Shen Baiqing returned to the courtyard with Su Bowen, and Su Bowen received a letter that night, which was written by the prince.

The prince said that the people sent out before did not have the slightest result, and it is estimated that the group escaped several times.

Upon learning of this, Shen Baiqing was slightly worried.

"Although the masked man should have left, there are still remnants in the capital if he can't keep it, I'm afraid that if I can't find those people one day, it will be a hidden danger."

Shen Baiqing's words are very reasonable, Su Bowen said.

"Your Highness's side has begun to blockade the capital, so we'll go over tomorrow to see what we can help."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing left the Su family together, and the Wang family knew that they were going to do business, so naturally it was not easy to stop them.

Now in this capital, the woman who can go out to do business with her husband is afraid that only Shen Baiqing is alone, but this is specially approved by His Majesty.

When Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen came to the city gate, they saw that the prince's men and horses were here, and after the two saluted the prince, the prince did not lose the slightest smile on his face.

"Brother Bowen, don't be polite between us."

"Your Highness is like this, the minister is terrified."

Knowing that this was just Su Bowen's politeness to himself, the prince didn't care too much, but said the current situation.

"Since that incident, strict screening is required to enter and exit the capital, and it is estimated that the group of people who stayed behind should be hiding in the capital, we just need to guard it strictly, and there should be no problem."

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen glanced at each other, and Shen Baiqing said.

"Your Highness, I don't know if those addictive substances are in the hands of that group, if that group of people sprinkles such medicinal powder into everyone's diet or drinking water, something will definitely happen."

"Well, what the second young lady said is that in this case, we need to be more vigilant."

The prince is very aware of the Su family's contribution to the imperial court, and His Majesty is full of praise for the Su family, plus the friendship between him and Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing is relatively good, so the prince subconsciously regards the Su family as his own faction.

The prince's purpose is very simple, as long as he can get the support of the Su family in the future, his position as prince can sit firmly and without the slightest accident.

Just when the prince and Su Bowen and his wife were strictly investigating at the city gate, a huge number of people appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, the prince's face suddenly changed, and the henchman on the side said.

"Your Highness, is it the person of the Five Princes?"

"Fifth brother, what is he going to do!"

Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing on the side both noticed that when the prince learned that the other party was the convoy of the five princes, his face changed, which shows that the prince and the five princes should be opposed.

Think about it, now that His Majesty is in good health, who can sit on the throne of the prince, this matter is uncertain, the five princes quickly came to deal with the prince, seeing the prince showing off his power in the capital, how could the five princes satisfy the prince?

Su Bowen took Shen Baiqing to stand aside consciously, and the fifth prince came to the crown prince and saluted respectfully.

"I've seen Your Highness."

"The minister/courtier's wife has seen the five princes."

Hearing this, the eyes of the five princes stayed on Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and said with a smile.

"I heard before that the second young master and second young lady of the Su family are capable, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, which is really admirable."

"The fifth prince is polite."

In addition to saying a polite word, Su Bowen didn't plan to say anything more to the five princes, and the five princes were a little embarrassed for a while, but they didn't embarrass Su Bowen.

The crown prince looked at the five princes, and his tone was full of disdain.

"The fifth brother is free again today, so he plans to come to this street for a walk?"

His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the five princes, but it hindered the friendship between father and son, and he never criticized the five princes too much.

Therefore, the five princes have become more and more arrogant.

"I heard that His Highness has been getting busier and busier recently, so I thought that I was an idler anyway, and if His Highness didn't dislike it, I could help.

It's just that I didn't expect that His Highness still has a right-hand man now, and it seems that he doesn't need me as a younger brother. ”

When the fifth prince said this, his eyes stayed on Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and his implication was that the prince deliberately wanted to win over the Su family.

In this regard, Su Bowen did not speak, Shen Baiqing did not say anything, the prince glanced at the fifth prince and said slowly.

"Since the fifth brother has finally made up his mind to help the fifth brother, the fifth prince will naturally give the fifth brother a chance, why don't you leave the matter of defending the city to the fifth brother, okay?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

The fifth prince seemed to be very satisfied with the prince's approach, as if the prince's doing so was a concession to him.

The prince rested with Su Bowen and others in the tea shed on the side, Shen Baiqing was speechless, and so was Su Bowen.

The prince looked at Su Bowen and said tentatively.

"Brother Bowen, isn't he curious why this prince took the initiative to hand over the matter of guarding the city to the fifth prince?"

Hearing this, Su Bowen's expression was as usual.

"The minister is stupid."

In just three words, Su Bowen has already made his position clear, he is reluctant to mention the matter of the five princes in front of the prince, Su Bowen just wants the prince to know that their Su family is neutral.

It's just that Su Bowen's performance is in the eyes of the crown prince, that is, Su Bowen doesn't want to mention the dissatisfied and disgusting five princes in front of him.

Seeing that the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and then seeing the five princes sitting in the carriage showing off their might, the prince looked at Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, and ordered.

"Now that there is nothing to do with you and your wife, I will go to coax the child, the fifth prince is so worried about the prince, and the prince will also go back to the East Palace to rest."

"The courtier/courtier's wife retires."

Back in the carriage of Su Mansion, recalling what happened at the gate of the city today, Shen Baiqing couldn't help but say.

"Husband, why do you say that these five princes volunteered to defend the city today?"

Seeing that this was a matter of private matter, Su Bowen began to analyze the matter.

"The fifth prince has always acted recklessly, and he is even more reckless in doing things, thinking that he will not be able to take action when he learns that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become more and more beautiful in the recent period."

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only afraid that he will not give the five princes good fruits to eat."

"This is natural, let's go back and wait for news, I guess there will be a lot of good shows to watch next."

Not long after the two returned to Su Mansion, news came that the group had slipped away under the noses of the five princes, and the prince held on to the matter and brought it to His Majesty.

At that time, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing were both present, and His Majesty had no choice but to summon Su Bowen into the palace to talk about the matter in detail.

Su Zhiyuan did not give the slightest instruction before Su Bowen left, and Su Zhiyuan believed that Su Bowen could handle this matter.

Shen Baiqing also believed that Su Bowen had no problem, and sure enough, within two hours, Su Bowen came back, and the news of the fifth prince being grounded also came from the palace.

After Su Bowen came back, he was called to the study by Su Zhiyuan, and after learning that Su Bowen just told the truth in front of His Majesty, he told what he saw, and did not show the slightest position of the Su family, Su Zhiyuan was very satisfied with his son.

After Shen Baiqing learned the general situation of the matter, she couldn't help but sigh that the affairs of the royal family were really complicated, and it seemed that she was still too simple.

However, Shen Baiqing didn't want the Su family to get involved in the royal battle, and the courtiers who had joined the imperial power struggle since ancient times basically had no good end.
