Chapter 149
Jiang Ling licked her lips: "Is it very sweet?"
Xiao Shengyun bowed his head and kissed, and gave an affirmative answer: "It's very sweet."
Following the clues given by the boss of the dungeon, the deeper the investigation, the more one can feel that this is a huge and complicated chain of interests, and there are many wealthy businessmen and officials embedded in this chain of interests.
All the participants were arrested, and more and more people were arrested, and the people behind them gradually couldn't sit still.
"My lord, His Royal Highness obviously does not intend to let go easily, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, soon, he won't be in the mood to continue the investigation, those idiots who were discovered, don't let them expose our existence."
"Don't worry, my lord, they won't."
There was another heavy snowfall a year ago, Jiang Ling sat by the window, looking at the snow outside the window, lost in thought.
He learned from Qingyao that it snows heavily every winter in the capital, and this year is not a special case.
Xiao Shengyun came in with a chill in his body, took off his cloak at the door, handed it to Eunuch Fan who was waiting by his side, and strode in.
"What is Ling'er looking at?"
"His Highness is back?" Jiang Ling turned her head, "Looking at the snow outside."
Xiao Shengyun went to the soft couch and sat down: "Want to play in the snow?"
Jiang Ling shook her head. After the initial excitement of seeing the snow passed, her obsession with the snow was not so deep. Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Ling accompanied them to pile up snow several times when she went to the house to see the children.
"How many children are left now?" Jiang Ling raised her head and asked.
Xiao Shengyun: "Thirteen, most of them were picked up by their parents, and some couldn't find their parents."
Jiang Ling: "Qingxia replied to the letter, saying that they can send the children there first. During the Chinese New Year, everyone will have fun together."
Xiao Shengyun: "Ling'er can make arrangements."
The next afternoon, the Ninth Prince came to look for Jiang Ling, who was about to leave the palace.
"Brother Jiang, where are you going?"
"Didn't the government rescue many children before, and some of them haven't found their families yet. I plan to send them to Qingxia for the New Year." Jiang Ling didn't need to go in person for this matter, but Jiang Ling thought, the children will go to a In unfamiliar places, accompanied by familiar people, there should be less anxiety.
"Qingxia, Brother Jiang, can I go? They are very good at playing cuju." The Ninth Prince loves to have fun. Back then, he invited Jiang Ling to watch the cuju match. Cuju match was popular in Daqi, and he paid a lot of attention to it.
This year, Qingxia is the most famous member of the Cuju team. Although this team is made up of women, they have repeatedly won first place in various competitions.
What is also talked about is their kind deeds.
They took in many homeless girls and opened schools for these children to study. Of course, they did not hide that the school was run by the princess.
The two went out of the palace together and met King Liu and Princess Liu outside the palace. These two also went to see the children, so they went together.
With Jiang Ling around, the children quickly became familiar with a few of them.
The person in charge of taking care of them has already packed them up and saluted them, changed their clothes and brought them toys when Jiang Ling came. The place where Qingxia placed the children is a little far away from here, and Jiang Ling was worried that delaying it would delay the time, and waited for the children to clean up. OK, let's take them out.
Handing the children over to Du Zhixia, Jiang Ling was relieved to see the children playing with other children quickly.
"Don't worry, son, we will take good care of them."
"Let them live here for a while and have a good year."
Princess Liu liked these children very much, and with a wave of her hand, she bought many new things for them. When Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince left, she and Prince Liu still stayed in Qingxia.
"You guys go first, I'll just stay with her." King Liu said.
Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince went back to the palace. On the way, the Ninth Prince talked to him about the Princess Mansion.
"The young man has recovered very well, and he is already able to walk on the ground. The imperial doctor said that his recovery speed is amazing."
"That's good. Will he stay in the Princess Mansion in the future?" Jiang Ling remembered what Princess Shuhui said she wanted him to be An An's elder brother.
"I don't know about this. Miss Huang said that the child has a big idea. Whether he wants to stay or not is up to him."
Princess Shuhui hoped that the boy would stay. On the one hand, she saved An'an. On the other hand, she admired the boy's behavior. She was willing to give him a better living environment and cultivate him into a talent.
The boy was able to walk on the ground, and An An led him to her own yard, took out her own toys and shared them with him: "Brother, I like these, and now I will play with you."
There was a thick blanket on the floor, and the two sat on the floor. Like a hardworking bee, An An kept bringing over her favorite toys and snacks to share with the boy.
"Uncle Jiang also likes this candy." An An took out a candy that looked like a bunny from the jar, and fed it to the boy's mouth with her chubby hands. "Brother, try it and see if you like it."
The teenager opened his mouth slightly and put the sugar into his mouth.
The faint sweetness spread on the taste buds, and the boy who had never tasted sweetness felt that this was the sweetest food he had ever eaten.
An An opened his round eyes and looked at him expectantly. The boy reached out and carefully placed his palm on An An's head.
An An tilted her head and rubbed his palm.
The furry touch spreads all the way from the palm to the bottom of the heart.
