The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Prince Jing's motives were already scary enough before, but now that Xie Yuheng was stuck at this time, Xia Yechen couldn't help but not think too much.

While thinking about it, Song Ling had already led people over. He gave a gentle announcement and left immediately. Xie Yuheng also cupped his hands and said, "I have met the prince."

Xia Yechen waved his hand to excuse himself and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Yuheng did not hesitate and directly spread the information he had found. No one expected that Xia Yechen asked him to stay at Prince Jing's Mansion, and finally he could follow the clues and get to the border.

As soon as he heard the word "bianguan", Xia Yechen's face turned a little ugly, and he asked coldly: "What's going on? How can he have such long hands?"

Princess Jing's mother and concubine passed away many years ago. The emperor used this opportunity to let him take over many businesses in the capital, but he never let him leave the capital. It was understandable that he raised private soldiers. After all, money can make all the difference, but in Prince Jing's palace With no one on staff, how could he have the guts to reach out to the border?

Even for a general like Xia Yechen who had been in the border area, he never exchanged any letters with the people at the border area after he was recalled to the capital.

After all, the emperor is the most suspicious. If he has to interfere with things that do not belong to him, he will only end up destroying himself. This was Xia Yechen's way of survival before, and the emperor was therefore satisfied with him.

But now it seems that Xia Yechen found that he was still too restrained. Prince Jing dared to stretch his hand so far without any real power.

It’s really hard to imagine, is it testing the emperor’s bottom line?

Xia Yechen pondered, and Xie Yuheng also came up with the answer, and said directly: "I was also confused before, but later, I found out

...His Royal Highness Prince Jing’s message does not seem to have been sent by the carrier pigeon of Prince Jing’s Mansion. "

Hearing this, Xia Yechen stood up with a hesitant look on his face, "You mean, he relies on other people's hands - but who dares to support him to do such a secret thing? Aren't you afraid that the incident will be exposed and get into trouble? Or? explain……"

He paused as he spoke, and Xie Yuheng also calmly answered, "There is also a possibility that the person involved is so close to him that he doesn't care about this crime."

The two looked at each other with understanding in their eyes. There were very few people in the court who were willing to help Prince Jing in such a situation, but they were not without them.

Without waiting for Xia Yechen to ask again, Xie Yuheng raised his hand again and clarified the deep meaning behind it, "Your Highness, Concubine Jia and her mother clan in the palace have completely leaned towards the influence of Prince Jing. They seem to intend to elect her as the crown prince. Now they are just waiting for the border clearance." responded."

Concubine Jia's surname is Lin. In addition to the head of the Lin family who lives in the capital, there is also a border guard general who has lived at the border for a long time. Xia Yechen has never served under him. After all, the borders are different.

But in comparison, General Lin was stationed in the north and never fell behind against the rumored murderous Hu people.

Invisibly, its reputation is naturally much higher.

Lin Jiawen was able to reach the rank of Sangong, and Wu was able to reach the rank of general, and his reputation among the people was extremely high. It is no wonder that the emperor was always reluctant to offend Concubine Jia, but in this way, the Lin family was really Sima Zhao's heart.

Especially now that he is preparing to unite with Prince Jing, he must be so anxious because he is worried that Concubine Jia will have no children for a long time and is afraid that the results of the plan will be missed by others.

But at the same time, Xia Yechen actually couldn't understand that Prince Jing was not an easy target.

.

Due to emotions and reasons, only children like the Seventh Prince are suitable to be puppet emperors. These people are trying to support Prince Jing to the throne with the fame he has earned over a long period of time? But Prince Jing was not a fool. He dared to raise private soldiers because he must have the intention to strengthen his own power.

The Lin family wanted to use Prince Jing as a trick, so how could Prince Jing just sit back and wait for death? They were afraid that this cooperation was rootless and would fall apart when the wind blows - but at this time, the seventh prince was adopted by Concubine Shu again.

Xia Yechen frowned, obviously realizing something. Xie Yuheng's investigation was roughly carried out at the same time as he entered the palace.

It stands to reason that no matter how powerful Concubine Jia and Prince Jing are, they should not be counted in the death of Zhao Wu, unless...some people can't hide their thoughts, unless this was a set-up from the beginning.

There were real internal and external troubles at this time, and various situations emerged one after another. Xia Yechen had a slight headache, and at the same time he felt that things were not that simple.

"Did you intercept the border letter and say what it said?"

When asked, Xie Yuheng shook his head and only said: "I don't dare to alert the enemy. Maybe we can try to intercept him again on the way, but the confidentiality of the Lin family's military generals for generations is not something I can try."

What this means is that Prince Jing’s man Xie Yuheng can stop him, but the Lin family cannot. In other words, the Lin family is unlucky enough.

Originally, Xia Yechen might not have been able to discover this matter, but Prince Jing couldn't help him. Even the only source information could be found out. He didn't know what the Lin family would think when they found out about this matter a few years later.

This thought passed through Xia Yechen's mind. He quickly shook his head to clear his mind and said, "No matter what, send someone to follow the letter."

"General Lin

Military people are of a noble nature and have not been involved in internal affairs for a long time. I may not agree in the future, but we cannot ignore the movements at the border - Mr. Xie, we are in trouble again this time. "

Hearing this, Xie Yuheng was not surprised.

He bowed his hands and saluted Xia Yechen, with a solemn face, and only said: "This is my duty. I will pack my things later, leave the capital on the grounds of visiting relatives, and quietly go to the border to investigate the suspicious people around General Lin. , this matter is trivial, I hope His Highness can rest assured."

Xie Yuheng said solemnly, and Xia Yechen also breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward to help the person up, and said sincerely, "I am lucky to have Mr. Xie here."

"Your Highness is serious. If His Highness hadn't saved Xie's life, Xie would have died a long time ago and no one knows where he was buried."

The two of them were polite and finished their words before leaving.

Obviously, Xie Yuheng's ability was trustworthy enough, but Xia Yechen also felt deeply that his own power was powerless. Although Concubine Shu was favored by His Majesty, except for matters in the palace, she could not actually help much.

Xia Yechen was indeed not interested in that supreme position, but Prince Jing's ill will towards him had long been obvious.

He had thought about it a lot before, and anyone could sit in that seat, even the unheard-of eldest son of a concubine, Prince Fu.

But it must not be Prince Jing. Prince Jing was narrow-minded by nature, and he would retaliate for his anger. Xia Yechen could not imagine what he would do to his brothers and sisters, especially himself, if he took the throne.

So no matter what, this trip must be stopped. I only hope that Xie Yuheng, as a civil servant, can use his sharp tongue.

However, if you think about it carefully, the probability of success of this matter is still quite high. After all, the emperor has been holding back and not attacking the Lin family.

It is also because General Lin acts in a low-key manner and has a completely different style from the rest of the Lin family - but if the Lin family persuades General Lin this time...
