Prince Qingcheng was an honest official and conscientious person. His father, Marquis Hai, did not allow him to form cliques and his family tutoring was very strict, so he had almost no friends.

When Liang Xiang was in court, he always liked to chat with him. Over time, they gradually became familiar with each other.

On this day, Liang Xiang invited Prince Qingcheng to visit the palace to talk. Both of them were well-read, so they had a great time talking to each other.

It was noon, and Liang Xiang kept Gongzi Qingcheng for dinner. When Gongzi Qingcheng saw that the food had been served, he did not refuse.

The two of them were drinking and listening to the music. Gradually, the young master Qingcheng felt a little drunk, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

However, Liang Xiang said that the sobering soup in his mansion was very effective, and ordered people to help Gongzi Qingcheng to rest on the couch for a while.

After a while, a maid walked towards Prince Qingcheng with sober soup.

After drinking sober soup, Gongzi Qingcheng lost all his life. After waking up, he found a woman sleeping beside him.

Liang Xiang deliberately broke through this matter himself, so he used this as a threat to ask Gongzi Qingcheng to do something for him.

Young Master Qingcheng knew that he had fallen into Liang Xiang's trap. But if he didn't agree, this matter would be known to everyone in the capital. Not to mention his face, he would not be able to overcome his father's hurdle!

After receiving the news from Liang Zicheng, Gongzi Jinlan was quite satisfied with him. So Gongzi Jinlan began to implement his plan. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Gongzi Qingcheng took Yao Chan'er to the mansion of his father-in-law Yao Xiang.

Yao Xiang was very happy when he met the couple. But he said, "Will he blame him if you don't reunite with the old marquis?"

"I have already reported to my father!" Young Master Qingcheng and Yao Chan'er saluted together.

The three young men from the Yao family also came forward to greet the young men, Qingcheng and his wife.

"Okay! There are no outsiders in the mansion, just sit down!" Yao Xiang ordered someone to set up a table for the young master Qingcheng and his wife.

"Which brother-in-law is singing?" Yao Ben, the third son of Yao Ben, asked.

"It's because I miss my parents very much. The Marquis understands it, so I promised that we will come." Yao Chan'er's voice was filled with affection, which made the women present move.

"Marty Hai's mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people! Come on! Let's enjoy the moon all over our family!" Yao Xiang said, while glanced at his third son Yao Ben. Yao Ben knew that he had made up his words, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The orchestras of the Yao Mansion started to dance, and the dancers also came on stage to dance.

Everyone was watching singing and dancing, drinking and watching the moon, which was very pleasant and happy.

After all, Yao Xiang was old and he left the seat early. Yao Chan'er also went to see her parents, leaving only Gongzi Qingcheng sitting alone watching the singing and dancing.

The young master Qingcheng didn’t like drinking, so he didn’t get drunk. Yao Ben, the third son of the Yao family, walked towards the young master Qingcheng with a wine pot and a wine glass.

He drank a little too much, stood steadily, and fell to the side of Gongzi Qingcheng. Fortunately, Gongzi Qingcheng helped him, otherwise the wine in his hand would have spilled on him.

"Brother-in-law! I'll give you a glass!" Yao Ben filled the wine glass in front of Young Master Qingcheng.

"Third brother! Don't be rude!" Yao Zhi, the eldest son of Yao Zhi, spoke to stop him.

"It's not your turn to care about me!" Yao Ben replied in the alcohol. Yao Zhi was so angry that he got up and left the seat.

"You have drunk this glass of wine! I have something to say to you!" The smell of alcohol on Yao Ben made Young Master Qingcheng cover his mouth and nose.

"Only this one!" Young Master Qingcheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Yao Xiang's second son Yao Qing was shocked when he saw this. This young master Qingcheng has a lot of alcohol!

"Okay! It's refreshing! Let me tell you! You can't be too cowardly in life! Our Yao family is among the four major families. But now, the Ji family covers the sky with one hand!"

