What is this thing?Qian Jiujiu was stunned. Fifth Prince? That idiot Mu Yexing? Qian Jiujiu could not help but be curious, why would the emperor still remember him in his heart?
She remembered that the Fifth Prince Mu Yexing was the empress"s son, and also the emperor"s direct son. Could it be that the emperor had other plans? Qian Jiujiu thought, but how should she answer that?
Seeing Qian Jiujiu not saying a word, Mu Yexing could not help but cough twice, "Jiu Er, can you treat him?
"Fifth brother was very smart when he was young. He could read when he was three and wrote poems when he was seven. He"s a genius."
When Mu Yexing was young, he was an extremely intelligent child. Unfortunately, he did not know how to hide his true self, which was why he chose to frame him.
However, his intelligence was something the emperor had never forgotten, right? He glanced at the emperor, then looked at Mu Yexiao, who shook his head. "Your majesty, I don"t know."
"I didn"t check the Fifth Prince"s pulse, so I don"t know if this poison can be cured." How about royal father, you invite the Fifth Prince over so that your daughter-in-law can try? "
The emperor"s expression was somewhat disappointed. He didn"t hear Qian Jiujiu"s promise to treat him, but he knew that Qian Jiujiu"s answer was the truth. If she didn"t see the patient, how could she have treated him?
However, Qing Guifei frowned and looked at the emperor: "If Jiu Er can cure the Fifth Prince, then it would also be extremely good."
Qian Jiujiu was horrified, what did that mean? How much of a conspiracy is the royal family? This Qing Guifei shouldn"t be saying this on purpose, right? To show her magnanimity?
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu"s eyes that were darting all over the place, and he knew that this girl was probably thinking about something again. He coughed once, "Jiu Er."
Qian Jiujiu regained her senses in an instant, looked at Mu Yexiao and asked: "What"s wrong?"
Mu Yexiao coughed twice: "I"m fine."
Qian Jiujiu shot a glance at Mu Yexiao. This guy, he has nothing to do. Seeing the two of them interacting, the Emperor couldn"t help but laugh out loud and look at Mu Yexiao"s legs.
He only looked at Qing Guifei, "Let"s invite the empress over for lunch at noon."
Qing Guifei didn"t have any objections, but Qian Jiujiu had already gotten to the point. Why did she feel that there was something strange about it? Glancing at Mu Yexiao, Mu Yexiao coincidentally looked at her as well.
"Jiu Er, push me out."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes. Royal father and Concubine Mother are both here, is it really appropriate for them to go out and whisper?
However, when he saw that the emperor Qing Guifei"s face did not show any sign of displeasure, Qian Jiujiu felt slightly more at ease. Qing Guifei even glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Go, you youngsters have too much to say."
"There"s nothing to do here with us."
Why did it feel so strange? Weren"t they clearly here to accompany them? Thinking about it, Qian Jiujiu couldn"t help but feel speechless, so she followed Mu Yexiao out.
Once they were outside, Qian Jiujiu impatiently asked Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, why do I feel that your relationship with the Empress is a little strange?"
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes at Qian Jiujiu: "What"s strange about that? Just ask whatever you want to ask. There"s no need to beat around the bush like this, I will tell you anything you want to know. "
Qian Jiujiu"s intentions had been exposed, and she felt a little embarra.s.sed. However, she was still very curious, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Then I"ll directly ask."
"If I am able to cure Mu Yexing, do you wish for me to cure him?"
Mu Yexiao nodded immediately: "Of course it"s hope. If you can cure him, you must cure him."
Qian Jiujiu blinked his eyes, "But aren"t you afraid that such a smart person would actually be cured by me? What if I steal your throne?"
Mu Yexiao chuckled twice, "Do you know why I was sealed as a prince and not a crown prince?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head but her heart was filled with curiosity. That"s right, her favorite child, the Emperor should have been conferred the t.i.tle of Crown Prince, right? How could it be that the prince was sealed first?
Qian Jiujiu suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she knew something, "They are all the people closest to you, the crown prince. But the truth is the opposite, you are the person furthest away from the position of crown prince."
"But Mu Yexiao, when I told you that you wanted to, when you wanted to sit in that position, you did not refute me."
Mu Yexiao laughed out loud: That"s right, I am the person furthest from that spot, and that"s because my ambition is not there, but other than the third prince, there are other people in the center of the court.
"Also, third brother has an arrogant and conceited nature. Although he looks gentle on the surface, in private, he is extremely cruel. How can a person like him sit in that position?"
"Fourth brother"s ability is a problem, but it can also be said to be a problem of hobbies. If we forcefully push him up, I"m afraid it will be even more harmful. Fifth brother is actually the best choice."
