It is unknown what happened in the capital. The husband and wife have left a lot of manpower in the capital. There is no point in worrying now that there is no news.

"I'm afraid this is the Queen's plan, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much." Ji Zhen comforted Xiao Chengjun.

Xiao Chengjun nodded, it was already getting late, and everyone was exhausted after traveling all day, so they stopped talking and went to the guest rooms to rest.

Concubine Shu's mother's family name is Mu, and her ancestors were born as carpenters. Today, other members of the Mu family are still engaged in the wood carving business. In the governor's mansion of Yuezhou, rare and interesting wood carvings can be seen everywhere.

The housekeeper packed up four rooms according to the ceremony and came out. Lou Jing went straight into Xiao Chengjun's bedroom without even looking at her own room.

"I miss you..." Lou Jing entered the room and stuck to Xiao Chengjun's back as if she had no bones.

"We haven't seen each other for just a day." Xiao Chengjun laughed and walked forward, dragging the large plaster on his back.

"It's been a whole day." He walked to the bedside and quietly raised his leg to trip Xiao Chengjun. The two of them immediately fell onto the soft bed. Lou Jing pressed on him and climbed up, biting one ear. "There is a beautiful woman.

I will never forget what I saw..."

Xiao Chengjun turned his head to look at him, Lou Jing opened his ears and looked at him, slowly approached, bit his lip, "I miss him like crazy after not seeing you for a day..."

Xiao Chengjun smiled slightly, closed his eyes and kissed him seriously.

"Daddy, daddy... ugh..." While they were making out, a soft and waxy cry came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, let's go back." The wet nurse coaxed in a low voice, but the child's crying became louder and louder.

"Beautiful daddy, daddy... Wow..." Xiao Qirui struggled to stand outside the door, slapping the door with his fat little hands, crying until his heart broke. Since Xiao Chengjin left the palace, he has not seen his father much, and now he can't even see his grandfather.

When he arrived, the excitement of riding the horse had long since disappeared, followed by panic and longing. At a young age, he still couldn't tell the difference between his father and uncle, he only thought it was his father.

The wet nurse didn't dare to use much force and could only coax in a low voice.

The door suddenly opened, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujian appeared in front of him with a solemn face. The nanny immediately knelt down and said, "My lord is atoneing for your sins. I was not careful. Your Highness the Grand Sun ran over by yourself and disturbed His Highness's rest. I deserve death for my crime."

"Daddy!" Xiao Qirui cried and rushed over, grabbing the hem of Xiao Chengjun's clothes and refusing to let go.

Xiao Chengjun rubbed his forehead and said, "You go down first." He dismissed the nanny, dragged the little lump of meat on his leg, and closed the door.

Seeing the wet nurse disappear, Xiao Qirui burst into laughter and jumped excitedly.

Lou Jing was lying on the bed, waiting for her husband to come back. Unexpectedly, he came back, but he also brought a small oil bottle.

"Beautiful daddy!" When Xiao Qirui saw the person on the bed, he immediately released his grip on Xiao Chengjun's clothes and waved his hand. He ran over and grabbed the high edge of the bed and ran up with all his strength. However, the person was too small and only two round eyes were exposed.

.

Xiao Qirui likes Xiao Chengjun because he looks like his biological father, so that's it. But why he likes Lou Jing is really puzzling.

Lou Jing grabbed the little guy's clothes with one hand, lifted him up, shook him like a chicken, shook off the two little shoes, and then threw him on the bed.

"Giggle..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to like this game very much and danced excitedly.

Xiao Chengjun sat by the bed and smiled helplessly, "You coax him to play for a while, and I'll go talk to Zhao Xi." He was not good at coaxing children. He had a headache when he saw the children, so he wanted to do something serious.

.

"Zhao Xi hasn't slept all day and night, and he must have fallen asleep by now." Lou Jing reached out and hugged the waist of the Prince of Fujian who was trying to escape.

Xiao Chengjun was pulled by him and fell on Lou Jing's body, facing a pair of big round eyes, looking at him with a smile.

Lou Jing sat up, hugged His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujian, and kissed him on the cheek, "Zhao Xi still wants to become an official and follow me as a military advisor, so I just happened to take him to quarrel with Lu."

Xiao Chengjun hurriedly pushed him away, "Rui'er is here."

Xiao Qirui was curiously exploring the unfamiliar big bed. When he heard someone calling him, he happily moved closer. Following Xiao Chengjun's example, there was a saliva mark on his face.

"Bad boy, this is me." Lou Jing was unhappy, raised her hand to wipe away the drool, and kissed her again.

"Okay, you two should calm down for a while." Xiao Chengjun sat up, pushed Lou Jing into the bed, and lay on the outside. So many things happened today, and he wanted to calm down and think about it.

"Shh, daddy is angry." Lou Jing pulled Xiao Qirui over, lay with her, and whispered to him.

"Are you angry?" Xiao Qirui blinked.

"Yes, you can play by yourself and I'll coax daddy." Lou Jing casually took a small wooden sculpture from the Duobao Pavilion on the wall and stuffed it into his hand.

"Daddy is angry, give it to daddy." The child shook the wooden carving in his hand and crawled to hand it to Xiao Chengjun.

"Daddy doesn't do this," Lou Jing pulled him over and lowered his voice and said, "Daddy likes to play horse riding with me. After a while, I will climb on daddy and play with him for a while. You have to cover your eyes, you know?"

