The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Cao Yang was grateful that Marquis Weiyuan sent Mu Lu to warn him in time, so that he would not be implicated in the incident at Huangzhuang and trapped in the East Palace.

But Mu Lu said that the Hou Ye did this to avoid embarrassment for himself... but he was a little confused.

"Appreciate further details."

"Master Cao, think about it... The matter at Huangzhuang has directly touched His Majesty's bottom line. Even if he will not depose the prince on the spot, he must express it in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The prince will definitely be punished. If he is Since I am banned from the East Palace, I am trying my best to find someone to discuss my escape plan, but apart from you, who else is more suitable in the entire East Palace?"

Mu Lu took a sip of water and continued: "The matter in the Imperial Village is so messy. According to Lord Cao's temperament, it is natural that he does not want to be associated with the prince. However, now that Lord Cao is an official of the East Palace, he cannot help but obey. When the time comes... Sir, how can I Not embarrassed?"

Cao Yang suddenly realized: "It turns out... Lord Hou actually understands me so well!"

Indeed, Chang Jing had already faced this situation when he sent someone to deliver a secret letter.

Chang Jing did such an unnatural thing. As the crown prince, if he really cared about his people, he should go to his majesty to complain. However, instead of doing so, he insisted on protecting Chang Jing, and even made himself work for him. Make suggestions.

He wanted to refuse, but the prince was also kind to him... so he had no choice but to suggest that the Chang clan should take the blame.

In this way, even if Chang Jing is not guilty of death, he still has to bear some responsibility for it. The prince can escape, and he has fulfilled his official duties. But who would have thought that the prince actually adopted his suggestion and sent The secret guard went to help Chang Jing kill people and silence them!

This caused a disaster that is difficult to eradicate today.

After he heard the news, he also felt like he was surviving a disaster, but he didn't expect that such a result was arranged in advance by the Marquis out of gratitude for him.

In Jiangnan, he didn't spend much time with Mr. Hou, but he didn't expect that he could fully understand his thoughts and dilemma.

He stood up and bent deeply towards the direction of Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Mu Lu also put away his laughter and stood up to return the gift on behalf of his Marquis.

After the two sides sat down again, Cao Yang asked straight to the point: "Do you think that the incident in Huangzhuang and the prince's ban were all arranged by the Marquis?"

"Exactly." The words had reached this point, and Mu Lu had nothing to hide.

Cao Yang was a little surprised. He had a bold suspicion in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said: "Marquis Weiyuan...do you want that position?"

"Our master?" Mu Lu didn't expect Cao Yang to be so bold. This thought was really fatal!

He responded as expected: "Of course not, sir, please don't think too much!"

Do people who are good at solving cases always have such bold ideas in their minds?

Cao Yang knew that he would be wrong and blushed a little:

"Then why does the Marquis... He is His Majesty's nephew, and the current princes are all his cousins. Why does he target the prince like this? And... there is no room for exposure in the court meeting."

When Mu Lu heard this, he smiled and said, "Lord Cao, do you think that based on what the current crown prince is doing now, if he ascends to the throne of God in the future, will the people of Zhou Dynasty have a good life?"

He spoke very straightforwardly, and did not leave any leeway just because Cao Yang was an official of the East Palace.

Cao Yang lowered his head and did not comment.

He had asked himself this question countless times.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Lu knew something, and he continued:

"Speaking of why we should take action at the court meeting, if this matter is not known to everyone, with His Majesty's doting on the prince, all he needs is for the prince and the queen to come forward and cry. This shocking case that violates human ethics is nothing more than It’s just a hasty revelation. Even if these people are rescued, what will happen in the future? Who can guarantee that the prince will not connive at his subordinates to do more ridiculous things? "

"Has Mr. Cao ever heard of the prince's brother-in-law occupying the Jiangxia Salt Mine?"

Cao Yang nodded: "I've heard a little bit."

The prince's brother-in-law listened to the advice of others in Jiangxia and occupied the local salt mines, causing a lot of commotion. It is said that there is also a lawsuit involving human lives.

Salt mines are a national destiny, and dumping salt mines is a capital crime. The prince knew that he could not escape, so he went to admit his mistake in front of His Majesty.

"Our father reminded him of that incident, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark when the incident occurred."

"So that's it. Later I heard that someone in the court reported the matter, but the prince had already gone to admit his mistake in front of His Majesty, and was finally suppressed." After Cao Yang finished speaking, he looked at Mu Lu, "But the prince really didn't know about that matter. .”

"Yes, the prince didn't know about it." Mu Lu smiled slightly, "He didn't know about Jiangxia, he didn't know about Huangzhuang, he didn't know about everything... It's understandable that others don't know, but The prince didn’t know? Do you know what is the biggest fault of the superior?"

"Have no regard for human life?"

"No."

"Only profit?"

"No."

"That's..." Cao Yang was a little confused.

"It's incompetence!" Mu Lu looked at him, "There are hundreds of attendants in the East Palace, dozens of subordinate officials, and more than a hundred secret guards. They are related to officials from all over the court. But with such connections, almost no one can take part in all important matters. His report... can only show that although he is the crown prince, he cannot control his subordinates at all."

"Being a prince is like this. If you ascend the throne in the future, how will you face those six ministers who are full of evil intentions, and all the military princes with military power?"

"At that time, what will happen in Da Zhou?"

"Incompetence is his biggest fault!"

Cao Yang had nothing to say.

He was just a young man before, just handling some trivial affairs of the East Palace.

Now that I am getting closer to the prince, I gradually know what kind of temperament the prince of the East Palace is like. Tossing and turning late at night, I heard the singing and dancing in the prince's palace, and I was worried about the future of Zhou Dynasty.

But...his matter is a small matter in the East Palace.

Apart from solving cases, he has no other abilities or interests.

The reason why he was willing to stay in the East Palace was because the prince promised to recommend him to become an official in Dali Temple in the future.

And now...

He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Lu: "In the Huangzhuang case, as long as Chang Jing is found guilty, the prince will not be able to escape. What does the Marquis need from me?"

If nothing happened, Mu Lu would not come looking for him early today.

Today is the day when His Majesty will personally interrogate Chang Jing in the palace.

When Mu Lu heard this, he smiled slightly: "Do you know about the sudden death of the Crown Princess's uncle who was the magistrate of Puyang County last winter in Hefu?"

Cao Yang nodded. During that time, the princess cried all the time, was tired from deep thought, and managed the affairs of the palace flawlessly.

The prince complained several times in front of him.

"That matter was Chang Jingdong's hand."

"How could it happen?" Cao Yang was stunned, this is simply unbelievable!

Chang Jing is the uncle of the Crown Princess, and Magistrate Lu is the uncle of the Crown Princess. They are related by marriage. Why would Chang Jing take action against one of his own?

"It's to better control the Crown Princess. After all, the Lu family is close to the Crown Princess, which is not a good thing for the Chang family."

Cao Yang felt a chill rising up his back: Is it because of this that Chang Jing was so cruel to his in-laws?

Now, what does Mu Lu mean by revealing the truth to himself?

He asked: "Does the Marquis want me to inform the Crown Princess about this?"

Mu Lu nodded.

Cao Yang thought for a long time in his heart, but there was still something unclear: "But Mr. Chang Jing is the Crown Princess's uncle after all. Will the Crown Princess really abandon him because of this?"

"To be honest, I don't understand either." Mu Lu grinned.

Cao Yang: "..."
