Bellwether?
Ji Yunshu's black eyes looked at him in bewilderment.
Jing Rong said, "Imperial Father wanted to send Lord Qiu from the Ministry of War to lead the troops, but someone suddenly came to ask for permission and stopped this matter."
"Who?"
"Take a guess."
She was already exhausted from drawing portraits, and now he wanted her to guess?
Fine, I'll take a guess! So he thought for a while and began to ponder. He muttered, "You didn't even change into your court attire before coming here. I think that person must have shocked you and the court officials. He should be someone who doesn't talk much and doesn't like to be in the limelight. Hmm … a new official? But there are no new officials in the court recently.
What's more, this is a difficult task. Many people avoid it if they can, and no one will take the initiative to do it. So after thinking about it, there can only be one person, and that is … the Virtuous Prince. "
Her analysis was clear and logical.
Jing Rong nodded, "Your brain is quite sharp."
It proved that she had guessed correctly!
But —
Ji Yunshu didn't quite understand, "Didn't he just enter the court one or two months ago? I heard that he is very well-behaved in the court. Why does he dare to accept such a big task? "
Does he want to die? Jing Rong said, "In the past one or two months, he is really eager to learn. He has been learning things that he didn't understand in the court. He is modest and polite to the officials, and he doesn't fight for things. Everything he does is for the people and the country. I really can't see Jing Yi's ambition. The officials in the court are also less prejudiced against him.
I have less prejudice against him, and today, he suddenly accepted this task. I guess he wants to show off his ability, but it's not a bad thing after all. " "Since you want to help him ascend the throne, this can be a good test to see if he is a wise emperor. Or a fatuous one? You can be prepared. However, the Virtuous Prince has been living in the palace for a long time, and he is a newborn calf. He doesn't have much experience. If no one helps him, I'm afraid that he won't be able to lift the bucket this time.
This time, he doesn't have enough strength to lift the bucket of water. If he shakes it all, then he'll be making a fool of himself. "Ji Yunshu analyzed the pros and cons.
But —
Jing Rong looked into her eyes, and his lips suddenly curved into a deep smile, "Are you worried about him?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Really?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him. This guy was really jealous.
Jing Rong was amused by her appearance. The dark clouds in his heart seemed to have been swept away by her.
Just as he was about to speak —
A servant came in and reported, "Your Highness, the Virtuous King is outside and wishes to see you."
Huh?
Why did Cao Cao suddenly appear?
The two of them looked at each other.
Jing Rong nodded at the manservant. "Invite the Virtuous Prince to wait in the main hall. This Prince will go after changing my clothes."
"Yes."
The servant left.
Jing Rong had no intention of changing his clothes. He leisurely drank another cup of tea.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and asked, "You're not going?"
"Wait."
"But he's already here."
"He waited fourteen years to leave the palace. Can't he wait a little longer?" Jing Rong retorted.
There was nothing wrong with his words.
However, Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "Why did the Virtuous Prince come to find you at this time?"
"Please light the lamp."
Ask Uncle to light the lamp?
The four words slowly flowed out of his hand, bringing with it a strange feeling.
… …
At this moment, Jing Xian followed the servant into the main hall.
He put on a cloak and followed them with small steps. As he walked in, he looked around. There was a small bamboo forest next to the entrance of Bamboo Creek Garden. When the cold wind blew, it made a whooshing sound, but it didn't feel gloomy. Instead, it sounded sweet like a bell. However, this place couldn't be compared to Prince Rong's residence. The location was a bit remote and the residence wasn't big. The buildings and furnishings were relatively old, but the layout was very elegant.
Many of the objects looked old, but the decorations were extremely elegant and delicate, revealing a simple and retro feeling.
He didn't expect that Jing Rong would abandon his big bed in Prince Rong's residence for a woman and come to live here.
The power of love was indeed great!
"Virtuous Prince, this way please."
The servant led him to the main hall and quickly served tea and snacks.
He was also extremely courteous as he expressed his thanks. From beginning to end, there was a gentle and humble smile on his face.
"Virtuous Prince, please wait for a moment. His Highness said that he would come immediately after changing into his court clothes."
"Very well."
The servant was about to leave when Jing Xian suddenly asked, "By the way, how long has your Highness been living here?"
The servant raised his eyelids and calculated. "In any case, it's been a long time. His Highness has been here for as long as Lord Ji has been here."
"Then, is Lord Ji investigating the 'Lin Capital Case' every day?"
"Yes, he is often busy until late at night."
"How is the investigation going? Has the portrait been completed? Who is missing? Is there any progress on the case? "Jing Xian asked a series of questions, his body couldn't help but lean forward a little.
His tone sounded very concerned.
It was obvious that he was very concerned about the 'Lin Capital Case'.
The servant was bombarded by a series of questions and couldn't respond. He raised his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head. "I don't know how the investigation is going, but I heard that it's going to be completed soon."
"Soon?"
"Yes!"
Jing Xian's eyes drooped, the corners of his mouth indiscernibly forming a smile.
Soon! Soon!
It was as if the road he was walking on was finally coming to an end.
Jing Xian inwardly sighed in relief.
The servant didn't say anything else and silently retreated.
Jing Xian waited there for a long time until the cup of steaming hot tea gradually cooled down, but Jing Rong still didn't come over.
Jing Xian hurriedly said to the servant at the door, "If Prince Rong is busy, I will come back later."
The servant was about to reply when …
Jing Rong arrived!
As soon as he entered, he said apologetically, "Have you been here for a long time? I was busy over there just now, so I was delayed. "
Jing Xian replied, "No, I just arrived as well."
"That's good." He sat down, but when he saw the cup of tea placed in front of Jing Xian, his expression immediately tensed up. He angrily shouted at the servant, "What are you doing? Can't you see that Prince Xian's tea is already cold? Why aren't you changing it? "
His tone was very heavy.
He was furious.
The manservant shivered and lowered his head. Clearly, he was a little frightened.
He thought, 'What kind of explosive did Prince Rong eat today?'
"Yes, it's this servant's fault."
"Then why aren't you changing it?"
"I'm going to change it now." The servant bowed and hurriedly went to change the hot tea.
Jing Xian was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Why are you angry with him? There's no difference between hot and cold tea. "
"How can there be no difference?" Jing Rong's expression turned serious. "You are a guest in this residence, but they don't even know how to treat a guest. Naturally, they should be taught a good lesson. If you weren't here, I would have dragged him out and beaten him."
"…"
Jing Xian was dumbfounded.
"Oh right, why are you looking for me?"
He hurriedly stated his purpose. "Actually … it's because of today's matter in the imperial court."
