for the emperor, the prince will reduce the karma of killing, accumulate meritorious deeds, and exempt the living burial regulations. Those concubines who have never been favored can go home and find someone else to marry. They can choose to go to the temple to cultivate, or stay in the palace, or they can go home to reunite with their families. For the sake of the dignity of the heavenly family, they are not allowed to marry again, and live as the widow of the former emperor for the rest of their lives.

The prince will not treat them harshly, and has already chosen another address to build a palace for them to live in.

The empress ascended to the position of empress dowager, and the prince respected the concubine Xian, and was even more grateful for her contribution in governing the harem, so he specially named her empress dowager.

If you are willing to leave with the princes to entrust the land, you can leave the palace. If you are not far away, you can live in the palace for a long time.

Concubine Shu was reluctant to part with Concubine Xian, so she stayed in the palace. Although the five princes had already been named kings, they were still unwilling in their hearts. Even though the overall situation was settled, they always fantasized about fighting.

The fifth prince has been reluctant to go to the fief for a long time. As for Li Jing's status as a prince, he can live in the capital for a long time.

On the night of the late emperor's burial, the crown prince took Li Jing to drink heavily, and the two brothers sat in the snow, looking at the full moon in the sky. After drinking a few glasses of water and wine, the crown prince started talking.

"Fourth brother, you know how much I envy you. You are so outstanding in everything and everything. At that time, I will be a prince, but my qualifications will be mediocre. If not for my father's protection, maybe I will not be a prince."

The prince smiled wryly. There is a kind of person in the world who sees through everything but never exposes it. The prince only feels that he is deceiving himself.

"Brother, don't say that about yourself. You are kind and generous, and you are the most suitable talent for an emperor, and I am too murderous. You are more suitable for that position than me."

Only when a benevolent person sits on the throne can he really think about the people and make political achievements that benefit the people.

Li Jing raised the jug, touched the crown prince, then poured it into his mouth with his head up. The clear liquid flowed down his chin and lingered on his clothes.

"Fourth brother, there is something I want to tell you. Even though my father has ordered me thousands of times, I still want to tell you."

The prince thought over and over again, and finally chose to confess to Li Jing. He also wanted to test out what Li Jing was up to.

No matter how Li Jing chooses in the end, he can face the result calmly.

"Brother, do you want to talk about the fact that the father buried weapons under the palace?" Li Jing looked at the prince with gentle eyes, seeing the difference in the prince's appearance, some of them smiled and curled their lips.

"You all know?"

The crown prince couldn't believe it, but he had already known the perfect secret that the emperor thought he was hiding.

Li Jing raised his head and took a sip of the wine, then turned to look at the prince.

"Just because of my elder brother's honesty today, I am willing to be a courtier."

If the prince didn't mention anything, Li Jing would be wary. After all, the emperor left the prince alone in the inner hall, and he must explain these important things.

If the crown prince doesn't confess, he is deliberately guarding against Li Jing and doesn't trust him at all.

He was betting, and it turned out that he was right. The prince is indeed someone who can be trusted.

As far as the prince is concerned, he is not betting, betting on Li Jing's will, and as a result, a win-win situation appears.

"Fourth brother, thank you."

The prince thanked him gratefully, and Li Jing smiled brightly, "Why do you and my brothers say so many unreasonable things?"

The behavior of the crown prince's promotion of the virtuous concubine has already stunned Li Jing. People's hearts are full of flesh. Tonight, the crown prince's words will allow him to pursue freedom with peace of mind.

"You're all drunk, why are you sitting in the snow? It's so cold, it's a terrible day. You're so old, it's still worrying."

The voices of Cui Yuexi and the new empress came, the crown prince and Li Jing looked over and put the jug behind them in unison.

"My fourth brother and I are looking at the stars, the stars are shining brightly tonight..." The prince who has become the emperor raised his head, and when he saw the dark sky without any stars, he swallowed back the words.

Li Jing sneered, looked at him like a fool, then smiled provocatively, and stretched out his hand towards Cui Yuexi.

I thought that Cui Yuexi would pull him up, but Cui Yuexi stood there with her arms folded and looked at him coldly.

Li Jing knew that Cui Yuexi was angry, so she hurriedly got up and took her hand, took her into her arms, and flew away with a light touch.

Li Jing whispered in her ear, "Yuexi, let's settle the accounts after we go home, save me some face."

Cui Yuexi glanced at the prince and snorted coldly.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we go back to the house."

Li Jing didn't understand why Cui Yuexi had such a sudden temper. She was usually gentle and gentle, and she had never spoken loudly to him. Why did she seem to be a different person today.

Li Jing couldn't figure it out, and soon the two left the palace and returned to the palace in a carriage.

As soon as she entered the door of the room, Cui Yuexi raised her hand and pinched Li Jing's waist.

"Did you forget something today?" Cui Yuexi gritted her teeth and asked, Li Jing frowned and thought, maybe she was too drunk, her cheeks were stained with a blush, her breath was full of alcohol, Cui Yuexi frowned displeased .

"What's the matter?" Li Jing thought for a long time but couldn't remember.

He sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, almost couldn't open his eyes, and barely opened a gap to look at Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi took a deep breath, thinking of how Liu Chengde waited for Li Jing for two hours in the freezing weather and refused to leave even if he contracted typhoid fever, she was furious.

"Do you know where Chengde is?"

Cui Xuxu asked, but when she mentioned it, Li Jing yelled inwardly that he was not good, and got up to leave.

Cui Yuexi pulled him back, "You don't need to go, the little brother has already returned home, he has been waiting for you for two hours, but you didn't go, if it wasn't for mother Weihe, he would go back, that idiot would still be waiting for you."

Cui Yue felt helpless when she thought of Liu Chengde's stupidity, his admiration for Li Jing was almost ignorant.
