"Prince?" Zhao Liuyin's face changed, and he immediately said worriedly, "But how do you persuade the prince to help us? It's hard to persuade the queen alone."

Zhao Hongzhen sighed helplessly and explained, "As long as you go to the crown prince now and show that you want to help him deal with the regent, according to the strength of our Zhao family, there is a good chance that the prince's party will not refuse us. Whether this can be done or not depends on you." He directly took this heavy responsibility on Zhao Liuyin's body, so that she couldn't refuse.

"Okay, my daughter remembers." Zhao Liuyin actually didn't want to be involved with the prince's party, but now in order to resist the Geng family, she had to do so. Anyway, she thought that once she solved the trouble in front of her, she could turn against her, and at that time, the prince's party would not be able to do anything to her.

Zhao Hongzhen didn't know what his daughter thought, and was still relieved of her understanding, and then arranged for Zhao Liuyin to meet the prince, because this matter was really imminent.

After Zhao Hongzhen dealt with everything, Zhao Liuyin got into a carriage and came to a remote and uninhabited house in the city, saying that Ji Qirui was also waiting here. Sure enough, when she entered, she found a figure pacing around the room, looking a little anxious.

"The courtiers see His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the courtiers who are late, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't blame." Zhao Liuyin changed his reluctant appearance on the carriage just now, and knelt down to bow with a smile.

Hearing this, Ji Qirui hurriedly asked her to get up: "Hurry up, His Royal Highness has just arrived, Miss Zhao doesn't need to be polite." You may be seated." After that, let Rong bring a chair.

Zhao Liuyin looked at the dilapidated environment around him, and sat beside Ji Qirui with disgust. She didn't mention the matter of helping Ji Qirui in a hurry as Zhao Hongzhen explained, but greeted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worked hard in Sulou Town during this time, and now he is finally back."

"It's not hard work, thanks to the trust of my father, I will not be able to live up to my father by entrusting these matters to His Royal Highness. It's just that some things are too tricky and involve too much trouble, and His Highness must be fair and just, so he will not come back until this time." Ji Qirui said a little proudly.

In fact, he didn't know how to deal with it at all, and he didn't listen to the strategies of Rong and others, but he was afraid that the emperor would think he was useless, so he put it off again and again, as if he really encountered tricky things, and finally waited until the people sent by the emperor to help, so he hurriedly solved these things and was able to return to the imperial capital, otherwise he didn't know how long it would be delayed.

Rong almost thought that he would not be able to return to the imperial capital in this life.

Zhao Liuyin didn't care about what happened to him in Sulou Town, he just wanted to talk about business again. So for what he said, he just responded with an awkward smile.

Rong noticed that the purpose of Zhao Liuyin's trip was not pure, and saw that Ji Qirui was delaying to talk about business, and they were afraid that they would quietly leave the palace for too long and delay it would attract the suspicion of others, so they couldn't help but say on the side: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I guess Miss Zhao came to you for something this time, right? Is that right, Miss Zhao?"

Seeing that he could finally get down to business, Zhao Liuyin hurriedly accosted and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince. Seeing you this time is indeed an important matter. I just don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can promise his courtiers." After that, she pretended to be pitiful.

Seeing this pity, Ji Qirui asked completely disregardingly, "Miss Zhao, but it doesn't matter, is there anything that this prince can't do?" Did someone bully you, such as the village woman Song Qian? Or is it the regent?" From beginning to end, he thought that Ji Changye really didn't know what to do, and he actually let Miss Zhao family go, and he was partial to Song Qian, a woman from Xu Village.

"Neither. It was the eldest lady of the Geng family who wanted to poison the food at the palace banquet before, and the courtiers couldn't bear her practice, so they testified that she poisoned people. His Majesty punished the eldest lady and did not want her to hold a grudge. Now trying to retaliate against the Zhao family, the courtier's father is very old, and the Zhao family really has no way to deal with the Geng family's targeting, and when they have nothing to do, they think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values love and righteousness, and they must not bear to watch the Zhao family being bullied, so they dare to come to you." Zhao Liuyin suddenly choked up and said, looking even more pitiful.

Her tricks were seen through by Rong at a glance, this was about to pull Ji Qirui into the water, in order to protect Ji Qirui, he wanted to remind him to think carefully and not to be blinded for a while.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qirui completely believed her words, and agreed: "How can this be true! is so bold and openly bullying the weak, does he not take His Majesty's majesty and national laws and family rules into account? Miss Zhao, don't worry, with the presence of Prince Ben, the Geng family will not succeed. Whatever you need, just ask, and the prince will do justice for you."

I didn't expect him to agree so simply, Zhao Liuyin was overjoyed that it didn't take much effort after all, so he pretended to be surprised and knelt down to thank him: "The courtiers thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, and the Geng family didn't dare to make a mistake like this. The Zhao family will definitely be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hurry up, Miss Zhao is really out of sight. From now on, your business will be the business of Prince Ben, and don't be polite to Prince Ben." Ji Qirui helped Zhao Liuyin up, thinking that his words were very majestic.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao Liuyin was afraid that something would happen if he continued to stay, so he excused himself and left. And Ji Qirui and Rong were also ready to drive back to the palace to avoid being discovered.

