Once the Crown Prince Joins In

397: She Is Everywhere in the Text

The account books of Cangnan County Granary are full of loopholes and cannot withstand inspection at all. However, Cangnan County Magistrate has no intention of giving an explanation. He only wants to let Shang Junyan die in danger. The imperial envoys are all dead, so this matter will naturally happen. Let it go.

In other words, if the imperial court sends another imperial envoy, as long as it is not an inexperienced person like Shang Junyan, they can suppress the matter.

If the prince hadn't arrived quickly, Shang Junyan would have been in danger this time.

Shang Junyan lay on the bed with a white face, looking at His Highness the Crown Prince who was reading the case file. His Highness's expression was stern under the oil lamp, making him look very scary.

My throat felt a little itchy, and I couldn't help but cough lightly.

When Yan Junchu heard the voice, he immediately put down the file in his hand, stood up and walked to the bed. Looking at Shang Junyan who opened his eyes, he asked with concern: "Master Shang, what do you think?"

"Thank you for saving your life, Your Highness." Shang Junyan wanted to stand up and thank him, but before he could move, he was held down by the prince.

He looked up at His Highness and heard His Highness the Crown Prince say: "This time Lord Shang is in danger, I will definitely report back to Your Majesty truthfully. Don't worry, I will seek justice for you. Also, can you give me the account books of Cangnan County?" It’s a great achievement to have the real account in hand, now just rest and recover.”

If it weren't for these account books, Shang Junyan would not have almost lost his life.

Hearing this, Shang Junyan looked at the prince, as if the events of his previous life were reappearing in front of him in a daze.

He had also been injured while working for King Rong, and King Rong had also cared for him. Just by comparing it, you can see the difference. The care in the eyes of the prince was sincere, His Highness King Rong... At that time, King Rong's temperament was very different from this life. I sighed softly in my heart.

Maybe what Su Xinyi said is right. His Royal Highness is indeed a prince who is willing to follow.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Shang Junyan coughed slightly and spoke slowly. The wound on his abdomen was a bit deep. If he spoke harder, he could feel the stinging pain coming from him.

Yan Junchu originally planned to leave and study the account books carefully, maybe there would be unexpected discoveries. Now that he heard Shang Junyan had something to say, he simply sat on the stool beside the bed and said with a smile: "Master Shang, don't be anxious, please speak slowly." , just listen."

Shang Junyan put away his complicated thoughts, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and said seriously: "The minister discovered that Zeng Gaolin, the magistrate of Cangnan County, had a correspondence with the commander of the Fengping Guards, but it was a pity that he was discovered before he could get it in time. In a hurry, I could only leave with the account book.”

Yan Junchu looked stern, "Seriously?"

"Weichen will not be mistaken."

What Shang Junyan didn't say was that in his previous life, he had interacted with Lu Minglin, the commander of the Fengping Guards. He couldn't be said to be very familiar with them, but he knew them somewhat, so he recognized his handwriting immediately.

However, he did not know that Lu Minglin had any contact with Zeng Gaolin in his previous life, and he remembered clearly that when he once again mentioned to Lu Minglin the problem of the people of Cangnan County having a hard time, Lu Minglin seemed to not know Zeng Gaolin.

Thinking of this, Shang Junyan knew that things were more complicated than he expected, and some things could no longer be hidden. However, he could not tell His Highness that this was a clue he had found in his previous life, so he could only speak slowly after thinking about it.

"I have inquired about Lu Minglin. He has a good official reputation in Fengpingwei. He rarely disturbs the people under the guard, so he has always been excellent in the official evaluation. However, he is adjacent to Fengpingwei. Commander Ping Ning Wei’s reputation is greater than that of Jie Jinglue, so few people in the capital will mention this person.”

Yan Junchu listened to Shang Junyan's words and slowly said, "You mean Lu Minglin is hiding his clumsiness?"

Shang Junyan nodded slightly, "Wei Chen just guessed that there are very few officials who can manage the local area well and have a good reputation among the people who don't make a name for themselves. If he doesn't regard fame and wealth as nothing, he is plotting to change the world. big."

In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to his official reputation because he wholeheartedly wanted to help King Rong to the position of crown prince, so his official reputation was nothing compared to it.

To put it another way, if Lu Minglin is really related to the granary case and Zeng Gaolin has the support of Prince Yi, does that mean that Lu Minglin has also taken refuge with Prince Yi?

If he wants to support King Yi, then he will be very similar to himself in his previous life.

Once you find common ground, a lot of things become clear.

