Qi Ming knelt on the ground with a look of fear and anxiety on his face: "Your Highness, I have always been in business, running Yibaoxuan for the Li family and His Royal Highness King Ling, but some time ago, I was dissatisfied with the king because of my unfavorable work. Even more suspected that I had a different heart, controlled my family, even
Killed my wife and had to fight for my only remaining child. "
"Not doing things well? What do you mean?" King Jin looked at Qi Ming, thinking about the truth of his words.
"Before... In Linjiang City, His Royal Highness King Ling asked me to intercept the boat carrying tax silver, but I failed to stop it, and then asked me to find the tax silver that sank to the bottom of the river, because of the reasons of King Yu and King Yue, I didn't find it either, that's why the lord was completely disappointed in me."
King Jin fumbled and held the tea cup in his hand, lowered his head and took a sip, with a warm smile on the corner of his lips: "Go away, I'm already a waste person, and it's not worth the big brother's troubles and calculations. ."
Qi Ming hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, with a sad expression on his face: "Third Highness, if I step out of the house in front of me, I will be beheaded in the street on the back foot, please don't drive me away, please save the slave. The slave is really desperate, It's not the manpower that King Ling deliberately placed, please show it to your Highness."
"It's unfounded, what evidence do you have?"
"His Royal Highness, as a servant, I have limited access to things, and it is impossible for me to know about things that are too secret, but I know a great secret. If Your Highness is willing to take me in and save my child, The slave is willing to tell His Highness the news."
"It's not difficult to take in you as a servant, but how can this king be sure that your news is true or false?" Qi Ming's expression was very serious. There would not be such a heavy suspicion, but now the timing is too special, there is nothing worthy of refuge in him, and even the officials who supported her in the past are unwilling to pay attention to it.
He, who was born with the same name, came over and had to make him suspicious.
Qi Ming's face was full of anxiety, even though it was winter, the sweat on his forehead continued to flow down: "His Royal Highness, the third prince, the servant has no way to confirm the truth of the matter, so he can only tell the news and let His Highness judge by himself: The Li family and Beijiang have secret contacts and have a very close relationship."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, stopped talking, and waited silently for the judgment of the third prince.
The tea cup in the hands of the third prince trembled violently, and the tea spilled out and fell on his clothes, but he was undecided: "You mean the Li family and Beijiang?"
"Yes."
The eyes of the third prince, which were hidden behind the white gauze, trembled violently, and after a long while he finally spoke again: "This prince has no power and power now, and he is even confined to the mansion and cannot move around freely. Wouldn't it be better for you to tell Prince Yu this news? "Minions... Minions secretly went to Prince Yu's Mansion, but before they got to the gate of the mansion, they saw the people of His Royal Highness Prince Ling. Now the two princes are fighting fiercely with each other, and they are pointing at Maimang, and they can't wait to eat each other today. A few mouthfuls of dishes are kept in mind, slaves have limited ability, and there is no such thing as
The way to get close to King Yu. "
He said this, but the suspicion in the third prince's heart went away a little. After thinking for a while, he said, "You go down first, and this king will arrange for you to stay for the time being."
Qi Ming's face was full of ecstasy, and then a little more worried: "His Royal Highness, the child of the servant..."
"Rest assured, I will let someone rescue him as soon as possible, and then arrange to live in other places for the time being."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
After Qi Ming retreated, the third prince's personal guard stepped forward: "Your Highness, do you believe this Qi Ming's words?" The third prince tore off the gauze from his face, and then lowered his eyes to look at the tea stains on his body: "The Li family and Beijiang... This matter is too important, it doesn't seem to be said casually, and the eponymous look doesn't seem to be a fake, many of the things he said are well-founded, and the most important thing is that he sent them
The account book that came, many of the current accounts in that book are not right at all. The Li family seems to be using Yi Baoxuan to plan something secretly. If what he said is true, then the eldest brother is asking for his own death! "
"Yeah, Beijiang has been eyeing tigers all these years, and having contact with Beijiang is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."
The third prince put down the tea cup, and lightly beat his legs: "How is the preparation of the medicinal herbs ordered by Gu Shenyi?" His eyes have been healed, and he now desperately hopes that his legs will stand up quickly.
"Most of them have been found, and the last two are left."
"Well, have I arranged everything that I asked you to arrange?"
"His Royal Highness, everything is ready." "Okay, if everything goes well tomorrow, the royal father should lift my ban, and even re-designate the king's title, but this is not enough, if it can really be determined that Beijiang and the Li family are involved , with this credit, I have the opportunity to rise again." He hoped that the words of the same name were true.
Yes, because he needs a huge credit to make up for his previous mistakes.
The guard changed the tea cup and came over: "Your Highness, will your subordinate help you change your clothes?"
"No need."
"His Royal Highness, the wedding date of King Yue and Princess Wenxian is approaching. My subordinates have already prepared some congratulatory gifts. Does the master have any additional orders?"
The third prince frowned suddenly, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes very quickly: "No, you go down."
"Yes."
When the guards withdrew, the third prince suddenly grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it to the ground, his teeth clenched and his eyes extremely gloomy.
Early the next morning, an official said that the plum groves planted in the mansion of the Third Prince were blooming overnight, the frozen lake water began to melt, and even lotus leaves and lotus flowers appeared.
The emperor and the officials in the courtroom expressed their disbelief and ordered the guards to check it out, but they didn't want to. After the guards went to investigate, they were surprised and reported that everything was true, which immediately caused an uproar in the courtroom.
Some officials said that there is a precedent for plum blossoms to bloom earlier, but the frozen lake water melted, and lotus leaves and lotus flowers grew.
Some officials said that the early blooming of the flowers is a good omen, and the lotus has always been out of the mud and not stained, and it is clean and not demonic. The prince Xuan came to ask clearly.
After thinking about it for a while, the emperor decided to go check it out in person.
Princess Yide also received news: "Yao'er, the emperor asked us to see the lotus blooming in winter. Would you like to go and see it together?"
Mu Yunyao smiled: "Okay, such a spectacle is indeed worth seeing, but unfortunately, my mother has caught the cold, so I can't go out during this time."
"Let her rest and rest more. Besides, it's better to choose summer if you want to appreciate the lotus. The lotus that is open now has too much ingenuity and loses its aura. It's better not to look at it." Princess Yide chuckled, her expression changed With a hint of indifference. Too much ingenuity? It was simply arranged by man! The third prince really has a way, and he even thought of the method of a strange omens falling from the sky.
