As the driving force behind all this, Zhou Ruian is still in prison in peace, he seems to be very accustomed to life in prison, after listening to Liu Min say what happened today, he responded very indifferently: "I know." ”

Liu Min couldn't help but wonder that Zhou Rui'an had been laying out this bureau for so long, and it was interlocking, so he was worried that something would go wrong in the middle.

"Master, are you really not worried about going wrong at all? I'm not afraid of the master's jokes, when I was in Taimiao today, my palms were sweating, and I was worried that something would go wrong and cause trouble to the master! Liu Min said honestly.

Zhou Ruian said lightly: "Many things are done to obey the destiny of God, we have done a good job in personnel, as for whether it can be done, it depends on God." After a pause, he raised his head with an awe-inspiring domineering look in his eyes: "If God doesn't make it perfect, we can just make it perfect, why be nervous?" ”

Liu Min's heart was shocked, and he found that this was really the case, they were at a disadvantage from the beginning, and in the end, didn't they still rely on their own little by little planning, and finally came to the point where they are today? What else is there to be nervous about.

But that's the throne! O king of a country! The prince is inevitably too calm, right?

"What about Qingyue? How about Kiyoshi? Where is she now? Zhou Ruian asked suddenly.

Liu Min was stunned, he was Zhou Ruian's confidant, and he also knew that the relationship between Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue was extraordinary, because Zhou Ruian had really done too many unexpected things for Jiang Qingyue, but he didn't expect that at such a critical time, Zhou Rui'an remembered Jiang Qingyue the most!

Liu Min hesitated for a moment: "This, my subordinates have not known yet, but today's matter is so big, Jiang Gongzi should also know about it......"

Liu Min felt that with the relationship between Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue was naturally on their side, he didn't understand, everything was beneficial to them now, Jiang Qingyue must be happy, why was Zhou Ruian worried?

Zhou Rui'an frowned deeply, and he pursed the corners of his lips: "Where is the second prince now?" ”

"In the Second Prince's Mansion."

After all, it is the prince, Guan Youwei is not too much, and he did not directly press into the prison, but was confined to the second prince's mansion, but Liu Min has sent a lot of brocade guards to surround the entire second prince's mansion.

Zhou Ruian immediately said: "You go to the Second Prince's Mansion," after a pause, he changed his mind again: "Forget it, don't go, let Luobei go, let him see, Qingyue is not there, Luobei knows what to do." ”

Liu Min was surprised, because this was the first time that Zhou Ruian had changed his orders uncertainly, he had always given every order neatly and neatly, and he had never hesitated, but just to let someone go to see Jiang Qingyue, it made him hesitate.

Liu Min once again realized that Jiang Qingyue was extraordinary to Zhou Rui'an.

Liu Min didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to find Luobei, and learned from Luobei that Jiang Qingyue was really gone, and admired Zhou Rui'an's clever calculation again.

Liu Min couldn't hide his curiosity and asked, "It's really good for the master to treat this Jiang Qingyue." ”

Luo Bei was already surprised, but he was very happy, finally someone could accompany him to bear the critical hit, so he said in a light tone: "That's natural, how can Jiang Gongzi be comparable to ordinary people?" That's the tip of our master's heart! ”

Liu Min raised his eyebrows: "Are you kidding?" ”

Luo Beidao: "Do you want to know why our master is crying and shouting to get into trouble?" ”

Liu Min: "??? "Money? Their wise and martial arts, the master who will ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five in the future will be rich?!

"Hehe, you must be kidding me!" Liu Min smiled and punched Luo Bei.

Luo Bei glanced at him expressionlessly, and the meaning expressed by that glance was that he was naïve, too naïve, so he felt that he was teasing him? This ability to bear is not good, it is too bad, how can I serve by the master's side in the future?

Luo Bei felt that his position would not be shaken, and he was deeply satisfied, so he patted Liu Min on the shoulder: "Then do you know that our master rushed all the way back to the capital for the sake of the four words of Jiang Gongzi?" ”

"What four words?" Liu Min said curiously.

Luo Bei said in the tone of a passer-by: "Don't ask, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Lao Liu, I'm for your good, lest you be hit too, let me bear all the pain alone!" After a pause, he advised: "You just need to remember, you can be disrespectful to the master, but you can't be disrespectful to Jiang Gongzi, you can offend the master, but you can't offend Jiang Gongzi, okay, I'll go to the Second Prince's Mansion, you can taste it yourself!" ”

After Luo Bei finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Liu Min standing in place in confusion, he is still a bachelor, where to go?

However, Luo Bei's words, Liu Min really heard it in his heart, not to mention anything else, Luo Bei is the most trusted confidant by Zhou Rui'an's side, and what he said must be right.

