Mad Concubine Married: Black-bellied Lord, wait and see

Chapter 105

"My lord, my subordinates believe that we must maintain a balance of strength. Now, the third prince is a little weak. If we are moving the third prince's people, the second prince will take advantage of it. Why don't we let the second prince and the third prince fight slowly, and wait for the third prince to fight?" When they lose both sides in the fight, it's not too late for us to make a move." Rufeng's suggestion is to stand on the sidelines.

Nangong Ruize and Steward Zheng looked at each other with a smile, they also agreed with Rufeng's point of view, if the third child was so easy to fight, the second child would definitely point the finger at Prince Rui's residence.

"Rufeng, tell Xueying to keep an eye on Gong Jianming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This time, we will take him under the knife."

Gong Jianming was originally a son of a poor family, and he was not very popular in the court. If he hadn't worked hard for the Shen family, he would not have become the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Back then, when he was abolished as the crown prince, Gong Jianming had many bad ideas.

Over the years, his people have been secretly investigating Gong Jianming's old background. This summer, he finally found evidence of Gong Jianming's embezzlement of public funds. Gong Jianming took advantage of his position to embezzle a lot of money, a large part of which was Hand it over to the second child, otherwise, the second child would not have the money to open up contacts.

Rufeng thought: "My lord, in July, the Shuangjiang River broke its embankment. A large part of the reason was that there was a problem with the river dam. This is the result of cutting corners. We only need to keep the materials that Gong Jianming hid in the supply account book. Hand it in, when the time comes, Gong Jianming won’t be able to clean himself up even if he jumps into the Shuangjiang River.”

Nangong Ruize smiled indifferently: "This task still needs to be completed by the third child. You have all forgotten one thing. Gong Jianming came from a poor family, and his annual salary is not much, but he has a lot of money in Liangdu." In addition, he has opened several shops in the name of his wife to collect money everywhere, if he didn't have the support of his second child, how dare he do that."

"My lord is still considerate." Steward Zheng and Ru Feng both nodded with a smile, they were indeed not as careful as their master.

Nangong Ruize smiled again: "You disclose the news of Gong Jianming's privately built luxury house to the third child. I believe the smart third child will know how to do it."

Rufeng and Butler Zheng replied in unison: "No!"

When they were about to leave the study, Nangong Ruize ordered again: "Rufeng, ask the hidden guards to protect Xuanxuan. This king has a hunch that those people will attack Xuanxuan."

Rufeng cupped his hands and bowed: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates have already arranged for people to hide around the Lu residence, as long as someone approaches Lanyue Tower, our people will know.

As soon as the words were finished, Steward Zheng smiled slightly: "My lord, if there is no other order, then I will take my leave first."

"Go!" Nangong Ruize waved his hands, letting Rufeng and Butler Zheng exit the room.

In the front hall of Ganquan Palace, Concubine Shen was leaning against the emperor. She fed the grapes into the emperor's mouth with a smile: "Your Majesty, the second and third children are not young anymore. I think they should be allowed to live alone."

Concubine Shen was very eloquent in her words, she didn't directly say: let the emperor make the second and third children kings, but changed to a more tactful way.

The emperor is a smart person, and he also understands the implication of Concubine Shen Gui. Under normal circumstances, if the prince wants to live alone, he has to open a mansion outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand the concubine. The concubine is also thinking about the second and third children. After all, they are all grown up and need to be independent."

"What Concubine Ai said is very true. They should also learn to be independent. Let me think about this matter." After a while, the emperor replied to Concubine Shen.

When Concubine Shen heard the hope, the smile on her face became even brighter: "The concubine thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the second and third."

The emperor remembered that every Mid-Autumn Festival would give moon cakes to the ministers, so he carefully told: "My dear concubine, there are only three days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should pay close attention to the people in the imperial dining room, and let them prepare the moon cakes. Fortunately, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Give it to the ministers as a token of appreciation."
