Chapter 148 Turkey Flavor Crispy Rice

Outside the Imperial Garden.

Jiang Jingyu was stopped by Chen Gongling.

"Your Highness, the Queen and Prince Wei Li Lingge have important matters to discuss. Outsiders are not allowed to disturb them."

"How dare you! Am I an outsider?"

As soon as Jiang Jingyu heard Li Lingge's name, he became furious.

I thought that Li Lingge was dead and the second brother had lost a great helper.

But I didn't expect that the woman in Prince Wei's Mansion was even more ruthless than Li Lingge.

Whether it was Yue brocade or storing grain, Prince Wei's Mansion was always ahead of him in everything.

Now, the guy who had been dead for three years has come back to life.

Is God blind?

The Queen actually has something important to discuss with Li Ze. What could it be?!

Soon, he heard a faint cry for help beside his ear.

That's mother's voice!
Li the thief, do you dare to assassinate the Queen? !
When this thought came to his mind, he no longer cared about anything else.

He walked around Chen Gongling who was blocking his way and was about to rush in.

However, Chen Gongling blocked his way again.

At the same time, his tone immediately became a few notches higher, as if he was deliberately speaking to the people in the Imperial Garden.

"Your Highness, you cannot go in!"

"Get lost!" Jiang Jingyu pushed Chen Gongling away and pointed in the direction of the Imperial Garden, shouting angrily, "Can't you hear the Queen yelling 'no'?"

He no longer cared about the prince's demeanor. After pushing Chen Gongling away, he ran quickly towards the imperial garden.

Can’t be wrong!
You can’t go wrong!
That was the Queen's cry for help!
The Queen Mother screamed so miserably, but these damn servants were still trying to stop her outside the door.

If the Queen was injured by the thief Li, could these people afford to sacrifice their lives?

"No, no... I will do whatever you want to do."

Soon, he heard the faint cry for help again.

The strong and overbearing Queen actually surrendered at this moment and even made such a weak and vulnerable voice.

What on earth did Li the thief do? !

At this moment, the Queen's majesty as the mother of the country in his heart was shattered.

The more anxious I became, the quicker my pace became.

"Queen!"

Soon, Jiang Jingyu saw Shen Fengyi and Li Lingge sitting upright under the pavilion.

He walked quickly forward, stared at Li Lingge and asked.

"What did you just do to the Queen?"

Li Lingge looked confused and turned to look at Shen Fengyi.

"My Queen, what did I just do?"

Hearing this question, the corners of Shen Fengyi's mouth twitched slightly.

'Don't you know what you just did?'

"Even if you don't know, I know!"

'Damn you thief Li!'

It's a pity that she can't speak at all now.

Seeing that she remained silent, Jiang Jingyu became even more worried.

"Is the Queen okay?"

At this moment, Jiang Jingyu simply thought that Shen Fengyi was being coerced, so he didn't dare to speak.

"Don't worry, Queen. I'm here. Li Zei - Li Lingge would never dare to do anything to you!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Li Lingge couldn't help but waved his finger lightly.

A vine suddenly sprouted out from under the stone table and then sank into the wide-sleeved shirt.

Gudong.

Shen Fengyi, feeling something strange, tensed up, and then seemed to have swallowed something, her face looking a little ugly.

The incident happened suddenly, and she didn't have time to spit out what was in her mouth before the prince had already walked up to her.

At this time, the prince deliberately provoked Li Zei, causing her to swallow it directly.

Shen Fengyi clenched her hands tightly, and even though her stomach was churning, she didn't dare to make any unusual movements.

You even have to pretend nothing happened and put on a smile.

"Jingyu is joking. Li Zei - Li Qing didn't do anything just now."

The words "I did nothing" were almost forced out from between the Queen's teeth.

Jiang Jingyu stared at Shen Fengyi and soon noticed something unusual.

"What is this thing at the corner of the Queen's mouth?"

Hearing this, Shen Fengyi was shocked, she was exposed!
She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, feeling a little flustered for a moment.

"This is... This is because I just felt unwell. Li Qing, Li Qing... um, gave me a bottle of medicine to drink."

