Chapter 1489 Princess Xianning: What, still watching?
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Jia Heng sat down on an embroidered cushion covered with a thin soft mattress. He reached out and held Princess Xianning's hand. He raised his head and stared at Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze talking.
Chen Ze raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and asked crisply: "Brother-in-law, how are things in the palace and the capital recently?"
Jia Heng said, "The recent succession of the throne has inevitably been treated with some caution in the capital. You just went to see your father. What did your father say?"
"My father was very ill. I asked him a few questions and he let me out." Chen Ze said in a low voice with a sad look on his face.
Obviously, in the eyes of the eighth prince, his feelings for Emperor Chongping are deeper.
Imperial Concubine Duanrong smiled as brightly as the peach blossoms in February, and consoled her: "Your father is recovering from illness now. When he recovers, it won't be too late for you to come and pay your respects."
Jia Heng turned his head to look at Concubine Duanrong. The beauty's face was as white as snow, and her temperament was graceful and beautiful. He asked, "Your Majesty, how is the Queen doing recently?"
Concubine Duanrong's jade-like face suddenly turned gloomy. She pursed her rosy lips and said angrily, "I don't know the situation over there either. The inner guards have been strictly forbidden to enter or leave these days, and I am too lazy to argue with them."
The beauty spoke softly, with a hint of grievance in her voice, as if she was complaining to her lover.
This undoubtedly makes this graceful, beautiful and charming woman more cute and coquettish like a little girl.
In particular, the beauty has a voluptuous figure, exquisite and graceful curves, and a bright and beautiful face that is plump and chubby with deep ravines. When you glance at her from afar, your eyes seem to fall into the vast mountains and rivers.
That kind of fullness and brightness makes people almost unable to stop.
Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, and Wen Xu's eyes were stunned for a moment, then he quickly moved away from the slightly frightened gaze.
This is different from a sweet girl, this is really kissing the mother-in-law, don't look at it without permission.
At this moment, Princess Xianning seemed to be feeling inexplicably ashamed and angry. When she noticed the look in the eyes of the young man in the python robe, she couldn't help but pull Jia Heng's hand.
What, still watching?
Just like the scene in which Zhang Yang watched Yuan Hua watching Qiu Ya taking a bath, songs would ring in his ears from time to time, and then be interrupted by Zhang Yang's spell.
Jia Heng calmed himself down and said, "These inner guards are just following orders, and they shouldn't be rude to the queen."
The voice of Concubine Duanrong, as cold as the sound of a mountain spring, seemed to carry a hint of coldness, and her beautiful face, flushed as if drunk, seemed to have regained her graceful and beautiful state. She snorted coldly and said, "I don't think they dare!"
Jia Heng stared at the beautiful woman who suddenly had a cold and elegant temperament, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes under his sword-like eyebrows.
The beauty really has a variety of temperaments that can make people's hearts sway.
At this moment, Xianning had already pinched the boy's hand until it turned red, and glared at him angrily with her beautiful eyes.
Seems endless?
Princess Xianning had no choice but to change the subject and draw attention back to herself. She raised her beautiful and plump face, chuckled, and said, "Sir, I want to go to my aunt's house to wait for the birth of my baby."
Jia Heng was surprised and said, "You are so busy here, why do you want to go over there? Besides, it is much more convenient to give birth here."
Concubine Duanrong said, "The atmosphere in the palace doesn't look good, so it would be a good idea to let Xianning go to Jinyang Mansion."
Jia Heng turned to look at Princess Xianning, his eyes full of endless pity, and said softly: "Then I'll take you there later."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he turned to look at the plump and elegant Consort Duanrong and said, "Your Majesty, I will send Xianning back."
Imperial Concubine Duanrong warned, "You and Xianning, be careful on the road. I'll ask a nanny to accompany you."
Jia Heng responded softly, and said nothing more. After the nanny and the palace maids cleaned up, he escorted Princess Xianning out of the palace.
Because Princess Xianning was pregnant, the inner guards did not stop her, but watched her leave.

Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, Inner Study
"Cough cough..."
Heavy coughing sounds continued, and a strong herbal smell and aroma rose up and filled the room.
Emperor Chongping was lying quietly on a soft couch covered with a mat next to the window, with a quilt covering him. The quilt shook as he coughed, and his whole body seemed to exude a pale and dying aura.
At this moment, a young eunuch with a white face and no beard tiptoed around the screen and came into the hall. He came to Dai Quan who was standing beside the screen and whispered something in his ear.
"What's wrong, Dai Quan?" Emperor Chongping asked after coughing violently a few times.
Dai Quan straightened his face and reported, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Wei has entered the palace."
"Oh?" Emperor Chongping looked surprised, as if he was a little confused.
Dai Quan weighed his words carefully and said, "Yesterday, Jinyi Commander Qiu Liang was assassinated. It was a close call, but it still caused quite a stir."
"Qiu Liang was assassinated?" Emperor Chongping's originally casual voice now carried a hint of seriousness.
At this moment, the emperor used his brain power to the maximum, thinking about the reason.
But after all, he was running out of energy and was a little confused for a moment, so he asked, "Does the cabinet suspect that Zi Yu did it?"
At this time, the cabinet was mainly on guard against Zi Yu.
Dai Quan said, “Your Majesty, the details of this matter have not yet been elaborated.”
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and with a hint of certainty in his old and weak voice, he said, "Zi Yu would not touch Qiu Liang, and Zi Yu would not use such an assassination method, and... let Qiu Liang escape."
In other words, such a low-level mistake was simply not something that Jia Heng, who was always good at planning and resourceful, could do.
But that's just how things are in the world, real and fake, true and false.
"Let someone ask the cabinet what is going on." Emperor Chongping was silent for a while and said in a deep voice.
Dai Quan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will ask someone to ask the cabinet right away."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and ask. This matter is most likely done by Zhao Wang's son Chen Yuan. He eliminated the Jinyi commander and caused chaos in the court so that he could fish in troubled waters. They really have evil intentions and deserve death!"
At this moment, the inferences of Emperor Chongping and Gao Zhongping were basically the same.
Because Jia Heng had no motive to act in this way at all, and would never resort to such despicable means as assassination.
Of course, no one had expected that Jia Heng planned to silence the witness because of the incident of sending the Queen away.
Dai Quan listened to Emperor Chongping's speculation and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine at Funing Palace said that Princess Xianning is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to travel on weekdays. She has moved Princess Xianning to the Jinyang Princess's Mansion to wait for the birth of her child."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "The inner guards of Funing Palace can relax the palace ban at an appropriate time and allow them to enter and leave freely."
Now the imperial edict has been issued and announced to the whole country and abroad. All civil and military officials know who will be the emperor's successor. The status is set, so there will be no unexpected problems.
However, Zi Tong probably still has some resentment in his heart, so let's just leave time to resolve it.
He really wanted to pass the throne to the King of Wei, but the King of Wei had no son. Whether the throne was passed to his younger brother or adopted from a side branch, no one knew how much political turmoil it would cause.
It would be better if he could be the evil one.
Dai Quan nodded in response, stared at Emperor Chongping lying on the bed, sighed in his heart, and said, "Then I will tell someone to take care of this matter right away."
Emperor Chongping's cheeks were sunken and his mood was gloomy. He seemed to sigh softly.
Emperors in ancient times were mostly lonely and isolated, like this.

Jinyang Princess Palace
A glazed carriage slowly stopped at the residence of Princess Jinyang. With the help of several maids, Princess Xianning got off the carriage with her big belly. There seemed to be a faint blush on both sides of the beautiful face. Under the warm winter sunlight, her breasts were plump, white and rosy, and quite beautiful.
In the backyard, in the hall——
Princess Jinyang heard that Jia Heng and Princess Xianning were coming together, so she went out to the hall with Li Chanyue and Song Yan to greet them. She looked at Jia Heng with a reproachful look and said, "Xianning is pregnant, why did she come here?"
