In the imperial study room of the Hades Palace, Yan Ming looked at the account books on the bookcase, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yang Ming, throw this thing into the palace, since they don't want to do it well, then they should also taste it." ”

Shi Yun returned to his room, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and couldn't sleep for a long time, "How can you let me in?" ”

This night is destined to be sleepless for many people.

The prince thought that today's events were enough to disturb him, but he didn't expect that the things that made him even more annoying had just begun.

"Your Highness, the people on the mountain have come down, and they have been destroyed by unknown people, and now everything in it is gone." Zhang Lin's voice became lower and lower, how important that place was to the prince, he knew better than anyone else, what to do now, he didn't know what to do.

The crown prince's whole body was blinded, he never thought that that place would be discovered, "What about the account books?" ”

"It's gone."

"Waste, a bunch of waste, who is the other party, what clues can be found?" The teacup in his hand was smashed and shattered, and the prince's face was flushed and angry.

Zhang Lin shook his head and quickly knelt on the ground, and now the prince's whole person was like a deflated ball, without half of his energy.

Early the next morning, the queen rushed to the imperial study with people, which was just before the emperor went to court.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty said, no one will see it." The chief eunuch Cui Gonggong who was waiting beside the emperor stretched out his hand to stop the queen who had already arrived at the door, with a faint smile on his face.

The queen frowned, and Cailan was also unconvinced, "Grandpa Cui, isn't your old man old and confused, do you dare to stop the queen?" Aren't you really afraid of losing your head? ”

"Hey, Miss Cailan, you and I are both serving people, you obey the queen's orders, and our family is indeed the person next to Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that no one will be seen, so don't embarrass the old slave!" Cui's father-in-law's words were smooth, and the smile on his face did not decrease but increased.

The queen had a straight face, and the whole person was unhappy, and it happened that Yun Guifei came out of it and saw the queen, and saluted elegantly and generously, "The concubine is a concubine to ask for peace!" ”

Isn't it that no one is missing? Who's out there? The queen was furious, "Presumptuous, didn't Your Majesty say that no one will be seen?" How are you in there? ”

The emperor went out, and when he heard the empress's scathing voice, coupled with what he saw in the middle of the night last night, anger rose from his heart, "Empress, pay attention to your words and deeds, mother of the world, that's what you did?" Since you don't want to be a queen, it's better to let Xian, hum! ”

The emperor left the court, Yun Guifei saluted and turned around and left, leaving the queen and her party alone in their hearts resentful and full of anger.

"The prince is here?" On the top of the main hall, all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank were all present, Yan Ming and the prince stood under the throne of the Gaotai Emperor on the left and right, although Yan Ming had a straight face, it was not difficult to see that his face was full of spring and he was in a good mood.

The crown prince did impose his composure, although he couldn't see anything on the outside, but his eyes were really wandering, and he was obviously worried about something.

The Emperor's voice now sounded like a poison in the Prince's ears, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

"The son is here." It was not difficult to hear a slight tremor in the prince's voice with these three words, and he had already figured out a solution in his heart at this time.

The emperor's eyes were serious, and his eyes looked at the prince with a thick look, and the prince at this time seemed to him as if he didn't know him at all.

"Prince, you are the concubine of the middle palace, and you should be an example for the prince in your daily life, I want to ask you, do you know what mistakes you made?" A child who has made a mistake is also a child, his own son, the emperor still wants to give him a chance, if this time he can admit his mistake and explain the situation, the emperor does not want to punish more.

After Yan Ming heard the emperor's words, he sneered in his heart, "Hmph, concubine, have you seen it?" This is the man you love deeply, you always have too many scruples about doing things, if it wasn't for his hesitation, you would never die. ”

What Yan Ming can hear, the prince can naturally hear it, and the ministers below can naturally hear it, Gao Yu, the squire of the military department, is the queen's biological eldest brother, the prince's uncle, and he is involved in many of the prince's affairs, he has long known the things on the mountain, during this time, he has not found out who leaked the news, I thought that this matter would not be known by the emperor, but I didn't expect it to be able to escape, he has already thought about it, if the emperor really has any punishment, He will bear everything, the crown prince is the hope of their family, and there must be no mistakes.

However, the emperor's questioning was obviously not intended to be punished heavily, Gao Yu's heart was also in his stomach, and the ministers who supported the prince were also relieved one by one, but he was very scared just now.

