Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

His Highness Prince Jin came to see me?

When Scarface heard this, he turned around and saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

Wearing a python robe, he stood upright, with a gentle expression and a majestic air.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Scarface struggled to sit up.

"It's good to lie down."

Prince Jin stepped forward, his tone as gentle as ever.

Scarface looked at His Highness Prince Jin who was very close at hand, recalling the inhuman torture he had suffered during this period, his eyes filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Someone...is going to target Your Highness."

King Jin nodded slightly: "I already know about this, so you can rest assured and recover. Don't think too much. I am still waiting for you to recover and transfer the money elsewhere."

The scarred face was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "It's so good, why did His Highness do this?"

King Jin sighed leisurely: "Although Mu Ying is dead, my father still doubts me. He summoned me to the palace a few days ago. His words were full of temptations. After much thought, I decided it would be better to change the money to another place. "

Scarface hesitated for a moment and said: "I thought that the money in Jiazhou Mansion was still safe and did not need to be transferred. The money left with Mr. Zhao really had to be moved. After all, if such a big thing happened in Jiangdong, Mr. Zhao would definitely do it. affected."

King Jin looked thoughtful, and nodded after a moment: "That makes sense...take good care of your health. It's up to you to handle this matter. I can't trust anyone else."

Scarface asked: "How long has the humble position been imprisoned?"

King Jin said: "Five days."

Scarface thought for a while and said: "Since Your Highness has decided to transfer the money, it is better to move as quickly as possible. The same is true for letting Zheng Ping handle this matter."

King Jin frowned slightly: "I talked to him about this matter yesterday, and he told me that he couldn't remember where the money was..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Scarface trembling slightly, his pupils shrinking slightly, looking at him with frightened eyes.

Xiao Green Tea, who was pretending to be King Jin, felt his heart sinking and pretended to be confused: "What's wrong?"

Scarface said in a trembling voice: "You...you are not His Highness the King of Jin, who are you?"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Little Green Tea stopped pretending and sighed Youyou: "How did you find out?"

There was resentment in Scarface's eyes and he remained silent.

Little Green Tea stared at him and said coldly: "This matter is not important to Prince Jin, but it is very important to you... I can save you from some torture."

Recalling the inhuman torture he suffered during this period, Scarface hesitated a little and told the truth: "You are very similar in imitation, but after all, he is not His Highness the King of Jin. You can't tell the difference for a while, but you can tell after getting along for a long time." , but I wasn’t sure in my heart, so I tried a little bit.”

Having said this, he paused and continued: "There is no guard named Zheng Ping in Prince Jin's palace."

"So, it is true that the money is placed in Jiangdong Master Zhao and Jiazhou Mansion?"

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows and raised a smile on her lips.

Scarface's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal, and said calmly: "Just fooling around."

"Ah!"

Jiang Chuyue sneered, too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, and controlled her soul to leave his dream.

…………

Renfu.

In the courtyard.

Jiang Chuyue's eyelashes quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking up, she saw Ren Pingsheng and that "Mr. Xiao" looking at her expectantly.

"I...I'm...I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Little Green Tea lowered her eyes slightly, showing a guilty look.

"It failed."

Ren Pingsheng's heart sank, but he quickly cheered up, reached out to touch her little head, and comforted her softly: "This is just an attempt, don't take it to heart, we will find a solution later."

In just half a year of knowing each other, this is the first time that the prince has made such an intimate move towards him.

Little Green Tea's heart trembled as she listened to the gentle voice in her ears.

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly became serious, blinked his eyes, and said softly: "That person is very vigilant. He found out that I was fake after only a few words of conversation, but he also got some information.

He said that the money of the Jin Dynasty was kept in two places, one was Jiazhou Mansion, and the other was Mr. Zhao in Jiangdong. Where exactly it was and who Mr. Zhao was, no one had time to ask. "

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Rongxue, faced Ren Pingsheng, and said pitifully: "My lord, are you so useless... It would be great if I could be as capable as Young Master Xiao, so that I can share more burdens for your eldest son." Some."

