The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest
Chapter 254 Missing
He was still comforting himself in his heart. He went to the vegetable garden outside and even looked for the toilet, but he didn't find anyone.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyin was extremely panicked.
He returned to the house and forced himself to calm down.
His mother had lived in seclusion for many years and had lived in peace, but something happened to him just a few days after he found his mother, so he deduced that these people were most likely coming for him.
As long as they need his help, his mother will be fine.
After thinking it through, Xiao Jingyin was no longer panicked. He opened his eyes again and looked around the room carefully. He found that the footprints on the ground were messy, not just his mother's. There was also a letter on the table inside.
He hurriedly opened the letter and saw only two short lines of words on it.
"If you want your mother to live, meet at the oil mill in the south of the city at 3:45 tonight!"
Until this moment, he finally felt relieved.
Everything was almost as he expected. His mother was still alive. As long as he fulfilled their wish, his mother would be safe.
On the second day, the ministers who came to court discovered something strange.
That is, the second prince Xiao Jingyin, who had been traveling and commemorating his deceased wife, actually went to court, which even surprised the emperor.
In fact, Xiao Jingyin is also a very talented person, even not inferior to Xiao Jingyu.
When he was a minor, he had already written many impressive theories on governing the world.
For a time, he became the object of pursuit by scholars throughout the capital.
However, not long after, Xiao Jingyin's talent seemed to be sucked away. He could no longer write good articles and started to get drunk.
Not long after, it was reported that he was going to get married, but his bride was gone again.
From then on, Xiao Jingyin became mediocre and began to live in seclusion.
When he became famous, Jiang Qingyu was still playing in the mud without knowing anything. When she started chasing men, Xiao Jingyin rarely went out. Later, he left the capital to travel.
The emperor looked at Xiao Jingyin below with some confusion, and then asked.
"How come the emperor has time to attend court today?"
When he was at the peak of his talent, the emperor ordered him to serve as an official in the court. However, before he could go to court, something happened to him and he was delayed.
However, what the emperor said at the beginning still counts. He can come to court anytime he wants.
When the emperor mentioned himself, Xiao Jingyin answered respectfully.
“Father, I am ashamed to say that as a prince of Qi, I enjoy the treatment of a prince, but I have never fulfilled my responsibilities.
So today, I, your son, came here to ask for a job from your father.
No matter how big or small, I just want to do my best. "
The emperor was deeply moved by Xiao Jingyin's words.
Among his sons, apart from Xiao Jingyu, the most talented one was Xiao Jingyin.
Although his mother disgusted him, he had to admit that he still liked Xiao Jingyin very much.
But he didn't dare to show it before, for fear of being used by Xiao Jingyin's mother.
But it’s different now. Xiao Jingyin has grown up, can distinguish right from wrong, and has his own thoughts. He is not afraid that Xiao Jingyin will be used by others again.
"good very good.
I wonder what you are interested in?
What kind of official position do you want to apply for?"
Before Xiao Jingyin could answer, Zheng Heng next to him spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. There is a vacancy in the Imperial Guard. The right commander made a mistake last night and has been thrown into prison. It is most appropriate for the second prince to take over this position."
The Yulin Guards were the emperor's personal guards, and they protected the safety of the emperor and the palace.
Those who can be selected into the Yulin Guards must have a clean family background and are loyal to the emperor.
The Right Commander can be said to be the second-in-command of the Yulin Guard. Zheng Heng did not recommend his nephew Xiao Jingyi, but the second prince instead. Not only did the ministers couldn't understand it, but even the emperor was confused.
Moreover, the emperor knew nothing about the fact that the right commander was imprisoned, and he was very angry in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to punish Zheng Heng, but when he thought about the fact that he was the Queen's brother, he thought that if he punished him, the Queen might be sad. Thinking of this, and what happened in the Imperial Study yesterday, the Emperor had to suppress his inner anger and just said a few words to him.
When Zheng Heng said this, he was prepared to bear the emperor's wrath.
The only result I got was “Don’t do this again next time, don’t act without authorization.”
Zheng Heng excitedly knelt down to express his gratitude and said that there would definitely not be a next time.
And just like that, the morning court ended quickly.
The ministers were discussing what had happened today.
Judging from the current situation, the Second Prince has most likely joined forces with the Fifth Prince.
It makes sense for them to join forces, saying that Xiao Jingyu would be the only one in power, and that any single prince would be no match for him.
Whether it is ability or status in the emperor's heart.
As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, the eunuchs came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Queen came just now, but you didn't come back.
Your Majesty, I will tell you that you are welcome to have lunch at Fengyi Palace at noon."
The restlessness that had been suppressed yesterday began to rekindle at this moment.
Fortunately, the queen was not around, and the emperor quickly suppressed this emotion.
Subconsciously, he realized that he had changed, was no longer like himself, and was no longer normal. This feeling made him panic.
So he hurried to the desk and wrote down his suspicions while he was still sober.
He was afraid that after a while, he would be completely controlled by this emotion, which was something he didn't want to see.
After writing, he quietly handed the letter to the secret guard and asked him to deliver it to the person he trusted most.
And the person he trusted the most was none other than Xiao Jingyu.
The emperor had a solemn expression and gave urgent orders. The secret guards realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay.
Within two days, he met Xiao Jingyu who was leading a large army back to Beijing. When Xiao Jingyu saw the secret guards, he still had some guesses in his mind.
He is the small commander of the secret guards and will not leave the capital easily, let alone the emperor.
Now I have traveled thousands of miles just to send a letter to myself.
This is enough to prove that something happened in the capital.
Xiao Jingyu took the letter and read it from beginning to end without missing a word.
Judging from the handwriting, it belongs to his father.
Xiao Jingyu was angry about the contents of the letter.
He knew very well how much his father loved his mother, and over the years he had always been kind to him.
How could he fall in love with the queen for no reason?
Even his father himself didn't believe it, otherwise how could this letter come into being?
However, what can make a person change his or her temperament so drastically that he or she falls in love with someone he or she once hated?
Xiao Jingyu couldn't figure it out.
At this time, he thought of someone who might be able to help him.
This person is Jiang Qingyu.
He found Jiang Qingyu and described everything about his father to her.
"Do you know of any medicine that can make people feel this way?"
After listening to Xiao Jingyu's description, Jiang Qingyu frowned and thought.
