Chapter 116 Saving the Paranoid 8
But the emperor sitting in the high throne allowed all this to happen.
Murong Jing was still young and did not understand what role his father played in all this.
The emperor ascended the throne with the support of Murong Jing's mother's family.
Of course, the emperor also promised to give her the title of queen and some privileges.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he appeared to be extremely fond of the empress and her family.
In fact, he had already erected a high wall of inner defense.
Privately, he sent the imperial physician to replace the tranquilizer that the queen took daily with contraceptive medicine.
But no one expected that the queen would still be rumored to be pregnant.
Therefore, he has always felt disgusted with Murong Jing's arrival.
It is believed that the queen secretly used some means to have an heir.
Including the drama in which the queen's mother's family later discovered her rebellious intentions, the emperor also played an important role in it.
He had long been fed up with the forces at court that kept him restrained all day long.
Among them, the most powerful force is the Queen's mother's family, who are always on duty.
In the middle of the banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince fell into the water together.
Everyone was only concerned with saving the Seventh Prince, which resulted in Murong Jing drowning.
When he was rescued, he was already dying and had a fever for three days before he woke up.
At one point, the entire palace thought that the prince was going to be executed.
Even though he finally woke up, Murong Jing's body was still completely ill.
The banquet was held in public to avoid causing too much trouble.
Lingyao changed Murong Jing's clothes into that black one-piece dress.
He didn't even wear the pretty gold headbands I got for him.
Replaced it with the old one.
"Is it cold?"
Lingyao looked at Murong Jing who had just changed his clothes and came out and asked him.
There was a stove burning in the room, so it was naturally not cold.
"not cold"
Lingyao nodded in satisfaction, and reminded: "If you feel cold, circulate your inner strength."
Although his internal strength is not yet deep, it should be enough to keep warm.
After arranging everything, they went to the banquet.
The two senior palace maids walked in front, just blocking Lingyao behind.
Only Murong Jing, who was walking in front, looked back from time to time.
After being looked at coldly by Lingyao twice, he resisted the urge to look back.
There was a lively atmosphere at the banquet, and people came in one after another, sat down and chatted with each other.
The banquet is undoubtedly a good opportunity to make connections.
But no one came to the side of Prince Murong Jing.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has arrived—"
Following a shrill voice, the noisy crowd stopped shouting and knelt down in unison to salute.
"Long live my emperor."
Lingyao stood behind the pillar with her arms folded, looking coldly at the two people in the center of the hall.
The emperor sat on the main seat and the imperial concubine sat beside him.
The emperor asked everyone to excuse themselves.
When he saw Murong Jing sitting next to him, a look of obvious disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he looked away.
"Today is my beloved concubine's birthday, please be more casual."
After that, he asked about the recent situation of the princes present one by one.
He was particularly familiar with and doted on the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince made the Emperor laugh out loud several times.
It was Murong Jing's turn as the crown prince.
The emperor only said: "Jing'er is still the same as before, too silent and not good at talking."
This evaluation is extremely negative for a prince who will inherit the throne in the future.
How can a ruler of a country be too silent, and how can he not be good at talking?
Everyone looked down upon the prince even more.
The emperor left the banquet in the middle of it.
Concubine Wen glanced at Murong Jing who was sitting over there, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
He raised his hand and called a palace maid over.
