C340 She appeared too timely

When Morong Gan was walking out of the palace, he saw Prince Jin anxiously dismount from his horse. Prince Jin was a person who raised his superior body, if it wasn't for urgent matters, or if there wasn't a reason for him to show off his anger, he wouldn't ride horses at all, especially in this winter.

The moment he saw Morong Gan, he obviously heaved a sigh of relief, "I heard that Royal Brother anxiously recruited you into the palace, and scared me so much that I ran over before even changing my clothes."

"What are you panicking for?" Morong Gan cast a sidelong glance at him, "Are you afraid that Royal Brother will take me on the spot?" He snorted, "You think too highly of Royal Brother. If he had that kind of courage, I probably would have died a long time ago."

Seeing that he did not seem to care, the Prince Jin did not know what to say. Sighing, he said, "Come, let's go drink.

Morong Gan laughed: "I also have that intention."

Prince Jin had nowhere else to drink so he went straight to the light of the moon. During the day, the girls had not even woken up yet. The night was so bright and beautiful that it seemed a bit desolate and quiet, but Prince Jin was there just for this quiet.

He liked to stay at the Lotus Hall, one by one the corridor, the three of them facing the water, plus Ning Jiu and Jia Tong were standing outside, he did not need to worry about anyone eavesdropping on their conversation.

In the house, there was a large brazier and a bottle of La Mei was blooming in anger. A faint fragrance wafted in the air and Prince Jin and Prince Chu sat cross-legged next to each other, the jade bottles containing the plum wine were slowly being poured into the cups by Prince Jin.

"Third Brother, try this newly brewed plum wine and see how it tastes."

Prince Chu raised his small cup and took a sip. The fragrance of the wine was cool and refreshing, and the taste was smooth and gentle like a gentleman.

He smiled and drank the wine in one gulp. "It would be better if it was a little more spicy."

The Prince Jin shook his head, "Third Brother is still a noble prince, can you also learn to be elegant? If you act too rashly, it won't please women."

Morong Gan lowered his eyes, it was not easy to please women, it was a dilemma to please them, to offend them …

Seeing him not utter a word, the Prince Jin thought that he was thinking about the Prince Yu, so he said, "In Third Brother's opinion, who is the most suspicious?"

Morong Gan snorted, "Do you understand now?"

"Imperial Consort Bai?"

"Bai Rubing also has a part in it. One inside, one outside, working together from the inside, only then can you set up the trap."

The Prince Jin sighed, "It's a pity that there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise we would have to go to Royal Brother to imprint this book on the father and daughter."

"Do you think Royal Brother doesn't know?" Morong Gan poured wine for himself, "I am only mentioning it for a little, so Royal Brother is well aware of it. Otherwise, how could he let me off so easily when there's such a good opportunity?"

Prince Jin asked, "Is the case about to be closed?"

"Yes, to truly investigate, it's not that there are no flaws, it's just that there are too many implications and his face is unsightly. Putting everything else aside, just the matter of Prince Yu staying at the Rui Fu Palace would not be enough."

"I really don't understand the Royal Brother. If someone was wearing a green hat, why would they still swallow their anger?"

"Because he can't kill Bai Rubing and Imperial Consort Bai, and he still wants to use them to restrain me."

Prince Jin muttered: "For an Overlord to reach this step, is also very sad. It's better to be a person with nothing better to do than to eat, drink and have fun, and live a carefree life. "

Morong Gan was silent for a while, then said: "Even though Royal Brother will be a little extreme at times, in his heart, he carries the desires of the entire world, and he wholeheartedly wants to create an era of prosperity to be a good emperor. It's just that his abilities are limited, and he is struggling with his ideals and reality. What I am truly worried about is not the Royal Brother, nor is it the Bai Family father and daughter, but … "

"Who is it?"

"Huangfu Zhuer."

"Huangfu Zhuer?" Prince Jin was surprised: What are you worried about?

"She appeared too timely."

"But she's just a weak girl. What sort of storm could she possibly cause?"

Morong Gan looked at the wine cup in his hand and suddenly laughed: "I don't know either, I just have a bad premonition."

Prince Jin also laughed, "In my opinion, she must have disturbed the peace in Third Brother's mansion, brother is an experienced person, the consequence of having many women in the inner court. If Third Brother feels annoyed, why don't he come here and have some fun. The girls here don't bother people, they only make them happy. "

Morong Gan did not continue, he picked up her wine cup and clinked it with his, "Come, drink."

At the same time, in a room closest to a restaurant on the east side of the city, Bai Rubing and Huang Zhongyuan were also drinking.

Huang Zhong Yuan sighed, "It's such a pity that I didn't pull Prince Chu down this time. I didn't expect that that old geezer Zhang Jiisheng would turn the tables on us, ruining our good fortune. "

Bai Rubing on the other hand, had a face of indifference, as he leisurely picked up a bowl of food, and placed it in his mouth, "If Prince Chu was that easy to deal with, I would have taken him down long ago. Zhang Jisheng is an upright and upright man, and does things with principles. He has a reputation in the imperial court, so the Emperor still believes in him. "

"The emperor's meaning is to finish the case quickly and let Prince Yu rest in peace. What do you think?"

"Then let the emperor tie the knot." Bai Rubing said: "It's good for the case to be closed as soon as possible. After all, it's almost the new year. "It's easier for everyone."

"But … it took too much effort for the Empress to …"

Bai Rubing's face darkened as he swept a glance at him with his sinister eyes, "Master Huang must remember that disaster comes from the mouth."

"Yes yes, this official was reckless, please forgive me." Huang Zhongyuan wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

"Don't worry, although this time I didn't pull Prince Chu down, this old man still has a secret weapon in his possession. As long as it is presented to the Emperor, he will protect the Emperor's face from the wrath of the Emperor. At that time, even if the Prince Chu doesn't die, he will at least have a layer of skin removed."

"This is very good, very good," Huang Zhongyuan nodded and laughed, "I wonder what kind of secret weapon Prime Minister is talking about?"

Bai Rubing looked at him sideways, "Since it's a secret, then it's naturally impossible to tell. You'll know when the time comes."

Huang Zhongyuan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Prime Minister can't even trust this official?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's a matter of great importance, it's better to be more careful," Bai Rubing smiled sinisterly. "This time, this old man will definitely make the Prince Chu unable to turn over his body!"

Looking at that smiling face, Huang Zhong Yuan could not help but shiver inside.

Inside the palace, the Emperor dismissed the guests and slowly walked towards the direction of the Phoenix Cry Palace.

When he saw the palace door from afar, he stopped and looked at it from afar, but did not have the courage to take another step forward.

The truth of the matter had always been in his heart. He clearly knew, yet he allowed the situation to develop, because he needed an excuse, an excuse to deal with the Prince Chu. His anger was not an act. It came from the depths of his heart that he had been unwilling to accumulate for so many years. He was already an emperor, so why was his heart still constantly uneasy? Why didn't he have the determined look of the Prince Chu?

It was a pain that pierced deep into his heart, untouchable but which he had always known existed. It was a pain that tormented him for many years, a pain that stored up too much power and made him make an incredibly regretful but irrevocable mistake.

He, might lose the most important person in his life …
