Chapter 125 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying flat
It has been raining in the capital for the past two days, and the rain in the cold winter has an extraordinarily chilly feel.
In the East Palace, the windows have been sealed and a charcoal fire was lit in the room. Only a small window was left open for ventilation to prevent the people in the house from being exposed to charcoal gas.
The prince held the hand stove and stared at Cao Yang: "Send a letter to Brother Rong and ask him to return to the capital as soon as possible. The New Year is coming soon. If the father knew that he was running errands for Gu and delayed the family banquet at the end of the year, He will definitely be blamed."
After saying that, he muttered again, "I don't know what he is doing in Jiangnan, why he hasn't come back for so long."
Cao Yang replied: "The Marquis only took two guards to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems that he has private matters to take care of."
After finishing the Jiangnan Road case, Cao Yang has now been promoted to the post of Zhan Shi of the East Palace, second only to the Chief Shi of the East Palace, and is now the most useful person in front of the prince.
Others were jealous of his promotion, but he himself did not think so.
Since capturing Duan Chuannan, everything he has done has been paperwork and has nothing to do with the investigation.
He originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and find the person behind Duan Chuannan, but the prince asked him to stop.
He knew that the prince's goal was to overthrow the second prince. Now that his goal was achieved, the prince did not want to move forward.
But for him, if he brought down the second prince, would the matter be over?Has the prince's crisis been completely resolved?
It's not like he hasn't told the prince these truths before, but... they're all useless.
Now, the second prince was imprisoned, and all the factions of the second prince in the court were silent. For the prince, he was completely overwhelmed by the appearance of support from everyone, and he was immersed in the dream of being a prince, unable to extricate himself.
At the moment, he is urging Mu Rong to return to Beijing because he is worried that his father will blame him, rather than because he has important matters to discuss with him.
Cao Yang had no choice but to write a letter according to the prince's instructions.
But selfishly, he also hoped that Weiyuan Hou could return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Cao Yang buried his head in his desk. There was a person drinking tea in the study. The prince glanced at him and said, "You are going back to Jiangnan Road tomorrow, right? I will tell you to go down and put some tea leaves for you."
"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince." Chang Jing put down the tea bowl and stood up to express his thanks.
"The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have a wide-reaching impact. If my father did not deal with it, it is already the result of Gu's hard work. After you return to Jiangnan, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Don't cause trouble to Gu again! If it weren't for Cao Yang and Cao Yang this time, If Brother Rong helps, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to return to Jiangnan completely!”
Chang Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "I will obey the prince's teachings. I will fulfill my duties in the future, try my best to restrain my subordinates, and never let this incident happen again!"
The prince nodded, listened to the sound of rain outside the door gradually subsided, and ordered: "This time you return to Jiangnan, you can only wait until the next duty report before returning to the capital. While the weather is fine now, you can go see the prince."
When Chang Jing heard this, there was a hint of excitement on his face, and he hurriedly thanked him: "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness!"
……
There is a flower hall between the inner courtyard and the front courtyard of the East Palace.
In the past, if something went wrong in the prince's front yard, the prince's concubine would help with it here.
Today, when she heard that the prince agreed to meet her mother-in-law, the princess was overjoyed and quickly asked her maid to help her dress and make up.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's friendship with his empress can only be seen from these little things..."
"Isn't that right? Mr. Chang will return to Jiangnan tomorrow, and His Highness even specially asked the Queen to meet him. He is really thinking about the Queen!"
"That's natural. Our queen is number one in the eyes and heart of the prince."
The Crown Princess looked at her bright and bright self in the mirror and listened to the discussion of the maids. A smile filled her cheeks: "You guys, you are just meeting your family. How can you exaggerate it? Two Bo is devoted to running errands for the prince, so it is natural for the prince to reward him."
After speaking, she slowly stood up.
The grandeur of the whole body is more grand than entering the palace to meet the emperor.
When she entered the flower hall, Chang Jing was already waiting there.
As soon as he saw the Crown Princess, he lifted his robe and knelt down: "I wish you all the best, Your Highness, the Crown Princess. May you be safe."
The Crown Princess smiled and waved her hand: "Master Chang, there is no need to be polite."
After speaking, she waved her hand to let the people in the flower hall retreat.
After everyone retreated, Chang Jing straightened up and looked at the Crown Princess with a smile but not a smile: "Your Majesty, you are doing well in the East Palace."
For some reason, the aura around him was completely different from just now. When he looked at the Crown Princess, all the respect and fear disappeared, replaced by intense scrutiny.
He walked to the chair on the side of the flower hall and sat down.
He pursed his lips towards the seat of honor and said, "Sit down."
In an instant, the princess was brought back to the time before she left the cabinet.
A hundred years ago, the Chang family could be considered a prominent family in Zhou Dynasty.But the next few generations were all inactive, and now, the whole family has to rely on Chang Jing of the second room.
The Crown Princess has known since she was a child that her second uncle is the master of the clan.
Even she, relying on the power of her second uncle, had just caught the eye of the prince.
Therefore, although she was at home in the East Palace, when she faced Chang Jing alone, she felt like she was back in her boudoir, obeying the advice of the elders in front of her.
Chang Jing asked her to sit down, but she subconsciously stood in front of him: "The second uncle will leave Beijing and return to Jiangnan tomorrow. I have ordered my servants to prepare snacks for the second uncle to eat on the way."
"Haha, the Crown Princess is interested." Chang Jing's laughter gave the Crown Princess a creepy feeling.
She whispered: "Second uncle is the elder, this is what I should do."
"Instead of carefully preparing these meals, you might as well spend more time on the prince. I have been operating in Jiangnan for several years, and now I am just a small deposed envoy. I don't know if I can return to the capital in my lifetime and serve the Chang family in the capital. Fight for a reputation."
Hearing this, the Crown Princess raised her head and said, "His Royal Highness was planning to recommend you to His Majesty this year, but unfortunately there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard Chang Jing cough slightly, so she quickly fell silent.
Chang Jing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "There are so many people planted by the second prince in my territory, but the prince doesn't even know...He still needs more people to help him."
The Crown Princess was dissatisfied: Your own territory has been invaded by others, how can you blame the Crown Prince?
But not only did she not dare to show the slightest bit on her face, she instead tried her best to smile: "What the second uncle said is that His Highness the Crown Prince was negligent in this matter, and he almost put the Second Uncle in danger. Fortunately, His Highness tried his best to find Wei. Marquis Yuan made the remedy in time, so it didn't lead to a catastrophe! In the future, I will definitely advise His Highness the Crown Prince to be wary of the unruly people around him."
After speaking, she quickly complimented: "Now that the second prince has declined, the situation in the palace has changed a lot. With the second uncle's current political achievements, it will not be long before he will have the opportunity to be promoted."
Chang Jing nodded: "I hope the Crown Princess will keep it in mind."
