Li Yanchao never expected that he originally just wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he unexpectedly encountered a big fish!

He originally thought that Imperial Physician Tang and Physician Shen had come to the south of the Yangtze River under secret orders to seek medical treatment for the prince, and they only needed to do something secretly to make them return empty-handed. Naturally, the prince in the capital would be dead. Anyway. The prince will die sooner or later, and the emperor will adopt an heir sooner or later. He does not feel at all that there is anything wrong with his actions. He also thinks that he can achieve the feat of following the dragon and contribute to the success of the youngest son of the King of Shu to ascend the throne. From then on, he will become famous.

He has been serving as an official in Jiangnan for more than half a year, and his understanding of the latest news in the capital is lagging behind. He only knows that the youngest son of the King of Shu has the upper hand in the battle for the emperor's heir. If the prince hadn't still been there, he would have been able to enter the succession palace immediately. Soon after the Queen Mother's birthday, the King of Shu quickly returned to Shu. He didn't know the reason. He only felt that the King of Shu came to the capital in the name of celebrating her birthday. It was natural for him to return to the vassal territory after his birthday. The Princess of Shu and her youngest son were still in the capital. In the capital, it can be seen that the royal family of the Prince of Shu has not diminished. He dismissed some rumors that were unfavorable to the Prince of Shu as rumors.

When his family wrote letters from Beijing, they would naturally not mention anything that would make the Tu family feel embarrassed. In the eyes of his family, he was just a county magistrate, and now he was only serving as the acting county magistrate for the youngest son of the King of Shu. How can it help his great cause? As long as he can serve as his official in Jinling, there is no need to know too much about others. Therefore, in Li Yanchao's eyes, the most promising person in the capital to become the emperor's heir is still the youngest son of the King of Shu. .

Huang Jincheng believed that given the current disadvantageous situation of the Prince of Shu, if something happened to the prince, the one most likely to take over would be the crown prince of Liao, Zhao Shuo. From this, he inferred that Li Yanchao, who was related to the Princess of Shu and the Tu family, could not be foolish enough to attack the prince. It could be said that He was overestimated. Someone from the capital kept sending Huang Jincheng the latest news, but Li Yanchao did not receive such treatment.

Li Yanchao's understanding of the court situation was so late that when he saw the man in his thirties with extraordinary bearing at the tea pavilion at the intersection, he felt ecstatic.

He had only seen two faces of the prince from a distance, and had never seen the prince's real face up close. He only knew the prince's general body shape. However, this did not prevent him from recognizing the people around the prince. Except for the commander of the East Palace guards, whom he had admired greatly in the past. In addition to the senior officials, there were two or three guards. They all looked familiar to him. It seemed that he had seen them guarding the carriage in the East Palace before in the capital. The other guard closely following the prince happened to be One of his childhood playmates.

At that time, the Li family's grandfather was still in a high official position. He was still a child of a prosperous family, a child of a family of officials in Beijing, and many young men from the royal family were his acquaintances. Later, his grandfather passed away and the family fell into decline. He had just drifted away from these former friends. But he still paid attention to the news about these people from time to time, so as to look for opportunities to get close to them and seek some benefits for himself. Because of this, he clearly knew that the guard was spreading rumors. Here, he is currently on duty at the Xiaotangshan Palace.

Xiaotangshan Palace is the place in the capital where it is rumored that the prince is currently recuperating.

Whether it was Imperial Doctor Tang or that childhood playmate, the people who were rumored to be stationed at Xiaotangshan Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace all appeared in Jinling City, worshiping one person, and that person happened to be the same as the rumored Prince. His age, appearance, and body shape are similar—who else could this person be? If this is just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.

That person must be the prince!

Although I don’t understand why people in the capital thought that the prince was really recuperating in Xiaotangshan Palace, and no news came out from the palace, and even the Queen Mother did not inform the Tu family, but that may be just to block the news. This is also a good thing.

, this means that if the prince encounters danger in Jiangnan, not many people will know about it. When the time comes, he can easily find a reason to meet Xiao Xiao, and he will be able to fool him. Even if the court wants to investigate, it will not be able to trace the "uninformed"

of people.

Li Yanchao's heart was filled with excitement. Of course, he would not act rashly. He was just a small acting magistrate of Shangyuan County. The two levels of superiors above him were watching him. He bribed one or two government servants to do private work for him. It was not a problem to follow a few people.

, but if he openly goes against the crown prince in the Jinling territory, there will definitely be no good fruits to be gained. If the court tracks it down, he has no confidence that he can hide it from everyone.

Naturally, this kind of thing must be handled by the people of Prince Shu's palace. He only needs to be the person who informs the news.

Li Yanchao, who was so excited, didn't bother to say anything to Liu Captou, nor did he pay attention to the master and servant Zhao Mo who passed by not far in front of him. After figuring out the next plan, he immediately rushed back to Shangyuan County Yamen.

He ordered his close friends and family members to rush to Beijing to deliver the letter.

The King of Shu has returned to the land of Shu, while the Princess of Shu and her youngest son are still in the capital. No matter which side, they are far away from Jinling. To be on the safe side, Li Yanchao decided to send a letter to both sides at the same time, asking them to make an early decision.

He didn't know how long the prince would stay in Jinling, so if the Shu Palace wanted to do something, it had to make a decision as soon as possible. He also stated in the letter that he would pay attention to the prince's whereabouts in Jinling City and wait for the Shu Palace's announcement

When people come to Jinling, they just come to look for him.

