Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 136 Father and Son
The emperor chuckled: "That's it, Yu'er doesn't have to worry about it. Boy Ming is lucky. This time he went out, not only did he complete his errand, but he also hit a gold mine. I have sent people to detect it. Well, if the gold mine is rich enough, hahaha, at least the army will not have to worry about food and grass."

While the emperor was speaking, his eyes did not leave the prince's face. He had given him his last chance. Unfortunately, this good son was determined to steal the gold mine!
Sure enough, the prince, who was always the best at concealing things, suddenly changed his expression: "Yes...is it?"

The prince's mind was spinning at the moment, how could it be possible?Could it be that his father was deceiving him again?This father's thoughts and methods have always been unfathomable.He immediately came back to his senses after a moment of gaffes, with a look of surprise on his face: "Cousin Ming has indeed found a gold mine? Where is it? Cousin Ming, you can't really be so lucky to see the gold nugget exposed, right? "Will this ignorant Pan Jiaming know where there are gold mines?
Pan Jiaming didn't seem to hear the irony in the prince's words, and said with a smile: "How can such a good thing happen? But Uncle Zhuang has been mining gold with his father since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the characteristics of the mine. It's really great to have Uncle Zhuang following me. It's like a gold nugget was exposed after hitting it, haha." He was ordered to investigate the gold mine, so he was naturally prepared.

The prince is really worried now, isn't he?
The queen was truly surprised: "Ming'er, is this true? Did you really help the emperor find a gold mine?" No wonder the emperor just said that this child had made great contributions.

The emperor laughed loudly: "How can my golden words be false? Mr. Ming, you go back to your hometown to see your grandmother first. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Sixth Department to study. Let's start with the Husbandry Department, which happens to be responsible for the Baieling Gold Mine and Xishan Racecourse.”

Pan Jiaming grimaced: "Your Majesty, are you rewarding me? Or are you punishing me?"

The Queen slapped him on the right arm: "What are you talking about? Such a big man has no formal appearance!" Pan Jiaming will take over the British government in the future, and the future of the Pan family will be on his shoulders. The Emperor is willing to train The Queen was naturally very happy to reuse him.

Of course, Pan Jiaming knew that the emperor had already spoken and there was absolutely no reason to take it back. Moreover, this was a plan that the emperor had mentioned many times.Then he resigned politely and left. When he turned around, he glanced at the prince who was struck by lightning and sighed secretly.He has always known that the emperor does not like the prince, but according to the emperor's temperament, as long as the prince fulfills his duties, once he has been established, he will not be easily abolished. After all, there is already a deposed prince, right?But the prince is so eager to plan because he thinks the emperor is physically strong and is worried about the long nights and dreams?How could the emperor not feel chilled?
The prince was really knocked unconscious by this sudden blow, Bai Eling?How did Pan Jiaming know about Baieling?How did he discover that there was a gold mine in Baieling?impossible!impossible!How much manpower and financial resources did he spend, and it took him two full years to confirm that the gold mine was in Baieling? Pan Jiaming, two boys and a coachman went to Luo City in only ten and a half days to find Baieling?Not many people in the entire Luo City still know the name Baieling, right?What's more, there are Zhong Kai and others in Luocheng who are holding Pan Jiaming's attention?what is going on?What is he going to do now?Does your father know that the person who bought Baieling is his?

"What's wrong, Yu'er?" The emperor took a sip of the tea handed over by Yi Luo, "Are you so happy? Still, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"No...no," the prince forced a smile and replied, "Erchen just thinks that cousin Ming is so lucky. Erchen worked so hard and didn't even see the shadow of the gold mine. He was so relaxed. I bumped into Song Song, could it be... could it be a mistake?"

"Really?" the emperor said coldly, "We will find out when the detectorists come back. They have set out early now and brought my decree to the Luozhou magistrate. In a few days, the exact news will come back. .”

The coldness in the emperor's tone made the prince shiver involuntarily, and he came back to his senses completely: "Yes, I congratulate the emperor in advance! If it is really a rich gold mine, it will be a blessing to the emperor and to me. "Father, the Queen and the Queen, I have resigned. My mother and concubine are going to Jueming Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pick up the Emperor's grandmother. The children and ministers are also preparing to accompany me. Firstly, I will pray for my father, the Queen and the Queen, and secondly, I will protect the Emperor's grandmother and mother and concubine." In the palace. There are too many informants, so he needs to go out and make some arrangements. First of all, the second master of Baieling must be replaced quickly. If someone from Beijing recognizes him, it will be very troublesome.Although not many people recognized that person, who knew who the emperor sent?Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Jueming Temple is a royal temple located in a royal summer resort in the north of the capital. The horse-drawn carriage journey also takes five or six days.Since the death of the late emperor, the Queen Mother will stay in the temple for a month every year a few days before the memorial day of the late emperor's life, chanting sutras and praying for the late emperor and Da Ying.The prince's biological mother, Concubine Qi, is the Queen Mother's direct niece, so her relationship with the Queen Mother is naturally closer than that of other concubines, including the Queen.Fortunately, the emperor's affection for the queen is extraordinary, otherwise the queen would not have an easy life with such a "sister" supported by the queen mother.

The emperor waved his hand: "Go ahead, I'm also going to ask you to pick up your imperial grandmother on my behalf." Some things should be investigated thoroughly, such as the accident at the hunting ground, and the person who was imprisoned three months ago. The deposed prince in the cold palace was almost poisoned to death.I originally thought that deposing the prince one after another would be bad for the stability of the country and would easily cause turmoil in the people. But now it seems that if I continue to turn a blind eye, I am afraid that... the country and the people will become even more unstable.

The queen sat silently watching the interaction between the father and son. She felt that something was wrong with the prince today. Now looking at the emperor's expression and words, she was even more sure that something had happened.The queen has no children of her own and basically treats all princes and princesses equally, at least that's how it seems to everyone.The emperor had suggested to her more than once that she should choose a prince she liked and put him under his name, but she politely declined. She only said that the emperor's children were all her children, and it made no difference whether he put him under his name or not.She knew that the Queen Mother had always wanted the second prince (not yet the prince at that time) or the fifth prince born to Concubine Qi to pass under her name and gain the status of a direct descendant.

However, she had thought about it a few days ago and wanted to put the third princess Ouyang Chun, who grew up in Kunhe Palace, under her name. The child's biological mother, Concubine Yu, suffered a massive hemorrhage during childbirth and died. The emperor saw that the baby had grown Since he looked like her, someone brought Kun Hegong in his arms, saying that he wanted to keep her company.Princess Chun moved to Chunhe Palace two years ago and after her haircut, but she still often came to Kunhe Palace to accompany her to eat or have fun. She was very well-behaved and filial, and she also loved her little niece Pan Shuling.
