Emperor Qingming came out of Kunning Palace, and the moment the palace door was closed, the warm smile on his face disappeared, and the yin owl was cold.

He glanced coldly at the two eunuchs at the door, "Take it away."

The two of them were like ashes, and they were escorted away by the Royal Forest Army who rushed up in an instant.

Two more tall eunuchs stood in their place, swordsmen in their hands.

When Emperor Qingming returned to the Qianqing Palace, he met the Queen Mother and the Lin family.

He looked at the note and recognized it as Concubine De's handwriting.

Emperor Qingming sent King Chengjun to take people to the Three Princes' Mansion to verify, and in the evening, King Chengjun returned, and the shock in his eyes, which had always been calm.

When he raided the Yongping Marquis Mansion last year, he thought that it was already the peak of his life, and he would never see more gold and silver in this life.

Unexpectedly, after only three months, the three princes set a new record.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret passage under the Buddha statue in Jin'an Hall, and there are more than 2,000 boxes of gold bricks piled up inside, as well as a lot of jewelry. The ministers have re-sealed the place and sent people to guard it."

As he spoke, he presented a gold brick to Emperor Qingming, "A box is twelve gold bricks, and I took one of them."

Emperor Qingming took the gold brick, and his hand sank down. A gold brick weighs at least two hundred taels and more than two thousand chests, and there are five million taels of gold to say the least.

He put the gold brick on the dragon case, looked at the plum blossom mark on it, and his eyes became a little colder.

He has ten boxes of this gold brick here.

That year, General Cen came back from a great victory in the north, and it was the time when he robbed Qiao Kun of his credit, not only retreating from the enemy but also seizing a city from the other side, and this gold brick was the trophy.

At the age of fifteen, the prince had to leave the palace to build a mansion and live separately.

The Three Princes' Mansion began to be built ten years ago, and the Ministry of Industry was responsible for building it for four years. In the last year, General Cen returned triumphantly and said that he would personally supervise the construction, which could be regarded as his heart for his sister and the third prince.

Because he had just made military achievements, Emperor Qingming agreed to his unreasonable request.

Unexpectedly, he was to take the opportunity of building a mansion to hide these gold bricks in the Three Princes' Mansion. At that time, the horse-drawn carts pulling stone and sand came and went in the house every day, and digging underground tunnels and transporting gold bricks were very hidden.

I'm afraid that this golden mountain is the capital they prepared for the rebellion of the three princes, right?

Concubine De was dying, and she wanted to leave Jinshan to the children of the third prince as the capital for a comeback, but what she entrusted was not a person, and the Lin family's mind was not on it at all.

Emperor Qingming instructed King Chengjun, "Send more people to guard it, and tomorrow together with the household department, count the things and pull them to the treasury."

"Yes!" King Chengjun retreated.

Emperor Qingming looked at the trembling woman kneeling on the ground, and asked the same question as the Queen Mother, "This Jinshan Concubine is for you, don't you want it?"

Ah Xiu also gave the same answer, "Back to the emperor, the slave maid just wants His Royal Highness to live. As long as His Royal Highness is alive, the slaves and maids will be happy to accompany him to eat chaff and vegetables."

Emperor Qingming looked at her for a moment.

Other things can be faked, but real money cannot be faked. If she knelt at the gate of the palace and begged him before, she was still suspicious, or what kind of strategy the King of Jin had, but now she believed her.

It is his blessing that such a pure-minded woman follows the third prince. If Concubine De could be so peaceful, the three princes would not have come to this point.

At dinner, the news from the palace reached the Jin Palace.

Han Youning couldn't care about eating, listening to Ye Chang finish the news one after another, the exclamation in his eyes couldn't be hidden. But Zhao Chengyuan, who was sitting opposite, did not move, and ate calmly.

After Ye Changyu finished reporting, he found that his prince used a lot of food, but he avoided the nourishing things that accounted for half of the country on the dining table.

It's like the roast lamb kidney, which is beautifully shaped, full of flavor and bubbling on a small stove, and is abandoned there, how pity?

It's no wonder that Aunt Sun has been depressed recently, and he and Luo Ping also feel that there are more dishes in the small kitchen, and they are really embarrassed to be served out for them every meal

Some bachelors.

It turned out that it wasn't Aunt Sun who made a lot, but the prince didn't eat it at all! Just so confident?

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Ye Chang, who was about to flow out of his saliva, "If you want to eat, take it away."

"Okay!"

Ye Chang put the roast lamb loin on a plate, followed a plate of venison buns, and retreated upside down.

Aunt Sun in the courtyard sighed heavily when she saw what Ye Chang was holding in her hand.

She worriedly went to Mama Wu's room in the back cover room, "It's okay if you take a bite, and you won't be able to call for water for half a month."

Mama Wu is in charge of Yongxi Hall, so she naturally knows about it. Seeing that the relationship between the husband and wife is also very good, I don't know how the prince can bear to be Liu Xia Hui.

For this kind of thing, the housekeeper in the house next to her always has to remind the master a few words. However, the master of their house can't say, what he should do, I'm afraid no one knows better than him.

She said, "As long as the husband and wife are affectionate, this kind of thing will just go with the flow."

Aunt Sun sighed faintly, when will there be a little master.

Han Youning had a lot of doubts in her heart, but Zhao Chengyuan saw that she refused to eat, but he didn't answer her.

He put a plate of fish meat with the thorns in front of her, "Eat obediently, I'll tell you later."

Han Youning knew that his domineering was related to her meal, and he would not compromise. She had no choice but to keep chopsticks, and ran out of food.

She followed behind Zhao Chengyuan and went to the inner room, "How can the prince be sure that Concubine De will hand over the rich family assets to Ah Xiu?"

Zhao Chengyuan sat on the couch and beckoned her to sit beside him, "Naturally, someone went to remind her, that is the reward for saving people."

Han Youning's eyes flashed, Zhao Chengyuan has an internal response in the palace?

Then I felt that it was not strange, how could he be safe and sound, how could he not have a few helpers in the palace.

"Then how can the prince be sure that Ah Xiu will give this golden mountain to the Queen Mother?"

"I'm not sure about this, if she hands it over to the Queen Mother, she really wants to save the third prince, then it's good to continue. If she doesn't save it, she will get the money and give up the third prince, and she will live her life well, what else do you have to worry about?"

Han Youning smiled, "Yes, that's right."

That Ah Xiu's temperament is commendable. How else to say it, it's the daughter of Yu Niang?

Han Youning asked a few more questions, and began to sigh about the emperor's ruthlessness towards Concubine De, as well as the rather mysterious queen.

She leaned on Zhao Chengyuan's shoulder, and fell asleep while talking.

The moonlight was shining, and the clear light of the eaves moon fell on the girl's face, covering her with a thin layer of floating light, which was greasy and white.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his hand and plucked the two hairpins on her bun, and the black hair poured down like smooth silk, outlining a graceful arc in front of the placket.

His eyes fell on the scattered cherry blossoms on the placket of his clothes, white and pink, and the jade white between the girl's neck, exuding a faint and warm fragrance.

The girl's head arched in his arms, and the fragrance grew stronger, lingering between his noses.

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, he withdrew his gaze, held his heart and picked up a book to read.
