As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Zheng Chengsi knew that his words had aroused the Queen's longing for him, which was also the main purpose of his coming to the palace today.

At the same time, Li Jing was on his way to the Queen's palace. When he arrived at the door of the Queen's palace as before, he saw the servant standing at the door and his eyes darkened.

"Is Prince Zheng here?" Li Jing asked the eunuch beside him.

"Yes, Prince Zheng has been here for some time."

Li Jing immediately felt unhappy. Although Zheng Chengsi was now on his side, he was still a little worried about the Zheng family.

The daughter of the Zheng family married the second emperor, which was always a knot for Li Jing. Although he was raised under the name of the queen, he was a little different from Li Xuli. He was not raised by the queen until he was six years old.

Li Xuli was brought up by the queen from the day he was born. Except that the queen did not give birth to him in the true sense, Li Xuli was no different from the queen's children.

In Li Jing's eyes, he was still worried whether Li Xuli would come back to compete with him for the position. So he tried his best to honor the queen and thought about her every day. In a sense, he was trying to please the queen.

Li Jing also believed that as long as he could make the Queen the Queen Mother and be absolutely filial to her, the Queen and the Zheng family behind her would definitely stand by his side and become his supporters.

In recent years, Li Jing did feel that the queen had slowly changed her mind and put the Zheng family behind him. If Li Wenxuan hadn't been playing tricks behind the scenes, the Sun family would have been a great help to the queen!

Yes, Li Jing always thought that it was Li Wenxuan and Concubine Xian who were behind the scenes, which was why Emperor Yingde gave Sun Shuhao to Li Wenxuan as his principal wife.

"Should I go in and report it?" the eunuch asked in a low voice.

Li Jing came back to his senses from his thoughts and smiled gently: "No need, the Queen Mother must be talking to Chengsi, I'll just wait at the door, no need to disturb me."

"Yes." The eunuch didn't dare to say more and answered with his head down.

At this time, inside the room, the queen carefully handed the fox fur blanket to the nanny beside her and said gently, "It seems that Xu Li is living well over there."

Zheng Chengsi: "Yes, His Highness has been going to the hunting grounds to hunt wild animals recently. I heard from my sister that once he saw a pregnant rabbit and couldn't bear to kill it, so he brought it back for my sister to raise."

"He's still just like when he was little." The Queen sighed softly, with a hint of sadness between her brows. "If it weren't for his temper, he wouldn't have gotten into such a fight with his father."

At this point, the queen's face didn't look very good, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead and shake her head.

Zheng Chengsi immediately comforted him, "Your Highness has a pure heart, which is rare."

He did not continue to follow the Queen's words, and he understood that even if he knew the truth of that year, he could not easily speak it out. Moreover, the Second Prince's character was truly rare in such a palace.

"I paved the way for you and your sister in the beginning, but it's a pity... it's a pity that he just doesn't consider me as his mother... he only thinks about his brotherly love..."

"Empress!" The nanny beside the queen saw that something was wrong and immediately stood up and shouted sternly.

Zheng Chengsi concealed his fleeting emotion and lowered his eyes.

The queen pulled her lips into a smile, and there was a flash of scarlet in her dark and deep phoenix eyes, which she concealed by lowering her head slightly.

"Okay, this is all old news, I won't talk about it anymore."

"Don't worry, aunt."

Li Jing at the door had a look of hostility in his eyes. He had been outside for a while and had not waited for Zheng Chengsi to come out. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the queen's words.

He glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately understood and said, "The Fourth Prince has arrived."

Following this voice, Li Jing immediately put away the gloomy expression on his face and walked in as warmly as a spring breeze.

The queen also put down her hand that was supporting her forehead and gave the nanny a look, looking like the noble mother of the country.

Zheng Chengsi also stood up and bowed to Li Jing. "Your Highness."

Li Jing smiled and bowed to the queen above him: "Greetings, mother."

"Please get up, my prince."

"Thank you, mother." There was no displeasure on his face, and then he walked over and held Zheng Chengsi's wrist: "Cousin, there is no need to be so formal. In front of mother, we are a family."

Li Jing dared to say it, but Zheng Chengsi couldn't really do it, so he just smiled.

"Since the Fourth Prince has come, I will take my leave first."

The queen stared at Zheng Chengsi, then looked at Li Jing who was standing there with a warm smile, and nodded.

After getting the queen's nod, Zheng Chengsi left the queen's palace.

Now that the roots have been planted and the seeds of doubt have been planted in Li Jing's heart, the goal is already half achieved.

……

After Zheng Chengsi left, he met an unfamiliar eunuch on his way out of the palace. The two of them just glanced at each other and then the man left.

I never saw anyone again after that.

Soon Meng Changce received the news from Zheng Chengsi in his study. He turned around and burned the paper in his hand, curled his lips, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

"Go and send a message to the master at the Imperial Observatory, and tell him everything the Fourth Prince wants to know."

"Yes!"

Only a cold and indifferent voice was heard in the room, and in a second the breeze disappeared like a shadow.

Meng Changce lowered his long eyelashes, the red firelight reflected on his face, dimly revealing a sense of indifference and sharpness. There was also a hint of cruelty in the smile on his lips, and the thing in his hand was trembling slightly.

If Shen Lanyue could see his appearance at this moment, she would be able to see his true face just like in his previous life.

After leaving the palace, Li Jing locked himself in his room and drove away all those who came to pay their respects. His usually gentle face was now covered with dark clouds and looked terrifyingly gloomy.

There was a turbulent look in his eyes, with a hint of mad blood red.

"Your Highness." The secret guard appeared in the darkness and knelt down.

Li Jing sneered, touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and said coldly: "Go and find out the truth about why the second prince left Beijing."

"Yes!"

"And...what's going on with the daughter of the Zheng family?" Li Jing stopped the secret guard who was leaving and gave him instructions.

"Yes."

If we really want to investigate this matter, it is not that simple. Since it is an order issued by Emperor Yingde himself, how many people can really know the truth and know the truth while still alive?

But there is such a person who really exists, and that is Lord Chen, the current head of the Imperial Observatory!

Thanks to Meng Changce's favor, it became much easier for the secret guards to find Lord Chen again.

Meng Changce planned it from the very beginning when he did a favor to the Imperial Observatory.
