The moon hung on the treetops, the red lights hung high, and it was not until midnight that the big wedding banquet ended, but there was still an endless stream of people around Su Qingcheng.

Many dignitaries and dignitaries gathered around him to congratulate, and many civil and military generals who originally stood in the camp of other princes also seemed to have the intention of wooing.

The water flows low, and the people go high. It cannot be said that it is the power of the people's hearts, but that people are more willing to approach people or things that are beneficial to them.

After Jiang Cailing and Zhao talked for a while, they saw the tiredness in Su Qingcheng's eyebrows, so they said goodbye to Zhao and walked to his side, and said straight, "I'm a little tired, let's go back." ”

Su Qingcheng was also talking to these people in good spirits at this time, and now when he saw Jiang Cailing empatheticly appearing to relieve the siege, he naturally went down the steps, "I'm still young, and I still rely on your help for many things, it's not early, so let's go back to your home to rest." ”

As he spoke, he shook Jiang Cailing's hand and walked towards the carriage.

The ministers present did not have the slightest expression of displeasure, but all smiled and said: "The Ten Highnesses and the Ten Imperial Concubines are really as loving as the rumors say. ”

And among the female dependents, they also gossiped about Jiang Cailing and Su Qingcheng, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Tenth and the Ten Imperial Concubines had a big quarrel a while ago, and His Royal Highness took the beautiful concubine to the temple to seek fate in order to make the mother jealous. As a result, I figured it out after two nights, and went to Xie Hou's Mansion with thorns on my back to ask Niangniang for my guilt. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness Ten can't help but look handsome and extraordinary, and he is too good to say anything to Niangniang. In the nearly five months since he got married, except for the medical maid and concubine who married in order to repay the person who saved his life, he has not been close to any woman, and the county lord of Yunyang is really a blessing. ”

The fact that Jiang Cailing and Su Qingcheng can't hear these voices doesn't mean that others can't hear them.

Wu Xiaoyao, who listened to these words completely, had a resentful and vicious look in her beautiful eyes, what a Xie Yunyang, today was her wedding gift, it should have been her infinite scenery, and she should have been enviable, but the limelight was all robbed by that slut!

With poisonous eyes, he stared fiercely at Jiang Cailing's back, and thought faintly in his heart: Let you be proud for a while, now that she is the crown princess, she will not have a chance to kill you little slut in the future!

……

"Ahh Jiang Cailing sneezed, and Su Qingcheng in the same carriage was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but open his eyes and asked with concern: "Your illness is not well yet?" ”

Jiang Cailing rubbed her nose, "I guess the smell of rouge gouache I smelled just now is too strong." By the way, how did you come up with the idea to make glow-in-the-dark screens? ”

Su Qingcheng was embarrassed to say that it was because he was afraid of the dark, so he once asked the craftsman to create a luminous screen, so he only replied, "I thought of it by chance." ”

Jiang Cailing asked some details in detail, and planned to send a screen to someone she knew when she returned to Luoyang.

After a while, the oil lamp hanging on the roof of the carriage flickered on and off because of the lack of oil, and finally only a "snap" was heard, and the oil lamp was completely drained, and the carriage fell into darkness.

Su Qingcheng was afraid of the dark, and Jiang Cailing clearly remembered this incident on Qindao, and subconsciously reached out to pull him.

When the surroundings became dark, Su Qingcheng's heartbeat stopped, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily.

When he felt the warm touch on the back of his hand, as if the person who had fallen into the water had finally found a life-saving straw, Su Qingcheng changed from passive to active and took her hand, and when Jiang Cailing reacted that he was no longer the person whose IQ was five years old and wanted to withdraw his hand, his hand was already firmly held by him.

The carriage stopped and returned to the Ten Princes' Mansion.

The coachman who drove the car leaned into the curtain with an oil lamp, and the darkness was suddenly illuminated by the light, and when Su Qingcheng was stunned, Jiang Cailing used all her strength to break free of Su Qingcheng's big hand, and got out of the carriage with her skirt alone.

She secretly scolded herself for owing her hands, how could she do it too much. Su Qingcheng's fear of darkness should be a matter that few people know, if they hadn't gotten along with Qin Island for a while before, they might not have known about it for the rest of their lives.

