Countless ellipses suddenly appeared in Song Huan's mind.
This is a fucking threat to yourself, right?
Outrageous and hilarious!
Seeing the strange expression on Song Huan's face, Cuimei quickly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what happened?"
Song Huan laughed out loud: "This person is indeed very courageous to threaten this king."
Cuimei glanced at the secret letter in Song Huan's hand and frowned immediately.
"This Zheng Chaodong, as the governor of Kaifeng, really has great hands and eyes!"
"You have already been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but you still found a way to kidnap Miss Cheng, and you even dare to threaten your highness!"
"How brave!"
"Your Highness, do you want to report this matter to the Emperor immediately?"
If you alert the Emperor's father over such a trivial matter, wouldn't it make you look very shameless!
Song Huan sneered and said, "That's not necessary."
"Such a trivial trick, if I tell my father, it will make his big teeth laugh out of his head!"
"Besides, I don't think this was done by Zheng Chaodong's men."
"Yesterday Zheng Chaodong was still the governor of Kaifeng, so the guests in his house naturally crossed the threshold, one after another."
"But when I went to capture him and take him back to the Punishment Department, all the guests dispersed like birds and beasts after hearing this!"
"He has long lost any value in clinging to him. The defeat of the Zheng family is already a certainty. Who else will take the risk of offending the prime minister and work for him again?"
Song Huan's explanation made Cuimei nod thoughtfully.
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense!"
"Then tell me, who wrote you the threatening letter?"
"...Right!" Cuimei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be the Grand Master?"
"This Zheng Yuan is the Grand Master's grandson. Even if the Grand Master ignores Zheng Chaodong, he will not leave his grandson alone until death."
Shangguan Yi...
It's not impossible.
"Maybe it is, maybe it's not."
"Although Shangguan Yi acts without scruples, based on my understanding of him, he is the one who knows how to protect himself wisely."
"When necessary, he will give up his car to protect his commander. He really may not care about the life and death of his own grandson!"
"However, this is just a guess by this king."
"Who was Cheng Susu kidnapped? We still have to wait for news from Huo Qi!"
About half a quarter of an hour later, Huo Qi finally returned with the news.
"Your Highness, we have found Miss Cheng's whereabouts."
"She is now being held in a small village on the western outskirts of the capital, guarded by several domestic slaves."
"Should we bring Miss Cheng out immediately?"
Song Huan asked: "How is she?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have sent people to guard you outside."
"Miss Cheng is not seriously injured, she is just being guarded."
Song Huan nodded.
"That's good."
"The person who ordered you is waiting outside now. If there is any trouble, bring him back immediately."
"Yes!" Huo Qida ordered and disappeared outside the courtyard wall again.
Since Cheng Susu had nothing to do, Song Huan was not so anxious.
What we need to do now is to first find out who is going to do this kind of thing that threatens us.
Could it be that it was really Shangguan Yi who did it?
I kept my head down and daydreaming, but I couldn't think of a reason.
Song Huan decided to change his clothes and leave the palace immediately to have a good meeting with the Grand Master!
A moment later, the prince's golden-domed carriage was seen coming out of the palace gate with great fanfare and stopped outside the gate of Taishi Mansion in the south of the city.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has arrived——"
The eunuch Xiao Lingzi made a loud announcement, causing the guests gathered in front of the Grand Master's Mansion to quickly move out of the way.
"Fourth Prince? Didn't the Fourth Prince always follow the Second Prince? Why did he suddenly come to the Grand Master's Mansion?"
"The fourth prince is no longer what he used to be! Now he is your majesty's right-hand man. Which prince do you still need to follow?"
"The prince is a direct descendant of the middle palace, and behind the second prince is General Hu Fu! Could it be that the fourth prince also wants to find a backer for himself?"
"Then you shouldn't come to see the Grand Master! Isn't the Grand Master the grandfather of His Royal Highness?"
"Hush! It's better to say less! You are all in danger! Have you forgotten how the fourth prince punished those with long tongues..."
Everyone knelt on both sides of the mansion door and started talking in low voices.
But soon, thinking of Song Huan's resolute methods before, he quickly shut his mouth.
Song Huan got off the carriage and stepped into the gate of the Taishi Mansion without squinting his eyes.
This was the first time Song Huan came to Shangguan Yi's mansion. As soon as he entered, he felt dizzy.
The palace is magnificent and extremely luxurious, even more luxurious than some palaces in the imperial palace!
Is this the magnificence of one of the founding fathers of the country?
As soon as Song Huan stepped in, he saw a young man in his early thirties walking towards him quickly.
"Jiang Lin, please pay homage to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"
"I am the steward of the Grand Master's residence. Your Majesty is currently discussing matters with the Grand Master. Please ask Your Highness to move to the wing and take a rest."
The dignified prince came to visit, but Shangguan Yi only sent a butler to greet him?
Song Huan is not a coward, so of course he cannot just shut up and agree easily!
"I didn't expect that the Grand Master would be so obsessed with political affairs, discussing matters with the Grand Master, and he didn't even know who came to visit him."
"Suddenly eating and sleeping like this, this is the style of the founding minister of Daliang!"
"After I return to the palace, I will tell my father truthfully how hard it was for Master Ming, and I will ask my father to reward you!"
Jiang Lin is such a fine person, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of Song Huan.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious. It's a matter of discussion, but the prince doesn't even receive it in person?
That simply means disregarding the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and despising the imperial power!
This was Jiang Lin's first face-to-face contact with Song Huan. Unexpectedly, this legendary idiot prince was very different from what he imagined.
It seems that it is not easy to fool around.
If I don't inform the Grand Master of this situation, I, as a subordinate, will be ignorant.
Jiang Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and salute Song Huan.
"Your Highness, please wait for a moment. I will go and invite the Grand Master right now."
"Go, go!" Song Huan said with a smile on his face, "I am waiting here, please don't be anxious, Grand Master!"
"If I delay your lord's discussion, then I will be a sinner."
Jiang Lin was heartbroken.
This is called ugly talk in front of you!
The fourth prince insisted on being received by the master in person. When the grand master arrived, he could still make insinuations and accuse the fourth prince of being ignorant and ignoring the overall situation and abruptly interrupting the political affairs he wanted to discuss.
But the fourth prince took the lead and told the Grand Master not to be anxious because he did not want to delay his discussion of political affairs.
Could it be that he, a prince, was really forced to stand in the courtyard and wait?
Of course not!
This fourth prince is not simple!
