Chapter 237 Be careful, someone is coming
At night, the banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion was even more lively.
The emperor's personal presence shows how much he values the third prince Bei Yao.
Bei Yuan and Bei Yao stood together, looking at the people coming and going, and said with a fake smile: "Congratulations, Third Brother, you have finally got what you wanted today, but this banquet was held in a bit of a hurry. I thought you would wait until after the New Year to move out of Jing'an Palace."
Bei Yao heard this and said with a smile: "My mother doesn't want to see me, so I should leave the palace early to avoid her feeling depressed."
"That's right." Bei Yuan nodded and comforted her, "There is no such thing as overnight hatred between mother and son. Just admit your mistake to your mother in a few days, and she will forgive you."
"I don't need to admit my mistake, right? I guess it won't be long before the Queen Mother summons my brother."
Beiyao looked at Beiyao, still smiling, and lowered his voice: "Royal brother, have you not guessed how I withdrew from the Song family's marriage?"
Beiyao thought Beiyuan would be smarter.
I never thought about it, I'm still stupid.
A bad thought suddenly crossed Bei Yuan's mind, "What do you mean?"
"Brother, do you still remember the incident when the Song family burned down the school?"
Bei Yuan stroked his fingertips and said, "Hasn't that matter already been settled?"
The Dali Temple had already investigated the matter of the Song family.
Although everyone knew that he was just a scapegoat, an explanation was given to both the people and the emperor.
"Then my brother should also remember that during that period, the court was divided into two factions regarding whether Xie Xiaocheng should return to the capital. My brother did not want Xie Xiaocheng to return to the capital, so the prime minister took sick leave and stayed indoors, right? He did not attend court for several days in a row, right?"
"Of course, the Prime Minister is still..."
Bei Yuan's words stopped abruptly. He looked at Bei Yao and suddenly realized
"The Prime Minister came to court because of you, so it was also your idea when he proposed that Xie Xiaocheng return to Beijing to be conferred a title." Bei Yuan said, feeling more and more uneasy.
He married the eldest daughter of the Qi family, but this did not win over the Prime Minister's Office, which had always been neutral.
How did Beiyao do it?
Then did he break off the engagement with the Song family in order to marry Qi Shengzhu, the youngest daughter of the Qi family?
In just a moment, countless possibilities flashed through Bei Yuan's mind.
Hearing Bei Yuan's laughter, Bei Yao finally couldn't help laughing: "Royal brother, Royal brother, the Prime Minister is the Crown Princess's father. He will help you out of emotion and reason. So, what do you think I can ask the Prime Minister?"
Bei Yao was afraid that Bei Yuan didn't understand, so he leaned over and said, "It's the same with my mother. She would rather break off the engagement and let me leave the palace. Tell me, who did she do it for?"
Bei Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at Bei Yao and said, "You..."
"Hanzhou is remote, and now the roads are blocked by heavy snow. It will take at least until March or April next year to get accurate information. But there are some things that do not require you to go to Hanzhou in person. My brother, please take care of yourself."
After Bei Yao finished speaking, he straightened his sleeves and turned to leave.
Bei Yuan looked at Bei Yao's back for a long time before he blurted out a few words: "Send someone to the Heavenly Prison immediately."
Bei Yuan's gaze turned completely cold.
From the night Beiyao returned to Beijing, Beiyuan guessed that Beiyao's trip to Hanzhou was not without gain.
The prince was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict.
He wanted to use this opportunity to attack Bei Yao, but Bei Yao also had evidence of him hiring someone to kill someone in Zhuifeng Hall.
After weighing the pros and cons, he did not say anything about it.
After all, compared to leaving the capital without an imperial edict, colluding with Zhuifengtang to murder the prince was a more serious crime.
So he held back.
He also thought that Beiyao discovered Xie Xiaocheng in Sishui County, and Beiyao wanted Xie Xiaocheng to return to Beijing, but he never thought that he knew other things.
He always thought that Beiyao's goal was to get Xie Xiaocheng back to Beijing, but he never thought that Beiyao also knew his secret.
He even used it to threaten the prime minister and the queen.
But those two people didn't tell him.
Needless to say, Bei Yuan understood that the prime minister and the queen would send people to investigate the authenticity of this matter, and the fact that the prime minister had not taken any action meant that he had already found out something.
Therefore, nothing must happen to Xin San now.
As long as Xin San is around, Wu Shiming can be caught. Wu Shiming can bear the charges that Xin San cannot bear.
As long as Wu Shiming died, he could become the clean prince he was before.

In the teahouse, Xu Yuan spread out a map and said, "There is a banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion today. There shouldn't be many guards in the Prince's Mansion. I just saw that some of the guards left. The Prince's Mansion should be the weakest at this moment."
Gongzi Tan took a look and said directly: "Master Xu, just arrange it directly."
"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded, and then pointed to the map and said, "This is where Xin San is being held. Young Master Qin, I'll leave the rescue to you. There is a carriage at the back door of the Prince's Mansion. After rescuing Xin San, send him to the carriage and leave immediately. You don't need to get involved in the rest."
Gongzi Tan nodded and said, "Okay."
"Chen Shan, Chen He, as far as I know, the prince has a private vault, probably in this location. I don't know exactly where it is, but I know that the prince's account book is there. If we can find it, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Third Prince."
Chen He nodded and was about to say "OK".
On the side, Chen Shan said, "Wait, Master Qin is saving people, Chen He and I will go find the account book, Master Xu, what are you going to do?"
After Chen Shan finished speaking, his eyes fell on another place marked on the map.
There is the prince's study.
It is also the place guarded by the most palace soldiers, and of course, the place with the most secrets.
Seeing that Chen Shan had discovered it, Xu Yuan did not hide it and said directly: "I am going to go to the prince's study to take a look. Perhaps, I can get something else."
"The Third Master instructed me to ensure your safety."
Chen Shan's voice became deeper, "Mr. Xu, how about this, Chen He goes to find the private vault, and I will go to the study with you."
Xu Yuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, no problem. We will each act separately and use the fireworks from Cheng Wang Mansion as a signal. When the fireworks go off, we will retreat immediately."
"it is good."
"no problem."
Xuyuan rolled up the map, put it into his sleeve, and went out holding the dagger.
Because of the banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion, almost all the guards from Prince Prince's Mansion went to Cheng's Mansion. When Xu Yuan and Chen Shan entered Prince Prince's Mansion, it was like entering an empty place.
It went so smoothly that Xu Yuan and Chen Shan both had some doubts.
Chen Shan said: "Is this a trick?"
"No, the prince always prides himself on being smart and thinks that what he does is flawless. Moreover, the most dangerous place is the safest place. He sent the guards to the prison to make Wu Shiming think that Xin San is there. Only by mixing truth and falsehood can he deceive others."
After making the wish, he caught a glimpse of the guards walking over from the corridor for inspection, and immediately raised his hand. Chen Shan understood and hid sideways in the shadows.
Xuyuan whispered, "Be careful, someone is coming."
