C327 The Reason Why He Couldn't Die
Yu Longchen was in the study, reading the letter. Changxu had come, but he didn't look at him. Naturally, he didn't notice anything strange about Changxu.
"Does the prince have any orders?" Changxu saw Yu Longchen's worried look and knew that something had happened in the Imperial Court. As such, Yu Longchen did not pay much attention to Yun Xi's matter.
"Faang Zijun sent a secret letter. There is a problem with the ore mine in Hengzhou." Yu Longchen put down the letter. The letter said that the officials of Hengzhou had seized the ore mine and made things difficult for them. No matter what, they would not let it pass.
"Hengzhou is too far from the Imperial Capital. It is not easy to control the officials of the province. Moreover, the mine there is only a drop in the ocean, so it is not important. Why don't we just give it up? " Changxu thought for a moment before answering Yu Longchen. He had already put Yun Xi's matter at the back of his mind.
"If you are a provincial official of some place and know that it is the property of the Fang family, do you have the courage to deduct it?" Yu Longchen raised his head and looked out the window. He leaned against the chair.
... "No." Changxu's hands were naturally vertical, as if he could not figure out the key.
"Then how would they dare?!" Yu Longchen placed his hands on the chair and looked at Changxu.
"Because they have supporters behind them, and those people will definitely be able to fight back against the Fang Clan and the Crown Prince. That's why they are so bold. " Changxu understood what was going on with just a simple tap of his finger, and he admired Yu Longchen even more in his heart. It was such an unassuming thing. He could think of so many things.
"King Yi has made his move." Yu Longchen stood up.
"What does King Yi want these things for?" Changxu was puzzled again. There were not many of these minerals, but how could King Yi lack these?
"Those are mines, not money. There are some things that you might not even dare to do even if you have money. But... If you exchange it for something of equal value, then it'll be easy to deal with. " Yu Longchen focused his gaze and looked into the distance. "We can't give him these minerals."
" Mines can be smelted into iron and can be used as armor weapons. " No matter how much Changxu thought, he could not be faster than Yu Longchen. Yu Longchen had already thought of something. When he thought of it now, he was suddenly enlightened and exclaimed, "Where is the mine? It is enough to fit tens of thousands of soldiers."
"That's right. It's just that in the past, the mine was used for other purposes. It actually made people forget its true use for a moment."
"This subordinate requests that I personally go to the Heng Province to settle this matter."
"This won't do. King Yi must have already made preparations over there. If you go over now, won't you be delivering yourself to the door?" When he received the letter, Yu Longchen's brain had already been filled with countless twists and turns. "Someone who can know the exact time of the number and route so accurately must be someone from Second Big Brother's side."
"A spy has appeared on the Crown Prince's side?"
"En." Yu Longchen landed in front of the desk and quickly wrote down the brush. In just six sentences, he had already described the matter clearly and handed it over to Changxu, "Hand it over to the Crown Prince and let him investigate the people under him."
"Yes." Changxu took the letter and left.
When he left the mansion, he met Lingyue who had finished her task. She only exchanged a glance with him before rushing out the door.
Lingyue returned to her room and told Mu Ruqing that she saw Changxu leaving the mansion.
Mu Ruqing thought for a moment and did not ask about Changxu's matter. She looked at Lingyue, "Is it done?"
"Yes. But if this continues, it is still not a solution. If the Royal Highness finds out, how will the Princess explain?" Lingyue could not help but worry. This was not a long-term solution.
"Is Huatine still in the courtyard?" Mu Ruqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Lingyue. Her tone carried a hint of conspiracy.
"Yes." Lingyue thought about the situation when she went to Yun Xi's courtyard just now and now looking at Huatine, she felt more and more uncomfortable, "I also interrogated her. She did not say a word and only looked at me."
"If she was there, Yu Longchen would not have seen her so quickly. And now, Yu Longchen also did not have the mood to care about her." Mu Ruqing thought for a while and still wanted to personally go and take a look, "Get ready. Follow me out at night."
