After receiving the landscape painting from the King of Yueqing, Yang Xin locked himself in his room all day to study it. After studying for several days, he still couldn't see anything.
She frowned and looked at the ordinary landscape painting. Was she overthinking it?
No, Yang Xin rejected this idea and stood up to find Yang Wen.
There are many capable people around the emperor, so why not let dad give the painting to the emperor and see if he can find anything.
Lord Yang came back from duty and was a little surprised to hear that Yang Xin was looking for him.
He heard from his wife that his daughter had been staying in the house for several days and he didn't know what she was doing. He was about to go and ask her, but he didn't expect his daughter to come to him first.
"Dad, let's go to the study and talk."
Yang Xin pursed her lips. Her father and mother didn't know about her contact with Prince Yueqing. Taking out the painting now was equivalent to telling them. She was prepared to be scolded.
The two went to the study, and Yang Xin handed the painting in his hand to Yang Wen.
"Father, this is a painting sent by the Prince of Yueqing. I think it might contain a hidden meaning, but I've studied it for several days with no results, so I'd like to ask you to help pass it on to the Emperor."
Yang Wen took the painting, but his eyes were fixed on Yang Xin.
"How did you get involved with Prince Yueqing? Prince Yueqing is a cruel and ruthless person. Aren't you making your father and mother worried?"
Looking at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, Yang Wen couldn't bear to blame her after all.
"Next time, discuss everything with Mom and Dad first. What will Mom and Dad do if something goes wrong?"
Yang Xin smiled and nodded, promising, "My daughter knows, and this won't happen again."
No, she doesn’t know the location of the mine owned by King Yueqing.
"Dad, can I go see Prince Yueqing?"
Afraid that Yang Wen would not agree, Yang Xin pointed to the painting in his hand and said, "Maybe there will be unexpected gains. Anyway, he is imprisoned and can't do anything to me."
After thinking about it, Yang Wen nodded in agreement.
…
Prince Yueqing was a little surprised when he heard that Yang Xin came to see him.
He could understand other people's actions as kicking someone when they're down, but he really couldn't understand Yang Xin.
"Is the prince okay?"
Yang Xin and the other guides went down and walked to the prison door and asked softly.
Before the King of Yueqing could speak, Shen Yu came forward and said, "Tsk tsk, the prince is really charming. Which lady did he trick into secretly falling in love with you?"
Before, King Yueqing would definitely think that Shen Yu was jealous, but now he could only hear endless ridicule.
This is probably a satire on what he did when he met her before.
"Very good, why is Miss Yang here?"
Prince Yueqing automatically ignored Shen Yu's words and looked at Yang Xin in a plain dress.
She had a gentle smile on her face. This was the first time that Prince Yueqing saw Yang Xin smile like this, and it made him a little dazed.
Before, Yang Xin was either polite or cold and distant to him, and even when she cared about him, she acted in a businesslike manner.
"Miss Yang?" Seeing that the two ignored themselves, Shen Yu continued to be sarcastic, "It turned out to be Mr. Yang's daughter. Miss Yang should open her eyes and don't end up like Miss Yao."
Shen Yu also described Yao Xuan's appearance.
"Shen Yu, shut up."
Prince Yueqing really wanted to tear Shen Yu's mouth apart and not let him have a good chat with Yang Xin.
That old man, Lord Du, must have deliberately locked him up next to Shen Yu. If he couldn't interrogate him, he would let Shen Yu annoy him.
"Why should I shut up?" Shen Yu raised his chin, "This cell is not yours. You say yours, I say mine, if you don't want to listen, just cover your ears."
Prince Yueqing was so angry that his face turned green.
"Thank you for your concern," Yang Xin thanked Shen Yu in a good-tempered manner, "I have something to say to the prince, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Shen Yu: "..."
This guy has a really good temper.
Yang Xin gave her the impression of a gentle lady from a noble family, yet a little distant.
No wonder the hypocrite Prince Yueqing wants to deceive others.
Seeing that Shen Yu stopped talking, the prison suddenly became quiet. Yang Xin didn't want to stay any longer, so he went straight to the point.
"Thank you for the painting, Your Highness," she said in a low voice, so that only Prince Yueqing could hear it. "I heard from my father that Your Highness would be fine, so I didn't come to see you, but..."
Prince Yueqing's heart leaped with the turn of her words, "But what?"
He had a vague sense of foreboding.
"That painting looked ordinary, but I didn't expect it to contain a hidden mystery."
Yang Xin finished speaking ambiguously, staring intently at Prince Yueqing, not wanting to miss any changes in his expression.
Prince Yueqing's expression changed. He suppressed his shock and pretended to be calm, saying, "How could that be? That painting is just an ordinary one."
After confirming his guess, Yang Xin straightened up.
"I guess it's because I read too many storybooks. I saw that the ink was lighter in some places, so I thought there was something wrong."
"That painting belongs to the prince. If the prince says he doesn't have it, then it's gone."
Prince Yueqing did not relax because of Yang Xin's nonchalant expression, but felt even more uneasy.
Until Yang Xin left, he was still immersed in Yang Xin's words, and he didn't hear a word Yang Xin said afterwards.
If Shen Yu said this, King Yueqing would not doubt it, but Yang Xin is a smart man, otherwise he would not have taken his key without him noticing.
Thinking of this, Prince Yueqing slammed the prison door in a panic.
"Let me out."
If the emperor really got the things in the painting, he would be left with nothing.
Even if he got out and lost the mine, he would lose the chance to make a comeback.
"What are you howling about?" Shen Yu said impatiently, "It's so noisy."
I really don’t know what Miss Yang said to this hypocrite to make him so anxious.
Prince Yueqing kept yelling for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. After a while, someone probably couldn't stand it anymore, so they came over and said, "Stop making noise," and then turned and left.
…
at the same time.
Yang Wen has already delivered the painting to the emperor in the imperial study.
Looking at the painting in front of him, the emperor examined it carefully and found nothing special.
If there's anything special about it, it's that the painting seems particularly ugly to him.
[Hahaha, I suddenly realized that King Yueqing is like a wild monster in the game, and it can drop something different every time.]
[The jade pendant dropped when I was forced to drink, the key dropped when I was boating with Yang Xin, and now even the ore has dropped.]
[The Prince of Yueqing must be regretting his decision now. If he hadn't been so clever as to give the painting to Yang Xinkuang, it probably wouldn't have been lost.]
[No, it will still be lost, haha, but it won’t be lost so quickly.]
"Master Yang, please step back first."
The emperor waved his hand to let Yang Wen leave, and looked at the painting with a sigh.
【Why does the tyrant sigh? 】
[I see. This feeling of knowing a painting has a hidden meaning but being unable to decipher it is probably the same as the feeling of helplessness a eunuch feels while visiting a brothel.]
[Eunuch Cao should be very aware of this feeling.]
emperor:"……"
Luo'er, is it necessary to describe it so aptly?
At this time, the guard came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the princess requests an audience."