"Father, the child knows that it is wrong, the child knows that the treasury is empty, so he privately appoints someone to build weapons, sell Tianling Kingdom, and earn two taels of silver, the child originally planned to hand it over in a few days, who knows who knows who knows about it, the armory is destroyed, the child knows that it is wrong, father, the child will never dare again." The crown prince fell to his knees, his voice trembling, showing his fear, because only in this way could the emperor feel even more distressed, after all, it was his own child.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at the appearance of the crown prince, and he had lost a lot of anger, if he was angry when he saw the ledger in the second half of the night yesterday, then it was already a little bit of spark now, "Hmph, no matter what reason you have, as the crown prince who privately builds weapons and sells them to the enemy country, punishment is inevitable." ”

As soon as the ministers heard that the Son of Heaven was going to be punished, some people were overjoyed, some people were anxious, and those who were in a hurry quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also for the sake of the imperial court, although the approach is wrong, but the original intention is still good, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him lightly." Gao Yu was the first to speak, and with him taking the lead, those who supported him hurriedly spoke. I beg your majesty to be gracious. ”

The emperor knows very well in his heart who did this, he believes that the prince's party also knows it, if he is punished lightly now, it will obviously make the prince's party arrogant, but if he is punished heavily, he can't bear it, and his tangled heart can't make up his mind for a long time.

Yan Ming looked at the emperor's appearance and said slowly, "Father, the crown prince should be punished for doing such a thing..."

Before he finished speaking, the prince looked at Yan Ming with cold eyes, and the resentment in his eyes was like a surging river.

"His Royal Highness the Hades King, the crown prince is indeed doing this...."Gao Yu's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Yan Ming, "Lord Gao is in a hurry, this king has not finished speaking, father, the prince should be punished, but it is the first offense, so punish him for thinking about it, just tap the silver taels, and hand it over to the treasury." ”

Yan Liang actually didn't intend to hand over all the silver taels at all, because those were a lot of wealth, recruiting troops and horses, and playing left and right, where was there no need for silver taels? To ask him to hand it over is to ask him for half a lifeline.

The emperor glanced at Yan Liang's painful appearance and thought to himself, 'Let him have a good memory, otherwise how will he inherit the unification in the future?' Although the emperor felt guilty about Concubine Li, but the eldest son succeeded to the throne, he never thought of changing, no matter how much he loved Yan Ming, he never thought about it, even now he thinks about letting Yan Ming work for him in the future, brother and brother Gong, is what he wants most.

"In that case, the prince, you will hand over all the silver taels, reflect on your own affairs in the East Palace, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for a month."

A month is not a long time, but for the prince, it is a long wait.

Yan Ming's face was expressionless, Yan Ming's conscience was disheartened, he Yan Ming had always been favored, but now he was locked up directly with one sentence, which made Yan Ming's heart cold and heartbroken, "Yes, father." ”

Yan Ming's words made the emperor lock people up, and also made the prince completely dead to the emperor, Yan Ming knew the emperor, but Yan Liang only understood himself.

Yan Hao was also in the court, but he never spoke, at this time he was a bystander looking at everything in front of the father and son, and sneered in his heart, "Fight, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, let you both lose, and at that time, it will be my world." ”

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" On the street, Nalan Xiao took the maid for a walk, but her brows were tightly locked, and she didn't look happy at all.

The maid who followed beside her looked at her and frowned and asked.

Nalan Xiao was thinking about the prince in her mind, and the matter of the prince being locked up was already known to everyone, and she was worried, which was understandable.

Hearing the maid ask, Nalan Xiao came back to his senses, turned his head, and wanted to answer, when suddenly a carriage in front of him rushed towards the two of them out of control.

In a panic, Nalan Xiao thought that she was dead, but she didn't expect a person to fall from the sky and pull her aside.

Falling into a solid and warm embrace, Nalan Xiao only felt that his body felt as if he had fallen into a cloud.

"Miss, are you alright?" The maid ran over in a panic, looking anxious.

Hearing the voice, Nalan Xiao came back to his senses and quickly withdrew from his solid embrace.

"Thank you Childe for saving me, I don't know Childe...... Nalan Xiao was halfway through her words, and when she looked up, she found that the person who saved her was a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Hades King, Yang Ming.

Yang Ming let go of the person and turned around and walked in the direction where Yan Ming was.

Nalan Xiao didn't expect to meet them, and now is an opportunity.

"This son, just saved the little girl, I don't know how to repay the little girl?" Nalan Xiao quickly caught up with Yang Ming and said softly.

Yan Ming looked at Nalan Xiao expressionlessly, making her feel as if she was frozen in ice.

Yang Ming looked back at Nalan Xiao and frowned slightly, "This girl, saving you is just a gesture, and there is no need to repay you." ”

Nalan Xiao knew that it was difficult to enter the Hades Mansion, but now that she had this opportunity, she naturally couldn't give up, "The grace of saving each other is greater than the sky, and this woman is bound to need to be repaid." ”
