Prince Liu Yan's face was dark, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with what Xia Jingying's son Xia Tong did. When he saw Xia Jingying kneeling on the ground to defend his son, he became even more angry and said: "I believe everything you say. Yes, it belongs to your precious son... You know in your heart that I am worried about you, the children of the eagle and lackeys who fly around all day long. Be careful if the ship capsizes in the gutter, I will not be able to save you. You I have heard about my son Xia Tong all day long, and I think you will be defeated by him sooner or later."
Xia Jingying kept wiping the sweat from his temples while listening. His eyes were frightened. After listening to the prince's lecture, he quickly kowtowed and apologized, "Your Highness taught you very well. When I go back, I will discipline the dog well. I will discipline the dog well." Discipline..."
"You don't have to be nervous!" Liu Yan suddenly changed his expression. After calming down, he raised the tea cup again and took a sip. He cleared his throat, "I can't blame you entirely for this matter. I will take care of it for you." Make up your mind, but don't think about knocking Fan Enyu down. He is Fan Hesui's eldest son. Even if he takes over your land, what can you do? Are you really going to put him in jail? "
When Xia Jingying saw that the prince was on his side, he immediately said angrily: "But you can't give him an advantage! He is too bully. Besides, we are your people. If you dare to touch us, you obviously don't want to." I take your Highness seriously."
"Don't talk about me. You people have secretly done so many evil things in my guise all day long. If one day I can't protect you, don't burn down the temple even if you topple the candlestick." ”
Xia Jingying was teased by the prince and could only smile awkwardly, "What your highness taught you is..." Xia Jingying glanced at the prince again and saw that his face was calm at the moment and different from the previous time. He instantly felt that the lord in front of him was different from before. He has matured so much that he not only handles things in an orderly manner, but also has an insight into the overall situation. It seems that the throne must belong to him. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot just sit idly by and ignore the current matter.
Liu Yan suddenly snorted coldly, "Mr. , if you really offend him, it is not a good thing to send his son to jail. When Fan Hesui cannot come to power, the emperor's face will be tarnished. If this matter really alarms the emperor, he will still blame you if he is not saved!"
"What your Highness said is..." Xia Jingying smiled apologetically, "Then what you mean, Your Highness..."
"Let's forget about it! Let's give that piece of land to someone else. You! As long as you handle the loss thing well, tell me which piece of land in the capital you like, and I will arrange it for you. ." Liu Yan said lightly, blowing on the hot tea in his hand, "I don't need to tell you what to do next!"
Xia Jingying saw the prince's resolute look and knew that there was no room for maneuver. It seemed that the prince wanted to settle the matter and did not want to offend the Fan family. Xia Jingying could only suffer the loss of being dumb and had to grit his teeth secretly, "I understand, I understand. Just go back and do it.”
Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with concern: "How is the treasury deficit case going?"
"Everything went well and was as expected by Your Highness. Now Prince Ning is having trouble taking care of both ends. Some of his wings can be cut off one by one!"
After Xia Jingying returned to his house, he also scolded his son and conveyed the prince's words to Xia Tong. Although Xia Tong was reluctant, he had no choice but to do anything. The next day, Xia Tong led his men to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to clear up the case, and then went to the inn where Fan Enyu was staying, hoping to find someone to apologize. To his surprise, Fan Enyu was not at the inn. The people at the inn said that early in the morning No one was seen, which made Xia Tong feel at a loss and hurried back home to find his father. Unexpectedly, his father had not returned from business at this time, so he had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find his father in person. After Xia Tong hurriedly rode to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he looked for his father everywhere, but could not see him. He said that he had gone to a certain adult's house to search, so he hurried back to look for him, and then he found him. When Xia Jingying learned that Fan Enyu was missing, he became a little nervous. With his many years of official experience, he felt that Fan Enyu must have gone to his own power. If Fan Enyu was really beaten, it would not be a good thing, and the prince would not even Who do you expect to help you if you dare to offend someone? What we need to do now is to go to the Prince's Mansion to see if Fan Enyu really does something in the court, then there must be some news from the Prince's side, so the father and son rush to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace again.
When Xia Jingying and his son arrived at the prince's residence, it was almost noon, and the prince just returned to the residence.
After Prince Liu Yan got off the carriage, he saw his father and son standing at the door in disgrace. The prince was quite disdainful. He glanced coldly at Xia Tong, who was bowing next to Xia Jingying, and then asked Xia Jingying nonchalantly: "Master Xia , look at the good things your family has done!"
Xia Jingying was so frightened that something happened to Fan Enyu as expected. He frowned anxiously and glared at his son beside him, and then quickly explained to the prince: "Your Highness... Your Majesty..."
Liu Yan gave a soft "hum" and walked into the house without waiting for Xia Jingying to finish his explanation. Xia Jingying was speechless on the spot, his dry throat seemed to be on fire. Although it was already the middle of winter, the cold sweat on his back had already soaked his official uniform. Xia Jingying couldn't help but angrily glanced at Xia Tong. Xia Tong was frightened to the point of paralysis when he saw his father's fierce eyes. He knew in his heart that he was really in trouble. He should not have done anything but went there anyway. Offending that Tai Sui man, he gritted his teeth and scolded Mr. Li and Mr. Wu in his heart for teasing him. After the matter calmed down, he had to teach them a lesson. The moment Xia Tong was lost in thought, he looked up again and saw that his father had already stepped into the mansion and followed behind the prince. He was stunned on the spot, neither entering nor staying. He stamped his feet anxiously, sighed helplessly, and could only look at his father and the prince. The figure disappeared behind the rockery in the courtyard.
In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, Liu Yan sat down angrily, pointed at Xia Jingying and cursed him.
Xia Jingying hurriedly knelt down in the hall and said somewhat at a loss: "Your Highness... Your Majesty... I don't know where I have violated the wrath of heaven. Please make it clear to Your Highness."
"It's not because of what you did yesterday!" Liu Yan said angrily.
"This..." Xia Jingying was a little puzzled. Even if it was really because of Tong'er's incident, he wouldn't be so angry. It seems that Fan Enyu really used his connections in the court. "Your Highness, is this matter? …”
"That's right, the Emperor already knows about this!"
