Lin Jiabiyu

King Liang looked at the fist-sized jade seal in the box and the crimson red material under the jade seal, his eyes sank for a moment, and his face was frighteningly gloomy, he stared at Princess Liang and asked, "Who sent it here? "

Concubine Liang's heart sank after being stared at by King Liang, her face became even more worried, she frowned and sighed, and blamed herself: "It was delivered by shopkeeper An, the shopkeeper of the medicinal material store on Guiyuan Street. Medicinal ingredients, hey, it’s all my fault.”

Concubine Liang paused, and King Liang still had a gloomy face and gloomy eyes, and sighed again and again, paying attention to King Liang's expression while explaining: "The shopkeeper came to Beijing for the first time to do business, and wanted to find a way out. , I somehow found the Shifu. At that time, it happened that Yu’s daughter-in-law’s natal grandmother was out of medicine, and she couldn’t find it anywhere, so it was the shopkeeper An who sent it.”

"Sister-in-law Yu saw that he was honest, responsible for doing business, and owed a favor, so she wanted to help him. The shopkeeper An was really responsible a few years ago, and he was very good at business. The medicinal materials are now Didn’t he become famous? In the past, shopkeeper An also sent festival gifts to our house every year, but this year... Hey, I checked the list in the inner warehouse. The coral carvings that came from the south of the box, for some reason, half of the year has passed, and someone sent this thing again... I’m afraid that the stewards accidentally wrote the wrong name.”

Concubine Liang sighed as she spoke, her face full of distress and worry, her eyes filled with self-blame and apology, and she asked in a slightly dependent tone: "I've sent people to shopkeeper An, and I'll ask you face to face later. It also saves him from being wronged, my lord sees..."

King Liang stared at the open box on the table with a sullen face. His eyes were dark and dark, making it impossible to see any emotion. After a moment of silence, he reached out and took out the jade seal that looked very similar to the jade seal. He picked up the crimson cloth under the box and twisted it lightly.

But with a blink of an eye, an unknown smile suddenly appeared on King Liang's face.Put the things back, closed the box with a snap, and said to Princess Liang: "This matter is big or small, you are a woman, don't worry about it, it's important to take care of the palace. That The shopkeeper. Let someone take him to the study room in another courtyard, and I will ask him personally! Such things must have a particular origin, and I have to find someone who knows how to judge."

Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and responded with a forced smile: "That's fine, I'm a woman. I was really scared. Now that the prince is here, I feel more at ease. It's just that shopkeeper... hey. Look He is also an honest person, my lord, please don't annoy me with nonsense, if someone really takes the name of shopkeeper An, please let him live."

King Liang's gaze stayed on Princess Liang for a moment, then he hummed calmly, took the box, and went out of the room directly.

Concubine Liang hurriedly stood up and sent it out.All the way to the gate of the courtyard, Liang Wang turned around the corridor and saw no one.Princess Liang rubbed her brows lightly.There was a gloomy look in her eyes, and she signaled her confidant girl to come over, pondered for a moment, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, the girl nodded solemnly, turned around and left the yard.

Liang Wang took the box and left the palace without a servant. He just asked a confidant in charge to drive and drove all the way to another courtyard.

The other yard of Prince Liang’s mansion is on the outskirts of the capital. Not to mention the vastness of the place, there is also a hot spring pool inside, which is the most important thing to support people.In winter, Liang Wang and his wife and several children often lived there for a while.

The boy in the gatehouse of the other courtyard shrunk his neck and hid behind the door, stomped his feet, squinted his eyes and saw the carriage of Prince Liang's mansion approaching, got up and stood firm, took a breath, and pulled the reddish hair with his hands. Cheeks, squeezed out a smile and greeted him.

Liang Wang got out of the carriage expressionlessly, and without waiting for the servants to serve him, he walked straight into the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the other courtyard.

The yard was very quiet, and the snow on the ground was swept away, revealing the bluestone slabs, which were still slippery.Liang Wang hurried into the yard, and instead of going to the corridor, he walked directly across the courtyard and stepped on the bluestone slab. Unexpectedly, his feet were unstable and he almost staggered and fell down. Fortunately, the steward beside him quickly helped Liang Wang a handful.But the boy behind him exclaimed in fright.

The young servant realized something was wrong when he screamed out, and threw himself on the ground trembling with fear, and just shouted "Prince, forgive your sins" in a trembling voice, when he was greeted by a very elegant and clean man in his forties who came out of the room. The middle-aged man interrupted with a smile.

"Why did your lord come here today? I was thinking of going out to enjoy the snow. Hey, you have to walk slowly, this slate is very slippery!" The middle-aged man's voice was soft and comfortable. smile.

The boy kneeling on the ground was still trembling, kicked away by a corner of the steward, lowered his voice and scolded fiercely: "Idiot! Why don't you get up? Go and watch outside the yard. The prince and Mr. Qi are discussing business, so no one can disturb you." !"

The little servant was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded his head in response, got up and staggered to the door, looking around vigilantly.

"Mister is very interested." Liang Wang's face also relaxed a little, and he signaled his confidant to go out and watch over him.

The smile in the eyes of the middle-aged man called "Mr. Qi" turned into a hint of surprise and seriousness, he hurriedly invited Liang Wang into the room, and made hot tea himself and served it.

