Zhang Heng still thought that Yang Guang's subjective assumptions were too many, and he lacked sufficient evidence and facts to support him, but it was inconvenient to tell him directly, so when he moved his mind, he asked Yang Guang: "Since there is a movement in the mind, what is the next arrangement for the prince?" Do you continue to secretly monitor Xinyi and the 'Mei's Grave Ceremony', or arrest Mei Er first, and find out from his mouth whether he has colluded with Xinyi? ”

Yang Guang shook his head and reminded Zhang Heng: "Jianping, Mr. Mei Da hasn't shown up yet, I'm afraid it's too early to close the net." I intend to send someone to closely monitor Mei Er's every move, quickly find out where the two Mei brothers live, and who they have contact with on weekdays, and then make a decision after Mei Da appears. As for the mind, Jin Cai still led someone to closely monitor her, and did not touch her for the time being. ”

"However, today, the prince patronized the 'Mei Family's Tomb Ceremony', and the lower officials were worried that it had aroused Mei Er's suspicions. If Mei Er doesn't move from now on, how should he deal with it? Zhang Heng cautiously questioned.

"Therefore, it is necessary to plan and consider the clues that are currently in the hands of the haunted in the palace, the change of mind, and Zhang Zhongjian, who is far away from Yang Chudao in Xinzhou, in order to force Guan Zi to come. Jianping, what do you think? ”

"What the prince said is extremely true. Please forgive the official for saying bluntly, the haunted in the palace recently and the intention to leave the temple and come to Xishi today is unknown, these two things do not have enough evidence to show that they are related to Nan Chen and Guan Zizai, and the only thing that can be determined at present is that Zhang Zhongjian, the killer in the 'Wild Goose's Nest', has indeed lurked beside the Duke of Qinghe. Therefore, according to the opinion of the lower officials, on the premise of strengthening the vigilance in the palace and preventing the evil ghosts from making trouble again, it seems that Zhang Zhongjian should be monitored and more clues should be found from him to find Guan Zizi. Zhang Heng plucked up his courage and suggested to Yang Guang.

"Let me correct you first, it is not some evil ghost who sneaks into the palace to cause trouble, but a wicked person." Yang Guang's mind was still immersed in excitement, and he stared at Zhang Heng dissatisfiedly, and said, "Last night, the wicked sneaked into the palace to make trouble, and today my mind suddenly disguised herself as a man and ran to the West Market for most of the day for most of the day, Jianping, can you say that this is purely a coincidence?" Moreover, the haunting of the palace was caused by Nan Chen's attempt to interfere with and prevent the imperial court from establishing two platforms in Huainan and Shannan and obstruct the plan of Ping Chen, which was a judgment made by my father based on the recent movements in the Nan Chen Dynasty, and was not my subjective assumption. ”

Zhang Heng was silent.

At this time, a sergeant sent by Li Hun to monitor Mei Er came to report that Mei Er had returned to his residence in Qinxianli, near the new capital of Chang'an.

"After being delayed here for most of the day, I will rush back to the palace immediately, and hurry up to arrange tonight's guards, so as not to let the wicked man sneak into the palace again. Jianping, about the two things of monitoring Mei Er and Xinyi, you are in charge, just keep in mind one thing, if Mei Da does not show up for a day, don't arrest Mei Er. Yang Guang saw that Zhang Heng was no longer silent, thinking that he had persuaded him, so he got up and admonished him.

Zhang Heng said his true thoughts in his heart, and was refuted by Yang Guang, although he was still unconvinced, he didn't dare to openly argue with Yang Guang, and he agreed, reminding Yang Guangdao: "Prince, you might as well handle the transfer with the prince as soon as possible, so as to fully grasp the progress of the imperial court's investigation of the 'Wild Goose's Nest' and Guan Zizai's case." ”

Yang Guang recalled the uncooperative attitude of the eldest brother outside the Linde Hall today, and responded casually, stepped down from the restaurant, and returned to Daxing Palace.