Su Qingcheng was also a suspicious person, if he asked why he knew that he was afraid of the dark, she would never be able to mention the matter on Qin Island.

And Su Qingcheng was still a little distracted, the moment the back of his hand was warm just now, a lot of pictures appeared in his mind, and unlike before, this time the picture had a clear image, including the hazy woman - that was He Ling'er's appearance!

How could it be her?

He was about to think deeply, but who knew that his brain suddenly seemed to be a sharp ice blade in his brain, and it was extremely painful, and he finally sorted out the clues that would soon become clear, but in this way, the picture became blurry again.

Even from the picture just now, he had already begun to wonder if it was his own fantasy.

……

Months have passed, Du Nianyu has been extraordinarily honest recently, there has been no wind and grass, it is estimated that he spent three days with Su Qingcheng in the temple last time, so he has a bottom in his heart, and he did not use some small means.

Su Qingcheng has been on the rise, and in three months, he has been more and more appreciated by the Chu Emperor, and before and after the prince's wedding, the Chu Emperor also handed over most of the things to Su Qingcheng to deal with, with excellent ability, and the things he explained were handled without leakage, and he won the favor of His Majesty.

In addition, there are more and more people in the court who support him, and there are also some people who want to stuff women into the palace of the Ten Princes. However, Su Qingcheng refused all, and such a move won the favor of everyone, and even some old ministers praised him.

However, Jiang Cailing is not as relaxed as the recent situation, on the contrary, as the days go by, the remaining time is getting less and less. As long as the Wang clan has not been destroyed for a day, she will feel uneasy for a day.

Especially His Majesty's recent attitude towards the Wang family, which is either a reward or a reward, even she began to wonder if Emperor Chu had never thought of bringing down the Wang family at all.

When she was frowning, He Xiaoxiao suddenly ran in in a panic and hurriedly spoke, "Ling'er, there is news from the palace, saying that something has happened to His Royal Highness the Tenth!" ”

"What?" Jiang Cailing frowned, "Don't worry, slowly tell what happened?" ”

He Xiaoxiao took a big breath, "The silver mine in Pingjin collapsed during the mining process, and one hundred and thirty-two people were buried in it. The local people's grievances were boiling, and the local county magistrate saw that the matter could not be concealed, so he reported it to the imperial court.

There are witnesses and physical evidence that can directly prove that this matter is caused by the corruption of the imperial court funds and the reduction of the anchorage of the protective iron plate, His Majesty has ordered Zeng Ziyang to investigate, as for the Ten Highnesses, he has been grounded in the palace before the matter is investigated. ”

The mining of the silver mine in Pingjin began to be excavated after Su Qingcheng took office, and Su Qingcheng has always been extremely cautious in dealing with gold, silver and copper mines, and it is strictly forbidden to cut corners and mine too much, how can such a large-scale landslide occur?

From ancient times to the present, once a mineral landslide is a big deal, especially when it comes to bribery. There are many officials who have been dismissed or exiled for poor governance, and the Zhou state has taken this matter very seriously throughout the ages.

This matter is a huge blow to Su Qingcheng's plan to ascend the throne, Su Qingcheng can't have an accident, she has finally come to this point, how can all her efforts be wasted because of this frame-up?

Su Qingcheng can afford to wait for the comeback, but she can't wait, Gu Jiming's body can't wait!

Jiang Cailing's face was solemn, she tidied up her clothes a little, her apricot eyes no longer had the wisdom of the past, she got up and said, "Follow me into the palace to face the saint, I suspect that this matter was done by someone from the East Palace, this matter must not be carried by the black pot!" ”

He Xiaoxiao knew that Jiang Cailing was already flustered, and stretched out her hand to stabilize her, "You sober up, we have no evidence." ”

Jiang Cailing put all the bets on Su Qingcheng's body, and the matter was already halfway through, she would not allow such a thing to happen, and her mood inevitably fluctuated greatly, and she lost her previous calm and sobriety.

When Jiang Cailing heard this, she tried her best to calm herself, and her dim eyes suddenly lit up, "Ah Xiao, you help me prepare a fast horse, I want to rush to Chengxiang Town before Zeng Ziyang arrives!" ”
