The second lady was a little afraid to look at the fourth lady: "Good daughter, I didn't give away the Jade Guanyin Buddha statue you said." ”

The fourth lady sat up from the couch suddenly: "What, you didn't give away the Buddha statue? Why can't this Buddha statue be sent away, is it possible that you are reluctant? I haven't told you how many times, I can't bear the child can't trap the wolf, why don't you listen to me?"

The second lady was beaten down by the fourth lady, and she was almost speechless, so she just waved her hand: "Daughter, I am not reluctant." I took the Buddha statue in a gold-painted sandalwood box and sent it to He Fu in person. However, that Mrs. He seemed to have changed her temperament, saying that she would not accept such a big gift, and that she didn't care about these superficial things, and that she just had a Buddha in her heart.

"Is that really what Madame He said?" the fourth lady was slightly surprised.

The second lady nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice: "Good daughter, mother, I didn't lie to you, the specific situation is really like this, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mrs. He." ”

The fourth lady pursed her lips: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, what are you going to ask Mrs. He? I'm strange, why did that Mrs. He change her sex all of a sudden, and she didn't even accept gifts, didn't she refuse to come on weekdays?"

The second lady thought for a while and said, "I was also thinking it was strange, so I secretly inquired." Listening to Mrs. He, the prince has not been in a good mood recently, and the people below are all afraid to do things, for fear that they will accidentally touch the moldy head and walk around without eating. She is also afraid of affecting her husband, so she has been staying in the house in a proper manner recently. Even leaf cards are rarely played in the house, let alone receiving gifts. ”

The fourth lady frowned: "So, she can't help with her cousin's affairs?"

The second lady was a little depressed and said, "Yes." Even she won't help, so can we still get the position of the commander of the Yulin Guard?"

The fourth lady seemed to have made up her mind: "No matter what, that location must belong to our second room, it's a big deal that the prince and I want to go!"

The second lady thought she had misheard: "Good daughter." What did you just say?"

The fourth lady glanced at the second lady, and there were some things that she really couldn't let her mother know, her big mouth. It leaked out by accident.

"Mother, don't ask, I have my own way. ”

The fourth lady combined the events of these days with the prince's lack of reaction today. I thought about it carefully. She vaguely felt that there didn't seem to be any relationship between the prince and that Gu Xiaowu. And to find out this result, she must penetrate into the heart of the prince. Didn't it mean that the prince didn't seem to be in a good mood during this time? Then she went to investigate, and by the way, shared the prince's worries and found opportunities for herself.

Although the prince lives in the palace, he has been in recent years, and there are many inconveniences in the palace, so a long time ago, the prince went to visit the emperor and the queen mother. Most of the time in his own house. And this prince's mansion, needless to say, is also heavily guarded. Not even a fly can fly in.

On this day, the prince was sitting in a pavilion in the garden, listening to the report of Shangwu, the squire of the military department: "Recently, the border has been stable, and trade has been more frequent. It's just that the general's wife suddenly fell ill some time ago and died soon after. Although the incident was not written in the military newspaper, the local government had already reported it to the emperor, and the emperor had already sent someone to pay for the funeral, and he should return to Beijing in the near future. ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little solemn: "Is there another outbreak of epidemic in the army?"

Shang Wu shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, there are often patients in the army, but it has not reached the point of death." Wei Chen thought that the general's wife herself was suffering from a hidden disease, and she suddenly fell ill, so she was caught off guard, so she couldn't be saved, right?"

"Who said that the general's wife was suddenly ill and couldn't be saved?!" a calm voice came into the pavilion, and then a middle-aged strategist who was about forty years old walked slowly into the pavilion.

The prince looked at him with a smile: "Mei Junshi, are you here?" Oh yes, what did you just say, is there anything else inside the matter of the death of the general's wife?"

Shang Wu also looked at Mei Junshi with a surprised expression. If it is said that the general's wife, He, was murdered and killed, is a person as powerful as the general willing to give up and let the murderer go? I am afraid that his elite flying flag army has already been dispatched. But the fact is that the general seems to have decided that his wife died a natural death.

Mei Junshi didn't answer, he sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, stroked his neatly trimmed goatee, and pointed at the prince with the feather fan in his hand, "Ask him Luo." ”

Shang Wu turned his head to look at the prince in amazement, and the prince was also at a loss: "Ask me, how do I know?"

Mei Junshi smiled: "Doesn't the prince know that he is also involved?"

The prince suddenly tightened his brows, and anger appeared on his face: "Who is so bold and dares to use the name of this prince to deceive, if he is found out by this prince, he will not be spared!"

Mei Junshi smiled again: "Don't be like this, the prince is willing to do this time." ”

The prince was even more confused: "What is the military advisor talking about, can you tell me the truth? ”

"Shuntianfu Yin Zhao Ziyi. Mei Junshi said these words, then looked at the prince and said, "Prince, do you remember him?"

The crown prince frowned slightly: "Didn't this person hang himself in the prison of Dali Temple? Why did the military advisor mention him for no reason?"

"Is he dead?" "If he really died, how could he appear in the border town? Besides, the general's wife did not die of some disease, but was scared to death." ”

"You mean that the original Shuntianfu Yin went to the border pass, yes" The prince vaguely understood.

In this way, the mastermind behind this matter is

Thinking of this, the prince's face changed slightly.

Mei Junshi smiled: "Actually, the whole thing, the soul of the wronged soul is also reasonable, if the general's wife He didn't do anything bad in her life, how could she be scared to death? Therefore, this is called evil retribution, good retribution." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the prince with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Prince, the person who uses you is really not simple." ”

The prince looked solemn and did not speak.

Mei Junshi continued: "No matter what, this person is a genius, if it can be used by us, then our grand cause will be like a tiger. ”

As soon as Mei Junshi's words fell, the prince said eagerly: "No, never!"

Mei Junshi raised his head: "Why not?" He glanced at the prince deeply, "Could it be that the prince is reluctant?"

The prince suddenly felt a burst of upset, and involuntarily stood up and paced.

This situation never seemed to have happened before, and there was a hint of inquiry in Mei Junshi's eyes. He thought for a while, and then said: "There is no hurry in this matter, if the prince still can't make up his mind, then you might as well go to Jiangzhou to have a look, and when the time comes, the prince will know what to do." ”

The prince frowned and looked at Mei Junshi: "What am I going to Jiangzhou for?"

Mei Junshi smiled: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed." ”

Shang Wu listened inexplicably, he felt that the two people in front of him seemed to be playing dumb riddles, and he didn't understand a word. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a report from the sergeant outside: "The fourth lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion asks to see His Royal Highness the Prince." (To be continued......)
