When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 96 Rewards
"Why are you in a daze?" Cheng Muqing pulled his forearm, "The spring is beautiful, I guess there will be spring hunting in a while. Let's go, take a walk~"

"Yeah." Lin Heng followed behind her, his gaze fell on her hand holding her forearm.He dared to hold her hand instead.

Her hands are a little thin, and there are rough calluses on them, which are a little hard and rough to the touch.

"Do you... hurt?" Lin Heng pulled her hand to her chest, looking down at her hand.

Her hands don't look like a lady's at all, not only have calluses, but also large and small scars.Some places have even turned an unhealthy white color, as if a layer of skin has retreated.

He had never paid such close attention before.

Looking at it now, there is only distress in his eyes.

"How can you practice martial arts without getting hurt? How can you not get hurt if you get hurt?" Cheng Muqing smiled, without pulling back his hand, and said to him with a smile, "But even if I do it all over again, I will choose to practice martial arts hard. I like it, and I will I am willing to put in the effort to do it. You don’t know, when I was young, I was doing horse riding, and I was crying while I was doing it. Oh~ it’s too painful..."

As she spoke, she laughed, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"Once, when I was playing with a sword, I slipped my hand and threw the sword. At that time, I almost stabbed my mother, but my father was so angry that I couldn't get off the ground for three days..."

"Your father is too cruel to you." Lin Heng frowned.

"But it really should be punished. After all... if you really can't control the strength, you will accidentally injure others." Cheng Muqing's eyes are firm. "Learning Kung Fu well is to protect the people, the country, and this great river and mountain. I can't because of slippery hands , or if the skill is not solid, the people lost their lives. My mother was protected by my father at the time, but if someone else was injured and no one protected him, wouldn’t that life become a dead soul? I should be responsible for my actions.”

Lin Heng's eyes dimmed as he held her hand.She is always so dazzling, with her own cognition and ideas.Lin Heng felt that he was as insignificant as an ant in front of her, and he couldn't keep up with her footsteps.

Even now that the disaster relief bank case is over, he still can't express that feeling.

The sky was clear, with white cotton-like clouds drifting across the blue sky from time to time.

"Prince! Concubine!" It was Jinxi's voice.

Taking the hand away from him, Lin Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then felt empty in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Muqing turned around and saw Jinxi running over in a hurry, looking very anxious, the two thin red ropes on her bun bumped along with her.

"princess!"

"Slow down, slow down, no matter what, you are also from Prince Qi's mansion, why are you so unsteady?" Cheng Muqing said responsibly, "Stop!"

"Huh...huh..." Jin Xi panted heavily, "The palace...someone from the palace...to...receive...the decree..."

"Ah?" Jinxi spoke intermittently, and Cheng Muqing was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

Someone from the palace delivered the imperial decree?

"Princess? Concubine?" Seeing Cheng Muqing froze, Jinxi hurriedly shook her with his hands, "Princess Wangfei hurry up to receive the order!"

If you are too late, you should be charged with "neglecting the imperial decree".

"Ah..." Cheng Muqing came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and glanced at Lin Heng, "Your?"

Lin Heng looked back at her blankly.

It should be his, and he didn't do anything.During this period of time, it was widely spread in Beijing that Lin Heng seized the mastermind of the disaster relief bank case.

But what is the purpose of this?

With doubts in their hearts, Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng hurried to the front yard.

The servants of Prince Qi's Mansion stood on both sides, kneeling on the ground respectfully and saluting.

Among the crowd, stood a man in a palace uniform. He was very young, but his back was a little hunched.Seeing the two people arriving, he smiled, "I have seen His Royal Highness Qi Wang, Qi Wangfei and his wife. Both of you, please accept the order?"

Li Lanyi?For some reason, Cheng Muqing had a bad feeling when he saw him.

Moreover, even though she had never met him before, she always felt that this person was very familiar.She hesitated for a moment, then pulled Lin Heng to kneel down.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Qi Wang Linheng, who solved the disaster relief silver case, is smart, intelligent, decisive and brave, and is really the pillar of the country. Therefore, I bestow 500 taels of gold, ten batches of brocade, and a pair of blue and white porcelain..."

So much reward just for solving a case?Cheng Muqing couldn't help biting her lips.

What are you thinking today?Lin Heng, as an idle prince, will definitely arouse suspicion from the outside world if he gives so many rewards?
"His Royal Highness King Qi, will you accept the order?" Li Lan smiled and handed the imperial order to Lin Heng.

Cheng Muqing watched this scene, holding his breath, his expression became more and more gloomy.

