Chapter 437: Go to the small courtyard
The prince began to listen carefully, and then he was extremely irritable, and several advisers couldn't discuss a good countermeasure for a long time, and he lost interest.
"Everyone, be quiet, this is the end of today, there are some things to deal with in this palace." The originally noisy room was a lot quieter because of the prince's words.
Seeing that the prince did not say anything, the prince understood their desire to speak and stopped, and knew that the discussion could not lead to any favorable results, and that time was wasted.
"Prince......" One of the quietly aged advisors wanted to speak, but the prince hurriedly stopped him from continuing.
"There is really something going on in this palace, so I'll discuss it with you another day." After the prince finished speaking, he didn't listen to what the advisers thought, and left by himself.
After the prince left, the advisers began to quarrel again, and they all had to shirk their responsibilities.
The prince and his guards arrived in a secluded restaurant in the city, and in a short time he received good news.
"Prince, the money has been prepared." A flattering smiling face appeared in front of the prince's eyes.
The prince was a little worried in his heart, if he let the emperor know that he was secretly recruiting troops, then he really had no room to turn over.
"This is the money for disaster relief, if the matter is exposed, you and I will not be able to protect our heads." The prince knew better than anyone what would happen if he took the money from the national treasury for disaster relief.
The man listened to the prince's words, and said proudly with a smile: "Prince, you can rest assured, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are now under control, although the people have not received the money for disaster relief, they will not make trouble in the capital, the emperor is far away, and our lord has made all the preparations." ”
The crown prince and the officials at the prefecture level have long been secretly colluding, and every time the money taken out by the imperial court will eventually reach the prince.
"That's very good, don't leave evidence!" The prince was very cautious.
"Prince, you know this matter, we know, we won't leave a trace over there." said flattering words, but pushed the possibility of a mistake to the prince's side. The prince snorted coldly. "Sure enough, you guys have a good idea."
The prince knew in his heart that the people who cooperated with him had common interests, so he endured it for the time being, and when he held the power in his hands, he didn't have to look at people's faces.
"Prince, it's all for everyone's interests, our family recognizes the prince, supports the prince very much, and it is our honor to cooperate with the prince." On the one hand, these words show that they cooperate with the prince because it is profitable, and on the other hand, they elevate the prince and make the prince not take their profit-making behavior too seriously.
The prince is not a fool, but when he is stupid, he will look stupid. "Since that's the case, then it's up to you, but Prince Heshuo is not easy to deal with, although you are far away in Jiangnan, but he is not as harmless to humans and animals as he seems, bring a word to you adults, simply and neatly!"
The prince had already received money from the people below, and he would use it to accomplish his great work.
Outside the room where the prince was talking, a small two people held a tray and leaned over the door, listening to the conversation between the prince and the other person.
The hidden restaurant that the prince came to every time was an industry under the name of Gongsun Yi. Although business is not good on weekdays, the prince often comes and goes here, and his subconscious already thinks that this is a safe place.
Xiao Er heard the conversation between the prince and the man, and left in a hurry, and soon Zhao Yi received the news, he didn't rush to make a move, and now there is no substantive evidence, he is waiting for a suitable time.
Gongsun Yi didn't go to the small courtyard in the south for several days, with Zhao Qi and the others by Lin Shengyue's side, he didn't worry about Lin Shengyue's safety, because there were many things to be busy, even if he wanted to accompany Lin Shengyue, he was powerless.
Gongsun Yi was busy with his own affairs in the palace, and the housekeeper hurriedly walked outside the study with a guard.
"Lord Wang, Mr. Shen is back!" The housekeeper was very happy, if the prince heard the news of Shen Chenchen's return, he would definitely follow suit.
Hearing the sound outside the house, Gongsun Yi lit a candle on a piece of paper in his hand, and soon the paper was burned to ashes, and Gongsun Yi opened the door.
When the door opened, the man behind the butler hurried to him. "Greetings to the prince!" The guard didn't say what Shen Chenchen had said to him in front of the butler.
The housekeeper has been in the Peshuo Mansion for many years, and he is very discerning, and he also sees the embarrassment of the visitor. "Lord Wang, there are still things waiting for me to be busy in the house, so the slave will retire."
The housekeeper turned around and left, and the guard heard the footsteps of the housekeeper in the distance, so he raised his head, and Gongsun Yi stared at him seriously.
"Can you say it now?" Gongsun Yi asked flatly, and the guard explained: "Lord Wang, Mr. Shen said that he went directly to the courtyard in the south of the city, as for the mansion, he didn't come to the house, and there were a lot of eyes in secret, he asked me to tell you alone, and he also heard about what happened a few days ago." ”
The guards brought Shen Chenchen's words to Gongsun Yi intact. "This king knows, you go back!"
Now that Shen Chenchen is back, he wants to see Lin Shengyue for the first time, Gongsun Yi has some bad feelings in his heart, although he knows that Shen Chenchen may be sending a handkerchief to Lin Shengyue, and there is more or less a trace of vinegar in his heart.
After the guards left, Gongsun Yi changed into his clothes to hide his identity, and Zhao Yi was hurriedly summoned back by Gongsun Yi, thinking that Gongsun Yi had something important to hand over to him.
"Lord, what do you command?" Zhao Yi, who rushed over, asked seriously in front of Gongsun Yi, and Gongsun Yi said disapprerovingly: "Shen Chenchen is back, but he wants to go to the small courtyard in the south, I will go to it, and everything in the house will be taken care of by you." ”
Zhao Yi saw through what Gongsun Yi was thinking, the master was just unwilling to let his wife and Mr. Shen stay with him for too long, and he was jealous. Although he knew that this was the case, Zhao Yi didn't dare to mention a sentence.
"Yes, master!" What else Zhao Qi can say, what the master says is what it is.
In the small yard to the south, hens have been coming and going with a flock of chicks in their yard, and the yard is a lot more lively.
"Come with me!" Lin Shengyue prepared comfortable clothes for Zhao Qi and them, seeing that the two of them were stiff and inconvenient in women's clothes, Lin Shengyue had already noticed this problem, and those who practiced martial arts were naturally dressed lightly, so she went to the city a few days ago to find someone to specially order two sets of soft and simple women's clothes.
It's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly, Lin Shengyue and Zhao Qi sisters haven't known each other for a long time, but they have already treated them as relatives.
"Madam, are you planning to embarrass me and Zhao Qi, let the horse come over, and promise not to disappoint Madame." Lin Shengyue smiled helplessly, she was not fierce to the two of them, what Zhao Ba said always made her feel happy. There's a messy girl around, and it's a lot of fun.
