"Did the young man really say that?"

In King Jing's mansion, a tall middle-aged man with a graceful bearing was tasting the egg tart in his hand.

He had seen the princess eat this novelty many times, but he had never wanted to try it, and if it hadn't been made by the princess herself, he probably wouldn't have been interested.

He had just heard what the princess had said about Jiang Chen, and he was also curious about this insightful young man, because this person was a little too special.

Just talking about the egg tarts made by Jiang Chen, in terms of taste, style and novelty, it can be said to be a novelty that can rarely dazzle the eyes of the whole city in the past few decades.

Throughout history, those who have the ability to create unprecedented novelties can be recorded in history.

This Jiang Chen alone in this regard is enough to be regarded as a top talent, but listening to his comments on the current situation of Daqian and analyzing the relationship between the imperial court and Qishan, it can be seen that this person is extraordinarily knowledgeable and very talented.

It is precisely because of all these things that this King Jing has the idea of meeting this person.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of this egg tart?"

The princess asked King Jing with great anticipation, and there was still a little apprehension in her heart.

"Well, the egg tart made by the princess herself, the taste is naturally the best in the world, unique, I like it very much."

"You, you, like to perfunctory me with some beautiful words, I ask if the taste of this egg tart is to your taste."

King Jing replied with a smile: "The skin is crispy, the filling is soft and glutinous, and there is a rich sweet taste, it is the first time I have tasted such a delicious thing." ”

After getting King Jing's serious answer, the princess sat back satisfied.

She looked at these egg tarts cautiously as if she were her own child, and at this time she was even a little impatient to learn to cook two other dishes with Jiang Chen.

"By the way, you have to keep in mind what I told you, hurry up and do it, I have already promised Jiang Chen."

"Okay, since Concubine Ai agreed, how can I not do it?"

Walking out of the room, King Jing walked slowly on the quiet corridor, his steps were steady and powerful, and his deep gaze looked straight into the distance, unable to see what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.

Behind him was Xie An, the great butler who had been loyal for many years, waiting for his master's next instructions.

"Lord Wang, do you really want to get involved in the affairs of the Night Punishment Division for a boy you don't know?"

"If you do this, will the emperor's side ......?"

Xie An expressed the worry in his heart, but King Jing was unusually this time, and immediately said that he would definitely help with this favor, because he couldn't let the princess break her promise in front of others.

At the same time, King Jing had a more important reason, "Xie An, do you remember how many days the princess hasn't been as happy as she is today?" ”

Xie An thought for a while and replied, "It seems that since the shop was closed earlier, I haven't seen the princess smile anymore." ”

"But she laughed today, and laughed very happily, and I'm going to return this favor for this point, you know what I mean? In addition, I want you to check the details of Jiang Chen, and you must not let people with ill intentions get close to the princess. ”

"Yes, lord."

There is a rare relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in King Jing's mansion, and all this is because of the princess's good mood.

The next day, Jiang Chen appeared in the dungeon of the Water Pavilion, and sitting opposite him was Shen Xueying, who was frowning, and Mao Wuying, who was standing behind her with a somewhat dignified face.

Jiang Chen and Shen Xueying looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them took the lead to speak, this meeting looked a little weird, but in fact, they were each making a shrewd calculation in their hearts.

In Shen Xueying's hand, there was a letter handed over by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs this morning, and the content on it made Shen Xueying both surprised and worried.

She expected that Jiang Chen would take all measures to intervene in Geng Ji's matter, but she never expected that Jiang Chen would actually have some contact with King Jing's Mansion in private.

King Jing's handwritten letter was sent to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the latter dared not follow it immediately, because of this letter, Jiang Chen now has the privilege of entering and leaving the dungeon of the Water Pavilion at will.

"I didn't expect you to know King Jing?" Shen Xueying wanted to test Jiang Chen's tone, if someone like this took refuge in the Jingwang Mansion, it would be a very big loss to their Night Punishment Division and even the entire imperial power.

Jiang Chen replied: "Strictly speaking, I don't know King Jing, but I met the princess by chance, so I asked the family to help me with this, you know that I will not give up." ”

"Why did the princess help you for no reason?"

Mao Wuying's expression at this time was more like asking the teacher for guilt.

Jiang Chen said smugly: "Probably because I have a little talent." ”

Shen Xueying sighed and reminded Jiang Chen very seriously, "I don't think you know anything about that King Jing, right?" In the royal capital, no one dares to have too much to do with Jingwangfu, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

"You mean the thing that can't be mentioned? I'm just a flat-headed commoner, and the court won't care about a small role like me, of course, I'm still very grateful to you for being kind enough to remind me. ”

There are many controversies in King Jing, especially in the past, which has made the entire court secret, and people say that King Jing has coveted the throne of Daqian for a long time, and he will make another move sooner or later.

The current emperor has taken measures to confiner King Jing, although he has never admitted such a thing to the outside world, but the dignified King Jing has not left Jinyang City for 16 years, and he usually lives in a simple place, and he only hangs some false titles in the court, without any real power.

Shen Xueying reminded Jiang Chen not to get too close to King Jing, which is the consensus of the vast majority of people, and they all think that they are not involved with King Jing, and sooner or later they will be implicated.

"Can I go in?" Jiang Chen was anxious to see Geng Ji.

Shen Xueying said: "Yes, but whether he is in the mood to see you now, I can't say." ”

"Where did you take Lan Hui, now only by negotiating with Geng Ji can it be possible to get all the information from him, he even participated in the operation against Qishan twenty years ago, which shows that his status in Xuanyan Mansion is far higher than we imagined."

Jiang Chen slapped the table angrily, and said to Shen Xueying dissatisfied: "To deal with people like Geng Ji, you must use both soft and hard, you are so naked to use other people's daughters-in-law and children as a threat, it will only force him to go to a dead end." ”

"This matter has been smashed by you, and I will settle accounts with you for the consequences!"

It was the first time for Jiang Chen to speak to Shen Xueying like this, as if he was the head of the Night Execution Division.
