Sure enough, as Lin Yingxue expected, Murong Xun was no longer satisfied with the scene of being on par with the prince. Within a few days, the otherwise calm situation began to unfold - one of the prince's important ministers was impeached and bribed.

At this time, Lin Yingxue was chatting with Murong Yue in the palace to relieve her boredom, "How about the princess taste this tea?" She pushed the brewed tea to Murong Yue.

In the past, Lin Yingxue didn't like to drink tea very much, until after being reincarnated and reborn in this life, she somehow suddenly liked to drink tea, and occasionally she would make tea by herself, because she found that when making tea, her mind could remain unprecedentedly peaceful, which was a kind of mental enjoyment.

"Alas!" Murong Yue sighed sadly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of it casually, then put the teacup down again.

Since Lin Yingxue entered the palace this morning, she has probably heard dozens of sighs alone. I really don't know how Murong Yue grew up at a young age, and was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, where did she have so much distress.

She smiled and shook her head, and asked casually, "Did the princess encounter anything unhappy?" ”

Murong Yue heard Lin Yingxue ask, she couldn't help but nod vigorously, and motioned to Lin Yingxue to look at the guard at the door with her eyes, "I sneaked out of the palace three times and twice to annoy my father, and now my father has sent so many people to watch me, I just go for a walk in the imperial garden and follow me every inch, I'm almost annoyed to death, and I'm about to suffocate to death!" ”

I see. Lin Yingxue smiled and comforted: "The emperor is also afraid that something will happen to the princess, so he is more strict, and the princess must also understand the emperor's hard work." ”

"What painstaking efforts!" Murong Yue has obviously been aggrieved for a long time, and as soon as Lin Yingxue mentioned this topic at this time, her complaints were like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and she couldn't stop: "I don't care so much, anyway, my father doesn't let me go out to play, and sends people to watch me, it's not good for me......"

Lin Yingxue sat on the side and listened helplessly to Murong Yue's complaints for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but say, "It's not impossible for the princess to want to go out of the palace. ”

As soon as Murong Yue heard Lin Yingxue's words, she immediately stopped talking, looked at Lin Yingxue with bright eyes and said, "What way?" Yingxue, say it quickly, say it quickly! ”

Murong Yue asked, and at the same time, she approached Lin Yingxue's and shook Lin Yingxue's body excitedly.

Lin Yingxue was shaken by Murong Yue so much that her body was about to fall apart, and she hurriedly replied: "Didn't the prince enter the palace to greet the queen mother these days?" ”

Murong Yue didn't know why Lin Yingxue suddenly asked this question, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, the eldest brother used to come to the palace every two days to greet the queen mother, but it seems that he hasn't been here for several days recently." ”

Of course, now that the important minister under the crown prince who was bribed by Shangjuan has been imprisoned, the prince is busy fishing for people on the one hand, and he is busy clearing up the relationship on the other hand, he must be too busy, where is the time to enter the palace to greet the queen?

Lin Yingxue thought in her heart, and replied quietly: "The prince hasn't entered the palace in the past few days, the queen mother must be very interested in wanting to know the prince's current situation, the fourth princess might as well go to the queen mother's place, the queen mother will definitely agree to the princess to go out to see the prince." ”

After Lin Yingxue finished talking about the queen, Murong Yue's eyes immediately lit up. She stood up without saying a word, "Yingxue, you wait here, I'll go to ask the queen mother, and we'll go out of the palace to have a good time in a while!" ”

As she spoke, without waiting for Lin Yingxue to answer, Murong Yue ran out in a puff of smoke.

Looking at Murong Yue's back as she gradually faded away, the smile on Lin Yingxue's face gradually faded, she lowered her head and took a sip of the tea on the table, her dark eyes flashed with a deep faint light.

When the prince had an accident, the queen, as the prince's biological mother, was naturally anxious, so Murong Yue would definitely agree to this under the guise of going to see the prince.

Sure enough, Murong Yue came back after going out for a while and said excitedly: "Mother has already given me the waist card to leave the palace, and we will go to the eldest brother's mansion for a while, and after reading the eldest brother, I will go to Li Ji to eat dim sum, Li Ji's dim sum is delicious, and even the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is not as good as ......."

Murong Yue was so excited that she couldn't stop chattering, but this excitement disappeared completely after it continued to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the Prince's Mansion, Murong Yue found that the Prince's Mansion, which was peaceful and warm in the past, had a heavy atmosphere today, although the Prince was still talking to her in a gentle voice as before, but Murong Yue could clearly feel the Prince's absent-mindedness and anxiety today.

"Big brother, has something happened recently?" Murong Yue was raised in the deep palace and didn't know much about the affairs of the court, plus the palace people around Murong Yue were ordered by the emperor and queen to never mention what happened in the court in front of Murong Yue, so Murong Yue was almost ignorant of the current situation in the court, so she didn't know where the prince's troubles came from.

