Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Troubles of the Second Prince

Jiang Qingyue walked out of the study, Zhou Ruian still had business to deal with, she didn't bother him, but she had something on her mind.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue looked up, she saw a person sitting on the roof next door, it was Lin Zheyuan, she thought about it, jumped lightly, and landed on the roof with light effort.

"Qingyue." Lin Zheyuan saw Jiang Qingyue smile and said hello.

It's just that the smile on Lin Zheyuan's face was a little tired and depressed, Jiang Qingyue immediately understood, Lin Zheyuan also knew about Weiyuan's dart game, she sat beside him silently, unable to say comforting words.

"Did you already know?" Lin Zheyuan asked.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and some didn't react, Lin Zheyuan said: "The things that my master used to do, the Chen family's affairs...... You should have known about it for a long time, right? ”

Zhou Ruian has always been defenseless against Jiang Qingyue, and it is impossible to hide these things from her.

Jiang Qingyue nodded, and said secretly in his heart, I'm afraid it's not only the Chen family's business, but also her life experience, I'm afraid it's all related to your master.

However, Jiang Qingyue didn't say this, and now she still didn't want to irritate Lin Zheyuan.

Lin Zheyuan raised his head, his eyes were deep: "Now I have finally found the murderer who destroyed the door and avenged my master, but Qingyue, why don't I feel relaxed at all?" ”

Jiang Qingyue thought about it for a while, and then sighed and said, "Because the truth is never beautiful. ”

Lin Zheyuan smiled abruptly and sighed: "I haven't told Xiu'er what the master did now, but how long can I hide it?" The master destroyed the Chen family, but the Weiyuan dart game ended up with the same fate as the Chen family, and I sometimes wonder, will this be retribution? ”

Jiang Qingyue said lightly: "So, the dead are the happiest, and they can be liberated as soon as they die, leaving the living behind, but worrying and sorrowful about what the dead do, the things in this world are really unfair." ”

Lin Zheyuan didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Qingyue patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, go back to sleep early, the living can't always live in the shadow of the dead." ”

Lin Zheyuan was silent and bowed slightly.

Two men jumped off the roof and landed silently on the ground.

Although it was a step late, Fang Mingkun still got the evidence of the Chen family's extermination case, looking at the evidence, he secretly shouted in his heart that it was dangerous, if these things were announced, the Dingguo Mansion and the queen would be finished.

Thinking about it like this, Fang Mingkun thought that the second prince let Jiang Qingyue go, and they almost couldn't get this evidence, and Fang Mingkun was shocked into a cold sweat again.

Then the queen mother called the second prince over and reprimanded her, this is the first time that the second prince has been treated with such a harsh attitude since the second prince was a child.

"You kneel for me!" The queen mother reprimanded angrily: "For the sake of a Jiang Qingyue, you almost put your mother and queen at risk of your own future!" Is that what I taught you? ”

The second prince knelt on the ground in silence, and when he saved Jiang Qingyue, he had already thought of this day.

But he didn't regret it, and this time he saved Jiang Qingyue, he had more doubts in his heart.

"Queen Mother, Ning Yang fell out of favor with his father for no reason, you don't seem to be surprised at all about this matter, do you know the reason?" The second prince raised his head and met the queen's gaze, his eyes were sharper than ever.

The queen couldn't help but tremble, and a touch of panic flashed on her face, in fact, no one knew that the thing that the queen mother was most worried about was not the Weiyuan dart game or the Chen family's annihilation tragedy, but the loss of Princess Ningyang!

Because of other things, she can find a reason, and even push it on someone else's body, she can pick it clean, only this one, confusing the royal bloodline, she can't get rid of it no matter what, she is the head of the harem, and she was ordered to raise Princess Ningyang, but the royal princess was dropped in front of her, and her unfavorable care is enough to abolish her!

Emperor Xuande's heirs are thin, even the princess is extraordinarily expensive, and Princess Ningyang's biological mother is Concubine Qing, if the matter of dropping the bag is leaked, her reputation as virtuous for so many years will be over, and it will affect the future of the second prince.

She can find a way out of other things, only the matter of Princess Ningyang, she is indefensible and cannot escape the guilt.

The queen didn't expect that Emperor Xuande didn't come to ask her, and the first one to ask her was her own son.

Looking at the eyes of the second prince that were somewhat similar to hers, she suddenly felt a panic in her heart.

"There is a way that is unpredictable, and who can guess your father's thoughts? After so many years, Ning Yang has not been less mischievous, and your father is unwilling to indulge her anymore, and it is normal for him to want to discipline her well. The queen said calmly.

