"Returning to the Holy Lord, everything in the second prince's mansion is as usual. In Haishi, someone entered the third prince's mansion, and after that, there is no trust." The voice of the dark guard kneeling on the ground was still flat, and after finishing his reply, he quietly lowered his head and waited. Following the orders of Emperor Chengming.

There was silence in the great hall, and the candlelight danced slightly, elongating the figure of the person.Emperor Cheng Ming's face became more and more unclear in the slightly dim candlelight, and it took a long time for Emperor Cheng Ming to suddenly open his eyes, and there was some chilling air and sarcasm in his eyes.

"The third child has grown up, hmph!" Emperor Cheng Ming stood up, pinching a few notebooks on the desk with his fingers, a stern look flashed across his slightly sickly face, "I'm not dead yet!"

When Emperor Cheng Ming said this, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he swept the papers on the case table with a bang.But in the blink of an eye, the book was scattered all over the place.

Emperor Cheng Ming raised his hand to cover his chest, coughing suppressedly, the more he coughed, the louder he coughed, until his face flushed and he coughed a little short of breath, then he slowly slowed down.

The dark guard knelt on the ground motionless, his face was hidden in his own shadow, and he couldn't see his expression at all, only his fingers resting on his knees moved slightly, showing that the master was absent-minded at this moment.

"How about Lu Junqing?" Emperor Cheng Ming calmed down, his complexion softened a little, but his eyes were still gloomy and stern, he leaned back on the chair, and asked in a neutral voice.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the body of the dark guard did not move. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "The news came at Xushi today. When the shadow guard was fighting with members of the Lu family, the carriage fell into the river. So far no body has been found. Some of the merchants along the way once said that they had seen the person in the car before, and it was indeed Lu Junqing."

Emperor Cheng Ming grunted dispensably, and a sneer gradually emerged from the corners of his mouth, "Very well, I have done the Lu family a great favor. Tomorrow you, all the officials will enter the palace, and Zheng An will be on standby at any time. This festival Yan, I should settle accounts with Lu Hanguang. No one from the Lu family can go out! You keep an eye on the Ye family. As long as Ye Shengying stops Lu Junzhao, they will all be killed! Pass the order to Wei Lang, Let him take a good look at the Marquis of Chong'an! Hmph, that little lady of the Lin family is still in the north, she has some skills, but after all, she's just a little girl..."

The dark guard agreed.Flashed out of the hall.The hall of Cheng Qian became cold and silent again, and the cold wind from outside came in from nowhere, making the candle light flicker slightly, and Emperor Cheng Ming's eyes became blurred, but there was still a sneer on the corner of his mouth, quietly Leaning back in the chair.The breath gradually grew longer.

The servant Su Wen walked into the hall cautiously, looking at Emperor Cheng Ming on the back of the chair.Sighing with complicated eyes, he squatted down again, and gently picked up the scattered folders on the ground one by one.

At midnight, everything was quiet, and the cold moonlight shone on the ground, giving off a hazy halo.In the Xishan camp, there was still a light on in the big tent of Zheng Taihe, the capital of the Tiger Wing Army.The big tent seemed a bit deserted, and the burning charcoal basin couldn't dispel the cold air in the middle of the night.

Zheng Taihe stared at his nephew Zheng An with a gloomy face.His gaze was like a sharp sword, revealing a faint evil spirit.

Zheng An let Zheng Taihe scrutinize him expressionlessly, seeing that Zheng Taihe looked away, there was a little fluctuation on his face, and he raised his brows and laughed: "Uncle is in a good mood today, but my nephew is drinking the wine. It's terrible. It's getting late, uncle should go to bed earlier. Since uncle doesn't want to listen to what my nephew says, nephew shouldn't force it either. Nephew will leave first." Saying that, without looking at Zheng Taihe's face, he stood up He bowed his hands towards Zheng Taihe, and walked out of the big tent on his own.

Zheng Taihe stared coldly at Zheng An's back, and when he was out of sight after turning the curtain, he suddenly burst into a fit of violence, lifted his foot and kicked over the desk opposite him, spilling the wine glasses and plates on it. The floor was crackling, shattered, and the jug rolled around on the ground, and the wine in the jug was also spilled all the way—the mess in the big tent was all over the floor.

Zheng Taihe stared at the flagon on the ground, and suddenly felt discouraged, and fell down on the chair in a slumped manner, raising his hand to his forehead wearily, with a wry smile on his face.

Forget it, Da Lang admits to death, has a stubborn temper, and he doesn't want to change after he recognizes a master, otherwise he won't be picked by the sage.But in the current situation, he could no longer allow him to think too much. The Holy Spirit was exhausted, and there would eventually be a battle among the princes. He had long been involved in it, and he couldn't choose it.He has to fight for his children and grandchildren!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, as usual in the capital, the shops on the streets and alleys opened one after another, and the morning market was even more lively. There were groups of children laughing and running back and forth, occasionally jumping up. Pulling the lantern on the street, the adults laughed and scolded a few words, and ran away quickly.

Early in the morning, the fourth prince walked out of Yuci's mansion with a yawn, and looked at the door twice.The alley was empty, and a few servants were sitting on the steps. When they saw their master, they got up quickly and greeted Ann graciously.

The fourth prince stretched his waist, sighed a little bored, waved to the boys impatiently, then turned back to the courtyard, walked slowly in the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching with great interest. The scenery along the way.

