Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 542 Adding fuel to the fire
Xia Jiang didn't believe a word of what Xie Yu said. After all, to him, Xie Yu's existence itself was a huge hidden danger.

It's not like he hadn't thought about eliminating this hidden danger in advance, but he could never find a suitable opportunity. After all, Xie Yu was a first-rank military marquis and was also in charge of the patrol camp.

If he misses the target, he will suffer endless troubles. After all, Xie Yu is the prince's man now. No matter what the purpose is, the prince will definitely help him.

The reason why he had tolerated it several times before was not because of the prince? If it wasn't for the prince, how could he have given Xie Yu so many chances?
After Xie Yu left, he returned to Xuan Jing Division and called his two apprentices over.

"Now that you're here, you should have heard about what happened in the morning court, right? You've been to the scene, but did you find anything?" Xia Jiang said directly
"Master, based on what my senior brother and I have done, we have basically identified the murderer. The injuries on Lord Shen's body can only be caused by two kinds of martial arts."

"But there are no disciples in the capital, so we can basically conclude that the murderer is from Tianquan Villa. As for who it is, it's hard to say." Xia Dong said directly
Hmm? Tianquan Villa? If it is really Tianquan Villa, then it is not easy to move. After all, you know his relationship with Xie Yu. He is now the prince's man.

"If we don't have other evidence now, I'm afraid we won't be able to move into Tianquan Villa. Whenever this happens, life will become very difficult for us at Xuanjing Division."

"It was like this then, and it's still like this now. Listen carefully, both of you. This matter ends here. Don't mention it to anyone, so as not to alert the enemy."

"We will take action against them after we find solid evidence. Before that, we must not act rashly, otherwise the prince will definitely bear a grudge against us." Xia Jiang said with an embarrassed look on his face.

After hearing this, Xia Dong and the others didn't say much. After all, they could understand the master's difficulties, so they just bowed and left.

After the two came out, they walked and said, "Brother, how come Master came so quickly this time?"

"Junior sister, you know that the situation of the emperor changing his ministers may be eased for others, but for us in the Xuan Jing Division, there will be no easing."

"So every time this time comes, the heads of the Xuan Jing Division will be cautious. After all, they cannot guarantee that the next emperor will trust the Xuan Jing Division." Xia Chun said
"Yes, it's a troubled time. What can we do? Well, Brother, I'll go over and see if I can find any clues. I'll leave the Zhuo family to you." Xia Dong said
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will keep a close eye on them, and I will do it openly. It will be easier for you to investigate if I'm here to attract attention." Xia Chun said with a smile

After hearing this, Xia Dong naturally nodded directly, and the matter was settled. However, because of Prince Jing's disturbance, the other parties were also not very peaceful.

"Can you really guarantee your safety? Because of Xiao Jingyan's disturbance this morning, the matter has become a big deal now. With the cooperation of the Three Divisions and the Xuan Jing Division, are you really confident that you can escape?" The prince said worriedly
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Even if the Xuan Jing Division has doubts, they dare not act rashly. However, Shen Zhui is not dead after all. Should we wait until he is better? Then?" Xie Yu said
"Yes, he is not dead, so the danger is not over yet, and we cannot let our guard down. By the way, is Shen Zhui still with Xiao Jingyan?" the prince asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. Shen Zhui has been recuperating in Prince Jing's mansion. We can't do anything about it." Xie Yu said
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. Shen Zhui's injury will take at least a month or two to recover. We still have time. You can go back first."

"Remember, you must tell them that they cannot be caught by the Xuan Jing Division, otherwise no one can protect them. You are responsible for this matter. If there is any problem, you will be held responsible." The prince said
After hearing this, Xie Yu naturally bowed in a hurry, then slowly left the imperial study. After he left, the prince was not idle either, but went directly to find his mother.

"Son, why are you here today? I guess it's because of the morning court?" Concubine Yue asked directly
"Mother is wise. I did come here for this matter. After all, I thought about the consequences before doing this. But I couldn't have thought that Jamel Xiao would stand up at that time."

