Kong Wuye looked around cautiously. No one should have noticed the movement here, so he had to leave quickly just to be on the safe side.
Prince Cheng's Mansion was sealed, and Prince Cheng could only move to the courtyard next to the palace. The court took away most of the guards of the palace under the pretext of investigating the case. Now, Prince Cheng's Mansion has long been in name only, but the court's manpower is still staring at King Cheng. He It was difficult to take King Cheng away without anyone noticing. Fortunately, King Cheng himself was willing to disguise himself and leave the yard.
A sneer appeared on Master Kong Wu's face.
Now it seems that everything is under control, Shen Congrong is about to enter Beijing, and as long as they proceed step by step, these people will be their help.
The Kong family has been trapped in the north for so many years, and they can only live cautiously, fearing that the Zhang family will attack them one day, and these days are finally coming to an end.
Kong Wuye was in a good mood, but he could still feel the urgency of the situation, otherwise no one would have conveyed the news to him to become the king. Thinking of this, Kong Wuye still frowned slightly.
The emperor wants to deal with the Anyi Marquis Mansion and the Song Family, and Prince Cheng's Mansion has been sealed off. No matter how much the fire is burned, it will not burn them. Why are they so nervous?
It stands to reason that even if you do nothing, you can achieve the ultimate goal.
Without thinking for too long, Kong Wuye left quickly.
…
Inside Prince Jian's Mansion.
Princess Jian frowned, her face full of worry. She had already heard about the incident at the Anyi Hou Mansion. Miss Xu was summoned to the palace, but the Queen Mother was clearly still in the Cining Palace. This... the imperial court Is it suitable for the purpose?
Princess Jian couldn't understand.
"Princess, the princess of Shunyang County and the eldest princess of Jiashan are here."
Princess Jian stood up immediately: "Invite them in quickly."
The princess of Shunyang County and the eldest princess of Jiashan came together, obviously also for Miss Xu.
The three people sat down in the flower hall.
The eldest princess of Jiashan said first: "The princess must have also heard the news."
Princess Jian nodded.
The eldest princess of Jiashan said: "I asked someone to go to the Anyihou Mansion to inquire about the situation, and it turned out that there were soldiers and horses from the imperial court near the Anyihou Mansion."
"More than that," Princess Shunyang said, "I heard from the prince that there are also people from the Yamen around the Song family."
"What is this going on?" Princess Jian realized that the matter was more serious than she thought, "Isn't Miss Xu investigating the case? Why would such a good person become like this?"
"The palace has not been used for many years," the eldest princess of Jiashan said with a worried expression, "I remember that since King Wei's rebellion, the emperor and the queen mother rarely went to the palace to recuperate."
Because the palace has long been no longer a place of rest, the late emperor borrowed the palace when he dealt with the Wei royal party, and many female family members who rebelled against the party died there.
They didn't know it in the past. After the Zhang family's poisonous pill case came out, they heard that when the King of Wei rebelled, Mrs. Anyi and Xu Qinghuan were both imprisoned in the palace. Now Miss Xu has been sent to the palace again. …
Several people exchanged glances quickly, not daring to think any further.
The eldest princess of Jiashan continued: "It has been so long since the case of King Wei, and the court keeps bringing up old matters again. It is not an option to continue like this. If Miss Xu is implicated again because of the investigation... we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
Everyone can understand what the eldest princess of Jiashan means. Whether it is Prince Jian, the eldest princess of Jiashan, or the prince of Shunyang County, they have all received favors from Miss Xu. If Miss Xu had not investigated the case, they would be in a difficult situation now.
"What should we do?" Princess Jian didn't pay attention for a moment.
"Enter the palace and ask the queen for help," said the princess of Shunyang County. "At least we must find out what is going on now and what mistake Miss Xu has made."
Princess Jian nodded.
The eldest princess of Jiashan said: "Without further delay, we will invite the Queen together. If the Queen is willing to meet us, there will be room for maneuver in the matter."
Now it is the best way to go to the palace to inquire about the information. The female family members come here to inquire about the information in private. Even if the emperor notices it, they will not make too much noise.
Princess Jian breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope it's okay."
Having said that, they all know that things will not be settled that easily.
After seeing off the eldest princess of Jiashan and the princess of Shunyang County, Princess Jian asked her mother in charge: "Where is the prince?" Usually at this time, the prince should be playing with the birds in the garden.
"The prince went to the study early in the morning and never came out."
Princess Jian frowned slightly: "I'll go take a look."
The prince has never stayed in the study for such a long time. After the death of old Prince Jian, the prince's spirit seemed to have been polished away. Not only did he not interfere in political affairs, he rarely even went into the study. She had also persuaded him, but the prince
But she refused to listen. Later, she felt that this was not bad. At least she didn't have to worry about being an idle clan. But it was different now. She knew that the prince had taken in Wei E and the others. On the surface, the prince didn't care about anything, but in fact it was not the case.
Princess Jian walked to the study room thinking about it. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Prince Jian sighing from inside: "Sometimes being too smart can bring trouble to oneself. How could they not understand that youthful spirit is the key to success?"
Sheng."
Princess Jian's heart moved. Who is the prince talking about? Miss Xu and Lord Song?
"Who is it?" King Jian noticed the movement outside and asked immediately.
"Concubine." Princess Jian stepped in and walked in.
The lamp on King Jian's desk has not been extinguished yet. It seems that the prince has been sitting here before dawn.
"Why are you here?" King Jian's face seemed calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Princess Jian blew out the lamp and carefully asked tentatively: "Is the prince also anxious about the affairs of the Anyi Marquis Mansion and the Song family?"
King Jian sighed: "This is not something we can control."
"Your Majesty," Princess Jian gently grasped the handkerchief in her hand, "Are you prepared to ignore everything this time? If you really can't care less, that's all. I can only pretend to be deaf and mute to accompany you.
, but I’m afraid you will have a hard time with yourself.”
King Jian's eyes changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Princess Jian continued: "What does the emperor want to do? Why should Miss Xu be locked up in the palace when she has no fault? I really don't understand. I am just investigating a case. How could this happen?"
"She not only investigated the case," King Jian took a sip of tea, "she also revealed some secrets and offended many people. From Wang Yun to Cheng Wang, everyone is extraordinary, and now she is investigating...
"
King Jian did not continue until he said this.
Princess Jian was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to pull Prince Jian's sleeve: "My lord, now that things have happened, you still want to hide your identity from me?"
King Jian picked up the tea cup again, with a complicated expression on his face: "Miss Xu is investigating the case of the Song family's room. The truth of that case involves King Wei... King Wei may have been wrongly accused. King Wei died in the case.
There are many people, and the court would not want to see such a result."
