On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

In addition, before Fu Jingrong came to Beijing, Prince Dingbei had already sent him a letter roughly explaining the situation, which was almost the same as what Fu Jingrong had told him. Therefore, Emperor Mingqing did not doubt Fu Jingrong's words too much.

Now, he just wanted to find out as soon as possible the troublemaker or even a group of troublemakers who were trying to bring disaster to the court.

Fu Jingrong told the truth, "I will use the Ninth Prince's hand to enter the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Before that, Jingrong would like to ask the Emperor to find a reason to withdraw the marriage between General Su's daughter and the Duke of Gu's Mansion."

"Asshole, the marriage between the second branch of the Marquis of Changping and the Duke of Gu has been going on for three years, and the wedding is about to be completed. You asked me to do this. Isn't this asking..."

Emperor Mingqing stopped talking halfway, his eyes narrowed slowly, "You mean, the Marquis of Changping Mansion and the Duke of Gu Mansion..."

"I have only found some clues. I can only guess that General Su is very likely to have helped the Marquis of Changping."

Speaking of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, Fu Jingrong's thin lips curled up into a meaningful smile, "I have encountered a very interesting situation since I entered Luojing. When the people mentioned the Marquis of Changping Mansion, they praised the first branch of the Marquis of Changping, but they kept scolding the second branch of the Marquis of Changping Mansion.

There was a fire in the second room of the Marquis of Changping's mansion tonight. The Marquis of Changping took advantage of the fire to attack the second room, trying to force the adopted daughter of the first room to be a disciple of the second room. If I am not mistaken, they should be trying to change the situation. By then, everything will be a foregone conclusion. The second room of the Marquis of Changping's mansion will probably be the one to suffer the loss and be scolded..."

"They do this kind of thing right under my nose. Do they think I'm blind?" Emperor Ming Qing slammed the imperial desk.

Because he used too much force, the mountain of memorials on the imperial desk were shaken and fell to the ground.

Fu Jingrong ignored everything in front of him, and even the tone of his voice did not change at all. "Your Majesty can ask the Ninth Prince about what happened tonight. The Second House has been oppressed tonight and has no way to leave the house and be independent. It's better for the Ninth Prince to come forward to help..."

Ninth Prince?

"Why is Old Nine here too?" Emperor Mingqing frowned at first, but soon he was relieved, "Never mind, that kid is not a quiet person. Tonight, he accidentally helped me share my worries."

"Su Kang is still at the border, and they are so impatient to make trouble for his daughter's wedding. Su Qishun is trying to slap me in the face."

Emperor Mingqing did not hesitate to express his dissatisfaction with the Marquis of Changping's Mansion in front of Fu Jingrong.

Fu Jingrong lowered his eyes, his thick and long eyelashes cast a shadow, hiding the sarcasm in his eyes.

Seeing that Fu Jingrong didn't say anything, Emperor Ming Qing reached out and touched his thick beard, as if he was thinking deeply.

After a while, he spoke, "I can't rashly issue an order to cancel their engagement, but since the second branch of the Marquis of Changping Mansion has plans to establish itself, I think they are also dissatisfied with the actions of the Marquis of Changping Mansion. In this case, this marriage will definitely have twists and turns. I promise you that no matter how the second branch of the Marquis of Changping Mansion makes trouble, I will not punish their family. If the Marquis of Changping Mansion or the Duke of Gu's Mansion come to me for help, I will let them cancel their engagement. Is that okay?"

Having obtained the expected result, Fu Jingrong politely bowed to Emperor Mingqing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingqing waved his hand at him, still muttering to himself, "This Su Qishun, I really underestimated him, but he is also strange. Even if he is a replacement bride, according to blood relationship, he should let a concubine's daughter marry instead. Letting an adopted daughter marry instead, what kind of thing is this?"

Fu Jingrong didn't say anything else.

Just as he was about to leave, Emperor Mingqing stopped him.

I was so busy talking about business that I didn't have time to take a good look at this nephew whom I haven't seen for nearly twenty years.

Different from the soft and sticky ball when I was three years old.

The person in front of me is tall and straight, and just standing there, his elegance is enough to make it impossible to ignore his presence.

However, look further up.

It is a face that is extremely beautiful but also has a bit of innocence that shows it is ignorant of the world.

Just looking at this face, no one would think it is a man's face, and the age of the face is definitely not more than eighteen years old.

He was in a trance, as if time had gone back twenty years.

I couldn't help but ask, "Jingrong, how old are you this year?"

This look was just like what he saw when Princess Dingbei dressed as a man.

"...Your Majesty, I am already twenty-three years old this year."

It was clearly just a helpless remark, but Emperor Ming Qing heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in it.

Then I thought of the sense of generation difference between this face and a particularly mature face standing next to it.

Emperor Mingqing pretended to cough and swallowed back his smile with difficulty.

"Okay, go back and follow your arrangements. If you need help, just look for Lao Jiu."

Fu Jingrong took his leave respectfully. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something important and turned to look at Emperor Mingqing again. "Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate a clue before. The clues I found were in Duke Gu's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion. Then there was the matter of Yumen City. I am too busy to investigate further. Tomorrow there will probably be a memorial impeaching the Ninth Prince. Your Majesty can look for the connection between those officials and Duke Gu's Mansion among the officials who impeach the Ninth Prince tomorrow. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

The smile that had finally appeared in Emperor Mingqing's eyes disappeared again because of Fu Jingrong's words.

"I understand."

...

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Shoukang Hall.

After Murong Qi and his group left, Su Qishun smashed a blue and white glazed tea cup with a twisted pattern.

"The Second House is really going too far."

It’s just a family matter, but they dare to let the Ninth Prince interfere.

Hong smiled coldly, "It's not the first day you've known this."

Zhao Qingwan sobbed softly and stepped forward, "Father, now that the Ninth Prince has intervened, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take action. If the Duke Gu's Mansion..."

"What are you afraid of?" Su Qishun glared at her in unbearable pain.

Everything happened because she lost her patience.

The two captured bandits and the dead bandit were already enough to give him a headache. Now the second branch was clamoring to move out and start their own family. The ninth prince was also trying to get involved in order to prevent chaos in the world...

He was very clear about the income and expenditure of the Changping Marquis' Mansion over the years.

If the second room is really moved out...

Thinking of this, Su Qishun couldn't help but clench his fists.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you take this unlucky thing off the ground?"

He vented all his anger on the servants and maids in Shoukang Hall.

After a flurry of activity.

Only Liang, Hong, Zhao Qingwan and Su Qishun were left in the front hall.

"No matter what, we can't let the second branch leave Changping Marquis Mansion so easily."
