The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

A rolling word made Chu Lian almost sober up immediately.

Ze Lan pushed Chu Yu to the door of the private room, Chu Yu's cold eyes swept over the people in the private room, and then he spoke casually.

"Your Highness the Fifth Highness is so excited, the wine in Zuixianlou is really good, it's so intoxicating!"

Su Youning looked at Chu Lian's face, which turned blue and white, very embarrassed.

Chu Wen turned his back to her, but Su Youning could also feel the anger on Chu Wen at this moment.

Only His Highness who was supporting Chu Lian and had just returned to the capital, with a faint smile on his fair and handsome face, was as calm as if he had expected all this long ago.

"Ze Lan, the good show is over, let's go back!"

Chu Yu's words seemed to put a successful end to this drunken "farce".

Chu Wen glared at Chu Lian with a sullen face, but within three seconds, he gave a cold snort and flung his wide sleeves away from the private room.

Chu Lian fell back into the chair, his eyes lost their luster, and he was filled with regret.

in the carriage.

Chu Wen frowned, the good mood of meeting Su Youning when he first came to Zuixianlou was gone.

Outside the carriage, Gu Yi's voice sounded respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, did you get news about the assassin from King Yu?"

Gu Yi is Chu Wen's personal guard. Before leaving, the prince said with confidence that if he got information about the assassin from Chu Yu, he would be able to win the first job in the assassin case that the emperor was concerned about, so that the emperor would treat him differently. .

But when Chu Wen came down from the second floor with a gloomy face, he didn't ask. Now he was a little anxious, thinking that if Chu Wen had any news about the assassins in Prince Yu's Mansion, he would immediately prepare to investigate.

Chu Wen snorted coldly, and a voice with a hint of resentment came from the carriage.

"It's all useless news, don't worry about it."

This time, the assassin in Prince Yu's Mansion was not sent by his mother. Chu Wen expected that after Chu Yu revealed the news today, he would capture the mastermind behind the assassin in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that after the whole meal, Chu Yu's words were all nonsense.

However, he went to Zuixian Tower, but he also heard Chu Lian's dissatisfaction with himself and his mother.

Although Chu Wen was angry in his heart, he also felt that the trip was not a waste, and he could let go of the suggestion after going to Kunning Palace Mother at noon.

Prince's Mansion.

After Chu Wenping retreated, everyone walked into the back garden of the inner hall alone, and walked towards a rockery in the garden.

After reaching out to touch an inconspicuous protrusion on the rockery, the door of the darkroom opened.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Wen came to a secret door along the dark passage of the faint candlelight, turned the switch again, and he sank slowly.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wen reached the depths of the ground, only the sound of pounding and pounding could be heard continuously.

Chu Wen walked in with his hands behind his back, and the dimly lit place where there were only candles before suddenly became resplendent with gold and jade.

Seeing the master coming, the craftsman immediately stopped what he was doing and saluted.

"His Royal Highness!"

Chu Wen nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal them to keep busy, while he walked around inside.

He picked up a newly made gold ingot and inspected it carefully. He was very satisfied and asked.

"When will it all be finished?"

Empress Lu suggested that Chu Lian should be kicked for the crime, so he would not be able to leave anything behind.

Chu Wen thought that the gold ingot dug out from Zizhou should be forged as soon as possible at this moment, and it should be exactly the same as the gold ingot forged by the manufacturing department.

"His Royal Highness, the number of gold nuggets is huge, and it will take three days for the craftsmen to complete without sleep."

Chu Wen's face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he made a decisive decision.

"The forging is suspended, and the remaining unforged gold ingots are handed over to the main hall for processing. The finished gold ingots are carefully sent to various places before being deposited in the bank, and all the silver notes will be taken back this month."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Seeing the ten boxes of gold nuggets handed to him by the foreman inside, Chu Wen's heart bleeds.

If these gold nuggets can be turned into gold ingots for his use, not only can he solve a lot of troubles, but he can also control some ministers in the court and China, and even recruit troops and buy horses in the future.

