On the way out of the palace, Jiang Qiancheng was wondering, is the emperor giving him any hints, what does it mean to investigate whatever he wants, as long as the evidence is conclusive? That is, perjury is also OK?

Jiang Qiancheng's mood was a little complicated, although the emperor was very good to himself, but his kindness to himself was mixed with a lot of calculations, and this feeling was not very good.

When he was about to walk to the gate of the palace, Jiang Qiancheng met the prince, and when the prince saw Jiang Qiancheng, the expression on his face was particularly serious, and he looked very unkind to see him.

Jiang Qiancheng didn't plan to deal with him, but when he passed by him, the prince suddenly spoke: "Jiang Qiancheng, this palace is the crown prince, and you are the prince of the East Palace, don't you need to salute when you see this palace?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng stopped, bowed to the prince in a slightly perfunctory manner: "Participate in His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but the prince would not let him go so easily, and turned around to block Jiang Qiancheng's way: "Could it be that because you won the battle, you started to have no one in your sights, right?" Jiang Qiancheng, don't forget, you're just a prince! ”

Jiang Qiancheng looked at him lightly: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for reminding me, I will remember my identity, but please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see his identity clearly, don't do something that loses his identity, when the time comes, you will lose the face of the royal family, and you will suffer the loss!" ”

"Jiang Qiancheng!" The crown prince frowned: "What do you mean by this?" Is it ironic about Hongu? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands it in his own heart."

"You!"

Jiang Qiancheng didn't plan to waste time with the prince, so he turned around and left without hesitation after finishing speaking.

The prince stood in place and looked at his back as he walked away, anger was written on his whole face, it was really hateful, what the hell was that guy Fang Kui doing, didn't he say that Jiang Qiancheng would be attacked on the road, how could he still come back unharmed!

After Jiang Qiancheng left the palace, he went directly back to his Five Princes' Mansion, but when he arrived at the door, he was told that Yue Qingming had already gone back to Mingyue Tower after he entered the palace.

Jiang Qiancheng was a little helpless, didn't he say that he would let her stay in the mansion and have a good rest, he was really disobedient as always!

Forget it, since they have all arrived in the imperial city, Yue Qingming should also be safe, not to mention that there are Ruyi and Jade on the side of Mingyue Tower, which should not be in the way.

Jiang Qiancheng had just returned to his room to get ready to rest, when Shan Wu hurriedly ran from outside: "Lord Wang, the details of those horse bandits have been investigated clearly!" ”

"Say!"

"Those people were originally horse bandits who claimed to be kings in a valley more than two hundred miles away from the imperial city, and they generally robbed rich merchants in passing places, and they would leave after robbing things, and rarely hurt people's lives, this time, they collected 10,000 taels of gold from a mysterious person to come here to ambush us."

"Mystery man?" Jiang Qiancheng subconsciously frowned: "Didn't investigate the identity of this mysterious person?" ”

"It is said to be a man wearing a black cloak and a mask, and those horse bandits are just collecting money to do errands, and they don't know what the real identity of that person is."

Jiang Qiancheng's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he couldn't help but think about the mysterious person who wanted his own life...... It is estimated that the mysterious person is fake, in order to hide his identity is the real one!

That person chose to do it when he was about to return to the imperial city, nine times out of ten he was a person in the imperial city who did not like him, and there were not many people who could take out 10,000 taels of gold at one time and find horse bandits a hundred miles away.

One is the crown prince, but looking at his reaction in the palace, it doesn't look like he arranged it, otherwise he wouldn't have shown his emotions so obviously in front of him.

There is another one that Jiang Qiancheng does not want to think about, that is, Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who is almost standing on the same rope as the prince, Jiang Qiancheng was originally unwilling to doubt him, but the facts made him have to doubt.

"Lord Wang," Shan Wu opened his mouth to interrupt Jiang Qiancheng's thoughts: "Does this matter still need to be investigated?" ”

"Of course, that's what the emperor meant."

"What?"

"Just entered the palace, the emperor said that this time the ambush outside the imperial city will be investigated by the king himself, no matter what the result is, as long as the evidence is conclusive, he will be the master of the king."

Shan Wu looked at Jiang Qiancheng in surprise, the emperor's meaning was obviously implying that they could directly make false testimony, as long as no one could refute it, what they took out was conclusive evidence!

But Shan Wu didn't understand, didn't the emperor always dislike Jiang Qiancheng? How to ...... this time

"Lord, we ......"

"Let's look into it first, and if we don't find any clues, then we'll talk about it later."

"Yes!"

Mingyue Tower.

Yue Qingming watched it all afternoon, and finally took a rough look at all the big and small things that happened during this time, and had some understanding, of course, most of them were inconsequential things, and the most noteworthy thing was only the situation on the side of the prince and Prime Minister Liu.

According to the news, the crown prince and Fang Kui have been talking frequently in the East Palace recently, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng secretly left the imperial city a few days ago, and took away a large amount of gold.

It's just that those horse bandits have already run away, and there is no evidence!

Yue Qingming touched her chin and frowned and thought about what to do, Ruyi walked up to her with the freshly made mung bean soup: "Okay, Miss, after reading the book for so long, it's time to rest, let's go back first." ”

Yue Qingming held the mung bean soup, drank half a bowl in one go, and then wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I can't think of anything now anyway, so let's go back and sleep first!" ”

Ruyi helped Yue Qingming to get into the carriage, and drove the carriage back to Yue Ming as before, but this time the situation was different from before, not long after the carriage left Mingyue Tower, Ruyi who was driving found that someone was following them.

Jade sat in the carriage with Yue Qingming, and said comfortingly: "Miss, don't worry, we are here." ”

"Hmm!"

But nervousness is inevitable. What's more, even if she has experienced this kind of assassination several times, Yue Qingming still has no way to get used to it, she really can't imagine that someone will assassinate her in the imperial city.

Ruyi sped up and drove the carriage forward, and the people who followed behind immediately sped up and followed them closely.

Jade lifted the curtain and walked out, flew onto the roof, and looked at the people chasing behind with her sword, they were all wearing black night clothes, and it was difficult to tell how many people there were in the gradually darkening sky.

"Ruyi," Jade said: "Things are a little bad, there are a lot of people coming, take a detour, don't go back to Yue Mansion first." ”

"Good!"
