The Jiulongwei prison was damp and cold, with a rotten smell.

The envoy of Nine Dragons Guards stood respectfully in front of one person, and said calmly, "Mr. Wu is dead."

Xu Changyan looked down at the woman at his feet: "Aren't you willing to recruit?"

Mrs. Huang was tortured for a whole day, her body was covered with wounds, and her last breath was left, "You...you have to promise me..."

Chang Yan: "I am not a person who breaks promises."

Huang: "...That night, I heard the master talking to a mysterious person. I couldn't hear clearly, and I could only vaguely hear the words Fifth Prince, Secret and Brothel."

Xu Changyan waved his sleeves and left: "A thorough investigation of all brothels in the city. Give her a sum of money and send her out of the city."

In Daqi, there are many princes under the current emperor's knees, but only a few of them are adults.The twelfth prince, Yun Cong, is only nine years old now, and his eldest brother, the third prince, has disabled legs. In the future, the fifth prince is healthy, smart and alert. It's still eye-catching.

The legitimate son is young, but Emperor Heng is old. It is inevitable that people with bad intentions will be eager to act and have evil thoughts. The fifth prince has great ambitions, but Emperor Heng firmly controls the government and is suspicious and arbitrary. No one dares to act rashly.

So the fifth prince held a banquet, using the pretext of inviting the princes and ladies of the capital to exchange and interact, secretly scouting for news and people's aspirations, with the intention of winning over and gaining prestige.

After rebirth, before he had time to get to know his cronies, this invitation letter was handed over to the desk.

The letter also named him by name, but he took his sister to go with him, and said that his brother would also come.

The forces in the capital are complicated, and his brother was involved in this matter at the beginning, so he had to find out.

Chongzhao changed his clothes, and the light blue robe was elegant in color, which complemented the young man's handsome face, elegant temperament, and the corners of his eyebrows were curved, showing the vitality and vigor of the young man. I may come back later, don't worry, I will take good care of Zhongqin."

Mrs. Zhong blew on the nourishing soup in her hand, and felt that the hot mouth was put down again, and said: "Okay, you have to take care of yourself, don't just think about messing around with your friends, and do things more prudently. Come on, put the white fungus first. I ate the soup to pad my stomach."

Zhong drank the nourishing soup, Chongzhao drank tremella soup, and Chongqin, who was dawdling in changing clothes, finally came out.The little girl was well dressed, with fresh makeup, and she looked playful and cute when she smiled.

Chongqin took Chongzhao's arm affectionately, and Chongzhao touched this uneasy head, looked at her pure and bright eyes, and the sincere smile on the corner of her mouth, and pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you so dawdling?"

Chongqin smiled and said: "Girls have to dress up beautifully when they go out, and I also want to talk to my mother more for my brother."

It was a beautiful spring, and the carriage of the Duke's Mansion carried the two of them all the way to Qinghe Garden.

Chongzhao has been busy at Dali Temple in recent days. It seems that there are not many things to do, and it is not easy to get started. He has returned all the things he learned from the old Taifu Shangguan when he was young. Reading the scriptures of the Qi family made his eyes sore, his headache ached and he felt drowsy.

The carriage bumped and arrived at the gate of Qinghe Garden not long after.He straightened his skirt and cuffs again and got out of the carriage.

A lot of people have already come to Qingheyuan, and Li Chongxing has his own contacts to take care of, so he couldn't come to accompany him for a while.

Chongqin took his brother's hand, looked around, and said, "I'm a little scared that brother isn't here."

Zhong Zhao said: "Have you never memorized the female commandments internal training? Have you never learned how to look and behave? What are you afraid of, you are a young lady from the Duke's mansion, so don't lose face to our Duke's mansion."

Chongqin tilted her head and muttered, "I'm a concubine, not as expensive as you."

There was a lot of noise around, Chongzhao couldn't hear clearly for a while, he tilted his head and asked her what she said, but Chongqin refused to repeat it anyway, saw someone walking over, so he didn't ask any more.

The man was dressed in brocade and jade crown, with fine cloud patterns on the cuffs and collar. He had a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament. Behind him were surrounded by many respected celebrities in the capital, just like the posture of a high-ranking person.

Chongzhao's pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his hands, "I have seen His Highness Fifth."

The fifth prince, Yunzhang, was born of a noble concubine, and he is the most famous among the princes in the capital.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the fifth prince personally coming to greet him.

Li Chongzhao, the second son of the Duke's Mansion, no, now he has two other identities, the Marquis of Zhao concurrently serves as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.Not to mention the Marquis, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a position with real power, that is to say, if you are not pleasing to the eye, you can turn around and bring the Dali eunuch to arrest you on the grounds of being involved in a crime.

Yunzhang's cold face in front of several white-clothed scholars just now was swept away, and there was a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, "Little Marquis Zhao doesn't need to be too polite, it is my honor to invite you to the little Marquis."

There are quite a few noble sons here who have no fame at all and rely entirely on the shadow of their ancestors, waiting for their father to pass away to inherit the title. , Seeing that Li Chongzhao was valued by the fifth prince when he came up, many eyes were red.

Someone said sourly: "As expected of being from the Duke's Mansion, the grandeur is great."

Yunzhang glanced over coldly, and said: "Bengong and Xiao Zhaohou take a step ahead. Come here, take Miss Chongqin down to rest."

Chongzhao patted Chongqin's head and asked someone to take Chongqin to eat first.

In spring, catkins are floating all over the courtyard, the temperature is suitable, spring flowers are in full bloom, and the scenery is pleasant. The fifth prince took him for a walk around the lake, until there was no one around. What do you think?"

Chongzhao replied: "According to the law of etiquette, the eldest son should be established as the crown prince, but everything still has to be decided by the emperor."

Yunzhang said: "I don't want to hear this, I just want to know what the Duke's government thinks about opposing Chu."

This is to ask the position of the Duke of the State. In the previous life, because the twelve princes, Yun Cong, were the heirs, the emperor had a deep affection for the queen who supported him all the way, so he appointed Yun Cong as the crown prince. Whether he will succeed to the throne smoothly or not, he did not live until then. .

Chongzhao smiled and said: "Your Highness, the establishment of a crown prince is a major national event. Forgive me, I dare not criticize you. Your majesty is wise and decisive. I believe that your majesty will not let the world down."

Yunzhang frowned, and turned to look at him: "Are you suspecting that this palace has disobedience?"

They came to a pavilion, behind which was a crimson wall surrounded by lush trees and feasts of spring flowers. Yunzhang looked at the docile eyes of the person in front of him. His light blue robe outlined a well-proportioned and slender figure. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if a leopard saw food.

Chong Zhao just said that he didn't intend to do so, and a servant not far away reported that the sons of the Lu family and the Han family had arrived.

The two families of Lu and Han are well-known families in the capital, Yunzhang did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly bid farewell and left.

The pace was a bit hasty, Chongzhao walked around to the rockery, and he could only see their backs, and was about to raise his feet to catch up, when someone behind him grabbed his neck, and his back leaned against a warm chest.

"I'm getting more and more courageous, and I'm talking with the Fifth Prince secretly in the deep and uninhabited path, huh?"
