Chapter 252

"Don't dwell on useless things, pick out the important things."

Xiao Jingzhao threw the knife at him and said to Xiang Yang quickly: "Your Majesty, the people sent out have returned the news. The eldest prince of Liang Kingdom disappeared in the Black Dragon Pond area."

"Black Dragon Pond is separated from the border of Liang State by rivers and mountains. How could the eldest prince of Liang State appear there when he was still in his infancy?" Xiao Jingzhao was puzzled and used the terrain to analyze the reason.

"Some villagers heard the sound of fighting. They must have been chased. It's unknown whether they got there by mistake in a panic."

Xiang Yang put the information together and came to a conclusion.

Xiao Jingzhao nodded slightly, "That makes sense. No matter what the reason is, it's not something we should be concerned about. Send an order and have people go around the Black Dragon Pond to find out which families adopted children twenty years ago."

"I obey my orders." Xiangyang cupped his hands and stepped back.

"Wait, what's the other thing?"

Upon hearing the emperor's question, Xiang Yang glanced nervously out of the window.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the window lattice, and it was soon time to close the palace gate.

An idea struck him, and he cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates don't seem to understand that. Eunuch Ma has already sent someone to deliver the royal meal. I will come as soon as I go."

After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he quietly glanced at the emperor and saw that the emperor's face was dripping with ink, and he almost ran away.

After leaving the palace gate, he went straight to the Imperial Hospital.

Lin Miaoshou met him when he came out of Changle Palace today and asked him to go to Jiang Mansion to see if Princess Changle really went to Jiang Mansion.

He also told him to keep quiet, as the Queen Mother and the Emperor would definitely punish Princess Changle again if they found out about this.

Who would have thought that he would be caught up in other things today and forget about going to Jiang Mansion.

Chang Le has always been very popular, so the young eunuch invited Lin Miaoshou to Changle Palace. When Lin Miaoshou saw the maids dodge their eyes, he saw through Chang Le's tricks at a glance.

Seeing that he revealed that Chang Le was not in the palace, the palace maids all knelt down and begged him: "Please keep it a secret, sir. The princess will be back soon."

"Don't tell anyone that I've been here." Lin Miaoshou was also afraid that the Queen Mother would tell him what he knew and not report it.

Fortunately, he met Xiang Yang.

Lin Miaoshou returned to Taiyuan Hospital. He waited and waited but Xiangyang didn't come to reply to him. Seeing that the palace gate was about to close, Lin Miaoshou simply went to the only way outside Changle Palace for a stroll.

Just when he was worried, he saw two people walking slowly on the palace road.

"Thank God, the little ancestor is finally back."

Seeing Chang Le return to the palace, Lin Miaoshou did not wait for Chang Le to approach and say hello, and hid his merit and reputation and returned to Taiyuan Hospital.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I was busy with other things today and missed going to Jiang Mansion."

Xiang Yang searched around the Tai Hospital but could not find Lin Miaoshou. As soon as he walked out of the Tai Hospital, he saw Lin Miaoshou walking towards him. He hurriedly went up to explain.

Lin Miaoshou looked around and saw that there was no one else around and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. The princess has never left the palace at all."

"this……"

"I...fortunately I didn't let it slip."

Xiang Yang gets scared when he thinks about it. It's only a matter of words to leave him and go to Taipu Temple today.

Lin Miaoshou said goodbye to Xiang Yang. From an angle that Xiang Yang couldn't see, Lin Miaoshou grinned almost to the base of his ears.

…

In a courtyard in the north of the city, Jiang Zhengming sat alone in his study in a daze.

In the early morning, he deliberately took a detour through Osmanthus Street and saw people from the Ministry of Rites in front of the Jiangfu Gate.

I overheard someone mention, "Jiang Mansion's young cousin is second in the list."

He heard his colleagues mention the name of the second-place finisher.

"Su Jin?"