"You are drunk!" Young Master Qingcheng pressed Yao Ben's wine glass and said.

"I'm drunk! But what I'm talking about is the truth!" Yao Ben lowered his voice.

"I'll help you go back to your room to rest!" Young Master Qingcheng helped Yao Ben up. He glanced at Yao Qing who was staring at them.

Yao Ben said as he walked: "So, you must stand on our side!"

"The Haihou Mansion has never participated in the struggles of the gentry!" Gongzi Qingcheng said seriously.

"I know! But if Ji continues, it is probably impossible for the Haihou Mansion to survive alone!"

Prince Qingcheng felt that this statement could never come from a person like Yao Ben! Could it be that Yao Xiang had this intention?

"I tell you! Our Yao family has already joined forces with Yan family and Dong family to fight against Ji family!" Yao Ben was indeed very drunk.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gongzi Qingcheng shouted in a low voice.

"It's not nonsense! I have conspired with Dong Bing and Yan She, and are ready to suppress the limelight of Ji!" Yao Ben's words made Prince Qingcheng frightened.

It turned out that what Liang Xiang said was not groundless. They asked him to come to Yao's Mansion to see if anyone in the Yao family was involved in this matter.

Although Gongzi Qingcheng heard the truth, he was hesitating whether to tell the truth. That night, he was destined to be sleepless.

When Yao Xiang saw that Prince Qingcheng had dark circles, he knew that he had not had a good sleep last night, so he asked him why?

Prince Qingcheng said that he was not used to changing places. He always kept polite and spoke with sincerity, so Yao Xiang believed it.

When the young master Qingcheng got off the morning court, he just walked to the gate of the first palace and met Liang Xiang.

"How?" Liang Xiang asked softly.

"Yao Ben is indeed involved! But Yao Xiang doesn't seem to know." Young Master Qingcheng picked Yao Xiang out.

"I expected it! It's just a confirmation! Okay! We'll clear up!" Liang Xiang said and left alone.

Young Master Qingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he returned to the Haihou Mansion, Young Master Qingqian invited him to the study room.

"Why do you want to go to Yao Mansion?" Young Master Qingqian gave his elder brother Young Master Qingcheng a cup of tea.

"A little thing!" Gongzi Qingcheng perfunctorily told Gongzi Qingqian.

"It's better not to participate in the affairs of their gentry!" Gongzi Qingqian looked at Gongzi Qingcheng's dark circles and couldn't help but worry about him secretly.

"No!" Young Master Qingcheng took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"Young Master! Dong Bing, Yan She and Yao Ben were captured by the Grand Sima's men!" Liu Tao quickly walked into the study and bowed.

"What?" The tea in Gongzi Qingcheng's hand spilled out.

"What crime?" Although Gongzi Qingqian was also surprised, his face was still as calm as water.

"Kidnap Ji Huanyu!" Liu Tao frowned at the blushing young master Qingcheng.

He knew about Prince Qingcheng going to Yao Xiang’s mansion last night.

"Brother! What did Yao Ben tell you last night?" Young Master Qingqian looked at his elder brother in disbelief.

"I don't know about the kidnapping!" After Gongzi Qingcheng said that, he stood up and left.

But he was called by the old marquis. Prince Qingcheng told the old marquis what Yao Ben said.

Marquis Hai did not punish Gongzi Qingcheng. He just warned Gongzi Qingcheng to have a better memory in the future!

Gongzi Qingcheng also knew that he had made a big mistake. His father did not punish him because he did not want people to see that he betrayed Yao Ben, so as not to fall into Prince Jinlan's trap.

Prince Jinlan successfully rescued his son and captured all his opponents. Although they may not be the mastermind, they also played a role in intimidating their family.

Dong Xinping came outside the study room of Gongzi Jinlan and asked him to let Dong Bing go.

Prince Jinlan told the story of Dong Bing colluding with Shura hermit to assassinate the emperor and framed him. Only then did Dong Xinping realize that the seriousness of the matter was much heavier than she thought!