This courtyard was the Prince's Mansion when Emperor Cheng Ming was not enthroned. Later, when Emperor Cheng Ming ascended the throne, the courtyard was always empty.Now Emperor Cheng Ming suddenly proposed marriage to the fourth prince, and the wedding date was set in March, the time was too tight, the two ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry complained bitterly, and wrote a booklet saying that it was indeed too late to build the prince's mansion.

Emperor Cheng Ming didn't say a word, and the next day he made an announcement to give the vacant Prince's Mansion to the Fourth Prince, and the courtiers inevitably had another turmoil.

"Fourth Lord is so excited!" The fourth prince was paying attention to the plaque in the yard, when Mr. Du, a staff member of the mansion, came up, with a refined smile on his face, bowed to the fourth prince and saluted, glanced at the door lintel from the corner of his eye His brows moved slightly, he twirled his beard and smiled, "I heard that the previous study of the Holy Majesty is here. This plaque was given by the late emperor's imperial pen. The late emperor's handwriting is very strong..."

The fourth prince let out an oh, but he didn't seem to care. He just looked at Mr. Du with a smile, "I can't appreciate this! I just think it's beautiful." After saying this, he spread his hands and looked around. Going forward, he pulled Mr. Du and said, "Let's go, I've been in Hongcui Building for the past few days, and I haven't had a good look at the yard yet, so my husband followed me around. They say this yard is good, but I want to take a look at it." Where is it! The master also told the master, what a good way."

Mr. Du was stunned for a moment, sighed dumbfoundedly, and was dragged by the Fourth Prince staggeringly for half of the yard.It wasn't until the end of the hour that he managed to catch his breath and had dinner with the fourth prince in the small attic.

The servants served the food and wine, the Fourth Prince waved them away, picked up the jug and got two glasses of wine by himself, with a carefree and contented smile on his face.

"Mr. Du, have a taste of this wine. My ex-father won it back from the clock shopkeeper of Lanyue Tower! It took me a long time." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, aftertaste for a while, half Squinting his eyes, he took a comfortable breath, and praised in a joyful tone, "It's really good!"

Mr. Du took a sip of his drink as he looked at the expression on the fourth prince's face, followed by a compliment.After a pause, seeing that the fourth prince had already looked out of the attic, his heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "I followed the fourth master today and walked around, I really feel that this courtyard is built with ingenious craftsmanship, and it is full of nobility everywhere. This attic has a better view, the location is well chosen, it is condescending, and you can see half of the capital from afar. The Holy Majesty has a fatherly heart towards Fourth Master, which is really touching."

Mr. Du said, left the wine glass behind, stood up and cupped his hands towards the Forbidden Palace, Fang turned his head to look at the fourth prince, hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The fourth master has been out these few days, cough cough, take a rest , I dare to ask, today is the feast in the palace, Fourth Master has chosen the etiquette? I am not talented, if Fourth Master can use it, I must be completely insane..."

"Hey, I really forgot!" The fourth prince jumped up, shook his head and smiled, grabbed Mr. Du's arm and stomped his feet, and said with emotion, "Since you mentioned it, you can choose a gift for me." The fourth prince paused for a moment, with a smile in his eyes, and a bit of joke in his voice, "It's just a gift, and you don't need to worry about it, sir, just use a snack!"

The fourth prince spoke briskly, paused for a while on the word "intention", patted the back of Mr. Du's hand, sat down with a smile, crossed his legs, and was full of contentment.

Mr. Du's heart skipped a beat, and a layer of cold sweat soaked down his back, but he still smiled respectfully on his face, and bowed his hands to the fourth prince.

In the afternoon, the fourth prince walked back to the inner courtyard slowly with his hands behind his back and a carefree appearance.After entering the study, the smile on the fourth prince's face suddenly turned cold, and he lightly ordered towards the empty room: "Look at Du Chengxian! Tell Wei Xiang that the Lantern Festival ceremony is not ready yet, but the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother Brother may have prepared a big gift. Although I don’t care about things, I can’t make people laugh, so I ask him to pick it out for me.”

The Marquis of Chong'an's mansion was also quiet at the moment. In the study of the main courtyard, Lin Zhiyuan, the Marquis of Chong'an, listened to Liao Zhongwen's words with a gloomy face.

"...Don't worry, Lord Hou, the carriages are all ready-made, and the streets are so lively at night, it's okay for the wives and young masters to go out and look at the lights."

Lin Zhiyuan's face was tense, his brows were wrinkled and wrinkled, and he stared fixedly at Liao Zhongwen. After a long while, he suddenly relaxed his brows, and asked with a sullen face, "How long have you been with Miss Wan?"

"Five years." Liao Zhongwen still had an elegant and gentle smile on his face, and after getting married, he became more calm and introverted than before.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, pinching the teacup with his fingers slightly, "You are good at handling things. Ms. Wan... Like her father, that child is also smart and sensible. I am old, I have not taught my children and grandchildren well in this life, and I will not teach them well in the future." Just pointing out that the grandson can keep his own place and study well. There are many things in the mansion, and there is no one in charge in the mansion after we go out. But watching a lantern festival, two people are enough for company. "

Liao Zhongwen hesitated for a moment, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered slightly, he sighed, and agreed with a long bow. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
