Quick Wear: The Pure Beauty Becomes the Boss's Favorite

After the palace banquet.

The third prince didn't drink for a long time, and he stayed away from home for several days.

Because he was beaten up while half drunk and half awake the day after the palace banquet, and the person who beat him up was the Second Prince who had forced him to drink yesterday.

He couldn't understand how the simple-minded second brother suddenly became smart.

Shen Liangcai, who was hiding beside the prince, also did not expect that his true identity, which he had tried hard to hide, had been inadvertently exposed to the prince's eyes.

The prince exclaimed in his heart, "What a good fellow."

He originally thought that Shen Liangcai was just a spy planted by the third brother next to him, but he did not expect that the other party was actually a surviving remnant of the Shen family.

Five years ago, Yu Rong, who was eighteen years old at the time, brought the Left Prime Minister Shen Ju to justice with the evidence he had collected over the past ten years. The Shen family was also punished because the Left Prime Minister harmed the border troops, embezzled food and military equipment, and sold them to the enemy.

Such crimes as treason, corruption and bribery are enough to make Shen Ju die a hundred times.

Not to mention that Shen Ju secretly formed a clique and supported the second prince in his bid for the throne.

Everything he did was punishable by death!

Emperor Zhangde sentenced the entire Shen family to death, but Shen Ju's youngest son luckily escaped.

Not only did this child not cherish the life he had picked up, he even wanted to take revenge on Yu Rong.

“……” The prince was very confused.

The one who did something wrong was the left prime minister Shen Ju, so why does Shen Liangcai still act like a victim?

Even his second brother was held accountable and disliked by his father because of his conspiracy with Shen Ju for the throne.

Otherwise, why would the Second Prince be sent to the western fiefdom by Emperor Zhang De so early!

Logically speaking, only when the new emperor ascends the throne will the second prince and other brothers of the new emperor leave Yanjing and go to their fiefdoms, but the second prince became an exception.

The reason was that he wanted to compete with the crown prince for the throne, and secretly colluded with officials in the court to form cliques, which directly angered the protective Emperor Zhang De.

If even the prince is like this, how could Shen Ju, who has committed numerous crimes, possibly escape!

The prince could not understand Shen Liangcai's thoughts, but based on Shen Liangcai's identity, he successfully deduced the truth about Yu Rong's ambush several months ago.

The youngest son of Shen Ju, whose real name was Shen Ru and alias Shen Liangcai, was the only survivor of the Shen family. After enduring four years of hiding, he finally returned to Yanjing.

Shen Liangcai returned to Beijing for revenge.

But his strength was too weak. If he wanted to take revenge on Yu Rong, he needed a powerful helper, and the third prince was the person chosen by Shen Liangcai.

These two people were in cahoots with each other, which is why the prefect of Jingzhao sent assassins to kill Yu Rong according to the instructions of the third prince.

But Yu Rong was lucky enough to survive.

With Yu Rong's return to Beijing, the truth of this shocking tragedy must be revealed.

Therefore, the Jingzhao prefect who acted on orders was pushed out by the third prince as a scapegoat.

The Third Prince also took advantage of this incident to send Shen Liangcai to the Crown Prince's door, and "successfully" planted a poisonous snake next to the Crown Prince.

If Yu Rong had not noticed the abnormality early and reminded the prince, leading the prince to investigate further, I'm afraid the prince would have really fallen.

After the prince found out about this, he immediately told Yu Rong who was recuperating in the Duke of Anguo's mansion, but he felt that the other party seemed to have guessed it long ago.

After hearing the news, Yu Rong suppressed the Crown Prince's intention to punish Shen Liangcai, and even played a big game of chess with the Crown Prince, intending to catch Shen Liangcai and the third prince in one fell swoop and completely put an end to their evil intentions.

However, this game of chess requires the use of the second prince, and the negotiator is naturally Yu Rong.

The reason why the Crown Prince and the Second Prince did not quarrel when they met was because the sun rose from the west today.

***

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the second prince, who received an invitation from Yu Rong, took the initiative to go to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

The first person he met was Nanny Qian, who was beside the queen, and then he followed her to the main reception hall.

The second prince thought that the Yu Rong he saw was the same one he had seen at the palace banquet a few days ago, but the person he saw was even weaker than at the palace banquet.

He looked pale and pitifully thin.

He felt that Yu Rong at this moment was as tattered as the white porcelain he had accidentally broken, and it would be useless no matter how much effort he put into repairing it.

He didn't know why he felt so upset and even a little distressed.

Yu Rong's hand holding the teacup had distinct joints, and his peach blossom eyes filled with murderous intent stared at the tea, trying his best to suppress the crazy thoughts that were stirring in his heart.

After a long while, he finally said, "Second Prince, why don't you sit down and talk?"

The second prince sat in the empty seat next to him, his eyes fixed on the corners of Yu Rong's eyes.

The other party seemed to have cried...

Yu Rong put down the teacup in his hand and placed his cold fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair.

"I came to ask the Second Prince to come here to discuss something."

The Second Prince looked around the main hall where only he, Yu Rong, and Lin Yan were, and said slowly, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"For the sake of our childhood friendship, I will do my best to help you if I can."

Yu Rong said softly, "I would like to ask the Second Prince to help distribute a set of examination papers before the Spring Examination this year. The main target person is the prince's retainer Shen Liangcai."

The second prince frowned slightly, "The prince's retainer? If he offends you, just ask the prince to deal with him quietly."

"Why did you hand out the test papers to him?"

Could it be that Yu Rong wanted to help him pass the imperial examination? When did Yu Rong become so kind?

Yu Rong chuckled, "For that? Of course you want him to be ruined!"

"He has hurt me to such an extent. Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die easily?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's eyes were filled with a violent gleam as he glanced at Yu Rong's pale face.

"…wasn't it the third brother who harmed you?"

"What's up with this Shen Liangcai? Is he the mastermind behind your murder? What on earth are you trying to get me to do?"

Yu Rong's eyes were dark and gloomy. "Even though the Third Prince doesn't like me, he doesn't intend to kill me. But this Mr. Shen is different."

"Five years ago, I gave evidence against the Left Prime Minister Shen Ju, which led to the execution of the entire Shen family. Shen Liangcai, who joined the Crown Prince, is the son of Shen Ju."

"He, of course, hates me."

The second prince took a deep breath and felt his brain being violently impacted.

"Son of Shen Ju..."

He knew Shen Ju, who had once taken refuge with him, very well, and naturally knew how many sons Shen Ju had. The deliberately disguised name 'Shen Liangcai' made him think of Shen Ju's youngest son at the first time.

Shen Zhu, Shen Liangcai...

What a trick of replacing one thing with another, a cat for a prince!

It was because Shen Ju was greedy and committed all kinds of evil things that he was disliked by his father during his fight with the crown prince.

He was sent out of the palace before he even reached adulthood, and last year he was driven out of the capital by his father and sent to his fiefdom in the west to resist the fierce barbarians.

Even though Shen Ju was once his confidant, the Second Prince really had no good feelings towards the Shen family.

Maybe it was because Shen Ju embezzled food and military equipment, or maybe it was because Shen Ju implicated him...

In short, the second prince doesn't like Shen Ju.

And these dissatisfactions were further deepened after the Second Prince actually fought with the barbarians with real swords and guns. Food and weapons were of paramount importance on the battlefield. Whoever touched them would be asking for the lives of the soldiers.

The second prince tried his best to calm down, but he lost his composure completely after touching Yu Rong's skinny wrist, and a storm gradually brewed in his eyes.

"I'll help you, what do you want me to do?"