Yan Junchu looked solemn, "I know this, I will ask someone to investigate this matter. Lord Shang, take good care of your health first. The granary case cannot be separated from you. If you take good care of yourself, you must be reinstated as soon as possible."

Shang Junyan:......

The people he has been loyal to all his life are skin pickers.

Yan Junchu looked at Shang Junyan's expression, smiled softly, and then stood up and left.

The place where they temporarily settled was a small town outside Cangnan County. As soon as they left Shang Junyan's house, Yang Jin was waiting outside to greet him immediately, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess's letter has arrived."

Yan Junchu's eyes lit up, and he took it from Yang Jin and strode towards his house. As he walked, he asked, "Besides the letter, is there any other news?"

Yang Jin lowered his head and talked about the recent events in Beijing, "That's all there is to say from Zhang Jian. The matter with Zeng Liang, Mr. Su Er, has finished. Zhang Jian doesn't know what the Crown Princess will do next. However, the Crown Princess has had a lot of contact with Princess Rong recently.”

Yan Junchu asked again: "Where is the palace?"

"The Empress asked the Crown Princess to stay in the East Palace to recuperate. She didn't have to go to Yuanhui Palace to pay her respects if she had nothing to do. However, Concubine Li's side had several confrontations with the Empress because of Prince Xiang's wedding..."

"Huang Zhongsheng sent a message that Concubine Li had given instructions on many things in the inner court, many of which were against the palace rules. He handed over some things that were difficult to handle to His Royal Highness Prince Rong, but now His Royal Highness Prince Rong is rushing here, so Huang Zhongsheng has to confront Concubine Li directly and ask His Royal Highness's opinion."

"There are many details about the engagement between Princess Runyi and Mr. Jiang. Zhang Jian said that the Crown Princess is investigating the matter, and the marriage between the two families will not be successful, but I don't know what they have investigated so far."

Yang Jin reported the news he had received one by one, and looked at Seeing that His Royal Highness's expression was not very good, he finally said, "Your Highness, you have been traveling or dealing with local officials these days, and you have to secretly investigate the affairs of Suizhou. Even if you are in a hurry to return to the capital, you must take care of your health."

Yan Junchu waved his hand, "You should also go to rest. Ask someone to take good care of Shang Junyan. Maybe it will be uneasy tonight."

Zeng Gaolin must be thinking about snatching the account book back, but he doesn't know that Shang Junyan has been received here. If Zeng Gaolin really makes a move at night, Yang Jin must prepare in advance.

"Your Highness, don't worry. If he dares to come, I will make him come but never come back." Yang Jin has been very depressed recently.

Yan Junchu didn't say anything else and walked into the house. He sat under the lamp, calmed down, and then opened Xinyi's letter.

You can feel the thickness of the letter by touching it. When he opened it, he saw that there were more than a dozen pages. He was stunned at first, and then he read it carefully under the light.

Xinyi's letter was more detailed than Yang Jin's. After he finished reading it, his face became heavy and he felt the paper in his hand was heavy.

Prince Yi...

If these things are really related to him as Xinyi guessed, then he should be more cautious about the granary this time.

At the beginning, Fuyun sent people to check, and Xinyi also checked, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

If it is said that Prince Yi's biological mother was born in Ding'an Guard, and a nun Minghui covered for him, then the only explanation for Fuyun's failure to find any problems is that Fuyun has no problems, so he can't find out.

It is because everything is true that there is nowhere to check.

However, Xinyi has a guess that is the same as what he thought, that is, Fuyun should be a chess piece that Prince Yi's biological mother laid out a long time ago, a chess piece that gradually grew up, everything is true, what can be found?

It is right to find nothing.

At first, Xinyi told her that Fuyun's behavior after arriving in the capital was not like that of a fishing girl, so she was suspicious and checked several times, but found nothing unusual.

If Fuyun was Prince Yi's man, and had spent a lot of effort and even planned an accident to be placed next to Prince Xiang, then Xinyi's guess should be correct.

Prince Yi first wanted to support Prince Xiang to seize the throne, and in the end the sword was pointed at him.

Yan Junchu sneered.

"Pang Lan."

"I'm here."

Pang Lan pushed the door open and came in. The caravan had not been ordered to leave the capital, and this time Pang Lan went south to chase after the prince.

"Your Highness, what do you want?" Pang Lan stepped forward and saluted and asked.

Yan Junchu lowered his eyes slightly and said, "You take people to Suizhou immediately and take the family of Yan Ling, the legitimate son of the old King Yi, away overnight."

"Yes." Pang Lan immediately agreed, "Your Highness, where are you taking them?"