The second prince felt that things were not so simple, how much his father loved Princess Ningyang before, it was impossible for Ningyang to fall out of favor because of such a trivial matter, there must be something else in this!

This matter was also thought of when he began to doubt Jiang Qingyue's gender, An Ming's unintentional words made him begin to doubt Jiang Qingyue's gender, and then thought that Jiang Qingyue had been looking for the mystery of her life experience, and she also swore that her life experience was likely to be related to the palace.

According to the time, there was no prince born in the palace back then, but there was a princess born at the same time!

Later, Princess Ningyang fell out of favor with Emperor Xuande for no reason, and the second prince began to be suspicious, but he couldn't believe that his mother really had such a big courage to dare to confuse the royal bloodline!

"Queen Mother!" The second prince couldn't help but call: "You really don't know what's going on?" ”

The queen's face sank: "Chen'er! Are you questioning the queen mother now? The queen mother is planning for you, just want you to be able to inherit the throne one day, but now, you doubt the queen mother for a trumped-up speculation? ”

The second prince couldn't help but be a little moved, he and the queen have always had a deep love for mother and son, and they were indeed a little unbearable.

The second prince said in a low voice: "The son doesn't dare, it's just the queen mother, so far, no matter what you have done before, the son can't accuse you, I just hope that if there is anything else, please tell the son, and now the son also wants to protect the queen mother." ”

The queen's expression softened, her eyes showed a little love, she touched the second prince's head, and then said with a smile: "My son rest assured, the queen mother will not be so useless, the queen mother will definitely get what belongs to you for you, and no one can snatch it away." ”

"What about Ningyang?" The second prince asked tentatively.

At the mention of Princess Ningyang, the queen's expression faded a lot, "You don't have to worry about Ningyang's affairs." ”

"Queen Mother!"

The queen's face sank: "Okay, don't get involved with these irrelevant people, talk about Jiang Qingyue, you can make friends, but I hope you can have a degree, this Jiang Qingyue, first asked Zhou Ruian to hand over the evidence for her, and then let you desperately save her, which is really not to be underestimated!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but have a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The queen mother had never taken Jiang Qingyue in her eyes before, but now that Zhou Ruian and the second prince both looked at this Jiang Qingyue differently, she had to re-examine this person.

The second prince was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, it's not like this, I just regard Qingyue as a friend!" ”

The queen smiled faintly: "The queen mother knows, look at you, it's not too much, she's so anxious, she's just a small role, what can the queen mother do to her?" ”

The second prince can't be completely assured.

After leaving Zhengkun Palace, the more the second prince thought about it, the more frightened he felt, whether Jiang Qingyue was a woman or not? Will her life experience be related to the palace again? All this bothered him, and now it was impossible for the queen to give him an answer, so he changed his direction and started with Princess Ningyang.

Since Princess Ningyang fell out of favor, she was grounded in the palace by the queen mother in the name of upbringing.

The second prince went to Princess Ningyang's bedroom, Princess Ningyang shrank in the palace in embarrassment, and when she saw the second prince coming, she hurriedly ran out.

"Is my father going to see me? Isn't it? Princess Ningyang held the arm of the second prince and asked anxiously.

The second prince and Princess Ningyang grew up together, both of them were raised under the queen's knees, and the relationship should have been close, but Princess Ningyang has always relied on herself to be favored, and never looked at the second prince in her eyes, and Princess Ningyang's favorite thing in the past was to show that she was more favored than the second prince, which gave her a strange sense of satisfaction, so the relationship between the brother and sister was really not very good.

The second prince has no feelings for Princess Ningyang, but seeing her current bleak situation, he is still a little sad in his heart.

"No, my father didn't want to see you, I just came to see you." The second prince said.

The brilliance in Princess Ningyang's eyes dimmed, but she raised her head and glared at the second prince viciously, "Then what are you doing here?" Come and see my jokes? ”

The second prince frowned, he didn't understand, how could they be all women, Princess Ningyang could be so annoying.

He looked at Princess Ningyang coldly and said, "What if I come to see your jokes?" Do you think you're still golden? Without the favor of his father, who cares about the life or death of a princess? ”

"You!" Princess Ningyang glared at the second prince angrily: "You just see me lose power now, if it was before, you dare to do this to me?" ”

"Since you also know that you have lost power, I advise you not to be arrogant anymore." The second prince said expressionlessly: "If you still want to live a harder life, I don't mind helping you, after all, you and I don't have a brother-sister relationship at all." ”

Looking at the cold eyes of the second prince, Princess Ningyang understood that what he said was true, she was very angry, but she was now a princess that no one cared about, without the favor of her father, even the palace maid could arbitrarily oppress her, not to mention the second prince, losing her temper would not help at all, and the current Princess Ningyang also understood this truth.