"This matter has become a big deal, and there is no way to deal with it now. Although my father is only angry today, there is no guarantee that Xiao Jingyan will not continue to make reports in a month."

"After all, he is famous for his stubborn temper. He won't listen to anyone. The only one who can persuade him is Concubine Jing. So I was thinking, Mother, can you? Can you?" the prince said.
"Son, I can do this, but it may not go as you wish, since Xiao Jinghuan and Xiao Jingyan have cooperated."

"As for the Queen, she is very close to Concubine Jing. I tried to get close to her several times before, but was rejected by that female doctor every time."

"So even if I come forward now, I'm afraid there may not be any good news. And once the Queen's Town is lost, I'm afraid there will be many unnecessary incidents." Concubine Yue said helplessly.

"This, this, what should I do? Mother, am I just going to sit here and wait for death?" the prince said.
“Son, aren’t you just worried that Jamel Xiao will chase you and won’t let you go? His character can’t be changed, but what about Shen Zhui? Can’t he change it either?”

"Maybe he really couldn't change before, but what about after this assassination? People will change. How can you know if you don't try?" Concubine Yue advised.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? Mother, you are so smart. Well, I will go back and arrange it now." After the prince said this, he left in a hurry.

Looking at her son's departing back, Concubine Yue shook her head helplessly. She knew her own family affairs and her son was still too young.

It seemed that there were some things that still required her more help, so she stood up and went to Concubine Jing's bedroom.

Concubine Jing's mind raced at the sudden arrival of Concubine Yue, and she quickly guessed the purpose of her coming. So she greeted her respectfully with a smile on her face, but in fact she was secretly on high alert in her heart.

"Sister Yue Fei, you said you were coming, why didn't you inform me in advance? I was so ready, but you see how messy I am. It's really rude." Jing Fei said
"Hey, sister, you're joking. How can you say your place is messy? If you really want to say it's messy, my place is much messier than yours." Concubine Yue responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Concubine Jing smiled and didn't rush to ask. Concubine Yue was even less anxious now. After all, she came here today just to show off.

So the two of them just talked about other things and didn't say a single serious word, but time passed slowly. After a full hour, Concubine Yue got up to say goodbye.

Concubine Jing naturally sent the person away respectfully, and after sending the person away, her face became not so good, after all, she also saw the purpose of Concubine Yue's visit today. But sometimes she was so helpless, even if she saw the abnormality, she could not do anything at all, because Concubine Yue's status was higher than hers, and she was more favored than her.
So even though she knew that she was here to plot against her, she still had to greet her with a smile. In fact, this meeting could not be hidden from the Queen's eyes and ears.

"Oh? You mean, Concubine Yue went to Concubine Jing's place and stayed there for an hour before leaving?" the Queen asked
"Yes, Madam, the news our people sent back cannot be wrong." said the confidant
"Okay, I understand. You can go down first. This matter ends here." said the queen.
After hearing this, the confidant naturally withdrew obediently. After she left, a hint of sneer appeared on the queen's face. She knew the character of Concubine Yue too well.

This time it was obviously just a trick to sow discord. She didn't really take it seriously, but this incident was also a good thing for her.

It could be used to test whether Concubine Jing's heart was on his side, so he didn't care, and no rumors spread, as if she really knew nothing.

However, after paying respects on the second day, Concubine Jing, who had already returned, appeared in front of the gate of Kunning Palace again, waiting to be summoned by the Queen.

When the queen learned that it was Concubine Jing who came, she was naturally very happy. It seemed that Concubine Jing was very smart, since she knew how to deal with the current situation.

Naturally, she had to give him enough face. After all, her son needed Prince Jing's help right now. So the two of them, like sisters, had a very pleasant conversation, which was completely different from yesterday.

When this news reached Concubine Yue, she was surprisingly calm. After all, she had already anticipated the current situation and this would be the outcome before she went there yesterday.

