Chapter 64

Emperor Jianning was a vigorous and resolute person. Once he decided to investigate, the whole city of Bianjing immediately went into action.

The Ministry of Punishment took the lead, and dispatched personnel from the Ministry of War to help, and began a large-scale search of gunpowder black workshops throughout the city.

The matter of the saltpeter mine was handed over to the King of Jin to investigate, and Feng Ganzuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was temporarily dismissed, waiting for the matter to be clarified before making a conclusion.

The people who went to Yuzhou to investigate were also quickly settled down.

Su Yi, as the censor of the Procuratorate, was appointed as the imperial envoy to be the chief officer, and then Feng Weihuai, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Xu Yuanhong, the eldest son of Duke Rui Guo, was also on the team, as well as Shen He and the seventh prince.

The first two were investigating cases. Xu Yuanhong was already an official, helping with some chores. Of course, he also had the role of keeping an eye on the progress of the case for the crown prince. Shen He was sent because Emperor Jianning valued his military talents.

After all, he suspected that King Yu had the intention of treason, so he had to send a general to follow him just in case.

As for the Seventh Prince, to be honest, he is a mascot.

After all, King Yu is a relative of the emperor, and it is not always good to just send ministers to investigate him directly, so the seventh prince was put in.

It was also because the prince couldn't get away, and the king of Jin had to investigate the case in Bianjing. The fourth prince, Emperor Jianning, was looked down upon by 1 people, so only the seventh prince was left.

In fact, if Shen Qianwei hadn't been injured, Emperor Jianning would have let Shen Qianwei go on purpose, but it was a pity that he missed this opportunity.

After deciding who to go to, he packed up his things quickly and set off on the road in two days.

Before leaving, the Seventh Prince went to General Mingwei's mansion to visit Shen Qianwei.

The two sat and talked in Shen Qianwei's room.

"How's your injury?" The Seventh Prince looked at his arm with regret, "If you weren't injured, it must be you who went back this time, not General Shen, then I would have a companion. "

In this regard, Shen Qianwei also felt it was a pity, and sighed helplessly.

"Who can blame you for bad luck, but you, you can follow my father closely this time when you go out, so that he can protect you if something happens."

"Don't worry, I won't come back full of injuries like you." The Seventh Prince smiled.

After taking a sip of tea, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and his hand holding the teacup tightened a bit.

"It's rare for my father to give me a job. I have to give me a good chance when I go back to Yuzhou, and let my father see my usefulness. Otherwise, if this continues, I will be reduced to the same person as the fourth child."

Stupid and lustful, with ambition written all over his face, if Emperor Jianning didn't have many heirs, and the fourth prince was really stupid, he couldn't play well under Emperor Jianning's nose, otherwise he would have disappeared.

For now, there is no difference between being alive and dead.

It would be a slap in the face for Emperor Jianning to bypass him and let the younger Seventh Prince handle the case directly.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, since the lotus banquet fell into the water in the palace last time, the fourth prince hasn't shown his face for such a long time, and he said he was sick.

Think about it, there is still a little bit of shame left.

Shen Qianwei sneered, raised her hand and patted the Seventh Prince's shoulder.

"Don't worry, the fourth prince is rare. I am optimistic about you, and I will wait for you to become a prince to protect me in the future."

When the word "Prince" was mentioned, the Seventh Prince's eyes flickered, but then he still smiled and clinked glasses with Shen Qianwei instead of wine with tea.

At this time, the Yan family sent someone over to spread the word that the lunch was almost ready, so that the Seventh Prince and Shen Qianwei could go to the main hall for dinner later.

The two nodded in response, talked for a while, and then went to the main hall together.

When he came, Mrs. Yan was instructing the maids to set meals, and General Shen stood beside him with his hands behind his back, watching his wife order.

While touching his nose, he said, "Why don't you just have a meal, and it's not troublesome to swing around."

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is here today. Naturally follow the rules. If you don't know how to speak, talk less. There is no shame. My son has learned from you." Yan gave him a glare.

General Shen turned his face away resentfully, and stopped opening his mouth.

Shen Qianwei and the Seventh Prince, who came in from the outside, laughed secretly at this scene.

"My mother is amazing." Shen Qianwei supported the Seventh Prince with his arm.

The latter nodded with a smile, "It's rare to see General Shen being under control, but he's very majestic in the barracks."

"Hey, when we get home, my father and I have to obey my mother." Shen Qianwei smacked his lips.

As he spoke, he stepped into the house.

The Seventh Prince was slow for a while, seeing the three members of the Shen family happily together, he felt sour in his heart.

It would be great if his biological mother was still alive, even if he could not get the care of his father, at least his mother would love him.

But after thinking about it, the biological mother came from a lowly family background. If she was still alive, she would probably be bullied in the harem and live a difficult life. It would be better if she died.

Just leave this suffering alone to him.

"Your Highness, come and have dinner. Qianwei said you like squirrel mandarin fish, so I specially asked the kitchen to make it today." Yan greeted with a smile.

The voice interrupted the Seventh Prince's thoughts, and also made him smile on his gloomy face.

Nodding, she put aside her emotions and sat down next to Shen Qianwei.

When picking up the bowls and chopsticks, the Seventh Prince also suddenly thought that the reason why he and Shen Qianwei got so close was probably because he liked the warm and homely feeling of the Shen family.

After the meal was over, after the Seventh Prince left, the three members of the Shen family sat and drank Xiaoshi tea, and Yan Shi started to think about it with a sad face.

"Yuzhou says it's far away, and it's not close. The master is still here to investigate the case. I don't know when I will come back, and I don't know whether it is dangerous or not. Qian Liang was injured again. I am really worried. You guys The two of you are not reassuring."

"What can happen, Madam, don't worry too much." Shen He comforted, and glanced at his son again, "This kid will stay at home while recuperating, and let Lao He watch him, and he is not allowed to go anywhere."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qianwei was not happy, so she refuted in a hurry.

"It's not like I broke my leg, so I won't let me go anywhere."

"You didn't break your leg, you broke your arm." Shen He glared at him, then threatened, "I'm not at home, if you make your mother angry, I'll break your leg when I come back!"

Shen Qianwei curled her lips, she didn't dare to confront her father, and sat back obediently.

Yan watched the two of them talk for a while, then sighed and put down the teacup.

"It's not peaceful recently, and I'm always not happy. If the weather is good tomorrow, I'll go to Baiyu Temple to burn incense and pray for good luck."

"Father is leaving for Yuzhou tomorrow, mother won't see him off?" Shen Qianwei said.

Yan Shi nodded, "Naturally, we will go and see you off. Don't we all deliver them at the city gate? Just after seeing off your father, let's go to Baiyu Temple to burn incense."

"Us?" Shen Qianwei grasped the point, and then said with a smile, "Mother, my father said that I am not allowed to go anywhere."

As soon as he said this with a playful smile, the eyes of Shen He and Yan's couple swept over.

Shen Qianwei tightened her grip, and quickly sat upright and nodded, "Mother is going to burn incense and worship Buddha, so naturally I will accompany my mother."
