The prince is hard to serve

Since that day, after Jiang Xi left Yan Wenzhi's mansion, she fell into extreme grief and grief. She couldn't sleep at night, so she paralyzed herself with alcohol and drank her sorrows all day long. Even in the past few days, Didn't even go to the court meeting.

He took leave of absence, saying he was ill.

Last night, he had another night of drinking, and there were still wine bottles scattered all over the house, which was extremely messy. It was not until nearly four o'clock that he fell into a sleepy sleep.

Therefore, when Mu Ziling visited on the second day, he hadn't got up yet.

After getting off the carriage, Mu Ziling stood in front of the gate of the Jiang Mansion, motioning for Duo Yuan to come forward and knock on the door.

When the door was opened, Li Xin, the manager of the Jiang Mansion, saw Mu Ziling, and was just stunned for a while. After recovering, he immediately saluted Mu Ziling, and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

In the past few days, ministers came to visit every day, and the third and fourth princes also sent people here, so Li Xin was not surprised that Mu Ziling would appear.

"Get up without courtesy." Mu Zi continued to ask: "Is Master Jiang all right?"

"Please trouble the imperial concubine to remember, everything is fine in my family."

Li Xin lowered his head, and after finishing speaking politely, he led Mu Ziling to the main hall, asked him to sit down, served him tea, and said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, this servant will go to invite you Your Excellency, come here."

In the past, some ministers came to visit, but Li Xin dismissed them with the excuse of 'my lord is still seriously ill', but this time it was Mu Ziling who came here in person, and Li Xin dared not call the shots.

"Okay, you go."

Nodding his head slightly, Mu Ziling signaled him to invite Jiang Xi, then reached out to pick up the teacup, lowered his eyes, and sipped the tea one by one.

After Li Xin withdrew, Duo Yuan stepped forward and whispered to Mu Ziling: "The slave found out that Mr. Jiang is not really sick, but that he seems to have something bothering him for the past few days and has been borrowing wine." Get rid of your worries."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Mu Ziling was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, he thought of what Yan Wenhao said before, and quickly guessed the reason. He couldn't help but shook his head. He sighed in his heart, and secretly said: "The word love , It really hurts people the most.

He raised his hand to touch his chest, felt the letter hidden in his chest, Mu Ziling couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable.

He actually knew that using this letter to deal with Jiang Xi was very despicable, and to Jiang Xi, it was even more cruel.

But people's hearts are biased, and he is no exception. Although he can't forgive Yan Wenhao for what he did before, and trust him as before, he likes Yan Wenhao. This is always true and cannot be denied. Can't change either.

For Yan Wenhao, he could only choose to be cruel and despicable to Jiang Xi once.

Because, no matter what, he was always unwilling to see Yan Wenhao in any predicament and get hurt in the slightest.

Standing aside, Duo Duan saw that Mu Ziling was lost in thought and ignored himself, so he had no choice but to stand up again obediently, swallowing all the words that followed.

Sipping tea quietly, Mu Ziling sat in the hall, and waited for about a stick of incense before Jiang Xi walked in with a very calm expression.

Standing in the center of the main hall, Jiang Xi bowed to Mu Ziling, and then respectfully said, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Mu Ziling smiled and said, "Master Jiang, hurry up and excuse me."

"Thank you, Princess."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xi stood up straight, then turned his head, gave Li Xin a look, and signaled him to go outside and wait.

"Yes." Li Xin nodded, and after saluting to Mu Ziling, he led the other servants and retreated together.

When only Jiang Xi, Mu Ziling, and Duo Yuan were left in the main hall, Jiang Xi spoke again, without beating around the bush, he asked directly: "Did the Second Highness send you to be a lobbyist? If so, would you Please go back, I will not agree."

He looked at Mu Ziling indifferently, his tone was very firm, and his attitude was also very firm.

He thought that Mu Ziling, like the previous ministers, was here to persuade him to switch to Yan Wenhao's camp and work for Yan Wenhao.

For Jiang Xi, even though Concubine Liang and Yan Wenzhi made him heartbroken, he still will not forget that he once liked someone so much, and that love has always been there, so he is not Will choose to stand on their hostile side.

He was tired, and all he wanted now was to rest and not get involved in any partisan strife.

He no longer cares who wins and who loses.

Frowning, Mu Ziling said, "I think you misunderstood Mr. Jiang. I didn't come here today to be a lobbyist, to persuade Mr. Jiang to do something for His Highness. I came here to ask you for a favor." of."

"help?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xi turned his head, looked at Mu Ziling suspiciously, then looked away, and said softly: "Is the imperial concubine looking for the wrong person? You are the imperial concubine, and your father is Prime Minister Mu. If so If you really need help, you should find him."

Mu Ziling shook his head, and said very seriously: "No, I didn't find the wrong person, because this matter is of great importance, and it must be Master Jiang."

After a pause, before Jiang Xi could ask again, Mu Ziling had already explained, telling Jiang Xi about Duke Huai's conspiracy.

"...Duke Huai's ambitions are clear. Over the years, he has privately raised 5 soldiers and horses. Now they are all gathered outside the city. They only need to give an order to attack the capital."

"...He is going to join forces with Concubine Liang and other ministers in the court to surround the imperial city on His Majesty's birthday, raise troops to plot rebellion, and threaten His Majesty to abdicate."

Hearing this, Jiang Xi's face suddenly changed, his expression was extremely solemn, his eyes were fixed on Mu Ziling, and he frowned and said, "Do you know what you just said?"

Mu Ziling looked at him without fear: "Of course I know."

Looking at Mu Ziling's expression, Jiang Xi's brows were tightly furrowed. He had already believed in these words for five or six points in his heart. After thinking for a while in silence, he said, "Why are you and the Second Highness so important? Instead of directly reporting to His Majesty, come to me instead?"

Mu Ziling smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "In recent years, Your Majesty has become more and more suspicious. Now, we don't have any evidence in our hands, so how could Your Majesty trust us?"

Tightly pursing the corners of his lips, Jiang Xi stared at Mu Ziling for a long time, his mind was full of thoughts, and soon he understood, he sneered, and asked: "I don't have any evidence, come and find Me, why on earth?"

He had already guessed the reason why Yan Wenhao was unwilling to directly report to Emperor Yan.

His expression changed several times, and Jiang Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It turned out that he was really wrong at the beginning, and they all ignored the second prince who had been ill for many years.

Yan Wenhao is actually far more than what they saw, so the reason is that there are too many palaces.

Mu Ziling glanced at Jiang Xi, and said: "Master Jiang, we need a piece of evidence that can be presented to His Majesty to convince him..."

Having said this, Mu Ziling's eyes flashed a trace of unbearable, he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "As I said before, Duke Huai is going to cooperate with Concubine Liang and other ministers to coerce His Majesty to abdicate. ..."

"I don't know who the other ministers are or how many there are. Therefore, Concubine Liang is the most important person. She must have evidence of Duke Huai's rebellion and the list of those ministers. We need you, Mr. Jiang, from Liang In the hands of the concubine, get the list and evidence."

Hearing these words, Jiang Xi couldn't help but sneered, but there was a trace of bitterness in his tone, he smiled indifferently, and asked: "I'm just a courtier, how can I get evidence from Concubine Liang?" and list?"

Looking at him, Mu Ziling's expression was calm, and he must have said: "Except for Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid there is no one else who can get the evidence and the list from the hands of the concubine Liang."

Hearing this, Jiang Xi suddenly raised his head, terrified: "You..."

However, when he met Mu Ziling's eyes full of thoroughness and understanding, he finally couldn't help laughing bitterly, and there was no need to say the following words.
