"Why don't we suspect that it was all Empress Liu who was attacked? For example, in order to help the second prince, she alienated you brothers! Didn't you say that the person who set fire was a member of Empress Liu's tribe?"

Min Weixiu asked curiously, Lu Bing, who was sitting outside the carriage, also raised his ears, and he had the same question.

Madam Lin may have been killed by the queen! After all, she was still trying hard to pull the Prince of Dongyang that day!

It is not impossible for her to support the second prince without a son!

Jiang Yanzhi smiled, "You are familiar with Liu Luan, how do you think of her?"

Min Weixiu blurted out without hesitation, "Stupid!"

Oh my God, someone who can even deceive her is not stupid, why?

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "Empress Liu is not much smarter than Liu Luan. Otherwise, she would not have been without children after so many years of entering the palace. She would not have thought of such a complicated move. Her ability to be a queen was entirely due to the military power held by her father back then. The Liu family was the person that the official family hoped to fight for."

"Empress Liu can't think of it. Isn't there a second prince?"

Jiang Yanzhi was stunned and carefully searched for his second brother in his mind, but he felt that he had no impression of anything.

Yes, no impression.

I don’t know what he likes or what he hates. He just stands there gently, like a screen at home.

Maybe after ten or eight times, I don’t remember whether it was a Samsung birthday celebration or a peacock spreading its screen.

"Right?" Min Weixiu was a little proud. She felt that this was the first time she had crushed Jiang Yanzhi in terms of intelligence. "If the prince became the emperor, even if Empress Liu became the queen mother in the future, she would be checked and balanced by Concubine Cai Shu. After all, the prince has a biological mother, but the second prince is different. The second prince does not have a biological mother."

"If I were the queen, I would support the second prince. I would be the queen mother, and I would still have to be a small man? There is no door!"

"She may have supported the prince, but didn't Liu Luan be a concubine? The prince became the emperor, and Empress Liu's niece could not become the queen!"

The more Min Weixiu said, the more she felt it made sense.

Jiang Yanzhi was a little confused. He looked at Min Weixiu deeply. Could it be that after the two of them got engaged, they would be more intelligent. You see, he became stupid and Weixiu became smarter!

Obviously, he had always been very confident that it was the Prince of Dongyang. After being ripped around by Min Weixiu, he actually felt that what she said was unreasonable.

However, the two of them didn't have time to think too much, and the Dongyang County Prince's Mansion had arrived.

Jiang Yanzhi got off the carriage and was still a little dizzy.

Min Weixiu is a regular visitor at the mansion, and the concierge did not report it. He greeted happily, "Miss Min Wu is here, the princess is looking forward to you every day!"

Min Weixiu took out a handful of silver and stuffed it to him, "The New Year's reward."

The concierge was so happy that he liked people who spent money when they were disagreeing!

He kept sending the two to the second door, then greeted an old lady and went back happily.

The woman also knew Min Weixiu, "Miss Min Wu, the princess and the prince are watering the flowers, I will take you there."

The old lady kept walking and leading Jiang Yanzhi and Min Weixiu to the gate of a yard, which was the residence of the Prince of Dongyang.

The old man dared not speak loudly and retreated sideways.

Min Weixiu and Jiang Yanzhi looked at each other. Standing at the door, they could smell the faint smell of incense and the sound of water inside.

"My cousin Tong Weixiu has come, and he never came in."

Cousin?

The Prince of Dongyang is recorded in the name of Emperor Chai. Jiang Yanzhi is the son of Emperor Chai's sister. It is not impossible for him to call him a cousin.

As soon as Min Weixiu entered the yard, she felt strange. The yard was bare and there were no flowers at all. There were only seven Bauhinia trees standing there, one of which was still half dead.

She has been here many times, but she didn't pay attention to what tree it was.

"What kind of tree is this? I'm afraid it will freeze when watering it now."

Before the Prince of Dongyang could speak, Princess Chai came over and took Min Weixiu's arm, "This is a purple bud, also called Manhong. When it blooms in spring, the whole branch is red and the fragrance of flowers is very sweet. My brother's treasures these flowers the most. This one is about to die, and he is still very sad. I asked him to cut it off, and he can't bear to leave it."

Bauhinia, it’s not a precious variety.

After hearing Princess Chai's words, Prince Dongyang walked over and touched the tree that was about to die, "This was planted by me when I was ten years old, and of course it was of great significance. Have you ever heard of that story?"

Before Jiang Yanzhi could speak, the Prince of Dongyang continued.

"It is said that in the Southern Dynasty, Jingzhao Yin Tianzhen and his brother Tian Guangtianqing split their families. There was a Bauhinia tree in the courtyard. So we made an appointment to cut the tree into three sections on the second day, and each section was divided into one section. But unexpectedly, on the second day, the three of us went to see it, and all the flowers on the Bauhinia tree disappeared overnight."

"The three brothers sighed and felt that people were not as good as trees, so they decided not to separate themselves. The Bauhinia tree bloomed again. The three jings are the same, and the four birds are sad about the strange forest."

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at the Prince of Dongyang deeply, "This allusion comes from Wu Jun of the Southern Dynasty's "Xu Qixie Ji"."

The Prince of Dongyang laughed loudly, "My cousin is indeed very knowledgeable."

Min Weixiu was confused by the side. What's the matter?

She always felt that when a literati reads a word and insists on making a bunch of allusions, she is simply full and has nothing to do, but she never expected that Jiang Yanzhi was such a literati!

"My cousin is here today, do you have something important?"

Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. Cousin should take care of himself."

The Prince of Dongyang smiled, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings with nothing?"

Jiang Yanzhi's face turned red, Min Weixiu straightened her chest, how could she be empty-handed when she went out!

She thought, without saying a word, pulled out a few packs of Hu cakes from her arms, poured out a pack of almonds from the left sleeve bag, pulled out a pack of jerky meat from the right sleeve bag, and poured out a small can of pickled plums from the purse, and smiled and said, "I don't have any respect, the gift is light and the affection is heavy!"

The Prince of Dongyang was a little stunned, especially after she had taken the things, her hand had not been taken back.

Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, Min Weixiu looked at him with contempt, "We two young people are here to pay New Year's greetings, so you will let us go back empty-handed? After all, Jiang Yanzhi called you cousin!"

The Prince of Dongyang laughed and took out a few gold ingots from his sleeve bag and put them in Min Weixiu's palm, "Go in and out with peace."

Min Weixiu was stunned. She had never seen anyone say such blessings.

She was not polite, and put the golden ingot into her pocket. Speaking of which, she didn't lack golden ingot, but she felt really sorry for her meat!

After such a fuss, Min Weixiu said a few more words to Princess Chai before saying goodbye.

As soon as the two left the mansion, Min Weixiu slapped her head, "Oh no, I forgot the serious things I want to ask."

Jiang Yanzhi touched her head, "We didn't ask, but he had already answered."
