Chapter 184 The "Only" Prince

Xiao Jingheng didn't say hello to Xiao Mingrui, and directly led Shangguanjing to turn around. The two walked out together, holding hands, shoulder to shoulder.

The two were still wearing ordinary cotton clothes bought in Yurong Town, dressed like a pair of ordinary peasant couples, but in the afternoon sun, the back view of the two cuddling each other was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Mo Chenfeng helped the Jinwu Guard officer close the door of Su's room, turned around and looked at Xiao Jingheng's back, narrowing his eyes slightly.

This... is quite capable!After so many years of keeping under the eyes of the emperor, queen mother, and Huaiyang Wang and his wife, they did not reveal any clues. This is not something ordinary people can do.

And... Mo Chenfeng recalled the scene when Su Shi rushed towards Xiao Jingheng and his wife.Xiao Jingheng hugged Shangguan Jing's waist, and instantly retreated more than two feet back, which is not something that anyone can do casually!
This new prince is doing well!
"You guys are optimistic about the Su family," Xiao Mingrui said hurriedly, "Don't let anything happen to her again. Everything will be discussed after the emperor returns to Beijing."

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly took Mo Chenfeng and followed the young couple out.

When passing by the garden, Shangguanjing looked up at the path leading to the house they used to live in, and sighed softly: "It's a short turn and we'll be home, but it's a pity that we can never go back."

"It's not our home anymore." Xiao Jingheng replied, "It's just a temporary residence. I promised you a long time ago that I will take you out of here in the future and live a peaceful and stable life."

"It's difficult." Shangguan Jing shook his head: "You are the only son of the emperor now. Life in the palace must be a hundred times more difficult than here."

"I can get through it." Xiao Jingheng squeezed Shangguanjing's hand: "It will get better soon, believe me. It's just a waste of your hard work and frugality. You will not be able to use the money you have saved for so long."

"Who said that!" Shangguan Jing took a deep breath and tried to cheer up: "It's too useful! No way! I have to find a way to get our family property back. Don't we need to manage up and down in the palace?" Don't forget, you poor prince, you don't have any cronies in the palace, so how can you go to the palace alone without any money? Besides, as a prince, you will have to enter the court and participate in politics in the future, right? ? You have to plan early about the affairs of the staff and the officials of the prince's mansion, and..."

Shangguan Jing chanted all the way, carefully planning every step of the future for Xiao Jingheng, while Xiao Jingheng, who was walking beside her, listened with a smile, with a gentle and peaceful expression on his face, without a trace of haze.

It didn't take long for them to enter the Huaiyang Palace, but the son-in-law who was waiting at the door was already very angry. When he saw Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng coming out side by side, he immediately went up to greet him, but he didn't dare to ask anything, just turned to The two forced a smile, and said: "Okay, let's all get in the car, let's go back and clean up, Heng'er has to rush into the palace!"

"Uncle," Xiao Jingheng asked at this moment: "The emperor's order is that my aunt should only accompany me into the palace?"

"Commander Mo told us so. But your aunt and I both guessed that the emperor didn't explicitly say that only you are allowed to enter the palace alone." The son-in-law replied.

"Sister Jing is my wife." Xiao Jingheng replied, "We are husband and wife. If I enter the palace, why should I keep her outside?"

"Heng'er," the son-in-law hesitated before saying, "What you said is not unreasonable. But I discussed it with your aunt in private, and I think it's better for Jing'er to stay outside in the current situation. The news has already entered the palace yesterday, the Empress Dowager fell ill due to grief, Empress Chen and other concubines... Anyway, the palace is in great chaos right now."

Both Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng understood what the son-in-law meant.The princes all died at the hands of King Huaiyang, but Xiao Jingheng, the son of Prince Huaiyang who grew up in the palace of Huaiyang Prince, suddenly became a prince inexplicably.It might be difficult for them not to vent their anger on Xiao Jingheng now.

"You yourself, can you?" Shangguan Jing looked into Xiao Jingheng's eyes and asked, "You must promise me, be careful in everything, and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

"Sister Jing!" Xiao Jingheng frowned: "I can't leave you outside alone, if..."

"My aunt has limited energy after all." Shangguan Jing shook her head: "The queen mother is ill again. My aunt has to take care of the queen mother's illness, and also has to deal with the palaces to protect our safety. Everything is turbulent, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions. It's easier for her to be alone with you."

"If that's the case, we'll stay at the aunt's house together." Xiao Jingheng said immediately: "We'll talk about it after the emperor comes back."

"No." Shangguanjing shook his head again: "Let's not say that doing so will embarrass my aunt and Mr. Mo. Just talk about the current situation in Beijing...I think it's no safer for you to stay outside than to stay in the palace."

"Exactly!" Xiao Mingrui, who was catching up behind them, interrupted: "I have hesitated for a long time on this matter, but in the end I still feel that it is safer for Heng'er to enter the palace. After all, the palace is guarded by the imperial army and internal guards. The defense is only the shady methods of the concubines. But it is different outside. Not to mention other people, there are many guards and dead soldiers in the residence of Prime Minister Chen and Taiwei Lin."

"Besides," the son-in-law added in a low voice: "According to the Dazhou practice, if the emperor has no children, the best way is to choose an heir from the clan to train. The princes have an accident this time, and there may not be many clans in Beijing." In private, they were overjoyed. Especially those sons of the first emperor who were appointed princes, maybe they were waiting for the pie to fall on their heads! If they knew Heng'er's identity, if someone got confused, if they wanted to Take the risk, before the emperor comes back, strike first..."

"You enter the palace, I will stay outside." Shangguan Jing said decisively to Xiao Jingheng.

"But..." Xiao Jingheng just wanted to refute, but Shangguan Jing rushed to interrupt him: "No but. Do as I say. You don't have to worry, I will not be in danger, whether it is Lin Taiwei, the others, or the clan , the only one staring at you."

"Besides, I still have things to do outside, and the first one is Second Sister. Today she... She mentioned the Su family before, and she didn't speak clearly, so I was a little worried. No matter what, I have to go and see Second Sister. The second thing is, Mr. Feng and Mr. Qin have to settle down. These two gentlemen will always follow us in the future, and we must find a safe place for them first. They must not be allowed to leave, nor can they be allowed to go back to Marquis Wuding's mansion. .”

"You can't go back either." Xiao Jingheng said immediately: "You can't go back to Marquis Wuding's mansion, you have to promise me."

"Don't worry." Shangguan Jing nodded immediately, and said with something in her words: "I'm already married, and I'm married to my husband. Why should my parents dictate to me?"

 ---Here is the only dividing line--
  Can you rest assured that you are the only one?On the contrary, if this one is killed, the others will have a chance!There are a lot of good children in the clan, all of whom want to be godsons to the emperor and queen!
