Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 521 Meeting with Emperor Liang
In the end, Mu Qing could only send them away reluctantly. Qiu Yuan and Nihuang returned to Wenyuanbo's mansion and went into their own rooms.

But the situation on the prince's side at this time was completely different.

"Asshole, Qiu Yuan, this asshole, is really outrageous, outrageous!" the prince said angrily

Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please calm down. Qiu Yuan was just lucky this time. We will still have a chance later. After all, the Ministry of Justice is not an idle place.

"Sooner or later, there will be a chance to deal with him, so there is no need to do this, no need to do this." Xie Yu said
"Humph, of course I know, but so what? If I can deal with him in the future, that's a matter for the future. What I want is now. Do you understand now?" The prince said directly
After hearing this, Xie Yu did not speak for a while, but after his interruption, the prince did vent some of his anger.

"Okay, let's put Qiu Yuan's matter aside for now. We'll talk about it when we have the chance in the future. It's almost the end of the year, so don't cause any more trouble at this time." The prince said directly
After hearing this, Xie Yu naturally bowed and left. However, this time when he came out, he did not return home, but went to a mysterious place.

"Hmm? Lord Xie, you haven't contacted me for a while, what happened this time?" Xia Jiang said
"What else can I do? Of course it's because of recent events. Everything that happened recently gave me a bad feeling. I always feel that there is a force behind this." Xie Yu said
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. You are probably overthinking this. This old man is not just for show. If there is anything unusual, I would definitely know about it." Xia Jiang said
"Xia Shouzun, you misunderstood my meaning. I meant that there are some new changes in the court, but I don't know what these changes are yet."

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. Prince Jing has now become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. Lord Xia, you know what this means, right?"

"What kind of place is the Imperial Guard? Although His Majesty made the decision back then, being an elder doesn't mean he won't regret it. If that day comes, how will you and I cope?" Xie Yu said
"Well, Lord Xie, what you said makes sense. Just tell me how you want me to help you. Apart from supporting the Crown Prince, anything else is fine." Xia Jiang said
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia. I won't do that. After all, you are in this position, which is beneficial to me. If I harm you, I will harm myself. I know this truth."

"What I want you to do is very simple. Just keep a close eye on Mei Changsu and his Jiangzuo League. I believe this will not be difficult for Lord Xia, right?" Xie Yu said
"Oh? Mei Changsu? Will that genius die? This is simple enough, but keeping an eye on him? Is there any difference between that and helping the crown prince?" Xia Jiang said
"Of course there is a difference. Although Mei Changsu seems to be supporting Prince Yu, he is famous after all. He has never made any mistakes in the Langya List."

"As long as he's in the capital, I won't feel at peace, so I have to find a way to keep an eye on him and see if he really supports Prince Yu." Xie Yu said
"Haha, well, forget about that. I know your purpose, but it doesn't matter. For the sake of our past friendship, I will help you this time."

"But remember this, it's only this time. What I'm more curious about now is, if Ruo Ta really supports Prince Yu, what are you going to do?"

"As far as I know, you have already let Zhuo Dingfeng take action, and this is the result?" Xia Jiang said
"Don't worry about this, Lord Xia. Just help me check him out." Xie Yu said
"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask anymore. But don't forget what I said just now. I hope this is the last time. Goodbye." After Xia Jiang said that, he left.

Not long after he left, Xie Yu also left, and the place soon became quiet.

Time quickly came to the next day, and Nihuang and Qiu Yuan got up early in the morning.

"Madam, you don't have to get up so early. After all, we still have at least an hour before we adjourn. It's too early now. You should get more rest." Qiu Yuan said
"Haha, husband, if I don't get up now, how can I go quietly? Even if it's just a show, it has to be done well, right?" Nihuang said with a smile

"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Madam, you are really smart." Qiu Yuan said directly
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Just go to court without worry." Nihuang said
After hearing this, Qiu Yuan nodded, then walked out of the room. Not long after, he left the mansion to attend court. At this time, Nihuang also left the room, but she did not go out through the main door.

Today's morning court was unusually harmonious, and nothing happened. It was obvious that the ministers had not yet recovered from what happened yesterday.

After the court was dismissed, Prince Yu wanted to ask about Princess Qiu Yuan, but unfortunately Qiu Yuan did not give him the chance, so he had to give up.

When he returned to the palace and entered the study, he was stunned for a moment, because there was suddenly a person in his study. This person was none other than Princess Nihuang.

"Since Your Highness Prince Yu is back, why don't you come over? This is your study. Are you still worried that I might harm you?" Ni Huang said with a smile

Prince Yu reacted quickly after hearing this and said, "My princess, you are joking. How could that be?"

After he finished speaking, he walked forward, sat opposite Nihuang and said, "Princess, you said yesterday that you wanted to see me. I thought of all the possibilities, but I didn't expect it to be this way."

"Your Highness Prince Yu, I actually don't want to meet you in this way, or I don't want to meet you alone in the club, but I can't help it. Who made my husband like you?"

"So I have to come, but if I come with a big fanfare, I won't worry about anything, but Prince Yu, you will be in trouble, right?"

"So I have no choice but to use this method. As for why I am in the study? Because this is the only place in your mansion where no one will disturb you." Nihuang said directly
"My lord, you are really quick-witted. I admire you. Since you are here, I believe you still have something in mind for me. What do you mean?" Prince Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, Prince Yu is Prince Yu, he is really smart. Yes, compared to the Crown Prince, I am more optimistic about you, Your Highness, but your current performance is far from worthy of my bet."