"..."

Xiao Rongxue was excited. When she heard these words, her expression froze.

aside.

Ren Pingsheng didn't think much about it, his heart was full of joy.

"Jiazhou Mansion, Jiangdong Master Zhao...it is enough to know these two points!"

His brows were full of smiles: "Miss Chuyue is already very capable."

Little Green Tea seemed to be very impressed by his praise. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "As long as I can share the prince's worries, I will work hard to become more capable!"

Xiao Rongxue looked at them expressionlessly and said calmly: "What should we do next?"

Ren Pingsheng thought for a moment and said word by word: "Enter the palace to meet the saint."

Jiazhou Prefecture is located in Jiangdong, covering a vast area.

With his power alone, trying to find the specific location where the silver is hidden in Yifu is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, we can only rely on the emperor's power.

"If the emperor asked you how you got the news, what would you say?" Xiao Rongxue asked with a serious expression.

Ren Pingsheng said: "Tell me the truth."

Xiao Rongxue frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Prince Jin is a prince after all. Even if the emperor knows the truth, I am afraid he will condone and cover up."

Ren Pingsheng said: "What does he do to his son have to do with me? All I have to do is to recover the silver and rescue the people of the Mu Mansion."

Xiao Rongxue said again: "If the Prince Jin gets the news, I am afraid he will target you."

A sharp light burst out from Ren Pingsheng's eyes, and he said coldly: "Before that, he should be worried about whether he will be targeted by this prince."

He said this not on impulse.

The assassin who assassinated himself and his sister-in-law before had a thousand connections with the governor of Jiangdong.

Now, the money of the Prince Jin is in Jiangdong.

Not surprisingly, the governor of Jiangdong and the Prince Jin are birds of a feather. The Prince Jin may be behind the assassination.

Since this is the case, they will face each other sooner or later, so what is there to fear?

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue was slightly startled, then realized something and asked in surprise: "You want to attack the King of Jin?"

Ren Pingsheng said calmly: "Why not?"

Xiao Rongxue hesitated: "After all, he is a prince, a prince, and in the capital."

"Let's talk about the future later, let's solve the current problem first... Besides, he may not be able to guess that it was me who attacked him."

Ren Pingsheng was as calm as ever.

Although he didn't believe that he could deal with the King of Jin, seeing that he was so confident, Xiao Rongxue felt much more at ease, and couldn't help thinking: "Maybe, he really has a way to deal with the revenge of the King of Jin."

"I'm going to the palace, don't attack Scarface before I come back."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

"Okay." Xiao Rongxue nodded gently.

"I listen to the prince." Little Green Tea blinked gently, her voice soft.

"..."

Xiao Rongxue glanced at her and fell silent.

…………

Qianqing Palace.

Study room

Emperor Zhaowu stood by the window, looking at the blue sky, his eyes were deep, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

Behind him.

The eunuch Wang Zheng walked forward slowly and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Yunhe has not eaten a grain of rice since yesterday morning. Do you think you should let Prince Ren go to Yong'an Palace?"

Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly: "If she doesn't eat, she is not hungry. When she is hungry, she will eat naturally."

Retracting his gaze, he walked to the dragon chair and sat down, looking at Wang Zheng: "Send someone to tell her what she did in the hunting ground. She knows it in her heart. I didn't issue an edict to reprimand her because I gave her face. If she continues to make trouble and make unreasonable troubles, she will not be able to leave the palace even after a month, not to mention a year."

"This..."

Wang Zheng hesitated and said: "You know the temper of His Majesty Yunhe. Will this hurt her too much?"

"It hurts."

Emperor Zhaowu didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone gradually became cold: "I used to be too arrogant to them, so they developed such a temper!"

Watching Emperor Zhaowu grow up since he was a child, Wang Zheng knew what he was thinking.

But since it involved the princes and princesses, it was inconvenient to speak. After hesitating for a while, he nodded: "I obey your order."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, the emperor called him again.

Wang Zheng stopped and turned to look at Emperor Zhaowu.

