Chapter twenty-eight
In the Kuanhe Hall of the Palace, Prince Qingqian met the emperor and asked for forgiveness of Cheng Ming's family and the 100,000 soldiers who had surrendered.
The emperor ordered people to tell the story of Prince Jinlan to meet him. Yu Lengzhi and Prince Jinlan walked into Kuanhe Hall together.
"I have seen Your Majesty!"
"Caomin, please see Your Majesty!" After Prince Jinlan returned to the capital, he had handed over the token of the special envoy. He had no official position, so he called himself Caomin.
"Young Master Qingqian, please submit a letter to me and ask me to forgive Cheng Ming's family and the 100,000 surrendered soldiers! What do you think?"
"One hundred thousand soldiers should be incorporated by the court! As for Cheng Ming's contribution to reporting, the emperor's virtue will make his own judgment!" Prince Jinlan expressed his opinion. The emperor's eyes looked at Yu Lengzhi.
"Please give a clear decision!" Yu Lengzhi's direct commander, how dare he say anything?
"It is not good for Yang Chen to supervise his subordinates to be supervised, and he will be fined one year's salary! Without the order, he will not leave Nanchuan without permission! The surrendered 100,000 troops went to the northwest border and surrendered to the seventh prince! Yang Xiao and Cheng Ming were beheaded at noon the next day! Cheng Ming's family was exiled to the northwest with the army!"
Prince Qingqian and Prince Jinlan walked out of Kuanhe Hall side by side. The emperor walked outside Kuanhe Hall. He looked at the outstanding figures of Gongzi Jinlan and Prince Qingqian and were envious.
The world is always with young people! I hope they can abandon past grudges and work together to serve the country!
On the long palace road, Gongzi Qingqian and Gongzi Jinlan walked very slowly. They both looked at the distance without looking sideways. The two were in the same pace and very light.
When they were about to arrive at the palace gate, Gongzi Jinlan and Gongzi Qingqian stopped at the same time and looked at each other face to face for a while.
"Why don't you do it yourself?" Gongzi Qingqian already knew that Gongzi Jinlan's skills were unfathomable.
"I won't kill you with my own hands!" Young Master Jinlan turned indifferently and walked out of the palace gate.
Gongzi Qingqian smiled bitterly. He knew that Gongzi Jinlan was concerned about his family reputation. He and Gongzi Jinlan were incompatible and everyone knew about it.
Therefore, Mr. Jinlan must act carefully and cannot be justified, and must not leave any handle.
Although Gongzi Qingqian is not the opponent of Gongzi Jinlan, he will never be killed easily! If he misses a single blow, then the crime of trying to murder the imperial court official is enough to ruin a person's future and life!
The third prince has a gentle personality and is kind-hearted. He never thought of killing the second prince and the young master Jinlan.
Although Gongzi Qingqian was mortal enemy of Gongzi Jinlan, he was a fourth-rank minister in the court. He was responsible for collecting and organizing briefings from various places, and then selecting valuable ones to send to the palace.
At the same time, Gongzi Qingqian came from the Haihou Mansion of a noble family. He received a good education since childhood and attached great importance to etiquette. Therefore, he had never used lynching privately or assassinated any political enemy.
The second prince is different. He is cruel and cunning. He has always been cruel to his political enemies and shows no mercy!
Since Prince Jinlan did his job for him, he naturally obeyed him. However, he divided some things into seriousness and often advised the second prince.
The second prince favors Prince Jinlan, and he will think about it more or less!
When Prince Jinlan returned to the mansion, the second prince was sitting behind several tables in his study and drinking tea. Rouxin also served by her side carefully.
"He knows who is taking his life!" The second prince asked, looking at the young master Jinlan who was walking over and sitting down.
"So what? We have no handle to him!" Gongzi Jinlan took the tea handed over by Rouxin and took a sip.
"Do we want to visit the Dong Mansion?" The second prince was still a little worried.
