"You...why are you!"

Lu Jiangyou reported to Mo Yunyuan as usual, but Mo Yunyuan said that it was inconvenient to meet in the mansion at this time, fearing that Jing Ming would become suspicious, he arranged for someone to meet him outside, but he did not expect that the person His Highness mentioned was Cen Zhi.

"Hmm... Your Highness arranged for me to come here..." Cen Zhi didn't know what to say, it was the same as sending Jiang You out of the house last time, the two left without saying anything.

The two were silent for a while.

Lu Jiangyou sighed lightly, so lightly that Cen Zhi thought he had heard wrong,

Lu Jiangyou told Cen Zhi what Jing Ming had arranged for him to do, and asked him to relay it to His Highness.

Cen Zhi nodded his head, indicating that he knew, "You... how have you been with Jing Ming for the past two years?"

Lu Jiangyou smiled, "Well."

There was another silence between the two.

Seeing that Cen Zhi had nothing else to ask, Lu Jiangyou said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back. Recently...don't meet if it's not necessary. I'm afraid the Second Highness will get suspicious."

"Okay..." Cen Zhi suddenly remembered what His Highness told him before he left, "By the way, before leaving, His Highness told me to tell you: I'm afraid I can't do it for you the first thing you asked for before." , but if you want, he will help you complete the second thing!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiangyou suddenly remembered what he asked for back then, looked at Cen Zhi and said, "I have also understood a lot in the past two years. The first thing I asked for back then was actually irrelevant. What I have been asking for all the time is nothing. It's the second thing!"

"You..." Cen Zhi hesitated to speak, he wanted to ask Lu Jiangyou what he wanted back then, but he didn't know what capacity he should ask.

Lu Jiangyou seemed to see what Cen Zhi was thinking, "You just need to tell His Highness what you said, and when this is done...you will know what I am asking for."

"Okay, I get it." Cen Zhi thought for a while, and still said to him, "Be more careful..."

"You too!"

Within two days, rumors of Chen Guogong's embezzlement of disaster relief funds and execution of innocent victims began to spread among the common people. Many people were very angry after hearing this. Under the leadership of some people, the trouble became bigger and bigger. .

"Father, do you want to send someone to deal with those troublemakers?"

Chen Guogong said, "What kind of tricks can a group of troublemakers do? If you encounter troublemakers again, just blast them out."

"I have already explained to the officials, I will not pay attention to them."

"Yes!"

Somehow, the emperor suddenly heard the folk rumors, and secretly summoned the county magistrate of Lingjiang to ask about the money that had been allocated for disaster relief. He was furious when he learned that the money was less than one-third of what he allocated, and ordered the people of Dali Temple to investigate the matter. .

Chen Hong, the second son of Chen Guogong, was a little panicked when he heard that the emperor started to investigate the embezzlement of disaster relief funds. "Father, what should we do? The emperor has already started to investigate this matter."

Chen Guogong, "Why panic, haven't we been found yet?"

"Yes, but..." Chen Hong was still a little worried. Seeing his father's displeased eyes, he stopped what he wanted to say, "Father taught me a lesson."

Within two days, it was rumored that the case of the Li family had something to do with Chen Guogong, and more and more unfavorable news came one after another...

Chen Hong saw that the things the Chen family had done in these years were exposed one after another, and he became more and more panicked, "Father, I want to send someone to arrest those people back then..."

Chen Guogong, "nonsense! Now the emperor said on the surface that he believed in our Chen family, but behind his back, he might be sending people to investigate this matter. If all the people who participated in the extermination of the Li family died at this time, it would prove our crime. Well!"

Chen Hong was still a little scared, "It's been so long since these things happened, and we did it in a very secretive way back then, not many people knew... who it is!" Chen Hong gritted his teeth, "Could it be the Second Highness..."

Chen Guogong shook his head, "It shouldn't be. I suspected him too, but later those people even revealed the fact that Concubine Chen had given the harem drugs over the years, implicating Concubine Chen and Ming'er's people in the court these days He was also replaced by the emperor a lot, and Jing Yuan's people even targeted Ming'er wantonly, this matter is not good for him!"

After hearing this, Chen Hong asked, "Then...is that His Highness the Sixth Prince?"

Chen Guogong shook his head slightly, "I don't know yet, I have sent someone to investigate."

Suddenly, the butler came from outside and said, "Master, the Second Highness is asking to see you outside!"

"Why is the Second Highness here at this time?" Chen Guogong frowned, and said to the butler, "Please come in, Second Highness!"

"Yes!"

"Uncle! Cousin!" Jing Ming hurried in from the outside.

Chen Guogong and Chen Hong were about to salute, but were stopped by Jing Ming, "There are no outsiders here, uncle and cousin don't have to be like this." Then he stretched out his hand to help Chen Guogong sit down.

"The Second Highness came here today... At this time, His Highness really shouldn't be walking around with our Chen residence."

Jing Ming looked a little anxious, "Uncle, I also know that the court...my concubine has also been implicated. Today, the emperor ordered to take away the title of concubine mother and confine my concubine mother in her bedroom." , order people to guard outside, and no one can approach." Then someone explained, "I was a little anxious for a while, so I came alone, but I was extremely careful along the way, and I didn't find anyone following me."

