Zhao Mo stayed in the prince's new residence for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info when he left, he was in a relaxed and happy mood.

However, when he went out, he noticed that there was a rather strange horse in the carriage shed at the other end of the gatehouse, which looked very familiar. He couldn't help but pause at his feet, and then turned around and called his little servant Ah Shou: "Hurry up." And he went on his way.

Although the horse was only tied to the trunk of a tree, and its owner was not beside him, Zhao Mo still remembered that the owner of this horse was the commander of Jinlingwei, Huang Jincheng, who had gone south with him.

Zhao Mo had seen Huang Jincheng riding this horse out of the dock on the boat, and he was quite impressed at that time. This is the horse that Huang Jincheng brought from Tianjin, it should be his personal mount, the whole body is pitch black, and there is only a diamond-shaped white spot in the center of the eyebrows, which is very recognizable. Looking at the saddle on the horse's back, it is also familiar.

How did Huang Jincheng come here? Zhao Mo remembered that although the Huang family was an imperial family, their attitude had always been very cautious in their interactions with the clan, and unless they were ordered by the emperor, they hardly made friends with the clan, and even other imperial relatives, they had little contact, but more with the civil and military generals.

When Zhao Mo lived in Qinzhuang, he had also heard rumors that the ancestors of the Huang family had ancestral teachings, and it was forbidden for the descendants of the family to marry with the royal relatives of the clan. Because of this, when Xiao Huang and Huang Yiqiu started the idea of the uncle of Liyang Palace, it aroused Huang Jincheng's disgust and detained his niece Huang Yiqiu.

The uncle of the Liyang Royal Mansion is now recuperating in Jinling City, Huang Jin should not appear in his house, is it because the Huang family has changed their usual approach, or is there something he doesn't know about it?

Zhao Mo left the house with a lot of questions. He didn't know that just behind him, the prince was standing in front of the window of the main hall, watching his departing back from a distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The prince had a pair of blue and white porcelain jars containing Jingshan tea in his hand, he picked up one of them and looked at it, then put it down with a smile.

This pair of porcelain jars are all high-quality blue and white porcelain, which is not comparable to the cheap goods on the market. The mountain tea before the rain is even more precious in this season. The gift that Zhao Mo gave him was quite thoughtful. What's even more rare is that he asked himself that he only inadvertently mentioned that he likes to drink Jingshan tea when he met for the first time, but he didn't expect Zhao Mo to remember this clearly, and gave himself a thoughtful gift.

Tea is a small matter, and there is a junior who can be so respectful and concerned about his cousin, and take his cousin's words to heart, which really makes the prince feel warm in his heart. Although Zhao Mo's father was a little confused, it was not a big evil. However, a smart child like Zhao Mo was really unlucky to have a father like Zhao Shuo.

Huang Jincheng walked behind him lightly and asked solemnly: "Your Highness, why did you let Zhao Mo come here as a guest? Although he is not a wicked person, he is the eldest son of Zhao Shuoyan. Zhao Shuo is eyeing His Highness's position in the East Palace, aren't you worried that Zhao Mo will reveal your whereabouts to his father?"

The prince smiled slightly: "Why did Zhao Mo do this? He doesn't know who I am." ”

Huang Jincheng whispered: "Who knows if he will find out the truth......?

The smile on the prince's face faded slightly: "My little uncle won't betray me, and Brother Jian is also a good boy who knows how to measure." Do not doubt them at will, for if you let them know, will it not chill their hearts?"

Huang Jincheng bowed his head and answered.

The prince said again: "Zhao Mo, this kid...... Not the kind of person who will sue at will. Uncle taught him well, he knew what to do and what not to do. Not to mention that he doesn't know who I am right now, and even if he already knows who I am, he won't help it. You just have to rest assured!"

Huang Jincheng could only sigh and agree. But looking at his expression, he should just say yes, but he still doesn't think so.

Regarding Huang Jincheng's attitude, the prince didn't say much. The former is now tasked with protecting his whereabouts and safety, and is inevitably a little more suspicious of anyone who approaches him. Zhao Mo has such a father here, and it is not surprising that he will be suspected.

The prince said to Huang Jincheng: "Although Zhao Mo is Zhao Shuo's eldest son, in fact, Zhao Shuo hurt this son's heart and hurt him deeply. I've read the letter from my father from Beijing, and I've learned a few things, and I'm sure you've heard about it. If Zhao Shuo really enters the East Palace one day, I am afraid that he will only sit in a high position, and Zhao Mo will lose his life. The Wang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp! On the contrary, if Zhao Shuo had been the prince of Liao for a long time, Zhao Mo might have lived a long life. The boy was disappointed in his father, but he didn't want to die. He's not stupid, he won't do stupid things. ”

Huang Jincheng was surprised: "How did His Highness know this?"

