The fourth prince said in a deep voice: "If you don't believe it, I dare to swear to you, if Xie Mengyang really does things for me when he is in the Jingwei Office, he will make me have no chance to sit in that position in this life!" ”

This oath is not unmischievous for an ambitious prince.

Mo Xuanchen was obviously also shocked by his oath, and then the suspicion on his face was relieved, and his expression eased.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this." Mo Xuanchen said.

The fourth prince said in a deep voice: "I just don't want you to misunderstand me, there is a conflict of interest between me and my eldest brother, he is afraid that he will be happy to see you and me as enemies, and it is best to fight hard, but there are some things that have not been done, and I will never carry the black pot for the Xie family." ”

Mo Xuanchen's expression was relaxed: "I believe in Your Highness." ”

The four princes were relieved.

Mo Xuanchen said: "Actually, I don't really believe in the words of the eldest prince, after all, I have no grievances with His Royal Highness, and it is no good for you to harm me, besides, the Xie family is close to you, even if you really want to harm my life, you should find someone you don't know, otherwise if something happens to the Xie family, whether Your Majesty or I will be the first to suspect you." ”

"How could Your Highness be so stupid?"

The Fourth Prince: "......"

There is an into.

He actually regretted that he listened to his mother's words that day and asked Xie Xuan to do these things, if someone else did it, even if Mo Xuanchen escaped, he would not fall into such a predicament.

The fourth prince felt remorse in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, but said quite agreeably: "That's the reason." ”

Mo Xuanchen frowned and said: "It's just that Xie Yi will never target Ah Jin and the Song family for no reason, I always feel that the Xie family is strange about this." ”

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, I was drugged with Ah Jin in the Mansion of Marquis Wenyuan that day, and my second uncle's people were fishing in troubled waters and wanted to destroy me, but Ah Jin was Xie Hui on the other side of the Song family's three girls, and this matter seemed to be directed at Ah Jin from beginning to end."

"Ah Jin's family background is simple, her parents have died, and she has only been in Beijing for a few months, it stands to reason that she can't provoke the Xie family, why did the Xie family calculate and harm her so much?"

The four princes not only did not get nervous when they listened to Mo Xuanchen's words, but they really relaxed.

If Mo Xuanchen didn't mention the Xie family's calculations, he would have to wonder if he was deliberately fooling him and trying to make him relax his vigilance, but he took the initiative to mention the Xie family's calculations Yun Jinchu, and even told him the "truth" of the day in the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, obviously Mo Xuanchen had already believed him.

The fourth prince said: "Is there such a thing? ”

Mo Xuanchen looked at him: "When His Highness visited Xie Hui that day, did you know anything from his mouth?" ”

The fourth prince shook his head: "No, I asked him about the Song family, and he refused to say anything, but I asked people to inquire about the people around him, saying that Xie Hui had been elusive for a while, and he secretly didn't know who to contact, and he suddenly targeted the princess and the princess, and he should have gone to the Song family." ”

"The Song family?"

"Song Shangshu is in charge of the household department, which is a thorn in the side of many people in the court, and there are many people who want to replace him, maybe someone wants to embarrass Song Shangshu by using the matter of Song Sanyu and the princess, or there are other plans."

"Your Highness means that Xie Yi was used as a knife?"

"I guess so."

Mo Xuanchen's face was not good: "Then who does Your Highness think it will be?" ”

When the four princes opened their mouths, they wanted to say that they were the eldest princes, and they had the intention to lead the affairs of the Xie family to them, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that this matter could not be done too obviously, so he could only change his words and say: "I don't know about this, but if you want to deal with Song Shangshu, the left is just for the power of the household department." ”

"It may be that he wants to be promoted to replace Song Shangshu, or he may want to take the household department for his own use and feel that Song Shangshu is an eyesore, and I can't guess who it is for a while."

After finishing talking about half-truths and half-truths, he saw Mo Xuanchen thoughtful.