"Then what are you doing with me?" Princess Ningyang asked rhetorically: "I, a princess who has fallen out of favor, what role does it have to your Second Highness?" ”

"Do you know why you fell out of favor?" The second prince asked.

Princess Ningyang's expression distorted, and she still couldn't control her temper: "How do I know!" Everything is fine, obviously everything is fine...... My father also said that he wanted to help me get Zhou Rui'an's heart and make him die for me, but everything changed in a blink of an eye! ”

Princess Ningyang still doesn't understand how things came to be like this, why didn't her father who doted on her ignore her?

When the second prince heard this, he was a little puzzled: "What got Zhou Rui'an's heart?" How can my father help you get Zhou Rui'an's heart? ”

Princess Ningyang glanced at the second prince: "Why should I tell you?" ”

The second prince sneered: "Just by what I can make your life better!" ”

The second prince said, a mocking gaze swept over her embarrassed clothes, because she couldn't wash clothes, and the palace maids didn't serve her wholeheartedly, and now there was no one to comb her hair, and there would be no master to ask, the people in this palace, no matter how noble their status was, without the emperor's favor, they were nothing.

Princess Ningyang had a very smooth life before, and it was only during this period that she understood this truth.

The gaze of the second prince made Princess Ningyang's eyes show a little resentment, she had never had such a day, and those palace maids who she regarded as inferior dared to snub her so much!

"Can you help me?" Princess Ningyang looked at the second prince and asked.

The second prince was noncommittal.

Princess Ningyang has no other choice, in fact, she also wants to know the real answer in her heart, why did her father suddenly change his attitude towards her?

"Father said that the royal family has a kind of poison that can control people's minds, so that Zhou Ruian only likes me alone, he took a little of my blood, saying that he wanted to eat it for Zhou Rui'an, but ......he didn't expect it" Princess Ningyang only felt remorse in her heart, if she didn't want to marry Zhou Rui'an at that time, maybe nothing would have happened in the future?

The second prince frowned and took blood?

"What did you come up with?" Princess Ningyang asked puzzled.

The second prince shook his head: "How can we guess what my father thinks?" After a pause, his expression was grim: "You slaves, the princess has thought about it behind closed doors, but it's not something you can slack off, if I let me know that you snub the princess, I won't be able to spare you!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy tremblingly.

At this time, Princess Ningyang finally understood that a princess and a prince are different, as a princess, she is nothing without the favor of her father, but the prince is different, no matter how depressed the prince is, it is impossible to fall into such a miserable situation as her.

This realization made Princess Ningyang even more unbearable.

The second prince left Princess Ningyang's bedroom, but he thought about what she said, could it be that Princess Ningyang's fall from grace was related to this incident?

As for the matter of Gu worms, the second prince had also heard of them as a prince, but he didn't know it very clearly, but he felt that it was very likely that there was something wrong with the blood of Gu worms and Princess Ningyang!

Emperor Xuande and Zhou Rui'an would not know that the second prince would inadvertently find out the truth, and it was the closest to the truth.

The second prince immediately left the palace, and after returning home, he called his housekeeper, whose housekeeper was carefully selected by the queen, and he was also an old man in the palace, and his means and connections were extraordinary.

"You go and find out, and see what happened to your father during the days when Ningyang fell out of favor."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hesitate: "But Your Highness, I'm afraid this will ......."

As a son, go to investigate his father's movements, if Emperor Xuande knows, this is a big rebellion, I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the second prince, and now the queen family is already walking on thin ice, if there is an accident at this time, the road in the future will be even more difficult.

The housekeeper was ordered to serve the second prince, so he naturally had the obligation to persuade the master.

The second prince turned pale: "You have to figure out who is your master!" ”

The housekeeper immediately lowered his head and was silent, and the second prince slowed down his tone: "I know the seriousness of this matter, but this matter is very important to us, you just need to be careful, and you don't need to be particularly detailed, just find out the abnormalities of your father." ”

As the emperor, Emperor Xuande has always been in the limelight, and this little thing is still difficult for the housekeeper, and the housekeeper no longer persuades each other and takes the order.

The second prince walked to the coffee table in front of the window, he had sat here with Jiang Qingyue for a drink, thinking of the scene that day, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

"Are you male or female?" The second prince muttered to himself, "Are you really related to Ningyang?" ”

If this is the case, it is very likely that he and Jiang Qingyue are brothers, or...... Brother and sister?

As soon as he thought of this, there was a tingling pain in the second prince's heart, and he actually had a feeling that he didn't want to continue to investigate.