"Take them back to the capital and hand them over to the Crown Princess. They must not be discovered by anyone."

"Yes."

"Go, be quick, and don't alarm anyone." Yan Junchu took out his jade token, "Tell Yan Ling that if he wants to get justice for himself, he must make a choice."

Pang Lan took the jade token respectfully, "Yes, I will definitely take people away."

After Pang Lan left, Yan Junchu began to spread paper and grind ink to write a reply to Xinyi. He held the pen in his hand and didn't know where to start for a while.

She was pregnant, and he should have been with her. As a result, he was far away from the capital, and she had to worry about these things.

Yan Junchu felt that the pen in his hand was heavy. She had no complaints at all. The words between the lines were full of worries for him, which made him feel sweet and warm in his heart. He wished he could grow wings and fly back immediately.

My wife Ayuan, Zhan Xin is well...

Yan Junchu never thought that he was a sentimental person. He was raised as a crown prince since he was a child. In his life, the country was more important than anything else. His father's earnest expectations and the concubines each had a son who wanted to replace him. He knew that he had to be good enough, but not so good that his father would be afraid of him, and he couldn't be so incompetent that he would disappoint the court officials...

That day, he met Ayuan for the first time in the hunting ground. The girl who had just returned to Beijing from the countryside did not hesitate to protect him against Prince Rong. That was the first time he could feel great kindness from a stranger.

Thinking of Prince Rong, Yan Junchu's expression eased. Originally, their relationship as brothers was not good. With the queen, he had been pushing Prince Rong to compete with him. He knew it well.

Who would have thought that after Xinyi appeared, she would lead Prince Rong astray.

His life has been different since he met her.

In her eyes, he is the best and most perfect. She promotes him as the prince everywhere, sincerely, and that sincerity is too much for even his thick skin to bear.

When he visited the temple fair in Jing'an Prefecture, he realized that he treated her differently.

She was like a small stove, making him want to get closer and absorb the pure warmth.

Over time, he realized that this involuntary feeling was because his heart made a choice one step earlier than his reason.

Involuntary means that he can't suppress his joy.

She was the one who started writing and the one who finished writing. She was the one who wrote everything.

Yan Junchu looked at his letter and sighed. He couldn't send it back.

But he couldn't bear to destroy it. After hesitating for a long time, he put it away.

He would only read it to himself in the future.

Yan Junchu held his forehead and started writing again... Halfway through, he felt that the letter was too bland and couldn't write anymore. He sighed and put the last letter on the candle to ignite it. It turned into white ash and fell to the ground in an instant.

He took out the letter he had put away again. This time he didn't even read it and stuffed it directly into the envelope. After sealing it with wax, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This night was indeed not peaceful. It became lively in the second half of the night.

At the same time, King Rong was about to arrive at Fafengpingwei after traveling day and night. Sitting under the night, he took out a cowhide water bag and drank some water. He had been in the capital for so long and was suddenly not used to being free again.

Riding overnight, or changing to another car to hurry on, the horse rested but the rider did not. Prince Rong felt lucky that he had returned to the capital and did not slack off in the martial arts arena, otherwise he would not be able to sit steadily on the horse now.

Sheng Siming came over with a cake baked on the fire, "Prince, have something to eat."

Prince Rong was really hungry, so he reached out and grabbed one and took a bite, "Bring your cake and eat it, I have something to ask you."

Sheng Siming nodded hurriedly, turned around and brought two big cakes over. As someone who had followed the prince on the battlefield several times, he was not restrained, took a bite, swallowed it with saliva, and then said, "Prince, do you want to ask about Su Shizi?"

Prince Rong nodded, "Any news?"

Prince Rong was doing business now, and his expression was much more serious than in the capital.

"Our scouts have gone ahead, but there is no news yet." Sheng Siming replied, "Your Highness, please take a rest first. You may get some news after you have rested."

Prince Rong said in a deep voice, "Jie Jinglue is missing. Are there any new clues?"

"No."

"When will the people who went to Pingningwei arrive?"

"The earliest will be tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow if there is any news."

Prince Rong frowned, "No new news from big brother?"

Sheng Siming shook his head, "I haven't seen anyone around your Highness, and I guess your Highness and his party are not in this area."

Prince Rong's heart skipped a beat, "Where is Shang Junyan?"

"The imperial envoy took people to the south to check the accounts the day before yesterday. According to the estimated distance, if he is not in Yuning, he will soon arrive in Cangnan."

"Send the order to rest on the spot and set off in three hours."

"Your Highness, where are we going next?"
