"Miss, His Royal Highness, please go to the Prince's Mansion to discuss the case of the missing jade pendant." Qingyu came in to report.
Yan Ling nodded, looked at Qingyu and said, "Liyi is not feeling well today, so you should go out with me."
"My slave, I obey." Qingyu lowered her head and took two steps back.
Li Yi looked at the two people's backs from a distance and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Prince's Mansion.
After crowding out everyone, only Yan Ling and Liang He were left in the huge room. For a moment, I didn't know how to express what was in my heart.
"Why did you say those words in front of the emperor today?" Yan Ling couldn't help but ask.
As if he had already thought that Yan Ling was going to ask this question, Liang He took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "Of course I know my father's temper, so I said that on purpose."
After hearing this, Yan Ling became even more puzzled.
Seeing Yan Ling's tightly furrowed brows, Liang He looked at her with burning eyes and said softly, "If it weren't for this, my father would have blamed you."
Yan Ling was suddenly shocked. She didn't expect that it was for this reason. Somehow, she thought of Qingyu's strange expression on the carriage, and it turned out that she understood it at that time.
It's true that the authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders know clearly. Yan Ling sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Don't worry, the murderer will be found in a month." Liang He comforted him.
"I'm not worried about this, it's just you." Thinking of this time, Liang He sometimes felt guilty for doing this for himself.
"Ling'er, are you worried about me?" Liang He's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with an expectant smile.
"I" Yan Ling was speechless for a moment. He wanted to admit it, but he couldn't
After a while, Yan Ling seemed to have finally come up with a result. Thinking that Liang He was involved because of Yan Ling after all, it was right to worry about him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too heartless
"I'm worried about you. If it weren't for me, how could you be involved in this matter?" Yan Ling said slowly, and then lowered his head unnaturally.
Although Yan Ling specifically explained why he was worried about him. However, how could Liang He care about this? All he heard was that Yan Ling said he was worried about himself.
Thinking of this, Liang He couldn't help but feel very good. Yan Ling was not the kind of person to express his feelings. Now that he can hear this sentence, Liang He feels very satisfied.
"What you did this time is very different from how you usually deal with things. I believe many people have noticed the clues. If the emperor and queen know about it, I'm afraid," Yan Ling suddenly raised his head and said, as if something suddenly occurred to him.
"Definitely not. Others may have noticed something, but my mother and I have never been close, and he doesn't understand how I behave." Liang He said lightly.
"As for the father," Liang He sighed.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Yan Ling just breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was lifted again.
"Don't worry. Although my father is still healthy, he is old after all. He has become more irritable and irritable recently, so he will not go too deep into this matter." Liang He said with some unclear emotions.
Yan Ling naturally noticed that Liang He's mood seemed a little not right at this time, so he didn't say anything more and just looked at him quietly.
Liang He was indeed a little worried. The emperor could not survive for many more years. Although the third prince was free and easy on the surface, he had been trying to win over people's hearts secretly. In addition, Concubine De was blowing his mind.
Over the years, Liang Yi's power has been expanding step by step. If the emperor really passes away, and Liang Yi is so easy to deal with, there may be another big chaos.
On the one hand, Liang He was determined to win the throne, but on the other hand, he also knew that matters in the royal family would not be that simple, especially the battle for the throne.
If Liang He ascends the throne, even if it is for reputation, he will also take brotherly love into consideration. But Liang Yi is different. If he really succeeds, Liang He will probably be his first target to get rid of.
As for Yan Ling, Liang He frowned. Anyone could see what Liang Yi was thinking about Yan Ling. However, it is a pity that how much true feelings there are is unknown.
According to Liang He's understanding of Liang Yi, he was definitely approaching Yan Ling to win over, either to win over Prime Minister Yan, or for something else, but he was not too naive after all.
However, no matter what the reason was, Liang He would not allow anyone to take advantage of Yan Ling.
"My matter is not important, and it won't be anything bad after all. Let's talk about the jade pendant. Finding the jade pendant is the top priority now." Liang He was silent for a while, and then said, with a smile on his face again. meaning.
"Everyone in my yard has been called in for questioning, but there doesn't seem to be any valuable clues?" Yan Ling still felt a little helpless when talking about this matter.
"Ling'er, do you still remember what I said to my father in the hall today?" Liang He asked with a smile.
It seemed that he had no intention of waiting for Yan Ling's answer. When Yan Ling was deep in thought, Liang He continued: "I said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is indeed true."
Regardless of whether he was using power for personal gain, in short, when Liang He arranged for Jincheng patrol personnel, he arranged many experts in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If someone has evil intentions, it will not be easy to get in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, Liang He had no intention of letting Yan Ling know about this matter.
"I have sent people to inquire before. The people who were guarding near the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. It is a coincidence that they were all experts last night. According to their skills, if someone broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion and stole things, they would not be able to do so. You won’t be able to find it.”
Liang He said what he had planned for a long time. The patrol guards in the capital would indeed be changed regularly. With that said, there was nothing strange about it, so Yan Ling naturally didn't think much about it.
"According to this statement" Yan Ling frowned involuntarily.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who stole the jade pendant is someone from the house. And it's very likely that he is someone from your yard." Liang He's eyes were slightly cold.
If there really is such a person with ulterior motives around Yan Ling, then he should be found out whether it is for the jade pendant or not.
Somehow, Liang He thought of the boy named Nan Yan.
Although, Liang He sent someone to find out Nan Yan’s true identity before. However, before he was of some use and had not touched Yan Ling, Liang He had no intention of doing anything to him, and naturally he did not tell Yan Ling.
On the one hand, Liang He didn't want Yan Ling to know that he was investigating the people around him. On the other hand, it was also because Liang He believed that Yan Ling would have his own considerations when doing things, and he had no reason to interfere with Yan Ling.
However, if Nan Yan was really responsible for this matter, let alone Yan Ling, there was no way Liang He would let him go.
"Have you ever asked about that young man named Nan Yan?" Liang He thought for a while and then asked.
