Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince thought about it for a while, but still did not reveal the news he had obtained. If Lord Guarjia turned around and sold the news to the Crown Prince, he would not even have a place to cry. He could only say vaguely: "In life, people will always have seven emotions and six desires, and there will be gains and losses. Sir, don't you also worry about your relatives?"

This made Lord Guaerjia frown. The Fourth Prince would not be so ungentlemanly as to threaten Jiang Chen's mother! If that was the case, he could not give him any advice.

Seeing that Lord Guaerjia was silent, the Fourth Prince realized that he might have misunderstood, so he could only explain, "I heard that Jiang Xiuzhuan has another relative in his family, but he had an accident, and we have been looking for him for many years but have not heard from him."

Lord Guaerjia raised his eyebrows. None of these people should be underestimated. Even the seemingly weakest Fourth Prince had access to such secret information. Hiss! If the princes behind him all went to court to listen to government affairs, I dare not think about it. I can only hope that the emperor lives longer!

"If this is true, it is indeed a good way to win over Jiang Xiuzhuan." Lord Guaerjia agreed with the Fourth Prince's idea.

The Fourth Prince also put forward his own request: "It's just that I don't even have the opportunity to interact with him openly now, I can only sigh helplessly."

Lord Guaerjia finally understood what the Fourth Prince wanted him to do. He had to contribute. He recalled the movements of the various mansions during this period and said to the Fourth Prince, "I heard that Lord Li's mother's health is not good. Logically, she should return home to observe mourning for three years. These three years are a great opportunity for Jiang Xiuzhuan to develop. The county magistrate is better off managing it now. The Fourth Master can help out."

The Fourth Prince followed Lord Guarjia's thinking and thought, "The Emperor has been gathering scholars from the south these years. I heard that he wants to call on the great scholars in the world to compile a book!"

Lord Guarjia nodded in agreement. "Lord Li has a bad reputation among scholars because of his past foolish deeds. It is not uncommon for someone to embarrass his apprentice because of his master."

This matter started with the "Wax Ball Memorial" case during the suppression of the Three Feudatories. Li Guangdi returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, but was summoned by Geng Jingzhong, who responded to Wu Sangui's rebellion, to be an official. Chen Menglei, who was in the same situation as him, and the two agreed that Chen Menglei would be the insider in Geng Jingzhong's mansion, and Li Guangdi would hide the news in a wax ball and pass it to Kangxi. The news contained both intelligence and strategies offered by Chen Menglei.

However, when Li Guangdi received the news, he deleted Chen Menglei's name and presented it to Kangxi as his own. With this information, the army won a great victory, but Chen Menglei was sentenced to prison for working for Geng Jingzhong, and Li Guangdi did not defend Chen Menglei.

In the end, Xu Qianxue, the Minister of Justice who knew the whole story, could not stand it anymore and repeatedly pleaded for Chen Menglei, which resulted in his sentence being commuted from death penalty to exile in Fengtian.

Regardless of the reasons behind this matter, Kangxi obviously believed Li Guangdi, and Chen Menglei could only wish for the best. But good news never goes out, but bad news travels a thousand miles, and everyone was discussing whether it was true or not, and whether Li Guangdi was a good person.

Let's talk about Xu Qianxue. He was good friends with a group of Ming Dynasty veterans, but he became a Manchu official for fame and fortune. He was ungrateful and was promoted by Mingzhu. He accepted Lan Xingde as his apprentice, and for his own future, he pointed his gun at Mingzhu. The aforementioned Mingzhu was dismissed in the 27th year because of Xu Qianxue.

The reason why Li Guangdi left Beijing was because Xu Qianxue got hold of Chen Menglei's handle and suppressed him vigorously, so he had no choice but to return home.

So everyone saw that it was Xu Qianxue who defended Chen Menglei, and they could not see whether Chen Menglei was innocent in this matter. This confusing case ended with one of the two protagonists being exiled and the other leaving Beijing.

Both sides had their own reasons, and Li Guangdi also pleaded for Chen Menglei in the end, indicating that Chen Menglei's claim that he was wronged was credible. Many scholars felt that Li Guangdi would sell out anything to climb the ladder, and they were ashamed to be associated with him.

