CH 106

Yan Jingze went to the prison to see Cai Tinghe, and at the same time replaced the people around Cai Tinghe with trustworthy people, and also improved Cai Tinghe’s treatment.

Cai Tinghe, who has been in prison, did not know about his uncle’s ‘framing’ Cai Tinghe.

As the crown prince’s uncle, Cai Tinghe also trusts Yan Jingze very much, and even thinks that Yan Jingze came because the crown prince wants to save him.

He naturally knows everything about Yan Jingze, so he also says everything.

Cai Tinghe has been in a high position for many years, so it’s naturally impossible for him to be clean, but he also did not do anything that angered others.

Yan Jingze met Cai Tinghe, and then went to see his uncle without stopping, and had a long talk.

His uncle didn’t deliberately frame Cai Tinghe, he really found the evidence…After Yan Jingze asked him about the situation, he turned around and arrested dozens of people related to the case, then interrogated them separately one by one.

Cai Tinghe’s withholding of military pay, causing soldiers in the army to starve and freeze, and even some people to die because of this, is now quite a big issue.

Some people said with certainty that Cai Tinghe withheld the military salary to attract courtiers for the crown prince!

These are all heartbreaking words, at the beginning, Emperor Chengde actually believed it, and was extremely disappointed with the crown prince for a time.

Later, it was discovered that the original owner was involved in this matter, and the object of his disappointment became the original owner.

However, no matter what, Emperor Chengde wanted to suppress this matter wholeheartedly.

But there are some things, the more one wants to press down, the more people will speculate.

But now, Yan Jingze directly made the matter a big deal, and insisted on investigating it.

By the time Emperor Chengde got the news, the matter had become very serious…Emperor Chengde had no choice but to ask his own people to cooperate with Yan Jingze, and even transfer the things he found out to Yan Jingze in private.

This case took half a month to handle.

Half a month later, Yan Jingze handed over all the things he found out to Emperor Chengde.

It was Cai Tinghe’s generals who withheld military pay.

Then…the second prince’s people had contact with these general, and these people planted the blame on Cai Tinghe.

Uncle Wang went to investigate and found evidence of Cai Tinghe’s embezzlement on paper, but when Emperor Chengde’s people came over…someone deliberately guided that person to find that Cai Tinghe was innocent.

In addition, the case is very chaotic. There were many rumors in the capital that it was related to another group of people.

All in all very messy.

In addition, Yan Jingze even found out some other things, which is really interesting.

Emperor Chengde’s face turned dark when he saw those things.

His sons are trying to trick each other!

No father wants to see this happen.

But at this time, Yan Jingze said: “Emperor father, when this incident first came out, third imperial brother showed various behaviors and took the lead in donating food and clothing. Those things are very suitable, it seems that he has been preparing them for a long time. ”

At the beginning when the third prince took the lead in donating things, Emperor Chengde even praised the third prince!

Yan Jingze was smiling when he said it, but Emperor Chengde turned dark when he heard his words: “Bastard!”

Yan Jingze grinned and ran away.

He has been busy for half a month this summer. He is exhausted, he wants to go back and rest!

Of course, being so busy has its benefits.

For half a month, he has been inseparable from Su Moxiu every day, and he has shown Su Moxiu all his skills.

He has great memory and can recite the laws of the country upside down.

He is so cautious that he can tell who is telling the truth and who is telling the lie.

His physical strength is not bad, he is also in good spirits after a non-stop busy day!

Su Moxiu must like him more now than before!

When Yan Jingze left the imperial study, he saw Su Moxiu waiting outside.

“Ziyan!” Yan Jingze greeted Su Moxiu with a smile.

Su Moxiu smiled unconsciously: “Your highness.”

“Ziyan, I’m finally done with my work, it’s still early…shall we go out to play?” Yan Jingze proposed.

Twenty days have passed since he fell in love with Su Moxiu.

For the past 20 days, they have met every day, but they have been very busy and have no chance to play together.

“Okay, where are we going?” Su Moxiu asked.