Jiang Jingyu: ???

Are you taking him for a fool?

"Where did he get the medicine in this imperial garden?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingge's sleeve swept across the stone table, and bottles of pills appeared on the table.

"I have been weak since childhood, so I always carry various medicines with me."

Seeing this, Jiang Jingyu believed it most of the time, but still had some doubts.

"Why is the Queen's face so red?"

Shen Fengyi sat on the stool. It was good enough that she could control her expression at the moment and not make any strange noises.

How can I control whether my face turns red or the flowers look gorgeous?

She raised her hands to cover her cheeks, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"This palace, this palace is——"

Li Lingge put away the porcelain bottles on the table and explained in a calm tone.

"The Queen just had a fever, and the medicine she took hasn't taken effect that quickly, so her face looks rosy."

Jiang Jingyu looked around at the two people in front of him and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Prince Wei is so arrogant. He can sit still quietly when he sees me coming."

Seeing how aggressive he was and how he was acting like a prince, Li Lingge didn't tolerate him.

"Empress, may I use it?"

At this moment, he could clearly feel Shen Fengyi's delicate body trembling slightly.

But at first glance, she is still the cold and aloof queen who makes people look up to her and dare not offend her.

Shen Fengyi was about to speak when a look of fear suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Because she clearly felt that Li Zei's fingers were sliding down along her spine inside her wide-sleeved shirt.

If she hadn't had some composure, she would have collapsed by now.

If you speak, it's guaranteed to make some strange noises.

But, Li Lingge was so far away from her, how could his hand be so long? !
In order to ease the tense atmosphere between the two, she could only wave her hand and signal the prince to sit down.

In this way, Li Lingge doesn't have to get up.

Jiang Jingyu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and sat down at the stone table.

"what are you doing here?"

"I went to Ziwu Valley a few days ago. On the way back to Beijing, I bought some special snacks in a small town called turkey-flavored rice crust. I specially brought them to the Queen to try."

Seeing that Li Lingge could say this double-entendre without changing his expression or heartbeat, Shen Fengyi's face turned even redder.

Jiang Jingyu glanced at the empty table.

"Where is the rice crust you sent?"

Li Lingge had already thought of the answer to this question.

"The Queen thought it was delicious and has already finished it."

At the side, Shen Fengyi was afraid that if the prince continued to ask, she would really be exposed.

"Jingyu came to the palace...is there something going on?"

Shen Fengyi stretched out his hand and grasped the edge of the stone table tightly.

If this continues, she really won't be able to hold on any longer.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingyu turned around and looked at Shen Fengyi, who appeared to be maintaining the dignity of a queen but was actually suffering in secret.

Indicated that there are some words that Li Lingge is not suitable to hear.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fengyi had no intention of being shy at all.

"Prince Wei is not an outsider, you can say whatever you want."

Jiang Jingyu: ???

He even suspected that the Queen was confused because of the fever. When did Li Lingge no longer be considered an outsider?

"Your Majesty has issued an order in the court today to cut off trade with South Vietnam."

"Cut off the trade... Well, what does King Wei think about this?"

Shen Fengyi groaned before she finished her words, but luckily she reacted quickly and managed to smooth over her words.

However, Li Lingge saw that she was still so calm.

The fingers traced along the spine and then stopped at the Queen's coccyx.

The coccyx is the origin of the dragon and is related to the bones and meridians of the entire body.

Li Lingge simply used two fingers to exert force and pinched the coccyx.

clap clap clap!
Shen Fengyi felt her spine move unconsciously almost instantly, and at the same time, her entire spine made a series of crisp sounds.

Her eyes were misty and she looked at Li Lingge calmly, her eyes full of pleading.

"I think that Your Majesty is foreshadowing the war with South Vietnam."

Li Lingge ignored Shen Fengyi's pleas for mercy and pinched her again while speaking.

In order to prevent Jiang Jingyu from noticing anything unusual, Shen Fengyi could only lower her head slightly, and the muscles on her cheeks were trembling.

"King Wei... Siha, you are absolutely right."

Jiang Jingyu showed disdain on his face, and everyone could see it.