"After all, you have no foundation in the army now. You tried to win over Prince Jing before, but Prince Jing's position is sensitive now. I'm afraid you can't do anything, right?" Nihuang said directly.
Prince Yu's heart sank when he heard this, but his expression did not change at all. He just kept talking to himself, "My lord, you are right. This is indeed the case for me now."

"But I think since you are here, you must be prepared. Why don't you tell me what conditions you want? If I can agree to them, I will naturally agree to them all."

After hearing this, Nihuang did not speak for a while, but thought carefully for a while before saying, "Your Highness Prince Yu, I just thought about it, I am at a disadvantage with this general condition." "But if this condition is too high, then even if you agree now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, so in my opinion, you should give this condition."

"Whatever you say is what it is. This way, there will be no more troubles. What do you think?" Ni Huang said
"My Lord, you have given me a difficult problem. But it doesn't matter. Since you have said so, let's do it this way."

"Princess, please go back today. When I have considered it, I will come to visit you in person, so you don't have to make another trip." Prince Yu said directly
"Okay, then I will wait for your good news, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now." Nihuang said directly
"Haha, Princess, take care. Don't worry, I will never let you down." Prince Yu said
After hearing this, Nihuang just smiled and didn't say anything. She just stood up and left. After she left, Prince Yu's expression became solemn.

Because he didn't expect that Princess Nihuang would come here like this. He originally thought that she would come to see him openly. Ma Yang himself still had something to say in front of his father.

But if his father knew about this way of meeting, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. However, he didn't think Nihuang did it on purpose, he just thought Nihuang was thinking too simply.

Prince Yu could almost conclude that the news of Princess Nihuang's meeting with himself had already appeared on his father's desk. He thought about it and quickly asked someone to find Prajna.

In fact, he was right. At this time, Emperor Liang had already received the news of their meeting.

At this moment, he looked at the message in his hand with cold eyes and said nothing. If he didn't speak, Xia Jiang standing opposite him naturally didn't dare to speak either.

"Lord Xia, how many people besides your Xuanjing Division know about this news?" Emperor Liang came
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. After all, the spies in Prince Yu's Palace are not just from my Xuan Jing Division. There are many more, so I really can't be sure." Xia Jiang said
As soon as Emperor Liang heard it, he knew who he was talking about. Yes, how could his other good son miss this good news? So he stopped asking.

"My dear, you need to think of a way to suppress this matter and prevent the news from leaking out. Get rid of all the spies in Jinghuan Mansion."

"Also, check the archives immediately to see if there is any He Jingzhong. If you find anything unusual, send it to me immediately." Emperor Liang said directly
After hearing this, Xia Jiang naturally bowed hurriedly and then left the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Liang's face became extremely gloomy.

In fact, the prince did not know this at the moment, because Prince Yu knew all the spies in Prince Yu's mansion clearly, so naturally they would not find out anything unusual.

It's just like Prince Yu's spies in the Eastern Palace, who are also well known to the Crown Prince. The reason they don't clean them out is just to avoid trouble.

After all, once you clean it up, the other party will still send a new batch in. At that time, not only will it be troublesome for them, but you will also have to check it again.

But now this balance has been broken because Xia Jiang is about to take action. However, for Prince Yu at this moment, this is of no importance.

"Prajna, what do you think we should do now? I'm not worried about my father. Even if he knew, he would just try to embarrass me. What about Princess Nihuang?"

"What kind of conditions do you think I should set for her so that she will agree to my request?" Prince Yu looked at Qin Prajna and said
Your Highness, I think that we can think about these conditions slowly, but His Majesty cannot delay. After all, although this kind of thing has happened before, what are the identities of those people?
"How can they be compared with the princess? Not to mention them, even Xie Yu is not as threatening to your majesty as the princess. So I don't think your majesty will let it go so easily this time, so you'd better make preparations early." Prajna said directly
"This, what you said has reminded me that this is still unusual. I was too careless. I will send someone to inform them and ask them to behave themselves recently." Prince Yu said hurriedly.
Prajna nodded after hearing this, and then continued, "My Lord, please forgive me for being blunt, but you don't have the ability to win over the princess now."

"With your current conditions, you are not enough to win over the princess. I think the reason why the princess came to see you this time should be because of Minister Qiu's influence."

"So instead of thinking about how to give the princess conditions, why not change the direction? Since Minister Qiu can influence the princess, why should we go far away?"

After hearing this, Prince Yu fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. After a long while, he said, "Yes, Prajna, you are right. In fact, I understand this principle."

"It's just that the temptation before was too great. After all, that is Prince Mu's Mansion. If I can really win them over to serve the king, then the king's great cause will be within reach."

"Now it seems that I have been thinking too much. I should be honest and take one step at a time. Well, I will no longer think about the affairs of Prince Mu's Mansion from now on." Prince Yu said
"Your Majesty, it's great that you think so. Your Majesty, apart from these, you also have to be careful in this mansion, after all, there are those spies from the Eastern Palace?" Prajna hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, Prajna. I have thought of these things before. They don't know what happened today. I have already arranged them long before." Prince Yu said directly
After hearing this, Qin Prajna felt a lot more relieved. After all, he knew the person he had chosen. Since he said so, there was no need to worry.

But just as I finished speaking, trouble came. The butler's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "My lord, something has happened, my lord."

Prince Yu frowned upon hearing this. After all, as his steward, he shouldn't have disturbed him at this time. Perhaps something troublesome had happened.

Once you let him in again, he and you will soon know what happened.

"What did you say? Someone died? And more than one? What happened? Has the murderer been found? Who are the dead?" Prince Yu asked with a frown.
