"Did that young man really say these words?"

In Prince Jing's palace, a tall, graceful middle-aged man was tasting the egg tart in his hand.

He had seen the princess eat this novelty many times, but he had never wanted to try it. If the princess hadn't made it herself this time, he probably wouldn't be interested.

He had just listened to what the princess said about Jiang Chen, and he became curious about this young man who was full of insight, because this person was a bit too special.

Simply speaking, the egg tarts made by Jiang Chen, in terms of taste, style and novelty, can be said to be one of the few novelties in the past few decades that can dazzle the eyes of the whole city.

Throughout history, those who have the ability to create unprecedented new things can be recorded in history.

This Jiang Chen is considered a top talent just in this aspect, but listening to his comments on the current situation in Daqian and his analysis of the relationship between the imperial court and Qishan, it can be seen that this person is very knowledgeable and talented. .

It was precisely because of all these that King Jing had the idea of ​​meeting this person.

"My lord, what do you think of this egg tart?"

The princess asked Prince Jing with great anticipation, still feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"Well, the egg tarts made by the princess herself are naturally the best in the world and unique. I like them very much."

"You, you, just like to use nice words to talk to me. What I'm asking about is whether the taste of this egg tart suits your taste."

Prince Jing smiled and replied: "The skin is crispy, the filling is soft and glutinous, and it has a rich sweet taste. This is the first time I have tasted such a delicious thing."

After receiving Prince Jing's serious answer, the princess sat back with satisfaction.

She looked at these egg tarts carefully as if they were her own children. At this time, she even couldn't wait to learn how to make two other delicacies from Jiang Chen.

"By the way, you have to remember what I told you and hurry up and do it. I have already promised Jiang Chen."

"Okay, since my concubine has agreed, how can I not do it?"

After walking out of the room, Prince Jing walked slowly on the quiet corridor. His steps were steady and strong, and his deep eyes stared into the distance, unable to tell what was going on in his mind at this moment.

Behind him is Xie An, the butler who has been loyal for many years, waiting for the master's next instructions at any time.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to get involved in the affairs of the Night Criminal Division for a boy you don't know?"

"If we do this, will the emperor..."

Xie An expressed his worries, but Prince Jing was uncharacteristically different this time and immediately said that he would definitely help because he could not let the princess break her promise in front of others.

At the same time, Prince Jing had another more important reason, "Xie An, do you remember how many days it has been since the princess was as happy as she is today?"

Xie An thought for a while and replied: "It seems that since the breakfast shop closed, the princess has never smiled again."

"But she smiled today, and she smiled very happily. Just because of this, I want to return this favor. Do you understand what I mean? In addition, I want you to check out Jiang Chen's The bottom line is, we must never let anyone with ulterior motives get close to the princess."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

There was a rare relaxed and joyful atmosphere in Prince Jing's palace, and all of this was because of the princess's good mood.

The next day, Jiang Chen appeared in the Shuixie Dungeon. Sitting opposite him were Shen Xueying, who was frowning, and Mao Wuying, who was standing behind her with an equally solemn expression.

Jiang Chen and Shen Xueying looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke first. This scene looked a bit strange, but in fact they were making shrewd calculations in their hearts.

In Shen Xueying's hand, there was a letter delivered by the Office of the Ministry of Justice this morning. The content in it made Shen Xueying both surprised and worried.

She expected that Jiang Chen would take all measures to intervene in Geng Ji's matter, but she never expected that Jiang Chen would actually have contact with Prince Jing's palace in private.

Prince Jing's autographed letter was delivered to the Minister of Punishment, who dared not to immediately comply with the request. Because of this letter, Jiang Chen now has the privilege of entering and exiting the Shuixie Dungeon at will.

"I didn't expect you to know Prince Jing?" Shen Xueying wanted to test Jiang Chen's tone. If such an outstanding person defected to Prince Jing's palace, it would be a huge loss to their Night Criminal Division and even the entire imperial power.

Jiang Chen replied: "Strictly speaking, I don't know Prince Jing. I just met the princess by chance, so I just asked him to do this for me. You know I won't give up."

"Why does the princess want to help you for no reason?"

Mao Wuying's expression at this time looked more like he was asking for help.

Jiang Chen said proudly: "Maybe he saw some talent in me."

Shen Xueying sighed and reminded Jiang Chen very seriously, "I don't think you know anything about that Prince Jing thing, right? In the royal capital, no one dares to have too much involvement with Prince Jing's palace. Don't blame me for not reminding you.

you!"

"You mean that thing that can't be mentioned? I'm just an ordinary citizen. The court won't care about a small role like me. Of course, I'm still very grateful for your kind reminder."

There are a lot of controversies surrounding Prince Jing, especially things like that that happened in the past, which have been kept secret by the entire court until now. People say that Prince Jing has been coveting the throne of Daqian for a long time, and sooner or later he will take action again.

The current emperor has taken measures to confine Prince Jing. Although he has never admitted this to the outside world, the dignified Prince Jing has not left Jinyang City for sixteen years. He usually lives in seclusion and only has a few official posts in the court.

A false title without any real power.

Shen Xueying reminded Jiang Chen not to get too close to Prince Jing, which was the consensus of the vast majority of people. They all believed that if they were involved with Prince Jing, they would be implicated sooner or later.

"Can I go in?" Jiang Chen was anxious to see Geng Ji.

Shen Xueying said: "Okay, but I can't say whether he is in the mood to see you now."

"Where did you take Lan Hui? Now only by negotiating with Geng Ji can we get all the information from him. He even participated in the operation against Qishan twenty years ago, which shows that in Xuanyan Mansion

The status is far higher than we imagined."

Jiang Chen slammed the table angrily and said to Shen Xueying dissatisfied: "To deal with people like Geng Ji, you must use both soft and hard tactics. You nakedly threatening someone's wife and children will only force him to go to a dead end."

"If you messed up this matter, I will have to settle the score with you!"