The prince smiled slightly: "What's so hard to guess about this? ”

He only had this one sentence and didn't explain much. Huang Jincheng couldn't ask any further, so he could only tell his intentions: "The new news, Shangyuan County Order...... Due to the attack of poison, he did not survive and died at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Is he finally dead? can last for so many days, he is also considered fateful, but unfortunately he still did not escape after all." He paused, then asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"

Huang Jincheng shook his head: "No one has been able to catch him yet." Although traces of his passage were found in several places, no one knew where he was hiding at the moment. The prefect of Jinling has sent almost all the messengers to search around the ground under the jurisdiction of Jinling Mansion. After the death of Shangyuan County Commander, he seemed to be a little more impatient. ”

The prefect of Jinling is rumored to be a family friend of the Shangyuan County Ling family, and he will take more care of the latter on weekdays. Unexpectedly, now that Shangyuan County Ling is dead, he will still be so active in searching for the murderer's whereabouts. The servants of the prefect's yamen were basically exhausted, leaving only a few jailers and men to fill the scene. Fortunately, there is no important business recently, or a major case is fatal, otherwise it will be delayed.

Huang Jincheng commented on this: "Even the world friends have no reason to make trouble in Jinling Mansion to this point. Has the prefect forgotten that he still has the governor on his head, and that he has acted so arrogantly! He is not afraid that he will go too far and annoy the governor, and if he goes to the governor, he will be unlucky? For the sake of a junior of the world's friends who died unjustly, is it difficult for the prefect to want to put his own future on the line?"

The crown prince frowned and said, "The prefect of Jinling is indeed too selfish. No wonder when my father arranged for me to come over, he didn't inform him, but greeted the governor's yamen. I'm afraid that he will be too selfish and leak my whereabouts for some small profits. Now he still knows nothing about me, but he is no longer fit to stay in this position. If it weren't for his repeated connivance with the Shangyuan County Order, this case would not have happened. Although the Shangyuan County Order is guilty, the Jinling prefect cannot be exempted from responsibility. ”

When the crown prince wrote to his father in Jingzhong, he planned to report the matter to the emperor by the way, so that the emperor would know what kind of person the prefect of Jinling he had appointed was. He didn't know how long he would stay in Jinling, but in such a good place, there should be an honest and honest parent official to preside over the overall situation.

Huang Jincheng said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the emperor knows what to do." Whether it is the Shangyuan County Decree or the position of Jinling Prefect, there will be credible people to take over. The governor will also help us play, and return Shangyuan County as soon as possible!"

The prince sighed: "There is no need to work so hard, right? My body has healed, and it will not be long before I can return to Beijing." You also made a special report to the capital, asking my father to order two more reliable officials to take over? I am afraid that before they arrive in Jinling, I will already return to the capital. ”

Huang Jincheng hurriedly said: "How does this make it? Doctor Ye said that although His Royal Highness's condition has improved greatly and his body is much healthier than before, he is still weak after all, and he needs to recuperate for a few more years." In the meantime, it is as careful as you can, be as careful as you can, and never easily regain the disease. It's the middle of winter, and it's wind, rain, snow, and hail outside. Even if you're healed, it's not a good time to go far away. The canal is frozen and suspended, and the land route is too bumpy, what if you return to the capital after all the hard work and break your body again?"

The prince looked back at him with some tears and laughter: "My body is not so delicate, even if I return to Beijing by land, I will not fall down in the wind." ”

Huang Jincheng refused to give in: "Your Highness, please take your own safety and health as the priority, and don't take risks lightly." His Royal Highness's illness is indeed close to healing, as long as he is no longer sick this winter, and when spring begins next year, it will really rain and blue. However, after all, it is not yet the wax moon, and the midwinter is still growing, Your Highness must not take it lightly!"

Huang Jincheng insisted very much, even if he was approaching the end of the year, it was useless for the prince to return to Beijing for the New Year and reunite with his relatives. The guards around the prince are now all under his jurisdiction. It is absolutely impossible for the prince to get rid of the people around him and return to Beijing on his own. Huang Jincheng only has the prince's safety in his eyes, and for this reason, he has repeatedly insisted that he must wait until the beginning of spring next year before letting the prince and his party return to Beijing. When the time came, he said that he would have to find an excuse to take a month or two off and escort the prince all the way. This is the duty that the emperor has entrusted to him,

The prince was extremely helpless about Huang Jincheng's attitude, but he also understood that what he said made sense. It has been more than half a year since he left the capital, and even if he misses his relatives in the palace very much, he knows what to prioritize. Dr. Ye hasn't said that he can stop taking medicine, so he is still a patient. Since you are a patient, it is better not to be too reckless.

Didn't his father take a big risk and send him to Jiangnan to seek medical treatment, just to see him get better after all his illnesses? If he braved the bitter cold to return to the capital, but his body that had been cured with great difficulty was tossed and sick, would his father feel better? At that time, even if the family could be reunited, his father would not be happy.

The prince was finally persuaded by Huang Jincheng. At this moment, he began to worry about another thing: this year...... How is he going to live?
