Qiming knelt on the ground, his face full of fear and anxiety: "Your Highness, I have been in business, running Yibaoxuan for the Li family and His Royal Highness King Ling, but some time ago, because of my poor handling of things, the prince was dissatisfied. After that, the prince He even suspected that I had a different heart, controlled my family, and even killed my wife. For the sake of my only child, I had to resist."

"Unfavorable in doing things? What do you mean?" Jin Wang examined Qi Ming, thinking about the truth of his words sentence by sentence.

"Before... before in Linjiang City, His Royal Highness King Ling asked me to intercept the ship carrying tax money. I failed to stop it, and then asked me to look for the tax money that sank to the bottom of the river, because of King Yu and King Yue. , I didn't find it either, so the prince was completely disappointed in me."

King Jin fumbled to hold the teacup in his hand, bowed his head and took a sip gently, with a gentle smile on his lips: "You go, I'm already a useless person now, it's not worth the trouble of my brother .”

Qi Ming quickly knelt down and kowtowed, with a sad expression on his face: "Third Highness, if I step out of the house with my front foot, I will be beheaded in the street with my back foot. Please don't drive me away, please save this slave. The slave is really desperate. It wasn't the manpower that King Ling deliberately placed, your Highness, please learn from me."

"There is no evidence for what you say, what evidence do you have?"

"Your Highness, as a servant, I have limited access to things. It is too confidential for me to know, but I know a big secret. If Your Highness is willing to take me in and save my child, The servant is willing to tell His Highness the news."

"It's not difficult to take you in as a servant, but how can I be sure that your news is true or false?"

Qi Ming's expression is very serious, he doesn't seem to be cheating after several observations, if it were before, he might not have such serious suspicions, but now the timing is too special, there is nothing in him worth relying on , Even the officials who supported her in the past were unwilling to pay attention to him anymore, so they had to join her and had to make him suspicious.

Qi Ming's face was full of anxiety, even though it was already winter, the sweat on his forehead was still dripping down: "Your Highness, the third prince, the servant has no way to confirm the truth of the matter, so he can only tell the news, and let His Highness judge for himself: The Li family has secretly communicated with Beijiang, and the relationship is very close."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kept silent, silently waiting for the third prince's verdict.

The teacup in the hands of the third prince trembled suddenly, and the tea spilled onto his clothes, but he was undecided: "You mean the Li family and Beijiang?"

"Yes."

The eyes of the third prince hidden behind the white gauze trembled violently, and after a long while he finally spoke again: "This king has no power or influence, and is even confined in the mansion and cannot move around at will. Wouldn't it be better for you to tell King Yu the news?" ?”

"Slave... I have been to Prince Yu's mansion secretly, but before I got to the gate of the mansion, I saw the people of His Highness King Ling. Now the two princes are fighting fiercely with each other. I keep all the dishes in my heart, and the slaves have limited abilities, so there is no way to get close to King Yu."

He said such words, but the doubts in the third prince's heart were relieved. After thinking for a while, he said: "You go down first, this king will arrange for you to stay temporarily."

There was a burst of ecstasy on Qi Ming's face, and then a little more worry: "Your Highness, the child of the slave..."

"Don't worry, I will ask someone to rescue him as soon as possible, and then temporarily arrange to live in another place."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

When the same name receded, the third prince's personal guard stepped forward: "Your Highness, do you believe the words of the same name?"

The third prince tore off the gauze on his face, and then looked down at the tea stains on his body: "The Li family and Beijiang... this matter is too important to be said casually, and that famous expression It doesn't seem to be a lie, many of the things he said are also well-founded, the most important thing is the account book he sent, many of the current accounts in that book are not correct at all, the Li family seems to be using Yi Baoxuan to plan something secretly, if he If the words are true, then the eldest brother is looking for a dead end!"

"Yeah, Beijiang has been eyeing it all these years, and having contacts with Beijiang is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

The third prince put down the teacup, and lightly thumped his legs: "How is the preparation of the medicinal materials ordered by Miracle Doctor Gu?" His eyes were already healed, and now he desperately hoped that his legs would stand up soon.

"Most of them have been found, and the last two are left."

"Well, have you arranged everything I asked you to arrange?"

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

"Okay, if everything goes well tomorrow, my father should lift my confinement, and even re-designate me as the king, but this is not enough. If it is really confirmed that Beijiang and the Li family are involved, with this credit, I will There is an opportunity to rise again." He hoped that Qi Ming's words were true, because he needed a huge contribution to make up for his previous mistakes.

The personal guard changed the teacup again and came over: "Your Highness, can I help you change your clothes?"

"No need."

"Your Highness, King Yue and Princess Wen Xian's wedding is approaching, and my subordinates have already prepared some congratulatory gifts. Do you have any additional orders, Master?"

The third prince frowned suddenly, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes very quickly: "No, you go down."

"Yes."

When the guards retreated, the third prince grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, his teeth clenched and his eyes extremely gloomy.

In the early morning of the next day, some officials reported earlier that the plum groves planted in the Third Prince's mansion bloomed overnight, the frozen lake water also began to melt, and even lotus leaves and flowers emerged.

The emperor and the officials in the court expressed their disbelief one after another, and ordered the guards to check it out. No, the guards went to investigate and were surprised to report that everything was true, which immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Some officials said that there are precedents for plum blossoms to bloom early, but the frozen lake melted and lotus leaves and flowers grew.

Some officials said that the early blooming of flowers is a good omen, and the lotus has always been out of silt but not stained, and it is known as high-quality and high-quality. Now it grows early, it must be inspired, and I hope the emperor will three Prince Xuan came to ask for clarification.

After thinking for a while, the emperor decided to go to check it out in person, but the officials couldn't stop them, so they had to go together.

Princess Yide also received a message: "Yao'er, the emperor asked us to see the scene of lotus blooming in winter, do you want to go and see together?"

Mu Yunyao had a smile in her eyes: "Okay, such a spectacle is indeed worth seeing, but it's a pity that mother has caught the wind and cold, so she can't go out during this time."

"Let her rest and rest more. Besides, if you want to appreciate the lotus, you should choose summer. The lotus that is blooming now is too ingenious and has lost its aura. It's worth not to look at it." Princess Yide chuckled lightly, with a mixed look on her face. With a trace of indifference that is clear in the heart.

Too ingenious? That's totally man-made! The third prince really has a way, and even thought of such a method as a strange omen from the sky.
