In the middle of summer, it is said that it will change. It was still hot just now, but after a thunderclap, the wind began to blow, and it was about to rain.

Wan Dabao walked out of the Mingguang Palace, saw the figure in front of the hall, and walked over quickly.

"Your Highness the Prince," he saluted with a smile, "Your Majesty please." ”

Prince Jiang Sheng smiled: "There is Father-in-law Lao." And he walked to the gate of the temple.

Jiang Sheng is forty in twenty this year and is the emperor's concubine. He has a dignified appearance, bright eyes, a little similar to Emperor Taizu, and a peaceful personality, modest and polite.

Such a crown prince, whether it is an emperor or a courtier, has nothing to find fault with. Even if the queen has passed away, Jiang Sheng's position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

Jiang Sheng entered the Mingguang Palace, bowed his head and bowed: "The son of the minister bows to see his father." ”

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Flat, give a seat." ”

Jiang Sheng thanked him, sat on the brocade stool, and listened to the emperor ask him: "It's so late, is there anything wrong with Sheng'er coming?" ”

Jiang Sheng's eyes drooped slightly, and when he saw that there seemed to be a pair of embroidered shoes behind the screen, his heart sank slightly, and he said, "It's the cousin of the Wen family." Erchen shouldn't have come to disturb his father so late, but his cousin couldn't return home for a long time, the old lady Chengenhou couldn't afford to be ill, and there was no news from Jingzhao Mansion, so Erchen came to ask for advice. ”

The emperor nodded: "I see. What is the situation of the old lady? ”

Jiang Sheng replied: "It's not a serious illness, it's just that the old lady is old, and the sons can't help but worry." ”

Hearing him say this, the emperor was very pleased: "The old lady is your grandmother, and you should be worried." However, didn't Jiang Qing hurry up and deal with the matter of finding people? What do you want to ask for? ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Master Jiang is a young talent, but he has just taken over the position of Fu Yin, and if something like this happens, it is inevitable that he will be in a hurry." Erchen found out the news that the disappearance of his cousin was most likely caused by the beggars in the capital. The father also knew that the beggar gang had long been a pest in the capital, but it was a pity that the successive dynasties of the palace had not been able to clean it up. Erchen was brave and wanted to ask his father to issue a decree, and Rong Erchen investigated the matter thoroughly. ”

After a pause, he continued: "There are countless nobles in the capital, and the various forces are intricate. Although Master Jiang is capable, after all, he is only a civil servant, and he may not be able to withstand those pressures. If there is a father's will in hand, the son can run an errand as a prince, and he can sweep it away with the power of thunder. In the past few days, as long as Erchen thinks of what may happen to his cousin, his heart is like a knife. I only hope that in the future, no woman will suffer such a fate. ”

The emperor smiled: "I am very comforted that you have this heart. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng's heart was relieved, thinking that what he was asking for was nine out of ten, but who knew that the emperor's next sentence was: "However, I have already arranged this matter." Jiang Qing has a difficulty, I understand, I have called the assistant of the Imperial City Division, and the problem you are worried about will not happen. ”

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Father ......"

The emperor waved his hand and did not give him a chance to speak: "Okay, it's late at night, you go back and rest." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the pen again and reviewed it.

Jiang Sheng had nothing to say, so he had to get up and leave.

Out of the Mingguang Palace, it was already raining heavily.

Wan Dabao caught up: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the rain is too strong, why don't you go to the side hall to rest for a while before leaving?" ”

Jiang Sheng said lightly: "No need, it's just a little wind and rain." ”

There was already a raincoat sent by the palace people, Jiang Sheng put it on, stepped into the rain curtain, and strode towards the palace gate.

His face was calm, but his heart was like rain, and the torrent was turbulent.

has been called the assistant of the Imperial City Division, isn't it just in the hands of the surname Yang? The leader of the Imperial City Division is an old man next to the emperor, who has not been in good health in the past few years, and he has long been a director. The surname Yang is just mentioning points on the surface, but in fact, he controls it single-handedly.

What the hell was the Emperor thinking? The position of the Imperial City Division is not very high, but it is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven and is not subject to anyone. Does he trust that kid like that?

Jiang Sheng's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of his childhood.

When his father ascended the throne at the age of six, he was named the crown prince, and he always thought that he was his father's favorite child.

Even though the relationship between the father and the queen mother is weak, they have never snubbed him. None of the other royal brothers and sisters can take away his favor.

I don't know when this situation has changed.

The aunt of the Marquis of Boling often brings her young grandson into the palace, and that kid is born well, and no one can love it when she sees it.

He is much older than that kid, and he is an uncle, so of course he will not compete with him for favor.

But later I realized that I was wrong.

He remembered eight years ago.

The queen mother was not in good health and was finally bedridden.

He waited for the sick day and night, and saw his mother in a state of limp.

The queen mother has a gentle temperament, and she will not fight or grab all her life, even if her father favors Pei Guifei, she is not impatient.

But that night, the queen mother returned to the light, crying and scolding again.

cried and said that his father was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he had been married for 20 years, but he had no love between husband and wife. scolded Pei Guifei again, shamelessly, she hooked up with her husband's uncle, and even entered the palace as a concubine, and gave birth to a wild seed.

Jiang Sheng was stunned.

No one ever dared to say those things in front of him.

He looked at his mother, who had always been kind and gentle, and cursed the wild seed.

That day, he finally understood why his father doted on that kid so much.

He was not his cousin, but his younger brother.

Is...... It's disgusting.

Later, he learned that this secret was not a secret among the nobles for a long time.

But he couldn't ignore it, he couldn't ask.

This is the ugly thing of the father, what does he mean when he asks as a son?

But he was still not angry.

In the past, no matter how much my father spoiled that kid, he only spoiled a kitten and a puppy. He is now older, and if he continues to be spoiled, who knows what duties will be handed over to him.

"Your Highness."

Jiang Sheng stood in front of the palace gate, raised his head, and showed a ruthlessness in his eyes that never appeared in front of people: "Go back to the palace!" ”

……

The next day, Mingwei was robbed on the way to school.

She asked Lei Hong, who came to pick up people: "Are you finally going to summon spirits?" ”

Lei Hong didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "There is Miss Lao Ming." ”

"But I'm going to the academy......"

Lei Hong said: "It's just a small thing, we will help ask for leave." ”

Mingwei nodded and got into the carriage.

After a short time, the carriage drove directly into the palace.

She followed Lei Hong into the morgue and saw the bones that had been cleaned up.

The work of the government is not to eat dry food, hundreds of bones, all that can be spelled out.

She begged for gloves, looked at a few bones, and said, "The craftsmanship is good." ”

Lei Hong said: "They didn't sleep for a few days before they spelled it out." These corpses, the time of death is approaching, which is convenient for the girl to summon spirits. ”

Mingwei didn't do it immediately, but made a request: "I want to see Master Jiang first." ”

"Adults are busy these days, if the girl has something, why don't you tell me?"

Mingwei shook his head: "This matter must be told to Master Jiang." ”