Jia Heng explained, "Something happened in the palace recently. I discussed it with Concubine Rong and decided to bring Xianning out."
Princess Xianning smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling slightly, and said, "Aunt, it's quieter here, which is more suitable for your pregnancy."
To save someone from entering Funing Palace from time to time and peeking at her mother, hum...
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes were crystal clear under her curved eyebrows. She pursed her soft pink lips and said in a delicate voice, "That's fine. We have all kinds of servants in the mansion. It would be fine if you come over here to wait for the birth of your baby, Xianning."
At this moment, Li Chanyue and Song Yan came forward, supported Princess Xianning's arms, and then helped her sit down on the soft couch covered with a soft mattress.
As she spoke, Princess Jinyang turned around and instructed Fu Qiufang, who was standing beside her, "Go clear out the room in the east wing, and send a careful and clever maid to wait there."
Fu Qiufang replied softly with a "yes", took a deep look at the stern-faced young man in the python robe, and without saying anything more, turned and left.
Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked her to serve the Prince of Wei as well, and she didn’t know what to do.
Ever since her brother sent her to the Princess's residence, she has become more familiar with the Prince of Wei's style of doing things.
Although he is a man of extraordinary talent, he is also extremely dissolute and can hardly be considered a gentleman.
Jia Heng helped Princess Xianning to sit down, picked up the fragrant tea served by the servant, and took a sip.
Princess Jinyang said, "I heard from Xiahou Ying that Jinyifu commander Qiu Liang was assassinated and the cabinet summoned you. Do you know what happened?"
Jia Heng put down the teacup and said, "It's just a routine question. In fact, it's also a test to see if I sent someone to assassinate Qiu Liang."
"Why did you assassinate Qiu Liang? Do you need to assassinate a small Jinyi commander?" Princess Jinyang paused for a moment with her beautiful and bright face, and said in surprise.
Jia Heng said: "Yes, why would I send someone to assassinate him?"
It is not necessary, but Qiu Liang is investigating Tianniu's Lei, and has touched his core secrets.
Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she keenly caught the expression on the face of the young man in the python robe. She seemed to understand something and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's getting late, and it's time to have dinner."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Last time he wanted to try Chanyue's cooking, so I think he'll be able to have a taste of it this time."
As he spoke, he looked at Chanyue and Song Yan, and met two beautiful faces.
Chanyue and Song Yan are both beautiful, wealthy and fair-skinned. One has eyebrows like willow leaves and eyes like the autumn moon, while the other has dark eyebrows, a dark complexion and fair skin.
Li Chanyue seemed a little shy, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Xiao Jia, I haven't done it for a long time, and my skills are rusty."
Jia Heng said, "I'll try it later."
On the other side, Song Yan looked at the young man in python robe with her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Brother Heng, I also cooked two side dishes. Brother Heng, come and have a taste later."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then let me guess which dish you cooked later."
Princess Jinyang's charming eyes showed shame and anger, and she said unhappily, "Guess who it is again?"
Jia Heng: "..."
Jinyang, we still have to eat later, why are you talking about this for no reason?
Princess Jinyang glanced at Jia Heng, snorted, and said, "Let's sit down and have dinner together."
As they were talking, everyone sat down around a tall table and started to eat.
Princess Jinyang put down her chopsticks, turned her eyes to look at Jia Heng, and said softly, "There has been some unpleasant news in the capital these past few days."
"Something is wrong. Wait, I'll tell you in detail tonight." Jia Heng said softly, holding the beautiful woman's slender hand.
Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were curved like black ink. She squinted at Jia Heng and said angrily, "The child is still here, don't touch him here."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment. He looked at Li Chanyue and Song Yan, who were acting like good girls and eating their meals with their heads down. He felt a little strange.
Now that you mention it, they really are two little kids.
Jia Heng casually changed the subject and asked, "Where's Jie'er? Why can't I see him now?"