"Boom!" Lou Jing was hit hard on the back of the head. She whined and turned her head. She looked into the angry eyes of His Highness the Prince of Fujian and immediately smiled, "I was teasing him."

Xiao Qirui threw away the wooden sculpture in his hand and covered his eyes with his two chubby hands.

Xiao Chengjun rubbed his forehead and asked the future prince to be educated by a queen like Lou Jing. Would he really not be able to teach him wrongly?

Mu, the governor of Yuezhou, was very happy to see his grandsons and wanted to keep them for a few more days. However, Xiao Chengjun insisted on returning to his fiefdom and held his grandpa in the tea room for a secret chat all morning. Lou Jing put the emperor's grandson Kang on his shoulders and swung them.

He wandered off to find Zhao Xi.

This morning, it was very lively.

Concubine Chen was detained halfway and could not bring in reinforcements. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had diligently interrogated Luo Ji thoroughly.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial that I want to report." Before Yang Youting, the left prime minister, started to speak at length, Shen Lian went out of the queue first, holding a memorial.

Shen Lian didn't know much about literacy, so the memorial was written by someone else. When Huaizhong presented the memorial, Emperor Chunde didn't even look at it and asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"I was ordered to interrogate Luo Ji, the eunuch in charge of Luanyi Palace. The source was thought to be a matter in the inner palace. Unexpectedly, Luo Ji brought up several major events yesterday, which were related to the court. I had no choice but to report them." Shen Lian lowered his head and said gloomily.

He glanced at Right Minister Chen Shichang.

Chen Shichang's face changed drastically. Why didn't he know that such a big thing happened in the palace? The eunuch in charge of the imperial concubine was arrested and sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

There was also some commotion among officials from the right wing faction.

"Eunuch Shen, don't talk nonsense. How can a eunuch in the inner palace know anything that is important to the court?" Chen Shichang said coldly.

"Even the officials of the Ministry of Punishment changed their expressions when they heard about it. It is not surprising that Mr. Shen asked him anything." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also stated. The implication is that the Minister of Internal Affairs tortured him to extract a confession, and he was beaten into submission.

"We haven't said what we have confessed yet, so why should you be anxious, Your Excellency?" Shen Lian said calmly, with a chilling and gloomy tone in his words.

Emperor Chunde had always trusted Shen Lian, because the eunuch could only rely on the emperor's favor, so he always believed that Shen Lian was with him. "Shen Lian, tell me."

"Your Majesty, Na Luoji confessed that Chen Guifei not only intended to poison the emperor's grandson, but also killed many concubines in the harem, especially those who were pregnant with dragon seeds, which caused the emperor's heirs to wither." Shen Lianyong said in a slightly sharp voice. She spoke slowly, as if she was saying that Concubine Chen "not only likes to wear jade hairpins but also likes to wear gold bracelets."

The court was in an uproar. After the fourth prince, no prince was born in the harem. Everyone always thought that Emperor Chunde was in poor health and did not dare to say more. Who would have expected that he was actually killed.

Emperor Chunde also had a bad look on his face. Concubine Chen was often jealous, but he only regarded her as a coquettish show of favor and did not take it seriously. In recent years, the emperor's heirs have been thin, and he did not care.

"There is something," Shen Lian raised his voice, "Luo Ji confessed, the fourth prince Jinzhou died, something fishy happened."

The eunuch next to Concubine Chen said that the death of the fourth prince was strange. Is there any need to explain this? It was obviously the Chen family who was plotting to pave the way for the third prince.

When Yang Youting heard this, he immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, in accordance with my minister's opinion, there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. This matter should be investigated strictly."

The fourth prince died suddenly, and everyone had doubts in their minds. The so-called poisoning of the unborn emperor's heir was a matter of the harem, which may not be true. But if there was something fishy about the death of the fourth prince, it was indeed a big deal.

Emperor Chunde looked very ugly. When it came to this matter, even if he protected Chen Guifei, he could not fool her. Besides, he was also angry about the matter of the emperor's grandson. He immediately ordered a strict investigation and sent an imperial envoy to Jinzhou. , we must find out the cause of death of the fourth prince.

As for Concubine Chen, she was stripped of her imperial concubine title and demoted to a concubine. She was guarded in Guan Luanyi Palace until the matter came to light before a final decision could be made.

Adding fuel to the fire and adding insult to injury was Shen Lian's specialty. After lunch, he went to Emperor Chunde with a list of nobles in the harem who had been forced to have abortions by Concubine Chen over the years.

Xiao Chengjun took the emperor's grandson back to Minzhou first, and Ji Zhen was afraid of an accident on the road, so he also followed him and wanted to send them to Rongcheng before he could rest assured. With Ji Zhen following, Lou Jing felt relieved to carry Zhao Xi He went to Jiangzhou, took a few personal guards, and stormed into the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion in a menacing manner.

Lu looked like he was not interested in anything, and Lou Jing didn't talk nonsense to him. He stuck his saber on the table and sat with his legs crossed while drinking tea, looking like a complete rogue. Zhao Xi, on the other hand, smiled and pulled the governor, who was trembling with anger. Sir, "Our general is a military commander and doesn't like to talk much. If you have any difficulties, sir, just tell me."
