Chapter 17

The matter of Zhang Yun's murder of Prince Wang created a disturbance all over the city.

Naturally, Minister of the Ministry of Officials would not give up easily, the revenge of killing his son was irreconcilable, he found the second prince Ming Long, and asked him to be the master for him.

Ming Long, who was the single-handedly promoted opponent to the top position, would not sit idly by, and the Ministry of Justice was the Crown Prince's Ministry of Justice, so he just took this opportunity to suppress the Crown Prince.

"Zhang Yun, heh, I didn't expect this person to be so stupid. He killed the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for jealousy. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment definitely did not sit back and watch his son have an accident. As long as he takes action, we will have a chance."

Minglong smiled.

He said to Xiao Que beside him: "You had a friendship with Zhang Yun, this time he had such a big accident, do you want to help him?"

"Your Highness was joking. I approached him only to use him as an excuse to come to the capital and to inquire about the information on the Crown Prince. In this way, he gave us a chance to attack the Crown Prince. I am too happy to help him. "

Xiao Que said lightly.

Hearing this, Ming Long smiled with satisfaction.

soon.

Zhang Yun was imprisoned and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

And he killed Prince Wang in the Qunfang Pavilion in public, many people have seen it, and there is almost no possibility of overturning the case.

Everyone thought he was bound to die.

Unexpectedly, in order to save his son, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice actually used his power for personal gain, and wanted to exchange a civet cat for the prince and his son out of prison, but was caught by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials on the spot.

Since then, even Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has been unable to protect himself and has been sent to prison.

And the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was vacant.

Both Minglong and the crown prince strongly recommended their own person to take the position.

It's a pity that Ming Zhengyuan didn't adopt their suggestion, and instead let a person who is not a princeling or a second princeling be in charge.

For this, the prince and Minglong were very disappointed.

It's just that Minglong is in a better mood than the prince.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, the prince has lost the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment one after another, and its power has been greatly reduced, but the three departments in his hand are still there.

On the bright side, he has a great advantage.

"But we can't take it lightly. Behind the crown prince, there is a prime minister and a Wenjiabao..." Minglong thought to himself.

Then he called Xiao Que, "You go and get someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the residence of Lu Yuan, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment."

Although this Lu Yuan is not his person, but now, the other party has become the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, if he can win him over, that would be great.

In Qunfang Pavilion.

Ming Yun was drinking with Wen Changfeng and another young man.

"Brother Lu, congratulations on becoming Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Wen Changfeng smiled slightly.

This young man is none other than Lu Yuan, the new minister of punishment.

No one knew that he was actually a member of the Fourth Prince Mingyun.

"I can be promoted this time, it all depends on Your Highness's strategizing, and I will be appointed as Your Highness from now on. I will be so heartbroken that I will die!"

Lu Yuan raised his wine glass and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Lu Shangshu is serious."

Ming Yun also raised his glass and offered a toast.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Yuan went back first. After all, he was the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. He was busy with affairs and had a lot to socialize with.

Only Mingyun and Wen Changfeng are left in Accord.

"Brother Wen, this time Lu Yuan is in charge, and you have contributed a lot. I would like to toast you." Ming Yun raised his glass and smiled.

Whether it was Lu Yuan's ascension this time, or the last time the Hubu Shangshu was imprisoned, Wen Changfeng assisted in all of them.

Mingyun was very fortunate that he was able to recruit such a helper.

"Since you have decided to assist Your Highness, these are matters of your own duty. Your Highness is welcome." Wen Changfeng laughed.

Then, he looked at the peony dancing on the dance floor below, and smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, the girl Peony also contributed a lot to pulling Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment this time. If it wasn't for Zhang Yunse's obsession, it wouldn't be the case."

"Heh, the oiran of the Qunfang Pavilion has a lot of charm."

"yes……"

Wen Changfeng looked at Mudan, possessiveness gradually appeared in his eyes, "I heard that this girl Mudan has always been a performer in Qunfang Pavilion, and she is very precious."

"Well, all the oirans in Qunfang Pavilion are like this."

Ming Yun sensed Wen Changfeng's desire for Peony, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes, and he smiled lightly: "If Brother Wen likes it, I can ask Xu Fang to send it to your house. It is her blessing to serve Brother Wen." separated."

"Since it is His Highness's kind intention, I will be disrespectful."

Wen Changfeng's eyes lit up.

…………

"What? Give the peony to Wen Changfeng? It won't work!"

After hearing Mingyun's decision, Sister Fang's expression changed.

But Mingyun has made up his mind, "Wen Changfeng has helped me many times, and he has made great contributions. If I don't express anything, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied."

"Your Highness wants to express that you can use other things."

"Ordinary things, how can he be satisfied? In short, I have made up my mind. Peony is a man of the world. Sooner or later, there will be such a day. Xu Fang, you have protected them for long enough, now it is time to let go."

Ming Yun glanced at Sister Fang with a warning in her eyes.

The last time he poisoned Ming Buyan, this time he gave the peony to Wen Changfeng, Sister Fang questioned him again and again, which made him very dissatisfied.

Sister Fang's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless.

What she was afraid of was not Mingyun.

It was the person behind Mingyun, her master, the leader of the Holy Fire Cult.

Helpless, she had to find Peony.

Hearing that she was going to be given to Wen Changfeng, Mudan's face turned pale, and she wanted to refuse.

But after seeing Sister Fang with a sad face, he also knew that even Sister Fang could not decide on this matter, and was stunned for a while, feeling sad in his heart.

"go!"

At this moment, Sister Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Wen Changfeng is sinister and vicious, not a good man, Mudan, pack your things and leave Qunfang Pavilion."

She still couldn't bear to push Peony into the fire pit.

After hearing this, Mudan did not leave, but said helplessly, "If I leave, what are you going to do, Sister Fang? Although I don't know who you are working for, Sister Fang, it should be someone you can't compete with." Well, if I leave, you will definitely be punished, I have been lonely since I was a child, it was Sister Fang who brought me back and taught me skills, that gave me such a glorious few years."

"Now how can I trap you in the quagmire for my own selfishness?"

"I am a man of the world, I am no nobler than anyone else, and sooner or later I have to commit myself to others. If I can help you by this, it will be considered my repayment for the kindness of these years."

"Just please allow me to say goodbye to His Highness before I leave."

Peony saluted, got up and left.

Sister Fang looked at her back and murmured, "I'm sorry..."

When she came to Yage, looking at Ming Buyan who was resting on Rose's lap, Mudan tidied up her appearance and walked in with a forced smile.

It's just that no matter how much she pretended, she still felt something was wrong.

"Sister Peony, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Your Highness. Peony recently learned a new dance and wants to show His Highness." Peony smiled.

"Oh, is it? Then I'll have to take a good look."

Peony came to the dance floor and began to dance.

Stunned every step of the way, the sleeves of his clothes flutter, his long sleeves are like clouds, and his swaying figure looks like fallen leaves, fluttering in the wind, as if he might be blown away by the wind at any time.

The dancing posture is beautiful, but there is a hint of desolation and melancholy. Everyone watching this dance is unconsciously aroused, a little inexplicably sad.

"What kind of dance is this?"

Obviously a little curious.

Rose next to her stared blankly at Mudan, "This is...a farewell dance."
