Huaibi

He Jinyi is still in the palace today. Before that, he made a special trip to the Jingzhong teahouse market and listened to the chatter of the people in Beijing.The people in the market are idle and bored, as expected, they talked about the prince's entry into the mountain, but there are almost no words that are more unfavorable than Ping Huaizhen.

He Jinyi left in peace.

The little eunuch Jiang Chang saw He Jinyi coming from a distance, and he didn't rush in to ask for instructions, and bowed his head to say hello.

The room was quiet and quiet, Ping Huaizhen was copying the famous post behind the table, without raising his head, he just pretended to be some palace maid when he heard the movement, and said: "Brew a new pot of tea."

He Jinyi paused, but found it interesting, went to the table and took the teapot and walked out.

At this time, the gray magpie barked twice, and Ping Huaizhen looked up and saw He Jinyi's leaving back, but couldn't cry, and waited for a while, crying and laughing, waiting for him to bring back the hot tea.

Ping Huaizhen put down his pen and went out, pulled him to sit down at the table, poured tea for him himself as an apology for ordering him, and said helplessly: "Don't you know what to say, I told you to make tea, you really don't like it went?"

"You let me go, do I still want to go?" He Jinyi couldn't tell the seriousness in his words, "I will go too."

In the past, when he said such things, whether it was a joke or not, he always liked to concede, but now that he gave up such a self-proclaimed name, Ping Huaizhen felt a little different.

Ping Huaizhen was sharper than him, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.

After He Jinyi finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed, held the teacup and drank lightly on his lips, his eyes only fell on Hui Magpie, and said something else: "I passed by the market when I came here, and I heard some folk opinions, and I fell in love with you." It’s not a bad thing to say, it’s a good thing.”

Ping Huaizhen didn't refute directly when he heard the words, and said euphemistically: "If I say that the rumor is not from my uncle, how would Jin Yi feel?"

He Jinyi was stunned.

"what?"

Ping Huaizhen explained: "I don't know where the wind came from. You and I are still in a dream, and everyone in Beijing already knows it."

He Jinyi had the answer in his heart, and became more and more puzzled.The reputation of this matter is all good, and it is absolutely unreasonable to say that the people around the sixth prince did it intentionally.Everyone just wished that Ping Huaizhen would fall from the horse and never stand up, so how could he win the hearts of the people for him?

"It doesn't make sense." He Jinyi couldn't figure out what idea he had in a trance that could lead him to find the truth, but he couldn't grasp it anyway, and couldn't help feeling numb.

"It doesn't make sense," Ping Huaizhen nodded, "but if there is a knife hidden in the smile and the trap is buried deep, does it make sense?"

"What's the trap?"

Ping Huaizhen laughed: "It would be great if I could see."

He Jinyi showed a worried look, and he couldn't bear it, so he covered his palm to comfort him: "Forget it, you have a good rest tonight, and you and I will go to the mountain again tomorrow night."

He Jinyi suppressed his anxiety and nodded, pretending to be relaxed and smiling.

A day later, the two of them entered the mountain again.

I don't know if the two elders of Yunhe remembered their previous promise, they treated each other as if they were lighting a lamp, and they rested later than last time.Ping Huaizhen was grateful, the little candles in the bamboo house were extinguished while listening to the voices outside, but he was full of enthusiasm, knowing that the attitude of the two elders had loosened, and he waited more devoutly.

At dawn, the bamboo door opened again, and the old man in the house said two words from a distance: "Go back."

Seeing that the bamboo door was closed again, Ping Huaizhen stepped forward three steps closer to the fence, and bowed three times: "Senior is gone today, but I will come back later."

"No see." A voice came from inside the bamboo house.

From the beginning to the end, it was only four words, but it didn't drive him away.Ping Huaizhen couldn't make any progress, so he bid farewell and promised to come back in a day.

"Maybe I can invite you out next time."

On the way down the mountain, He Jinyi laughed with him and said that after one time, he seemed much more energetic this time.The corners of Ping Huaizhen's lips curved with joy, and he also felt that when he came back the next day, maybe he could invite the second elder to show up and talk to him face to face.

So far there seems to be no obstacles.

The people of Beijing were full of interest, and although the matter of the prince's going to the mountain to seek talents had nothing to do with him, it was enough to serve as a topic of conversation after dinner.The voice of public opinion is boiling more and more than waves, but Ping Huaizhen can't figure out where those eyes are staring, and can clearly see when the little spark in the bamboo house is ignited and when it is extinguished .

The accompanying guards are all confidantes, so there is no need to doubt, but in the vast cold mountain, there is no one who hides in the dark and stays up all night like him?

It is so frightening to see people's hearts.

Prince Chengyuan's heir son Pingxiya, who hadn't been in the palace for a long time, came and didn't go anywhere, just playing in the Xu'an Palace, playing with the strange things in the prince's bedroom one by one.

Ping Huaizhen ordered several cakes for him, coaxing him to fill his stomach, and asked strangely: "It's rare to see you once in a while, why do you think of entering the palace today?"

Pingxiya was chewing crisply with a piece of crispy candy wrapped in his mouth, he was also happy, and replied: "Yes, my concubine seldom allows me to come to the palace, and for some reason today, she asked me to come and accompany the prince. "

Ping Huaizhen became suspicious.

"My concubine also asked me to speak to the prince's elder brother." Ping Xiya raised his head and looked up at him, as if he was recalling what Princess Chengyuan said, turned his head to see that there was no one around, and put it close to his ear and whispered Speak in a voice, the words are childlike, but I don't know that every word is very important, "Brother Prince, please go up the mountain tonight, and don't wait until tomorrow night."