Since Jiang Chen is Li Guangdi's disciple and has received various benefits, he must withstand the pressure from Li Guangdi's political enemies.

The Fourth Prince thought that the point raised by Lord Guarjia was a very good one. Since it was impossible to provide timely assistance, one could artificially create snow!

If Lord Guaerjia knew what the Fourth Prince was thinking, he would probably spit out blood. I am telling you the difficulties Jiang Chen may encounter, not asking you to dig a hole for him and then rescue him!

This discussion took up quite a bit of time, and it was time for the Fourth Prince to take his concubine, Guaerjia, back to the palace. Guaerjia washed and dressed again, but her slightly red eyes were a little obvious, but it was normal to cry when she returned home. As for the fact that her clothes were different, the Fourth Prince said he didn't care.

Of course, in order to express his gratitude to Lord Guaerjia, the Fourth Prince stayed in Yiran Courtyard at night.

Liu Youyou didn’t care where the Fourth Prince slept. She went to bed early, closed her eyes and entered the simulated space.

The next day, the maid who was keeping an eye on the front yard said that the Fourth Prince had returned home and was handling official business in the study. Liu Youyou gestured at the hairpin in her hand in front of the mirror and told Jianqiu, "Send the lotus seed soup that's been stewed on the stove to the master."

Jianqiu followed the order and took the food box to the front yard, but was stopped outside by Su Peisheng. Knowing that this was Su Peisheng's duty, Jianqiu was not annoyed. She smiled and handed over the purse, saying, "This is the lotus seed soup that Concubine Fujin personally cooked for me. The heat is just right, and it is the best for clearing away heat and reducing internal heat."

Su Peisheng was the worm in the Fourth Prince's heart, how could he not know what could be allowed in and what could not be allowed in? He smiled as he put away his purse, took the food box, and said nicely: "I will definitely bring Concubine Yi's gift to you, but please forgive me, Miss Jianqiu, for not barging into the study."

Jianqiu was only concerned about whether the food box could be delivered. She didn't want to climb into bed, so she didn't want to see the Fourth Prince!

The Fourth Prince heard the conversation outside and recognized that it was from Yixiu's servants, so he waited inside for Su Peisheng to come in.

Su Peisheng walked in with an exaggerated smile on his face and reported to the Fourth Prince: "Master, Concubine Yi sent you some lotus seed soup, which is very nourishing and can clear away heat and reduce internal heat."

Song Gege and Qi Gege had done this before, but the Fourth Prince just frowned and asked Su Peisheng to drink it. But this was sent by Yixiu, and the Fourth Prince urged: "Why don't you bring it over quickly."

While eating the refreshing lotus seed soup, the Fourth Prince felt proud. Xiaoyi was really clingy. Yesterday she was just playing around with Guaerjia, but today she was jealous and used the lotus seed soup to remind him.

Since he had eaten Yixiu's lotus seed soup, the Fourth Prince naturally had to go to Xiliyuan in the evening, and he also sent someone to tell him that he wanted to have dinner with Liu Youyou.

Liu Youyou was not too excited. She had made sufficient preparations to send the gift, so it was not surprising that there was a result. However, the Fourth Prince's coming was not the main point. What Liu Youyou really wanted to do was behind.

After eating and drinking, the Fourth Prince wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yixiu. She must have been jealous and was about to comfort Yixiu, saying that his favor to Guaerjia was only for the sake of face.

Liu Youyou turned the topic to Song Gege: "Today, I made lotus seed soup for you. Xiaoyi peeled the lotus seeds from the lotus pods with her own hands. Then she remembered that lotus seeds also mean 'pity children', and she couldn't help but think of the eldest princess."

The Fourth Prince became alert. Could it be that Yixiu wanted to raise the eldest princess?

"Come to think of it, I've been so busy these days that I haven't visited the eldest princess yet. Let's go directly to Lian Fei Pavilion tomorrow!" He deliberately said that Yi Xiu and Princess Song had formed an alliance.

Liu Youyou had already made sufficient preparations for this matter, and the Fourth Prince's reaction at this time was also one of her pre-planned responses. She said unhappily, "What does your master mean by this? I am worried about your offspring, so I mentioned the eldest princess. Why do you want to find Sister Song? Why wait until tomorrow?"