"It's fine." Seeing Murong Yue frowning, the prince hurriedly restrained his emotions and said with a smile: "You little girl, don't worry about the eldest brother's affairs, the eldest brother has been busy with official business recently, and he has no time to go to the palace to honor his mother, you have to talk to the queen mother for the eldest brother, you know it?" ”

Every time she goes to the Queen's Palace, she always has to be told a lot of rules, and she doesn't like to go! Murong Yue pursed her lips and secretly thought in her heart, but she still replied, "I know!" The eldest brother is as verbose as the queen mother......"

"Well, I know you won't be able to stay in my house. I will send a few guards to follow you, you go to the street to play by yourself, remember to come back before evening, and I will arrange for someone to send you back to the palace. The prince obviously had other things to do, and after a hurried explanation, he was about to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly got up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please stay!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the prince immediately turned around, and after seeing that the person who stopped him was the fifth miss of the Lin family who had just met today, the prince couldn't help but say with some doubts: "Is there something wrong with the fifth miss?" ”

"That's the case, Yingxue just happened to know Mr. Zheng, the guest of the house, since I came here today, I want to visit by the way, if the prince is free, it is better to take me by the way." Lin Yingxue said calmly.

When you want to see Zheng, just find someone to say hello and lead the way, in fact, you don't need him to lead the way, but the prince has always been very cultivated, and Lin Yingxue is a friend of Murong Yue, so the prince didn't push back, but responded with a smile: "Then please come with Miss Five." ”

Lin Yingxue nodded, then turned to Murong Yue, who was confused, and said, "Then trouble the princess to wait for me here for a while." ”

"Go, go, go!" Being able to come out to play today, Murong Yue was obviously in a good mood, and with a wave of her big hand, she asked Lin Yingxue to go back quickly, and she sat down leisurely.

Seeing this, Lin Yingxue smiled and walked towards the direction of the backyard with the prince.

"What's wrong?" Walking to the back garden, seeing Lin Yingxue suddenly stopped, the prince couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Lin Yingxue did not rush to answer, but first bowed to the prince with apologies, and then said: "Please forgive the prince, in fact, Yingxue doesn't know Mr. Zheng, but she just wants to say something to the prince alone, so she told such a lie." ”

When Lin Yingxue said these words, she had a calm bearing. When he was in the front hall before, the prince only thought that Lin Yingxue was an ordinary lady with a quiet personality, but now the more he looks at it, the more he feels that Lin Yingxue is not simple.

"In that case, then Miss Fifth might as well sit down and talk." The prince pondered for a while, and did not despise Lin Yingxue because she was a teenage girl, but changed his solemn face and asked Lin Yingxue to sit down in the pavilion in front of him.

The prince's courtesy and respect made Lin Yingxue have a better impression of the gentle and elegant son in front of her, she bowed her head, sat down, and said straight to the ground: "The fourth princess is still waiting in the front hall, so I will make a long story short, and I won't delay the prince too much." ”

Without waiting for the prince to answer, Lin Yingxue said the thoughts that had been sorted out before coming: "Lord Gao is now in prison for taking bribes, although this is a big crime, but it is not a big problem, because after all, this is a matter of Lord Gao's personal conduct, even if everyone knows that Lord Gao is a person of His Royal Highness the Prince, it will not have much impact on His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be worried about now should be the whereabouts of the disaster relief official silver." When Lin Yingxue said this, she deliberately paused and glanced at the prince, after all, she didn't have her own power now, and it was difficult to find out any useful news. Everything she knew now had been speculated on through folk rumors and experiences in her past life, and even she herself was not sure whether this speculation was accurate.

But at this time, hearing her say this, the prince did not correct or refute her, which proved that her current speculation was still correct, so Lin Yingxue also followed her thoughts and continued: "Lord Gao was ordered to go to Xijiang for disaster relief with the food money for disaster relief, but he received bribes from local officials in Xijiang, so he was reported and impeached, and what is even worse is that after Lord Gao was imprisoned, the official silver he brought with him disappeared, so now some people say that Lord Gao is greedy for the official silver for disaster relief." ”

"The former is just an ordinary crime of accepting bribes, but embezzling disaster relief silver, it is a big crime of the nine clans, and if Lord Gao is beaten in prison and framed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for embezzling this silver, and then someone searches for official silver in the Prince's Mansion, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River...... If it really comes to that situation, it will be a real crisis for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

After Lin Yingxue's interlocking analysis, the prince was immediately shocked into a cold sweat. He originally thought that the official silver would be missing, and when the time came, he would report it directly to the imperial court, anyway, stealing the official silver was a capital crime, and ordinary people would not dare to use it even if they took the official silver, and as long as the imperial court made a move, the official silver would definitely be recovered.

As soon as the official bank is recovered, the charge of corruption in Goldman Sachs can be cleared, and if there is only one crime of accepting bribes left, as Lin Yingxue said, it will be much easier, but he didn't think at all that the sudden disappearance of the official bank was actually for him!

If things really develop as Lin Yingxue expected at that time, then his already stormy position as the crown prince will definitely be hit hard!
