"Your Majesty, the soup is almost cold, please take a bite." Liang Jing held the bowl and asked the Queen to eat for the third time.
"I'm not hungry yet," said the queen, who had no appetite, "let's leave it for now."
"That's not possible. You only ate half a cup of bird's nest this morning. Nothing is more important than your body." Liang Jing insisted, "If you have anything to do, you have to finish your meal first."
"You, you are the only one in this palace who dares to speak to me like this." The queen was somewhat helpless, but she finally accepted the bowl.
After the queen finished eating, Liang Jing carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
He brought a small tea cup and served the queen to rinse her mouth, even carrying the gargle bowl herself.
Liang Jing will always be like this. As long as he is by the Queen's side, he will never need anyone else to serve him.
The maid on the side took the basin, the queen waved her hand gently, and everyone else withdrew wisely, leaving only Liang Jing himself.
"What happened today makes me feel quite uneasy," the queen said.
"Empress, what are you worried about?" Liang Jing asked, "Are you worried that there is a conspiracy in this matter, or something else?"
"If we look into this matter in detail, Feiyan and the others must have done it first. There is no doubt about this." The queen knew these people in her natal family quite well, but she always protected her shortcomings because she felt that only her natal family had talents.
The most reliable.
"The second prince and concubine are too strong and always want to compete with their heirs." Liang Jing never spoke directly to these people.
"There is nothing wrong with wanting to be strong, but her brain is really not strong enough." The queen snorted coldly, "Obviously she was tricked by someone, but she can't get any leverage against her."
"The empress is talking about the fifth prince and his concubines..." Liang Jing hesitated to speak.
"Can't you see?" The queen smiled, "They have been prepared for it a long time ago."
"Are they acting like this to protect themselves or have other ambitions?" Liang Jing certainly understood, "Is the empress worried about this?"
"We have tested it countless times before, and the people on their side have no ambitions, otherwise it would be impossible to keep them until now.
In addition, His Majesty does not show any preference towards Concubine Fu and Lao Wu, so this is what reassures me the most.
But now there is an emperor’s eldest grandson..."
"Are you afraid that the emperor's eldest grandson will only win your majesty's favor?" Liang Jing asked tentatively, "Then do you want to find a way to..."
"Naturally, we have to be more vigilant against the people on their side in the future, but we can't rush to take action, otherwise we will commit the same stupidity as Ma Feiyan." The queen shook her head gently, and touched the southern pearl on the emerald phoenix crown to tremble, "After today,
Such a commotion not only made the emperor very fond of his grandson, but also let everyone know that someone was planning to do evil to him.
In this way, if there is any trouble, people will definitely pay attention. And they themselves will take extra precautions. If they still take action under such circumstances, isn't it tantamount to throwing themselves into a trap?"
"As I expected, now is indeed not a good time to take action." Liang Jing nodded.
"Besides, we are currently working hard to secretly investigate Qingque. Compared with that newborn baby, this person is our biggest worry." The queen couldn't help but frown when she mentioned Qingque, "But so far, there has been no progress.
”
"Some time ago, someone reported that Qingque's birthplace was suspected to have been found.
It is said that he was originally a successful candidate in Xinyang. His parents are still alive and he once married a wife and had children.
The person who reported it was true, but after careful investigation, the slave found out that it was false.
The person they are talking about is now a monk in Jincheng. He looks somewhat similar to Qingque, but he is completely the same person."
"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack," the queen also knew that this matter was difficult. "After all, we can't draw pictures and transmit images or go out to sea to hunt for documents."
"My servant also wanted to start with Qingque's accent and food to find out where he was from, but he never showed his whereabouts." Liang Jing is a very careful person, but Qingque seems to be even more careful than him.<
/p>
"Now the emperor is diligent in state affairs, and both officials and people are happy to see his achievements.
If we investigate him, we will be displeased no matter who knows about it." The queen understood the power of this very well.
"Yes, your Majesty values him so much that you have no doubt that he has any selfish motives. What's more, he probably has never said anything bad about you, my concubine, in front of your majesty, otherwise the emperor would not treat you as he did before." Liang
Jing feels that this is the most brilliant place in Qingque.
He could have made people live with his words, or made people die with his words. But he always remained pure and inactive and stayed out of the matter.
If he acts like this, anyone who doubts him will be considered a villain.
But both the Queen and Liang Jing believed that there must be something wrong with this Qingque Taoist priest.
"The more he behaves like this, the more frightened I am." The queen couldn't help but sigh as she said, "The birthmark on the child also makes me feel uncomfortable."
Liang Jing understood what the queen meant. The birthmark on the emperor's eldest grandson was not just a birthmark, it was also related to destiny.
If they are serious about using this to build momentum, there will really be a large number of people following them.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. After all, they can't shake the prince yet." Liang Jing said, "I'll send people to keep a close eye on them. If they do anything unusual, we can take precautions.
In addition, the servant thought that although they had benefited a lot from these things, they had ended up with a grudge against the Ma family.
According to the temperament of the Ma family, it is impossible to let them go so lightly. Why not just let them fight, and we can watch the fire from the other side, wouldn't it be leisurely?"
"Yes, if you can let others do it, why let your own hands be stained with blood." The queen smiled, "We just keep our eyes on the six directions and our ears on all directions."
Snow fell again in the afternoon.
Xue Hengzhao passed by Hongying Corridor holding a paper umbrella and met Liang Jing head-on.
Liang Jingduan stood upright in the middle of the road, and Xue Hengzhao knew that he had something to say to him.
"What happened at the banquet," Liang Jing looked at Xue Hengzhao with a serious expression, "you were the insider from the beginning to the end."
Xue Hengzhao did not deny or evade, only said: "It is not us who want to harm others."
"Such a great and profitable strategy must have come from your hands." Liang Jing said, "Others don't know it, but I do."
"Mr. Liang, there is no need to use any more probing words." Xue Hengzhao looked across the snowy curtain, but his eyes were as steady as a rock, "You should also know, who would dare to offend the Queen's family unless they have no choice?
The ants in the building are greedy for life, let alone the prince and grandson?"
"You have to be careful," Liang Jing didn't know whether he was reminding or threatening, "More and more people are eyeing you now."
"My servant is just trying my best to be loyal. Moreover, I am only protecting myself. I don't dare to have any other thoughts." Xue Hengzhao knew that Liang Jing was beating him up.
"Remember what you promised me," Liang Jing strode past her, "give me the answer earlier."
