1332 Seizing Power, Sun Sixing is Good
The man who came was none other than the leader of the personal soldiers of King Jiangnan. To be able to reach this position was not only a sign of his extraordinary strength, but also meant that he was a close confidant of King Jiangnan. Normally, no one except King Jiangnan could order him around, let alone ask him to run errands.
The fact that the leader of the personal guards of Prince Jiangnan could be asked to run errands meant that something big had happened in the Prince Jiangnan's mansion, or an important figure had arrived.
"The Ninth Prince is in the palace?" Prince Qing made a bold guess when he saw him coming.
Apart from this possibility, he really couldn't think of anything else that would make this person run errands.
The leader of the guards dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of Prince Qing. He said with a heavy face, "To reply to Prince Qing, the Ninth Prince arrived at the Prince of Jiangnan's Palace half an hour after the two princes left."
"What?" Prince Qing swayed and nearly fell down. "You said that the Ninth Prince arrived at the Prince of Jiangnan's Palace early in the morning?"
"To answer your question, Your Highness, yes." The leader of the personal guards lowered his head very low, for fear that Prince Qing would draw his sword and chop off his head in anger.
Prince Qing wanted to do so, but he knew that the other party was not at fault. Prince Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Why didn't you report it earlier?" He made them wait outside the city for five hours in vain.
"The Ninth Prince has ordered that no one in the palace is allowed to go out or leak any information. Anyone who violates the order will be killed!" The leader of the personal guards was also very miserable. It was really not his fault, and he had no choice.
"I understand. You may leave now." Prince Qing waved his hand weakly. No one dared to disobey the order of the Ninth Prince.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years." The leader of the personal guards was almost in tears. He thought he was dead this time, but he didn't expect to get through it so easily.
King Qing walked back to the stone pavilion with heavy steps. Seeing the listless looks of the people, his mood suddenly brightened up.
He was not the only one who was fooled by the Ninth Prince.
"Ziqing, what's wrong?" King Jiangnan saw King Qing was smiling strangely and had a bad feeling.
Ahem… Prince Qing cleared his throat, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's hear the bad news first, so that when we hear the good news, we can be happy." This group of people have become accustomed to this kind of nonsense and do not think there is anything wrong with what King Qing said.
With two unserious people, Chi Lianshui and the Valley Master, around, no one can be serious.
"Well, the bad news is that you have waited for a whole day in vain. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen will not come here today." Prince Qing said seriously, and no one thought about the subtext of his words.
"What? The Ninth Prince is not coming?" The Valley Master jumped up, looking like he was about to get angry: "I don't want to wait again tomorrow. Xiao Sixing is still waiting for me. I have to help Xiao Sixing dissect the corpse. No, no, I'm very busy..."
"My corpse worm cultivation has reached a critical period, and I won't have time to go out tomorrow." Guo Baoji interrupted slowly, his voice was not loud but it was impossible to ignore.
"Jinhan, didn't we say that we would go to inspect the construction of the teaching building tomorrow?" Yun Xiao was not to be outdone and immediately found an excuse.
Seeing that these people were busy, King Jiangnan suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do: "Ziqing, what are my plans for tomorrow?"
When King Qing heard the various strange reasons given by the crowd, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hahaha...Jiangnan is such a good place. Here they don't have to worry about whether there will be a war tomorrow. They don't have to wear masks all day long and engage in intrigue all day long. They just have to be themselves.
"Dong Ling Ziqing, you better be serious." Chi Lianshui was upset when he saw that King Qing stopped talking halfway through. "Isn't there some good news? Tell me what it is?"
"The good news is..." Prince Qing paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite before he said slowly, "The good news is that the Ninth Prince and
Feng Qingchen is in the palace, waiting for us to go back for dinner."
"What? The Ninth Prince has arrived?"
"How is that possible? We've been waiting for a whole day. I've carefully looked at every person who passed by. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen definitely didn't enter the city."
"Dong Ling Ziqing, this joke is not funny at all."
"Your Highness Prince Qing, are you crazy? Do you want to ask the Valley Master for some medicine?"
…
Prince Qing was not crazy, but Prince Jiangnan, Yun Xiao and the others were going crazy. They had been waiting here for a whole day and were almost waiting for their husbands. But...
The Ninth Prince actually played tricks on them. How could he do this?
Where is justice!
Seeing that everyone was becoming more and more unruly, Prince Qing had to remind them, "Be more serious. Don't let the officials and people of Jiangnan think that the Prince of Jiangnan and the teachers of the medical school are all crazy. You guys can stop making trouble. I have to go back to the palace first. The Ninth Prince said that everyone has half an hour to go back."
The last request was, of course, added by King Qing himself.
"Half an hour? Isn't this going to tire us to death? The palace is far from the city gate." King Jiangnan was about to cry. Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji were good at Qinggong, and the Valley Master, Yun Xiao and King Qing could ride horses, but what about him...
"Jinhan, what should we do?" King Jiangnan found someone who was as miserable as himself.
"Of course, get on the carriage and go back to the palace." Wang Jinhan shook off the prince and hurriedly got on the carriage: "Hurry, go back to the palace."
Wang Jinhan urged the coachman to hurry up without waiting for King Jiangnan to get on the carriage.
Someone must be left behind to vent the anger of the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen, and the King of Jiangnan is the best candidate.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, leaving the important task of venting anger to the King of Jiangnan. Even the King of Qing was very unkind and said, "Royal brother, you wish yourself the best. I will wait for you in the palace."
"drive……"
Soon, only one guard and King Jiangnan were left outside the city. Seeing King Jiangnan standing there, the leader of the guards had to remind him, "Your Highness, is the Ninth Prince still waiting for you?"
"Let's go." King Jiangnan said gritting his teeth.
These bastards. Back when he was still the crown prince, these people at least showed some respect to him on the surface, but now...
After coming to Jiangnan, this group of people didn't even put on a show, but he still thought it was normal!
He is indeed abnormal!
Prince Qing and others rode at full speed all the way, and even Wang Jinhan arrived at the palace within half an hour, except for Prince Jiangnan.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had already finished dinner and were waiting for everyone in the flower hall. Seeing everyone arriving one by one, until only the King of Jiangnan was left, the Ninth Prince asked, "Where is the King of Jiangnan?"
"My royal brother is on the way and will be here soon." Prince Qing gritted his teeth and stood up to answer.
It's only been a few months since we last met, but the Ninth Prince's aura seems to have become even stronger. Perhaps it's not that the Ninth Prince has become stronger, but that he has lived too comfortably in Jiangnan.
"I've been waiting for you all day." The Ninth Prince complained first. The Valley Master and the others opened their mouths to explain, but the Ninth Prince did not give them a chance and continued, "Looking at how plump and beautiful you all are, I guess the soil and water in the south of the Yangtze River are very nourishing, and you've all become lazy. You're not in the palace all day, traveling around. Sun Sixing is the only one in the huge palace."
When this hat was put on, King Qing was completely dumbfounded.
It’s so unfair, they are so wronged!
They were clearly waiting for the Ninth Prince outside the city, so how did it become a sightseeing trip...
But... Prince Qing looked at the serious and handsome face of the Ninth Prince and lowered his head obediently.
Some things, even if you know them well, you still need a good reason to do them, a reason that everyone can take for granted. Now is the perfect opportunity, and my brother should be satisfied...