Yan Jingze was stumped by the question.

There are still many places to play, and the original owner also likes to go to places where scholars gather.

But it’s good to make friends in places like teahouses, but it’s not convenient for him to stay in a two-person world with Su Moxiu.

Yan Jingze said: “Where do you want to go? Let’s go where you want to go.”

Su Moxiu thought for a moment and said, “The lotus in Chunming Lake is blooming, shall we go enjoy the lotus?”

The place where men like them used to gather, even if it is not a romantic place, there will always be handsome servants or beautiful maids serving them, he doesn’t like it.

Su Moxiu thought about it and thought it would be good to go to appreciate the lotus.

In fact, they can also go mountain climbing, but it’s a bit far away, and one afternoon is not enough.

“Then go and admire the lotus!” Yan Jingze said, although he is not interested in seeing lotus, Su Moxiu wants to see it, so go!

After the two left the palace, they went to…eat first.

Food is the most important thing for the people, food is the most important thing in everything!

Yan Jingze has taken Su Moxiu these days to eat all the delicious food in the original owner’s memory. Su Moxiu seldom eats out, so he can’t give any recommendations, so now they just find random restaurants to eat.

If the taste is not good, they will just fill your stomach. If the taste is good, it’s a surprise, they can eat it again next time.

Generally speaking…the food in the big restaurants for the rich and influential is very good, while the food in the small restaurants is generally very mediocre.

Ordinary shops don’t buy all kinds of spices and seasonings, and even if they do, they don’t know how to use them.

The breakfast restaurant that Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu went to eat on the first day was considered the best among many small restaurants, but that was also because the owner was originally very rich and only started this business when he was down and out, so he knew a lot.

Today, the two of them ate a bowl of hand-rolled noodles. Although the noodles were strong, the toppings were ordinary.

But this is also why they are too picky.

After eating noodles, the two arrived at Chunming Lake.

Chunming Lake is surrounded by dignitaries, ordinary people will not come here, so there will be no people washing by the lake, and it won’t have any large number of ducks in the lake that spoil the scenery.

The lake here is clear. There are many reeds growing by the lake, and there are large green lotus leaves spreading out, among which, slim lotus flowers bloom in the wind.

Every morning or evening, there will be many people here, but it’s noon now.

The sun was high in the sky, people were roasted in the heat, so there were not many people admiring the lotus. Only a group of scholars occupied the pavilion by the river, reciting poems and painting.

When Su Moxiu got there, he felt a little regretful.

As long as he was with the fifth prince, he felt happy, but on such a hot day, the fifth prince might not want to come out to bask in the sun.

Looking at the handsome side face of the fifth prince, Su Moxiu was extremely worried, lest the fifth prince would be displeased and even dislike him.

For Su Moxiu, the life of the previous half month was like a dream.

He spends every day with the person he likes, and the person he likes treats him very tenderly.

If it was like this, it would be good for a long time.

But he knows it’s going to be hard.

The fifth prince…doesn’t need him at all.

Ever since he was a child, people have always praised him for his intelligence, but after getting along with the fifth prince for this half a month, he discovered that he shouldn’t be praised by others at all.

Compared with the fifth prince, he is simply stupid!

The fifth prince is not only talented, but also has first-class ability, which is rare in the world.

If he had the fifth prince’s ability, he would definitely not be satisfied with being an ordinary prince.

It’s just…the fifth prince is so powerful, he can’t help the fifth prince at all.

The fifth prince should also be clear on this.

Su Moxiu was very afraid that one day, the fifth prince would hate him.

But he also hoped that the fifth prince really liked him and didn’t care about his ability at all.

Yan Jingze didn’t know that Su Moxiu, who greeted him with a smile every day, was thinking so much!

Yan Jingze also felt a little sunburned, but he actually liked the sun quite a bit, he wanted to go for a swim in the river.

It’s just that he is a human being now, and his status is still very noble, so it’s not easy to go into the water casually.

