admiration

Zhu Qiming glanced sideways and saw that Jiang Wan was holding a small box and a booklet of erotic palaces in his hand. He immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing: "I never thought that Mr. Jiang would know these things?"

Jiang Wan sneered secretly, thanks to Concubine Jing, she already knew about personnel and affairs better than anyone else.

She didn't explain much, but handed the brochure to Zhu Qiming, and whispered mysteriously: "I found this specially for you, Your Highness, would you like to have a look?"

Zhu Qiming caught a glimpse of the two undressed men pictured on the cover, and shook his head, "No need, just ask someone to settle the matter. This prince will find a way to search the Zhuangyuan's mansion."

"The minister will make arrangements first." Jiang Wan withdrew her hand, stuffed the booklet and the small box back into her sleeves, saluted and left, and took a carriage to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother went out to play early in the morning, and Ming Shu was nowhere to be seen. Only two masters, Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi, remained in the huge Zhuangyuan Mansion. Leave plenty of room.

Jiang Wan is Xiao Zhijin's sibling, the servants were not surprised to see her here, and after saluting, they resumed their business at hand.When the housekeeper heard about her coming, he came out to welcome her, and said, "I've seen Lord Jiang, my master is in the backyard, and the servant has ordered someone to call."

"No, I'll go find him."

Jiang Wan carried the things in her bosom carefully, not daring to let the housekeeper see them, this thing is not suitable for Xiao Zhi to be exhausted in public, otherwise her life will be in danger.

Someone had already gone down to report, but the butler didn't stop him, but just looked a few more times curiously, and watched them leave.

The little servant was quick on his legs and quickly found Xiao Zhijin. He was lying on a specially placed recliner in the yard, reading a book with a book in his hand, and was sleeping soundly on his lap with someone in his arms.

This young man often came to pass on messages, he was used to this kind of scene, he was not surprised, he walked over and said softly: "My lord, Master Jiang is here."

Xiao Zhijin was very comfortable hugging the man, he was unavoidably displeased to be interrupted suddenly, he frowned and glanced at the servant, expressionlessly said: "Understood, step back."

The servant left in response, not daring to look at His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

Xiao Zhijin put the book in his hands away, and patted Mo Yichi's back lightly to wake him up.

Mo Yichi was addicted to sleep and refused to open his eyes. He rubbed his face a few times, and struggled to get up, eyes bleary.

"Get up, I'll be seen by Jiang Wan later." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but pecked him twice on the face, even coaxing and hugging him, which finally made him sober up.

When Mo Yanchi packed up, Jiang Wan from outside just happened to walk in, seeing Mo Yanchi at first glance, she immediately lost the courage to die.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Zhijin asked.

Jiang Wan blinked, and said: "Just now I went to the eldest prince's place and saw that he was not seriously injured, so I left. On the way... I brought you something."

"what?"

"It's a good thing, I've been looking for it for a long time, I'll take it apart later." Jiang Wan handed the things to Xiao Zhijin, looking at the sky with a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhijin's curiosity was not strong, so he put away his things and said seriously, "How is Zhu Qiming's preparations going?"

"I have already negotiated with Nie Cheng. These days, he has been secretly dispatching people, and he can enter the imperial city at any time."

Jiang Wan thought of Nie Cheng's eagerness to love his daughter, and couldn't help sneering. A person who can't even recognize his own daughter has any qualifications to talk about the relationship between father and daughter.

Xiao Zhijin never tried to persuade Jiang Wan, and now that the big event was approaching, he couldn't help but feel worried, and asked, "What's your plan when things happen in the future?"

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Go back to Jiangzhou."

"Aren't you going to stay in Beijing? It's good to have someone to take care of you." Xiao Zhijin didn't express his worries, but said indirectly.

The woman in front of her was transparent, she knew everything, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't kill myself. And Jiangzhou... I still have some thoughts."

Xiao Zhi finally heard her mention about Jiangzhou, he couldn't help being a little surprised, he knew that someone was helping Jiang Wan behind the scenes, but he couldn't find out the identity of that person, and he never asked about it, for fear that Jiang Wan would be upset.

Now that Jiang Wan said that, I think she has opened up a lot.

"That way, I'm relieved." Xiao Zhijin heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wan is like a sister to Xiao Zhijin, there is nothing wrong with nagging, and Jiang Wan doesn't find it annoying, and promises to explain everything clearly when she leaves, so that Xiao Zhijin can rest assured.

Her road is not too difficult, but Xiao Zhijin and Mo Yichi are more difficult. Jiang Wan said worriedly: "The eldest prince deliberately guided you that day, and after His Majesty left, many people were talking about your affairs. Someone asked me to come here."

"You don't need to answer, it's not their turn to talk about our affairs." Mo Yanchi opened his mouth with displeasure on his brows.

"Then in the future?" Jiang Wan didn't look at Xiao Zhijin, but stared at Mo Yanchi, waiting for an answer.

Mo Yanchi seemed to be thinking about this question for the first time. He didn't even hesitate, and said with a smile: "If I become a king in the future, I will make a male queen, so that I will go down in history forever."

"..." probably left a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Xiao Zhijin stopped his words immediately, and said a little seriously: "No nonsense, do you think Min Chao lived too long and forced people to rebel?"

Mo Yanchi was blunt, and just as he was about to refute, a young servant rushed in, knelt and said: "My lord, the eunuch of the palace is here to announce the decree, please accept the decree with your Highness the Second Prince."

