Logically speaking, there must be something very important for him to be visiting late at night. It wouldn't matter even if he waited for a while!

"This Third Young Miss is really strange!"

The beautiful scenery felt a little cold and quickly entered the house!

Nangong Xiu's horse had just stopped at the entrance of the crown prince's residence when he saw a burly man standing at the entrance.

"Royal Uncle? Didn't you just go back to your residence to rest? "

When Nangong Xiu saw that it was Prince Cheng, he quickly dismounted. The servant came and took his horse to the stable.

Prince Cheng said, "I've come specifically to look for you. And you weren't there, so I waited for you at the door. "

Nangong Xiu frowned and said coldly, "These rude servants! He is getting more and more lost. In such a cold weather, the prince is actually waiting for him at the door! This King will teach them a lesson in a moment! "

Prince Cheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that! You don't have to blame them! I insisted on waiting for you here! I know that even if you go out, you'll be back soon! I came to find you and left after just a few words! Therefore, there's no need to go in! "

Nangong Xiu said, "Royal Uncle, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Prince Cheng said, "What are your plans for tomorrow's matters?"

Nangong Xiu said, "What's the matter tomorrow?"

Prince Cheng asked, "Tonight, Young Master Shen Suiyun and the rest are causing a huge ruckus in the crown prince's residence, robbing away the divine beasts … You're not going to just let it go like this, are you? "

Nangong Xiu said, "Since my skills are inferior, I will agree to let them go! And I personally promised to give them one day! There will be no action within a day. From tonight onwards, it should at least be tomorrow night! "

Prince Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The other side didn't even try to cover it up and even blew up their own home. It is not wrong of you to be honest with others like this! And after tomorrow night? What are you going to do? "

Nangong Xiu said, "I plan to go to the Fragrant Sky restaurant tomorrow night to check on the situation! And then, I will make plans for a step further! "

Prince Cheng said, "Do you really think that there's a need to take the risk yourself? "His martial arts are unfathomable, and his identity is mysterious!"

Nangong Xiu said, "Other than resolving this matter, I also want to seek confirmation on another matter!"

Prince Cheng asked, "What is it?"

Nangong Xiu said, "It's only a private matter! There was no conflict between the two matters! Just like what Imperial Uncle said, the other party's identity was mysterious, so it was better to investigate first! "It is not a good idea to be impulsive."

Prince Cheng said, "That's good too! But you can't go alone! "Why?"

Nangong Xiu said, "Imperial Uncle means …?"

"The fierce beasts were taken away by someone from your crown prince's residence. Furthermore, everyone witnessed you letting away a few bandits in the middle of the night. Now, this has created a subtle situation! If you handle it well, this matter will greatly increase your prestige as the crown prince! However, if you don't deal with it well, you, as the newly appointed crown prince, will become the laughingstock of the masses! Therefore, you have to be careful with every step you take. Everyone's words are fearsome! "

Nangong Xiu was moved and said, "Royal Uncle!" That's why you waited for me in the middle of the night for me to come back? "

Prince Cheng said, "You don't have to thank me. I am not being nice to you, I am being responsible for this country. I am being responsible for the name Nangong on my head! Of all the princes, you are the most suitable to inherit the throne. I am only accepting the entrustment from royal uncle to help you in any way I can. "

Nangong Xiu knew that he was a person who did not like doing meritorious deeds. He did not pursue the matter further and said, "Anyways, thank you uncle Huang! Let's go back to tomorrow night. Uncle Huang was right about that, and I had the same thought myself. "Therefore, I plan to invite a few people to go to the Fragrant Sky Tower tomorrow night!"

Prince Cheng said, "This method is quite good! "Then who are you going to call?"

Nangong Xiu said, "All the murder cases in the capital will be handled by the Ministry of Justice. Coincidentally, Master Song from the Ministry of Justice is familiar with me, so we are heading there together. But if the Master of the Board of Justice and I are familiar with each other, I'm afraid we will be criticized and suspected of favoritism. "

Prince Cheng said, "Your considerations are quite thorough! This King will go with you tomorrow night! "

Nangong Xiu said, "That's for the best! With the help of the impartial Prince Cheng, no matter how this matter is handled, no one will dare to object! "

Prince Cheng said, "I have quite a good relationship with Lord Huang, the governor of the capital. This matter is within his jurisdiction, so it makes sense for him to step in! Then it was decided! "With you as the leader, the Crown Prince, along with this king, the President of the Ministry of Justice and Lord Jing Zhaoyin, no matter what happens in the end, no one will question you."

Nangong Xiu said with gratitude, "Thank you, Royal Uncle! Nangong Xiu will never forget it! "

Prince Cheng said, "You don't have to thank me. You just need to be a competent crown prince, and later be a good emperor who loves his people like children! Alright, it's late now. This King won't disturb your rest anymore. This King will be going back first! "

Nangong Xiu said, "Let me send someone to escort uncle Huang!"

Prince Cheng said, "No need. This King has ridden a horse! "

With that, Prince Cheng left with big strides!

