Cheng Mian was stunned, frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect Jiang Chengyi to refuse, and asked softly: "Does Brother Mengzhi have any concerns? Why do you say that? Could it be... What is wrong with Cheng's family doing, which makes you feel uneasy?"

At this time, Jiang Chengjia, who was standing beside him, also looked puzzled. Looking at his brother's face, he felt strange. Logically speaking, Cheng Mian proposed the suggestion of Jiang's cooperation with Cheng's family, and Jiang Chengyi should agree at once, but she did not expect that he hesitated for a long time and finally refused?

"The Cheng Xiaolang is too worried. The Cheng family is all loyal ministers and good generals, and Jiang is very willing to interact with such a noble family. However, at present, the Jiang family is the target of public criticism. If the Cheng family has a good relationship with the Jiang family, it will be besieged by the ministers, and even Your Majesty will feel unhappy. The Cheng family leads the army to fight hard in the north at this moment. If they are both enemies from both sides... it will cause the Cheng family army to fail to defend the territory of the Great Wei, isn't it Jiang's fault?"

Cheng Mian and Jiang Chengjia's tense spirit was slightly relieved by Jiang Chengyi's words.

"Brother Ruomingzhi is worried about this... Cheng has a way to solve it. Jiang's family and Cheng's family can still maintain their original relationship on the surface, and even... they can gradually become alienated according to the wishes of His Majesty and the ministers."

Jiang Chengyi looked at the white-clothed man sitting on the wooden wheel, with a deep and dark look and asked in a low voice: "What Cheng Xiaolangjun means... Can the cooperation between Cheng and Jiang clan be carried out through this secret passage?"

Cheng Mian nodded and promised, "I just wanted to do this. I just couldn't explain it clearly to Brother Jiang, but mine is not."

Jiang Chengyi asked again: "Can you guarantee that this secret passage will never be discovered?"

Cheng Mian paused, her brows were deeply locked, and she said softly: "This secret passage was built by Cheng himself, and it will never be lost. Cheng dared to assure Brother Mengzhi that in the future, all the talks in the secret room will not be spread in the slightest. If there is any change in the future, Cheng will never let the Jiang Mansion be implicated."

Jiang Chengyi thought about it over and over again, his eyes were gentle, and he said softly: "Since we need to cooperate secretly, we naturally cannot just let Cheng Xiaolangjun take the risks in the future. Jiang and Cheng clans should work together."

Cheng Mian heard this and was of course happy, and smiled and said, "Brother Mengzhi said this...Is he agreeing?"

Jiang Chengyi nodded and said, "The Cheng family and the Jiang family are willing to contribute to the Eastern Palace. Since they are secretly working together, as long as they do not involve General Cheng's war on the northern border, Jiang will have nothing to refuse to agree."

The prince sat in the main seat, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, and his heart was surging.

At this time, Cheng Mian turned his body slightly and said to the young man: "Your Highness, I have reached an agreement with the Jiangzhusi. I wonder if you have anything to give me?"

The prince said in a deep voice: "I should be more wings from my husband and cousin. But... I want to say something. No matter what, if you want to be in danger, you must first protect yourself. I do not want to lose the closest and important person because of this matter of taking over power."

Jiang Chengyi and Cheng Mian felt warm, and each raised their arms, nodded and bowed, and said respectfully to the prince: "I will accept the order!"

In the secret room, the light of the candle lamp became clearer and clearer, making a few slight explosions. The wick quietly exploded due to the burning fire. The candle oil splashed and sprinkled on the cloth cover and passed by in a flash. A cool breeze blew from the bright window with the top of the beam, causing the hot secret room to feel a little cool.

After everyone and the prince bid farewell, they returned to the inn. After a long time, they scattered and quietly left the alley.

Along the way, Jiang Chengyi was taciturn and had a serious expression. In the ox cart, the girls looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. After a while, Jiang Chengyi closed his eyes and suddenly spoke: "A Luo. When did you get a relationship with Cheng Mian? When did you discover this secret passage? "

The girl knew that her brother would ask about this matter for a while, so she replied softly: "Brother is busy with Xue Qing and Yuan Fu. When I was arresting Su Ren outside the city, in order to divert the eyes of Emperor Wei, I wanted to go to the East Palace to expose Deng's secretly manipulate the Shaofu Department and take the treasures of the inner treasury for his own affairs.

However, at that time, Emperor Wei suspected the Eastern Palace because of his brother's affairs, so I could not get close to him, so I had to retreat and go to the city. However, Emperor Wei was too suspicious, and there were also heavy troops to guard him outside the city. The city's little man was blocked outside the palace and could not return home... That's why I met him.

After that... the young man from the city took me to that inn and led me from that secret passage to the prince's eastern palace... Then he successfully forced Yin Licheng to submit a memorial and report the loss of the national treasure, which led to the case of Deng's burglary of treasures."

