East Palace.

Fang Kui sat in front of the prince, looking at the prince's expression that was not much different from usual, a little helpless, although now that Yue Qingming was their eyeliner by Jiang Qianbai's side, if he didn't fulfill his promise, Yue Qingming might not really help them.

Yue Qingming is not the kind of person who is afraid of power, she dares to take what she wants directly in front of the prince, if the prince just wants to use her and does not give, Yue Qingming will definitely not cooperate with them.

So Fang Kui spoke: "Your Highness, do you really want to do what you promised Yue Qing?" ”

"That's natural," said the prince, shaking the wine glass in his hand with a smile, "but before that, this palace wants to see how much patience this young lady has with Yue." ”

"Your Highness means ......"

"During this time, this palace will not go to the front of my father to mention anything about Yue Qingming and Jiang Qiancheng, you send someone to keep an eye on Yue Qingming's every move and see how she reacts to it."

"Yes."

As soon as Fang Kui's words fell, a eunuch hurriedly ran into the main hall and saluted the prince.

The prince glanced at him and said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, news came from the palace just now, saying that the Seventh Prince had killed a general of the Yan Kingdom at the border pass, and now the other party has retreated, promising not to attack again within a month."

"What!"

The prince slapped the table violently, and stood up with an angry and surprised expression, Jiang Qiancheng actually won his first victory at the border pass so quickly!

This was unexpected.

After the prince sat down again, he frowned, this is not good, he originally meant to let Jiang Qiancheng go to the border pass to die, but it was not to let him make contributions to the border pass, if he really returned triumphantly, then his position in the imperial city would not be low!

And in addition, there is a Jiang Qianbai, and his situation is afraid that it will be very difficult.

Fang Kui saw the worried expression on the prince's face, and knew that Jiang Qiancheng's victory at the border pass would be a huge blow to him, but this victory at the border pass was a great thing for them in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The crown prince asked, "What is the reaction of my father?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor was very happy, and directly sent people to the border pass to reward him, and brought a lot of food over."

The prince snorted and slapped the table again.

Only then did Fang Kui speak: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to get angry, since Your Majesty has sent a lot of food to the border pass, it proves that it is impossible for Jiang Qiancheng to return to the Imperial City in a short period of time, and we still have enough time to complete our plan." ”

"But this thing is ...... after all"

"Your Highness, what we need to do most is to expand our power in the Imperial City, Jiang Qiancheng can't come back for the time being, we don't need to worry about him, we should still solve Jiang Qianbai first!"

The prince frowned tightly and clenched the wine glass in his hand, although he was very angry, but what Fang Kui said made sense, Jiang Qiancheng was at the border after all, even if he got a reward, he might not be able to use it, this time he won, I don't know if he will die there next time!

Now in the Imperial City, it is better to deal with the forces on Jiang Qianbai's side first!

The crown prince took a deep breath and said, "Fang Kui, how is the situation on Prime Minister Liu's side?" Has he made it clear that he will join Hongu's camp? ”

Fang Kui shook his head, sighed and said, "Prime Minister Liu didn't directly state this matter, he just said that whoever becomes the future monarch, he will support whomever he wants. ”

"This old fox! Bengong thought that he had helped to deal with Jiang Qiancheng before, which meant to support Bengong, but he didn't expect that it was just using Bengong by using Bengong's hand! ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, you are now a prince, and you are not far from becoming a real monarch, as long as you get rid of Jiang Qianbai and ascend the throne before Jiang Qiancheng returns to the imperial city, everything will be yours."

"Humph!" The crown prince smiled: "You're right, this palace is the prince, and the position of the monarch belongs to the palace sooner or later, no one wants to snatch it away!" ”

Five Princes' Mansion.

Jiang Qianbai sat in the study, listening to Ye Xiuwen relay the news from the palace, he closed his eyes, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table, as if he was pondering the emperor's intention to reward Jiang Qiancheng.

Although this was the first time Jiang Qiancheng led his troops to fight, and it was a great merit to kill the general of Yan Guo, it stands to reason that if you want to reward it, you should wait until Jiang Qiancheng returns to the imperial city and then reward it together.

Unless, the emperor wants Jiang Qiancheng to stay at the border until the war is quelled.

The corners of Jiang Qianbai's mouth hooked up a disdainful smile, worthy of being the emperor, it was really a good idea, I am afraid that in a short time, Jiang Qiancheng will not be able to come back.

Ye Xiuwen watched the expression change on Jiang Qianbai's face, and said cautiously: "Lord Wang, do you need to inform Miss Yue about this matter?" ”

"Don't tell her for the time being," Jiang Qianbai said lightly: "Yan Guo is not an easy character to deal with, Jiang Qiancheng can win once, it doesn't mean that he can win all the time." The outcome of this matter is unknown. ”

"Yes."

"In addition, after this incident, there must be some movement on the prince's side, so that our people are ready to deal with it, perhaps, the plan will start in advance."

Ye Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, my subordinates will do it!" ”

After Ye Xiuwen left, the study was quiet, Jiang Qianbai had a faint smile on his face, whether it was the crown prince or the emperor, anyone who wanted to hinder him from realizing his plan had to be dealt with.

Mingyue Tower.

Yue Qingming sat in the room in the back courtyard and looked at the account book, but he didn't know what was going on, the account book that could be read quickly in the past was not finished for a long time today.

Although her eyes were staring at the ledger, her mind was thinking about something completely unrelated to the ledger, and she propped her chin with a depressed expression.

Ruyi walked into the room with a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Miss, what are you thinking about?" The weather has been getting cooler lately, so warm up with some hot tea. ”

Yue Qingming took it with a smile, and when he held the cup of hot tea, the first person that came to Yue Qingming's mind was Jiang Qiancheng, and he didn't know that he was in such a difficult place as the border pass, and the weather was getting colder, did he take good care of his body and add clothes?

When Yue Qingming sighed involuntarily, Ruyi's expression was a little complicated, Ye Xiuwen's people came to pass the word just now, saying that the news that Jiang Qiancheng was at the border pass should not be told to Yue Qingming for the time being, although I don't know why I couldn't tell her, but Ruyi still chose to do it.

Jiang Qianbai must have a reason for doing this.

It's just that......

If you don't tell Yue Qingming about this matter, is it really good? After all, that's good news.