Nangong Xiu was actually somewhat disappointed! He had his own plans for tomorrow night!

That Young Master Wang … He kept feeling a sense of familiarity, a special feeling in his heart!

Moreover, he was almost certain that Young Master Wang had a deep relationship with him, but he just couldn't figure out what kind of relationship it was!

If there were too many people involved in this matter, it would be difficult for him to handle his own private matters!

The matter of the divine beast had to be handled seriously! If he didn't deal with it well, not only would the Crown Prince lose his face and lose his trust in the world, he would also cause panic and fear among the people in the capital!

Moreover, if they didn't catch that crazy beast in time, more people would have lost their lives!

Nangong Xiu knew that he had a heavy burden on his …

However, he suddenly felt that the Crown Prince was not that easy to be!

Since he had become the crown prince, it was no longer his personal business! He had to live up to his title of Crown Prince. He couldn't let his father, Prince Cheng, or Xiao Fei disappoint everyone who supported him, much less the people of the world!

"Forget it." Let's talk about it tomorrow night. I just need to find a chance to get to know each other, and have a rough understanding of the situation. "

Nangong Xiu could not refuse Prince Cheng's concern. Now that he had reached this step, he could only do whatever he wanted!

As Nangong Xiu walked into the Crown Prince's Palace, he immediately called for Butler Jian and gave three orders in a row!

First! Immediately, he transferred out thirty thousand taels of silver from the account office!

Second! Immediately choose twenty of the most loyal and capable maids to serve!

Third! Recruit a group of craftsmen and carpenters with the best skills!

The three of them immediately expressed how anxious Nangong Xiu was!

Housekeeper Jian felt it was strange. He had followed the prince for so many years, but he had never seen him so anxious about a matter. At the very least, he had to show such an anxious expression! In his mind, Nangong Xiu was an iceberg! In the depths of the ice mountain, there was a terrifying Fire Elemental!

No matter what happened, even if it was a big matter, Nangong Xiu had a cold and indifferent expression!

He almost never worried or worried about anything!

Housekeeper Jian curiously asked: "My lord!" I wonder what use do you have for these? "

Nangong Xiuhu stared at him, "Don't tell me that when I do things, I need your permission?"

Steward Jane quickly said, "Prince, please calm your anger! Prince, please calm your anger! This is not what I meant! However, the account office needed to transfer 30,000 silver right away, and it was going to be difficult! His Highness had become the crown prince, and the emperor had allocated fifty thousand silver taels to the internal department to repair the crown prince's mansion. Since the princess had sold most of her property to provide relief services, she was running out of money! So, I want to understand the uses of the prince, and then, taking into consideration the urgency of the matter, worry about it so as not to delay the prince's plans! "

Nangong Xiu said, "It's not a big deal! If it was going to be difficult, there was no need to be too anxious about the money! He can raise thirty thousand in a few days? "

Housekeeper Jane said: "About four or five days! Most of the silver from the Internal Affairs Bureau could not be moved. That was because the Prince needed to pay for the repairs, but since the Prince had urgent needs, it would not be a problem to divert a small portion of the silver. In addition, in the last few days, countless guests had delivered gifts congratulating the Crown Prince's inauguration. Just from yesterday's wedding, the value of the gifts received by the Prince's Mansion was estimated to be two hundred thousand silver taels! However, most of them were rare treasures, and most of them were gifts from others. It was not easy to sell them. Therefore, it's not easy to raise thirty thousand silver in cash. "

Nangong Xiu was shocked, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Steward Jane said, "Yes! This was only a conservative estimate! In addition, there were a few guests' gifts. Due to the fact that they were too precious and the other party's identity was not too clear, this little one did not dare accept the gifts and politely declined. I am afraid that the money of unknown origin will bring you unnecessary trouble! Only the civil and military officials and the capital's wealthy merchants gave me a congratulatory gift, which I then called for the servants to accept. Most of these gifts were very precious, but the other party was someone of status and prestige. The purpose of the gifts was merely to curry favor with and congratulate him. But all the guests and gifts have been listed in detail and have been sent to the table in the prince's study.

Housekeeper Jian's strict manner of handling matters was what Nangong Xiu admired the most!

Although he was only a steward of the estate, he had a good amount of foresight and was very reliable. He would not try to do things that were too greedy for his money like Nangong Xiu.

Thus, Nangong Xiu had endured his nagging and allowed him to continue working in the Prince's Mansion for so many years.

After hearing the butler's report, Nangong Xiu carefully considered what to do. She felt that his actions were very appropriate and that there was nothing wrong with it.

He had known that the guests would give him gifts, but he never expected that the gifts would be so heavy! He had held a beast viewing meeting in one night, and the congratulatory gift he received was exactly ten times his previous salary as a prince!

No wonder everyone wanted to be Crown Prince! In order to become the crown prince, brothers could kill each other!

Nangong Xiu carefully checked some financial figures with Steward Jane and realized that after the inauguration of the crown prince, the total value of the gifts he had received had exceeded 500,000 taels of silver!