"Your Highness, don't worry, my humble minister is also..." Speaking of this, Chen Guogong sighed, "I am afraid that I will not be able to help Your Highness with the noble concubine."

"Uncle, I didn't come here just for my mother and concubine..." Jing Ming looked at the other people in the room when he said this.

The butler understood, and quietly closed the door for them before leaving.

Seeing that there were only the three of them in the room, Jing Ming began to say, "Uncle, you also know that my mother and concubine and I were not favored by the father, who liked the woman in the brothel and his son. Let me remind you, our mother and son are probably..."

Chen Guogong was also a little moved when he heard it, and he himself watched Jing Ming grow up, and stroked his head lovingly, "Why is Ming'er talking so politely?"

"Uncle, now that my mother and concubine are being demoted, and my uncle is being plotted against, if my uncle loses power, Ming'er is afraid that within a few days, he will be crowned king by his father, and he will choose a poorer fief to send to him." , don’t talk about fighting for the throne, I’m afraid it will be difficult to return to Beijing once!” Jing Ming grabbed Chen Guogong’s hand, “Uncle, if we don’t make a move, it will be too late.”

Chen Guogong also naturally understood, sighed, "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

Jing Ming glanced at Chen Hong calmly and said, "Uncle also knows that Jing Yuan's birthday will be in a few days, and Father will definitely go to his mansion to celebrate his birthday. Wei, when the time comes..."

Chen Guogong held Jing Ming's wrist with his backhand, "Your Highness, you must not say this!"

"Uncle..." Jing Ming looked anxious, "Uncle, if we wait any longer, the Chen family may be..."

"Your Highness!" Chen Guogong's voice was a bit majestic, "There are some things that cannot be said, so there is no need to mention this matter..."

"Uncle..."

"Your Highness, it's getting late, it's better for Your Highness to go back home earlier!" Chen Guogong said to Chen Hong who was at the side, "I have trouble with my legs and feet, so Hong Er will see His Highness off for me!"

Although Chen Hong didn't understand his father, he still complied, "Yes, Your Highness, please."

On the way Chen Hong sent Jing Ming out of the house, Jing Ming suddenly remembered what Lu Jiangyou said to him, "Cousin, uncle, now that uncle is old, he has a lot of worries about things, but uncle also knows that this time uncle Recently, I have been suppressed. Although my royal father has respected the Chen family on the surface these years, he has taken precautions against the Chen family. I am afraid that my royal father will not let the Chen family go this time..."

After Chen Hong heard this, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Jing Ming's saying that his father was old, he had to admit that what Jing Ming said was unreasonable, "According to His Highness?"

Jing Ming looked at the maidservants coming and going in Chen's mansion, "It's better for cousin to follow me to my mansion and explain in detail."

Chen Hong looked at the people around him and thought for a while, "That's fine, I'll go look for you in His Highness's residence tomorrow evening."

"My cousin also knows that every year on Jing Yuan's birthday, Father will go to his mansion to celebrate his birthday in person. I have kept some secret guards over the years, but those people alone are not enough..." Jing Ming handed the teacup to Chen Hong continued, "But cousin still has some military power in his hands, if..."

"You want me to help you?" Chen Hong smiled, "Your Highness, this is a serious crime of beheading!"

"Uncle, I've already planned this matter, and it won't fail." Jing Ming tempted, "When the time comes, Emperor Father will have an accident in Jing Yuan's mansion. Let's clean up the people in his mansion. I know it. But if my cousin misses the opportunity because he is overthinking, then if the people in Dali Temple find out the evidence and hand it over to my father, the Chen family will probably..."

Chen Hong clenched the teacup in his hand, "Your Highness, I have blocked all the lives of the Chen family with you, so don't let us down."

Seeing that Chen Hong agreed, Jing Ming was a little happy, "Don't worry, cousin! When I ascend the throne, I will make you a general!"

"Hahahaha, good!" Chen Hong was very pleased to hear this.

"Your Highness, everything is ready. Just wait for tomorrow..."

Cen Xing was talking to Mo Yunyuan who was writing a letter.

"En." Mo Yunyuan handed the written letter to Cen Xing, "You send this letter to the Eighth Prince's Mansion."

Cen Xing took the letter, "Yes."

Cen Zhi said, "Your Highness, today I was supposed to meet Jiang You as agreed, but he... didn't show up."

Mo Yunyuan frowned, "Hello, check it out, but what happened?"

"Yes, this subordinate will go now." Cen Zhizi was also very worried about Lu Jiangyou's safety.

"Hey, is Yun Yuan finished?" Ji Yanli, who had been left alone for a long time, couldn't help asking when he saw that the two had finally left.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with Yanli?" Mo Yunyuan looked at Ji Yanli, "Yanli doesn't have to wait for me, if you are sleepy, go back to your room and rest!"

Ji Yanli waved to Mo Yunyuan to signal him to come over and said to him, "Hmm... Is there an important matter that Yunyuan needs to help with?"

Mo Yunyuan walked over, "What's the matter?"

Ji Yanli pulled him over, and Mo Yunyuan fell into Ji Yanli's arms.

Ji Yanli began to feel restless in his hands, "It's a big deal..."

"You...don't..."

"This is the study..."

Ji Yanli's voice was a little anxious, "I know, we're not here yet... Try today..."