Liu Min didn't expect it, but today's curious chatter will actually save his life in the future, this is a later story.

Luo Bei went to the Second Prince's Mansion, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Qingyue standing outside the mansion, looking like he wanted to wear it, but the brocade guard stopped outside the door and forbade everyone to enter, and Jiang Qingyue couldn't go in.

When Luobei arrived, Jiang Qingyue was already planning to climb over other people's walls, just to be able to see the situation in the mansion.

"Childe! Son! Don't fall! Luo Bei shouted exaggeratedly: "Come down quickly, how can it be good if you fall?" Don't you just want to go in? Just let your subordinates in! Don't scare your subordinates! ”

Liu Min, who rushed over and wanted to see what Luobei was going to do, was speechless, do you want to be so flattering? Look at the way he looks, he doesn't have a bit of integrity! How can such a person be by the master's side!

Also, what does it mean to let her in? The second prince is such an important person, but the master said that before everything settles, others are forbidden to visit.

The stakes are very high, and a small detail may lead to their failure, how could Luobei let Jiang Qingyue in so easily? Did you take your master's words to heart?

Liu Min was very dissatisfied, and planned to go to the master to complain in front of him later.

Luo Bei didn't care what Liu Min thought, he carefully helped Jiang Qingyue jump off the wall, and said bitterly: "Master, you have to take care of yourself, don't do such a dangerous action at every turn, what is there to let Lao Liu go, he has rough skin and thick meat, and he can't be broken!" Don't risk it! Your identity will be different in the future, and you have to protect yourself. ”

"Who am I?" Jiang Qingyue asked puzzled.

It is said that she should be a princess, but until the death of Emperor Xuande, she has not enjoyed the treatment of a princess, why is her identity different now?

Luo Bei choked and changed the topic: "What are you doing here?" There's nothing to see, why don't you go and see the master? The master is alone in prison, how pitiful, helpless, and weak, we should care about him! As he spoke, he nodded his head in a sworn manner, deepening his affirmation.

Liu Min: "??? "Luo Bei Mo is not teasing him?

At this time, Liu Min finally understood one thing, the first henchman next to the master is really not easy to be, just look at Luo Bei's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, he can't do it anyway!

Jiang Qingyue shook his head: "I want to see the second prince." After a pause, she looked at Luo Bei with sparkling eyes: "You just said that you can let me in!" ”

Luo Bei felt bitter in his heart, it's over, this time he patted his ass, but he couldn't say anything if he refused to look at Shangjiang Qingyue, he sighed and turned his head to look at Liu Min.

Liu Min looked inexplicable, and after a pause, he reacted: "That's not good, you can't enter!" Now the case is not over, and the second prince can't see it! In case ...... "If the master is to blame, whose fault is this?"

Jiang Qingyue's brows sank, and he looked at Luobei.

Luo Bei stepped forward without hesitation and directly snatched Liu Min's token: "Don't be so stingy, I'll go and ask the master for a while, and I won't let you be responsible!" After speaking, he handed the token to Jiang Qingyue with a flattering face: "Childe, please!" ”

Jiang Qingyue walked in directly with the token, Liu Min's token was really easy to use, and the road was unimpeded, and no one stopped him.

Liu Min glared at Luobei angrily: "Luobei! What the hell are you doing?! Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you before my master! ”

"There you go! You go! Luo Bei crossed his hands on his hips like a kettle: "I'm just waiting for you to go!" I see if the master scolds you or me! ”

Liu Min said angrily: "Go and go!" ”

The manly husband said that he would sue him, Liu Min turned around and left, and went directly to the prison to see Zhou Ruian.

After listening to Liu Min's indignant words, Zhou Ruian was silent for a while, and the time was so long that Liu Min's heart was a little bottomless.

Then I heard Zhou Ruian sigh lightly: "That's it, if she wants to go, just go, she's happy." ”

Liu Min: "??? ”

No, it's not their master! It's not!

Liu Min left the prison with a helpless face, and went back to see Luo Bei, who looked at him with a gloating expression.

"Deflated, huh? Recognize the facts, right? Luo Bei also said a word, then patted him on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Young man, you are still too young!" ”

Liu Min wanted to kill him at that time.

Jiang Qingyue entered the Second Prince's Mansion, and the Second Prince's Mansion was lonely at this time, and the subordinates were all imprisoned in the Mansion, but they never saw the grand occasion of the past.

Jiang Qingyue thought of coming here in the past, every time she saw people coming and going, it was so lively, and there was royal majesty everywhere, but now, there was only silence left, and she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

The housekeeper didn't expect someone to come over, and when he saw Jiang Qingyue, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Young Master Jiang? But in an instant, he thought of the relationship between Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Rui'an, and he was relieved.

