Chapter 2630 I thought it was time to listen to Cheng Taibao's advice
"General Cheng, what do you mean by this? I am also thinking about the health of His Highness the Prince. His Highness has been tired from traveling for days..."
"Zhang Shaozhan, Lao Cheng was worried about the safety of His Royal Highness, but you intervened and talked about him, trying to stop Lao Cheng from doing anything. Is it possible that you have some evil intentions?"
"???" Zhang Xuansu almost lost his breath and took a breath. His originally wine-red face was now as red as a monkey's butt.
He is worthy of being the biological father of that thief Cheng Sanlang. How come he sounds the same as Cheng Sanlang and is so annoying.
Li Chengqian, who was very skilled in handling disputes between the Cheng family and the officials of the East Palace, quickly bypassed the couple and stood between the two to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
"Okay, okay, Zhang Shaozhan and Cheng Taibao don't have to say a word. Let's talk about the business first."
Cheng Yaojin snorted, saluted Li Chengqian, and whispered.
"Your Highness, this matter is too important. Please ask Your Highness to let the irrelevant people leave."
"Is this necessary?" Li Chengqian glanced at several East Palace officials in the palace with some embarrassment.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's determined look, he could only raise his hand to signal.
Although Zhang Xuansu was very unhappy in his heart, at this moment, he could only leave Maplewood Palace angrily.
As for Eunuch Ning Zhong, he drove out all the people who were cleaning up the leftovers from Maple Forest Palace.
When there was no one in the palace, Cheng Yaojin asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, are you going to sleep in Jiangdu Palace tonight?"
"Of course, after the banquet here today, I will rest here first. After the Guiyan Palace is decorated tomorrow, the Crown Princess and the others will also enter Jiangdu Palace."
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin slowly shook his head. "Your Highness, this is inappropriate."
"...Why?" Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Yaojin in front of him with some surprise.
"This is an itinerary that has been decided before. Could it be that something happened in Jiangdu Palace?"
"Your Highness, there are too many people waiting in Jiangdu Palace, and their identities have not been clearly verified."
"Cheng Taibao, they all went through the governor of Yangzhou and the palace supervisor of Jiangdu..."
"His Royal Highness," Cheng Yaojin said with a suddenly serious tone.
"And Lao Cheng has been ordered by His Majesty to be responsible for the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince. Lao Cheng knows that it is really inappropriate to disturb His Highness the Crown Prince at this time."
"However, the Jiangdu Palace is too big, and the Fenglin Palace and Guiyan Palace are too far inside.
The terrain here is complex, and it is difficult to control the ten forces in the East Palace. If someone really wants to harm His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's really difficult to correspond to the inside and outside of Jiangdu Palace."
"Furthermore, we have just arrived in Yangzhou and the situation here is unknown. I think it is best for the safety of His Highness the Prince to ask His Highness to return to the ship and sleep."
Seeing that General Qian Cheng looked very serious, Yuchi Baoqing on the side did not show any expression, presumably the two of them had already communicated.
This made Li Chengqian feel a little embarrassed.
"Cheng Taibao, but now, most of the officials and attachés of the East Palace have arrived at Jiangdu Palace. If Ruogu wants to go back to Shiyun Wharf again, I'm afraid it will be..."
"Your Highness will go quietly. When dawn tomorrow, Lao Cheng will personally escort His Highness back to Jiangdu Palace. In this way, no one will object."
"this……"

When Yu Zhining returned to the outside of the palace, he saw Zhang Shaozhan with an angry look on his face, and only found out after asking.
This Shao Zhanshi was kicked out by General Cheng. Yu Zhining tried his best to control his expression and looked at this Shao Zhanshi who was not compatible with the Cheng family.
"What does Cheng Taibao want to discuss with His Highness?"
"How did this officer know that Old Man Cheng directly said that there were matters related to the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince and that I had to deal with him alone?"
"What?!" Yu Zhining's eyelids twitched wildly, and he quickly lifted up his front and walked up the stairs.
Facing Yu Zhining, the chief official of the East Palace, Ning Zhong naturally did not dare to be verbose and could only send messages into the room.
Li Chengqian nodded slightly towards General Cheng and said, "Yu Zhanshi is Gu's confidant and the leader of my East Palace."
Soon, Yu Zhining walked into the palace, and after seeing the ceremony, he started to ask questions.
Prince Li Chengqian happily informed Yu Zhining of General Cheng's concerns and suggestions.
Yu Zhining glanced at the scheming General Cheng, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said to Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, since Your Majesty trusts Cheng Taibao and entrusts His Highness's safety to Cheng Taibao's hands, I think it is better to listen to Cheng Taibao's advice."
"Actually, after I arrived at Jiangdu Palace today, I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to have to settle here for the first time here."
"What Yu Zhan said is in line with Lao Cheng's wishes. If His Highness agrees, Lao Cheng will naturally have a way to quietly take His Highness the Crown Prince out of Jiangdu Palace and return quietly tomorrow."
Seeing that Yu Zhanshi was also standing on the same front as General Cheng, Li Chengqian finally made up his mind and nodded.
"In that case, please leave it to Cheng Taibao."
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, Yuchi Baoqing, you go outside the palace first, drive the rest of the people away, and tell the prince that he is ready to go to bed.
Is there a close eunuch of similar stature beside His Highness?"
#####
Two quarters of an hour later, General Cheng led a group of Zuo Tun Guard generals and headed towards the gate of Jiangdu Palace.
Yuchi Baoqing began to arrange the guards at Fenglin Palace and Guiyan Palace in Jiangdu Palace.
Zhang Shaozhan went to Dongcheng to inspect the placement of subordinate officials and attendants.
As for Yu Zhan, he was responsible for seeing off General Cheng and a group of Zuo Tunwei generals.
Eunuch Ning Zhong, on the other hand, stood dumbfounded on the steps of Maple Forest Palace, in the brightest place under the eaves.
He looked like he was worse off than dead, but he still had the air of the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, ordering the little eunuchs around.
Yu Zhining personally sent General Cheng and his entourage to the entrance of the palace, and watched as General Cheng and his entourage got on their horses and rode away.
After looking at it blankly for a long time, Yu Zhining sighed and turned around, looking at the majestic Jiangdu Palace.
Just when Yu Zhining returned to Jiangdu Palace, not far away, he saw an official walking in the palace surrounded by more than a dozen followers.
"I have seen Yu Zhanshi..." The other party was sharp-eyed and rushed over immediately to salute Yu Zhining.
"It turned out to be Palace Supervisor Xiao, Palace Supervisor Xiao, what are you..." Yu Zhining returned the salute, and his eyes fell on the dozen or so people around Palace Supervisor Xiao.
"Returning to Zhan Shi, they are all Jiangdu Palace guards. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit to Jiangdu Palace is a blessing for Jiangdu Palace.
The subordinate is very worried and wants to check everything in the palace again, but there is nothing missing, so as not to disturb the prince Hejia."