It's just that the matter is urgent, and the Zizhou incident does not know when it will break out. He has to discard these things and send them to Prince Lian's mansion, otherwise the father will not easily believe that Chu Lian is the person behind the Zizhou incident.

As for who found out Chu Lian, the person behind the scenes, he, Chu Wen, was naturally the best choice, and he was naturally happy to be able to claim credit in front of his father.

Although Chu Lian didn't know that what happened in Zizhou was a gold mine, he knew that those people were sent by the Chu Wen faction. If something broke out, he would inevitably bite back.

So before the incident, Chu Wen also needed to see Chu Lian once.

Private gold mining is not because of trivial matters such as failing to handle the memorial well in the past, or humiliating the face of the royal family by fighting in the downtown area. Refusing to report private gold mining may lose your head.

This time, it depends on whether Chu Lian wants to die with his own life, or whether he will take pity on the lives of his mother, concubine and the whole family of his outer family in the harem.

Concubine Ling and Empress Lu are relatives, but they are not considered close relatives. It is just that Empress Lu's natal sister-in-law is the cousin of Concubine Ling's natal family, and they both serve the emperor in the harem. He will not be easily confessed.

In short, when the dust settles on this matter, he must pick it clean.

It's just that Chu Wen missed one thing after all his calculations. He didn't know that this time someone had already known about Zizhou in advance.

Yuwang Mansion

When Chu Yu and Su Youning returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, night had already fallen.

The two fires were set off very well in succession, and the fire was very strong, with a rare smile on Chu Yu's face.

Nan Xiang, who was anxiously waiting for Chu Yu's return in the main hall, heard the voice of greeting King Yu from outside, his face was happy, and he quickly trotted out with his skirt.

Aunt Gusu, who had been following her all the time, panicked and hurriedly followed, not forgetting to tell her.

"Hey, the princess of the servant girl, please slow down, don't get hurt."

When Aunt Gusu came out, she immediately saw Chu Yu and Su Youning who was returning home with him in the courtyard outside the main hall.

She walked quickly to Princess Nanxiang's side, glanced at Su Youning who was beside Chu Yu, and saluted with a light smile.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Yu Wang. The old slave accompanied Nanxiang Princess to Yu Wang's mansion under the order of Concubine Zhe. Please do not blame His Highness for disturbing you."

The smile on Chu Yu's face was as gentle as the wind, and he looked at Nan Xiang and said lightly.

"It's getting late, let Steward Liu take you to Wutong Garden."

Su Youning beside him felt that the nanny from the palace glanced at her with unfriendly eyes.

The nanny didn't salute her, and didn't even say a word to Princess Yu, presumably to support the princess of Nanxiang County.

Su Youning just raised his eyebrows and was not unhappy.

With the princess and allowing her to enter the house, Chu Yu really treats the princess very differently. It's no wonder that the nuns around her despise him so much, and it's nothing to look at her so unkindly!

Nan Xiang wrung the handkerchief in his hand. Although he knew that Chu Yu and Su Youning came out of Prince Yu's Mansion together, seeing them coming in together at this moment made him really dissatisfied.

He even forgot Chu Yu's previous lessons and the bottom line for a while, and asked in a low voice with slightly pouted lips.

"Brother Yu, where have you been so late?"

Chu Yu frowned, he didn't like others to overstep, not even Nan Xiang.

"Nan Xiang, this hall does not want you to cross the line again and again."

Chu Yu's expression changed, and Nan Xiang nodded nervously.

Knowing that the master was going to be angry, Ze Lan immediately pushed Chu Yu to the main courtyard behind the main hall.

Nan Xiang wanted to explain, but Madam Gusu grabbed her, shook her head at her, and reminded her in a low voice.

"Princess, there are still opportunities in the future, don't annoy Your Highness!"

Steward Liu smiled and stepped forward to salute at the right time.

"The master and slave of Nanxiang County will take you to Wutong Garden."

Nan Xiang followed Aunt Gusu, but looked at Su Youning who was heading towards Luoxue Pavilion, she still couldn't hold back from shouting.

"Princess Yu, wait a minute!"