Yang Guang returned to Lanzhi Palace, and listened to Guo Yan's face-to-face report that he had led people to follow the route of the wicked man's escape last night and searched back and forth twice, except for the intermittent bloodstains on the ground, he did not find any new clues, so he instructed Guo Yan to take strict precautions tonight, beware of the wicked man going and returning, and once again forbade the palace for chaos.

After disposing of the dismissal, Yang Guang suddenly found that the Lan Zhi Palace seemed to be much colder, not only did he not see the shadow of the princess Xiao E, but he couldn't even hear the cries of the two children that he often heard.

At a glance, he saw his personal maid Se Se standing alone at the entrance of the hall, so he ordered her to enter the hall and asked, "Aren't the princess and the two babies in Lanzhi Palace?" Why does it seem that there are so many fewer people in the palace? ”

Seeing Yang Guang asking, Chow Se replied: "The princess and the two imperial grandsons have been sent by Niangniang to live in Zhengyang Palace, saying that Lanzhi Palace is not safe, and General Yuan will personally escort people from Zhengyang Palace, so as not to let people sneak in quietly." ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but turn red when he heard this, and he felt deeply remorseful for failing to prevent the wicked man from repeatedly breaking into the palace, and secretly decided: Even if he is like Guo Yan from tonight, he will go out day and night, and he will never let the wicked man have any more loopholes to exploit and sneak into the palace to make trouble.

He was sitting alone in the hall, thinking about what more effective measures should be taken to ensure the peace of the palace, when he heard two baby cries outside the hall.

"Let's go and see, is the princess back?" Yang Guang hurriedly commanded.

Sure enough, after not long ago, he followed Princess Xiao E into the palace.

Yang Guang saw that there was only the maid Green Pothos behind him holding his second son Yang Jian, and he didn't see the figure of his eldest son Yang Zhao, so he got up and asked Xiao E to sit next to him, and asked: "I just heard that the princess was not invited by the queen mother to live in Zhengyang Palace?" Why did you take Jian'er back to Lanzhi Palace again? ”

Xiao Eping retreated with the waiters and waited, and then replied: "After receiving the care of the queen mother, the concubine has ordered Chi Shao to stay in Zhengyang Palace with Zhao'er." Because he was worried about the prince in his heart, he took Jian'er back to Lanzhi Palace to live with the prince. ”

Yang Guang heard that Xiao E's words were quite vague, and there seemed to be a hidden reason that was inconvenient to say to himself, and after thinking about it, he had already guessed a little truth: most of the Yang Jian, who was born to An Ruoxi, was moved to Zhengyang Palace with Xiao E and Yang Zhao's mother and son, and Xiao E had no choice but to return to Lanzhi Palace with Xiao Yang Jian.

"Now the palace has become a dangerous place, and it's all my fault. But the princess was frightened after me. Although he guessed a little bit of the truth, Yang Guang was helpless against his mother Dugu Jialuo's favoritism, so he had to apologize to Xiao E.

"After the prince left Lanzhi Palace today, I thought about it for a long time, but I came up with an idea for the prince to prevent the palace from being haunted again." Xiao E lost the pair of golden needles given to him by Master Zhiqi on the side of the bed last night, and in addition to being horrified, he also came up with a way to prevent the haunting in the palace for his husband.

"If the princess has any good plans, please make it clear."

"No matter if he sneaked into Lanzhi Palace last night, whether it was a ghost or a human who stole the golden needle, the concubine was thinking, he sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night, what was he most afraid of?" Xiao Erchengzhu asked Yang Guangdao in his heart.

"What is it?"

"Bright. The prince thinks about whether this is the case. Those who want to do misdeeds are most afraid of being exposed to broad daylight. ”

"Not bad. Does the princess mean to use the method of spreading the lights in the palace to guard against the wicked? Yang Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared at Xiao E and asked.

Xiao Er smiled and nodded.
