Chapter 395 The fisherman gets a profit

Everything seemed to be falling into place.

In any case, the news that Prince Duan had broken his leg was still too shocking.

A prince with a broken leg or a disabled prince will never be able to become the crown prince no matter what.

Then King Xian would face his most powerful rival.

As for Prince Rong, Prince Xian’s answer just now was so clear, he must have been to Guansong Garden before but didn’t find anyone.

For many things, we cannot just look at the surface, but no matter what, as long as we look at the results, whoever benefits in the end will always be related to him.

Zhou Chang was terrified when he thought about it. At this moment, Prince Rong also came over with a few people: "Why is your father here? Your son has been looking for you everywhere. Fortunately, your father is fine."

Following behind him were the Minister of War Peng Pai, his son Peng Liang, and several civil servants.

"No need to be so polite, I'm fine. But you, there's no need to come over here, just go away." Emperor Lin felt very tired after being shocked.

Prince Rong and the Minister of War asked about his well-being and stood up.

Zhou Chang nodded as a greeting.

Prince Rong smiled, then looked around, as if he saw something, and turned around to find Xu Wei: "Dean Xu, it's just right that you are here. I just saw that the top scholar over there seemed to have fainted on the ground. Please go and take a look, Dean Xu."

Prince Rong seems to be unaware of Prince Duan's affairs.

Prince Xian was heartbroken again: "Ah, Brother Rong, you may not know this, but Brother Duan was seriously injured, both of his legs were broken by the beams."

"Ah? What happened?" Prince Rong was indeed shocked.

Zhou Chang stared at Xu Wei's back as he walked away from Wen Qingyan and thought to himself what a pity.

Tonight is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but unfortunately Xu Wei is probably staying at Prince Duan's place, which is why he has not appeared at Yi Yang Gate yet, allowing him to escape.

Prince Rong noticed Wen Qingyan at a casual glance, but she almost forgot about him at this moment.

He could still hear Prince Xian narrating about Prince Duan, and saw from afar Wen Qingyan leaning against the flower bed, with Yuan Jie standing next to him, talking to a eunuch.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but look at Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi frowned slightly, his eyes intentionally avoiding Wen Qingyan's direction, but no one knew what he was thinking.

She must be worried about Wen Qingyan, maybe Yuan Jie was sent by her.

Zhou Chang's mind was full of thoughts and his heart was in a mess.

But then I heard King Xian suddenly ask, "Hey, that top scholar? How could a foreign official faint here?"

This question was not a big deal, and everyone looked in the direction of Wen Qingyan.

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Chuliang, looked around and asked in surprise, "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Rong with the Minister of War, Lord Peng? Did His Royal Highness come in from the Yiyang Gate?"

Without waiting for King Rong to answer.

Zhou Chang wanted to divert everyone's attention first: "Yes, Commander Sun, when I came in just now, there was no guard on either side of Yiyang Gate."

"How could this be?" Sun Chuliang frowned, and immediately turned around and ordered, "Go quickly and check the situation. Why is the harem door now open? Where did Tang Mao go?"

"Yes..." A group of people behind him agreed at the same time.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief," Prince Rong was oblivious to the atmosphere, "I was originally admiring the moon in my mother's palace, when I suddenly heard a fire in the imperial study. I was worried about my father's condition, so I went to check. I didn't expect that my father was not in the study, so I looked for him everywhere. Later, I met several adults who came in the front hall and talked with Deputy Commander Tang at the Yiyang Gate. So there should be someone guarding there. It's just that I and several other nobles are worried about your majesty's safety, so we were allowed in. There was no omission."

Sun Chuliang was skeptical, but he still bowed to the Emperor Lin and said, "Earlier, there were fires everywhere in the hunting palace, and everyone was busy putting out the fire. The imperial guards guarding the Yiyang Gate were killed by an assassin. I am afraid that there was a mistake during the rotation. It is my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Since the fire in the Hunting Palace, Sun Chuliang has been guarding Emperor Lin's side to protect his safety.

At this time, in front of Concubine Qin's palace, the Emperor did not want to pursue the matter: "The punishment will be waived for now, but Sun Qing needs to find out as soon as possible the cause of the fire tonight, how the assassin sneaked into the palace, and why he assassinated her."

"Yes." Sun Chuliang said solemnly.

"This top scholar didn't come with Brother Rong, did he?" Xian Wang shook his head and held on to it, "General Sun should also be investigated."

Sun Chuliang could not help but frown: "When I was here, I saw an assassin chasing out of the Queen Concubine Qin's palace. Thanks to the top scholar Wen who risked his life to resist the assassin..."

This statement is as vague as possible.

But saying this reminded Zhou Chang.

Although the assassins who jumped out of Concubine Qin's palace also had swords in their hands, they did not use them to hurt people. It seemed that they only wanted to capture people.

Otherwise, both she and Yuan Qi would have been cut or stabbed by swords at the first moment.

Even Wen Qingyan’s life is in danger now.

But everyone was fine, and she always seemed to have seen that look somewhere before.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, you mean that he is an outsider or a civil official, and he rushed to the inner palace to save people? Who did he save?" King Xian was still not giving in.

After being asked this question, Emperor Lin's expression turned grim.

Many people can't help but think of what happened on Prince Yi's wedding day, which involved the reputation of the royal family.

The reason why no one mentioned that matter at that time, how do we know that it was not instructed by Emperor Lin?

Zhou Chang quietly held Yuan Qi's hand beside her, and Yuan Qi felt a cold and wet feeling in her palm where his hand touched her.

Prince Rong just laughed and said: "No matter what, he always saves people."

"Father, didn't you just say that you wanted to go see Brother Prince Duan? It's late now, there's no time to lose." Zhou Chang also wanted to change the subject.

"Yes..." Emperor Lin suddenly remembered the important matter and shook hands with Concubine Qin again, "I will be back soon, you go and rest first."

Fang She also shouted: "Get going..."

Zhou Chang originally bowed to see her off, but when she stood up again, she caught a glimpse of Peng Liang also standing behind her father, the Minister of War Peng Pai, his eyes fixed on her side.

Immediately, a thousand horses ran through his mind. Of course, all the warnings were invalid. This guy actually dared to look at Yuan Qi?

"Father..." Zhou Chang stopped Emperor Lin without thinking, "Something happened in the hunting palace tonight, and the imperial guards lost some men. It would be better to send more people from the Ministry of War to help. After the fire, there are many things to be repaired, and we need capable people to take charge. I heard that the son of the Minister of War, Mr. Peng, is the head of the military arsenal. He is loyal and capable, and can be used. It would be better to let him take the people from the Ministry of War to take charge of cleaning the palace."

Cleaning up a battlefield might be a good job, as there are spoils of war to be picked up, but cleaning up a palace after a fire is definitely not a good job, because each palace will definitely be heavily guarded after an accident, and you won't get any benefits, but rather a tough job.

In front of so many people, she couldn't do anything to Peng Liang, but she didn't want to let him get away with it either.

"Ming'er has done a great job in saving the emperor today. I will reward you another day." The emperor has not forgotten Prince Yi's "merit in saving the emperor", but since he will not reward him immediately, it is okay to agree to an insignificant proposal. "Cleaning up the palace is indeed urgent, so I will trouble Mr. Peng."

Peng Pai hurriedly took Peng Liang to kneel down to receive the order: "I obey your order."
