Episode 18
Qin Banruo is well versed in the extraordinary escape techniques.She took the opportunity to explore Su's house and soon found the dark room, which contained detailed information on important officials in the court.She told King Yu that Mei Changsu had wanted to intervene in the court situation for a long time.Apart from these, nothing else seems to be out of the ordinary.
In fact, this game was designed by Mei Changsu for Xia Chun and Qin Banruo.He wanted to ensure that the secret passage between Su Zhai and Prince Jing's Mansion could not be discovered even by agency masters like Xia Chun and Qin Banruo.
Mei Changsu asked Meng Zhi and Ni Huang not to reveal their identities in front of Prince Jing at any time.If King Jing knew that he was Lin Shu, he would first consider how to protect Lin Shu when doing anything. If this was the case, King Jing would have many worries and it would be difficult to accomplish anything big.Meng Zhi and Nihuang understood his painstaking efforts.They both expressed their intention to take care of Mei Changsu and never let him be wronged. Mei Changsu was very moved by their sincere affection.
Qin Banruo found out that the hostage of the Southern Chu royal family was related to the Ningguo Mansion more than 20 years ago, and King Yu nodded in agreement.It turned out that the eldest princess of Liyang had fallen in love with the Nanchu proton, which caused an uproar in the capital. Soon after, she suddenly married Xie Yu, who only had a low-ranking military rank at the time.After the marriage, Xie Yu was promoted to a first-class military prince, and his promotion was astonishingly fast.Later, he became the emperor's favorite by virtue of his status as an imperial relative and the Red Flame Army's counter-case.Qin Banruo wanted to find loopholes in the eldest princess's old relationship and waited for an opportunity to bring down Xie Yu.
Prince Jing entered Su's house through a secret passage late at night and informed Chief Mei that Su Nanchu's marriage-seeking mission was about to arrive in Beijing.Concubine Jing didn't want Princess Nanchu to marry into Prince Jing's palace, so she came here to ask for a solution.Mei Changsu told him that he would use Taichang Taidivination to make the marriage between Prince Jing and Princess Nanchu not compatible, making it difficult for them to get married.Prince Jing saw that Mei Changsu and even Taichang had someone in place, and he was keenly aware that Mei Changsu came to the capital well prepared.He was suspicious, so he asked Mei Changsu why he cared about Tingsheng and whether he knew King Qi? But Mei Changsu covered him up.
Mu Qing inquired about the news and recounted to Nihuang and Xia Dong the contents of the edict on the death row case: He Jingzhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was dismissed from his post, and He Wenxin executed the original sentence; Qi Min, the Minister of Punishment, was imprisoned and sentenced to exile.During this period of time, the two tigers in the capital were fighting each other, and the situation was treacherous, but the situation was not as long as the other: King Yu lost the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment; the prince lost the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and both sides suffered losses.Now, both sides want to fill their own people into the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel.However, after careful consideration, Emperor Liang finally appointed the centrist Cai Quan, whom King Jing casually mentioned, to temporarily act as the Minister of Punishment.
Meng Zhi went to Prince Jing's palace to visit Shouchun who had been dismissed from office.Chatting with Prince Jing, provoking the topic, and on the pretext of wanting to see the double-stringed sword that Prince Jing had seized from Prince Beidi, he went to the room where Prince Jing hung the sword as he wished.
Since the prince was blamed for neglecting political affairs, Prince Yu thrived, and rumors began to circulate in the court that Prince Yu would replace the crown prince.The balance that had existed for many years was broken, and Emperor Liang was distraught.When he was walking in the palace, he was attracted by the scent of medicine, which suddenly made him want to visit Jingbin, who had been neglected for many years.
