Chapter 373: Secret Report

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so virtuous, and I am not that stingy person, but I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited me to the mansion to do?"

The prince deliberately sent Shen Bixia away, that is, he wanted to hide this matter from Shen Bixia.

What the hell is going on to hide even Shen Bixia.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong became more and more suspicious, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to do?

"Mrs. Shizi, I have here the secret report from the palace two days ago."

After reading it, Lu Qingrong finally understood, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do when he asked her to come here?

It's just such an important matter, why did the prince ask her to come here in person?

Why don't you find someone to pass a letter to her, like you did today to Xinliu's note.

Now that it's so clear, isn't it a little too straightforward, and many things in the royal family will be done obscurely, is this prince a little too anxious?

And he looks like this. He's blackmailing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although the emperor has taken a fancy to my shops, but the emperor is a self-respecting person, and he will definitely not really take it for himself, and the people of the Yan Jiang family have indeed participated in the imperial examination, if they are really fortunate enough to serve in the household department, it is also a good thing, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately let me come?"

Pei Zhiyin stepped forward to explain, "Mrs. Shizi, she is really a smart person, she can figure out the key in such a short period of time, many men are inferior to Mrs. Shizi, originally the prince sent a letter to Mrs. Shizi, but looking at Mrs. Shizi's performance, it seems that she has never received a similar secret letter." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded very honestly.

"I've never received a letter like this."

"Mrs. Shizi, I still don't understand, this is the reason why the prince asked Mrs. Shizi to come today, before this, His Royal Highness the prince has asked people to send you a letter, but you have not received it, what does this mean? Presumably Mrs. Shizi should understand, right? ”

This letter must have been hidden by the ghost-faced lady.

Lu Qingrong's mind was turning, and he was worried that he couldn't find the person behind the scenes, but now is an excellent opportunity.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, dare to ask who else in this court knows the contents of this letter?"

Prince Zhao Wenqian looked at Lu Qingrong, and his face showed unprecedented appreciation, which was even more admirable than Pei Zhiyin.

Looks like she's already thought of it.

"The fifth prince has been quite favored since he came back from the imperial tomb, and his favor has surpassed the palace in recent times, and the virtuous concubines in the palace have also regained their position, and all the preferential treatment is better than before, and he naturally knows what the palace knows."

"Then Your Highness, how did the five princes know? Did you learn about it directly from the palace, or did you learn about it through His Highness? ”

This is the key, if the fifth prince is in the palace and has a dark line like the prince, then she has nothing to say, after all, he is the prince, he has a heart for the throne, and naturally he will have many plans.

But if the fifth prince learned about it from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then he is likely to be the person behind the ghost-faced lady.

It was the ghost lady who gave him the letter.

"The five princes did not know directly from the palace, nor did they come from the palace, the palace knew that the ghost-faced lady on the rivers and lakes pretended to be the person next to you and wanted to harm you, but you saw through it, the person behind the scenes is the five princes, just two days ago, the ghost-faced lady has died."

I had long expected that the ghost-faced lady still couldn't escape a dead word in the end, after all, only the mouth of the dead man was the most reliable.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is to tell me, does the Xuanguo Mansion have your eyeliner?"

"Mrs. Shizi misunderstood, the Xuanguo Mansion is the residence of the important ministers in my court, and the palace trusts the people in the Xuanguo Mansion, and the palace also assures you that there is absolutely no one from the palace in the Xuanguo Mansion."

The prince's voice was modest, gentle and polite, "This palace knows that this is known through other means. ”

The Five Princes?

Could it be that the fifth prince has people from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his side, so he knows so much, after all, he knows about the death of the ghost-faced lady.

It can be seen that this person's status around the five princes is not low.

"The Jiang family is the richest man in Jiangnan, and now the imperial treasury is empty, and there is no extra money in the prefectures, so naturally there will be people like the Jiang family, the Jiang family goes in and out of the capital, and they buy people and do business, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other people's gaps, Mrs. Shizi is a smart person, it is better to let the people of the Jiang family be more vigilant."

The implication is that the Jiang family has other people's spies.

I really have to talk about this matter with my second uncle, and what can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel good is not low compared to the status of this traitor.

In the long run, I'm afraid that something bad will happen.

"The third princess is a royal princess after all, if there is any scandal, according to the character of the father, I am afraid that I will not do anything to the third princess, but it will definitely implicate others, and then the Jiang family is afraid that they will have to spend all their wealth in exchange for Jiang Ziji's life."

Lu Qingrong secretly screamed badly, in the past, she didn't object too much to Jiang Ziyong and the third princess, but she had some expectations for this emperor, after all, he was the biological father of the third princess.

If the third princess and Jiang Ziyi are really happy, and the Jiang family has the wrench of the queen mother, the emperor will not embarrass them.

But now, she doesn't think so.

The emperor was able to ignore his wife, and be suspicious and calculating of his own brothers.

Would the same be true for his own daughter?

After all, the third princess is not the princess on the tip of the emperor's heart, he is not only a princess like the third princess, so how much affection can he have for her?

However, Lu Qingrong was not too worried, and there was no way to solve this matter.

"Looking at the appearance of Mrs. Shizi, it seems that there is a solution."

The prince asked curiously.

"Naturally, there is a way, thank you for the reminder of His Royal Highness the Prince, I will deal with this matter, now the treasury is empty, the emperor wants to use some means to enrich the treasury, this is not a big deal, this household has been unmoved for so many years, and it is time to carry out some reforms."

The crown prince and Pei Zhiyin were all interested, and they looked at the dignified and beautiful lady in front of them, what was the reform in her mouth?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now recovering, Lu Qingrong and Nie Jingyang have already calculated before, and now the emperor has six sons.

The eldest prince was born by the crown prince and the queen of the middle palace, and was excluded from the heir to the throne because of his poor health.

Now that it's good, it's qualified to compete.

The second prince was born with a disability and had no possibility of succession, and the third prince was implicated in the case of grain and grass, even if he came out one day, there was no possibility of succession.