Rong sat in the carriage and looked at Ji Qirui, who was full of spring breeze, and couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you think this Zhao Liuyin and the Zhao family's move is deliberately strange? It's as if he said those things against his will to get your protection. Otherwise, Zhao Liuyin was so loyal to the regent before, how could he change so quickly. Therefore, I think that His Royal Highness should be cautious and don't be deceived."

The most terrifying thing is that Rong thinks that this is likely to be discussed between the Zhao family and the regent, and they want to lure the snake out of the hole.

But Ji Qirui didn't listen to it at all, and retorted, "What bad thoughts can she have as a woman? And you look at the way she looks, how can she be someone with ulterior motives? He must have been bullied by the Geng family and had no way out, so he would come to find Prince Ben. If Prince Ben can help her, why should he sit idly by? How can you think so badly of people?"

Seeing that Ji Qirui didn't open his mind, Rong had no way to persuade him, so he could only let him go, anyway, the person who was deceived at that time was himself.

But at this time, Ji Qirui didn't know this layer at all, and completely believed that Zhao Liuyin and the Zhao family were already loyal to him, and the gap between himself and Ji Changye was getting smaller and smaller, and His Majesty would also use himself more.

After Zhao Liuyin returned to Zhao's house, Zhao Hongzhen couldn't wait to ask, "What happened to the result? Did the prince say yes?"

"Yes, and without a hint of doubt. But the subordinate next to him seemed to see something and wanted to remind the prince. But the prince didn't care about him, and promised that he would help us deal with the Geng family." Zhao Liuyin replied.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongzhen comforted and said, "What are you afraid of, a little one can still break through the sky? When the time comes, if he gets in the way of our business, let him disappear forever, what is there to worry about in this matter. Now that the crown prince is on our side, unless the Geng family has more powerful people to support us, it will only be our subordinates."

Zhao Liuyin didn't care about this, and suddenly she thought of something and asked, "Father, why did I hear a few housekeepers under my command say that our people went to the front of the Geng family's shop to make trouble, which caused the Geng family's dissatisfaction. But when did we send someone to provoke? So it's very strange, and I guess someone is trying to frame us."

"You have a point, and that's what I've been thinking these days. However, I found someone to investigate, but I couldn't find the whereabouts of these two people. Who could it be that someone wants to see something happen to the Zhao family and the Geng family?" Zhao Hongzhen asked strangely.

"Maybe it's Song Qian? Did she notice something? Deliberately trying to embarrass us?" Zhao Liuyin suddenly guessed, but quickly denied what he thought, after all, what he did was seamless, Song Qian couldn't know and didn't make a move until now.

So who will it be?

Meanwhile, the Regent's Palace Gardens.

Changfeng and He Yujin were tirelessly discussing the matter of pretending to be the Zhao family, feeling that they must have made a mess at this time.

Song Qian found that the peach blossoms in the round had begun to bud, and sure enough, spring was coming.

"Yuanbao, when the peach blossoms bloom, how about my mother make you peach blossom cheese? And peach blossom soup."

After hearing this, Yuan Bao naturally agreed, and began to look forward to the peach blossoms blooming as soon as possible.

Ji Changye sat on the chair and watched their mother and daughter, the warm sunlight fell on him, warm and comfortable.

At this time, someone came to report that the Nine Emperor Princes, Ji Qimu, had come to visit.

Changfeng and He Yujin stopped fighting when they heard this, Changfeng was responsible for bringing Ji Changye back to pretend to be sick, and Song Qian was also pulled outside the palace by He Yujin to welcome the arrival of people.

On the way, He Yujin also told Song Qian, "This Nine Emperor Princes are like-minded best friends of me and Brother Ji. I am full of wealth, clean and self-conscious, I like to recite poetry on weekdays, but I also have my own unique views on political affairs, and I am the smartest of His Majesty's many heirs. I think he is more suitable to be a prince than the prince, but he doesn't fight or grab on weekdays, except for stuffing himself in the study, he just came to me and Brother Ji. During the time he left the Imperial Capital, he didn't have anyone to speak."

Song Qian already felt that this Ji Qimu was not an idle person when he heard it, and sure enough, when he came, he found him waiting outside the door.

"Meet the Nine Emperors." Song Qianxing saluted.

The other party was a little stunned when he saw her, and after reacting, he hurriedly said, "This lady must be the princess of the second brother, the second sister-in-law is good."

"I haven't passed the door yet, the Nine Emperor Princes should call me Song Niangzi." Song Qian opened his mouth a little uncomfortably.

Ji Qimu changed her words according to her meaning: "Song Niangzi."

He Yujin hurriedly spoke on the side and said, "Why don't you have a word with me? Could it be that in just a few years, you will forget about me?"

"Ah Jin, how could I have forgotten you?" Ji Qimu said with a smile.

But soon he asked with a worried look on his face, "How is the second brother's health? Is it getting better? A few days ago, I was attending a literati conference in a small county, and after getting the news, I hurried back, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, but fortunately I still came."

"The Nine Emperors, please come with the grass people." Song Qian was afraid that there would be too many people outside, so he led people to Ji Changye's study.

I thought that Ji Changye was still pretending to be sick, but I didn't expect him to drink tea calmly.

Song Qian was worried and surprised at first, but when he thought of the relationship between the three of them, he also felt that there was no need to pretend to be sick and deceive Ji Qimu.