The fourth prince said: "But in the end, this matter has passed, the Xie family has lost a lot of luck, and even the eldest princess has suffered a loss from you, no matter who wants to deal with the Song family, it has not been good after all." ”

"You have a big joy today, don't think about these bad things, when I have the opportunity to go back, I will check it for you, or find a chance to ask Xie Mengyang, he can't hide the people behind his back when he suffers a big loss, turn around and ask him to open his mouth, and he can always find out the culprit in the secret."

Mo Xuanchen hurriedly heard this: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The fourth prince patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you, you have been in Beijing for many years, and you often go in and out of the palace, if it weren't for your illness and weakness in previous years, I would have wanted to make friends with you a long time ago, and it's not too late now." I really treat you as a friend before I have a heart-to-heart with you, and if you change someone, you see if I will take care of him. ”

Mo Xuanchen immediately laughed when he heard this.

The goal of the four princes tonight was achieved, and it was not an overnight thing to recruit Mo Xuanchen.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said with a smile: "Okay, it's so late, the bride is afraid that she will be in a hurry, so I won't delay you." ”

"I'll send His Highness out......"

"Don't send it, it's not that you don't know the way."

The fourth prince waved his hand and turned around to leave, when Mo Xuanchen suddenly spoke: "Your Highness." ”

"Huh?" The Four Princes turned back.

Mo Xuanchen hesitated and said: "It has been raining heavily in Beijing for more than a month, and the Lingjiang River is afraid that the embankment will burst." ”

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed instantly.

"Your Highness has a heart-to-heart for me, and I don't hide it from Your Highness."

Mo Xuanchen glanced to the side, and saw that there was no one around, and lowered his voice,

"A few days ago, I asked people to go to investigate the attack on the racecourse, passing through the Lingjiang branch outside the city, and found that the water level has risen in many places, and the water in many places has flooded the side embankments.

"Your Highness should know what is the flood storage capacity of the lower reaches of the Lingjiang River, although the Ministry of Industry is stationed on the embankment every year, but in fact, you also know how much money has been implemented in the middle of the bank, and in previous years, the rain was too little and no one noticed it, but if it is really because of too much rain this year, the embankment of the Lingjiang River bursts, then the Ministry of Industry ......"

Mo Xuanchen didn't say much, but the face of the fourth prince was already extremely ugly.

Mo Xuanchen whispered to him: "Earlier, I saw His Highness and Mo Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry getting close, this matter should be reminded earlier, in case there is really a flood, Mo Shangshu can't escape, and His Highness may also be implicated." ”

The heart of the fourth prince beat wildly: "Is this serious? ”

Mo Xuanchen said: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." ”

"You also know my situation in the capital, if it weren't for the sincerity with me when I saw His Highness, I wouldn't have been nosy and mentioned these things to you."

The hearts of the four princes were raised.

He just wanted to make a show to win Mo Xuanchen's trust, so that he could find a way to win him over, but he never expected to get such news.

The four princes' eyebrows were full of gloom, and he said in a deep voice towards Mo Xuanchen: "Thank you Mo Shizi for reminding me of this matter, I will let people investigate." ”

Mo Xuanchen advised: "If Your Highness wants to send people, you must be careful, you take care of the lives of the people, but others may not." ”

The fourth prince's face changed, and he understood the meaning of his words.

He didn't want his people to have an accident, so he would naturally remind the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to deal with it in advance, whether it was to repair the embankment or prevent the embankment from bursting, but they may not be like the eldest prince, if they also noticed the matter and took the opportunity to do something on the Lingjiang embankment, once the flood broke the embankment, they could easily replace the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and cut off his arm.

The fourth prince said in a deep voice: "I know. ”

The four princes left in a hurry with people, and there was still a little time to relax.

King Hui didn't know when he arrived next to Mo Xuanchen, stood under the verandah, looked at the direction where the four princes left, and said lightly: "He is treating you as a fool, he really thinks that a few words can coax you to believe him?" ”
