Chapter 274 You are such a bad person, I really like you~
Jiang Tinghuai's palm was far away from Jiang Yingcheng, seemingly letting the young man watch freely, but in fact...
【Just like that?】
Jiang Yingcheng was almost stunned!
She looked up at her prince brother with a dazed expression, her round almond-shaped eyes full of accusations: [If you don’t want Cheng Cheng to see it, just say so! Prince brother, just say so!!]
She ground the spices herself.
In order to hide the curative medicines redeemed from the Merit Mall, she ground every spice into very fine pieces so that the medicinal residue could be perfectly blended into them.
This also made it convenient for Kou Qiwen to hide the poison powder perfectly.
However——
Jiang Yingcheng exhaled heavily from his nose, expressing his dissatisfaction strongly: [Even if I don't let Chengcheng see it, Chengcheng still has a way! ]
As long as it is confirmed that Kou Qiwen had indeed replaced the original with a fake, no matter what happened in between, she will always find a way to convict him!
Before she opened her mouth, Jiang Yingcheng clung to her grandfather Kan's shoulders, stretched her neck, and looked out to observe the situation.
[Are the kings not looking at this? 】
A group of clear streams with kind smiles.
Don't worry, little prince. Those who can hear your thoughts have automatically started acting mode. However, they are here to cooperate with you, while Emperor Mingze is outside, responsible for attracting the attention of the envoys.
Although they thought so, they still moved their feet slightly and moved closer to each other.
Seeing that this place was airtight and there didn't seem to be anyone outside trying to pry their heads in, Jiang Yingcheng turned around with relief.
The sound of Naihuhu was heard on the ground: "Where are the golden beans? Where are the golden beans that Chengcheng put inside?!"
Kou Qiwen was stunned: "What?"
Jiang Tinghuai almost asked out loud: What golden beans? !
Why would someone put gold beans in a sachet?!
Is this really not a scam?!
Jiang Yingcheng raised his arm almost subconsciously, patted the place within his reach, and said in a more serious tone: "Gold! Beans!"
After patting twice, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His indignant voice paused, and he stroked the place he had just patted twice with a little guilt.
[Grandpa Kan, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt~]
When he raised his head again, he looked like a little bully again: "The sachet was made by Chengcheng himself. There were three golden beans stuffed in it. After it passed through your hands, the golden beans disappeared. What do you say?!"
What do you say when someone steals from the prince?
Yi Qingliu pinched his palms hard, trying his best to suppress the smile on his lips.
The little guy's "bumping into porcelain" plan has been retired for a long time, and they have not been seen for quite a long time. Now, finally, someone who can't hear the little guy's voice will experience the mystery firsthand...
Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it!
All the ministers looked at Kou Qiwen, who was standing opposite the young man, with eager anticipation.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Kou Qiwen stammered for a long time before finally uttering, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty really does not know where the golden beans inside have gone."
The tone of the sentence was extremely difficult, and it looked like a string of swear words were swallowed hard.
Hu Hongyuan, the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, poked the loyal general standing next to him and whispered very loudly: "I have seen too many corrupt officials, but this is the first time I have seen someone setting his sights on the prince. Lord Kou is truly a role model for our generation!"
Zhongwu General Gao Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly excitement flashed in his eyes!
He immediately understood Hu Hongyuan's intention and replied cheerfully: "Don't talk about you, Lord Hu. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ever experienced such a thing?!"
Having said that, he looked at this colleague whom he was not very familiar with with admiration. The meaning in his eyes can basically be summarized as follows -
You are such a bad person.
I really like it.
Seeing this, all the ministers present wisely joined the army in denouncing the crime!
"It's understandable," said General Lei Zhixin of Gui De with a look of disdain, leaning his head towards the two men, "Lord Kou's very capable younger brother spends a lot of money every day, so as an elder brother, I naturally have to find a way to make money!"
Minister of Finance Jiao Hongmiao also came over and said, "If you ask me, these two people look so similar, how can we confirm it..."
How can we be sure that Kou Qiwen has never been there once? !
He glanced at Kou Qiwen, who was surrounded by them, with a narrow look in his eyes. Everyone immediately understood and said "Oh" in a sarcastic tone.
It's dirty for you civil officials to curse people!
Kou Qiwen clenched his hands tightly under his wide sleeves and accidentally pulled his injured wrist, causing him to look grim in pain.
hiss!
Do we no longer need to avoid the person we are talking about when we say something bad about him?!
Who is missing those golden beans? !
Are we all as ignorant as you poor ghosts? !
——Of course he couldn't say this, nor could he reach out to confirm whether there were three golden beans in the sachet. He could only grit his teeth and carefully explain: "Your Highness! I really didn't change the sachet. Maybe... maybe your Highness remembered it wrong?!"
Jiang Tinghuai poured the powder in his hand back into the sachet, lowered his head, took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his palms: "The sachet was given to me by Xiao Shiyi herself. I have been wearing it for only a little over a month. Xiao Shiyi is in the period of her strongest memory. How could she misremember what happened in such a short time?"
He was not sure whether there were really three golden beans in the sachet, but...
Who cares?!
Kou Qiwen choked, and the panic in his heart burst out, and was about to drown him!
In the face of a huge crisis, he blurted out, "Your Highness! Envoys from all countries are here today. Do you really want to make a big fuss over these three golden beans whose existence is uncertain?!"
The expression on Kou Qiwen's face, as if he was forced into a desperate situation, was extremely ferocious, as if he was ready to explode in the next breath and make the situation irreversible!
"No~"
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly lowered his voice: "Why is it such a commotion?!"
Kou Qiwen was delighted, but just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain from behind. He turned around and looked around, but found that no one was within his reach.
Kou Qiwen: “???”
He didn't care and tried to speak again, but no sound came out after trying for a long time.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him like a ghost, and quickly reached for the secret pocket inside his sleeve. Kou Qiwen finally reacted belatedly and wanted to resist immediately!
And then——
There was another sharp pain on his back, and his movements were blocked tightly!
Kou Qiwen, with only his eyeballs still able to move, looked at the man in horror as he took out the sachet from his secret bag and slowly walked towards the direction of the prince.
On the way, he secretly stuffed three golden beans into it!
Kou Qiwen: “…”
Kou Qiwen: “???”
