Fengyu Villa is not far from Prince An's Mansion, only two streets away. Gu Qingtong would come to talk to Meiya whenever he had time, and Meiya would also go to Gu Qingtong to keep him company from time to time. With the Imperial Guards following secretly, Zhong Mingwei was not worried about Meiya coming in and out.
"Sir, if His Majesty knew about the relationship between Mr. Chen and our palace, would it affect Mr. Chen's future?" Pang Yi asked worriedly, "Should we try to keep a distance from Mr. Chen and Miss Gu in the future, so as not to affect Mr. Chen's future?"
"No need," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, "Chen Qingxuan was born in Ningguta, which has been a mark for a long time. If you ask a little, you will know that he is familiar with us. This cannot be concealed. If you deliberately avoid meeting Mr. Chen to avoid suspicion, it will arouse the suspicion of His Majesty. Now it's good to meet and walk around normally."
"That's right. Chenjiatun is such a small place. If I don't recognize Mr. Chen, it would be ridiculous." Pang Yi nodded, but his expression did not relax. He looked at Zhong Mingwei and said, "But since Mr. Chen is familiar with me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to see him. I don't know what the result of the palace examination will be."
"I am very optimistic about Mr. Chen." Zhong Mingwei said slowly, taking a sip of tea.
"What do you mean?" Pang Yi looked puzzled.
"His Majesty summoned me to the capital, saying openly that I came to attend the funeral of the Queen Mother, but in fact he wanted me to stay in the capital for a long time. What is his plan?" Zhong Mingwei said indifferently, "Prince Hui is useless, the Fourth Prince is young and has done nothing, and he and Prince Rong are brothers from the same mother, so now Prince Rong is the only one in power in the court, which is not a good thing. My father asked me to return to the capital at this time, of course, he wanted to use me to balance the situation in the capital, and naturally he would be willing to use Chen Qingxuan, who is familiar with me."
"What? Do you think that His Majesty does not want Prince Rong to be the Crown Prince? Otherwise, why would he be on guard against Prince Rong everywhere?" Pang Yi asked curiously.
"I don't know whether he wants Prince Rong to be the crown prince or not. I just know that he will hold on to that piece of gold until his death. Before that, he will never allow his imperial power to be threatened in the slightest, especially when such a threat comes from a prince who is younger and stronger than him," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, curling his lips sarcastically, and then said, "Besides, don't you know what kind of temper Prince Rong has? He is the most restless. For the past six months, he has been confronting Prince Hui head-on. I'm afraid Your Highness must have been fed up. Now Prince Hui is useless, and Prince Rong is even more complacent. It is reasonable for Your Highness to suppress him."
"But if we keep suppressing Prince Rong, I'm afraid it will arouse Prince Rong's dissatisfaction, right?" Pang Yi pondered and said, "Prince Rong has never been a good person."
"What does that have to do with us?" Zhong Mingwei took a sip and said calmly, "I don't care who sits on the dragon throne, as long as he doesn't get his hands on my little piece of land."
"Pang Yi! Pang Yi!" Mei Ya and Gu Qingtong came in. Mei Ya walked up to Pang Yi as if to ask for credit. She handed the carved box in her hand to Pang Yi and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look."
"This... what is this?" Pang Yi was surprised. He looked at the carved box in front of him, and then looked at Mei Ya.
"You'll know if you open it and take a look," Meiya urged him, unable to conceal her excitement. "Hurry up, don't dawdle like this."
"Oh," Pang Yi was confused, but he still opened the carved box obediently. Then he was stunned. He stared at the items in the carved box for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Mei Ya with gratitude, "Thank you, ma'am."
