Somehow, the assassin in Prince Heng's mansion was known to the emperor and Concubine Yi, and even the royal nobles in Jingshi strengthened their defenses because of this matter.

The emperor specially asked Liang Gonggong to personally go out of the palace to summon Yinqi into the palace, originally Yinqi thought that the matter had been investigated, and sent the person who was caught to the criminal department, and the matter was over, but he didn't expect to be taken out by the emperor to ask him again.

While in the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, Yinqi had no choice but to tell the emperor what the assassin had said that day, and the emperor asked Yinqi a question that he had ignored.

"Did the captured assassin have any of your belongings?"

Yinqi thought about it and couldn't help but shake his head.

The emperor's eyes staring at Yinqi couldn't help but have a sense of inquiry, he didn't even ask such an important question, and the emperor couldn't help but be worried.

"I heard that you sent that person to the Criminal Department?"

Yin Qi hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Huang Ama, the son has already handed him over to the Criminal Department to deal with." ”

The emperor's eyes dimmed, and he turned his head and immediately instructed Liang's father-in-law: "Liang Jiugong, you immediately go to the Criminal Department and bring that assassin to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I will interrogate him personally." ”

Gonggong Liang immediately retreated, Yinqi's eyes blinked unconsciously, he really couldn't understand why Huang Ama wanted to interrogate the prisoner in person, Huang Ama had been a little confused about his recent attitude towards him.

Father-in-law Liang didn't leave for long, and the little eunuch outside the house walked in and said to the emperor: "Long live Qiyu, the prince has something to do, and he is already waiting outside the Yangxin Palace." ”

The emperor didn't even glance at the eunuch, but only whispered back the word 'noise'.

The eunuch retreated, and after a while, the prince walked in, and he did not panic when he saw Yinqi, but bowed down to the emperor with a calm face and replied: "Huang Ama, this is the excerpt handed over by the governor of Jiangnan Salt, saying that it was found that there were bandits who sold official salt privately among the people, and several people had been arrested, and asked the court how to deal with it." ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, it was just a trivial matter, the prince came to ask him, the emperor couldn't help but pout, looked up at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Since the bandits who sold official salt have been caught, then deal with it according to the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, why should the prince come to ask me for such a trivial matter!" ”

The crown prince had no choice but to lower his eyes weakly, stand in front of him with his hands, and replied with a cowardly expression: "It is the first time that Erchen has encountered such a thing, and he can't make up his mind for a while, so he wants to come to Huang Ama to ask." ”

Yinqi stood aside and didn't dare to speak, and after the silence in the Heart Cultivation Hall lasted for a while, the emperor glanced at the prince with a frown, "Is there anything else about the prince?" ”

When the prince heard the emperor's majestic voice, he was immediately a little frightened and sweated in his palms, and hurriedly responded: "The son is fine, so I will retire first!" ”

After speaking, the prince glanced at Yinqi on the side, and withdrew with a complicated look.

After the prince walked out of the palace of heart cultivation, his face was sad, since he was restored to the position of the prince, the emperor Ama did not seem to have the same kind of father to him as before, and he rarely praised him.

Even the King of Zhijun, Prince Yong, and now Prince Heng have received more weight and rewards than him.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart.

Yinqi continued to stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the emperor saw that he was standing a little eye-catching, so he had to order him to sit down.

Liang Gonggong rushed back after about an hour out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yinqi was already like a needle prick, Liang Gonggong just stepped into the Heart Cultivation Hall with his front foot, and as soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he began to exclaim to the emperor who was reviewing the folds.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the assassin that Prince Heng sent to the Criminal Department has been beheaded!"

When Yinqi heard this, he said, 'Ah', the emperor frowned, guessing that this matter must not be simple, and the emperor decided to send a secret guard to investigate the matter.

The emperor just hummed at Liang's father-in-law, then turned his head to look at Yinqi, who was a little dull, and ordered: "Yinqi, you go back to the house first!" ”

Yinqi's mood at the moment was indescribable, he sat here for an hour, he stood up, raised his eyebrows slightly, bowed to the emperor and responded: "The minister there has retired." ”

When he walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yinqi couldn't help but reach out and touch his somewhat sour buttocks.

As soon as the court meeting ended the next day, the crown prince specially asked someone to bring a message for Prince Yong and asked him to go to Yuqing Palace.

Jiubeile was standing next to the eighth prince at that time, and when he heard the little eunuch say that the prince had been invited, Jiubeile turned around and glanced at the prince standing on the Jinluan Palace with bad intentions.