"The Yin Licheng thing was done successfully by Cheng Mian secretly helping him?" Jiang Chengyi was very surprised and asked again, "Do you have anything else to hide from me?"

The girl thought about it carefully, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Did you ever feel confused when my brother was trapped in the palace and was in danger during the few days? Why did Emperor Wei order the Huangmen Minister Tong Liang to go to the palace to investigate the case?"

Jiang Chengyi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her, confused and said, "What, is this matter also related to Cheng Mian?"

The girl nodded and said, "Let Tong Liang enter the palace is a strategy for the city to encourage him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recommended this person to the Emperor of Wei, which can confirm Deng's crime, and the other hand, it will also reduce the suspicion of Emperor Wei towards his brother a little."

Jiang Chengyi pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Cheng Mian grabbed Tong Liang's handle in his hand, which would make this person obey the prince and help me in the palace?"

The girl nodded: "No, that's exactly what it is."

Jiang Chengyi's face was solemn: "At that time, I only guessed that the prince recommended Tong Liang to the palace to investigate the case, but I didn't expect that Cheng Mian also had such a plan."

The girl said with a gentle voice: "The city is so encouraging this person, and you should not underestimate it. Just looking at the secret passage he built for the prince, you can tell that his mind is grand."

"I thought that General Cheng was honest and even if the emperor was suspicious, he was not too prepared. However, he didn't expect that Cheng Mian had already made plans for the future of Cheng clan in private. Although the Cheng clan has always been open and honest, we should not fully believe Cheng Mian. He has a serious illness and can still lie in secret and take care of the prince. His strength is naturally stronger than we see. Everything should be careful."

"What my brother said is. I don't dare to reveal everything to Chengmian, and he is also careful in every situation."

Jiang Chengyi's heavy face gradually calmed down and he calmed down and said, "Now, you and I are all walking on the tip of the knife. If you are not careful, you will be bleeding. Aluo, for the sake of the future, you must not be careless, you and I must be careful."

The girl replied repeatedly: "Brother, don't worry. I know the severity of the matter."

Jiang Chengyi stared at her, silent for a while, and said softly: "You should take care of the matters around the prince in the future. Don't have any other interactions with the East Palace, even through Chengmian. The more you participate in the affairs of the court, the harder it will be to get out of it in the future.

What's more, now Jun Houming is still the son of King Huai, and you are also the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Even if the prince believes in my character, he will be intimidated by your identity. If something happens, I am afraid that your safety will not be taken into account. If the Eastern Palace does not protect you, at least... Jun Hou will not let you have something to do. Jun Hou hates being used without knowing it, so you must not let Jun Hou notice it. You secretly assist me and help the Eastern Palace. If that happens, it will only hurt your husband's relationship."

The husband talked a lot, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Jiang Chengjia agreed, but also felt strange: "I naturally understand what my brother said. Today's affairs are just to solve my brother's worries for many days. From then on, I will quietly escape and no longer participate in the East Palace's plans. However, when did my brother become so thoughtful that I feel a little uneasy?"

However, Jiang Chengyi deliberately avoided the girl's gaze: "Just reminding me, don't be too careful."

He closed his eyes again, sat in the corner, and silenced.

Jiang Chengjia frowned and looked at Mu Yun sitting beside him with a puzzled look on his face, but she was puzzled when she saw her.

The ox cart drove into the alley in front of the Jiang Mansion gate and finally stopped. Jiang Chengyi didn't say a word, got out of the car with his head down, and went straight to the inside of the mansion, as if he had forgotten the existence of the girls.

Jiang Chengjia was confused and said, "What's wrong with brother? Suddenly... depressed? Did I lead him to see the prince and the young man in the city, which made him unhappy?"

Mu Yun shook his head, still puzzled: "I can't understand what he is thinking. From the moment he was in the secret room, I discovered that he looked strange."

The girls all turned their eyes to the gradually moving figure in front of the mansion, and they felt that something was strange, so they hurriedly chased after them.

The two chased to the corridor, but Mu Yun suddenly thought of something, immediately stopped Jiang Chengjia, turned to her and said, "Don't follow me. I'll ask if there is any news, I'll go to Bitangzhai to tell you. Since A Yi suddenly felt like this after seeing the prince, he either had other concerns or was related to you.

If you go again at this time, it will be thankless. What's more, he gets angry. Even if we keep asking questions, he won't say a word. It's better to let me coax him first and then ask carefully."

Jiang Chengjia knew the temperament of her brother and paused for a moment: "That's right. But... Ayi, if there is anything wrong, you must tell me."

She held Mu Yun's hand tightly and repeatedly reminded her. Mu Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know."

After saying this, she did not dare to delay and immediately chased towards the end of the corridor.

Jiang Chengjia stayed in the corridor and became inexplicably panicked. She thought about it repeatedly and did not think of what was wrong with her words and deeds today, so she walked towards Bitangzhai with a deep expression, feeling more and more uneasy.
