Hearing this familiar voice, Zheng Ji immediately ran to the door and called out in surprise: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

Who else could the person who appeared outside the door be Jiang Baoshan?

In a place like Changding Princess Mansion, it is impossible for someone to eavesdrop and interrupt.

Unless...this person is Jiang Baoshan.

Li Xing'en stood next to Jiang Baoshan and said respectfully: "Your Highness, there is only Mrs. Jiang alone. I have already asked everyone else to retreat."

He brought the old man in just because he knew that His Highness was discussing matters with the second uncle of the Jiang family.

Before he had time to report, Mrs. Jiang interjected.

How could Mr. Jiang hear what His Highness and the others were saying despite being so far apart?

It seems that it is also related to the emperor?

Jiang Baoshan laughed "haha" twice and said, "Your grandmother was worried about you and asked me to come and see you."

Hearing that the second child had gone to Princess Changding's mansion twice in a row, the old wife was really worried and asked him to come and take a look.

He hadn't seen Xiao Jiu for a long time, and he missed her very much, so he came happily.

Unexpectedly, I heard Xiaojiu and Lao Er discussing the emperor from a distance, and couldn't help but intervene.

Zheng Ji said with a smile: "Grandma is worried, I should go visit you."

After meeting Jiang Baoshan, her mood suddenly improved.

The questions that were lingering in my mind are no longer important.

But Jiang Yan couldn't help but speak: "Father, why did you say that?"

The emperor was blindfolded? Does father also think that the emperor is behind these forces?

This is really not a good thing.

Jiang Baoshan twirled his beard. This ordinary action also had a hint of Jin Ge's spirit in him.

"There is no special reason. Since it is just speculation, then anyone can do it. Your Majesty... doesn't it just fit the characteristics of these forces?"

After saying that, he gave Zheng Ji a meaningful look.

He was sure that Xiao Jiu would never say such words on a whim. Since Xiao Jiu decided to leave the palace and open a mansion, she should know what happened, but she can't convince herself yet.

In this case, think of the worst outcome.

Jiang Baoshan's words silenced both Zheng Ji and Jiang Shan.

This is the truth, but it is not so easy to accept it calmly.

"Tell me, Xiaojiu, what have you been doing recently?"

Jiang Baoshan thought for a while and said: "Although the emperor is the emperor, his eyesight is limited. What he can rely on are the officials of the court and the secret guards around him. What they can see is what these people present to him. Besides, things are presented to him.

The original intention and the outcome may be very different.”

For example, no one expected that the Jiangnan Road incident would end up being such a big fuss and that so many officials would be involved.

Even the emperor cannot control the progress of the situation. The so-called arrow must be fired when it is on the string. Even the emperor cannot change the final result.

Zheng Ji nodded and said, "Grandpa, you are right."

In the previous life, the Jiangnan River Channel and the corruption case were indeed not as widespread as in this life. In the end, the only ones that could be affected were the Lin family and the Jiang family.

It can be said that this is a precise strike. To achieve this, one can imagine how terrifying the forces behind it are.

"Cheng Yong is, after all, a veteran of the Three Dynasties. The Cheng family must be behind these foolish things. Cheng Keyi's break with the Cheng family will definitely benefit this person. Doesn't it mean that Cheng Keyi is extremely intelligent? He is in the Cheng family

After so many years, you can always learn something, right?"

In Jiang Baoshan's opinion, it would be best to wait until Cheng Keyi returns to analyze the Cheng family's affairs.

"Xiao Jiu, the martial arts selection competition is about to begin. The forces behind this are targeting you and must have plans to thwart your plan." Jiang Baoshan said.

Zheng Ji disagreed with this.

She did not enter the Wuge in the previous life, but something happened to the Cheng family. It was in the middle of July that she and she were in the Wuge.

The selection test has nothing to do with it.

Perhaps from the perspective of the forces behind it, the three people she selected, whether she passed the martial arts selection or failed to pass the martial arts selection, were meaningless.

However, she would of course accept her grandfather's heart.

"Grandpa, I know that I did not delay the matters concerning the martial arts pavilion."

When the second uncle came to the mansion twice, she had just returned from Wuge. This must have been the reason why the second uncle came here.

Now, my grandfather is here too.

The Jiang family has always lived in seclusion, but now everyone from the second uncle to the grandfather comes to visit.

The reason is just to worry about her.

This is the person who has cared for her from beginning to end, and this is her closest relative.

Although she had known this for a long time in her previous life, her heart was still in turmoil again.

At the same time, in Taifu's Mansion, Pei Yanshan also reported the information discovered by Henglou to Du Fengju.

"Sir, the people who echoed Cheng Yong's memorial are either in-laws of the Cheng family or people promoted by Cheng Yong. Henglou has not found anything yet."

"Let Heng Lou continue to investigate, don't be in a hurry."

Henglou is not omnipotent, especially when it comes to His Highness Chang Ding. The fewer things Henglou can find, it proves that His Highness is more meticulous in his actions.

This is not a bad thing.

But, how could your Highness get into trouble with Cheng Yong?

Is it for Cheng Keyi?

Currently, in addition to Dou Shiyuan, Cheng Keyi Ying is also one of the civil service forces selected by His Highness.

He knew that His Highness had his own arrangements, so he had no intention of intervening - and His Highness did not need to.

In his opinion, Cheng Yong was far from his Highness's opponent.

Elder of the Three Dynasties is just an honorary title. It can only represent Cheng Yong's past. How can the setting sun compare with the rising sun?

Even though he couldn't see anything yet, he believed that His Highness would definitely get what he wanted.

Regarding this matter, what he wanted to know most was whether Cheng Keyi's wife, Zhang, was the fifth person selected by His Highness?

Rather than helping in court matters, he is now more concerned about who His Highness will choose as the fifth person in the team.

After the jailer Chu Feiyuan, His Highness did not take any action again.

It seems that he has completely forgotten this matter.

It is impossible for His Highness to forget, it only means that His Highness already has a candidate in mind.

If His Highness chooses Zhang, then what he is doing now will have to be adjusted.

He finally made a decision and gave this order: "Wei Yan, I plan to adjust the training plan again and turn the fifth person into a woman who knows martial arts."

"Yes, young master." Wei Yan responded without any objection.

Only His Highness can master Master Lu's martial arts skills. The others are all subordinates. It is indeed very difficult to adjust the fifth person, but with the master's ability, he can definitely do it.