The Eighth Prince seemed to see his thoughts, and proposed, "Ninth brother, I think we should go to Yuqing Palace together." ”

Jiubeile originally had some disdain for the prince in his heart, but today he actually asked the starling to go alone in front of him and left him behind, so Jiubeile decided to follow the starling to Yuqing Palace to disgust the prince.

He then agreed with a playful face: "Okay, I'll go with the starling." ”

After the two came to Yuqing Palace, the prince had just come back, but when he saw Jiubeile, the prince's face was a little stiff at first, and he glanced at the eunuch next to him uneasily, as if asking: Didn't I ask you to invite Prince Yong alone, why did you call Jiubeile too!

The eunuch was a little innocent, and seemed to understand the meaning in the prince's eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the prince, when the slave saw Prince Yong outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, it happened that Jiubeile was also there. ”

The prince glared at him, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wave at him, and the eunuch hurriedly retreated.

The prince then looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but chuckle twice, Prince Yong saw him like this, although he didn't know what he meant, but he probably guessed that the ninth brother was here, and the prince was afraid that he was a little uneasy.

But after all, Jiubeile was proposed by the eighth prince, so the eighth prince had no choice but to say to the prince: "Second brother, I and the ninth brother have no secrets between each other, just tell us if you have anything!" ”

Hearing Prince Yong say this, the crown prince simply let it go, anyway, it is also Prince Heng's business, and Jiubeile shouldn't mind too much.

After the prince glanced at Jiubeile, he said: "A few days ago, a grandmother passed away in the fifth brother's mansion, and the emperor Ama also rewarded the fifth brother for this matter. ”

When the Eighth Prince and the Nine Belle heard this, they glanced at each other, not understanding what the prince meant by saying this, but the two of them continued to stare at the prince and listened carefully to what he continued.

"There is also the recent incident of assassins in the Fifth Brother's Mansion, and Huang Ama also personally inquired, but I heard that the assassin sent by the Fifth Brother to the Criminal Department has been beheaded, so Huang Ama put the matter down. I don't know what the eighth and ninth brothers think about Huang Ama's preference for the fifth brother now? ”

These words made Jiubeile feel a little unhappy, what kind of preference is this? The fifth brother has always been generous to others, and he also gave his own money to do the funeral for the deceased grandmother, and the emperor Ama rewarded him with some silver, which is called preference?

Besides, if the fifth brother makes trouble with assassins in the mansion, if it is replaced by another prince, isn't it normal for Huang Ama to ask? It's not like there haven't been assassins in other princes' mansions!

But these were all his own thoughts in Jiubeile's heart, and he didn't say it in front of the prince.

However, after hearing the prince's inquiry, the eighth prince next to him couldn't help but smile, and then looked at the prince with emotion, with a look of disbelief.

"How could the second brother think that these would be Huang Ama's preference for the fifth brother? Who among us brothers doesn't know that Huang Ama favors you the most, the second brother! Your studies are all taught by Huang Ama himself, and you have been raised by Huang Ama since you were a child, which is beyond the reach of us princes, and the things in the Fifth Brother's Mansion are too unexpected, and Huang Ama must have been concerned about it. ”

After the eighth prince finished speaking, Jiubeile couldn't help but echo: "Yes, I don't know which damn one sent someone to assassinate the Fifth Brother's Mansion, but fortunately someone caught it." If someone in the other princes' mansions assassinated, Huang Ama would also ask about it, the prince is really worried! ”

The words of the two made the prince a little speechless for a while, he didn't want to experience those days he spent in Xian'an Palace, so now he sometimes thinks too much.

Thinking of this, the prince looked up at the Eighth Prince and the Nine Baylors with a little smile, and said in a low voice: "Alas, my brain has been thinking about it since I have been in Xian'an Palace for a long time, and I hope that the two of you will not tell the fifth brother about this, so as not to make him too careful." ”

When the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Belle heard this, they nodded at the same time, and the Ninth Belle raised his voice and said, "Don't worry, the prince, my fifth brother is not the kind of person who is cautious, even if you say him to your face, he will laugh it off." ”

The crown prince looked at Jiubeile and talked about the fifth prince's eyebrows, and he was a little envious for a while, he raised the corners of his mouth, "Then the eighth brother and the ninth brother will stay here for lunch together." ”

The prince was gracious, and the two of them couldn't push back, so they stayed.
