My enemies became my companions

Chapter 327: Vision in the Palace
"I don't agree, I don't agree!"

King Jing waved his hand fiercely, and the golden Buddha Jumping Soup that had just been served in front of him fell to the ground with a bang, and the ground was covered with fragments and soup.

Huang Bao knelt down hurriedly and said:
"Your Highness, calm down. Your Highness, don't be angry. After all, this birthday is as blessed as the East Sea and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains. This day will come every year."

After hearing this, King Jing's neck stagnated again, and he slapped the bed heavily, angrily saying: "What birthday? What do you mean by 'this day comes every year?'"

"I was wrong. Years have never been like this day, and years have never been like this day!"

"You damned me, you slave dog!"

King Jing jumped up from the bed, picked up something and chased Huang Bao to beat him.

Huang Bao jumped around in the room, from here to there, protecting his head as he jumped, and the whole bedroom was in chaos.

At this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

King Jing stopped and realized that the princess had arrived. He sat back on the bed and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and as expected, the princess walked in. At first, King Jing was ready to breathe a sigh of relief so as not to make the princess worry, but when he saw the person who followed the princess in, he held back his breath.

"It's you, the one with the surname Chen!"

King Jing spat out the name with gritted teeth.

Chen Yi looked at King Jing, shrugged, and then said, "Prince, no, I should call him father-in-law."

"you you you!"

King Jing was so angry that he couldn't utter the words he wanted to curse. All the words were stuck in his throat, making a gurgling sound.

The princess went up to him and hurriedly advised, "Alright, alright, this Captain Chen is bad, this Captain Chen is a beast, he has done all kinds of evil, Queen Wei Ying will curse him to death for you, calm down, calm down."

"Hmph!" Prince Jing was silent for a long while, then looking at the princess' concerned face, he finally snorted coldly.

The princess stayed for a while, and when she saw that King Jing had calmed down a bit, she said something nice:

"Everyone at the poetry meeting praised the reputation of the palace. Two girls married one man, and all grudges were forgotten with a smile. What's more, Wei Ying also took a fancy to him and chose him as his golden boy. You also know that Taihua Mountain values ​​jade girls over golden boys, so this time, he is actually married into the palace and becomes a son-in-law."

After a series of nice words, King Jing's anger slowly subsided, and he rolled up his sleeves and sat down.

He didn't look at the princess either, but turned to look at the wall, breathing in and out for a long time.

Chen Yi stood where he was, and when he came in and saw that Prince Jing was in a tantrum, he was mentally prepared, because when the princess brought him in earlier, she had said a lot of things, namely, "The prince was just extremely angry at the moment" and so on.

"Why is it such a mess here? Huang Bao, clean it up." After seeing that King Jing had calmed down, the princess said to Huang Bao.

"Okay." Huang Bao responded and quickly squatted down to clean up. His hands and feet were nimble and quick, and soon all the debris on the ground was picked up. He then used his clothes to wipe up all the soup on the ground.

After a while, he retreated, and Chen Yi recognized that he was the eunuch servant who had taken three taels of silver from him outside the door.

The princess stretched out her hand and gestured, "Sit down, sit down."

When King Jing saw Chen Yi coming over, he became unhappy when he heard what the princess said, and shouted, "Since he is considered a son-in-law, why should he sit down when I sit down?!"

"Then lie down."

"…oh."

King Jing didn't understand what was going on and responded subconsciously. The princess then pressed his shoulders and made him lie down.

Chen Yi also sat on the chair, which had a thick texture and a faint scent of sandalwood.

King Jing stared at Chen Yi, and even after he calmed down, he still wanted to eat him alive.

But it was useless to just look at it, because the thing had already been done. What's more, King Jing expressed his consent to the marriage in front of everyone. Thinking back on it, King Jing regretted it so much.

King Jing gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Wei Ying is really blind, and so is God. What fate is this? Tomorrow I will send people to tear down every Taoist temple in Beijing! Wei Ying is really... stupid! A fool!" He cursed her in a series of expressions of disappointment, then took two breaths, and then took another breath. After a while, King Jing suddenly turned to look at the princess and asked, "Do they get along well? Does Wei Ying really like him?"

"Okay, okay. Qinglan saw them staying by the lake and enjoying the snow. Qinglan also said that the young lady was very happy when she returned to her boudoir."

No matter how open-minded the Jing Palace is towards their children, they would not allow their children to be entrusted to the wrong person, so when Yin Weiying and the other two were visiting the garden, the princess sent a personal maid to follow them from a distance and report everything.

After hearing the princess's reply, King Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Things had come to this point and no matter how hard it was to accept, there was no turning back, even though King Jing was still angry.

It took him a long time to finally calm down.

