Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Danqiu came back with Adong soon.

Ah Dong recounted the conversation between Nanny Li and Huai'an last night word for word, and at the end he did not forget to emphasize the summary, "The prince was very angry last night."

How can I not be angry?

Meng Yunshang was so angry that she slammed the table after hearing this, "This is simply a lie to confuse the public!"

The sense of security that she had finally built up for Huai'an was destroyed by just a few words from Nanny Li.

No wonder the little guy cried so sadly just now. It turned out that he listened to what Nanny Li said and thought his parents didn’t want him anymore.

"Where's Madam Li?"

"As ordered by the prince, I have already sent the person back to the palace."

This time the people were sent back, but what about next time?

If the Queen Mother sends someone again in the future and uses the excuse of having more children to provoke Huai'an, her Huai'an will still suffer.

"Danqiu, take my badge and go to the Imperial Hospital immediately. Tell them that the prince was frightened last night and I am panicking. Please ask the Imperial Doctor to come."

She believed that Danqiu, with his calmness and intelligence, would understand the intention of her action.

"Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do."

After Danqiu left, Meng Yunshang instructed Ah Dong again, "You stay close to the prince. If anyone talks nonsense to the prince again, arrest them immediately. I will bear all the consequences."

Ah Dong clasped his fists and nodded, "I understand."

*

The Imperial Palace at about the same time.

The lively morning court finally ended.

Master Chen, who had tragically lost several of his beloved disciples, walked out of the hall with a tired look on his face.

Lin Xu followed behind him and tried to approach him and talk to him several times, but was ignored.

The other ministers, some close and some far away, followed behind Master Chen.

On the surface everything seems harmonious, but actually there are undercurrents surging inside.

Lu Chenxiao stood there, stroking the ring on his hand with a gloomy look.

At this time, Eunuch Shun came hurriedly, swinging his whisk, "Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you."

Lu Chenxiao frowned, "I am busy."

"The Emperor said that it would not delay the Prince for too long, and that Master Xiao Meng would also go with him."

Meng Jinyou, who was about to walk out a few steps away, looked over immediately.

Lu Chenxiao's mouth twitched slightly as he said to Eunuch Shun, "Remember to tell the emperor later that I also took a fancy to the newly offered Moonlight Brocade."

Eunuch Shun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Every time Prince Heng spoke, the Emperor always agreed.

But after agreeing, they will definitely complain, and then it will be the people around them who will suffer in their ears.

But this also further proves that in the eyes of the emperor, Prince Heng’s favor is unique.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Qing asked someone to give them seats.

His eyes swept across his brother's dark face, and he asked with a smile, "Why, I asked you to stay a little longer, and I pissed you off again?"

Lu Chenxiao spoke the truth, "I really don't like staying in the palace."

Emperor Yuan Qing was so angry that he laughed, "As a royal child, if you don't want to stay in the palace, then where do you want to stay?"

"Of course I'm going back to the palace. That's my home. My wife and children are waiting for me to return to the palace."

Emperor Yuan Qing asked disdainfully, "Are you sure that Meng will wait for you to return home?"

Lu Chenxiao nodded without hesitation, "Of course, she cares about me a lot."

As he spoke, he pretended to be careless, revealing the scratch marks on his neck left by Meng Yunshang.

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

Meng Jinyou: He doesn’t want to understand it immediately, really.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. You saw Master Chen's reaction just now. What do you think?"

Thanks to Du Wenfu's list, he eliminated many hidden parasites and found out that most of these parasites were disciples of Master Chen.

Although the corrupt officials tried their best to deny the fact that they had committed corruption, their conviction was a foregone conclusion with the evidence collected by Axiao and Meng Jinyou through open and secret investigations.

It’s just a pity that they couldn’t confirm that there was any direct transaction between the parasite and Master Chen.

It is impossible to convict Master Chen based solely on their teacher-student relationship.

Lu Chenxiao curled his lips and sneered, "If anyone is a human, they will reveal their true colors. If Master Chen does not take any action, then we will have to worry."

Meng Jinyou nodded in agreement, "Your Highness is right. Let's wait and see what happens. Your Highness can also start with Queen Chen."

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded, "Your ideas coincide with my plans."

When the two of them were relieved, Emperor Yuan Qing asked Lu Chenxiao again, "It's less than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival Martial Arts Competition. Prince Yu has already arrived in the capital, and Fang Shao will also enter the capital tomorrow. Ah Xiao, are you ready?"

Lu Chenxiao replied calmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will live up to your trust."

"That's good," Emperor Yuan Qing laughed, "I love hearing what you said the most, Xiao. It's time to let them relive the elegance of the Great Yuan Heng King."

After walking out of the imperial study, Lu Chenxiao was in a low mood.

Meng Jinyou walked beside him and asked slowly, "Are you worried about Prince Yu?"

Lu Chenxiao did not answer but asked, "Don't you think Yuan Chengye is a little strange today?"

"What's wrong?"

"The Chen family is in trouble, if he helps them out, he can use this opportunity to ask for more money. But today, not only did he not speak up for Master Chen, he even tried to draw a line in the sand."

"Maybe he just wants to protect himself?"

"Based on my understanding of him, it is more likely that he will find someone with a more promising backer."

"But in terms of future prospects, who can be better than you, Your Majesty?"

Lu Chenxiao glanced at him with a cold gaze, "Does the king owe you money?"

Is it worth mocking him in such a sarcastic way?

Meng Jinyou chuckled nonchalantly, "I am telling the truth. Yuan Chengye is not stupid. He gave up the Chen family and did not come to you, Your Highness. This only means that his new backer is second only to you, Your Highness."

There are not many people in the court who are second only to Prince Heng, but there happen to be one or two.

The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Meng Jinyou stopped being distracted and said to Lu Chenxiao in a serious tone, "The Emperor probably noticed something, so he hinted to you, Your Highness, that you must not lose the Mid-Autumn Festival Competition."

"He'd better not interfere in the competition," Lu Chenxiao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Otherwise, I will settle all old and new scores with him. If he hadn't instigated me, why would I have rushed back to the capital without any explanation?"

If he had stayed in the northwest for one more day, he would not have missed Shang'er's waking up and let Song Jinyan take advantage of such a big opportunity.

"But I'm worried that he'll make a comeback. When you drove him out of the capital, he must have held a grudge against you. If..."

Meng Jinyou sighed softly, "Anyway, you have to be careful. I don't want Shang'er to lose her husband at such a young age."

"Shut up your crow mouth. I will grow old with her and have many children and grandchildren."

Meng Jinyou chuckled, "Without you, there will be someone else who will grow old with my sister and have many children and grandchildren."

He spoke as if he was the only one.

"I haven't received the imperial decree from my brother promising you the freedom of marriage yet. Are you sure you want to offend me like this?"

Meng Jinyou: “…”

"Do you want to know why Song Jinyan came to your house yesterday? And that day Song Jinyan suddenly rushed to Jinxiu Pavilion because he received a letter. Do you want to know who wrote that letter?"

"explain!"

"I heard someone gave you two sets of top-quality Huangshan pine smoke ink?"

Lu Chenxiao: "..."
