In Yu's private school, Jiang Minghong and Shen Yu were preparing to eat when Xie Yuan walked in.

The two looked at each other, Jiang Minghong put down his chopsticks and followed him out.

Xie Yuan led Jiang Minghong to a deserted place and stood there, saying, "I'm going to Kyoto in the afternoon, and I'm afraid it will take a few days before I can get back."

Jiang Minghong nodded.

"I will tell my sister."

He paused and asked.

"What's the matter with my brother-in-law coming to Beijing at this time?"

Xie Yuan did not hide it from him and whispered: "The fifth prince's concubine passed away due to illness."

Jiang Minghong was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that he died of illness today. He didn't pay attention to the fifth prince at the beginning of his previous life. Not just him, probably no one has paid attention to him. Among the princes, he is the one with the least sense of existence.

, so he only knew that the fifth prince's concubine did not survive this summer, but he really didn't know what day she died.

"I know!"

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Xie Yuan looked at him and asked.

Jiang Minghong shook his head gently.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Goodbye, brother-in-law."

Jiang Minghong returned to the school, sat down under the curious gazes of his classmates, and picked up the chopsticks again.

When Xie Yuan came to Kyoto, the news that the fifth prince's concubine had died of illness had spread, and teahouses and restaurants were all talking about it.

Xie Yuan found a teahouse nearby and went in.

"This fifth prince is really pitiful. His biological mother was a palace maid. She died shortly after giving birth to him. When he was buried, he was only mentioned as a nobleman by the Holy Emperor.

Although he is a prince, he has never been liked by the emperor. He has no maternal family, no biological mother, and now his wife has died at a young age. Tsk tsk... I don't know how he will survive in the future. "

"No matter how miserable he is, it's easier than the rest of us. No matter how miserable he is, he is still a prince, and his life will definitely be easier than that of ordinary people like us."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the fifth prince was bullied a lot when he was a child. It would be better to be born into a royal family than to be born into a commoner's family like us."

"Shh, keep your voices down. We can't discuss the affairs of the emperor's family. You don't want your life."

…………

Xie Yuan drank tea and listened to everyone's discussion, narrowing his eyes slightly. If it was just a guess just now, now he is sure that the reason why the fifth prince's concubine died of illness spread so quickly must have been It is the work of the fifth prince.

As for the purpose, it is easy to guess. Even the common people feel that the fifth prince is so pitiful. As the emperor, I will definitely feel more sorry for my son. Because of this love and compassion, the fifth prince can plan many things.

Xie Yuan sat in the teahouse for half an hour that day and left after hearing no other useful information.

In the afternoon, Jiang Mingyue walked out of Jinxiufang, glanced around, but did not see Xie Yuan's figure, and hurried back to Zaolin Hutong. She knew that something must have happened to Brother Xie, otherwise he would not have come to pick her up.

Her suspicion was soon confirmed by her brother.

"The fifth princess died of illness?" Although she knew early on that she would not survive the summer, the news still came a bit suddenly for Jiang Mingyue.

"Brother Xie, did you say when you will be back?"

Jiang Minghong shook his head.

"But I will definitely come back before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

Jiang Mingyue said 'Oh' and sat down, looked at her younger brother and said, "I know that the fifth prince's name is Song Ren, and his biological mother is a palace maid. He has a fairly gentle personality. How much do you know about him? I don't know about the death of the fifth prince's concubine. Will it affect Sister Xie Rou?"

Jiang Minghong looked at his worried sister, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her and said, "Don't worry! The fifth prince will protect sister Xie Rou."

Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother in confusion.

For the sake of the future, Jiang Minghong decided to tell his sister something. The most important thing was to let her know that he had some "informants" in his hands.

"Because the fifth prince's biological mother is a palace maid, he has a natural affection for the palace maid, and my people found out that the person Xie Rou first served in the palace was the fifth prince."

Jiang Minghong paused and whispered: "The fifth prince's affection for sister Xie Rou is unmatched by others."

When Jiang Mingyue heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel at ease."

She leaned close to her brother and asked in a low voice: "Did your people also find out about the fifth prince's concubine?"

Jiang Minghong nodded.

Jiang Mingyue praised: "My brother is really secretive."

"It's good for us siblings to know about this."

Jiang Mingyue had an expression that I knew well.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone except Brother Xie."

Jiang Minghong smiled when he heard this. His sister was really considerate. He would explain it to Xie Yuan after he arrived in the province.

"The fifth prince's concubine is dead, and the fifth prince is still so young. Do you think the Holy Father will give him a new marriage?"

Jiang Minghong said with certainty: "Yes, but not now. Everyone in Kyoto knows that the fifth prince and his wife are deeply in love. In two or three years, the fifth prince will not remarry, and neither will the other princes." Let him remarry at this time."

Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother in confusion.

"Why?"

"My son is devastated when his wife dies. As the emperor, I will definitely feel very distressed. At this time, he will pity Song Ren very much. The wife assigned to him will never be of worse origin than the fifth prince's concubine.

Once Song Ren marries a daughter-in-law from a famous family, it will be helpful. This situation is definitely not something that other princes want to see, so they will definitely try their best to prevent it. "

Jiang Mingyue nodded thoughtfully.

"Sister, don't think about it, let's eat first! These things are still too far away for us, and no one knows what will happen in two or three years."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm', stood up and ordered the pomegranate to be served.

At the end of Xu Shi's reign in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Xie Rou entered the study carrying a food box. At this time, Song Ren looked haggard and yellow, with a pair of bloodshot eyes under his red and swollen eyelids. Everyone who saw his appearance would know how sad he was.

After Xie Rou opened the food box and put out the food, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Song Ren.

"Drink some tea! Your lips are dry."

Under the light, Xie Rou's eyes were gentle and her voice was gentle.

Song Ren took the tea, lowered his head and drank it.

"Master, no matter what you want to do, you must first take care of yourself."

Song Ren put down his tea cup and nodded.

"I will come to see you tomorrow."

Song Ren heard this and held Xie Rou's hand. The two looked at each other. Song Ren hugged Xie Rou into his arms, buried his face in her neck, and said in a low voice: "There should be chaos in the house for a while, you Just take good care of Lan'er and don't get involved with anything else."

Xie Rou hugged Song Ren and said softly, "Don't worry, I know everything."

"I will send two guards to protect you in the dark."

Xie Rou said 'hmm'.

Song Ren thought for a while and found nothing else to explain, so he withdrew his hand: "Go back!"

Xie Rou knew that she couldn't stay in the study for too long, and Song Ren also knew that, so she quickly packed her food box and walked out.