Chen Yi looked at him and said:
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so angry. Even if I do not ask for your hand in marriage today, the Queen Mother will be the one to grant me your daughter as my wife in the future."

King Jing raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What do you mean?"

The princess looked at King Jing and continued:
"Do you remember the last time I went to the palace? The Queen Mother wanted to discuss with me about letting the daughter of Prince Xiang be adopted into our family, and then she could be made a princess." "A princess can only be made a princess after she gets married..." King Jing pondered for a moment, then reacted and pointed at Chen Yi and said, "Him?"

The princess nodded, and then said:
"Moreover, Captain Chen will be granted the title of Marquis in the near future, so even if it is from a mundane perspective, if Wei Ying marries him as the Marquis's wife, it will also bring honor to our palace."

Dayu has three ranks of nobility: Duke, Marquis, and Earl. No one can be conferred without military merit for the country, and no title can be given without special decree. As for the title of Duke, except for those inherited from the founding duke, one needs to have military merit in a major battle, so to be granted the title of marquis is already a rare talent.

So what the princess said was right. Not to mention that it would bring honor to the family for the eldest daughter to marry into the marquis's mansion, even when the princesses were choosing their prince consorts, they would often choose the marquis.

After hearing this, King Jing's anger had almost subsided, but he still had a lot of questions, so he said:
"So... the legitimate second daughter that Wei Ying mentioned is the daughter of King Xiang?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you have any impression of it?"

King Jing tried hard to recall, then shook his head and said, "I don't have any impression."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Chen Yi frowned.

How is this going?

According to the little fox, she had met King Jing and the princess, but why did the princess and King Jing have no impression of her?

Chen Yi rushed to the poetry meeting at Prince Jing's mansion, not only to meet the prince and princess, but also because he wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Yin Weiying.

Now I see that I have come to the right place.

And according to the little fox's dream, King Jing seemed to be involved in the resurrection of the previous emperor.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and then asked directly:

"Does King Jing know about the case of the Prime Minister?"

When those three words came out, King Jing's hair stood on end. He got up and stared at Chen Yi.

Seeing his alert look, Chen Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous? I have been investigating this case for so long, I already know everything."

"Then what do you know?" King Jing asked tentatively.

"The Queen Mother's sudden death in Chunbo Temple was caused by the late Emperor, and Your Majesty, you are also...inseparable from the responsibility."

Chen Yi said slowly.

He had already investigated the case of the Prime Minister in his previous life, and almost all the members who were directly involved in the case had already been beheaded.

Except Prince Jing and Lord Lin.

As for the reason why Lord Lin is still alive, it is firstly because he only reported that Prime Minister Zhang privately kept the secret of immortality, and secondly because he is also keen on esoteric cultivation and is a fellow practitioner of the late emperor.

As for why King Jing is still alive, it is because he is the late emperor's brother after all, and the reason why the Queen Mother went to Chunbo Temple was also his doing.

King Jing's arm trembled for a long time, and he said coldly: "So what if you know?"

"I just want to ask, have there been any strange phenomena in the mansion in the years since the Prime Minister's case?" Chen Yi asked indifferently.

The matter involved the mystery of Yin Weiying and his own departure from Beijing. Chen Yi had to investigate it carefully, otherwise, he would find it difficult to leave Beijing. Even after leaving Beijing, Yin Weiying might encounter an unexpected accident.

After hearing Chen Yi's words, King Jing thought about it subconsciously and came up with something, but when he saw that it was Chen Yi, he didn't want to speak.

Seeing this, Chen Yi sighed and said:

"No matter what happened in the past, you and I are still father-in-law and son-in-law. Why do we have to make things so awkward?"

After hearing this, King Jing hesitated for a long time and then said:
"Okay, there is indeed one thing, I don't know if it can be considered a strange phenomenon, that is, when I walked to the back mountain, I always felt uneasy for some reason. I asked Taoist priests and monks to take a look, and Yu Zhen Yuanjun also took a look at it at my request, but they all found nothing."

"Back mountain..." Chen Yi nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to ask some more questions, there was a knock on the door.

"Mother, Father, Mother, Father!"

The princess quickly got up and opened the door, and Chen Yi saw the eldest prince throwing himself into the princess' arms. The child, who was less than ten years old, had tears in his eyes and was making a lot of noise. The princess kept coaxing him, and the bedroom suddenly became noisy.

King Jing rubbed his brows tiredly, sighed, and lay down.

The princess looked at Chen Yi apologetically and asked him to leave. Chen Yi did not stay any longer and stood up and left.

When leaving, Wang Changzi turned his eyes and glanced deeply at Chen Yi.

Noticing this scene out of the corner of his eye, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

How come the eldest prince of the king happened to appear at this critical moment?