Princess Jinyang said, "Jie'er felt a little unwell and went to bed early."
Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and asked with concern: "What's wrong with him?"
This is his eldest son, the fruit and witness of his love with Jinyang. He also has many expectations for the future.
"I have already asked the imperial physician, and it seems that there is nothing wrong." Princess Jinyang said softly under her beautiful eyebrows, "I am more concerned about it than you are."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go see him later."
After having dinner with Princess Jinyang, everyone dispersed. Jia Heng took Princess Jinyang's slender hand, walked into the side room, and sat on the bed.
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes sparkled slightly under her dark eyebrows. She asked softly, "What happened to Qiu Liang today?"
It was obvious that the beauty was extremely intelligent, or perhaps the couple had long been in tune with each other, and she had discovered some clues from Jia Heng's suspicious behavior just now.
Jia Heng said: "Xiao Xiao sent someone to assassinate him."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
"Why would Xiaoxiao assassinate him for no reason?" Princess Jinyang was slightly shocked and asked in surprise.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing coldly, and said, "Because Qiu Liang found out about my relationship with Kunning Palace."
Princess Jinyang: “???”
This……
The investigation has even reached the Kunning Palace, so this man’s affair with the Emperor’s sister-in-law was almost exposed, right?
Princess Jinyang pinched Jia Heng and said in a reproachful tone, "You did a bad thing. I warned you from the beginning not to go after the wrong people."
Jia Heng complained: "You can't blame me, this is all fate's trick, it's destined."
His ill-fated relationship with the sweet girl was actually destined from the very beginning.
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes flashed a dangerous light under her slender eyebrows, and she said in a sarcastic tone: "From what you said, this is still the destined fate? I have delayed you, right?"
Hearing this, Jia Heng was somewhat speechless. He put his hand around the beauty's shoulder, pinched her plumpness, and said, "Why, are you still jealous of her?"
Princess Jinyang's face, as white as snow, turned red with shame. She snorted and said unhappily, "What are you talking about being jealous about? Only you can do such a ridiculous thing."
I really don't know how to describe him.
How could he do such a dangerous thing? Once it is exposed, no matter how many merits he has, it will not be enough to make up for his death.
The problem is, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but she didn't have twins...
Jia Heng looked deeply at me from beneath his sword-like brows. He sighed and said, "Fate plays tricks on us. Others may not know it, but don't you know it?"
Princess Jinyang looked at the young man in the python robe with a warm gaze under her dark eyebrows and said, "You should be careful and not let any news leak out. I think Qiu Liang has begun to suspect him."
Jia Heng reached into the beautiful woman's clothes and felt her flesh was full and soft, flowing between his fingers. He whispered, "I think so too."
Princess Jinyang frowned, biting her lips with her pearly teeth, and said, "But for this kind of thing, as long as he is not caught in bed, he will not reveal a single word. Otherwise, he will be the first to bear the wrath of the palace."
Jia Heng said, "I'm just afraid that he will associate Zhen Qing and the twins with something in common."
This is not impossible, because there are not so many twins, boy and girl, in the world.
Qiu Liang is now like a mad dog biting people everywhere. He will pursue any clues relentlessly, and the twins are his clue.
Princess Jinyang said, "That's a possibility. After all, boy-and-girl twins are very rare. Although we could say they were all royal blood and like father, like son, there's no guarantee they won't be noticed by someone with ulterior motives."
Jia Heng looked thoughtful, turned his head to look at Princess Jinyang, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to bed early."
Princess Jinyang curved her eyebrows, snorted, and said, "I haven't talked about you yet, you are really making a fuss."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, too."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
However, she really wanted a daughter. Although she had witnessed Chanyue's growth, she did not have a daughter of her own.
It was late at night, the moon was high in the sky, the moonlight was like a veil and mist, covering the entire courtyard. The plum trees in the courtyard were in full bloom, the cold stamens were fragrant, butterflies were hard to come, and the winter of the nineteenth year of Chongping was slowly passing.
