Chapter 45: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight

While Meng Shaoguang was waiting for Meng Boyan to come back, the days passed quietly. The friction between the four princes and the crown prince is getting bigger and bigger because of the Ruan family's case, and the court is also making life and death look at each other unpleasantly, it seems that because of the Ruan family, the-for-tat confrontation between the two hidden in the dark has been hooked to the surface, and even the ministers seem to smell a trace of unusualness.

"The fourth prince wants to turn over the case of the Ruan family seven years ago, and the young general will know." Since the seventh night of the seventh month of July, the sixth prince did not show up and left, which was the first time he set foot in the Anwang Mansion in half a month.

"See what?"

The sixth prince was stared at by Meng Shaoguang a little hairy, and looked up and down to see that there was nothing wrong with him, so he asked strangely.

Meng Shaoguang stared at the Six Princes since he came in, his face was silent, but his heart was a little strange, he always felt that the Six Princes were a little different today, as if the last time he saw him...... It's a little calmer.

Meng Shaoguang withdrew his eyes when he said this, and motioned for the sixth prince to take a walk in the Seven Star Pavilion with her, and only after lunch, she needed to take a walk.

"What happened to the six princes recently?" Although she stayed at home, she was not clear about the affairs with the capital, and the change of the six princes was beyond her expectations, after all, she did not receive any news about the six princes.

The sixth prince walked beside her and turned his face to look at her when he heard the words, and he was a little confused, "Why did the young general ask like this?" "Is there something wrong with him?

Meng Shaoguang saw that the six princes looked like they didn't know why, so he hooked his lips and felt that he might be thinking too much, turned his face to look at the sparkling lake, and said casually: "It's nothing, I just think that Your Highness seems to be a little different from the past today." ”

Hearing this, the sixth prince subconsciously glanced at Meng Shaoguang, and saw that her attention seemed to drift far away, so he quietly looked away, but he didn't pick up the conversation.

The two of them stood by the lake without saying a word, and the already dull sky suddenly thundered a few times, and the lightning of the aurora drew a bright line in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, hovering in the air for a long time.

"It's rare to have such weather in the capital." The sixth prince looked up at the cloudy sky above, his deep eyes reflected the sky with thunder and lightning, the expression on his face was light, and he didn't know what it meant with a slightly emotional tone.

Meng Shaoguang looked at the reflection of the dark clouds gathering in the sky in the lake, and suddenly smiled.

"The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and this weather is appropriate."

The sixth prince retracted his eyes and looked at Meng Shaoguang, who had a proud face beside him. His impression of Meng Shaoguang has always stayed in the Yilan Courtyard incident designed by her, but that night Meng Shaoguang was unhappy and his flirtatious behavior of disturbing in the middle of the night also made the six princes remember deeply, his words were like Meng Shaoguang, but his actions were like a grumpy child, and then he often paid attention to Meng Shaoguang's small movements, he felt that Meng Shaoguang was very contradictory, and he was wise and intelligent when calculating, and the childishness occasionally revealed was innocent.

Just like he came over at the right time, Meng Shaoguang stretched his waist with a satisfied face, squinted his eyes and frowned, like a little girl next door who didn't know anything about the world; Now talking about the situation in the capital, a simple smile makes people feel heroic, at this moment the momentum of her body will remind people of her true identity, she is Meng Shaoguang, the daughter of King An, the major general of the Nan'an Army, a general who has been on the battlefield for three years.

"The Ruan family's case was proposed by you to the four princes to be re-investigated, in order to let the battle between the prince and him come to light?" The sixth prince lost his leisure mood and began to talk about business with Meng Shaoguang.

Meng Shaoguang breathed in a slightly dull air, and the focus of his eyes staring at the lake was no longer there, as if his thoughts had already spread, but he answered the words of the six princes as usual.

"That's just one of them." Meng Shaoguang knew that the prince tried his best to cover up the Ruan family's case not because he was afraid that the emperor would blame him, but because he was afraid that he would face the Anwang Mansion in a bright and bright manner. The prince thought that the Ruan family would be annihilated in the dust if they died, but he didn't want to be stable for seven years but was turned over by the four princes, and Meng Shaoguang happened to be in the capital now, the prince not only resisted the pressure of King An's mansion, but also suspected anyone related to the Ruan family's case seven years ago, and it was no secret that the prince was suspicious.

And the four princes have secretly opposed the prince once or twice over the years, this time the Ruan family's affairs completely touched the prince's nerves, the Ruan family is a forbidden area that he has long been sealed in his memory, there were too many people involved at that time, he bought, secretly killed, and handled with his people, don't mention it, once it is also opened, there are too many loopholes that can be used to make a fuss. The crown prince has long hated the four princes, but the outbreak of the Ruan family incident The prince's attitude made Meng Shaoguang still a little surprised, and the prince is not so calm.

The sixth prince was silent, waiting for Meng Shaoguang to finish speaking, he wanted to know how deep Meng Shaoguang's calculations were, although he had already seen the case in Yilan Courtyard, he still wanted to hear what Meng Shaoguang said about the old case of the Ruan family.

Meng Shaoguang suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes regained their clarity, and he blinked and turned his face to look at the six princes, full of smiles.

"I just want to use this to give the fourth prince one thing to understand."

The sixth prince looked at Meng Shaoguang's smile and lost his mind for a moment, the smile was high-spirited and a little evil, like a child who did a prank, and couldn't wait to show it off and wanted others to praise him.

"What's the matter?" The sixth prince asked cautiously, he was afraid of disturbing Meng Shaoguang at this time, so that she would turn back into a quiet and quiet young general who had gone through the vicissitudes of life.

Meng Shaoguang picked a word out of the corner of his eyes and said: "The power of the prince was given to him by the emperor, and if he loses the emperor's heart, the prince will no longer be the prince." You need to know that too, but it's enough for you to know. ”

The sixth prince was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Why?" "Doesn't he need to do something to gain the emperor's attention and trust?

"Sandpipers and mussels compete for the benefit of fishermen." Once the case of the Ruan family is revealed, the crown prince will inevitably lose his sacred heart, and the four princes will inevitably be affected, the prince is supported by the emperor wholeheartedly, and he is his eldest son, but the fourth prince personally unveiled the mask of the eldest son who is the most filial piety in his eyes, and the emperor is bound to be unhappy. If the prince is smart, he will inevitably show weakness to win the emperor's sympathy, and the four princes will also attract the emperor's dissatisfaction, as long as the prince and the four princes remain evenly matched, when the time is ripe, as long as the eldest son is gone, the next prince will definitely not be the four princes who are not dealing with the emperor's eldest son.
