After Ling Hua sent three letters to His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Yan Qing, he did not immediately set off for Lingshan, but packed up and went to the mansion where Zhao Jiang, the head of the household department, stayed for disaster relief.

She planned to meet Zhao Jiang.

At that time, it was already night, and Zhao Jiang was sitting at the table worriedly.

Second Highness Xiao Zhen has been missing for a month and twenty days, and the drizzle of guards with His Royal Highness made him hide it from His Majesty, and he must not poke this matter out, he saw the bloody rain of the Second Highness on the day of the East Palace, and saw the courage of the Second Highness along the way, although he did not voluntarily take refuge in His Royal Highness at the beginning, but after walking all the way to the Barrier Forest, he was willing to take refuge.

Because, His Royal Highness is indeed benevolent, much more benevolent than His Royal Highness the Prince.

Originally, His Royal Highness didn't have to worry about things along the way, just according to His Majesty's orders, and went directly to Hengchuan County, but when he saw the famine refugees everywhere, His Royal Highness intervened, settled the people all the way, and the journey slowed down, so that when he arrived at the Barrier Forest, because he sent some people to settle the people, he reduced the number of guards, and was intercepted by a large number of killers and forced into the Poison Barrier Forest, so that he disappeared.

He thought that he would hide it for a few days, and when His Royal Highness was found, he would not have to hide it, but he didn't expect that this concealment would be hidden for a month and 20 days.

After he arrived in Hengchuan County, he found that the good people of the people had spontaneously provided disaster relief in Hengchuan County, although Hengchuan County was the most severely affected, but it was less affected than other prefectures and counties, and there were no corpses exposed to the wilderness, let alone riots.

At first, he really thought that he was a good person among the people, but later he found out that in fact, someone was behind it, and the person who promoted the disaster relief behind it was Ling Hua's person, and Ling Hua's person was the person of His Royal Highness.

The reason why he was able to know these things was also because Ling Hua's people specially let him know.

Earlier, he knew a lot of secrets, and he was still terrified, but now that he knows more secrets, he is down-to-earth, and the only worry is that His Royal Highness has no news so far, will it really ......

He didn't dare to think about it.

The room was quiet, and someone pushed them away and walked in with shallow steps.

Zhao Jiang shook his head, "I won't drink strong tea tonight, so I don't have to make it." ”

The person smiled, "Lord Zhao doesn't drink strong tea, I'll ask for a cup of weak tea, I don't know if Lord Zhao is welcome." ”

Zhao Jiang was startled, turned around suddenly, and it was a woman who came in, her face was a little unfamiliar, but he would not admit the mistake.

He stood up and looked at her, "Ling, Linghua?" ”

Ling Hua smiled and nodded, "It's me, in order to hide my whereabouts, I used some tricks on the rivers and lakes, and I can't show my true face, Lord Zhao Haihan." ”

Zhao Jiang shook his head again and again, "Don't tight, don't tight." ”

He looked at Ling Hua, "Are you here for Your Second Highness?" Can His Royal Highness find it? ”

Ling Hua nodded, "Found it." ”

Zhao Jiang was overjoyed and asked urgently, "Is Your Second Highness okay?" Unscathed? ”

Ling Hua shook his head, "I don't know if it's unscathed, but the person has found it." ”

Zhao Jiang raised his heart again, "Dare to ask where His Royal Highness is now?" ”

"In Lingshan." Ling Hua didn't hide it from him, since Zhao Jiang was already her own person, she didn't have to hide it from him, the more people she knew, the more cautious, the more careful, and the more loyal, especially Zhao Jiang, who was afraid that he would make a mistake all these years.

Zhao Jiang gasped, and his whole body stammered, "Second, Second Highness, why did you go to Lingshan?" ”

"It was robbed by the people of Lingshan." Ling Hua's tone was calm, as if talking about the weather today, it was ordinary and there were no fluctuations.

Zhao Jiang inhaled, "That, that, Lingshan is going to rebel?" ”

Ling Hua smiled, "Lingshan is fighting in the house." ”

Zhao Jiang looked at Ling Hua and reluctantly settled his mind, "Lingshan is fighting, why do you want to rob the Second Highness?" ”

"Maybe it's because of me? Forcing me to stand in line? Ling Hua was very honest, but in Zhao Jiang's ears, his words were not shocking, "Because, I have some relationship with Lingshan, or rather, it is blood." ”

Zhao Jiang: "......"

He hurriedly stopped Ling Hua's words, "Miss Ling, you won't be here to kill this official, right?" ”

Otherwise, why did he come from here, and said such a scary thing in a row, she dared to say it, and he didn't dare to listen to it anymore.

Ling Hua smiled, "Naturally not, isn't Lord Zhao now a member of the Second Highness?" Since I have become a person of the Second Highness, I am my own person, and I have always been honest and generous to my own people. ”

Zhao Jiang was very helpless, but looking at her smiling face, he was a little more relaxed, as long as he didn't come to kill him, he still wanted to live a few more years.

