Chapter 459: The Third Prince Again?
Song Yi finally learned from Jiang Geng that although the real king was not in Kyoto, he still handled many things for her.
Although, Xianglian's matter, Song Yi didn't think that the man had done the right thing. But how can she be harsh on men? After all, he really didn't want to worry about these chores anymore.
Xianglian's question, Song Yi still decided to ask clearly. The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. If you can't know yourself and your opponent, you will be stabbed in the back at any time.
Song Yi learned from Jiang Geng that Xianglian had inquired about Zhu Youci's life experience.
"Princess, do you know who revealed the matter of the county lord to Xianglian?"
"Why are you asking this?" Song Yi secretly looked at Chunxiang, and sure enough, he saw an embarrassed expression on Chunxiang's face. Obviously, Chunxiang didn't tell Jiang Geng about what she said in front of Xianglian.
"The life experience of the county lord, there are not many people who know in total. Back then, when the princess wanted to adopt the county lord, the prince had already ordered his subordinates to do the follow-up work. If someone hadn't leaked the secret, ordinary people wouldn't have found out about the county lord's life experience," Jiang Geng was very confident in what he was dealing with. As long as it is disposed of by his hands, no one will find a clue.
Back then, the real princess saw a crazy girl in Jiaodong Fishing Port, and learned from local officials that the little girl's relatives had died in the fire. And the fire was because the then King of Liang and the current Emperor Yuan hid the whereabouts of the real princess and others, and deliberately let his subordinates set fire to the village.
In order to atone for her sins, the princess adopted the only remaining little girl in the fishing village, and even included her in the family tree, became a jade butterfly, and was named the county lord. But externally, the real palace has always concealed the identity of the county lord, only saying that the princess has a relationship with the county lord, and the princess liked the county lord at first sight, so she decided to adopt the child in the off-season.
Although people outside were quite skeptical about such a legendary thing, fortunately, the true king had long expected that there would be doubts, so he had people falsify Zhu Youci's life experience early on. The average person wouldn't find out anything.
However, not long after Xianglian entered Beijing, she quickly inquired about the life of the county lord, which had to arouse the suspicion of King Zhen and Jiang Geng. Originally, the true king asked Jiang Geng to conduct a secret investigation of the people around the princess. But later, the prince was ordered to be sent to Youzhou City, and the matter was delayed.
But now, Xianglian is frequently approaching the county lord, Jiang Geng remembered this matter and asked the princess if she had any suspicious candidates.
Of course, Song Yi knew who told the secret, but she didn't plan to tell Jiang Geng. She knew that Haruka must also be remorseful at the moment. She didn't have to make any worse of it.
However, in Xianglian's matter, Song Yi has decided not to have any illusions anymore. Because Xianglian has touched her bottom line, she will not leave a woman who can approach children for her own purposes.
"Jiang Geng, you tell me. How long have your people been following Xianglian? Song Yi asked very seriously.
"Back to the princess. Xianglian was arranged by the princess to Mengdiezhuang, and her subordinates were already staring at her. Jiang Geng replied truthfully.
"Speaking of which, you've been following her for more than two months. Don't you know who she meets on weekdays? Don't tell me, your people have been following her for more than two months, and they still don't know who the person who connects with Xianglian is. I don't believe that she, a woman who has been away from Beijing for many years, would have such great energy to investigate the life experience of the county lord," Song Yi continued to ask.
Jiang Geng knew that he couldn't hide it, and if he told a lie, the princess would definitely know that he was lying, so he said, "Princess, the people who have come into contact with Xianglian are some little Luo Luo. Not a big deal. However, his subordinates have followed those who have come into contact with Xianglian. Collectively pointing to one place"
"Spring Full Building"
"How does the princess know about this place?" Jiang Geng asked in surprise.
"Your prince told me."
After Jiang Geng heard this, he was not surprised, he only nodded and said, "Every time the subordinates follow up, they can only trace it to Chunmanlou. The surface of Chunmanlou is a place of wind and moon, but there are many secret guards around, which is obviously not simple. After his subordinates reported the situation to the prince, the prince asked his subordinates to investigate who was the boss behind Chunmanlou"600
"After careful investigation by his subordinates, it has been determined that the boss behind Chunmanlou is the third prince"
"Is that him?" When Song Yi heard that he was the third prince again, he was depressed.
"You princes also know who is the boss behind Chunmanlou?" Song Yi asked.
"Yes. However, the prince said that although the boss of Chunmanlou is the third prince, it is not necessarily the third prince who did this, and it may also be deliberately framed by others."
Of course, Song Yi understands that things in Kyoto, true or false, sometimes framing each other are common. Therefore, she didn't fully believe that the person behind Xianglian was the third prince.
It's just that this incident also sounded the alarm for Song Yi. It turned out that Jiang Geng knew so many things in the middle, but he never told himself.
"Jiang Geng, although you are the prince's person. But I also hope that you can be clear about your identity, now that the prince is not in Kyoto, you can only obey my orders. I think this, your prince must have instructed you before leaving" Song Yi still can hide it from Jiang Geng.
Jiang Geng knew that he had not told the princess about Xianglian's meeting with the county lord, and the princess would definitely be angry. Therefore, he didn't say anything, only nodded and said, "Princess, my subordinates know"
Song Yi saw that Jiang Geng had a good attitude, so he did not continue to investigate. After all, she also knows. Although the true king agreed to adopt Zhu Youci by himself and gave Zhu Youci the status of a county lord. But all this is for the sake of one's own face. If it weren't for his own insistence, the true king would not have been willing to adopt his daughter.
Song Yi also understands that the true king's consideration is very correct, no, now, Zhu Youci's life experience has become a hot potato, a hidden danger. In fact, deep in his heart, the true king has never completely accepted this daughter who is not related by blood. Song Yi has always known.
However, she didn't expect that the true king had no feelings for Zhu Youci at all. can use Zhu Youci as bait, and still be approached by the ill-intentioned Xianglian. Of course, Song Yi knows that this is a long-line fishing for big fish, but as long as he thinks of a father who uses his daughter as bait. She felt very uncomfortable.
But what can she blame for all this? After all, adopting Zhu Youci was what she insisted on. I still have to clean up this mess by myself.
After Jiang Geng left, Song Yi said to Chunxiang, "Chunxiang, you don't have to take it to heart. Xianglian came back this time for another purpose. If you don't tell her about the county lord, she will find other ways to achieve her goals."
"Princess, the slave knows. But having said that, I always felt that I was too careless. Princess, you have obviously reminded the slave maid to worry about Xianglian. But the slave still said things that should not be said. Now, Xianglian must have known the county lord's background, and the slave is afraid that she will take advantage of the county lord's background and make a big fuss, which is not good for you, the princess."
The more Haruka talked, the lower she became, and the whole person was depressed.
"It's useless to talk about that now. I think that instead of us thinking nonsense here, let's just call Xianglian and ask her face to face, what do you want to do? ”
"Princess, do you want to have a showdown with Xianglian? Will Xianglian say? Haruka asked in surprise.
"Whether she says it or not, it's up to her. I'll find a way to get the words out of her mouth," Song Yi sneered.
"Princess, then I'll go find Xianglian now and let her enter the mansion," Chunxiang said, and was about to go out.
"Chunxiang, don't go alone, let Jiang Geng accompany you" Song Yi thought that there were people with greater energy behind Xianglian, so he felt that it would be dangerous to venture to find Xianglian.
Therefore, Song Yi asked Xianglian not to go out alone and arranged for Jiang Geng to follow.
Chunxiang heard the words and went to Mengdiezhuang to invite Xianglian.