Emperor Zhaowu thought for a few seconds and said slowly: "Tell Yunhe that if she behaves well, I will allow her to move out of Yong'an Palace in a month."

Among the princes and princesses, only Yunhe has a simple personality and regards him as a father, not the emperor.

He didn't want to ruin this last family relationship because of some insignificant things.

"I obey your order."

Wang Zheng smiled, saluted and turned to leave.

After he left.

Emperor Zhaowu was the only one left in the huge study.

Empty, alone.

After more than 20 years on the throne, he had long been accustomed to this. Emperor Zhaowu had a blank expression on his face, reached out and picked up a memorial and read it.

After a while.

A clear voice sounded outside the door.

"Zhenbei Prince Ren Pingsheng wants to see Your Majesty!"

"Approved."

The curtain was lifted.

Ren Pingsheng walked into the study, saluted properly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Emperor Zhaowu did not raise his head, and said in a flat tone: "Speak."

Ren Pingsheng did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "I have learned where the silver that Mu Ying embezzled is roughly hidden, but the specific location is still unknown."

"Then wait until you know it, and then report to me."

"..."

The father-in-law does not play by the rules.

Normal, shouldn't you ask where the general location is?

Ren Pingsheng thought about it and said: "I want to ask Your Majesty to borrow someone."

Emperor Zhaowu looked up at him and asked: "Who?"

"Lord Xu, the Left Censor of the Censorate."

Ren Pingsheng said seriously: "As long as Lord Xu asks a few questions, I can find out the specific location of the silver."

The voice fell.

Emperor Zhaowu instantly understood his intention and said nothing.

"Just asking a few questions will earn you five million taels of silver. What's there to hesitate about?"

Ren Pingsheng didn't understand what his father-in-law was thinking.

Could it be that he knew that the silver was actually embezzled by his third son and didn't want to make a big deal out of it?

Indeed.

According to Xiao Rongxue, Lord Xu of the Censorate hated evil and had repeatedly opposed his father-in-law without giving in.

If he were to investigate the case, the prince would be guilty of the same crime as the common people. If the prince of Jin was put in jail, the emperor's plea would be useless. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

But... isn't this exactly what he wanted?

With this thought, Ren Pingsheng spoke again: "It involves five million taels of silver. I beg your majesty to agree."

Emperor Zhaowu looked up at him: "What if you can't get any results?"

Then if you can't get any results, what else can you do?

You can't just chop me off because I didn't handle the case well. I'm not your Jinyiwei.

By the way, I do seem to have a flying fish suit.

Ren Pingsheng suppressed his dissatisfaction and said solemnly: "I am not completely sure, but I just want Lord Xu to ask a few questions. If it succeeds, we can recover 5 million taels of silver. If it fails, it will not be a loss to the court. I think it is worth a try."

"It is related to the majesty of the court. Everyone knows that the words of the third-rank scholar are followed by the law. If others encounter problems and come to me to borrow people like you, will I lend them or not?"

Emperor Zhaowu said in a flat tone.

Ren Pingsheng said: "I am different from them."

"What is the difference?"

"I am your majesty's son-in-law."

Ren Pingsheng made full use of his thick skin advantage and tried to make friends with the emperor from time to time.

"..."

Emperor Zhaowu was speechless for a while.

Ren Pingsheng said again: "In addition, the most important thing is that I handle the case not only for the little Tianshi, but also for your majesty. The majesty of the court is naturally important, but 5 million taels of silver are equally important.

I am willing to bear the stigma of ignoring the dignity of the court, share your majesty's worries, and recover these silvers."

The voice fell.

The study fell into silence.

After a moment.

Emperor Zhaowu spoke slowly: "I can't speak about this matter. You go find him yourself. If he is willing, then he is willing. If he is not willing, I can't do anything."

Doesn't this mean that he said nothing?

He is a great third-rank scholar and a second-rank official. Whether in terms of cultivation or official position, he can catch up with my father.

Why do you come to help me for no reason?

Just because the five million taels of silver are the fat of the people extorted by corrupt officials?

