After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 112 112

"I heard that His Highness was injured in Xiangguo Temple the day before yesterday?"

"Can you see what that thief looks like?"

The light was dim, and Lin Yue looked weaker against his pale face.

Sheng Tingye stroked the edge of the teacup with his slender fingers, but did not pick it up.

Compared to Lin Yue, who was cautiously probing, Sheng Tingye said straight to the point: "It's not the second child."

Lin Yue was a little surprised: "So, those signs were intentional? Who?"

The saint's heirs are not many, and there are only a few princes who are qualified to take that position.

The eldest son of the emperor, Sheng Tingqi, was born of Concubine Yao Shu. Although Yao's family stood behind him, he was also the eldest son of the emperor, but because of a disability in his leg, he lost the qualification for the heir apparent very early.

The second prince, Sheng Tingjing, has Concubine Zhang Gui and the Zhang family behind him, and now he wants to marry a very wealthy daughter from the Jiang family, who has all the power, wealth, and power.

The third prince, Sheng Tingye, and the fifth prince, Sheng Tingzhao, were both descended from the empress, but the empress and the royal family preferred the fifth prince.

Although the third prince Sheng Tingye had made great military exploits and his prestige in the army was not inferior to that of General Qin, but there was no strong support from his mother clan behind him, and the saint was in his prime, so he was suspected of being the master of high meritorious service, so he was not accepted People are optimistic.

In addition, there is one remaining Seventh Prince born by Concubine Yun, not to mention powerless and powerful. He is only eight years old this year. Compared with the previous ones, he is really not competitive.

Today, the court can basically be divided into two factions.

One faction, headed by the Wang family, supported the fifth prince.

One faction, headed by the Zhang family, supported the second prince.

The Lin family remained neutral like the Yao family who withdrew from the fight for the reserve earlier, so it should not have been involved.

But I didn't expect that this time, someone would actually set their minds on Lin Yunzheng.

But if the second prince is excluded, is it possible that he is the fifth prince?
In Lin Yue's view, the fifth prince was far inferior to the third prince in front of him in terms of scheming, cunning, and strategy, and he couldn't figure out why the queen and the royal family would choose that one.

The design of Lin Yunhai and Lin Yunzheng this time, even putting the third prince in danger, looks like the second prince's handwriting.

But since Sheng Tingye said no, he had his reasons.

Sheng Tingye didn't say anything.

Lin Yue took a sip of tea, "What is your Highness planning?"

Sheng Tingye hooked the teacup with his slender fingers, "Wait and see."

"The other party did this by using Lin Yunhai's hand to get rid of Ah Zheng. They wanted to stir up conflicts in the Lin family, but also wanted to cut off the Lin family's wings, and then made the eldest princess hate me even more. By the way, they also blamed the second child."

Three birds with one stone.

It's not unwise.

This style is very similar to his queen mother.

However, Sheng Tingzhao hasn't taken that position yet, even though the brothers don't get along very well, in the eyes of outsiders, he is Sheng Tingzhao's help and a bargaining chip.

She will not break her own arm at this time.

Therefore, Sheng Tingye also felt strange.

He lowered his eyes and said: "We haven't moved for a long time, and the other party can't achieve his goal, so he will definitely not be able to sit still."

At that time, it will naturally show its feet again.

Lin Yueshen took it for granted, "Okay, I will discuss it with them later, don't worry, Your Highness."

Sheng Tingye nodded: "I'm here, and there is one more thing."

Lin Yue knew that the next words might be his main purpose of coming here.

He immediately put down the teacup and made a posture of listening attentively.

"Royal father came to see me today."

Normally, with such an opening statement, the following words will make people tremble at the tip of their hearts.

Lin Yue subconsciously clenched the teacup tightly.

Sheng Tingye raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yue: "He wants me to thoroughly investigate this Jiangbei disaster relief fund corruption case."

"Honestly, did the Lin family get involved?"

Lin Yue was shocked, and immediately shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I can guarantee this. Although there are people in the Lin family in the household department, they will never use disaster relief funds."

Having said that, he paused: "If there is, there is no need to keep such a person."

Sheng Tingye nodded, and said: "That would be the best, I just recommended you to the father to walk with me."

Hearing this, Lin Yue was not at all happy after being reused.

He hesitated and said: "But this injury on Xiaguan's body..."

Although his injuries were severe, they were not so severe that he couldn't leave the house.

The reason for thanking guests behind closed doors is to avoid this case.

He never expected that he was assigned to Sheng Tingye by the saint, and as his old boss, Sheng Tingye found him.

Still did not escape.

