Inside Prince Ning’s Mansion.

Jing Zhan received news of the re-election for the various official positions in the Capital Protection Camp, and waited for Cang Min to leave the court at Prince Ning's mansion early in the morning.

"This trick is a bit strange. I've never heard of it before."

Cang Min slowly stroked the edge of the white cup and spoke thoughtfully.

"Yeah, this trick is indeed quite clever." Jing Zhan has been thinking a lot.

"Everyone knows that the title of General Commander of the Cangyu Capital Defense Camp granted to Prince Sheng by His Majesty is just an empty favor, and the real power is still in the hands of the original owner. This situation has lasted for thirty years, and His Majesty has long been helpless. But Prince Sheng's move disrupted the situation and was really unexpected, especially the fact that he put forward his own rights as the General Commander for election, which showed absolute fairness and left the five camps speechless. This is really high."

Prince Ning Cangmin and Jing Zhan looked at each other and saw admiration in each other's eyes.

"It seems that King Sheng has not only been baptized on the battlefield, but his political scheming should not be underestimated. We did not kill him on his way back to the city, which might have caused trouble for us."

Jing Zhan has always been upset about the fact that the several groups of assassins he sent out failed to kill or seriously injure Cangyu.

"From my observations before he left at the age of sixteen, Cang Yu shouldn't have such a mind and plan. Maybe he has had some expert around him in the past few years?"

Cang Min looked into the distance, concentrating on thinking quietly, secretly calculating in his mind, when suddenly a white figure appeared in his mind.

No, she was just a little girl.

However, that day, Prince Sheng Cangyu had been by the woman's side the entire time, never leaving her side. It was also obvious that it was Prince Sheng who took the initiative to approach her, rather than the woman clinging to him. This was very strange.

The woman in white has a stunning face, a cold temperament, a dignified demeanor, and unfathomable talent. Although she is always low-key, she is always cunning. Could such a strange idea come from that woman?

He lowered his eyes and smiled, shaking off this ridiculous thought.

"He has been away from the Imperial City for three years. He has not been back in Kyoto for long. I haven't seen him get close to anyone."

Jing Zhan and Cang Min had the same thoughts, but they were also puzzled.

"Brother Crown Prince should be very excited right now. They will not miss this opportunity to take charge of the Gyeonggi Defense Camp."

"We will wait and see what happens. Inform Song Qi, the commander of the fifth battalion of the protection battalion, that it is important to keep the position of commander of one battalion first. We must not take it lightly."

"Ok."

While the parties were troubled by the military camp election, Cangyu was sitting on the roof, looking at the pear blossoms on the tree in the courtyard next door.

The full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month hangs quietly in the sky. The bright white light makes the stars compete with each other for glory. It is like a party and feast, and the night sky is very dazzling.

The woman walked out of the house, still wearing a white casual dress. The fabric looked soft and comfortable, the style was simple and elegant, without any complicated decoration, and she looked neat and refreshing.

The cuffs are different from the common wide sleeves, and there is no extra belt at the waist. The slim cut outlines the woman's slender arms and long and soft waist.

Qian You stretched lazily under the big pear tree, moved his neck, and suddenly glanced at the roof next door.

Cangyu was still staring blankly at the white figure that finally appeared. He forgot to hide his body for a moment and was exposed to the woman's sight.

After a while, Cangyu took the initiative to float down under the big pear tree in the courtyard.

Looking closely at the person he hadn't seen for several days and smelling the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from her body, at this moment, his heart felt fuller than ever before, and he felt like he was truly alive again.

"Your Highness Prince Sheng, you need to change your habit of always sitting on the roof. It's cold and you'll get sick."

"Are you concerned about me?" Cangyu couldn't help but feel happy.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yun Qianyou unconsciously retracted his joking thoughts, the man in front of him was not mentally normal.

"I mean, don't always look down at my yard from a high place."

Qian You took a glance and told him bluntly.

"I was thinking about some issues. There were some things I couldn't figure out, so I sat there for a while."

Cangyu hurriedly explained, although his explanation was useless.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to spy on you."

Just wanted to see you...

The latter sentence was what was in his heart, but unfortunately, he didn't dare say it out loud for fear of scaring her.

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is extremely capable. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Yun Qianyou glanced at Cangyu with a joking smile, then turned and walked into the house.

"Wait, can we wait?"

Cangyu asked nervously in a low voice.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Yun Qianyou turned around and stopped.

After several contacts, she knew that King Sheng had no ill intentions. Although she didn't know where his familiarity came from, she thought about her identity and her mission. Since she couldn't control his whereabouts, it was better for her to avoid him.

"I can't figure out one thing, which is exactly what you have arranged before, but I don't know where the key is. I am planning to apply it, but this matter is serious, and I would like to ask you for some details."

Cangyu bowed solemnly, and Yun Qianyou quickly moved aside.

"Your Highness Prince Sheng, you can't do this."

"No, I respect your talent very much and I am sincerely seeking your advice."

"If there is anything I can do to help you, Your Highness, please feel free to ask."

Yun Qianyou sighed lightly and thought, if you can't hide, then don't hide.

"I saw the young lady use the election tactic a few days ago to easily settle the five people sent by Madam Li. It can be said that she did it without bloodshed and her mind was very clever."

Five people? Competing for the position? You were watching me from the other side at that time?

We hadn’t met at the Flower Festival at that time, right?

Yun Qianyou rolled his eyes in his heart, and secretly felt that what he said about knowing her and looking for her a long time ago might not be a joke.

Just, why?

At that time, it was only the second day since she returned to Kyoto. Apart from her own people, she didn't know anyone else. It was impossible for anyone in Kyoto to know her, and no one should pay attention to her, because she was just a woman in the backyard of one of the many officials' homes in the capital, and a little concubine's daughter. She had never shown any abilities and should not be paid attention to.

At this moment, she looked at him seriously, turned her body, and stood facing Cangyu.

"Your Majesty, please tell me. It would be a great honor for me if I could help you."

Cangyu looked at the woman's expressions and movements in a flash, and his heart also became serious.

"I was appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of the Capital Protection Camp and serve as the chief commander. However, the five camps of the protection camp have been under the control of different forces for a long time, and it has been difficult to break the division for decades. Now they are even more scattered, and their combat effectiveness is worrying."

Cangyu looked at the woman whose expression was gradually becoming serious, and continued.

"The Gyeonggi Protection Camp is the last line of defense of the imperial city. I need to truly control the real power. But relying on the imperial edict alone is meaningless. When I saw the girl's clever ideas that day, I suddenly thought of whether I could solve this problem through elections. Yesterday, I proposed in the military camp that I should re-elect all the positions of my position as the general governor, the governor of the five camps, the head of a thousand households, and the head of a hundred households, including my position as the general governor. However, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't have a mature operational idea at present. How can I ensure that everything is foolproof?"

"This matter concerns whether the power of 100,000 soldiers will fall into the hands of others, and concerns the safety of the imperial city."

When Cangyu said this, he stared into the woman's eyes seriously, as if he was entrusting her with something solemnly.

Yes, the reason why he chose to be honest with her was that he knew she must have a deeper understanding of election operations, which would be helpful to him. Moreover, she had led troops to fight back to Dongcang in her previous life. In this life, he hoped to change the trajectory of her previous life from this moment on, so that she could participate in the construction of Dongcang with him and have the opportunity to have more feelings for Dongcang.

Yun Qianyou was surprised at this time.

What is this topic?

Could such state affairs be discussed with a little girl like her in the harem?

Or should we talk in this courtyard, under the pear tree?

Does he trust himself so much, or isn't he afraid that walls may have ears?
