Around noon, there was a high-end restaurant near the city gate in the southern part of the capital.
In the private room, Chai Yan, Jimo Qiao, Gu Ling and Doudou were sitting around the table, with a table full of dishes in front of them, which looked very extravagant.
"I'm talking about Jimo Qiao, you don't eat like this when you're a rich man..." Chai Yan looked at a table of dishes and said: "You ordered so much, did you finish it? It's a waste... .”
Jimo Qiao was not polite and said confidently: "Who said I wasted? I can take it away if I can't finish it!"
While talking, Jimo Qiao was already picking up vegetables to eat. She chose this place and ordered the dishes on this table, most of which were her favorites.
Gu Ling said curiously: "Chai Yan, you were able to win one hundred taels of gold from Di Chu. It's incredible!"
Jimo Qiao thought it was boring for the two of them to have dinner, so he invited Gu Ling and Doudou over during the meal. It was crowded and fun.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "I have proof. If Di Chu dares to default on his debt, I will definitely ruin his reputation!"
After saying that, Chai Yan asked everyone to eat more vegetables. Doudou was a foodie. After listening to Chai Yan's words, he nodded repeatedly. In an instant, his mouth was filled with food, and he felt extremely satisfied.
While the four of them were eating, the street outside the window started to become noisy. It sounded like there was a quarrel and some fighting.
The most lively one among the four was Jimo Qiao. She ran to the window and looked around with her chopsticks in hand.
Soon, Jimo Qiao's eyes were fixed on the noisiest place on the street. She raised her hand and pointed at it with her chopsticks, shouting: "Gu Ling, come and see, is that the fifth prince's car?"
When Gu Ling heard this, she got up and went to the window, but Doudou didn't move and continued to eat.
Chai Yan was curious, so he went to the window and looked down at the street. Sure enough, there was a royal guard of honor.
At the front of the ceremonial guard was a group of guards who were opening the way. They were shouting and driving away the vendors on both sides of the road. Anyone who tried to avoid or was slow to move away from the stall would be treated roughly by this group of people, and they would be beaten wherever they went. Flying dog jumps......
After a while, a royal luxury car drove under the window.
Gu Ling nodded and said: "Yes, it's the fifth prince's car. They are so grand, where are they going?"
Jimo Qiao showed that he was well-informed and immediately said: "You don't know yet, a few days ago, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were ordered by the emperor to leave the capital and return to their own fiefdoms within five days!"
"Why?" Gu Ling asked in confusion: "The two princes have been living in the capital for three or four years after they got their fiefdoms. Why did the emperor suddenly let them leave the capital?"
Jimo Qiao said: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the assassination of the prince..."
Gu Ling nodded immediately and didn't talk much.
At the same time, Chai Yan also suddenly figured out something...
If the crown prince Liu Lang dies, wouldn't the biggest beneficiary be one of the fourth and fifth princes?
In other words, the emperor may have suspected that the mastermind of the assassination of the prince was related to the two princes...
As for who the mastermind was, it might not be possible to find out in a short time, or the emperor actually knew it but deliberately did not find out, so he ordered the two princes to leave the capital and return to the fiefdom, so as not to cause them to stay in the capital again and cause trouble again. !
After understanding this point, Chai Yan also figured out another point immediately. No wonder the prince was not in a hurry to hunt down the assassin, and had no intention of entrusting him to investigate. It seemed that the emperor had mediated it.
As for the reason, maybe there are other ways to deal with it, or maybe it's about cherishing the feelings of flesh and blood...
When the fifth prince's luxury car drove past the window and went away, Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling turned around and returned to the table together.
Seeing that Chai Yan was still thinking, Jimo Qiao called out: "Hey, they're all gone, what are you looking at?"
Chai Yan came to his senses, walked to his seat, sat down, and asked: "Hey, I want to ask you something, where are the fiefdoms of the two princes?"
As soon as they talked about this, Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling started chatting. After all, their family backgrounds were here. They had heard about the royal family since they were young and knew a lot about it.
They first talked about the fourth prince. The fourth prince's name was Liu Ke. He was eighteen years old at the time, ten years younger than the prince Liu Lang. However, his literary, Taoist and military skills were extremely outstanding. It could be said that he was not inferior to Liu Lang.
There have been rumors in the capital that Liu Lang was able to be established as the prince mainly because he took advantage of being ten years older. If Liu Yu hadn't suffered a serious illness during those years, he might not have been in a hurry to establish the prince. If it had been postponed for a few more years,
The person sitting on the throne of prince now may be Liu Ke.
The fourth prince Liu Ke was named King of Wei, and his fiefdom was in Weizhou in the southwest, which was a border area, a relatively backward and poor area.
Gu Ling told Chai Yan that when the fourth prince was crowned king, he complained to the emperor several times, wondering why the emperor allowed him to go to such a poor place. However, because he could not change the reality, the fourth prince gradually stopped complaining.
However, he still lives in the palace, and he won't leave even if the emperor doesn't urge him!
Then, Chai Yan asked about the fifth prince.
Jimo Qiao said: "The fifth prince is three years younger than the fourth prince and has just turned fifteen. His name is Liu Jian!"
"Pfft!" Chai Yan almost spit out his rice when he heard it, and then burst out laughing.
The three girls were all very puzzled, wondering what was so funny about it?
Jimo Qiao asked: "What are you laughing at? How funny is it?"
"Liu Jian...bian...hahaha..." Chai Yan still couldn't help laughing: "Why did the emperor give his son such a name? What's the name?
Okay, I have to call you 'cheap', hahaha..."
Gu Ling immediately rolled her eyes: "Who do you think is the 'bastard'? It's the 'jian', which is based on history!"
"Oh, it's that Jian... What a Jian, what a Jian!" Chai Yan tried hard to hold back his laughter, but failed after a few breaths, and burst out laughing again: "Pfft! Ha!
Ha ha......"
"Haha, hahaha...yes, why did the emperor choose such a name, hahaha..."
Jimo Qiao also laughed. No one said she didn't think so before, but now that Chai Yan mentioned it, she felt weird.
Gu Ling shook her head speechlessly, pointed at the two of them with a heavy face and said, "Have you laughed enough? Making fun of the fifth prince's name is a great disrespect!"
"I'm sorry, I stopped laughing, I really stopped laughing!" Chai Yan quickly pinched his thigh to stop laughing.
Jimo Qiao also felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly stuck out his tongue and stopped laughing.
Seeing that the scene was a little too quiet, Chai Yan took the initiative and said: "Where did we just talk about... By the way, the fifth prince's fief! Where is his fief, and what kind of king is he named?"
Gu Ling glanced at Chai Yan and said expressionlessly: "The fifth prince has been named a virtuous king, and his fiefdom is located in Yaozhou in the southeast!"
