Just when Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua were worried that the second prince and the Zhao family would be angry and attack the merchants, the capital was also quite lively.

After the second prince left that day, Princess Yuling pretended to be sick, and specially sent a clever chamberlain to the palace to find the imperial doctor. The chamberlain entered the palace in a panic all the way, and without opening his mouth, just that look already made people think about it, and felt that something must have happened to Princess Yuling.

Then soon rumors came out, saying that Princess Yuling had a serious illness, and she was overthinking and angry, and combined with the fact that the second prince came out of the princess's mansion, and the appearance of Qin Manting in the court, some people speculated that the second prince went to the princess's mansion to ask for the guilt and made Princess Yuling sick.

This matter is very bad, after all, no matter how arrogant Princess Yuling is, she is just a woman, and the second prince directly came to the door to ask for the crime, which is really suspected of bullying people. The civil and military officials of the court all saw it in their eyes, Qin Manting could be regarded as washing away the grievances for the eldest prince, and the second prince's troubles were too obvious.

When even someone shook his head, he felt that the second prince was still too tender and too impulsive. Some people also thought about it secretly, thinking that there was a discord between the second prince and Princess Yuling, and whether there was a handiwork from the eldest prince in this matter?

This matter is just speculation, no one dares to be sure, but in their private hearts, they are secretly vigilant, and they dare not show that they are too inclined to the second prince. After all, the origin of the eldest prince is there, although he went to such a poor place as Jiaozhou, how long has he been there? uprooted the Zheng family and became a veritable king of Jiaozhou, if you want to say that there is no means, who will believe it? As long as it's not a fool. guessed that the eldest prince would definitely not be at ease and only be the king of Jiaozhou.

More crucially, the emperor is now in the prime of life. Several little princes are also growing up, who can become the prince in the future. It's hard to say!

These people didn't dare to stand in line casually, and the situation of the second prince became even more difficult. He didn't expect that Princess Yuling, who looked well-behaved and clever, would take a bite back while he wasn't paying attention, making him carry a black pot and jump into the Yellow River and not be clean.

When the rumors first came out, he was called by the emperor to reprimand him severely, but when he went, Zhao Liya was actually there. The emperor reprimanded him in front of Zhao Liya, which really made the second prince feel embarrassed.

This matter is actually not a big deal, and all the people who know the details are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and everyone will talk about it in private at most, and they don't dare to spread it at all. The rumors that spread outside are actually deliberately released by people with intentions, and this matter is not good, but after all, the identity of the second prince is there, and there are few people who dare to spread it.

Another thing that happened in the capital. But it made people panic. The cause of this is the 'Medicinal Kitchen'. Since the Praetorian Guards found the husks of the fairy grass in the 'medicinal food workshop', the emperor has been concerned about the food safety of the people, so he specially sent people to strictly inspect the restaurants and inns. Especially the kind of shop that has a good reputation.

Shang Jinxiu's 'Yangshengtang' and 'Yipinxian' are impressively listed, there is no way, the business is really good. It's hard not to care. The person in charge of this case is none other than Qin Manting.

When searching for 'Yangshengtang' and 'Yipinxian'. Qin Manting caught two people, both of whom were trying to mix the fairy grass husks they brought into the ingredients. framed him, but the people he sent saw through it and secretly took back what the two had mixed in.

After going back, Qin Manting tied up the two and questioned them, but the two of them didn't do anything, so they bit their tongues and committed suicide. 'Yangshengtang' and 'Yipinxian' can be regarded as escaping, Qin Manting did a very beautiful job in this matter, and specially revealed it to the stewards of 'Yangshengtang' and 'Yipinxian' to know, and after the two stewards were grateful, they wrote a secret letter and sent it to Jiaozhou.

In the end, the secret letter fell into the hands of Shang Jinxiu, and Anton Hua also saw it.

Shang Jinxiu's face was very ugly, so gloomy that he could drip water, his whole body was surrounded by low pressure, and there was even a faint killing intent, An Donghua was very uneasy, and couldn't help but say: "Xiu'er, you ...... This thing is in the past, don't ......"

Shang Jinxiu turned his head and looked at him fixedly: "You should know better than me, this matter is not over at all!" "The second prince and the Zhao family now regard Anton Hua as a thorn in the flesh, but Anton Hua is in Jiaozhou, and they can't do anything. Then the merchants in the capital have become live targets and the best targets to vent their anger!

There are two such things, and unless you think of a solution once and for all, the business will never be at peace!

Seeing that she was worried, Antonhua hurriedly promised: "Xiu'er, don't worry, I won't let them succeed!" I'll take care of that, okay? ”

Shang Jinxiu didn't want to agree, she had a crazy impulse when she received the secret letter, and she couldn't wait to go directly to the capital to kill the second prince and the Zhao family. An Donghua was also worried that she would do something stupid, so he tried his best to persuade Shang Jinxiu to leave this matter to him.

