C438 Both sides probing

Li Xiaolu carried a stack of documents and hurriedly stepped into the room, "Your Highness, the repair of the library has already been completed, please take a look."

The Crown Prince took a sip of his tea and said, "Put it down."

"Yes," Li Xiaolu stepped forward, placed the letter on the book, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this subordinate just received news that Ning Jiu was sent out by Prince Chu."

"Where did he go?"

"This... Your subordinate has yet to find out. "

The Crown Prince glanced at him, "Did you get any news from Jia Tong?"

"Yes, he grumbled with his subordinate, saying that the Prince Chu relied on Ning Jiu and never sent him out to do anything."

The Crown Prince frowned, "Is there any news from Wang Shi's side?"

Li Xiaolu shook his head, "No, Li Tianxing did not have any news, nor did he, this is a little strange. Your Highness, subordinate will guess, could Ning Jiu have gone to Jiangbei?"

"That's a possibility." The crown prince narrowed his eyes, a glint flashing through them. "Now, the north has agreed to divide the country. The north and south have nothing to do with each other, so there's nothing to be done in Jiangbei anymore. I think …"

Zhuge Qianyu walked out from the inner room, "Your Highness, since the Prince Chu wants a peaceful situation, then the matters in Jiangbei will have to be resolved immediately. If Ning Jiu really went there, it would not be good at all."

The Crown Prince looked at Li Xiaolu, "Do you understand what you mean?"

"This subordinate understands."

"Do it."

"Yes," Li Xiaolu bowed respectfully and left.

"Your Highness," Zhuge Qianyu said as he sat down on the armchair, stroking his white beard, "It looks like the Prince Chu is prepared for Your Highness, Your Highness needs to be prepared."

The Crown Prince laughed bitterly, "After having been preparing for so long, coming to this day step by step, he thought that he could bring Morong Han to the capital in one go, and drag him down from the Dragon Throne. Who knew that halfway through the Prince Chu, he would drop everything.

"I'm afraid that even the Southern King cannot count." Zhuge Qianyu said: "I have been walking around on the streets for the past few days and have heard the citizens calling the Prince Chu their ruler and the Princess Chu their empress. Before, the commoners only knew the Prince Chu as their lord, but now, the commoners still follow the Prince Chu as their leader.

"What do you think I should do?"

"The Prince Chu has an indifferent disposition, silent people, his loved ones have all benefited from the Princess Chu, although His Highness is not married, but His Highness is a modest and learned gentleman, always being friendly with others, why not Your Highness do whatever you want with your loved ones, and leave behind a good reputation, naturally it will spread throughout the four seas."

The Crown Prince thought for a moment, "Sir, you are absolutely right. Just do as you say."

Zhuge Qianyu stood up and bowed, "Since that's the case, this old man will begin preparing. At that time, I will still need Your Highness's assistance."

Zhuge Qianyu left and the crown prince's gaze stayed on the tea leaves on the table. This was the tea that Bai Qianfan had delivered to him last time and was placed on the table untouched. After looking for a while, he picked it up and walked out.

He had just come down from the carpentry veranda and saw Morong Gan walking towards him. He asked: "Third Brother, are you going to meet me?"

"Yes," Morong Gan waved the roll of paper in his hand: "The blueprints for the new hall are out now, let second brother take a look."

"As long as third brother thinks it's good, then it's good. I don't have much research on these things."

Morong Gan said, "This is the main hall of business, of course Second Brother has to be satisfied. Didn't second brother know about feng shui? Why is my palace so disinterested? "

The Crown Prince laughed, "You were the one who took down the entire martial arts world, so it should be Third Brother who takes over the throne. "Second brother is willing to help …"

"What did second brother say?" Morong Gan frowned: "I am not interested in being called King. This Jiang Shan was originally playing for second brother, second brother, is there any opinion that I am unwilling to cross the river?"

"It's nothing," the crown prince laughed. "I've thought it through too. The late emperor said that water can carry boats, but it can also overturn boats. The safety of the citizens must always be at the top of the list. The civil war was the most devastating for the people, and the truce was the right thing to do. What I mean is, us brothers, no matter who becomes the Sovereign King, it's not a problem. Since third brother isn't interested, then second brother will just have to bite the bullet and go up the mountain. It's just that I've been too busy lately and have no time to go to Jinling, so why don't third brother come over for me? "

"No problem, take a look at the blueprints first. If there's anything that needs to be changed, mark it up. I'll bring it back later."

"It's such a hot day, I'll have to trouble Third Brother to come over. I thank you for coming here." The Crown Prince cupped his hands and passed the tea leaves over, smiling, "These tea leaves are with third brother. Tea before the rain is very rare. Don't let the wangfei gift them to others."

When he mentioned the matter that Bai Qianfan had done, Morong Gan could not help but laugh, with a bit of helplessness and doting. "She, is such a disrespectful person."

"Will Third Brother bring Princess Wangfei with him to the Jinling this time around?"

looked up into the sky, and the white sun pierced his eyes, "Forget it, Jinling is known as the furnace, she is afraid of the heat, if she goes there she would be in trouble. It's not far anyway, we can go back and forth in three days, and she won't be brought along."

The Crown Prince teased, "It's better if we don't get married soon. Third Brother will definitely miss us dearly."

Morong Gan's emotions could not be avoided, and there was nothing to hide, he laughed: "I'm not afraid of Second Brother's jokes, I actually want to bring her with me since she is smaller."

The Crown Prince laughed out loud and pointed at him, "You, the mighty Warlord, ended up falling under this little girl's petticoat in the end."

Morong Gan smiled gently, "If second brother meets someone he truly likes, he will know the beauty of it," he paused, "Has second brother never thought to look for the Crown Prince Consort after he's been dead for so long?"

The Crown Prince shook his head and said, "I have not yet completed my task. I will not think about that."

"Zhu Er, she …"

"Zhu Er is a bitter person. Her feelings towards her third brother have never changed. I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. It would be good if she just stayed close by. "Now that Third Brother has an imperial concubine, there's no room for others in his heart. But Pearl has a different relationship with you, so it's best if Third Brother treats her well."

"I thought second brother versus Zhu Er …"

"I consider Zhu'er to be my younger sister, this is how I was when I was young. What, have you misunderstood that I have been taking care of her for the past few years?"

Morong Gan looked at him, "I just think that Second Brother should have someone to take care of you."

The Crown Prince replied frankly, "But that person can't be Pearl."

The two brothers looked at each other, laughing meaningfully. The crown prince changed the topic, "I heard that you sent Ning Jiu out to do something?"

"Yes, let him pick someone up."

A glimmer flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes, "Who?"

Morong Gan was quiet for a moment, then said, "Hao Pingguan, the Head Steward in my residence can finally be considered to be safe. I need someone in charge by my side, an imperial concubine.

Hearing that, the Crown Prince laughed, "To be honest, marrying a maid would cost you so much silver. If you marry a few more, the dignified Prince Chu would lose all his wealth."