The boy rubbed An An's little head: "It's delicious and sweet."
His voice was still a little hoarse, An An was used to this voice, and seeing that he liked it, a big smile appeared on his face: "My brother likes it, and An An will share it with my brother in the future."
"An An can just eat it by himself." When An An took out the candy just now, the boy glanced at it and found that there was not much candy left in the jar.
"It's okay, my mother usually doesn't let An'an eat more, saying that it's easy to damage teeth, brother and I, eat one a day, it's just right."
Princess Shuhui made a rule that An An could only eat two candies a day at most. An An had already made up her mind to give one to her brother and one to herself.
The two were playing in the warm pavilion, while Princess Shuhui and her son-in-law stood outside and did not come in to disturb them.
"It's rare that An An likes him so much. With him by his company, An An won't be too lonely." The son-in-law sighed.
"That's right, this kid is a good candidate for martial arts. After returning home, if he wants, he can start practicing." Princess Shuhui's eyes softened.
At noon, after An An took a nap, Princess Shuhui met the boy alone.
"How are you thinking these days?"
The young man was silent for a while, and said: "I am willing to protect An An forever and grow up with An An."
"Okay," Princess Shuhui smiled, "That's good. From now on, you and An'an will be brothers. Your previous name can't be used. How about I think of a new name for you?"
"Everything is arranged by the princess."
"Since you agreed, why are you still called princess?"
The boy opened his mouth, and his eyes rarely showed a trace of bewilderment. The concept of "parents" was too unfamiliar to him.
Princess Shuhui didn't make a sound. She knew that the boy was not used to it, but she hoped that the boy could truly accept this family and grow up in the warmth of the home.
"……Mother."
After a long while, she heard the boy's extremely low voice, and she felt relieved.
Princess Shuhui patted the boy on the shoulder: "Good boy, you will be An An's brother from now on, you don't have to spoil him, you will spoil him."
"An An is very good." The young man lowered his eyes. In his heart, An An was a good and obedient child.
An An woke up from a nap, learned the news from Princess Shuhui, and jumped up from the bed happily: "Great, An An will have a brother in the future."
The young man was worried that An An would be unhappy. Seeing that An An accepted the matter without any reluctance, he was suddenly relieved.
"An An's name is Cheng Yu'an, and my brother will be called Cheng Yuze from now on."
An An couldn't wait to share the news with others. Turning around, both Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince had received the news from An An.
An An had just started enlightenment and was not able to read much, so he asked his son-in-law to help him write letters.
After reading the letter, Jiang Ling was happy with the result. He turned his head and wanted to share it with Xiao Shengyun.
Before he could speak, seeing that Xiao Chengyun's expression was not quite right, he swallowed what was on his lips and asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"
"There is news from the other palace that the father wants the tenth prince to assist this palace banquet, and he is going to return to the palace to attend the banquet."
"Can the emperor's body withstand such back and forth?"
"He may have discovered something, so he hurried back to the palace." Xiao Shengyun took out another secret letter, which contained the latest news of Prince Cheng.
"What did you find?" Jiang Ling thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong, it was worthy of Emperor Chongming running back regardless of his own body.
"I found King Cheng's unruly intentions."
Jiang Ling: "!!!"
"Prince Cheng wants to rebel?!" Jiang Ling lowered her voice and asked.
Prince Cheng really had the intention of treason, especially after seeing Emperor Chongming's preferential treatment of the ten princes again and again, the flame in his heart could no longer be extinguished.
The other palace is a good place to start, and it has been completely controlled by him. If Emperor Chongming returns to the palace, the difficulty will increase by more than ten times.
Emperor Chongming was not a person who was indifferent to danger. He had noticed something was wrong around him long ago, but no one around him was willing to use him. He was afraid that King Cheng would be rushed, so he dared not act rashly and could only wait for the opportunity.
Worried that the tenth prince would be in danger, he couldn't let the tenth prince bring the news. After finally waiting until the end of the year, he released the news that he was going back to the palace.
Fair grounds.
"Why did the father suddenly want to go back to the palace?" Cheng Wang strode into Emperor Chongming's bedroom, and waved back the palace servants who were waiting in the palace.
"Those envoys are still in the capital, I can't just ignore them." Emperor Chongming leaned on the bedside, his tone helpless.
"Father's body is the most important thing. Father should take care of his illness." Cheng Wang tucked the quilt for Emperor Chongming, his eyes darkened, "What do you think?"
Sensing the dangerous aura coming from King Cheng, Emperor Chongming opened his mouth, but did not say a word in the end.
"Father, take a good rest. I have my sons to share the father's worries about these matters. The tenth brother is young and lacks ability. Why don't the father train him personally? Otherwise, with the tenth brother's current ability, how can he compete with the already full-fledged brother?" The prince contends?"
The most true thoughts in his heart were uttered, and Emperor Chongming's face became more and more ugly. He looked at the son who had grown up and was out of his control, and frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just hope that my father can give my son a chance, don't be so partial, these things, the seventh brother can do it, the tenth brother can do it, why can't my son do it?"