"You don"t know yet, but Fifth Brother and I were born on the same day, and the time we were born is almost the same." The day we were born, a Taoist came. "
"The Daoist said that Fifth Brother was destined to be the crown prince and would become a future king. After that, his performance was also outstanding. Furthermore, he is the direct descendant of the empress, so everything goes according to the plan. "
"However, at the end, he became a fool. However, your appearance gave me a chance."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she was shocked. She looked at Mu Yexiao and asked, "But do you really not want to take that position?"
Mu Yexiao laughed, "Even you know that, when you make that position, although you eat well and wear well, you are imprisoned every day in this rich and powerful house."
"In the face of endless memorials and unending State affairs, what is the point? Look at my royal father, actually the only woman he wants is Concubine Mother. "
"But I had no choice but to accept the imperial harem. When I was young, I also saw how Concubine Mother washed her face with tears when royal father went to another palace. I don"t like this kind of scene."
"So when you said those outrageous words to me, I wasn"t angry. I was just thinking."
Qian Jiujiu"s heartbeat suddenly quickened, her voice stuttering: "You, what are you thinking about?"
Mu Yexiao looked at her nervous face and suddenly laughed: "I still haven"t thought about it, when I think it through, I will tell you the answer, but I am speaking my heart, if possible, you must remember to cure fifth brother."
When Qian Jiujiu saw Mu Yexiao"s solemn request, she couldn"t help but nod her head, "If I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Mu Yexiao suddenly laughed: "Of course, I"m not trying to force you to make things difficult for yourself. If you can"t do it, then you have me behind you! No one can hurt you. "
Qian Jiujiu smiled at Mu Yexiao: "I know, Mu Yexiao is the strongest."
As the two spoke, they heard the eunuch say, "The empress has arrived."
This was the second time Qian Jiujiu had seen the Queen. She looked gentle and imposing, and had a lot of air about her. However, compared to the first time, Qian Jiujiu felt that it was a little strange.
The first time I met the empress, I felt that she was a weak and useless person. There was a former Qing Guifei who acted arrogantly and a later, there was a Consort Xian who was extremely despotic and despotic.
Only now did Qian Jiujiu know that the reason why Qing Guifei was so arrogant, was because he had to clash with the Consort Xian every single time. This was a form of self-protection, causing the Consort Xian to not dare to act rashly.
It was also a way of protecting the empress and weakening her influence. This way, even if the two fought to the death, neither of them would be able to do anything to the other. Although the empress"s influence wasn"t that great, her position was firm.
Qian Jiujiu clicked her tongue twice. Luckily she did not come to the harem, otherwise, she would have died a miserable death.
And what was even more surprising was that the background of this Consort Xian was actually so huge. Half of the Great Zhou Country"s army was in the hands of the Consort Xian"s parents.
Logically speaking, this kind of concubine shouldn"t have made her go up and down for the prince. Otherwise, the emperor would have been in extreme danger.
Thinking about Consort Xian, Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "My prince, I remember that a month has pa.s.sed. This Queen of Consort Xian, I"m afraid she has been released from her confinement."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, we are out. Don"t provoke that woman first. Let"s go in. "
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and then pushed Mu Yexiao in. As soon as they entered, they saw that the three of them were getting along really well, and Qing Guifei was currently playing chess with the empress.
As for the emperor, he was giving guidance to Qing Guifei, while the two of them were dealing with the empress himself. When he saw Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao enter, he gave them a meaningful glance.
"Xiao"er and Jiu Er have come in! Quickly go and help your mother. Your mother is going to lose and not leave a single piece behind."
The corner of Mu Yexiao"s mouth twitched. He was obviously accustomed to this kind of situation and had gotten used to it.
Qian Jiujiu stood behind Mu Yexiao and looked at the few people, suddenly understanding that she had treated Mu Yexiao"s poison, and was acknowledged by them.
That was the reason why he acted this way in front of her. If that was the case, wouldn"t she unknowingly join their camp?
But it didn"t seem to matter, because she was already in Mu Yexiao"s camp from the start, and was not interested in chess, only watching the few of them play.
Qian Jiujiu entered the kitchen of Qing Guifei"s palace and prepared to cook. Even though the current Mu Yexiao had medicinal food as well, it didn"t matter if he ate or drank medicinal food every now and then.
Therefore, when he entered the palace today, he didn"t bring any medicinal food for Mu Yexiao.
After thinking about it, Qian Jiujiu then entered the kitchen. Once she entered, the palace maids and servants inside quickly kneeled down.
Qian Jiujiu acknowledged and said, "Get up, all of you. This w.a.n.gfei will see what kind of dinner is, you guys can make yourselves."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu say this, these servants started to continue working. Qian Jiujiu, on the other hand, watched these people cook and took a sniff at the same time.
Qian Jiujiu immediately stood up and looked at a servant who was pouring a pile of red ginseng into the duck soup.
Qian Jiujiu could not help but pick it up and smell: "What is this?"
