Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 982: Grand Secretary Cui’s Goodwill

After a while.

After breakfast.

After the old teacher left, Ding Yi was catching up on sleep in the guest room. Zhang Ronghua was catching up on sleep in Yang Hongling’s bedroom. As for her, she was cultivating the Haoran Divine Sword Technique in the courtyard.

Until noon.

She waited until Yang Hongling finished cooking lunch before waking him up. They stayed for a while longer, and when they saw that it was about time, they left.

” Master!” A Flood Dragon Guard rushed over and cupped his fists.” Greetings, Master!”

“What is it?” asked Zhang Ronghua.

“His Highness invites you over!”

“Now?”

“Yes, sir!”

“You go back first, I’ll go over.” Zhang Ronghua looked at Ding Yi.

He led the Flood Dragon Guard toward the Eastern Palace.

Ding Yi was puzzled and secretly guessed that the Crown Prince had called his brother over because of the Celestial Thearch’s God Sealing Technique. He shook his head. It shouldn’t be! With His Highness ‘intelligence, he should not be foolish on this issue.

After getting into the car, he did not return to the residence. Instead, he gave an order and rushed to the Huo family to build a relationship with Huo Ling.

In the Eastern Palace.

Xuanhe Hall.

The Crown Prince sat on the main seat with a dignified expression. Only his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

He was off today and would return after the morning court session.

It was almost noon when Feng Jianxiu rushed over from his residence with a serious expression, as if something big had happened. After bowing, he took out an account book and handed it over.

Qing ‘Er took it and handed it to him.

The crown prince opened the account book and looked at the contents recorded on it. A glint flashed across his eyes, and the more he read, the happier he became. After he finished reading it, he asked about the matter, and Feng Jianxiu answered honestly.

After listening.

The Crown Prince gave him a reward and let him go back to rest.

After thinking about this matter and making a decision, he knew that Zhang Ronghua had gone to Fate Academy, so he sent someone to inform him.

The unique sound of footsteps came from outside. It was vigorous and powerful, and it was long and continuous. Just by listening to the sound, one could tell who the owner was.

The Crown Prince thought to himself, He’s here.

The door opened.

Zhang Ronghua came in and Jin Feng closed the door from the outside.

” Greetings, Your Highness!” He stopped a step away and bowed.

The seriousness on the Crown Prince’s face had disappeared. He was now gentle and natural. He pointed to the chair on the left.” Sit.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Zhang Ronghua walked over and sat down on a chair.

Shuang ‘er poured tea.

“What happened?” asked Zhang Ronghua.

The Crown Prince didn’t say anything and let the Green Girl hand over the account book.

With suspicion, Zhang Ronghua took the account book and flipped it open. At first glance, his heart trembled. The contents recorded on it were actually evidence of Yan Lihua’s corruption and bribery. It was very detailed and recorded every transaction he made in the government.

He continued to read it and finished it in one go.

Closing the account book, it was a shocking sight. Just by looking at his appearance, Yan Lihua was impartial and had no selfishness at all. No one would have thought that his appetite was so big that he embezzled millions of taels.

Once a person opened up their greed, they would not be able to control their desires and would continue to be greedy. Was it the same when they were officials in other places? Did Gao Sheng’s Ministry of Works stop after he was transferred to the capital? If they were still greedy, with the uniqueness of the Ministry of Works, the losses would be even greater.

Holding the teacup, pinching the lid and holding the tea, he guessed the Crown Prince’s intention and used his own hands to take him down!

Yan Lihua was one of the representatives of the Second Prince in the Imperial Court. Once he fell, it would be a huge blow to the latter’s prestige. At the same time, it would be a heavy blow to his power, which would only be beneficial to His Highness.

Moreover…

They didn’t get along. Previously, in the Ministry of Works, Yan Lihua had tried many things in secret, but they were all blocked. If possible, he wanted to kill the other party.

He didn’t ask how he got it. Since the Crown Prince took it out, it explained everything.

“Wait for news from me!” he said in a deep voice.

The Crown Prince shook his head and took the initiative to tell her what had happened.

He learned from him that Feng Jianxiu had taken a nap at home after his morning shift, then went to the market for a stroll. Not far away, he saw a masked man rush into an alley, so he chased after him. After a fierce battle, he was seriously injured. When he was about to arrest him for interrogation, the masked man took out the account book and was about to destroy it.

Fortunately, Feng Jianxiu reacted quickly and snatched the account book in time, but he had to commit suicide by crushing the poisonous fangs hidden in his mouth.

There was no doubt about the former’s loyalty!

Zhang Ronghua could guarantee that his men were absolutely loyal and would not betray him.

The Crown Prince spoke again and revealed his guess.” This matter came too suddenly. Yan Lihua would definitely hide such an important thing well. How could it be stolen so easily? Moreover, the appearance of the masked man was too coincidental. It was as if he was waiting for Feng Jianxiu to come out and give him the item. I can infer that someone is plotting something in the dark. They want to use me to start a fight with Xia Shiyan and reap the benefits, or they want to achieve other goals.”

The Second Prince was called Xia Shiyan.

Zhang Ronghua could tell that if the Crown Prince obtained this item and wanted to maximize its value, with his position in the Imperial Censorate and his prestige in the court, no one would dare to underestimate it. Once he made a move, it would be earth-shattering. He would capture more people and severely injure the Second Prince.

In this way, the enmity between him and the Crown Prince was also formed!

Since the Crown Prince had said so, he must have a complete plan.” What do you need me to do?” he asked.

The Crown Prince’s eyes flashed coldly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his face was filled with disdain.” No matter who the person behind this is, he wants to use me. I’m afraid he’s disappointed!” However, this opportunity is once in a blue moon. There’s no reason to not use it when someone else brings the evidence to your door.”

Zhang Ronghua understood. If they didn’t do anything and handed the account book over to someone else, it wouldn’t be a free gift. After the other party had the account book and defeated Yan Lihua, they would take the big share and split the remaining position. This way, all three parties would benefit.
