"Your Highness, the common people do not mean to threaten you! It's just..."

"Just what?" Li Yunxing shouted sharply, "You just want me to accept your love, right?"

"The common people don't dare, the common people... The common people are just worried about His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince is kind. If he listens to the treacherous slanders..." Chen Jinyan lowered his head and whispered, with a strong worry in his voice.

"Chen Jinyan! I am the prince of the current dynasty. No matter how you decide whether what you say is true or false, it is not up to you to make the decision."

"Since I have been in power for several months, countless people have wanted to kill me, but in the end, I have been safe and sound. Do you think that if I can't deal with this little trouble, why should I be the crown prince?

throne?"

Li Yunxing stood up and stared at him condescendingly.

"The emperor has been a high-risk throne since ancient times. Everyone thinks that the emperor enjoys supreme glory, but they never think that they will also have no sleep every day."

"In ancient times, Cao Cao killed soldiers in the middle of the night in order to protect himself. He deliberately spread the story of Prime Minister Cao killing people in his dreams. In fact, it was to ensure his own personal safety. The royal family is inherently lonely, and the truth is that it is cold at high places.

It’s not that you don’t understand Gong Xiang.”

"If you want my help, then what you have to do is not to test my bottom line and attitude, but just tell me everything you know. I will weigh everything to see if it is worth it.

"

"Chen Jinyan, I have never taken you as seriously as I do now. It's a pity that you don't cherish me."

He sighed: "It's rare that General Lian recommends you to me so sincerely. I originally planned to re-enable you and let you assist me, but unexpectedly... you did such a stupid thing."

Chen Jinyan's whole body froze suddenly, and his lips wriggled a few times.

This is what makes Li Yunxing domineering. No one or anything can be used as a means to manipulate him.

This is a feudal and conservative era. If Li Yunxing wants to succeed, he will be under pressure from all parties.

Although the whole story of what Chen Jinyan said was not revealed, Li Yunxing could also guess a little bit.

Just looking at Qi Ming's promotion path in recent years, it is not difficult to see that he must have done a lot of things that satisfied Liu Zhongqing to be so reused.

Therefore, the sale of iron ore may involve more about private alliances with the Huns.

Li Yunxing didn't want things to develop in the direction he least expected, but now it seemed that it was out of his control.

In the hall, Chen Jinyan was still kneeling on the ground.

It was because he was abrupt, or he underestimated Li Yunxing.

He didn't expect that he would notice him, and he didn't expect that he would put his inner thoughts directly on the table without any concealment.

His Royal Highness the Prince has a resolute character and a strong tolerance, but there is one thing that he cannot tolerate being plotted by others.

He raised his head and looked at Li Yunxing: "It is the common people who are wrong. The common people should not be selfish and try to make His Highness the Crown Prince look at the common people differently. It is the common people who are stupid. Please punish him."

After saying this, he kowtowed deeply and did not get up again.

Li Yunxing was silent for a moment and snorted softly: "Go away!"

Listening to his words of expulsion, Chen Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, immediately kowtowed to thank him, then turned around and left.

After he left, Li Yunxing slowly closed his eyes, looking tired.

"Your Highness, do you need someone from your subordinates to secretly monitor Mr. Chen?" the guard next to Li Yunxing asked.

Li Yunxing shook his head, "If he had real evidence, he would have tried every means to bring down Qi Ming. It is because he has no evidence that he came to this palace, hoping that I would give him blessings so that he could get more benefits.

Much support.”

"But if His Highness gives him blessing, it will definitely make those officials who have colluded with Qi Ming become wary. Is this a good thing?"

Jin Xi is a little confused. Chen Jinyan does have selfish motives, but this selfishness is a normal selfishness that normal people have. Why is he not allowed to do this?

"Jinxi, you are still too naive. Do you think I can tolerate a poisonous snake lurking around you? What's more, this poisonous snake has already grown fangs!"

He paused and said indifferently, "But the coal mine theft case does need to be strictly investigated. Go tell Yang Tinghe and ask him to carefully check the account books of various ore collection and sales for ten years to see if there are any errors."

Jinxi nodded and said he would go immediately.

"Then how should Qi Ming deal with it?"

Li Yunxing smiled and said, "There's no rush."

Rural people all know that pigs need to be fattened before being slaughtered. Now that Qi Ming has become the climate, let’s fish for the big fish for a long time and wait until the right opportunity hits!

After Chen Jinyan left the East Palace, Jinxi quickly reported the news he had just received to His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Oh? Ginkgo left the palace?"

Jin Xi nodded, "That's right, Your Highness."

This is strange, Ginkgo is Liu Ruxu's dowry maid, and she is also the aunt in charge of the entire Jiaofang Palace.

Unless he made a big mistake, it would be impossible to be expelled from the palace.

But in recent days, Liu Ruxu has kept a low profile, and there are no strange rumors in the palace.

Ginkgo's sudden departure makes people suspicious of Liu Ruxu behind her!

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. I have already communicated with Yushi Jiang. He sent two people to follow Ginkgo to see where she went. I believe we can get to the bottom of it."

Li Yunxing raised his eyes and looked at Jin Xi, "Oh? You've been a lot smarter in doing things recently?"

Jin Xi bowed sheepishly, "I didn't learn this from His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yunxing smiled and was noncommittal.

"Okay! I like smart people. I will go to my warehouse later to pick up the latest brocade. You are also the housekeeper of the East Palace now, so you should dress decently."

When Jin Xi heard this, his eyes lit up, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. I will definitely try my best to take care of the internal affairs of the East Palace and solve your problems for Your Highness!"

However, in the end, the news brought back by the Censor of Xiuyi was not satisfactory.

Ginkgo is dead.

After leaving the palace, she went to an inn in the city to rest alone.

The next day, the innkeeper reported it to the police, saying that someone had died in the inn.

Judging from the clothes and attire she wore, she looked like someone from the royal palace.

The Yamen looked through her package and found that she had hidden all the gold, silver and jade items under her bed.

The neck was directly broken, and he died.

There were no signs of a fight at the scene, so he probably died in his sleep after nightfall.

Not seeking wealth, just killing people, the purpose is too obvious.
