"Get out of here!" Emperor Jianliang pointed to the door of Qinzheng Hall.
The prince wanted to say something else, but looking at the ugly expression on Emperor Jianliang's face, he finally closed his mouth, bent down and retreated.
Emperor Jianliang sighed and said to Leng Lan: "I called you here because I want to tell you that no matter what rumors you hear in the future, don't take it to heart. You are my daughter and I will protect you."
Leng Lan's silence.
It seemed that her father knew about her previous intention to leave the capital and return to the fiefdom, so he was giving her reassurance in advance.
As for why she was told that the suggestion of "being a bait" was made by the imperial brother, she couldn't understand it.
"Let's go back."
"yes."
When leaving Qinzheng Hall, Leng Lanzhi's mind was filled with his father's strange attitude, and he didn't notice a person standing not far from the hall.
Until that person said: "Little sister."
Leng Lanzhi looked up: "Brother Huang? You haven't left yet?"
The prince smiled and said: "I am waiting for you."
The two of them were walking side by side on the way out of the palace. The prince suddenly stopped and looked at Leng Lanzhi seriously: "Little sister, my proposal is serious. I hope you will consider it carefully.
As long as the Wala assassin is not eliminated, the shadow over Shengjing will not dissipate, and everyone will be in danger. Not only our royal family, but also the people in the capital may also be in danger.
After all, those people are too cruel and cunning, and no one knows what they will do in order to achieve their goals! "
Leng Lanzhi looked at him with complicated eyes: "Brother Emperor, you talk so much about benevolence, justice and morality, why don't you mention who the best bait is?"
The prince was stunned: "The best bait, aren't you?"
Leng Lanzhi smiled slightly: "No! The best bait is you."
The reason why Wala used her as a breakthrough was because she had not known these people's insidious calculations before, and the other party was calculated with intention and unintentional, so the possibility of success was very high.
But now, she was on guard.
Not only her, but all the princes and princesses in the capital were on guard.
Under the premise that the degree of difficulty is the same, whoever has the greatest value will naturally be the best bait.
The prince asked, and the next second, he nodded with deep understanding: "You are right, the best bait is me!"
He suddenly understood: "Little sister, you don't have to worry about this, leave it to me!"
Leng Lanzhi: "..."
Although she felt a little helpless, she was finally relieved.
The emperor's brother didn't mean to push her out to die, but he was really thinking of a way out. Moreover, he wasn't just talking nonsense, but he was really willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the country.
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She always felt that the emperor brother now was different from before.
Worried that the prince would do something irrational on impulse, Leng Lanzhi changed into casual clothes and went straight to Jinxing Division after leaving the palace.
It happened that Gu Zhan came back from outside, and the two met at the door of Jinxing Division.
Leng Lanzhi saw a noble white dress from a distance.
The cloak suits Gu Zhan better than Leng Lanzhi imagined. He has fair skin, and the pure white color does not suppress his temperament, but makes him more noble and beautiful.
Gu Zhan saw the man staring at him with stunning eyes, and his red lips curved slightly: "See you, princess."
When Leng Lanzhi came back to his senses, he realized that he was stunned by a man, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Gu Diansi, I have something to ask for your help."
A look of surprise flashed across Gu Zhan's eyes: "Princess, please wait a moment for me to explain something."
Leng Lanzhi nodded: "Then I will go back to the Princess Mansion and wait for you."
Gu Zhan did not keep Leng Lanzhi waiting for too long. He came not long after Leng Lanzhi returned home.
Leng Lanzhi got straight to the point: "Please Gu Diansi send someone to investigate the prince's recent movements."
Gu Zhan was even more surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions: "Princess, please wait for a few days. Once the results are available, I will send them to you personally."
Leng Lanzhi had already organized her words. After all, the person she wanted to investigate was the prince of a country, and he was also her brother. Whoever she wanted to investigate had to ask for the reason.
Unexpectedly, this person didn't even ask.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, was there really something wrong with the prince, and Jinxing Division had already found out the clues, so Gu Zhan didn't doubt her motives?
But that's not right...
She was a little confused: "Why didn't Gu Diansi ask me? Or, as long as it's someone you know well, you will happily agree to anyone who wants to ask you to investigate the current prince?"
Gu Zhan lowered his eyes: "Because she is a princess, the lower officials will know everything and say everything."
It turns out that she is the emperor's sister...
Leng Lanzhi was relieved.
Although the Jinxing Guards have the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, if there is no big problem with a certain person, the Jinxing Guards will not track down everything in detail. Otherwise, even with thousands of Jinxing Guards, they will be exhausted and unable to track them down. All officials in Beijing conducted thorough investigations.
Generally speaking, the process for Jinxing Guard to investigate an official or royal family member is——
Daily routine monitoring, identifying problems, and in-depth investigation.
Or maybe the emperor wanted to investigate someone in depth, and they then investigated someone in depth.
The prince's previous performance was quite satisfactory and he was not included in the list of in-depth investigations. Therefore, although Jinxingwei would pay more attention to him because of his status as prince, he would not filter out everyone he came into contact with or everything he did. thing.
Therefore, Gu Zhan still doesn't know what happened in Qinzheng Hall today.
Until he ordered someone to carefully investigate the prince's recent whereabouts——
"Using the princess as bait? To lure the snake out of its hole?"
He closed the secret report with a snap, his handsome face darkened.
No wonder the princess suspected something was wrong with the prince!
Even he couldn't help but wonder if the prince had been taken away from him.
As the pursuer of the Wala Assassin, he carried a heavy weight on his shoulders. He didn't even think about pushing the princess out to use as bait. Instead, the prince, his own brother, had the idea of sacrificing his sister! ?
"He's really crazy! Check it out!"
Leng Lanzhi did not wait passively for Jin Xingsi's investigation results.
When she went to the Crown Prince's Mansion the next day, she paid close attention to the Crown Princess's condition and found that her complexion had improved a lot, and the sadness of the past few days was gone from the corners of her eyes and brows.
Moreover, when the Crown Princess saw her, her expression was very natural, without any hint of guilt or apology.
Apparently, the Crown Princess didn't know about the Prince's proposal to use her as bait.
Leng Lanzhi took a sip of the fragrant tea and pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is the emperor still very busy recently?"
The Crown Princess smiled slightly: "Well, he is still very busy, but he has spent more time in the mansion recently, and he can see people for breakfast every day. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
"That's good."
Seeing that nothing could be found out from the Crown Princess, Leng Lanzhi stayed for a while and then left.
Not long after Leng Lanzhi left, the prince came back.
The two talked for a while, and the prince suddenly changed the subject: "The weather has warmed up recently, shall we choose a day to go to Tianyin Temple to offer incense?"