……

The bustling market and the streets are full of shouts and discussions.

"Have you heard? King Qi has made meritorious service."

"King Qi? That demented prince?"

"Shh! What demented prince, that is wise and powerful, His Royal Highness Qi Wang has a godly ability to solve cases!"

In Manxiang Building, a kind of diners were talking about it.Curls of cooking smoke come out of the windows and float towards the market place.

Pedestrians on the road smelled the aroma, came all the way, and stepped into the restaurant.

"I just passed by Prince Qi's mansion, and I saw the father-in-law coming from the palace." The young man put the rice noodles he bought on the ground and joined in the chat.

"The father-in-law from the palace?" When the passers-by A heard this, they became interested and looked at it one after another.

"Yeah." The boy nodded, "I also saw those father-in-laws delivering things to Prince Qi's Mansion."

"It must be a reward, right? Because His Royal Highness Qi solved the disaster relief case?" Passer-by A said, and then said, "It is said that His Royal Highness is stupid, but how can a stupid person solve the case? It seems to be all rumors... ..."

"Oh, that's not true. I said before that today's emperor and the queen don't want to see him. At the beginning, they wanted him to die in Qiguo as an excuse to attack Qiguo. But a while ago, the queen empress didn't pay back to vent her anger on King Qi. Did the servant who committed the crime below humiliate you in public? He also rewarded you with a lot of good medicine and good things."

"You said... Are the king and the queen feeling guilty about aligning with the king? That's why they align with the king? And no matter what, His Royal Highness is also the youngest son of the king. Back then, in order to win the trust of Qiguo, he sent him If you are a proton, anyone will feel sorry for your youngest son and want to make up for it, right?"

"yes……"

Several people talked and chatted hotly.In the past few years, rumors about Lin Heng have been picked up again and again.

"Cough..." The boy said while pouring tea, "Do you think the East Palace will change hands?"

As soon as these words came out, several people froze immediately.

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense." One of them spoke, suppressing his voice and frowning, "If you are heard, you will lose your life."

"The little one is just chatting casually with a few of you, and you probably didn't hear me." The boy's expression changed, and he immediately backed away.

But this sentence is like a seed, pierced in the hearts of several people.

"You say, this East Palace is really..."

"Then His Royal Highness King Qi and the prince have become enemies?"

"Oh? When you say that, I think of the rumors in the market... that Zhao Shangshu of the household department is actually a princeling."

"Ah? This..."

The boy looked at the group of people making random guesses, and kept silent.

Sometimes, you only need to throw a stone into the lake water, and it will stir up infinitely wide ripples.

……

Imperial City.

The resplendent and resplendent palace is engraved with complicated patterns of flying dragons playing with pearls everywhere.

Layers of pale yellow veils are covered, and the glazed incense balls under the horizontal rails hang down quietly, and the incense floats out from the balls and floats upwards leisurely.

In the hall, a man in yellow was sitting cross-legged, with black lines under his body.These black lines intersect with each other and converge into a Yin-Yang compass.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door of the palace, and then, the door opened, and a slightly stooped figure appeared.

The wind came from the outside, blowing the tassels under the glazed ball.

The bells in the house were tinkling, and the veils were falling.

"Your Majesty." After closing the door, Li Lan slowly came to the front of the hall, "The servant just went to the Qi Palace, and His Highness is still a little weak."

"Then I will reward you with some good ganoderma lucidum and velvet antler." Jin Mingdi said casually without opening his eyes, "You can arrange it."

"Yes, the slaves have already delivered good medicinal food." Li Lan lowered his eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness Qi broke the disaster relief case this time, and the public's impression of His Royal Highness Qi has changed a lot."

"Oh?" Emperor Jin Ming's tone was a little surprised, but he didn't move at all, still maintaining his sitting posture.

"I thought His Majesty would definitely reward him, so I made my own claim and gave him some things."

"The reward is up to you." Emperor Jin Ming said lightly.

"Yes." Li Lan bowed his body and raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jin Ming.

I saw him sitting upright in the hall, like a Buddha statue with his back to all living beings.

The room fell into silence. Li Lan's eyes were full of unknown thoughts, but he still remained calm and stood quietly.

"Lan Yi, do you think I will ascend to heaven?" Jin Mingdi asked suddenly.

"Yes, of course." Li Lan said sincerely, "Your Majesty is the chosen one, and he will surely ascend."

"En." Hearing what he said, Emperor Jinming seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone was quite pleasant.

"Your Majesty, the thief of the relief money..."