"Your subordinates are all masked and have not revealed who they are! We are now in the past, aren't we not telling ourselves?" Gongzi Jinlan blew the heat from the mouth of the teacup.
"But I think Dong Xinping, the third lady of the Dong family, seems to know that this matter is related to us!"
"She doesn't talk nonsense, nor dares to talk nonsense!" Young Master Jinlan put down his teacup.
"Why?" The second prince didn't understand why.
"First, a lady from a noble family has not returned for many days without returning, and her reputation has been damaged. Second, the Dong family has always been neutral in political affairs. Third, no one can prove her testimony except for the nobleman who is innocent." Prince Jinlan confidently looked up at the second prince.
"Will Young Master Qingqian give up?" The second prince put down the teacup he picked up again.
"I gave him enough face in Kuanhe Palace. How could he not know my intention? Besides, he never did anything unsure, and would not put Dong Xinping, who helped her, in danger!" Gongzi Jinlan's thoughts were so detailed that Rouxin had to admire him.
"It's so good! The Seventh Prince goes to Beijing next month to celebrate her mother's birthday. You plan it! Let him use it for me!" The second prince stood up and left after saying that.
Prince Jinlan sat without moving. The seventh prince held heavy troops. He fought for the country and served the current emperor. This time he went to Beijing just to celebrate her mother's birthday, and was in Beijing for more than a month. How easy was it to make him the second prince's arm during this period?
This is a difficult task at all. Why didn’t Gongzi Jinlan refuse? Can he really do it? Rou thought, while cleaning up the tea cup used by the second prince and the tea residue that had been cooked.
When Rouxin returned to Gongzi Jinlan's study, she heard Tuan report to Gongzi Jinlan at the door about private schools in various places.
Rouxin walked in gently. Tuan looked back and closed his mouth.
"You go down and sort out a list for me first!" Gongzi Jinlan said, looking at the drawings on several tables.
"Yes!" Tuan glanced at Rouxin and left.
"We are going out together for a while tomorrow, so you can prepare too!" Gongzi Jinlan said without raising his head.
"Take me with me?" Rouxin was stunned for a moment.
"Um!"
Rouxin actually had nothing to prepare. She only brought a few clothes she wore on weekdays. She didn't have to worry about the rest, and Tuan had already taken care of it.
Rouxin took the burden and walked out of the room. The sun was in full swing, and she decided to go out of the house to buy a sun hat.
Since Rouxin entered the mansion of Gongzi Jinlan, this is the first time she left the mansion to buy things. She went to the familiar West Street. The things there are both cheap and practical.
Rouxin bought a white hat with a gauze and walked back. At a corner where no one was around, Rouxin's shoulder was patted.
Rouxin grabbed the man's arm with her backhand, but she grabbed him for a while. She quickly turned around but didn't see anyone.
"Soft Heart!" A soft call came from the table near the window of a noodle restaurant.
Rouxin turned her head and saw that the person was Yao Tong. Rouxin was about to walk over, but saw Yao Tong pointing behind her and pointing to the powder shop opposite the noodle shop.
Rouxin walked into the powder shop knowingly. While she was selecting rouge, a girl walked up to her and spread out a linen. The linen said: Remember where you have been and people you have met.
Rouxin bought a box of rouge and returned to Gongzi Jinlan's mansion.
"Show me the things in my hand!" Feng Yan walked out of Rouxin's house.
"What are you doing in my room if you have nothing to do?" Rouxin frowned.
"What are you doing when you leave the house?" Feng Yan opened the rouge box that snatched Rouxin and took a look.
"It's too hot, I went to buy a hat and a box of rouge by the way. If you like it, keep it." Rouxin said and entered the house.
"Give it back!" Feng Yan threw rouge towards Roxin's back heart. Roxin's body side and grabbed the rouge box.
"Good skills!" Gongzi Jinlan's voice sounded in Rouxin's room.
"Young Master! Why are you..." Rouxin's feet seemed to be fixed.