So she was not angry now, just a little regretful. In fact, she knew very well that her plan had little hope, but she still wanted to give it a try.

After all, if things go according to normal circumstances, the relationship between Concubine Jing and the Queen will only get better and better, and their relationship also represents the relationship between Prince Yu and Prince Jing.

So she had to do this now. Even if she failed, she would never regret it. She could only think about finding an opportunity next time. Anyway, she would not let them live in peace.

At this time, Xie Yu, who was already a little overwhelmed, met an innocent son. Meanwhile, Xiao Jingrui was staring at him with anger.

"Hmm? Jingrui, why are you looking at your father like that? Who asked you to come in directly? Have you been in the underworld for too long and have you forgotten all the rules of your family?" Xie Yu asked
"Father, of course I haven't forgotten, but I just don't understand. Isn't it better for us to continue as before? Why do you insist on getting involved in the fight for the throne? And why do you have to do all kinds of evil things?"

"Father, why? What's wrong with you? Why do you have to do this?" Xiao Jingrui said

"Jing Rui, what did you say? Evil deeds? Who allowed you to talk to me like that? Didn't you ask me why? Well, I'll tell you why now!"

"You don't think that I can continue to waver, do you? I am in a high position now, but who gave me the power? It is because of the grace of His Majesty!"

"If your Majesty were gone, do you think our family would still be where it is now? Would you still be able to be so carefree in the martial arts world like you are now?"

"Don't dream! Do you know that once your father loses the power in his hands, our two families will fall apart in an instant, and no one will be spared!" Xie Yu said directly.
"But father, why do you have to do these things? The same goes for other people, why don't they have it? Why can they do it? Why can't you?" Xiao Jingrui continued

"You rebellious son! What else could it be? Of course it's because of the military power! There are so many nobles in the capital, why am I, a rising star, a first-class military marquis?"

"It is because of your majesty's favor that the Patrol Battalion is in my father's hands. I am a powerful military marquis. Without this Patrol Battalion, I would be nothing!"

"The throne can be passed down from generation to generation, but have you ever heard that the emperor's favor can also be passed down from generation to generation? You have never cared about these things since you were a child. You only care about yourself and your life."

"Okay, sure. It's not that we can't support you as an idler at home, but I'm telling you today that even if you can't help, you can't cause trouble for the family! Get out right now!" Xie Yu said
Xiao Jingrui was speechless after hearing this and could only quietly retreat. After he left, Zhuo Dingfeng came out and said, "My Lord, calm down. Jingrui is a young boy and still lacks experience."

"I know, of course I know. I just couldn't help myself for a moment. After all, you are also clear about the current situation, Brother Zhuo. We can't cause any more trouble." Xie Yu said
"Don't worry, my Lord. In the future, just stay away from him and be careful of him. Don't let him know. I believe that after what happened today, he will grow up." Zhuo Dingfeng advised.
"I hope so. Well, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about our business." Xie Yu said
"My Lord, the current situation is that wherever we go, there are people from the Xuan Jing Division watching us. We can't do anything at all. Now we can only make plans after our people arrive in Beijing." Zhuo Dingfeng said

"Well, we still have time anyway. There's no need to rush. Let's take our time." Xie Yu said
After hearing this, Zhuo Dingfeng felt relieved. He was really worried just now. If Xie Yu asked him and his son to assassinate again, it would be a big trouble.

After all, he is now in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the defense there is not comparable to Shen Zhui's. Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.

At the same time, Prince Yu was discussing something with Prajna.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, we have two choices. One is to keep our troops in place and protect Shen Zhui, and then have him submit an impeachment petition."

"The advantage of doing this is that we can save time and effort. After all, we are now in Prince Jing's Mansion. We don't actually have to do too much and can just sit back and enjoy the results."

"But there are also disadvantages to doing this. That is, the matter is not serious enough. Even if Your Majesty issues an order to punish the prince, it is estimated that it will not be too serious." Prajna said
