Baiyue looked at the prince coming down from the school grounds with some hesitation on his face.
"You have something to say."
Xiao Yu got the handkerchief wet from his hand, loosened his cuffs, and walked towards the main courtyard.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is out of seclusion today, should we... set off?"
Xiao Yu paused and glanced at him, "Are you talking about breaking off the engagement?"
"Ah!" Baiyue nodded quickly, "I heard that the Qintian Prison has already calculated the date of the wedding, and they are waiting for the Holy One to come out and present it to the Holy One for selection! If the prince says it too late, I'm afraid
The Holy Spirit has other plans."
While talking, Baiyue had been secretly looking at Xiao Yu's face, and it was inevitable that he felt a little guilty at this moment.
Is it his imagination?
Why do you feel that the prince is not enthusiastic about this matter?
Haven't you wanted to break off the engagement for a long time?
Moreover, Huang Zicheng also said that day that the third girl from the Xie family was indeed in Dongchang. How could she be a good person if she could hang out with Han Jian?
Not only can the third girl of the Xie family not marry her home, but the Xie family must also be more careful in the future.
While he was secretly looking at Xiao Yu's face, he followed him forward. The more he looked, the less confident he became.
Xiao Yu remained silent, and Bai Yue watched helplessly as his prince entered the house, changed into homely clothes, and then walked into the study.
"king……"
Seeing that his prince had picked up the pen, Baiyue stopped talking. When the prince was doing business, he was most afraid of someone making noises in his ears.
Huang Zicheng came in at this time. When he saw him, Bai Yue had a bad expression, "What are you doing here again?"
"Wait for your lord!"
"What's the matter with you that requires the prince to go there in person?"
"Where am I? Aren't you waiting for the prince to enter the palace together? Your Majesty has not yet left seclusion, and it won't be long."
Huang Zicheng looked matter-of-fact, and then stood in the yard with a pine-like posture.
These words made Bai Yue a little confused, "You also agree with the prince to break off the engagement! I saw that you persuaded the prince to go to Dongchang last time, and I thought you wanted the prince to marry the daughter of the Xie family!"
"I have nothing to agree with or disagree with. This is a lifelong matter for the prince. Whatever the prince thinks is good, we, as subordinates, will naturally listen to the prince.
What's more, the last time I went to Dongchang, it was not for the three girls of the Xie family. It was just to explore Han Jian's reality. There was a plague in the place, and Han Jian dared to hide it. This matter is enough for our Jinyiwei to invite them.
It’s time for a drink.”
Baiyue was shocked, "What?! A plague happened?"
Huang Zicheng raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at him, but said no more.
Baiyue suddenly looked ugly. The prince didn't tell him such an important thing!
He glared at Huang Zicheng who was standing aside, lowered his voice and said, "What is going on? What should we do about this matter?"
Although this Baiyue is quite big, he is very simple. He can fight well, but hanging around in the capital is really not good enough.
Seeing that he clearly looked hurt, Huang Zicheng was too lazy to tease him any more and lowered his voice, "It has been several months since the incident happened. It was someone from Dongchang who discovered it first. I don't know what he thought.
Yes, for this matter, several villages were massacred first.
As a result, we failed to prevent it. Now refugees from the disaster-stricken villages are flooding into the capital. Although it is generally under control, no one knows whether there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and whether it will spread further.
.”
Baiyue was shocked, "Then... several villages were wiped out. Such a big thing, the Ministry of Revenue and the cabinet didn't know about it?!"
"So, Han Jian is seeking death. We have obtained conclusive evidence. This time..."
He leaned back slightly and clasped his hands on his chest, "I'm afraid I'm shaking my skin up and down."
"You...you didn't tell me about such a big thing!" Baiyue couldn't tell whether he was shocked or excited for a moment, "You actually dared to massacre people, and you even cooperated with local officials to deceive them. It's very possible that
It involves the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Cabinet."
"Perhaps the Ministry of War also has them."
"Xie family?" Baiyue looked shocked, "Why is it related to the Ministry of War?"
"Do you know what the names of the people in these villages were reported as being killed?"
This Baiyue was no stranger. He almost immediately thought, "You mean banditry?"
Huang Zicheng glanced at him approvingly, "You're not too stupid. Fighting bandits requires money, and there is room for appreciation. This is a big deal. Xie Yuncang is an official in the Ministry of War, so this matter cannot be avoided by him.
"
"So that's it. The third girl from the Xie family is still treating infected people in Dongchang. Doesn't this further prove that the Xie family is deeply involved?
The prince originally wanted to deploy our own people to the Ministry of War, but this time, it kills two birds with one stone, no, plus the matter of breaking off the engagement, it should be regarded as killing three birds with one stone."
Just as he was talking, the door opened.
Xiao Yu had already changed into palace clothes and came out. After scanning the two of them, he frowned slightly and said, "Noisy."
Both of them have long been accustomed to such rebuke. Baiyue was in a very good mood at this time and greeted him with a smile, "Your Majesty, will my subordinates enter the palace with you?"
"Someone will come to the house later, so you can stay at home and watch over them."
Baiyue was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who will come?"
Huang Zicheng laughed, "Since the prince has left you at home, he certainly has his intentions. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Seeing them walking out together, Baiyue was a little worried. Why did he feel that the prince had become so cold towards him recently?
On August 16, the Holy Spirit came out of seclusion.
Emperor Yufeng was keen on cultivating mysticism and refining alchemy. He often learned from those outside the country and made special trips to practice in seclusion. However, there was never a time when people inside and outside the palace were so looking forward to his coming out.
Needless to say, the princes had to go forward to fulfill their filial piety as usual. When they left the customs, they had to kneel down to greet them.
The Crown Princess Zhao Mingxi said warmly while tidying up the Prince's clothes: "I don't know if the Holy Master's retreat is going well or if there is any new income.
Later in the evening, Uncle Wang must be the first to talk about breaking off the engagement. Although Uncle Wang has always been deeply loved by his father, but after all, he has to take back his life, and I am afraid that his father's mood will not be much better.
Your Highness still needs to take a look at the situation before deciding whether to bring up the marriage proposal. If my father thinks that we are taking the opportunity to win over Mr. Xie Ge, it may not be good."
The prince was a little impatient and said after hearing this: "Don't you know this yet? Do you still need to tell me?"
The Crown Princess smiled with a gentle look on her face, "Yes, yes, I am worried too much. Aren't you nervous, Your Highness? The other party has been dancing happily recently. Before entering the customs, my father even said that he wanted to go to him."
Let’s take a look at the house! I praised Mr. Zhou Ge again, so we have to be more careful.”
When the third prince was mentioned, the prince's face became a little more stern, "Even if you become a king, you will still be a concubine and give birth to a son! Jumping up and down will not be a problem. When Gu succeeds to the throne, he will be sent to the fief immediately!"
The Crown Princess smiled silently. Even though she was not a direct descendant, as a noble concubine, the Third Prince was indeed a formidable opponent.
After checking up and down to make sure there were no omissions, Zhao Mingxi was about to accompany the prince out. His personal eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Highness, it's bad, something happened!"
