Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Game

The Cangzhou enclosure is full of turmoil in the capital today, and Princess Xiuwen is just involved, and she can't be regarded as the mastermind, but now she is carrying most of the black pot, and she is quite wronged.

Cangzhou Prefecture Pastor Chen Youshen is a friend of Princess Xiuwen's deceased husband, and gave Princess Xiuwen a horse farm in Cangzhou as a gift, and asked her to walk around the capital more. After her connection, Chen Youshen and the three princes moved around very frequently, and it is unknown how much benefit the three princes got from Chen Youshen.

The matter of enclosure has been exposed, and Emperor Zhou was furious and sent a messenger to investigate the matter. After the Qincha stepped into the border of Cangzhou, he received many obstacles from the local gentry, but with an unprecedentedly tough attitude, he investigated clearly at this time, and killed a few people who took the lead in making trouble before returning to Beijing to resume his life.

As soon as Chen Youshen was arrested and brought to the capital, he shouted that he was wronged, and kept shouting that this matter was all instigated by the third prince, and he was just acting on orders, and for a while, in order to cooperate with the investigation of the matter, the third prince was also under house arrest in his own mansion like the second prince, and was not allowed to see any outsiders.

When the news came, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling were playing against each other, she was eaten a large piece, it was when she was depressed, Yang Xing handed Zhao Ling the secret report he had recently obtained, and then glanced at the chessboard, and said with a smile: "The prince has not met someone who can meet an opponent in chess for a long time, Miss Jiang is worthy of being a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, she is very powerful, the prince has found a good chess friend, and he will not be lonely in the future!" ”

After Zhao Ling finished reading the things in his hand, he raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Xing, and said lightly: "I don't see you talking so much on weekdays!" ”

"The subordinates just tell the truth!" Yang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Although many people didn't understand that Shizi's choice of Miss Jiang at the beginning, Miss Jiang used her strength to prove that she and Shizi were a natural pair!" ”

Zhao Ling handed the secret report to Jiang Xiaoyu, and said slowly: "Yang Xing, you said something wrong!" ”

"Huh? What did the subordinate say wrong? ”

"It's not this son who chooses Miss Jiang, it's Miss Jiang who chooses this son!" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, but at the same time, he was merciless in his hand, and sealed Jiang Xiaoyu's chess piece.

"Three days! Don't you think it's strange? Don't you think it's strange that Lord Chincha, even though he has great powers, has only taken three days to investigate such a shocking, complex, and wide-ranging case? Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the contents of the secret report and said suspiciously, "If Chen Youshen did collude with the Third Prince, then the Third Princes would be his lifesaver, would he choose to pull the Third Princes into the water at this time?" ”

"It's weird, what do you think?" Zhao Ling held a black chess piece in his hand and gently cocked it on the table, urging Jiang Xiaoyu to land as soon as possible.

"Since the previous dynasty, it began to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and the aristocratic enclosure was expressly forbidden, but in private it was repeatedly prohibited, Your Majesty wanted to take this opportunity to kill the chickens and monkeys, and completely eradicate the disadvantages of the enclosure, the evidence was collected so quickly, and the trial process did not meet the norms, but it was outrageous in terms of efficiency, in addition to the support of His Majesty, Qin Cha must not have the courage to do so, if His Majesty wants to deal with this matter by iron-blooded means, then it is necessary to secretly investigate behind the back of Chiyan, so that everything is logical, Come to think of it, the third prince hit the knife edge this time! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu frowned, and said: "True and false, sometimes false and true, Chen Youshen biting the three princes at this moment will make people feel that the three princes are innocent, but it is conducive to public opinion to favor the three princes, as long as there is no tangible evidence at that time, the three princes will not be investigated." And on the contrary, some people will suspect that there is some connection between Chen Youshen and the second prince! ”

"That's a good point!" Zhao Ling looked at the chessboard and thought about how to make the next move, and said, "This is exactly the cleverness of the third prince, but he has always acted cautiously, and he shouldn't let us catch any tricks, and Chen Youshen is just an outcast!" ”

"So, what about Princess Xiuwen?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.