Ping Huaizhen had an alarm bell in his head, his complexion suddenly sank, and he stood up from the table.

Ping Xiya was startled, the crispy candy in his hand slipped onto the table, was pecked twice by the gray magpie, before he recovered, he was ordered to be sent out of the palace by the ugly-looking Ping Huaizhen, at a loss as to what he had done wrong.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, the sky was still bright, and all the guards in the palace rode out of the city and went straight to Xianshan.Eagerly, horseshoes trampled the streets and alleys of the market, startling the common people who were about to close their stalls and go home.

He Jinyi, who had just returned to the house not long after he had changed his clothes, listened to the wind, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly became distraught, led the horse out of the stable, and chased after him with a whip.

Ping Huaizhen's eyebrows were jumping, and he had no time to think about why Princess Chengyuan would send a message to him, even if the matter was really strange, how could she be involved with this gentle woman.Right now, he feels ominous, let alone explaining the night, even if it is too late to enter the mountain tonight...

The steed was panting heavily through its nose, and had to stop halfway up the hillside as it traveled along the way. The steep mountain road ahead made it difficult for the horses to walk.Ping Huaizhen jumped off the horse, didn't dare to delay for a moment, how could he know that it was still too late, after walking a few steps, he saw thick smoke billowing from the mountainside.

Black and gray smoke billowed and filled the surrounding fields, Ping Huaizhen's face was pale.

"Rescue!"

The guards dared not be negligent, but Ping Huaizhen behind him couldn't move half a step away, knowing that this order was deceiving himself and others.Under the fire, An De survived?Even before the fire was caught, the two senior scholars had already been murdered.

The bamboo house on the hillside is close to the mountain spring, but the fire was so fierce that it took a lot of effort to put it out.Remnants of bamboo and broken walls, the miserable appearance is no longer similar to the elegant appearance of yesterday.

He Jinyi, who was late, staggered forward, glanced into the room but couldn't move his feet, his stomach was tumbling, and after a while, he couldn't help turning around to vomit, his eyes were scarlet, and tears rolled down.

Finally got it.

Ping Huaizhen felt cold all over his body, like falling into an ice cave.

At that time, the prince was courteous to the virtuous and corporal, bowed himself to seek the virtuous, and guarded the cold mountain at night; the two elders of Yunhe didn't know good and bad, so they angered the prince and set him on fire.

It's him, it's all his flat arms!

He also said that he was humble and respectful, but he turned out to be so cruel, violent and arrogant-such a bad comment was the evil result he swallowed this time.

The purpose of those who harmed him was far more than that. They not only wanted him to be notorious and fell out of favor with Emperor Hongxuan, but also wanted him to fall from the clouds into the dust and mud, never to turn over again.

Sooner or later they were going to kill him.

"Prince," the chief guard stood up from the two unrecognizable corpses, and turned around to report, "there are knife marks on the neck. It should be murder first and fire second."

Ping Huaizhen closed her eyes, and after a long while she was finally able to speak: "Bury carefully..."

It's a good one to kill first and set fire later.

The wish of the person who set the fire was to teach the capital to see the thick smoke rising from the northern suburbs.What a coincidence that the crown prince went out of the city with his front foot, and the idle mountain caught fire with his back foot.It's a pity that despite the good intentions of Princess Chengyuan, she still failed to stop Mosha hiding in the dark for him.

He never killed anyone, but the elders died because of him, Ping Huaizhen knelt down on one knee towards the bamboo house and bowed.

He Jinyi followed him to salute, filled with regret in his heart, hated himself for not being able to think more carefully when he clearly noticed something strange early in the morning, so as to guess the villain's intentions earlier.Now two lives were implicated by this, innocent people died, and the peace and tranquility of Xianyun Yehe was gone.

He has been with Ping Huaizhen for nearly ten years, and this is the first time he has faced the bloody struggle for imperial power.He knows that the situation is treacherous, and the stability that floated on the surface in the past is gone...

Same as the previous two episodes, the story of the Xianshan fire spread throughout the capital within the same day. Before nightfall, even young children sang nursery rhymes, insinuating the cruelty of the present prince.

Emperor Hongxuan was furious, even if he didn't believe that Ping Huaizhen would commit such evil deeds, he blamed him for making enemies everywhere and not knowing how to behave, so that others could take advantage of this opportunity.Ping Huaizhen's background is extraordinary, even though she is considered to be at the queen's knee, it is inevitable that she will be dissatisfied.As the emperor, Emperor Hongxuan could make him a prince since he was a child, but how to convince the public and win the hearts of the people for him?

How can the talent of an emperor be so weak and powerless.

Ping Huaizhen knelt in front of the hall to plead guilty, and was fined to be grounded for three months, and copied a hundred volumes of the ancestor's "Emperor's Training".

The folks were dissatisfied, and there was a secret rumor that "the emperor broke the law and did not commit the same crime as the common people", which made Emperor Hongxuan so annoyed that he ordered a thorough investigation into the truth of the fire in Xianshan.The so-called thorough investigation is just to show that the prince is innocent, but the bodies of the two elders Yunhe have been buried, and the bamboo house on the mountainside has been burned beyond recognition.

The matter came to an end, Ping Huaizhen was forbidden to leave the Xu'an Palace, He Jinyi only saw him once in a ten-year period, and he stayed in the mansion all day long, worrying, I am afraid that Ping Huaizhen is alone in the palace, and now the situation is getting worse If you are passive, you are more likely to be plotted against.

Ping Huaizhen copied the "Emperor's Training" in the palace, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, and slowly wrote four characters on the waste paper beside him - Chengyuan Palace.