An hour later, two fast horses galloped out of the Shangyuan County Government Office, one heading north and the other heading west, and galloped out of the city respectively.

At this time, Zhao Mo was in a house near Confucius Temple, restless.

He rushed over alone, wanting to ask to see his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai, but he learned some unfortunate news from his cousin Qin Hanzhen: "As soon as we returned to the city, Huang Qianshi sent someone a message asking my grandfather to come over and discuss it.

Things. My cousin also went with us. Is there anything urgent that Cousin Zhao needs to find them? They should be back before lunch."

Zhao Mo was stunned: "My uncle went to Mr. Huang's place?" How could it be such an accident? Although he sent Ah Shou to report the news to Huang Jincheng, he was absolutely unwilling to meet the latter, because he knew that Huang Jincheng was a match

He won't have anything nice to say.

What's worse is that even Qin Jian went with Qin Bai, and Zhao Mo can't even find someone who may know about it to discuss it.

Zhao Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh and sat down weakly on the chair.

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him curiously: "What's the matter with cousin Zhao? Did you encounter any difficulties? Can you tell me? If you are really anxious, how about I ask someone to ask my grandfather to come back?"

"

Zhao Mo looked up at Qin Hanzhen and smiled bitterly. He thought there was no need for it. Qin Bai went to Huang Jincheng's place. After Ah Shou told Huang Jincheng the news, Qin Bai would naturally persuade Huang Jincheng and go together to persuade the prince to beware of Li Yanchao. He

Go or not, the result is the same.

But if this happens, the things he has always wanted to hide may no longer be able to be hidden.

But that's fine. Things that don't belong to him will not belong to him after all. Although he and the prince are uncles and nephews, they are different monarchs and ministers, and Zhao Shuo's ambition is in the middle. In terms of emotion and reason, their positions are the same.

Opposite. How could he keep pretending to be ignorant and regard the prince as a kind and kind elder, even ignoring the etiquette that should be observed? It would be okay if the prince and the people around him didn't know, but now it is clear that everything

Everyone knew what was going on, but they still had to cooperate with his acting. No wonder the people around the prince didn't like him and were wary of him.

He and his uncle, the prince, had better go back to their own way. The warmth he missed was actually the moon in the mirror, and he should have recognized this a long time ago.

Zhao Mo only said to Qin Hanzhen: "Nothing happened. I just... I haven't seen my uncle and brother Jian for a long time. I miss them in my heart and I feel sorry to see them not here. But it doesn't matter, they will be back when they have lunch."

It will be the same when I meet them again."

Qin Hanzhen stared at him for a few times. She had known this cheap cousin for more than half a year, and she thought she knew him fairly well. Even if he pretended to be nonchalant now, she could tell that,

He was feeling uncomfortable right now, so he just forced a smile.

Qin Hanzhen didn't intend to cooperate with Zhao Mo's show, so he said: "Grandma got up early in the morning, and the road to the city was bumpy. She was feeling tired now and said she wanted to catch up on some sleep. Let's not disturb her.

She. Cousin Zhao, please come to my room to talk?"

Zhao Mo naturally would not refuse. The two of them went to the wing. Qing Xing had just packed up the luggage with others. When he saw them coming, he served tea and snacks and said with a smile: "When will Young Master Zhao move back?"

Sister Qingdai just told me that they are bored living in this house, and Manager Zhou refuses to let them go out for a walk, so they are looking forward to the young master's early return." If Zhao Mo comes back, he will be the one

If the owner of Qingdai and others asked for permission to go out, Zhou Xiangnian would not care.

Zhao Mo forced a smile: "Really? It shouldn't be too long."

Qin Hanzhen said to Qingxing: "Sister, please take someone down. Find someone to sit outside and guard the door for me. If anyone comes, just call out. I have something to discuss with Cousin Zhao."

Qingxing didn't ask any more questions, just responded, and went down with the others. She took a sewing basket, moved a small spoon and sat under the steps in front of the door, and started sewing. It was hard for her, it was so big.

On a cold day, I only wore a small Qin Hanzhen hand stove in my sleeve to barely get some warmth.

Only Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were left in the room. Zhao Mo sat uncomfortably behind the desk, pretending to play with Qin Hanzhen's brush: "Cousin, what do you want to discuss with me? But about the tea leaves? I have already

I ordered them to go to Hangzhou to make contact. But it’s the Chinese New Year right now, and the people in the tea garden there probably don’t have the heart to talk about it. They’re afraid that they won’t get the accurate letter until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Cousin, don’t worry, this transaction is wrong.

No."

Qin Hanzhen said: "I'm just helping to pull a string and build a bridge. What happens next has nothing to do with me. Why are you asking? I saw that Cousin Zhao's face was full of sadness, and I wanted to ask you what happened.

What's going on? It's not that I want to interfere with your privacy, I just feel that since we are all so familiar, I know a lot of your secrets, and you also know a lot about my family, so there should be no need to be polite.

That’s why I asked you directly, what happened? If you think I’m not qualified to ask, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Zhao Mo said hurriedly: "How come my cousin is not qualified to ask? You are willing to ask me directly, just because you don't mean to be heretical with me. It's just this matter..." He looked embarrassed.

Qin Hanzhen asked him: "You think you shouldn't tell me this? What about my grandfather? Where's my first cousin? You originally wanted to find them, which means you don't intend to hide them, right? So what does it matter if you tell me?

?I won’t just tell people to go.”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen blankly, and suddenly felt that what he was struggling with was actually not that difficult to say.

I changed my mouse and it’s not easy to use...