Zhao Ling's action to fall down paused before falling, and he was silent for a while and said: "My aunt will not retreat this time, I said earlier, the sooner I let my aunt stay away from the capital, the better!" Although she will be implicated, the Queen Mother loves her, and there will be no unacceptable consequences! ”

"Do you want Princess Xiuwen to stay away from the capital, does it have anything to do with me?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"It's not a matter for my aunt to see her wife unpleasantly, let her stay away from us for the time being, and when the misunderstanding is solved in the future, it will not be too late to get closer, so that no one will be harmed!" Zhao Ling said, "You don't have to fight the trapped beast anymore, if you don't take three steps, you will definitely lose!" ”

"What about the second prince? How did Jiang Shuai investigate the matter of the bandits? Jiang Xiaoyu asked, looking at the chessboard but not falling for a long time, frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

Zhao Ling raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said: "It's really a little strange to say, I thought that all those bandits were exterminated, but I was able to find out their identities, but I couldn't find out if they had any behind-the-scenes masterminds, but the day before yesterday, a living mouth was sent outside the Xiaoqi camp, do you think this matter is strange?" Two months ago, when I was preparing to deal with the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, someone dug up the bodies of those young children who had been killed, and I don't know who was secretly assisting us behind the scenes! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and dropped a son: "Really?" And this kind of thing! ”

"Do you think this person is helping the second prince or is he helping me?" Zhao Ling stared at Jiang Xiaoyu and asked suspiciously.

"It's not going to go, I'm not interested in losing three sets in a row!" Jiang Xiaoyu got up and said, "I'm going back!" ”

Although the court situation is in turmoil, the palace of the Queen Mother is still as calm as ever. Su Xuan has been living in Fengxi Palace for a few days, but she lives in a panic every day, afraid that Zhao Ye will appear at any time, and the fear in her heart does not dare to explain it to the Queen Mother, even the palace maid next to her knows that it is Zhao Ye's person, and she doesn't dare to find an excuse to send it away, and she is a lot haggard when she sees it.

The Queen Mother saw that she was not in good spirits, so she found a royal doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but she was too worried and needed to recuperate.

The queen mother thought that she was anxious because of the delay in the marriage with Zhao Ling, and persuaded: "Recently, Jingzhong is not very peaceful, and now the timing of marriage is not very good. If you don't have anyone in the palace to say intimate words, just go out of the palace and stay for a few days! ”

Su Xuan resigned from the queen mother and went to live with Ma Rulan for a few days, and only heard about what happened recently from her mouth, and heard that the third prince was under house arrest, and she was immediately relieved, but although she was worried in her heart, she was not good at telling Rulan about it, so she had to be depressed.

Zhao Ye is right, this matter is categorically unable to tell his father, if his father knows, in order not to offend him, and for the position of the concubine, he will definitely let himself marry Zhao Ye, if it falls into Zhao Ye's hands, she doesn't know what to do in the second half of her life, it is better to live alone, after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that this matter has to be in the presence of Brother Ling, if it is...... If Brother Ling could take the initiative to ask for a marriage and propose marriage before Zhao Ye, Zhao Ye would definitely not dare to openly ask his brother to rob his wife.

However, there was a sadness in her heart, but Brother Ling now has no use for himself in his heart, only Jiang Xiaoyu, will he still take care of his own affairs? Myself...... I just want to take him by my side, and I don't want to be the princess of that world, so I can't tolerate myself?

Although her dignity did not allow her to do the thing of begging Zhao Ling to marry her, she was already desperate, and only in this way could she escape Zhao Ye's clutches, and there was no other way, so after hesitating, she still wrote a letter to Zhao Ling and asked him to meet.

Although the second prince was haunted by things that were not well written, but now everything is under control, and in the end he will not be involved too much, so Zhao Ling is not too worried, after receiving Su Xuan's letter, he saw that she was eager to speak in the letter, and he was afraid that something had happened, so he hurried to the appointment.

The two met on a small boat on the Huai River, Su Xuan had been waiting for a while, and when she saw Zhao Ling's figure, she was very surprised and said, "I thought you wouldn't come!" ”

"Sister Su Xuan invited, I didn't dare not come, but although you didn't say anything in your letter, I'm afraid something happened, what's wrong?"

Su Xuan lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before biting her lip and saying, "Third prince...... The third prince, he forced me to marry him! ”

"What!" Zhao Ling's brows furrowed, "I can see that the third prince is afraid that he is interested in you, but I didn't expect him to move so fast!" If you don't like him, go back quickly, he won't rob him! ”

Su Xuan's eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head sadly: "He won't let me leave the capital easily!" He was a terrifying person, and I was scared when I saw him! ”

She stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ling's sleeve and said, "If my father knew that he liked me, he would definitely let me marry him, Brother Ling, save me!" ”

"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Ling asked.

"The Queen Mother has the intention of marrying me to you, but don't worry, it will not shake the position of Miss Jiang's princess, just as a flat wife, but the third prince already knows the Queen Mother's thoughts...... Now the only way to do this is Brother Ling, you ask for a kiss, so that the third prince will not speak again......" The last few words Su Xuan said with a blushing face while observing Zhao Ling's face.
