"No need to apologize. There's no point asking an innocent person to apologize for the wrongs done by a bad person."
Prince Kang smiled and looked at Leng Zhuning.
"I wonder if the Prime Minister has decided how to deal with that couple? The arson case is now over.
Even if we investigate, we won’t be able to find out what connection that couple has with the arson case, and they will probably be released tonight.”
Leng Zhuning nodded, "I will send someone to take them away, far away."
"Well, thank you, Prime Minister."
In the evening, as King Kang had said, Jiang Dayong and his wife were released by the government.
The people sent by Leng Zhuning immediately took the couple away from the capital.
From now on, we will never let them set foot in the capital again!
At the same time, Prince Gong’s Mansion.
"You're useless! You can't even handle such a small matter!"
Prince Gong roared and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
His chest heaved with anger.
"It seems that the Prime Minister is really on the side of King Kang!"
His secret guard stood by silently, and only spoke after Prince Gong had vented enough.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has already sent Jiang Dayong and his wife away from the capital. We have no choice but to find a new solution."
"Of course I know I need to find a new way! But the way I need is one that can crush King Kang underfoot in one fell swoop, making it impossible for him to ever get up and oppose me!
Instead of this method that won't cause any harm to him at all!"
Prince Gong gritted his teeth and was so angry that he felt dizzy.
The secret guard lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a fool."
Prince Gong lay down and relaxed for a while, then suddenly remembered something.
"I remember that the illegitimate son of the Minister of Rites and the fourth son of Prince Kang are good friends?"
Secret Guard: "Yes, these two are inseparable and have a very good relationship."
Prince Gong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tell the Minister of Rites to find a chance to see me tomorrow night."
"yes."
The next evening, the Minister of Rites quietly entered Prince Gong's Mansion through the back door.
The Minister of Rites, who was familiar with the Prince Gong's Mansion, came to the door of Prince Gong's bedroom and knocked gently.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Come in."
After the Minister of Rites entered, he closed the door, bowed to Prince Gong who was still lying on the bed, and sat down at the table.
"I heard that the Minister's illegitimate son and the fourth son of King Kang are good friends?"
Prince Gong asked an ambiguous question, then sat up on the bed and leaned against the headboard.
"Yes, my son and the fourth young master of Prince Kang's Mansion are indeed good friends."
The Minister of Rites did not know what Prince Gong meant by asking this question, but he answered honestly.
"If your son were asked to do something bad to Prince Kang's Mansion, would he be willing?"
Prince Gong's question gave the Minister of Rites some vague guesses.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't have a very good relationship with you. If I ask you to do something that is detrimental to Prince Kang's Mansion, I'm afraid you will directly tell the Fourth Young Master of Prince Kang's Mansion about it.
It would be better to leave this matter to my legitimate son. My legitimate son Dong Lin is the opposite of his half-brother Dong Zhuo. He does not like the fourth young master of Prince Kang's Mansion.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the two brothers became strained."
Prince Gong raised an eyebrow. "In that case, I'll leave this matter to your son. The Minister will give the things inside to your son and ask him to find a way to bury them in the soil of Prince Kang's mansion."
As he spoke, Prince Gong took out a black wooden box with a small lock from beside his pillow.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Rites stood up and walked over to take the black wooden box with both hands.
"Yes, I will definitely let my son take care of this matter!"
The Minister of Rites returned to the mansion with the black wooden box and asked someone to call his eldest son to the study.
"I wonder why the father called his son over here?"
Dong Lin is two years older than Dong Zhuo. Compared to Dong Zhuo who looks like his biological mother, Dong Lin looks more like his father.
This is also one of the reasons why the Minister of Rites favors this legitimate son more.
"Lin'er, how's your relationship with Zhuo'er been lately?"
The Minister of Rites tapped the lid of the black wooden box with his fingertips and asked slowly.
When Dong Lin heard the name Dong Zhuo, a hint of impatience immediately flashed across his eyes.
"Father, I'm trying hard to improve my relationship with my younger brother, but he seems to be quite hostile towards me. Whether at home or at the Imperial Academy, he's deliberately distancing himself from me."
"Is that so, Lin'er? I won't hide it from you. Our Dong Mansion needs to have a closer relationship with Prince Kang's Mansion.
Although your brother has a good relationship with the Fourth Young Master of Prince Kang's Mansion, the Fourth Young Master of Prince Kang's Mansion has some complaints against us because of the harsh treatment your brother received in the past.
But we can only improve our relationship with Prince Kang's Mansion through the Fourth Young Master.
So... your father hopes that Lin'er can find a way to build a good relationship with Zhuo'er and the Fourth Young Master. It would be great if you could go to Prince Kang's Mansion with Zhuo'er to visit the Fourth Young Master."
After the Minister of Rites finished speaking, he tapped the lid of the black wooden box with his fingertips.
"When the time comes, you will take this wooden box with you and bury it in the courtyard of Prince Kang's mansion without being discovered by anyone."
Dong Lin frowned slightly.
His eyes fell on the black wooden box.
This thing doesn't look like a good one.
"Father, you want to build a good relationship with Prince Kang's Mansion, but you let your son bury this thing in Prince Kang's Mansion?
What's inside? What if someone from Prince Kang's Mansion finds out?
Although Dong Lin is young, he is also very cautious. He would not dare to act rashly unless he could guarantee that he could escape unscathed.
The Minister of Rites looked at his legitimate son with admiration.
"Lin'er, you truly are worthy of being my legitimate son! But don't worry, I won't harm you.
As long as you can bury this black wooden box without being discovered by the people in Prince Kang's Mansion, it will be fine.
The rest is up to the Father to do.
Even if someone from Prince Kang's palace finds this black wooden box... by then, the matter will have nothing to do with our Dong family."
The words of the Minister of Rites were profound, and Dong Lin seemed to understand them but not quite.
But he knew that this was something only he could do.
Dong Zhuo could not do this.
.........
Imperial College.
After Dong Lin failed to talk to Dong Zhuo for the third time, he fell into deep thought.
He, Dong Zhuo and Song Le'an were not in the same class, so it was difficult for him and Song Le'an to communicate with each other.
In addition to his relationship with Dong Zhuo, Song Le'an basically ignored him.
To go to Prince Kang's Mansion smoothly with Song Le'an, or to go to Prince Kang's Mansion with Dong Zhuo, Song Le'an and others.
It is a very difficult thing to do.
What should I do then?
After thinking about it for a whole class, Dong Lin came up with an idea.
Two hours later.
Song Le'an was soaking wet and sneezed twice. Dong Lin stood in front of Song Le'an, holding a wooden bucket with little water left, with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song. I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to water the garden, but I didn't expect you to walk in here. I poured a bucket of water on you."
Dong Lin said that he didn't mean it, but when he saw Song Le'an sneezing continuously, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