"No, I haven't heard of Su Jin among the nephews of the Su family. Could it be that he is a branch of the Su family?"

After Mrs. Yuan Su's father passed away, the Su family did not have an eighth-grade sesame official. Su's two younger brothers were like vampires. Jiang Zhengming avoided them like snakes and scorpions. After Su's death, the two families also broke off. He also I don’t know where the descendants of the Su family are working as errands now.

Jiang Zhengming was talking to himself in the room, and he didn't notice anyone staying outside the window for a long time.

Over the past few days, Jiang Zhengming gradually faced reality. He occasionally went to Yang's house to spend the night.

After all, Yang still satisfied him in one aspect.

Yang thought that her daughter was still suffering at Zhuangzi, so she avoided Zheng and cooked a bowl of late-night snacks and came to the study.

Seeing Jiang Zhengming's brows furrowed into a "Sichuan" shape in the room, Yang knocked on the door and said in a gentle voice: "Master."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhengming recovered his thoughts.

Mrs. Yang pushed the door in with a smile, "Master, I saw that you ate too little for dinner, so I specially cooked some of your favorite wolfberry and yam porridge. Try it while it's hot. I haven't made it for a long time. I don’t know if what I’m doing now is still to my liking.”

Yang's eyes fluttered as he spoke. How could Jiang Zhengming not understand that this was a double entendre.

He took a spoonful of the midnight snack and took a bite, "Yeah, not bad, soft and delicious, with the right sweetness."

"Today is different from the past. Yams are not cheap. Don't spend that wasted money in the future."

Yang walked around the desk and walked behind Jiang Zhengming, putting his hand on his shoulder and squeezing it.

"Master, don't worry, I bought this with my own money."

Mr. Yang was as carefree and gentle as ever. Jiang Zhengming put down his bowl after finishing the supper and sighed: "If you and Mrs. Zheng get along well, everything will be prosperous for the family. Our family can no longer withstand the hardships."

Yang responded softly: "I understand that if you take Jiao'er home and help her find a good marriage, we can be relieved of our worries."

"Master, what are you worried about today?" Yang didn't expect Jiang Zhengming to nod immediately to take Jiang Jiaojiao back, so she changed the topic and asked about something else.

Jiang Zhengming sighed, "Hey! Even a woman like you may not know this."

Yang's hand kept moving, "You might as well come and listen to me. I am stupid and don't have any big ideas. It's okay to listen to me tell you my unhappiness."

"This year's second place surname is Su, have you heard of it?"

"Can you guess whose family the person named Su comes from?" Jiang Zhengming seemed to have gone back to the past and started talking to Yang about it.

Yang's eyes wandered around for a while, and the hand squeezing her shoulders suddenly stopped, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Is this the sister's family you are talking about?"

Jiang Zhengming naturally understood who the sister she called was, and nodded: "Yes, this morning, people from the Ministry of Rites were picking people up in front of the Jiang Mansion."

"Sir, that's not right. The Su family was ranked second in the rankings. Why did they come to live in Jiang Mansion?"

Yang knew the Su family very well. After all, the Su family often came to the house to see Su.

If Su didn't care so much about her two unhappy brothers, she wouldn't have won Jiang Zhengming's favor so easily.

When Yang said this, Jiang Zhengming was stunned: "Did those two losers completely ruin the house and let his son live in that dead girl's house?"

Jiang Zhengming's chest heaved, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He said angrily: "She is so heartless towards her father, but she has the same virtue as her mother and allowed herself to be fawned over by the reincarnated vampire of the Su family."

Listening to Jiang Zhengming's complaints, Yang's mind was spinning, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Master, I'm not afraid that Yue'er won't get close to you. I have an idea, Master, are you willing to listen to it?"

Jiang Zhengming turned around and said, "Let's talk and listen."

Yang lowered his head and whispered for a while, and Jiang Zhengming's eyes lit up: "Is this... possible?"