What he cared about was not the war between the two countries, but whether he could make another fortune in this war. In the past three years, he had been suppressed by the second brother and was very short of money.

"I have something to say to the Queen alone."

Li Lingge didn't dare to go too far, otherwise if Shen Fengyi really made a fuss, he wouldn't be able to clean it up.

He stood up and prepared to leave.

But Shen Fengyi stood up before him, her voice trembling slightly.

"I am also tired. If you have anything to say, please go back to Hanling Palace and tell me."

Seeing that she was wobbling as she walked, as if she was sick, Jiang Jingyu's doubts were completely dispelled, and he quickly stepped forward to support her.

He watched the two people go away, but his spiritual awareness was different from that of ordinary people, and he could still hear clearly what the prince said.

"Your Majesty has now stopped the trade with South Vietnam. The grain I have stored can be smuggled to South Vietnam at a high price..."

Snapped!
Even though the two people could no longer be seen, a crisp slap could still be heard in the distance.

Then, the Queen Mother's voice of disbelief was heard.

"Are you crazy?"

Li Lingge shook his head secretly and ignored the prince's suicidal behavior.

He thought that the prince was smart for once and actually knew to stockpile food.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually wanted to smuggle the stockpiled food to South Vietnam at this time.

If the two countries really went to war, selling grain to Nanyue at this time would be like an arrow shot at the soldiers of Da Chu.

Due to two years of severe drought, not only the people of South Vietnam were short of food, but the soldiers were also short of food.

Let the people suffer a little more, stop the trade, and then fight with the South Vietnamese troops stationed on the border for a while, and then we can almost win the battle without bloodshed.

The food he stockpiled was then poured into South Vietnam in large quantities after he invaded South Vietnam.

In this way, we can not only stabilize the people's hearts, but also make a lot of money.

The prince felt that the evidence he had in his hand was not enough, so he wanted to offer another one.

If food is smuggled during wartime, it can almost be regarded as treason.

Li Lingge suppressed his unnecessary thoughts, turned around and looked at a rockery not far from the pavilion, then jumped up.

Soon, a scream came from behind the rockery.

Jiang Feiyan's back was pressed against the rockery, but her throat was tightly grasped by Li Lingge.

Soon, she felt suffocated, and she could empathize with the queen just now.

Li Lingge looked at the woman in front of him carefully, and then asked in a cold voice.

"who are you?"

In fact, from the very beginning he noticed that there was someone hiding behind the rockery, and it was a woman.

I thought it was a palace maid who was peeping, so I treated it as part of the game and didn't catch her.

Anyway, he has the corpse-dissolving powder left by Yue Yinshan in his Qiankun bag, which can make any palace maid or even concubine disappear silently.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of me really looked like the emperor's concubine. She was tall and had a hint of clear tenderness in her eyes.

She has a completely different body shape and temperament from the turbulent Queen.

Jiang Feiyan's face turned pale and she pointed at her throat.

As Li Lingge's fingers loosened slightly, she was able to catch her breath.

"I am the mother of the Sixth Prince."

Jiang Cairen!
Good guy!
Li Lingge immediately let go of his hand, feeling a little regretful.

Not many people were killed in front of him, but they saw everything that happened just now.

hiss--

He took a step back and bowed.

"See you, empress."

cough cough-

Jiang Feiyan bent down slightly, coughed dryly, and took a long time to calm down.

"How did King Wei know I was here?"

Li Lingge: Can I say that I knew it from the beginning?
"I just realized it when I was about to leave."

"So, King Wei had noticed it from the beginning."

Jiang Feiyan immediately grasped the key point of Li Lingge's slightly guilty answer.

'I just realized it when I was about to leave' This is clearly a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake.

"Mother, I——"

Li Lingge wanted to argue again, but Jiang Feiyan interrupted him with a meaningful tone.

"Am I also a part of the game between Prince Wei and the Queen?"

Li Lingge: …

He did have this idea, but he didn't need to say it directly.

Jiang Feiyan promised without waiting for him to speak.

"Don't worry, King Wei. I will keep my mouth shut. I didn't see or hear anything just now."

