Chapter 240 The Second Prince Instigated

It seemed that he saw the shock on Song Qingyan and Lu Xingwan's faces at the same time, which made Guo Yueshao feel less uneasy.

Then he explained: "Don't worry, Madam, I will never be obsessed with Song Zhuo. If he still can't let go of Miss Qionghua after he comes back, I will definitely give up."

[Are all people of your generation so infatuated? ]

[First, there was Song Zhuo who fell in love with Sister Qionghua at first sight, and now there is Guo Yueshao who is obsessed with Song Zhuo. ]

Song Qingyan was moved by Guo Yueshao's words, but she thought of a key question: "Your father..."

"I have already informed my parents," Guo Yueshao looked a little aggrieved, "My father has confined me to the courtyard. If it weren't for the queen summoning me today, I would not have been able to come out!"

Song Qingyan actually does not agree with Guo Yueshao's approach.

Speaking of which, Guo Yueshao is one of the most outstanding women in the capital, so why would she be so dependent on Song Zhuo?

Three years later, no matter how good a woman Rao was, she was still wasted.

But matters of the heart are always hard to explain. Since she has made this choice, I will support her.

"Don't worry, three years later, if Song Zhuo doesn't choose you..."

Before Song Qingyan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Guo Yueshao: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of forcing him."

Song Qingyan smiled when she heard this: "Don't worry, that's not what I meant."

"If she doesn't choose you after three years, I will adopt you as my adopted daughter and let you marry in style from my palace."

Guo Yueshao had not expected that the Imperial Concubine would be so supportive of him. He immediately knelt down, his voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After meeting Guo Yueshao, Song Qingyan let go of her thoughts.

A few days later, Song Zhuo set off with his father to the western camp.

Something big happened in Longsheng Palace that night.

The Great Chu Emperor was staying in Concubine Lan's palace that day, but Meng Quande stopped him on the way and said, "Your Majesty, Ying Yi is here."

The Emperor of Great Chu even forgot to say a word to Concubine Lan and went to Longsheng Palace.

Yingyi's coming at this time must be something big.

It was indeed a big deal. The Dragon Shadow Guards had recently been interrogating the two assassins who were captured at the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet that day.

The interrogation and investigation did take some time, but finally the results came out today.

It was the Second Prince who ordered it.

This was the first time that the Emperor of Chu lost his composure and almost fell off his chair.

But my mind was working rapidly. Jin Yu was the male protagonist of the story mentioned by Wanwan.

He is indeed someone who is interested in the throne.

And in the script told by Wanwan, it was indeed Jin Yu who finally obtained the throne, although it was after going through a lot of hardships.

Could it be that now, because the prince is favored, he has that kind of thought again?

But Jinyu doesn't seem like that kind of kid, how could he...

The Great Chu Emperor's mind became increasingly confused, and he was about to walk towards Qingyun Palace.

But when he walked to the gate of Longsheng Palace, he suddenly stopped. Jin Yu and the others should have a very good relationship with Qingyan and Wanwan, so would Wanwan tell him the truth?

Most emperors are probably like this, suspicious and paranoid.

Even if it was his favorite concubine and his most beloved daughter, he had to be cautious when it came to his own safety.

Finally, he sighed and returned to Longsheng Palace.

That night, the Emperor of Chu almost stayed awake all night.

Naturally, there were people in Yanhe Palace who couldn't sleep well.

Concubine Lan waited for the Emperor of Great Chu for a long time, but when he did not come, she ordered people to heat up the food and invited the second prince and the third princess to have dinner together.

"Your father originally said he would come to dine with you," Concubine Lan said as she picked up some food for the two children, "but I guess he was so busy with government affairs that he forgot."

"It would be a shame to clear away all the food on the table, so I asked you two to come and have dinner with me."

The second prince has been living in Yanhe Palace and has long been accustomed to this.

Firstly, my mother wasn't very favored, and secondly, she didn't want to compete for favor, so it was common for my father to agree during the day and forget about it at night.

"In this case, I am really benefiting from my father's kindness." The second prince picked up the food in front of him and ate it, not affected at all.

The third princess looked at the mother and son and sneered in her heart: Look at how cowardly they are. Who knows, the emperor might have been intercepted by some vixen on the way. The mother and son don't even think about how to get the person back, but are still thinking about eating and drinking here.

If it were his own mother, he would have rushed out long ago.

But she didn't show it on her face: "Second brother is right."

However, because she felt uneasy, she ate quickly and returned to her own palace as soon as she was done.

Suddenly, only Concubine Lan and the Second Prince and his mother were left.

Because the Second Prince had been busy with government affairs beside the Crown Prince, the mother and son had not sat together for a meal for a long time. Concubine Lan couldn't help but ask with concern: "How have you been these days?"

Lu Jinyu just nodded: "Don't worry, mother. The prince treats me very well. I have really learned a lot from him."

He had always looked down on the Crown Prince, so he didn't know much about him.

Having been with the prince for these days, I have truly witnessed his insight and methods, and have become more determined to support him.

"Just yesterday, my father gave me a new case to investigate." What the Emperor of Great Chu gave to the Second Prince was the case of the Minister of Revenue suing the Minister of Personnel for selling official positions and titles. He had been busy all day today and had almost finished investigating the matter.

Because it involved specific political affairs, the Second Prince did not say much to Concubine Lan, but just briefly mentioned it.

Seeing the Second Prince's excited look when he talked about the Crown Prince, Concubine Lan was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Given the prince's virtue, if he ascends the throne, he will definitely give Jin Yu a good "home".

At that time, whether to appoint a leisurely prince to his own fiefdom or to support Jin Yao in the capital, both would be good choices.

At the morning court on the second day, the Second Prince reported what he had found out from the Ministry of Personnel in a proper manner.

Also going to investigate was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, who was Shen Ning's father.

The Grand Court Minister also filled in some omissions in the Second Prince's words.

It's nothing more than that the evidence is conclusive and the person has been detained in the Dali Temple, awaiting the punishment of Your Majesty.

The Third Prince was not guilty of false accusation in the first place, as the Minister of Personnel had behaved in this way, so he was not wronged.

But in order to deal with the matter as quickly as possible, the Third Prince's people put a lot of evidence out in the open, so the Second Prince's progress was so fast.

After hearing what the second prince said, the Emperor of Great Chu simply praised him.

But in my mind I was thinking about what Shadow reported last night.