However, he can rent a boat by the river. Yan Jingze looked at Su Moxiu: “Shall we rent a boat?”

“Okay.” Su Moxiu smiled.

The place where the boat is rented is next to the gazebo where the scholars gather.

After Yan Jingze got closer, he realized that these scholars were young, and some of them were still teenagers.

No, those young teenagers should not be scholars, but the people they hired to serve.

The original owner was jealous of such handsome teenagers, but Yan Jingze felt a little sympathetic to them, so he only took a few more glances.

Su Moxiu felt bitter, he couldn’t help asking: “Jingze likes that?”

Yan Jingze said without thinking, “I don’t like it.”

Su Moxiu kept staring at Yan Jingze. He could clearly see the disgust that flashed in Yan Jingze’s eyes when he answered.

He felt a ‘thump’ in his heart.

Yan Jingze had already rented a small boat with a canopy at this moment. He wanted to talk to Su Moxiu alone, so he didn’t let anyone follow them. He and Su Moxiu boarded the boat alone.

During this period, Su Moxiu kept looking at Yan Jingze, and found that Yan Jingze had never looked at those scholars again.

This person is really not interested in those handsome teenagers.

Should he be happy, or should he be depressed?

The fifth prince has already started rowing.

Apparently it was his first time rowing. At first the boat circled the shore, but after a few tries, he got the gist of it, and the boat slowly moved towards the middle of the lake.

Su Moxiu suddenly wanted to ask the fifth prince why he likes him.

Also…what are they going to do in the future?

That’s all for him, with the fifth prince’s status, he must marry a wife, how will he deal with him then?

Wait, he thinks too much, the fifth prince may not really like him.

Su Moxiu lowered his eyes to look at the fish in the lake.

Finger-thin small fish were swimming in groups in the lake. Su Moxiu stretched out his hand towards them, and they scattered and fled.

“Be careful, don’t fall into the lake.” Yan Jingze said.

Su Moxiu’s heart skipped a beat.

The lake wasn’t deep at all, it was even shallower now that it was summer, and they hadn’t reached the middle of the lake yet.

What’s more, he can swim.

Su Moxiu stood up, staggered, and fell into the lake.

Although Yan Jingze can row the boat, he is not very good at it. Now he is rowing this side and that side, so he is very busy.

Seeing Su Moxiu playing in the water, he reminded him casually, but as soon as he finished reminding, Su Moxiu fell into the water.

He chose a boat with a canopy, that is to say, the boat was quite big and it was very stable to stand on. In this case, why did Su Moxiu fall into the water?

Yan Jingze was dumbfounded, but still jumped into the river without thinking.

After jumping in, Yan Jingze suddenly realized…he can’t swim.

It should be said that the original owner couldn’t swim, and although he had swum before, it was always in an animal form, not with a human body!

However, he was not afraid of water, so he swam out indiscriminately.

Then he bumped into Su Moxiu.

Yan Jingze: “…”

Su Moxiu: “…”

The water here is not deep, Su Moxiu’s head was still out while standing at the bottom of the river.

He deliberately ‘falled’ into the water, it just he didn’t expect the gifth prince to jump down to save him. In fact, most people wouldn’t jump down to save him in the current situation—it was obviously more appropriate to sit on a boat and pull him up.

He went into the water, in fact, to get himself soaked, and then changed clothes on the boat or something…

Of course, now…

Su Moxiu had to admit that he felt his heart was hit hard.

Maybe the fifth prince suddenly showed his favor to him with the intention of taking advantage of him, but there must be true feelings in it too.

If not, how could the fifth prince accompany him every day? If not, how could the fifth prince jump down to save him without any hesitation?

Su Moxiu looked at Yan Jingze with a gaze that seemed to be shining.

Yan Jingze was a little embarrassed, but seeing Su Moxiu’s eyes…

His Axiu must be touched!

His jump was so worth it!

Yan Jingze smiles: “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Su Moxiu laughed.

“Hey! Are you alright?” The person who rented the boat to them on the shore was watching and shouted.

Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu suddenly regained their senses, and said together: “We’re fine! We’re fine!”

After finishing speaking, Yan Jingze said: “I will climb up first, and then pull you up.”

Su Moxiu answered, “Okay.”

Yan Jingze climbed onto the boat in two moves, then pulled Su Moxiu up again.

Now that it’s summer, women may wear a few more clothes, but they are men, so they really don’t wear much.

No matter what, their clothes are still very thin.

After falling into the water and then getting on the boat, their clothes were tightly attached to their body, outlining their clear body lines.

The fifth prince has been treating him with courtesy these days. Su Moxiu originally wanted to test the fifth prince in such a state, but now…

He was attracted by the fifth prince, his eyes couldn’t help but drift to him.

He was…shameless.

Yan Jingze’s eyes couldn’t help falling on Su Moxiu.

What’s more, he is…reacting like when Emperor Chengde gave him medicine before.

This is really not right.

How could he do this in broad daylight!

Yan Jingze proficiently stimulated his body to calm himself down, and then asked Su Moxiu: “You’ll catch a cold if your clothes are wet. Do you want to change your clothes and dry them?”

“It’s so hot, I won’t catch a cold, just dry it in the sun.” Su Moxiu said, stood up, then pretended to be unstable and fell to Yan Jingze.

He is very clear that whether he fell into the water before or fell into the fifth prince’s arms now, his intentions are very obvious.

The fifth prince must be able to understand what he meant.

Success or failure depends on what happens next!

This boat belongs to someone else, and they certainly can’t really do anything on board, but they are all men, he knows more than one way to do it.

He still has handkerchiefs and so on, and the fifth prince’s guards were also waiting on the shore, so it’s okay to let people get their clothes.

Their boat was bigger than some small boats, but it wasn’t that big. Yan Jingze saw Su Moxiu falling towards him, so he quickly hugged Su Moxiu, fearing that Su Moxiu would be injured.

“Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?” Yan Jingze asked, why is Su Moxiu always unstable today?

Su Moxiu: “…” The fifth prince could understand what he meant, right?

Yan Jingze really didn’t understand it.

He has the original owner’s memory, so he knows that those scholars are very particular, and Su Moxiu is the best among those scholars, the one who has always been praised by those great scholars who taught the original owner.

It’s impossible for such a person to seduce him, right?

Is it because it was too hot so Su Moxiu felt uncomfortable?

Yan Jingze reached out to touch Su Moxiu’s forehead, and then held Su Moxiu’s wrist to check his pulse.

Granted, he still has to work hard to suppress a certain part of his body that is about to move too.

Scholars all like to sit back and relax, he can definitely do it!

Heavens! Su Moxiu is better than the medicine Emperor Chengde gave to him last time!

At that time, he had no desires, no passion, only a pure heart, but now his mind is full of unspeakable things, which makes him almost unable to restrain himself.

But this is really extremely hasty.

Yan Jingze, on the other hand, took Su Moxiu’s pulse and said, “Your pulse is a little fast. Let’s go back immediately and see a doctor?”

Su Moxiu was actually still in Yan Jingze’s arms.

He felt that the fifth prince should also be interested in him, when he did so, his face was red.

But now, the heat on his face is decreasing.

The fifth prince is really a gentleman.

The fifth prince really likes him? really like men?

If he really likes men, how can he be so calm?

Seeing the fifth prince jumping off the boat to save him before, Su Moxiu was full of joy, but now, this joy gradually disappeared.

“I’m fine, I can just take a rest.” Su Moxiu said as he moved away from the fifth prince’s arms, bent his legs, and buried his face in his knees.

The fifth prince didn’t respond, but he was different, he really liked this person, so at this moment…his heart beat faster, and his body…

Su Moxiu felt a little ashamed.

It’s fine for him to seduce the person by accident, but the person still doesn’t respond.

If this kind of thing is known by others, they will definitely laugh at him.

“No, you must go and see.”