It will definitely not be a good way to get rid of the second prince and the Zhao family directly, once Shang Jinxiu's ability is exposed, he will become the target of public criticism. As the so-called non-our race will have different hearts, not only the people will not accept it, but the major families will not accept it, and the emperor will not accept it!

If such a master can't control it and use it for himself, it will be the biggest threat to the emperor, and he will never sit idly by!

Shang Jinxiu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so after hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded and said, "I'll only give you a month, otherwise, I'll do it myself!" "Since she can't kill people, then she will personally go to meet the second prince and the head of the Zhao family and give them spiritual hints!

Seeing that she finally nodded, Anton Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the capital. His method is actually very simple, the merchant will be called a live target, in the final analysis, the foundation of the merchant is too shallow, and the strength is too weak. Since this is the case, he found someone strong enough to protect the business, so that the second prince and the Zhao family did not dare to act lightly against the business.

The person he was looking for was Si Nanchen. In fact, from the beginning, he had already told Si Nanchen to secretly protect the merchants, but Si Nanchen was in the dark, and now he couldn't deter the second prince and the Zhao family and let them throw into the mouse. Now, Anton Hua decided to let Si Nanchen turn to the bright place and protect the business openly.

It's just that in this way, the relationship between him and Si Nanchen's allies will also surface, making the second prince and the Zhao family, and even the emperor vigilant.

However, after Si Nanchen received the letter, he didn't have time to act in a hurry, but the Du family took the first step. The Du family didn't do anything else, but made a marriage contract with the merchant. Although it is only an engagement, it also shows the position of the Du family.

The engaged are Du Ruoxi of the Du family and Shang Jinyun of the business. The two have actually been interesting for a long time, Du Ruoxi and Shang Jinyun have also met and have affection for each other. Du Ruoxi is not as useless as rumored, he is a reckless man who only likes to dance with knives and guns, in fact, he is both civil and military, and he is much more genuine than Yin Lanting.

It's just that the Du family has always been low-key, and the family education is very strict, Du Ruoxi is usually inconspicuous, and ordinary people naturally don't know his details, when he only likes to dance with knives and guns. However, Du Ruoxi really likes to dance knives and guns, and his martial arts are very good, and he has also learned a good knife technique from a famous teacher since he was a child.

And Shang Jinyun has also learned kung fu since she was a child, and if you look closely, you will find that she is different from ordinary women, there are three points more heroic between her eyebrows, and the whole person seems to be much more vivid. When Du Ruoxi saw her for the first time, he felt that she was different from ordinary boudoir women, and when he looked closely, he noticed the true qi in Shang Jinyun's body, and his heart moved.

But at the beginning, he was curious and appreciative of Shang Jinyun, and gradually got along, and gradually liked it, and unconsciously put Shang Jinyun in his heart. Shang Jinyun learned a lot of poems and miscellaneous notes, and as soon as the two of them talked, they talked about the present and the past, and they were very deed, and their affection gradually deepened.

The merchant and the Du family are also very in favor of the two of them, but they are worried that the two are too young and undecided, so they don't dare to settle things too early, so as not to change in the future, but it is not beautiful.

As a result, the merchant was almost attacked this time and was framed, Du Ruoxi was anxious after knowing this, and went back directly to ask Du Yuzhang and Mrs. Du, wanting to set the marriage in advance.

Du Yuzhang and Mrs. Du specially asked him: "Xi'er, do you really think that the merchant's cloud girl?" No remorse? "Du Yuzhang and Mrs. Du have been harmonious since they got married, even if there are occasional small twists and turns, but the relationship between the two has always been very good. They want their children to be happy too, instead of living a life like everyone else.

Du Ruoxi nodded hurriedly, he was very nervous, he was afraid that his father and mother would not agree, so his face collapsed tightly, and he looked very serious: "Dad!" Mother! The son thought about it carefully, his son likes Yun'er, and he wants her in this life. He paused at this point, and continued, "What kind of family is the merchant, my father and mother probably know better than my son, Yun'er is also a good girl, my son thinks that if he misses her, I am afraid that he will never meet a better girl than her in this life." ”

Du Yuzhang and Mrs. Du glanced at each other when they heard this, and their faces became intriguing. Speaking of which, among the official ladies, there are really not a few who know kung fu, and they didn't expect that Shang Jinyun actually has a good kung fu, although he is young, but he has a good posture, and he will definitely become a master in time. What's more, Shang Jinyun is quick in thinking but generally not delicate, and he is still a good housekeeper, and he is indeed a good candidate for a good daughter-in-law.

So the two agreed, and sent someone to the merchant to say goodbye, and the merchant also knew that the current situation was not good, plus the Du family could stand up at this juncture, this affection was really rare, Shang Jinyun and Du Ruoxi were in love with each other, so they agreed to the marriage and chose an auspicious day to make a marriage contract.

Shang Jinxiu was relieved when he received the news. However, she didn't intend to let go of the second prince and the Zhao family just like that. (To be continued......)
