After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Jiangnian finally stopped talking.

After a long while, he said, "Go back home."

It's impossible for her to return to Nanjiang County for no reason. I'm afraid something happened. It seems he has to ask his mother.

The next morning, as soon as Wang Min got up, she heard that Lu Jiangnian was already waiting outside.

"So early?"

My son rarely comes to Wangchun Hall at this time unless something big happens.

Thinking of what Yuan Wanru had told her yesterday, Wang Min hurriedly put on her clothes and walked out the door. In the slightly bright sky, her son stood there tall and slender, looking at her with serious eyes.

The two of them arrived at the main hall, and Wang Min dismissed the waiters. "But is there any clue as to your grandmother's poisoning?"

Yesterday, Madam Lu chased several people out of the house, but she did not find the murderer who poisoned the woman. Those people were just dishonest people.

Lu Jiangnian was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, this matter is not easy to investigate. Don't worry, mother, I have arranged people to watch in the dark."

Wang Min said "Oh" in disappointment, and then asked: "Then why did you come so early?"

He pursed his lips and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why did Mother agree to let Yuanshi let you go to Nanjiang County alone?"

Speaking of this, Wang Min snorted at him: "You're asking me now? When you asked you to come back yesterday, didn't you say that we should make the decision ourselves?"

Lu Jiangnian frowned and helplessly called out, "Mom."

It's already this time, and my mother is still concerned about this.

It was obvious that he was a little anxious, so Wang Min didn't keep him in suspense and told him what happened.

She frowned slightly: "Did something happen between you and Wanru?"

Logically, even if Wanru couldn't see Jiang Nian at that time, she should have left a message for Jiang Nian. Why does it seem like he knows nothing?

After Lu Jiangnian found out the reason, he stood up and was about to leave: "Nothing, I'm going to go on duty."

At this hour, the palace gates haven't even opened yet, so why is he in such a hurry? I feel like he's running away in a panic.

-

Lu Jiangnian didn't go to the palace, he went directly to the East Palace.

The prince had just woken up and was very surprised when he heard them. "What is he doing here so early in the morning? Please come in."

"Your Highness, I will be leaving the capital for a while, so I came to tell you."

The prince looked at him seriously: "What happened?"

Only at this moment did Lu Jiangnian feel a little embarrassed.

Well, the big thing is, he's going to chase someone.

He said sternly, "My wife needs to go back to her hometown for something, so I'll accompany her. The round trip will take about a month and a half."

"Recently, the Third and Fifth Princes have been at loggerheads, and the Emperor is also upset. If Your Highness has any plans, please proceed discreetly and don't reveal any clues."

The two groups were hostile to each other, and they were fighting each other because of Chen Zhengquan's matter.

To this day, the case of Chen Zhengquan kidnapping and stealing young children has not been settled, and the emperor is also troubled.

Because of this, both sides suffered damage, leaving many seemingly insignificant but powerful positions vacant, and the prince took the opportunity to place people in positions.

The prince nodded: "I know my limits in this matter."

"Some of these positions must be left for others. Taking them all will attract too much attention."

This was also what Lu Jiangnian meant. He was worried that the prince had not thought of this, so he reminded him specifically.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

The emperor is not a foolish man. If the prince's people take over all these vacancies, will the emperor suspect that the conflict between the third prince and the fifth prince was instigated by the prince?

The emperor's heart must be guarded against.

"Well, Your Highness is wise."

The Crown Prince disagreed, saying, "Didn't the Emperor recently ask you to select capable guards from the various camps in the capital to rebuild the Guards?"

"If you leave at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Father."

Lu Jiangnian paused and said calmly, "I have already arranged this matter. Your Highness does not need to worry."

The prince looked at him steadily, and Lu Jiangnian remained calm and let him look at him.

"hehe."

The prince suddenly laughed out loud: "After a month and a half, you still can't bear to let go. I didn't expect you to be so clingy."

Lu Jiangnian finally felt a little embarrassed.

He said with a stern face, "My wife went back this time to relocate the graves of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. She is their only blood relative, so as their son-in-law, it is my responsibility to step forward."

He refused to admit that he was clingy.

The prince laughed loudly: "Quibbling, I don't know you yet."

"Alright, go quickly and come back soon. I will take care of everything for you, Father."

Lu Jiangnian stood up and said calmly, "No need. I will go to the palace right away and explain the situation to the Emperor. He will surely approve it."

The prince was stunned. He wanted him to avoid suspicion.

I feel a little warm and a little bitter in my heart.

The father and son of the royal family can never be open to each other, but he accepted Jiang Nian's brotherly love.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

-

Lu Jiangnian's words to the emperor were different: "Du Yong, a lieutenant general stationed in Bazhong near Nanjiang County, is a cautious man and skilled in training troops. I would like to recommend him for the position of Left Junior Secretary of the Imperial Guard."

The Emperor was very dissatisfied with the Left Shaoqing of the Imperial Guards because he was incompetent. He discussed with Lu Jiangnian the need to find a suitable person to take up this position.

The emperor still remembered this man: "But wasn't it Du Yong who killed a Mohe general in the Northern Frontier Campaign a few years ago?"

"Your Majesty is wise, this is the man."

Du Yong was indeed capable, but he came from a humble background and had a straightforward character. He was promoted to a lieutenant general because of this achievement, but after being transferred to another place, he was unable to make any further progress.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "This person is suitable."

"My wife needs to return to Nanjiang County to pay respects to her ancestors soon. How about I go with her to investigate Du Yong's achievements in recent years and then submit it to the emperor for his decision?"

"Just like your father, you are always thinking about official business. I am very pleased to have loyal ministers like you and your son."

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law only have your wife as their child. As their son, you should be filial to them. While you should prioritize your official duties, you should also be careful about your personal matters. Accompany your wife to pay respects to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Lu Jiangnian bowed to express his gratitude, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes the moment he lowered his head.

If it was just a private matter, the prince probably wouldn't agree.

After everything was arranged, it was already the end of the afternoon.

Around the autumnal equinox, it got dark earlier than before. Lu Jiangnian didn't hesitate at all: "Leave the city."

Xuanqing knew that the Crown Prince would not allow his wife to go to Nanjiang County alone, and it turned out to be just as he expected.

"Give me the money."

Xuanying took out a five-liang silver ingot and said, "The prince revealed the news to you last night, and you deliberately made a bet with me. I shouldn't have fallen for your trick."

Xuan Qing patted his chest and said without a trace of guilt, "How could the prince say this to me? I've already told you that you're not as good as I am at understanding the prince's thoughts, and you still refuse to accept it."

"Now, I'm convinced."

Xuanying was so angry that he gritted his teeth, looking like a smug villain. Next time they practiced together, he should let Xuanqing know that his money was not that easy to earn.

In terms of kung fu, Xuanqing is not even half as good as him, and there will always be a time to deal with him.

On the other side, Yuan Wanru didn't know that Lu Jiangnian had already set out to find her.

Today they met some unexpected people. Now the two groups were traveling together, with dozens of people in total, and it was very lively.