“No need, I’m fine…you can check my pulse if you don’t believe me.” Su Moxiu stretched out his hand.

Yan Jingze felt Su Moxiu’s pulse and found that Su Moxiu’s pulse had become normal.

There is nothing wrong with Su Moxiu’s health, it may have been an accident before, but Yan Jingze still said: “If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”

“Okay.” Su Moxiu agreed.

The wind blew on him, his clothes gradually dried, and the heat on his body dropped.

He didn’t know what to do next.

Before, he wanted to go all out and do something with the fifth prince, but now…

Su Moxiu was a little dazed, while Yan Jingze secretly looked at him, his heart agitated.

He really really likes Su Moxiu!

At the beginning, his only thought was to be friends with Su Moxiu for a lifetime, and then take Su Moxiu with him when he left this world.

Later, he found out that he liked Su Moxiu and decided to chat with Su Moxiu, but he didn’t think too much about their future.

He felt that they would live like this for the rest of their lives, and then leave this world together.

But now…he is not satisfied with the life of eating, drinking and having fun with Su Moxiu every day!

He started to have some evil thoughts.

He is not satisfied with being with Su Moxiu during the day, he wants to sleep with Su Moxiu at night too!

It’s just that men and men cannot get married.

Yan Jingze searched through the original owner’s memory but found no man who married a man.

However, there are things where two men are together in history too.

Some people in this dynasty even take pride in having a handsome servant by their side.

But…most of them who were with other men will also marry wives and have children.

There are also animals that have male couples, he has also seen it before, but when these animals have the opportunity to meet the females, they will still go to the females.

Absolutely not!

He won’t allow Su Moxiu to do this!

But if they only talk in private, when the Su family forces Su Moxiu, will Su Moxiu refuse?

If Su Gu directly drugged Su Moxiu like Emperor Chengde did to him, would Su Moxiu be able to stop him?

So it’s better to marry Su Moxiu, then the two of them will be together in an upright manner, so that he can naturally control Su Moxiu for the rest of his life, and Su Gu and the others will never dare to make trouble.

But even if he wants to get married, there is no equal status marriage in this world.

If Su Moxiu married him, he would be branded as his, and would be ridiculed in the future, making it difficult to make further progress in his career.

Wait…there is another way!

It’s better for him to join the family.

He didn’t want to be a prince at all, so he could join the Su family!

The more Yan Jingze thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. If he married into the Su family, Su Moxiu would not be affected, and Su Gu would definitely not dare to make Su Moxiu marry again!

The problem now is that Emperor Chengde will definitely not agree.

But even if Emperor Chengde disagreed, he would still mention it.

Even if he can’t marry into Su’s family openly…he can just let Emperor Chengde ‘discuss’ with Su Gu, it’s okay for the two families to do this secretly!

As long as he can be with Su Moxiu, he doesn’t care whether it’s upright or not.

Su Moxiu raised his head, and saw that the fifth prince was thinking, but he didn’t know what he was thinking.

This is the first time he has come out to play with the fifth prince.

Although he did a stupid thing and made it difficult for him to step down, he still wanted to leave some good memories for this trip.

Su Moxiu calmed down and chatted with the fifth prince.

Yan Jingze also came back to his senses, and chatted with Su Moxiu.

Neither of them wanted to go back, so they dawdled until it was almost dark before they separated.

Before they parted, they went out to eat something together.

As soon as Su Moxiu entered the house, he walked around the screen wall and saw his father.

His father moved a chair and sat behind the screen wall, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing him, his father opened his eyes.

It was almost dark, and in the darkness, his father’s eyes were extraordinarily bright, like ice.

Su Moxiu said, “Father, I’m back.”

Su Gu stood up: “Follow me to the study!”

When Su Moxiu followed his father to the study, Yan Jingze went to the East Palace and also entered the crown prince’s study: “Big brother! I want to marry into the Su family.”

The book in the crown prince’s hand fell with a ‘thud’.

T/N: Poor crown prince. He gonna be Yan Jingze shield to talk with the emperor again lol
