Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Suburbs of Beijing

The wheels rolled over the ground and stopped at the tea house halfway up the mountain.

"Your Majesty, we are here."

King Runan made a nasal sound, and the servant helped him out of the carriage, and stood in front of the tea house.

Looking at the hidden teahouse in front of him, King Runan paused for a moment, then stepped forward to the threshold.

As soon as the door opened, the waiter hurriedly greeted him and saw that it was King Runan. He took him to the small room on the second floor with ease.

There was only a low couch in the room, with a small table on top and tea sets placed on it.

There was a person sitting cross-legged on the couch. When he saw someone entering the room, he looked calm and spoke slowly, "My lord, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"

"General Cen, why do you have to say these polite words?" King Runan took off his shoes, sat down opposite him, and said in a cold tone, "General, didn't you listen to the story in the capital? Why do you want to ask me how I am doing these days?"

Cen Zhenjiang curled his lips, raised his hand to pour him a cup of tea, and asked quietly, "I heard that the prince had some conflicts with Minister Shen two days ago?"

"Don't mention it, that man is simply a lunatic!" King Runan spat, feeling unlucky, "I wanted to overwhelm the Yongcheng Houfu, but I didn't know where I offended him, so he rushed into my bank. He started fighting with me, and if there weren't any thugs around, he would really have the upper hand."

King Runan touched the corners of his eyes with an angry expression, "I used good ointment to get rid of the bruises."

Cen Zhenjiang's hand holding the teapot paused, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly, "The prince is targeting the Yongcheng Marquis, why did Mr. Shen have such a big reaction?"

King Runan's tone was unkind and his face was frighteningly cold, "It's probably to please the son of the Xie family. This guy's actions are illogical. I can't see through him at all."

"No..." Cen Zhenjiang frowned and thought carefully, "Xie Li is a fourth-grade official. Logically speaking, he should be the one rushing to please Shilang Shen. How could it be reversed?"

When he said this, King Runan also realized something was wrong and his expression became serious.

Cen Zhenjiang played with a pair of iron walnuts in his hand and said in a serious tone, "Shilang Shen is usually the most cautious. Even the steps he takes to enter the Jinluan Palace are the same every day. For such a person to dare to fight with the emperor in person in public, it is certain that It was because I was pushed into a hurry.”

"The prince targeted the Yongcheng Marquis, but unexpectedly angered Shilang Shen, making a civil servant lose his mind like this..." Cen Zhenjiang was silent for a moment and lowered his voice, "There must be someone in the Yongcheng Marquis who he cherishes very much. Not Xie Li."

"The two of them have been colleagues for a long time. They are members of the emperor's party. For Xie Li, he cannot do this." Cen Zhenjiang rubbed his chin and said in a profound tone, "It must be a woman to make the always aloof and aloof Shilang Shen go crazy."

"You are right, this is just a matter of anger." King Runan also reacted and said quickly, "The trouble can only occur in Yongcheng Houfu."

"The woman from the Yongcheng Marquis..." Cen Zhenjiang lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating on his face, his head hurting badly.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly thought of someone, "Could it be that... he fell in love with the wife of the late prince?"

"My dearest son..." King Runan thought carefully and murmured, "Are you talking about the daughter of the Liu family?"

He was no stranger to this person.

"Not bad." Cen Zhenjiang nodded, looking serious.

King Runan frowned and asked, half convinced and half doubtful, "Is there a big difference in age?"

There is a whole eleven years difference.

"What if Minister Shen has some other hobbies?" Cen Zhenjiang winked at him and said with a smile.

King Runan paused and nodded in agreement, "After all, the women in Yongcheng Houfu are all cowards, led by that bitch Fang Xu. The top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked."

<divclass="contentadv">Cen Zhenjiang rubbed his fingertips with a sinister smile, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Now we have a handle on Minister Shen. With just a few tricks, we can ruin his reputation."

"My lord, if you think about it carefully, how can you handle people with bad conduct under the control of the Holy One?"

King Runan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth also raised, "You are right, Shen Ji went to my territory to cause trouble. I have long wanted to make amends for this!"

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, treat others in the same way as you treat them?" Cen Zhenjiang raised his eyebrows, with a sinister smile on his lips, "Only the Yongcheng Marquis is allowed to play dirty tricks behind his back, but the Prince is not allowed to fight back?"

"There are many ways to ruin a person's reputation."

King Runan's eyes dimmed, pondering the meaning of his words.

Cen Zhenjiang pinched the iron walnut and glanced at King Runan, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

As long as he could bring down Shen Ji, it would be equivalent to taking off an arm of the new emperor.

Such a good opportunity, you must seize it.

"I know it well." King Runan straightened his expression, took a sip of warm tea, and whispered, "I came today because of an important matter."

"Oh?" Cen Zhenjiang became interested and asked with raised eyebrows, "I'm all ears."

King Runan tapped the table with his fingertips, his expression indifferent, "My people have heard important news. Taking the capital as a point, there is an unknown mountain to the north, and there are twin veins of gold and copper buried at the bottom of the mountain."

Cen Zhenjiang was startled and almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand, "Seriously?"

"We don't know whether it's true or not at the moment, but it's worth a try." King Runan looked back with a calm expression, "If the news is true, do you know how much benefit it will bring to us?"

"The gold mine is the foundation, and the copper mine is used to cast the tools. It's like a tiger with even more wings. As long as we have enough people, why worry about not being able to take over this country?"

Cen Zhenjiang felt excited when he heard this, and his face turned red. He said yes repeatedly, "Okay, it's really good! Even God is helping us now. This is God's will!"

"The prince must send someone to investigate. Once the mineral vein is found, he will immediately buy the mountain, seal the foot of the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter!"

King Runan nodded and smiled, as if he was determined to win the mountain, "If the news is correct, the benefits in the future..."

The smile at the corner of Cen Zhenjiang's mouth became shallower, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he could only forcefully maintain his smile, "Your Majesty, what you said means that you are disobedient to me. Without Your Majesty spending a lot of money, how could Prince Huai have succeeded in such a short time?" Full of wings?"

Hearing this, King Runan couldn't hide his pride on his face, sneered, and said slowly, "I like to deal with smart people, you'd better not let me down."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Cen Zhenjiang raised the tea cup in his hand towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "As long as we complete our grand plan, the benefit will naturally be that Your Majesty will be chosen first."

"You know the truth." King Runan snorted coldly, with a smile appearing in his eyes.

It must be said that Cen Zhenjiang's compliments and flattery made him very happy.

"I have sent people to the north. If there is anything else, the flying pigeon will send the message." King Runan stood up slowly, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and whispered.

Cen Zhenjiang also stood up, with deep eyes, "I'm just waiting for the good news from the prince."