Sheng Tingye took the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly: "The first thing to check this time is the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"In addition, Shen Zhenglang should step down from that position. At that time, you Lin family, don't you want to put a few more people in the household department?"

Lin Yue was deeply tempted.

But if Sheng Tingye can find him, there must be nothing good, not to mention that this case also involves the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Zhang family.

It's a hot potato.

Sheng Tingye found him because he wanted to drag the Lin family into the water.

If he doesn't want to, there are people in the Lin family who will hand over the paper tomorrow, and the saint will not force him to do anything.

That's why Sheng Tingye has to come here in person.

Lin Yue stood up, hesitating a little.

Sheng Tingye didn't urge him, but just waited silently with a cup of tea.

After a few breaths, Lin Yue gritted his teeth, "I'm going to fight it out, I'm willing to go with His Highness."

"but……"

Speaking of this, Lin Yue suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Your Highness, the Shen Zhenglang you just mentioned is yours..."

The future father-in-law and his father.

"He has problems too?"

Sheng Tingye narrowed his eyes: "Although Shen Zhenglang is greedy, he is cautious and meticulous. This person has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he still doesn't have the courage to touch the money for disaster relief."

"It's just that I'm getting older, and it's time to make room."

Hearing this, Lin Yue was startled.

The more he heard this, the worse it became.

Since it is the natal family of his future prince and concubine, no matter from that angle, he should hope that Shen Zhenglang will sit firmly in that position for a long time and give him a helping hand.

The Shen family had no foundation at all, if Shen Zhenglang stepped down from the position of Minister of the Household Department, it would be even worse.

Out of caution, Lin Yue tentatively said: "However, Your Highness, seeing that your wedding date with the Shen family lady is approaching, let's go to Jiangbei to investigate the case at this time. If there is any delay, then..."

I'm afraid it's too late.

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye put down the teacup, looked up at him, his tone was cold, but he said firmly: "This marriage will not work."

Lin Yue was puzzled: "Huh?"

Sheng Tingye lowered his eyes, and at this moment, the scene of meeting the saint in the imperial study room today suddenly appeared in his mind.

He took the initiative to go to Jiangbei to investigate the case.

At the same time, he also asked his father for a reward.

"Father, to be honest, my son and the eldest daughter of the Shen family have different personalities. I know that the emperor's fate is difficult, but even if we barely get together, I am afraid that they will be a couple. The emperor gave his son a favor."

The saint just glanced at him lightly, "This marriage is decided by your mother, I thought you were after that girl."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before saying, "In that case, you can go to work with peace of mind."

This is equivalent to giving him a dose of reassurance.

As long as the case is handled beautifully, the marriage can be withdrawn.

Moreover, since his words have been spoken, and the emperor has not refuted them in person, no matter whether the case is successful or not, the marriage should also be withdrawn.

Sheng Tingye took a sip of tea, his cold eyes widened, and he turned to look at Lin Yue: "Let's talk about you again, the assassin last time was the girl you kept hiding?"

Hearing this, Lin Yue was immediately on guard. He coughed dryly, pretending to be confused with his understanding: "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about."

He thought he could fool around with this, but Sheng Tingye raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to give you a copy of that girl's information?"

Lin Yue's back was covered with cold sweat, and he immediately straightened his back, "Your Highness, since you already know, why bother to make fun of me."

Therefore, Sheng Tingye didn't come to ask for his opinion and invite him to go.

He must go.

His weakness was pinched, Lin Yue complained in his heart, but his face was calm, "Your Highness, when shall we set off?"

Sheng Tingye put down the teacup with a cold expression: "Three days later."

Three days.

Lin Yue murmured in his heart, and he was a little too tight.

Sheng Tingye raised his eyebrows: "If you think the time is too long, we can set off tonight."

Lin Yue knew that he did what he said, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's pretty good, just three days."

Sheng Tingye just got up and was about to leave.

Lin Yue also quickly got up and sent him out.

At this time, the latter's guard outside saw that the conversation between the two was over, so he dared to poke his head out and look at Lin Yue: "Master, there is a girl named Zhou Xi who said she has something important to see you."

"Zhou Xi?"

Lin Yue was bewildered, and didn't remember such a No. [-] person.

The guard reminded: "She said it was related to the case you handled in Dali Temple."

Before Lin Yue could speak, Sheng Tingye, who had already taken two steps, stopped, "Where is she?"

The guard didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to His Highness, you will be at the door."

Sheng Tingye withdrew his gaze from the guard and looked at Lin Yue who was about to follow: "I'm looking for you."

Lin Yue paused the steps he had already taken, and took them back very sensibly, "Your Highness, please."