The second prince took out half of the swaddling clothes that Jiang Qingyue handed him, and couldn't help but squeeze it in his hand.

Early in the morning, Lin Zheyuan just got up, and as soon as he walked out of the room, a dart shot at the door frame, Lin Zheyuan hurriedly chased out, only to see a black shadow flashing, and then disappeared.

Lin Zheyuan turned back and took down the dart on the door frame, there was a note on it, on which a place and a time were written, in addition, there were also the words Weiyuan Dart Bureau, Lin Zheyuan flashed a trace of doubt in his heart, it couldn't be a Hongmen banquet, right? But no one was going to save him.

But the Weiyuan dart game was mentioned above, and Lin Zheyuan decided that he would still go anyway.

The time was set for the afternoon, Lin Zheyuan arrived at the place on time, it was a tavern, he arrived half an hour early, and specially observed the surrounding situation, and saw that there was nothing abnormal before he walked in.

As soon as Lin Zheyuan entered, the shopkeeper greeted him upstairs and walked into a private room, and when he saw the people inside, Lin Zheyuan couldn't help but be surprised: "It's you?" ”

Fang Mingkun looked at Lin Zheyuan and smiled slightly: "It seems that Master Lin was surprised to see me, since he came, let's sit down first." ”

Lin Zheyuan sat on the chair with a vigilant expression, Fang Mingkun saw his nervous look, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Lin doesn't have to be so nervous, I won't eat people, right?" It's just that I want to come to Master Lin to discuss something. ”

Lin Zheyuan said coldly: "What do I have to say to you?" ”

Fang Mingkun didn't care about his attitude, and raised his eyebrows: "Master Lin is so bad, how can there be nothing to say?" For example, Weiyuan Dart Game! ”

Lin Zheyuan was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed.

Fang Mingkun said: "I won't go around the corner, let's just say it, I think that in addition to our Dingguo Mansion, Lin Dart Master shouldn't want the Chen family's case to be turned over, right?" After a pause, he continued: "The Chen family was killed, what the hell is going on, Lin Dart Master must also know very well, now that the deceased is gone, it was so many years ago, why mention it again, Lin Dart, don't you say?" ”

Lin Zheyuan raised his head and looked at Fang Mingkun and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I think that the Chen family is already an old case, there is really no need to mention it again, now the Weiyuan Dart Bureau no longer exists, I think with Lin Dart's person, I also want to revive the division, what is going on with the Chen family's case, Lin Dart Master also knows, if Chen Hewu is charged with a murderer, the reputation of this Weiyuan Dart Bureau will also plummet, Lin Dart Master and Chen Hewu have a deep relationship with the apprentice, compared to not wanting to see Chen Hewu die and be infamous, right? In this way, in both public and private, Lin Dart's position should be the same as mine, no, Lin Dart Master is more convenient than me. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying! The evidence has been given to you, and the prince has no evidence, and you still refuse to stop? Lin Zheyuan asked puzzled.

The evidence handed over by Zhou Ruian was true, without evidence, there was no way to convict, and he really couldn't understand Fang Mingkun's intention of coming to him.

Fang Mingkun's eyes flashed: "I heard that there was a witness on the day of the crime, who was found by Zhou Rui'an, and now he is the most important witness in this case!" And the husband, didn't he claim to have seen Chen Hewu himself? If he says Chen Hewu's name when he goes to court, then your Weiyuan Dart Game will be infamous! After a pause, he continued: "Master Lin has a very good relationship with Jiang Qingyue, and Zhou Ruian never guards you, this is your convenience!" I checked for a long time, but I didn't find the hiding place of these two witnesses, and now he is the biggest threat in this case, as for what to do, it's up to Master Lin. ”

"You're going to kill the witness?" Lin Zheyuan finally understood Fang Mingkun's intentions: "This case has been retried, even if the witness is dead, doesn't it prove that the Dingguo Mansion and the Weiyuan Dart Bureau are empty-hearted?" Do you think that Guan Youwei and the prince will give up like this? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way." Fang Mingkun said with a sworn expression: "The only trouble now is those two witnesses, but I think with Lin Dart's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find their hiding place, right?" ”

Lin Zheyuan's eyes were deep and silent, indeed, Zhou Ruian still trusted him, this time Jiang Qingyue was kidnapped, Zhou Ruian still asked him to find someone, and Chen Dazhuang has always been handed over to him to protect, Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue did not doubt him because of his relationship with Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

"Master Lin, as for being a man, it's better to be selfish, otherwise it won't end well, think about the master who is so kind to you, and then think about your little sister who is like a flower and jade, can you really bear to disappoint them?" Fang Mingkun said meaningfully.
