When the prime minister heard this, he laughed angrily in his heart.

I didn't expect the emperor to even say this reason for the seventh princess, and now it's not noon, so he wants to prevaricate himself with the reason that it's late?

Seeing that the prime minister was standing motionless for a long time, the emperor's face couldn't help but change.

Could it be that something really happened to Jiang Ningning?

At this time, a secret guard came in and told the emperor that the prime minister left Beijing in a hurry in the morning and then hurriedly entered the palace.

After receiving the news, the emperor frowned, and then looked at the prime minister's resoluteness, but he still had no choice but to let people go to the seventh princess to return to the palace.

Seeing the emperor turn around and order, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he still knew the emperor after being an official in the court for so many years, he had been a good person for so many years, how could it be ruthless and decisive for a while.

Three quarters of an hour later, as soon as Meng Qiqi appeared in the imperial study, Prime Minister Jiang immediately stood in front of her and asked.

"Can the old minister ask the seventh princess if she has lost anything in the mansion recently?"

"Prime Minister Jiang's question really makes this princess very strange, it is probably a common thing for so many people in the princess's mansion to lose something, is it possible that the prime minister has any good way to teach her?"

"The seventh princess seems to have overreacted, since this is the case, the old minister will get straight to the point."

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess, I'm afraid you have already received the news about the disappearance of the old minister's daughter on the way to send off her relatives, the family in the old minister's mansion found this in the place where the little girl had an accident, and there is no clue except this, so the old minister has no choice but to hurry into the palace."

Prime Minister Jiang handed over the thing, and the emperor's first reaction when he saw this thing was to look at Meng Qiqi.

This reaction was caught by the prime minister, and he smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was sad.

"I don't know the minions on the old minister's mansion with this kind of waist card, but the old minister knows that this is the waist card of the princess's palace guard, so he asked the seventh princess to come here, and he asked just now."

Meng Qiqi laughed secretly, it turned out that Prime Minister Jiang Cheng thought that Jiang Ningning's disappearance was done by herself, no wonder she had to ask her father to summon her back, but she always felt that Prime Minister Jiang gave her a very strange feeling.

She had seen Prime Minister Jiang's face on the day Jiang Ningning was imprisoned, and his kneeling was completely for his daughter, but today Meng Qiqi couldn't feel the kind of anxiety that a father felt for his daughter.

Why did Prime Minister Jiang make this move?

Meng Qiqi took the waist card and looked at it, and found that it was broken, as if it had been put for a long time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and said: "Prime Minister Jiang originally came to his father to ask the princess for this." ”

"Although Prime Minister Jiang is very familiar with this kind of thing, he may not be clear about the defense of the princess's mansion, this kind of broken waist card has long been abandoned, and the one you took out is obviously useless for a long time, what do you say first with such a thing?"

"What Jiang Ningning did that day, the prime minister knows it, and the father knows best what his daughter has been busy with recently, so I believe that there is no need for his daughter to explain more."

If you want to deduct a pot of on your head, you have to get an ironclad evidence, and it's ridiculous to do things with something like this.

Seeing the relaxation on the face of the seventh princess, and then looking at the emperor's slightly relaxed brows, the prime minister sighed in his heart.

Do these guards really have a rule to change their waist cards at any time?

The moment he saw the note, he was angry and went directly to the palace, but now the reaction of the emperor and the seventh princess reminded him.

If someone wants to use this matter to sow discord and let the Jiang family confront the royal family, then wouldn't he and Ning Ning be manipulated and toyed with!

No, this matter needs to be examined carefully!

Prime Minister Jiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, looking up and still unrelenting, but the spearhead changed direction in his words, "The Seventh Princess just said that you have been busy with other things recently, I wonder if the old minister is fortunate to know?" ”

This Prime Minister Jiang still doubts himself?

Meng Qiqi's face sank and she was about to answer, but the emperor took over and interrupted her.

"Prime minister, don't think about it, Qiqi has been dedicated to helping me recuperate recently, and I learned a lot of medicinal snacks from the county lord to make for me."

"The emperor actually wants to take medicinal food, but he is not feeling well?"

"No, maybe I've been too busy with the imperial examination recently, so I'm a little tired. I don't know what else is going on with the prime minister? ”

Prime Minister Jiang shook his head and suddenly knelt down, "The old minister is ashamed." ”

"I didn't expect the seventh princess to be so filial, it was the old man who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the old man was even more ashamed that he couldn't help the emperor share his worries as a prime minister. Now that Ning Ning's whereabouts are unknown, the old minister has no choice but to ask the emperor for grace, since the old man is still in confinement, it is better to let Li Jing help the old minister to be the examiner of the imperial examination, he is the champion of the last imperial examination, I believe that he has this ability. ”

Meng Qiqi was shocked when he heard this, what does Prime Minister Jiang mean by this!

The emperor was not surprised at all, he just nodded and agreed easily, "The prime minister is just concerned about it now, so why be too ashamed, Li Jing's talent is known to the world, since the prime minister recommended it, I should come down, the prime minister is old and must have limited energy, so it is good to be able to use this time to cultivate in the mansion with peace of mind." ”

"In this case, the old minister will retire."

When the prime minister left, Meng Qiqi asked his father with a bitter face, "Prime Minister Jiang came to make a fuss, and finally forced Li Jing to interfere in the imperial examination, why did his father agree to him?" ”

"Qiqi, you still don't understand, the prime minister's like this means that he will no longer interfere in the government and politics in the next period of time."

"But Li Jing represents him, and he will still do things according to his wishes."

"Li Jing is a scholar, he only knows that the drill camp has never studied the way of being a minister seriously, he can't cope with it at all, Qiqi can rest assured, Prime Minister Jiang's choice now is to take the initiative to delegate power."

Seeing that his father despised Li Jing so much, Meng Qiqi was also very awkward in her heart, Li Jing in her eyes was definitely not simple, but he was hindered everywhere now, and he should not be as experienced as in his previous life.

After the emperor explained to Meng Qiqi, he asked her to rest in the palace when it was late, but Meng Qiqi was now worried about the second brother and worried about how Li Jing could stay in the palace with peace of mind, so he asked to go back to the princess's mansion.

Cui Zhi was waiting outside the imperial study, and when she saw Meng Qiqi's face not very good when she came out, her embroidered eyebrows were also tightened.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go back and talk about it."

The next day, the emperor's edict arrived at the Li family, and Yuan Yiyi stared at the eunuchs in the palace, feeling puzzled.

Why did Prime Minister Jiang Cheng obviously find the waist card of the guards of the princess's mansion, but he didn't ask Meng Qiqi for the crime, did he go to the imperial study just to retreat!

Thinking that the things he had carefully planned and planned for a long time turned out to be nothing in the end, Yuan Yiyi became more and more resentful.

Why exactly?

Before he could figure out what he had miscalculated, Yuan Yiyi found that Li Jing's eyes were full of excitement, and his body trembled a little, Brother Jing was so happy that it was definitely for Meng Qiqi!
