Because Lin Si entered the palace today, Jiang Teng finally had time to deal with the official business accumulated in the past few days. At noon, he went into the palace to report in the sun.

When entering the palace, Jiang Teng deliberately slowed down a little, but he couldn't meet Lin Si who came out of the palace, so he had to get rid of the messy ideas in his head and rush to the imperial study.

When he was still some distance away from the imperial study, Jiang Teng saw a man kneeling at the door. He didn't know which unfortunate minister he was.

But as the distance drew closer, the figure of the man became clearer and clearer, and Jiang Teng was more and more frightened. The man was dressed in bright yellow Python clothes, but he didn't think about it except the prince. However, he knelt on the ground wet all over, and even had a few water plants on his hair, as if he had just been fished out of the pond. The clothes are still dripping, and a pool of water stains has accumulated around them. Even kneeling under the big sun at noon, they were shivering.

The prince lowered his head. Jiang Teng couldn't see his expression, but when he passed by, he saw his pale lips, which indicated that the prince's physical condition was not very good.

The only person who can punish the prince like this is the emperor.

Jiang Teng knew that this was not his business, so he just took a quick look and left.

"Father in law, please pass it on..." Jiang Teng is reporting his family, but the eunuch at the door has interrupted him, "this adult, please go back. The emperor is not in the imperial study. And the emperor is not in a good mood today. No one will see him. "

Jiang Teng was stunned and subconsciously looked at the prince kneeling. He skillfully put a bag of silver in the eunuch's hand and said with a smile, "this is really urgent for me. Can my father-in-law tell me when the emperor will come back?"

The eunuch bumped the weight of his hand, and with a smile on his face, motioned to the prince with his eyes. No matter how much money Chiang Teng Sai had, he would not say more.

It seems that the prince has really made a big mistake.

Jiang Teng held the fold in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to touch the emperor's misfortune. He was lifting his feet to leave when the door of the imperial study just opened in front of him.

"Lord Xie?"

Xie Qian waved to Jiang Teng, and the guard's father-in-law did not stop him. Jiang Teng entered the imperial study for no reason.

"The prince is in trouble." Xie Qian comes to the point.

Jiang Teng told himself that the next words were not what he should listen to, but he wanted to let him know what happened to his rival. In a moment of hesitation, Xie Qian told him the whole story.

"The prince and the princess had a dispute in the royal garden. The princess fell into the water and the prince rescued her."

"Then why is the prince punished?" Jiang Teng asked subconsciously.

"Because when the crown prince rescued people, the princess was almost out of breath. The prince watched the princess struggle for a while on the bank, and then went into the water to save people

"It's not necessarily about the prince."

Jiang Teng subconsciously speculated, "it may be that the princess is too flustered and choked in the water. It is also possible that the prince made a mistake when saving people. It is not necessarily the prince who stands by."

Xie Qian did not speak, just looked at the eloquent analysis of Jiang Teng.

Jiang Teng also realized that he had said too much and stopped talking.

"I thought you were going to hit the crown prince. After all, your relationship is not very good." Xie Qian said.

Knowing that Xie Qian was referring to Lin Si, Jiang Teng laughed awkwardly, "the most important thing for us to be salt officials is the separation of public and private. I'm a private matter with the prince. The safety of the prince is related to the foundation of the country. It's a business. I can tell such a simple thing clearly. "

Xie Qian nodded his head and said, "why do you conclude that the prince will not help you in the face of death? Because that is what the prince himself said. Without a witness around, the prince himself told the truth that was most unfavorable to him

Jiang Teng looked up at Xie Qian in surprise.

"All I told you was said by the prince himself kneeling in front of the emperor. Then the emperor was very angry and hurried to the palace of imperial concubine Xu. The prince knelt at the door of the imperial study for an hour

"Didn't expect it?" Xie Qian suddenly laughed at Jiang Teng, who was surprised. "At the beginning, I couldn't believe it. After all, the prince was so paranoid and violent that I would not be surprised if he let the princess drown. But he did what I thought was the most impossible thing. So I've known people and broken things for so many years, but I still have time to look away. "

"What did the emperor say?" Jiang Teng's voice is a little dry.

"Princess Xu is the admiration of the prince and the real mother of the princess. They are different from each other, and the prince has made a mistake. Naturally, the emperor will give Xu Guifei an account. "

"The prince is the only prince."

Jiang Teng suddenly realized what Xie Qian was going to say and burst out a cold sweat behind him.

"Yes, the prince is the only prince. Although bigoted and cruel, as long as you teach him well and let him control his inner tyranny, he must be a generation of Ming Jun Xie Qian said with a meaningful smile, "so the emperor needs a step, and now the Minister of the younger generation with the strongest momentum in the court is undoubtedly the best candidate.""Well, I agree." Jiang Teng followed.

This changed into Xie Qian surprised, "I thought you would think about it for a while."

"When Xie Taifu asked me to come in, he gave me only one way." Jiang Teng was helpless, "there are more substitutes for small people like us. I want to be an official, but if there is no background, it is better to seize this opportunity to fight. With the support of Xie Taifu, we may be able to get out of danger and have a smooth official career in the future. "

Xie Qian reexamined the young man, nodded and said, "you are a smart man."

"Smart people usually die early. I just want to be a qualified minister." Jiang Teng said with a smile.