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that to this day, Gongzi Jiang is still the same as he was to His Royal Highness of my family!" My Highness is really right! ”

"Your Highness is alright?" Jiang Qingyue asked softly.

The butler shook his head, and he sighed: "It seems to be very calm, but ...... Alas, if His Royal Highness knows that Gongzi is coming, he will be very happy, Gongzi will go and see His Highness, and the old slave will go and prepare some wine and food for Gongzi and His Highness! ”

The housekeeper said, turned around and left, and his back was a little hasty.

Jiang Qingyue sighed softly, this housekeeper came out of the palace, and the queen has been training for many years, and he has always been stable, and he can't help but be a little anxious at this time.

Jiang Qingyue came to the second prince's room with ease, she knocked on the door and called: "Your Highness, it's me, Qingyue, can I go in?" ”

Soon, the second prince opened the door, and Jiang Qingyue was just about to walk in, but the second prince said: "There is a pavilion in front of the courtyard, Qingyue and I will go there to sit." ”

Jiang Qingyue was a little strange, she was a frequent visitor to the Second Prince's Mansion, and she had entered his room before, what happened this time?

The second prince took the lead in walking towards the pavilion, and said lightly as he walked: "You are a daughter, if you stay in the same house with me for a long time, you will be gossiped about in the future." ”

Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is too worried, right?" ”

The second prince paused, turned his head, and looked at her deeply: "I'm afraid you're going to ...... in the future Always be careful. ”

Although Zhou Ruian has never shown up, the second prince also knows that the final winner must be Zhou Ruian, with Zhou Rui'an's feelings for Jiang Qingyue, Jiang Qingyue may be the future queen.

The future queen is in the same room as the prince of the previous emperor, and if someone knows about it, she will definitely use this as a reason to attack Jiang Qingyue.

Zhou Ruian did not marry a wife, if he inherited the throne in the future, there was no doubt how many people would stuff people into the harem, but Jiang Qingyue came from the people, and he didn't know anything about these bends in the court and harem.

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but say: "Qingyue, you have to pay more attention in the future, no matter how good your friends are, you have to avoid them more, this is good for you, lest you suffer again." After a pause, he sighed and said: "I know, maybe Zhou Ruian trusts you very much, but when a person is in the highest position, he is often more involuntarily, it is not him, and the people around him will not agree." ”

The more the second prince thought about it, the more he couldn't rest assured, and he said abruptly: "With your temperament, you will have to face so many tribulations in the future, it's really worrying......"

Jiang Qingyue looked at him calmly, she felt that the second prince was really a good brother, even if they didn't have the love to grow up together, but he really cared about her, even at this time, he was thinking about her situation.

"Your Highness...... Don't you blame me? Jiang Qingyue said abruptly: "If it weren't for me, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this." ”

"It's none of your business." The second prince shook his head and said, "Even if it weren't for you, that person would have guided things to this point." ”

"It's not that you let my mother be greedy for food, or that you let my mother collude with the Tatars, these things...... I haven't admitted it to the outside world, but I know that these are facts, so how can I blame you? The second prince said abruptly.

When the queen did these things, he was doomed to lose his chances with that position, and Zhou Ruian would not let him go.

This time, from the time the queen forced the palace to the time he almost ascended the throne, they spent so much Zhou Zhang, but Zhou Ruian easily succeeded in turning the tables, which shows this person's scheming and means, and it can also be known that Zhou Ruian's layout is not a day or two.

They simply can't win.

In fact, if the queen had already revealed to Emperor Xuande that Jiang Qingyue was the real princess of Ningyang, Emperor Xuande would still be able to use Jiang Qingyue's blood to clamp Zhou Rui'an's Gu worm, and even kill him.

But the empress and Emperor Xuande were suspicious first, and the two sides defended each other, which doomed this result and missed their only opportunity to defeat Zhou Rui'an.

The second prince sighed, "It's just that the time is also fate, and it is not up to anyone at all." ”

Jiang Qingyue looked at the second prince who was still smiling although she was bitter at this time, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The second prince raised his head and saw Jiang Qingyue looking at him in a trance, and couldn't help but say, "Qingyue? What's wrong? ”

Jiang Qingyue came back to his senses, and then said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just miss a little nostalgic for the one who was in Liuzhou at the beginning." ”

The second prince who was a little timid and cowardly, but he liked to be smart and would be calculated by them every time, he was not smart at that time, and he was forced to Liuzhou by the queen to catch ducks on the shelves.

Now he is very smart, he can see through many calculations, and he is even calmer and more rational than the queen, but Jiang Qingyue feels sad.

"If I had known this, I would have treated His Highness better at the beginning." Jiang Qingyue said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The second prince laughed: "Qingyue, you finally admit that you also calculated me at the beginning, right?" Hmph, Your Highness still thinks you're a good one! ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled.