He asked tentatively, "Miss Ling isn't joking?" How can you have a relationship with Lingshan? ”

If there is a blood relationship, how can Your Majesty not find out?

Since Ling Hua said the beginning, he didn't hide it, and said directly, "My maternal grandfather was born in Lingshan, but he didn't raise him in Lingshan since he was a child, and Lingshan erased the traces of his origin, so His Majesty can't find out the origin of my relationship with Lingshan." ”

Zhao Jiang was shocked, "It turns out that Wang Lao was born in the Lingshan lineage?" ”

The richest man in Houliang, it turned out that he was born in the Lingshan lineage, so Lingshan has no objection? Otherwise, how could Wang Jin hand over ninety percent of his worth to His Majesty.

Ling Hua nodded.

Zhao Jiang was puzzled and asked his doubts, "That old Wang's family wealth has been handed over to the treasury, why didn't it give it to Lingshan?" ”

"Naturally, my grandfather himself thinks that in addition to the blood relationship, he is not from Lingshan, he was supported by the first emperor, and his grandfather and the first emperor have the grace of acquaintance, even if His Majesty and his grandfather do not have a deep friendship today, but for the good of Houliang Jiangshan, for the good of the people of Limin, for the good of Lingshan, he doesn't want Lingshan to take his silver, but for Houliang Jiangshan." Ling Hua looked at Zhao Jiang, "When Taizu, the king of Lingshan didn't want the world, and the descendants of future generations, why bother to abolish the rules of the ancestors?" What's more, His Majesty is a wise man. ”

Although His Majesty is good at checks and balances, Ling Hua has to admit that he is a wise gentleman and knows how to make good use of people. At the very least, if His Majesty was not Mingjun, the Ling family three years ago would have to die unjustly, and she would not be reused and unable to support her.

Zhao Jiang nodded slowly and sighed, "Wang Lao is benevolent." ”

He looked at Ling Hua, "Isn't Miss Ling about to get married?" You're here, and you're ...... wedding."

"It's postponed."

Zhao Jiang nodded, although he didn't know how deep the friendship between Ling Hua and His Royal Highness was, but it could be seen from the fact that the people who were painting Ling Hua were doing their best for Xiao Zhen these days.

Since the news that His Royal Highness and he came to Hengchuan County for disaster relief came out, those who were doing things behind their backs had all moved to the bright side, and put on the name of His Royal Highness, and even when His Royal Highness disappeared, he also sent a substitute to disguise himself as His Royal Highness, going in and out every day, if he didn't know that His Royal Highness was really missing, he was afraid that he would be fooled.

After really knowing the people of Xiao Zhen and Ling Hua, he can be regarded as a complete change in his opinion of Xiao Zhen and Ling Hua. Even if His Majesty does not send His Royal Highness to Hengchuan County, what His Royal Highness does behind his back is also a benevolent thing that benefits the country and the people.

The prince has never done good deeds for fear that the people will not know and leave a name, many times, it is to let people see his virtuous virtues, but the second highness is different, can save the people without a virtuous name, regardless of merit, do it silently, if it were not for His Majesty to send him to Hengchuan County, I am afraid that even he would think that it is the local good people who do good deeds, and the people who quickly settle the people after the disaster are also civil organizations and great good people, who would have thought that behind it was the Second Highness?

It is precisely because of this that he is even more respectful and sincere.

Since ancient times, good generals have been rare, and the master is even more difficult to find.

Zhao Jiang looked at Ling Hua, "Since the Second Highness was robbed by Ling Mountain, how can you rescue it?" Miss Ling showed up today to find the official, but what does the official need to do? Or is it to consult with the official? ”

In short, he understood that Ling Hua would not have no purpose when he came to see him in person.

Ling Hua sighed with emotion that he was worthy of being a person who could do the book of the household, and said truthfully to Zhao Jiang, "I will personally go to Lingshan to rescue Lord Zhao from coming out, and I really want Lord Zhao to do something." ”

"Just say it." Zhao Jiang thought about it, since he took refuge, he had to play his role, anyway, he was already on a boat, and he could no longer remain neutral, he had the right to support Xiao Zhen to ascend the throne, so that he could be invincible in the future. Otherwise, Xiao Zhen would not be able to ascend to that position, and the entire fate of his Hubu Shangshu Mansion would not be good.

Ling Hua looked at him, "I am tired that Lord Zhao has given Your Majesty a letter, hurry up, and be sure to send it to Your Majesty on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and inform Your Majesty that His Royal Highness has been assassinated, entered the Barrier Poison Forest, and is missing." ”

Zhao Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to hide it from Your Majesty?" ”

Ling Hua smiled, "Earlier, I wanted to hide it from Your Majesty, but now that I have found His Royal Highness, I naturally don't have to hide it." ”

She said her calculations, "Your Majesty spends the Mid-Autumn Festival with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and this year I am afraid that I can't help but release His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lift the ban, I still hope that he will be closed for a longer time, so your letter must be sent in time, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, to Your Majesty's hands." ”

Zhao Jiang immediately understood, and immediately said, "Okay, this official will write an excerpt." ”