Sheng Tingye nodded. After taking two steps, he thought of something and looked back at Lin Yue: "If she comes to you again in the future, just send someone to call me."

Although I don't know why, it's not a big deal, Lin Yue quickly agreed.

Only then did Sheng Tingye step out of the yard, got into the carriage waiting outside, left Lin's mansion through the side door, and walked around to the front door.

Shen Qingci, who was wearing a green pair of skirts, stood under the eaves of the corridor.

This dress was worn when she went to Qin Jiaojiao's house today, so many things happened after returning home, she didn't bother to change it.

It was okay during the day, but after nightfall, the capital of Kyoto was bitingly cold, and her body was a bit thin.

The driver is Qingyun.

Sheng Tingye knocked on the window, and the carriage stopped at the steps in front of the mansion.

Sheng Tingye opened a corner of the car curtain, looked at Shen Qingci who was waiting behind the stone lion, and said in a cold and distant tone, "Are you looking for me?"

Hearing this voice, Shen Qingci quickly turned around and looked over.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Sheng Tingye's deep and unpredictable eyes.

"grown ups!"

At this time, Shen Qingci looked forward to seeing him more than ever.

There was joy in her voice that she didn't realize, and the picturesque eyebrows and eyes were also full of surprises.

Seeing this, Sheng Tingye's originally tightly pursed thin lips rose slightly almost subconsciously.

But his voice was still indifferent: "What's the matter?"

Shen Qingci looked around, then at Qingyun, and finally at Sheng Tingye.

Sheng Tingye understood, "Come up and tell me."

Qingyun hurriedly stepped aside and let Shen Qingci get into the carriage.

Because it was a secret visit to the Lin Mansion, the carriage Sheng Tingye was riding in was not conspicuous and did not have any signs.

The space in the carriage is also not as luxurious and spacious as his usual travel.

As soon as Shen Qingci sat in, and there was a tall and straight Sheng Tingye sitting opposite, the space suddenly seemed cramped.

Qingyun had already urged the carriage to move forward, the horseshoes sounded, and the wheels of the carriage swayed.

To ease the embarrassment, Shen Qingci smiled brightly: "Master Lin, are you going to go out?"

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye raised his eyelids and looked at her appreciatively.

Thanks to him coming to Lin Yue tonight.

Otherwise, if she is asked to meet Lin Yue directly, his false identity will be exposed.

In fact, exposure was exposure, and it shouldn't matter, but Sheng Tingye couldn't explain why, and he continued to act in accordance with her misunderstood identity.

He didn't answer Shen Qingci's words, but instead asked: "What's the matter?"

Seeing that the trick was almost impossible, Shen Qingci clenched his sleeves subconsciously, "Master Lin, I want to ask, what happened to Gu Qiuli you caught last time?"

Sheng Tingye frowned slightly.

Seeing that he had no intention of telling, Shen Qingci had no choice but to tell about Tassel's situation.

At the end, she clenched her fists, "Master Lin doesn't want people like Gu Qiuli to go unpunished, does he?"

"Just take advantage of this opportunity to catch him."

"If he really hijacks me and goes to Chu State, it will be difficult for Mr. Lin to arrest him then, won't it?"

After saying this, Shen Qingci raised his eyes and watched his reaction quietly.

She felt that he should not stand by and watch, both for work and for personal reasons.

However, who would have thought that the next moment he raised his eyes, and said in a cold and indifferent tone: "In the final analysis, the person he wants to arrest is you."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

Seeing her devastated expression, Sheng Tingye was in a good mood.

He hit the nail on the head and said, "If you want to use me to get out of danger, you should at least show sincerity."

Shen Qingci scolded the dog official in his heart.

But when he raised his eyebrows and changed the topic, he still had to show a dog-legged smile: "Yes, yes, what kind of sincerity does Master Lin want?"

Sheng Tingye relaxed his body, leaned against the side wall, and raised his hand to touch his forehead. Compared with the previous sternness, his brows now looked a little lazy and casual.

He didn't speak, meaning to let Shen Qingci think for himself.

Shen Qingci's mind was spinning quickly, "Li Huozhu?"

"I'll tell you everything I know."

Sheng Tingye was unmoved.

Shen Qingci scolded a bitch in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face and said: "Master Lin, with his family status, shouldn't he look down on my little money?"

"Of course, if you want, I can give you all the property."

Sheng Tingye remained silent.

Shen Qingci resisted the urge to jump up and hit someone, and said angrily: "I don't want things or Mr. Qian, it's impossible for me to fall in love with me, right?"

The carriage that was galloping suddenly stopped at this moment.