The second prince said: "I must have hated it at the time, right?" Obviously afraid of death, but he coveted military merits and took Zhou Rui'an's exploits as his own," paused, he couldn't help but say abruptly: "It was so naïve at that time, I thought that as long as I went to the battlefield, it would be a sacrifice, and this credit should have my share, I thought that as long as Zhou Rui was willing to give me his military exploits, I would be a real hero, it was ridiculous." ”

Thinking about it now, he just felt naïve and ridiculous.

Jiang Qingyue didn't smile this time, she looked at the smiling face of the second prince, who would have thought that this handsome and elegant man was once only one step away from the throne, only two days, originally two days later was his enthronement ceremony, he would become the most honorable man in the country, only two days away.

And now, he has become a prisoner, his mother is also under house arrest, and overnight, he has lost everything, and all of this is even inseparable from her, but he still smiles and talks and laughs with her.

If a person can only grow when he loses everything, then is the price of that growth too great?

"Your Highness, you must be very worried about the queen mother, right?" Jiang Qingyue asked softly.

"Then do you blame her?" The second prince asked with an obscure look in his eyes.

Jiang Qingyue raised his head and looked at him in amazement, at this moment, both of them were a little tacit, but they both knew that they understood each other, and some things didn't need to be said too bluntly, and they already knew it in their hearts.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "The emperor was strange when he died. ”

She didn't blame the queen, she transferred her, let her change from a princess with golden branches and jade leaves to an ordinary person, and separated her flesh and blood.

But Emperor Xuande died because of the queen, but she couldn't help but blame her.

The second prince moved the corners of his lips, he stretched out his hand and touched her head, his eyes showed a little tenderness: "Thank you, Qingyue, for being willing to come and see me." ”

Jiang Qingyue bit his lip: "Can I help you do something?" I ......"

The second prince's eyes flashed, as if he was struggling, and in the end, he spoke with humiliation: "I know, this is a reluctant invitation, but, I really can't help it, Qingyue ......" paused, he met Jiang Qingyue's gaze: "Qingyue, please save my mother!" She is just a woman and child, and she has no impact on Zhou Rui'an's major affairs, I just want to be able to spare her life, she has indeed done a lot of wrong things, but she is all for me. ”

Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips silently, the queen has done a lot of wrong things, this kind of wrong thing does not refer to her, or to Emperor Xuande, but she has endangered the people of the entire Dajing.

"I really want to promise you, but Your Highness, what about those soldiers who died in battle in Liuzhou?" Jiang Qingyue said softly.

The queen colluded with the Tatars and sold Dajing's weapons to the Tatars, and many of Dajing's soldiers died in the hands of weapons forged by their own people.

"If she is just the mother of Her Highness, I will give up this life, and I will also protect her!" Jiang Qingyue said solemnly: "But, thinking of those loyal souls in Liuzhou, I can't do it. ”

The second prince's eyes gradually dimmed.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the second prince smiled bitterly: "It's my request that is too much, but she is my mother." ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, because she didn't have a mother, she didn't know what it was like to be maintained by her mother, and she hadn't experienced what it was like to have a mother worry about her for everything, so she couldn't empathize with him.

It seemed that he understood the reason for Jiang Qingyue's silence, and the second prince stopped talking, but fortunately, the housekeeper brought wine and food and put them on the table.

The moon hung in mid-air, shining on this small pavilion, and Jiang Qingyue and the second prince sat face to face.

They used to drink together a lot, and they used to have a hangover together.

The second prince picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Qingyue: "This cup is respectful, we can still sit together and drink!" ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly and drank the wine.

The second prince wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and was silent for a while, before he said: "The matter of the queen mother, I forced it," paused, and he said: "My queen mother is proud all her life, and if she fails, it is better to live than die for her, I will accompany her on the road, and each other also has a companion, otherwise I will die, and I will leave her alone in the world, and I will not be at ease." ”

Jiang Qingyue's brows sank: "I won't let you die." ”

The second prince shook his head with a smile, this smile is meaningful, it is happy Jiang Qingyue's maintenance of her, and it is also laughing at Jiang Qingyue's innocence.

Zhou Rui'an can't leave him alive anyway, he is a man, and he is the only son of Emperor Xuande, his identity is a threat, with Zhou Rui'an's old scheming, it is impossible to leave him as a bane, cutting the grass and eradicating the root is the practice of smart people.

At this point, even if Jiang Qingyue personally interceded for him, Zhou Ruian would not show mercy to his subordinates.

However, he didn't plan to explain this to Jiang Qingyue, he didn't have much time left, and he didn't want to waste it on these meaningless things.