"Where is the Princess going?" Lingyue was unhappy and she did not support it very much. Without waiting for Mu Ruqing to reply, she rejected her, "The Princess cannot go."
"No. I have to go." Mu Ruqing saw that she did not move and prepared to clean up herself.
Just as she picked up an item, Lingyue snatched it over.
Lingyue put on a preaching look, "The Consort's stomach is already so big and she still wants to make a fuss. Lateral Consort Yun went there and was discovered by the Royal Highness. That is also Lateral Consort Yun's own matter. What does the Consort care about her?"
"You do not know how ruthless that person is. If she did not go and find Yun Xi, she might not even have her life left."
"If that person dies, then so be it. Don't forget. Lateral Consort Yun still wanted to harm your child, Wang Fei. What happened that day... Just thinking about it now makes me feel scared. " Lingyue patted her chest as if she had just been given a fright. " If she died like this, it would be clean too."
"She can't die, at least not now" Mu Ruqing looked at Lingyue and then took the things Lingyue kept.
"Why? She died, much better than being alive." Lingyue did not understand. She thought that Mu Ruqing would allow this matter to develop. She arranged for servant girl to be blamed on Yun Xi after Yu Longchen found out. Just say that Yun Xi went out to meet her lover and let servant girl pretend to be her in the room. He wanted to confuse Yu Longchen. At that time, even if Yun Xi came back alive, Yu Longchen would also sentence her to death.
"Did you instruct servant girl to let Yu Longchen find out that Yun Xi is missing?" Mu Ruqing was a little reproachful and her expression was a little angry.
"Yes." Lingyue also did not hide. She did indeed do it.
"Now, Consort Long wants to kill Yu Longchen even though the Crown Prince trusts him. As long as Consort Long uses some tricks to make the Crown Prince believe that Yu Longchen also wants to become the Sovereign. The first person the Crown Prince will deal with will be him. When that time comes... He would be facing enemies from both sides. If he had Yun Xi, it would be equivalent to having the support of the Dreamy Cloud Crown Prince. Only then will he have the confidence to win. "
... ""
"You have seen what kind of means Consort Long used. The Crown Prince seemed to be very good, but it was just a small matter. He would doubt Yu Longchen's words. Yu Longchen was still helping and trusting him wholeheartedly. As long as the Crown Prince betrayed Yu Longchen... If he wasn't ready to think of a way out now, he would be defeated. I really don't know how I will die in the future." Mu Ruqing's words were very serious which made Lingyue very worried. " Just based on this point, Yun Xi must also live and not die. Do you understand?"
" It is because I am short-sighted. " Lingyue lowered her head to admit her mistake but she still could not agree with Mu Ruqing to look for Yun Xi. "The Princess still cannot go there. Since she knows how cruel that person is, how can I rest assured that the Princess will go. He shouldn't be so heartless as to kill the person he loves, right? "
" It can't be? " Mu Ruqing only wanted to laugh coldly. She had already seen Bai Ming kill too many women.
"A letter from the Princess. I will send it and bring Lateral Consort Yun back." Lingyue saw that Mu Ruqing did not change her mind and became more and more anxious. " Now the Royal Highness is paying attention to the wangfei being given to Little Mistress. If the wangfei were to go, if the Royal Highness finds out, who knows what will happen."
Mu Ruqing really did not think of this. Because she knew Bai Ming's temper, that was why she was afraid Lingyue would go. Not only did he not let her go, but he also wanted to keep Lingyue in custody. That was truly a bad thing.
" Princess, I will bring the hidden guards. I will definitely bring Lateral Consort Yun back. " Lingyue pulled Mu Ruqing's arms and was completely begging.
Mu Ruqing looked at her eyes for a long time before gritting her teeth and agreeing, "If you cannot bring her back, you must come back! Do you know!"
"Okay." Lingyue smiled, her face full of happiness.