It seems... it's not impossible.

Let alone that he is the Left Censor-in-Chief and it is his duty to supervise all officials. Just say that with his hatred of evil and his strong and upright character, he should not refuse after hearing about this, right?

With this thought, Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated and saluted: "I understand. I will leave."

After that, he turned around and left without staying.

Emperor Zhaowu stood there, watching his back disappear from his sight, his eyes flickering, and I don't know what he was thinking.

…………

After coming out of the palace.

Ren Pingsheng ran straight to the Censorate, and when he arrived at the gate, he saw two officers standing there, with their backs straight and motionless.

"Apart from anything else, judging from the appearance of the gatekeepers, the Censorate is indeed far superior to other yamen.

It's a good thing, after all, the more upright the Left Censor-in-Chief is, the greater the possibility of success."

Thinking so, he stepped forward.

"The yamen is a key place, no one is allowed to enter!"

The two officers stretched out their hands to stop Ren Pingsheng, their expressions serious and their tone solemn.

Ren Pingsheng took a step back and said solemnly: "Zhenbei Prince Ren Pingsheng, I want to see Zuodu Censor Xu."

Zhenbei Prince?

The officer looked him up and down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let me report this."

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, "Of course."

The officer turned and left, and returned to the door a moment later, saying seriously, "Minister Xu wants to see you."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, walked into the yamen, and went straight into the lobby, where he saw a middle-aged man with regular features and sharp edges sitting behind a desk, holding a brush in his hand, reviewing something.

Perhaps he heard footsteps.

He put down the brush, looked up at Ren Pingsheng, and asked with a gentle look: "Why did Prince Ren come to me?"

Ren Pingsheng didn't waste words and went straight to the point: "Does Lord Xu know about the Mu Ying case?"

Hearing the name Mu Ying, Xu Ruxian showed a trace of regret on his face and sighed: "Of course I know. I have met Mu Ying a few times. I thought he was an honest man, but I didn't expect that, hey..."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Lord Mu may not be an honest person, but sometimes, the more honest you are, the easier it is to be controlled and used by others to do things you don't want to do."

Hearing this, Xu Ruxian realized something and looked at Ren Pingsheng, a little surprised: "Does Prince Ren mean that there is something strange behind this matter?"

"..."

Hearing this question, Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a while.

A small fifth-rank doctor dared to commit such a big case and embezzled a full five million taels of silver.

This matter should not be normal in anyone's eyes.

But the chief officer of the Censorate was surprised to hear the news.

For a moment, Ren Pingsheng was a little confused, whether he was pretending to be stupid or really didn't know.

After a moment of silence, Ren Pingsheng slowly said: "I was entrusted by a friend to investigate the reason why Lord Mu hanged himself. During the process, I accidentally learned that Lord Mu had seen a warrior before his death..."

Next, he made up the news into a more reasonable story and told it again.

Xu Ruxian's eyes burst into light after hearing it, and he asked eagerly: "Is the warrior still alive?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Alive."

"Take me to see him!"

Xu Ruxian's slightly vicissitudes of life showed excitement, and he stood up and said impatiently.

“…”

Ren Pingsheng fell silent when he saw this scene.

He thought it would be troublesome to persuade an extraordinary monk to be his tool.

For this reason, he even specially prepared a poem to flatter him.

But he didn't expect that before he could use it, this Lord Xu would be impatient to come to his door to be his tool.

"This person is in my house. I will take Lord Xu there immediately."

Ren Pingsheng said and was about to leave.

At this time.

Xu Ruxian smiled slightly: "No need to trouble."

"?"

Ren Pingsheng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, stopped, and looked confused.

The next second.

He heard Xu Ruxian say loudly: "Ren Pingsheng and I are in Ren's house."

As soon as the voice fell.

Ren Pingsheng felt dizzy like a tide, and after a while of being heavy-headed, he returned to normal.

Looking up, he saw several little maids staring at him with wide eyes and looking at him in disbelief:

"Shi, Prince... When did you return to the North?"
