If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Zhou Min rode a carriage back to the mansion. When he got off the carriage, he didn't step firmly and the young servant beside him didn't support him in time, so he almost fell to the ground.

The young attendant was so frightened that he was about to kneel down and apologize, but King Jin raised his hand to stop him, "It's okay, I didn't pay attention."

The young servant felt relieved, but when he looked up, he was met with a pair of eyes that contained murderous intent.

Looking more closely, the master was still as calm and composed as always.

Even after the prince and his men entered the palace, the little servant had not yet recovered from his shock.

When Princess Lou Qing of Prince Jin heard that her prince had returned home, she hurriedly brought all the concubines and maids to the second gate to welcome him.

Before she could even start the greetings, Lou Qing received a meaningful look from her own prince. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sent everyone else away.

After asking for hot water, Zhou Min soaked in the water, put a towel on his face, rested his head on the edge of the bathtub and closed his eyes to rest.

Lou Qing walked in quietly, sent the servants away, and gently placed his hands on Zhou Min's shoulders, massaging them neither too lightly nor too heavily.

Zhou Min sighed softly and whispered, "My father has been ill for many days, and my mother and I have been worried for many days. Now that his condition has finally improved, I can finally put my worries at ease."

Lou Qing paused for a moment, and replied softly, "That's great. Father is blessed with great fortune, and will surely live a long and happy life."

Zhou Min took Lou Qing's hand on his shoulder and kneaded it gently. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Take someone to clean up Yunxiyuan in the next few days."

Lou Qing almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He softly replied yes, but couldn't help asking, "But is there a new sister coming into the mansion?"

Zhou Min loosened his hand and did not answer.

Lou Qing knew that she was asking too much.

I also know who Yunxiyuan is prepared for.

Such an outstanding appearance, such outstanding courage, such decisive means...

And the way the prince looked at her was definitely not the way a lord looks at his favored aide, but rather the way a man looks at the girl he likes.

So doting, attentive, and affectionate...

For the woman's safety, he even sent away his twelve most capable shadow guards.

If that woman entered the palace, what would it matter to them, a vulgar woman in the eyes of the princes?

Lou Qing was just daydreaming when he suddenly heard the prince whispering, "In the next few days, order everyone in the mansion to be careful in what they say and do, and be cautious in their actions. All people and things entering and leaving the mansion must be carefully checked, and there must be no omissions."

Lou Qing's heart trembled, and he quickly responded softly.

Zhou Min thought for a moment and then asked, "I asked you to search all the things in the mansion, every corner carefully. Have you checked it?"

Lou Qing quickly replied: "I have already ordered people to check all the courtyards in the mansion."

Zhou Min felt annoyed.

Since he didn't say anything, Lou Qing knew that his actions had not met the prince's requirements, and he became more and more uneasy.

After a long while, Zhou Min sighed and said, "Some time ago, a curse appeared in my mother's palace."

Lou Qing screamed in surprise and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Fortunately, after I warned my mother, she tampered with the thing in advance. Otherwise, you and I would have been punished today."

Zhou Min sneered, "Do you know where that dirty thing was found? It was under the flower tree in the Changning Palace garden."

He closed his eyes and spoke lazily, but what he said frightened Lou Qing. "At that time, my father's condition had just eased, and the imperial physician repeatedly told him to rest. But my father didn't waste a moment and broke into Changning Palace with his men."

Everyone knows that witchcraft is pure nonsense.

The imperial family was not afraid of witchcraft, but the sinister intentions of the person who performed the witchcraft.

Therefore, if Concubine Xian had not found the puppet, the fate of mother and son would have been a hundred times more miserable than Prince Ning's current fate!

Lou Qing was extremely ashamed and bowed down quickly, "It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I will take people to search carefully right away."

Zhou Min frowned and said, "Since we are going to clean up Yunxi Courtyard, we have to do some construction. Also, the furniture, utensils, decorations, and flowers must be carefully selected and made to be the best possible."

This was a reminder to Lou Qing that even if he conducted a thorough search, he couldn't let anyone discover any clues.

It was a good opportunity to use the cleaning up of Yunxi Courtyard as an excuse to cover up any big commotion.

Now Lou Qing no longer had any thoughts of jealousy and quickly agreed.

Zhou Min was tired physically and mentally, he raised his hand to press his forehead and ordered: "You go out first, please ask Mr. Jin to wait for me in Xuanlang Pavilion later."

After Lou Qing left, Zhou Min soaked for a while and then got up.

When we arrived at Xuanlang Pavilion, Jin Shan was already waiting there.

At the same time, there was an unexpected person waiting in Xuanlang Pavilion.

When Zhou Min saw this person, his eyes suddenly lit up. He excitedly stepped forward and bowed as a disciple. "Teacher? When did you return to Beijing?"

Zheng Zhun stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I arrived in Beijing at noon today. I knew that Your Highness was in the palace, so I went to visit some old friends."

Zheng Zhun was free and easy by nature and did not like to be restricted.

He served as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College for several years and was also the mentor of several princes.

Later, the Prince of Jin went to the vassal state, and Zheng Zhun followed him to Jincheng, where he provided him with advice and made great contributions to the governance of Jin.

When the Prince of Jin returned to the capital, Zheng Zhun did not follow him, but went to travel and visit friends in various places.

Zhou Min felt relieved and said with a smile, "That's great. The teacher is back in Beijing. I finally feel relieved."

Zheng Zhun smiled and said, "Your Highness is too modest. Your Highness is a master of strategy and has unparalleled wisdom. Even I, an old minister, am ashamed of myself."

After the few of them exchanged greetings and sat down, Zhou Min told Jin Shan about the emperor's condition without telling Zheng Zhun, and asked, "What was it like when you went to the palace to check your father's pulse?"

Jin Shan shook his head gently, "It's too late to save the situation, even gods can't help."

Zhou Min smiled silently, "But now, he has been rescued."

Jin Shan frowned and said thoughtfully, "This is not impossible. Perhaps after your majesty vomited out the blood in his chest, the blood and qi in his meridians are unblocked, so he can be safe for the time being."

"However, Your Majesty has been ill for a long time and has lost a lot of vitality. You should calm down and recuperate, and avoid extreme joy, sorrow, or anger."

The imperial physician's diagnosis at the time was that the emperor was at the end of his life and would not survive more than half a month.

Prince Ning was imprisoned and the imperial concubine was under house arrest. He had become the regent and his mother took control of the harem.

Everything is going in his favor.

He even trapped Qin Shu in the palace.

As long as he receives the mandate from heaven and ascends to the supreme position, he can directly enthrone her as a concubine.

Only then will you truly feel that your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled and that you will be satisfied!

He has been waiting for this day for too long!

Who could have thought that my father, who was just about to take his last breath, would actually recover?

Until now, Zhou Min didn't know how he managed to sleepwalk out of the palace with his shaky body.

He didn't know what he felt.

Lost?

Or fear?

Or maybe both.

Prince Ning had done such a thing, but the Emperor just imprisoned him.

Who can guarantee that the emperor will not be soft-hearted and pardon Prince Ning again?

The night is long and there are always too many dreams!
