Chapter 508 Feng Dansi went out alone
Liang Zhongling is naturally a righteous man. Those who plot treason must be severely punished.
Emperor Kaiyuan was satisfied: "I don't want any other accidents to happen."
"I understand, old minister!"
The auspicious day for the enthronement was chosen to be one month later. The entire court was busy with this matter. Even in various places where war was raging, officials prepared generous gifts to welcome the new emperor of Southern Xia.
Emperor Kaiyuan was full of ambition and wanted to handle the wars diligently, but he was physically unable to do so.
I fell seriously ill during the hottest days of summer.
Some people say that Emperor Kaiyuan was unable to suppress his good fortune.
Some people were afraid that Emperor Kaiyuan would have health problems again, so they directly advised him to expand his harem to include more concubines and expand the Southern Xia family.
"These old bastards!"
Emperor Kaiyuan threw a memorial on the ground, feeling really depressed.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This is human nature. Besides, Your Majesty should pay attention to the future of Southern Xia." Liang Zhongling persuaded.
Emperor Kaiyuan cast a meaningful look at the other person. "Does Liang Zhongling also think so? Does that family have a suitable candidate?"
Liang Zhongling felt a chill on his back, and before he could say anything, he heard a burst of laughter coming from above.
"I was just joking. As long as we follow the court rules, if there is a candidate from Lord Liang's family, I will treat him with respect!"
Liang Zhongling smiled sadly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
During the conversation between the king and his ministers, each of them had shameful thoughts in his heart.
Shortly after Liang Zhongling left, Emperor Kaiyuan shouted into the air, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Liang family. I want to know everything!"
"yes!"
…
Liang Zhongling felt that Emperor Kaiyuan must have noticed something. After repeated attempts to test him recently, it seemed that the Liang family had to be extremely careful about its future situation.
We must not fail at the last moment.
But just as he was being extremely cautious, news of something bad happened in the cell where the eldest prince was being guarded.
The person is gone!
Gone without a trace!
Liang Zhongling hurried to the Sky Prison and saw the empty cells of the eldest prince and Duke Xu.
"What are you doing? You've been under strict surveillance, yet someone escaped. I think every one of you is a suspect!"
He had just promised that there would be no accidents, but now he was slapped in the face.
Moreover, if the eldest prince escapes, he will definitely not behave himself, and with Duke Xu...
It makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.
Liang Zhongling did not dare to hide the truth and entered the palace again late at night. As expected, he was scolded.
"Lord Liang, I entrusted this matter to you because I trusted you. You truly disappoint me!"
"Alright, I'll give you half a month. If you can't find the boss and Duke Xu, you..." Emperor Kaiyuan gave him a deep look, "You've worked so hard all these years, it's time to rest at home for a while."
"Your Majesty?" Liang Zhongling was stunned. Was he going to be dismissed from his post?
It has to be said that for the first time, Liang Zhongling felt so clearly what it meant when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked!
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and his Liang family has become the second Luo family?
However, it is impossible to kick the Liang family out so easily!
Liang Zhongling hid the darkness in his eyes and said, "This old minister will send someone to find him right away. I will definitely not let your majesty down!"
…
An invisible layer of smoke filled the capital.
Zhu Mingqing, who caused all this, met the missing eldest prince.
"Who are you?" When the eldest prince woke up, he found that he was no longer in the sky prison. He thought he was rescued by someone.
But looking at the calm expression and unfamiliar look of the person opposite, it was obvious that he was not one of them.
The eldest prince was on guard.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "I saved you for a reason. In less than a month, the Third Prince will ascend the throne. Will the First Prince really be willing to abdicate and let someone else take over?"
The eldest prince was stunned. He had been in prison for a long time and didn't expect that the third prince was about to ascend the throne.
"So what if I'm unwilling? Now I'm a prince..." He sneered, "I'm no longer the eldest prince. I'm just a wanted criminal!"
Zhu Mingqing added, "Duke Xu is also in the next room. If the eldest prince really gives up so easily, then I'll just assume I've made a mistake. Please do as you please!"
"Wait!" The eldest prince immediately became alert. "Duke Xu was also saved by the Madam?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "How about this? Do you want to make a deal with me?"
The eldest prince had nothing to lose at the moment: "You say!"
"I don't want the eldest prince to sacrifice his life. I just want him to harass the third prince from time to time. If he has a hard time, then I'll be happy!"
"So simple?"
“It’s that simple!”
Of course the eldest prince agreed. Although the chances were slim, as long as the third prince was unhappy during his reign, he might still have a chance.
He didn't suffer much in the cell, but it was different for Duke Xu next door. He was able to endure the torture until now, relying on his youth and background.
The two were unable to leave, so they had to rest in the courtyard first.
Zhu Mingqing had no intention of raising them in vain, so he let the eldest prince be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing.
This caused the eldest prince, who had grown up in luxury, to suffer a lot.
The days passed by slowly and the time for rescuing people came.
"Ma'am, great news!"
Dou Duoduo ran back excitedly and whispered, "The young lady of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion has gone out! I heard she went to the temple to worship Buddha!"
The eldest prince, who was cooking nearby, twitched his ears. Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?
Zhu Mingqing realized that there was no intention to avoid the other party, so he stood up and kicked the thick firewood: "Cut two more pieces!"
After saying that, he took Dou Duoduo away.
Just as the eldest prince was about to go and talk to Duke Xu, he was pushed back to his original position by the secret guards who suddenly appeared and continued to chop wood and make a fire.
depressed!
But in order to survive, he dared not say a word.
Zhu Mingqing's carriage quickly left the capital and, following the instructions of the little world spirit, followed Feng Dansi's carriage not far away.
"She went out today, and besides the guards, she only brought an elderly maid with her?"
Zhu Mingqing touched his chin, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Could it be that I will meet Feng Dansi’s old lover today?
Tsk, that’s really exciting.
"Madam, it's absolutely true!" Dou Duoduo said, "But before leaving the house, it seemed that the young lady's husband also wanted to go with us, but was rejected!"
Feng Dansi's husband, the illegitimate son of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, became the crown prince because of his wife.
Now he is riding a horse and following behind.
But Zhu Mingqing didn't know him.
But when their carriage was stopped and the other party revealed their identity, she almost jumped out of the carriage in shock.
So, the husband was following his wife, but got tired halfway and wanted her, a bystander, to give him a ride?
The prince of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion has a handsome appearance, but he exudes a sense of weakness.
"Thank you for your trouble, Madam. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
The prince of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion sat in the front of the carriage and did not dare to approach it, but handed in a fine jade pendant.
Zhu Mingqing took it with a smile.
I thought to myself, if I see something I shouldn’t see later, as long as you don’t blame me, that’s fine.