"It's all right, go out, don't delay my practice."

"Yes." Li Lan stepped back and left.

*
Qi Wangfu.

The original ordinary and plain front hall was filled with boxes one after another and placed on both sides of the road.These boxes contain either gold, fine silk, or fine porcelain from Porcelain Island...

In order to prevent loss, several guards stood around to guard.

"My God, has this majesty rewarded you so much?" Cheng Muqing sighed, and looked at Lin Heng beside him, "You still like your father?"

"No."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Muqing tilted his head, "You don't like it?" So many good things!She dared to bet that this kind of treatment was only available to the East Palace.

"I have never met him several times." Lin Heng said, "There are even fewer words."

"Oh?" The relationship between father and son seems to be tense?Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, turned his attention to the gold and silver jewels again, walked to the front, picked up the hairpin and drew on his head.

"This." Lin Heng also leaned forward, picked up a lotus-shaped hairpin inlaid with sapphires, and put it on her head.He moved lightly, a little cautiously.

"Does it look good?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded, "You look good in anything you wear."

"Heh~" Cheng Muqing smiled, "Your mouth is so sweet, did you eat candied fruit?"

"No!" Lin Heng shook his head in denial, standing obediently like a rabbit, "I only ate porridge and eggs for breakfast."

Seeing his reaction, Cheng Muqing smiled even more happily, "Why do you eat so lightly? Didn't I ask Bai Lu to make meat porridge for you?"

The sunlight fell on the tip of her hair, reflecting her pure black hair brighter, and also reflecting the hairpin more beautifully.

"You're not here...I can't eat any more." Lin Heng turned his face away, holding his clothes tightly with his hands hanging by his side.

"Then I'll eat with you next time." Cheng Muqing smiled.

Lin Heng lowered his head again, and let out a muffled "hmm".

Just at this time, the sound of sonorous footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.

Cheng Muqing followed the voice and couldn't help being surprised, "Father? Why do you..."

Master Cheng Hou came in a purple shirt.

"Cheng Muqing, come with me." Cheng Houye first glanced at Lin Heng, and then called Cheng Muqing aside.

"What's the matter? Father?" Cheng Muqing didn't know why, and staggered to follow him to the end of the corridor.

"What are these rewards?" Master Cheng Hou asked.

"It was Lin Heng who solved the case, and the reward is here." Cheng Muqing blinked, "Is there any problem?"

"Which prince would reward so much..." Cheng Houye sighed and asked, "I just need to confirm one thing—King Qi, have you thought about the location of the East Palace?"

The location of the East Palace?
"No! Impossible!" Cheng Muqing quickly denied, "Based on what I know about Lin Heng, he has absolutely no intentions!"

"I know too...but..." Master Cheng looked at her with a complicated expression, "I heard what Jin Yingwei said, and I think he solved the case this time... a bit abnormal. What's more, the people behind the scenes have to deal with it. How to deal with it. Zhao Shangshu is a princeling, and on his side, the prince lacks a right-hand man."

"But before investigating the case, we didn't know that Zhao Liangxu was behind the scenes, let alone that Zhao Shangshu was a princeling." Cheng Muqing naturally wanted to protect her husband-in-law, she puffed her chest out, "Blame Lin Heng To find out the murderer behind the scenes, it's better to blame Zhao Liangxu for being unable to resist the temptation!"

"I don't blame King Qi." Cheng Houye quickly retorted, "I'm just afraid that you and King Qi will fall into the vortex of power. Now that Li Lanyi is so blatant in giving you so many rewards, maybe there will be rumors about it. Rumors about King Qi entering the East Palace. You and the prince grew up together, and King Qi is his brother. Once this rumor comes out, it will be bad for none of you."

"I understand." Cheng Muqing nodded, "Don't worry, the prince and I have absolutely no such thoughts!"

"That's good." Cheng Houye sighed, "I just hope...the outside world doesn't think too much about it."

"We can't control other people's mouths." Cheng Muqing shrugged, "As long as we don't break the rules."

"Yeah." Master Cheng nodded.

"Father, you came here on purpose because of this?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"I heard that His Majesty gave you a reward, so I hurried over here." Master Cheng put his hands behind his back, "The reward...is not a number."

"Okay, you've been in the officialdom for a long time, and you can't see anything normal." Cheng Muqing said, "You don't even look at Lin Heng, he likes to be alone and likes to paint. He has no interest in those powers and money. So A person, how can he fight for the throne? Didn't the daughter get married because of his uncontested temperament?"