Xiao Zhi heard the words, looked at the two of them, nodded and went out to the front hall together to receive the order.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhao said: My son is tired of being late, talented and intelligent, handsome and diligent in learning, with virtue and ability, he should be established as the crown prince to consolidate the foundation of the country... On August 19, [-]th year of Hongzhi, he was awarded a treasure book , was established as the crown prince, and was seated in the East Palace.

Sun Shi, the daughter of Lord Jiayu, is gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified. She was conferred the title of Crown Princess and made her a family member. With Yan Guozuo, she was married three days after the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, and hereby. "

"Son, thank you Lord for your kindness." Mo Yanchi kowtowed three times steadily, raised his hand to accept the imperial edict, and got up with the support of Eunuch Li. Even though he was given the marriage, he still didn't see the slightest bit of gloom, and he was extremely calm. Like a person who wants to be crowned prince and marry the princess.

Eunuch Li looked at the three of them. Except for Jiang Wan's face, the other two were as calm as usual, not at all what Emperor Hongzhi was worried about.

He helped Mo Yanchi up, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"Thank you, Eunuch, for making this trip." Mo Yanchi glanced at the butler, and the butler understood, took out a purse with silver sealed in it, and handed it to Eunuch Li, "I have a little heart, I hope Eunuch will not refuse."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Normally, one would get a reward for reading out a happy event, so Eunuch Li would not refuse to thank him, so he accepted it frankly, and said, "Since Your Highness wants to be crowned crown prince, the surname engraved on the jade will be 'Zhu' in the future." ’, as for the name, Your Majesty is used to reading it as ‘I am tired of being late’, so I took the word Biao and used it as an ultimatum.”

Mo Yanchi has nothing to do with it, "But follow my father's orders."

Eunuch Li hesitated to speak, looked back and forth between him and Xiao Zhijin, finally did not speak again, bowed and left.

Jiang Wan watched Eunuch Li go away, and then said in surprise: "Why did you even give me a marriage, then you..."

"Your Majesty has already guessed a thing or two, it's not good to ask directly about this matter, so he simply granted a marriage and cut off our thoughts." Xiao Zhi said nonchalantly.

His expression was too calm, Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask, "You already knew?"

"I know everything about His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Seeing him smiling triumphantly, Jiang Wan cupped her hands and said, "Farewell." She didn't want to be shown at all.

"Father is also relieved. He actually arranges the marriage after the grand ceremony, so he is not afraid of changes." Mo Yanchi stroked every word of the imperial decree, and his fingertips rested on the "Crown Prince".

As luck would have it, three years ago he was just a little boy playing games in the countryside. Once he was found, he was forced to be involved in the torrent. Originally, he had no intention of being the throne.

Xiao Zhijin also felt a lot of emotion, but this imperial decree does not mean the end, they can't relax, the road ahead will be more dangerous and difficult, he must be extremely cautious, so as to protect him from time to time.

"Perhaps we didn't expect us to be so bold, and dare to ask Zhu Qiming to force the palace after being warned." Xiao Zhizhi said.

"There is no basis for this matter, and it will not be up to you to pursue it in the future. But since His Majesty refuses to cooperate, how will Dai Yan be brought into the palace?"

Xiao Zhijin pondered for a moment, and said: "I have considered this matter, and on that day, I will find an opportunity to drink sweat medicine under your majesty's wine glass, and bribe the imperial doctor to say that your majesty has a sudden cold, and see if Dai Yan will fall into the trap, if he doesn't come It is not a loss to bring down Concubine Jing and Zhu Qiming."

This is not the only chance to get rid of Dai Yan, Ming Shu has been entangled with him for so long and never hurt one or two, Xiao Zhijin has only been in contact with him for a year or two, even if he fails, it is expected.

He didn't expect Dai Yan to be caught just once, but Mo Yichi felt resentment in his heart, he was afraid that he would do something drastic.Xiao Zhi couldn't help but glanced at him twice, and decided not to leave every step these days, looking at Mo Yanchi.

Jiang Wan believed in Xiao Zhijin's ability, and nodded in agreement, "That's fine, but it's still the same sentence, don't move the imperial concubine."

"Okay, I must leave it for you to do it yourself. Find an opportunity to contact Xing Yan and add more people to follow you. First, it can ensure safety, and second, it is more convenient to do it. Concubine Jing also has a few hidden guards around her."

"I know, but no matter how many hidden guards there are, I don't believe she can escape from the General's Mansion." Jiang Wan squinted her eyes, her tone permeating.

Although the General's Mansion was not as heavily guarded as the Imperial Palace, it was a general's mansion anyway, and there was a constant stream of patrolling guards. If Nie Cheng deliberately arranged for the guards to surround Concubine Jing's bedroom, it would be difficult for her to fly with her wings.

Concubine Jing was handed over to Jiang Wan, thinking that nothing would go wrong, so Xiao Zhijin didn't get distracted from staring at the general's mansion.

Ever since Zhu Qiming knew Dai Yan's identity, he deliberately alienated him. Dai Yan was arrogant and arrogant. Seeing that Zhu Qiming was out of control, he left the Grand Prince's Mansion angrily, and his whereabouts were uncertain.

General Wei Ling could only rely on his contact with Concubine Jing to know his approximate hiding place. For fear of scaring the snake, Xiao Zhi did not let them continue to investigate, just keep an eye on that area.
