When the team arrived within the Imperial City, they met the guards sent by Jiang Qianbai to greet them, and then they escorted Jiang Qiancheng into the Imperial City in place of the forbidden army guards and sent them back to the Seven Kings' Mansion.

Jiang Qiancheng raised his head and looked at this familiar place, his mood was slightly complicated, obviously he had only been away for a few months, but he didn't know why he felt that it had been a long, long time.

Yue Qingming smiled and shook his hand and said, "Don't think about anything else for the time being, let's go back and rest first." ”

Jiang Qiancheng nodded, and was about to go into the mansion to rest, when the eunuch sent by the emperor to pass the message hurriedly came, first saluted Jiang Qiancheng respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations on the triumphant return of the prince, the slave came to invite the prince into the palace at the behest of His Majesty." ”

Jiang Qiancheng and Yue Qingming looked at each other and said, "I know, this king will go in and change his clothes and come out soon." ”

"Yes, then the minions are waiting for you outside."

When Jiang Qiancheng was changing clothes, Yue Qingming was sitting inside, with her back to Jiang Qiancheng's direction, she frowned tightly and said, "Although you have won the battle, it is normal for the emperor to want to see you, but I always feel a little uneasy. ”

"There's nothing to worry about, I just won this war, no matter what, the emperor won't attack me in the palace, maybe he just wants to ask for some details, don't worry."

Yue Qingming sighed and said, "It seems that we have a lot of things to do next." ”

Jiang Qiancheng smiled, changed his clothes and walked in front of Yue Qingming, stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and then said, "Don't always think nonsense, I went to the palace, you take advantage of this time to rest." ”

Yue Qingming nodded, watching Jiang Qiancheng's figure disappear in front of his eyes.

But after Jiang Qiancheng left, Yue Qingming did not stay in the mansion to rest honestly, but went directly to Mingyue Tower, she was not in the imperial city during this time, she didn't know what was going on here, so she still had to go back and familiarize herself with the news first.

And Ruyi and Jade were a little surprised to see Yue Qingming come back without any warning, they thought that Yue Qingming would at least have to stay in the Seven Kings' Mansion until tomorrow before coming back here.

Ruyi was about to speak, but Yue Qingming spoke first: "Ruyi, time is pressing, bring it to me after sorting out all the big and small things that happened during my absence in the Imperial City." ”

"Good!"

Previously, according to Yue Qingming's meaning, the things that happened every day in the imperial city were sorted out separately, so it was not very difficult to find the news during this time, but there were a lot of them, and there were twelve books when they were placed in front of Yue Qingming.

This is more than Yue Qingming imagined, it seems that a lot of things happened when she was away.

Yue Qingming looked at it and asked, "What was the biggest thing that happened in the Imperial City when I was away?" ”

"It was the poisoning of the concubine in the palace, that is, the biological mother of the prince, when His Majesty was furious and grounded the last queen mother he saw before the poisoning of the concubine."

Yue Qingming raised his head and looked at her: "Didn't Jiang Qianbai have any reaction?" ”

"Yes," Ruyi replied very affirmatively: "After that, the prince targeted the five princes everywhere, but the five princes were able to clear up the relationship in everything, and half a month later, the concubine recovered, and found out that the murderer was the palace maid next to the concubine, and the queen's innocence was returned, and the matter was resolved." ”

Yue Qingming narrowed his eyes, no wonder the prince wanted to assassinate Jiang Qiancheng, it turned out that it was because there was no way to deal with Jiang Qianbai and the queen mother in the imperial city! It's really in line with the good "style" of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he specializes in picking weak ones!

But now the crown prince no longer has this qualification, Jiang Qiancheng is the life-saving benefactor of the Western Jin Dynasty, and now he is the object of the emperor's trust, and he wants to find a way to get rid of Jiang Qiancheng, but it is not so easy!

"Miss," Ruyi said cautiously: "You played the crown prince when you left the imperial city before, presumably he still has a grudge, if you can, you should stay in the mansion during this time, so as not to make excuses to trouble you." ”

"Don't worry, it's not so easy for him to find trouble with me, if he can play him once, then he can play him a second time, if he dares to find trouble, I'll let him see what it means to be unable to eat and go around!"

Ruyi is a little helpless, although Yue Qingming has this ability, but in this case, it is still unnecessary to go against the prince.

"By the way, is Dong Xi in the Imperial City now?"

Ruyi shook his head: "No, he said that he had some personal matters to deal with, so he left two days ago, saying that he would rush back within a month, and he didn't say anything specific." ”

Yue Qingming sighed, forget it, let's talk about my own affairs when he comes back.

At this time, in the palace.

When the emperor saw Jiang Qiancheng, his face was full of joy, and before Jiang Qiancheng finished saluting, he got up from the dragon chair and walked in front of him and held his hand: "Old Seven, you really didn't disappoint me this time, you really have the ability, I am very pleased!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng said respectfully: "Father's words are serious, and his son just did what he had to do. ”

"This one thing alone is already better than most people, I'm afraid even the prince can't do you like this!"

Jiang Qiancheng raised his head and glanced at the emperor, what does this old man want to do when he says such things now?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, and the sons and daughters are ......"

"Oh, needless to say, polite words, don't I know what kind of virtue he is?" The emperor said angrily: "During this time, he has caused me a lot of trouble, just like him, there is really no way to be a good prince!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng didn't continue with the emperor's words, this kind of conversation was too dangerous, what was the emperor thinking, instigating himself to deal with the crown prince in front of him?

Seeing the cautious expression on Jiang Qiancheng's face, the emperor smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be nervous, I just chatter with you, I don't mean anything else, it must be very hard to come back all the way, I heard that you also encountered horse bandits, but fortunately, there is no danger." ”

Jiang Qiancheng didn't believe that the emperor was just chatting with himself, there must be something else in his words.

It's just that on the surface, Jiang Qiancheng can only echo and say: "I did encounter horse bandits, but I don't know where those horse bandits came from." ”

"Then, leave this matter to yourself."

"What?"

"You are the dignified Seventh Prince, you just repelled the army of Yan and encountered horse bandits, the matter is definitely not simple, you investigate yourself, no matter what the result is, I will make the decision for you, as long as the evidence is conclusive."

Jiang Qiancheng looked at the emperor with a serious expression, and then nodded: "Yes!" ”