"My lord came here in such a hurry, is there something important?"

King Liang nodded with a serious expression, passed the box in his hand, and motioned Mr. Qi to look at it. "Please take a look, sir. This thing was delivered to the palace this afternoon."

Mr. Qi frowned slightly, quickly took the box and opened it, his face suddenly changed, he took a breath, and asked in disbelief, "Where did the prince get this thing?"

"A shopkeeper who opened a medicine shop was sent to the palace, and the princess saw it when she went to check the inner warehouse." Liang Wang snorted gloomyly, "It seems that the princess has won the filial piety of others, and people took advantage of the loopholes. The king has sent someone Go and arrest that person, and you must have a good interrogation later!"

Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the things in the eye box, frowned slightly, slowly twisted his beard and muttered, and then looked at King Liang hesitantly after a while.

"Sir, you can speak directly if you have something to say. This king has always regarded you as a confidant." Liang Wang waved his hand.There was a slight smile on his face, and while sipping his tea, he signaled Mr. Qi to speak directly.

Mr. Qi thought for a while, seemed to be thinking about it, then stood up and bowed to the King of Liang to salute, pleading guilty with a serious face: "I speak wildly and lie, and I have to ask the lord to forgive me first. If I say something that should not be said, the lord ..."

"It's okay," Liang Wang waved his hand indifferently.He laughed and said, "Sir, just say what you have to say. Although this king is not as thoughtful as your husband, he also knows that such a great talent as Mr. Xi has always been unruly, so what if you just say a few arrogant words?"

Mr. Qi also smiled when he heard the words, and saluted again.Then he looked at King Liang, and advised him carefully: "From my point of view, the person who gave the gift may not have the intention of harming others. The prince might as well treat him with courtesy. I would like to ask about the origin of the jade seal and the cloth. Maybe you can ask some questions."

In the middle of the conversation, Mr. Qi stopped while twirling his beard.The tone dragged on a bit meaningfully. "Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years. In the past ten years, hey, the relatives are very powerful. The Queen Mother is still in control of the government at the age of five or sixty. If it weren't for the prince... this Beiyan may have... spoken lies, and I hope the prince will forgive me crime."

Mr. Qi's words stopped abruptly, but there was an unusual meaning.After finishing speaking, he hurriedly straightened his face, and pleaded guilty again with a look of fear.

King Liang's face darkened again.The light and shadow in his eyes were changing, cloudy and sunny, and he looked at Mr. Qi without a trace of emotion.

Mr. Qi lowered his head even lower, but he didn't have a word to defend himself, as if he had violated the stubborn temper of a literati, he just quietly bowed his body and waited for a word from King Liang.

The room was silent for a while, and the anger seemed particularly dull and depressed. After a long while, King Liang suddenly laughed out loud, stretched out his hand to help Mr. Qi, and said with a smile, "Why is this so, sir? Since the king said that he doesn't blame sir, it seems that Mr. Qi is like this." This king is being stingy. Sir, please sit down quickly. This king is here today because I want my husband to make an idea for this king. Fortunately, this thing was discovered early. Otherwise... I am afraid that this king will not be able to sit here anymore Talk to Mr.

The breath in the room seemed to flow in an instant, and the oppression and dullness just now dissipated in an instant.

Mr. Qi thanked him with emotion, and sat down under King Liang.

Liang Wang turned his head to look at the mahogany box, the smile on his face changed to melancholy sigh again, and his tone was a little sad and unwilling: "Mr. , is His Majesty's elder brother, but these years he has been walking on thin ice, being restrained everywhere. The Xiao family is powerful, these years... Hey, this was the choice of the previous emperor, and this king dare not talk about the elders, but Mr. Knowing the sorrow in this king's heart... Mister is really my confidant!"

"I'm so ashamed!" Mr. Qi hurriedly wanted to stand up and make a bow, but King Liang pressed him down impatiently.

"Sir, just sit down, hey, this king is also very upset today." Liang Wang paused, his brows furrowed, his face struggled, and he sighed after a while, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Qi Qi. The gentleman sighed, "Sir, I don't know. Your Majesty issued a secret decree yesterday, asking me to lead people to secretly attack Longchuan Mansion, and let Xiangye be the supervisor of the army. Hey, I thought I could take the opportunity to accept it." Longchuan Mansion is also of great benefit to Beiyan, and now... well, this king has been restless..."

"The prince is confused?" Mr. Qi suddenly jumped up from the stool, his face was anxious and helpless, and he was no longer as elegant and peaceful as before. He walked around the room, took a deep breath, and talked to King Liang again. After making a bow, he persuaded earnestly, "This matter is overstepped. But how can the prince agree easily? Longchuan Mansion has always been heavily guarded by the Lu family. Although Lu Er is not here now, the guards of Longchuan Mansion Among the generals of the army, there are quite a few who are good at fighting. It is best for the prince to take over the Longchuan Mansion, but... let alone the battle, once the prince leaves, the capital will be empty, except for the imperial guards. There are no other guards, if the Xiao family really has any plans...the prince must think about it for us Beiyan! Besides, the battlefield is changing rapidly, if someone has evil intentions, the consequences...please think again, the prince!"

Mr. Qi's face was solemn, and just after he finished speaking, he lifted his robe and knelt down. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
