The old gentleman regretted it a little, he knew that the fourth prince was in danger, so he agreed.

Song Wanyue comforted, "You did the right thing, if the second grandfather becomes the crown prince, it will only give the emperor an extra bargaining chip to deal with us." ”

Song Yin echoed, "Only for now, we have to find a way to find out what day he asked Master Jingfan to count." ”

"I have some friendship with Master Jingfan, I will immediately write a letter, and you will take it to Qianshan Temple tomorrow morning."

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he was about to get up to write a letter, but was stopped by Song Yin.

"Since he has become suspicious, maybe he secretly left someone on the mountain, we should not act rashly at this moment, don't worry, I have a way."

The old gentleman also thought of writing a letter in a hurry, and when he said this, he also felt that it was inappropriate, so he sat down again. I opened my mouth to ask him what he could do, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back and instructed, "Be careful and protect yourself." ”

The two should go down.

After having dinner with the old gentleman, they went back to the house.

……

In the dead of night, the people of the Xu Mansion fell into a deep sleep.

Song Yin came out of his room, walked to Song Wanyue's door, and knocked lightly.

The door was immediately opened, Song Wanyue walked out, and the two walked hand in hand to the wall, jumped over, and disappeared into the night.

……

Sun Qi hasn't slept yet, the excitement of seeing his former brothers today has not calmed down yet, seventeen years, the brothers have changed from a childish young man to a burly man today, although his appearance has changed, the desire to avenge the prince has never changed.

He also had a hunch that Song Yin would come to him tonight.

He specially asked people to light two lamps in the study to brighten up the room.

The servants of the house were ordered to rest early.

Now that the time has passed, it is time for Song Yin to come.

He suppressed his excitement and listened with bated breath to the movement outside.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and he immediately got up and walked over to open the door, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw two people instead of one.

He didn't expect Song Wanyue to come over.

Song Wanyue nodded at him.

Sun Qi reacted, nodded back, got out of the way, and closed the door after the two entered the house, and his curious eyes fell on Song Wanyue.

He still saw her once a few years ago when Song Wanyue entered the palace to sue the royal court, at that time Song Wanyue was completely a little girl who had not yet opened, and he also sweated for this little girl at that time, so he didn't know how thick the sky was, and he didn't know what would happen.

Seeing him looking straight at Song Wanyue, Song Yin frowned slightly and knocked on the table.

Sun Qi's heart froze, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, and told him about today's incident in Qianshan Temple, and said after speaking, "I didn't know in advance, and Huang De told me when I got to the foot of the mountain." I felt bad at the time, so I ordered my men in advance, no matter what they found, to tell them not to make a noise, just come and tell me. It's also fortunate that the emperor fell asleep at that time, otherwise it would be troublesome. ”

He is still afraid when he thinks about it, if the emperor didn't fall asleep at that time, and Huang Gonggong followed him, he would definitely not be able to hide the secret matter.

"This time my cousin was negligent, I have instructed Uncle Hu to send two people to secretly guard the courtyard when I go back early tomorrow morning."

For so many years, no one had ever approached that courtyard, and they were indeed careless.

"I'm here today to ask you a favor."

"Son, please speak."

Song Yin glanced at him and did not correct his title.

"After you enter the palace today, I want to ask the four princes, what day is Master Jingfan?"

"Okay."

After finishing the matter, Song Yin took Song Wanyue's hand, "Let me introduce you, my fiancée, Song Wanyue." ”

Seeing his unabashedly movements, the corners of Sun Qi's mouth twitched, and he greeted cooperatively, "Hello Miss Song, I'm Sun Qi." ”

"Commander Sun is good."

Song Wanyue nodded generously, and did not be as blessed as other girls.

Of course, she didn't dare to accept it even if she saw Sun Qi.

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, and her appearance is even more first-class and good-looking. Sun Qi didn't understand how Song Yin could be fascinated by a country girl before, but now he knows. It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and Song Yin is no exception.

"I'll write you a note, and you will hand it over to the four princes tomorrow."

……

Today is the sixth day of the first month, and before the beginning of the morning court, the palace gate opened an hour late, and Sun Qimao entered the palace when he took people to inspect it as usual, and then let others continue to inspect, and walked slowly along the palace wall.

A small eunuch came out of the door on one side and stood there and bowed to make way.

When Sun Qi walked by him, he handed out two notes, the little eunuch took them, quickly held them in his hands, waited for him to go away, turned back to the side door, found a secluded place, opened it and took a look, crumpled one of the notes, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and took the other one to the palace of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was about to go to his mother's palace and called someone to come in and help him change his clothes.

Two little eunuchs came in with low eyebrows, one of them went to get his clothes, and the other moved a step, blocking the man's view, and held the note in his hand in front of the four princes.

Looking at the familiar words on the note, the fourth prince opened his mouth silently without hesitation, "Eighteen." ”

The little eunuch saw it clearly, quickly put away the note, took a step back, and waited for the man to come over and change the clothes of the four princes together.

When the fourth prince left the palace, the little eunuch took advantage of no one and ran back to the side door, and compared an eighteen-eighteen gesture to Sun Qi, who was waiting there, Sun Qi nodded.

……

At noon, Sun Qi came out of the palace and passed the news to Song Yin.

A day later, there was a new rumor in Beijing that the emperor wanted to make the fourth prince the crown prince, so he went to Qianshan Temple to let Master Jingfan count the days.

When the news reached Zhu Zhihong's ears, his hand paused and looked at the housekeeper, "What day is the day outside?" ”

"Say it's the eighteenth of this month."

Zhu Zhihong put down the pen, picked up the half-written fold and put it into the brazier. Tomorrow will be the morning court, he and several ministers have agreed, tomorrow will be folded, ask the emperor to make a prince. Since the emperor has this thought, then this fold is useless.

However, such a major event as choosing an auspicious day has always been the business of Qin Tianjian, why did the emperor suddenly go to Master Jingfan?

……

The next morning.

Huang Gonggong, as before, said in a thin voice, "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Zhu Zhihong and Wan Yanming glanced at each other.

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that the emperor wants to make the fourth prince the crown prince, I don't know if the rumors are true or false?"

"It's true, I went to Qianshan Temple and asked Master Jingfan, and he said that the fourth prince is talented, intelligent, benevolent, and benevolent, and he is the best candidate to be the prince, I ......"

A little eunuch walked in quickly, whispered a few words in Huang Gonggong's ear, Huang Gonggong's face changed, and he walked quickly to the emperor,

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the four princes have smallpox!"