As if she had thought of something, she spoke again immediately.

"I haven't been to the Imperial Garden today."

Li Lingge sighed inwardly, and then asked.

"Why is the queen here?"

The reason why he initially misunderstood that there was a palace maid behind the rockery was because the concubines in the harem were all served by palace maids, and it was impossible for someone to hide behind the rockery and peek.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cairen hid in the Imperial Garden alone without even a palace maid or servant. It didn't seem like she was here to stroll around the Imperial Garden, but rather like it was premeditated from the beginning.

Jiang Feiyan did not hide anything and revealed her cards directly.

"Your Majesty's health has been deteriorating over the past two years. I think there is something strange, so I want to investigate secretly."

After a slight pause, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"I didn't expect that all the confusion in my heart would be solved today."

Li Lingge blinked, wondering whether he should use some special means.

Although Jiang Feiyan promised not to tell anyone, the woman in front of her was too smart.

Moreover, as the saying goes, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

This Jiang Cairen seems to be very good at deceiving people.

thump……

However, the next moment, Jiang Feiyan knelt directly in front of him.

At the same time, he raised his hands to untie the jade belt around his waist.

Li Lingge raised his eyebrows and immediately took a step back.

"My lady, I am not Your Majesty."

Li Lingge was completely shocked by Jiang Cairen's actions.

What's happening here? !

This was the first time the two met, and Jiang Cairen was about to untie his belt.

"My lady, what are you doing?"

Jiang Feiyan's throat rolled and she looked up at Li Lingge, slightly puzzled.

"Doesn't the King of Wei like this?"

She had seen it clearly from behind the rockery just now: the Queen was outside the pavilion, kneeling in front of Prince Wei... nodding frequently.

Li Lingge: (⊙o⊙)…

Seeing that he was a little confused, Jiang Feiyan explained.

"Li'er once wrote to me saying that the King of Wei had promised to give her a white hat."

Speaking of this, Jiang Feiyan couldn't hide the smile in the corner of her eyes.

"My son still doesn't understand what the white hat that King Wei is talking about means. If you add a white on top of the word 'king', then it should be the word 'emperor'."

Jiang Feiyan looked up at Li Lingge and said softly.

"Am I right?"

Li Lingge nodded subconsciously, but what does this have to do with what is happening in front of him?
Could it be that this is a way of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude?
Seeing that he understood, Jiang Feiyan directly held his hand.

"In order to repay Prince Wei, I can do everything the Queen can do."

She just felt that His Majesty's deteriorating health might be related to the Queen.

That's why I want to hide in the dark and find out the truth.

After all, her son has not yet become the crown prince, and His Majesty cannot die too early.

Unexpectedly, today she discovered a shocking secret.

His Majesty was indeed poisoned as she had guessed, and the poison was indeed administered by the Queen.

The only thing she didn't guess was that the person behind this was actually Prince Wei, who wanted to help her son ascend to the throne.

Now, all the doubts have been resolved.

But she knew that there was no good thing in this world without reason.

So, after knowing Li Lingge's preferences, she was willing to please Jiang Li for his sake.

Li Lingge immediately withdrew his hand, took another step back, and quickly helped the other person up.

"Your Majesty is so smart, you must know that I am helping Sixth Master - I am also helping Prince Wei's Mansion, so Your Majesty does not need to do this."

Faced with such enthusiasm from Jiang Cairen, he was really at a loss.

Training the queen is one thing, but how could he bring himself to do that to the mother of his sixth junior sister?

Jiang Feiyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and it was obvious that she was relieved, but there was also a flash of disappointment in her eyes.

"In that case, if there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to ask."

"Sure." Li Lingge didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bowed slightly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

As if she had thought of something, Jiang Feiyan immediately spoke to persuade him to stay.

"Wait a minute, I have another request."

"Hmm?" Li Lingge was a little confused. "What else does the queen want to say?"

"The Dream of the Red Chamber written by Prince Wei is very interesting. Can you continue writing it?"

Looking at Jiang Feiyan's expectant eyes, Li Lingge was stunned for a moment.

"How did the queen know about the Red Mansion?"
