Chapter 398 You Didn’t Notice Anything Wrong
Inside the carriage.
Prince Linjiang instructed the coachman to deliver a letter to Prince Yan and Prince Jing's residences in Kyoto.
Soon, King Linjiang began to touch his hair, muttering: "Hurry up, must hurry up! We should be able to catch up."
King Hengshan, who was resting with his eyes closed, asked: "Why are you so nervous?"
King Linjiang said: "I am afraid that I will be the next King Huainan."
"Ahem!" King Hengshan was shocked by this. He glared at the other person and said, "Are you crazy? Mentioning that person's name here. Are you afraid that your Majesty's Jinyiwei and secret guards will target you?"
King Linjiang swallowed his saliva and said, "No, no. I only told you in private. After all, that time was really too scary."
After a pause, King Linjiang lowered his voice, "That man also went to the capital to participate in a priest ceremony. Then he was charged with treason and exiled. You see, this is very similar to our current situation!"
King Hengshan got goosebumps from hearing this.
He subconsciously replied, "No. That person came to Beijing alone. We came together."
Prince Linjiang became excited when he heard this and continued, "No. Generally speaking, Prince Yan and Prince Jing were present both that time and this time, and both times Prince Yan and Prince Jing went to the capital to pay homage to the emperor first, and Prince Huainan went to the capital later. So we can't let Prince Yan and Prince Jing pay homage to the emperor before us. We must pay homage together."
The corner of Prince Hengshan's mouth twitched. The emperor didn't judge Prince Huainan as a traitor and kill him just because he thought he was late and impolite.
He wondered, "What happens after the meeting?"
King Linjiang said: "After paying respects, let's see how His Majesty views us princes."
King Hengshan: "...If Your Majesty is not optimistic."
King Linjiang snorted twice, closed his eyes and rested, paused, and then said: "I would rather die on the battlefield than live in disgrace."
King Hengshan frowned slightly.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." King Linjiang suddenly took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to King Hengshan, and said, "Come on, come on, help me, and we will write it down together later."
King Hengshan did not take the scroll. He looked a little strange and asked, "Why? You also want me to help you record the prices of grain and salt?"
King Linjiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! But I don't have grain or salt here, I have merchants coming in and out for trading..."
The more King Hengshan listened, the more he felt it was strange, and he asked, "Why do you remember that?"
King Linjiang said indifferently: "I don't know, maybe Third Brother has some urgent need, such as collecting business taxes or something."
King Hengshan paused.
Because his third brother also gave him a scroll before leaving.
The scroll that the third brother gave him was basically about domestic prices. The scroll that the third brother gave to King Linjiang was basically about the domestic population. There was nothing wrong with these two scrolls when viewed separately, but if they were viewed together.
King Hengshan couldn't hide a trace of panic in his heart.
He barely suppressed his inner uneasiness and looked up at King Linjiang who was still describing happily.
King Hengshan decided to give King Linjiang a reminder as well.
He said, "Oh? Third brother not only gave you the scroll, but also gave me one, asking me to help record food and salt..."
After emphasizing this, King Hengshan immediately stared at King Linjiang's expression and asked, "What do you think?"
King Linjiang paused, then slapped his thigh and said, "Okay!"
King of Hengshan:?
Did Prince Linjiang also notice something was wrong?
Prince Linjiang happily handed the scroll to Prince Hengshan again and said, "Great! It just so happens that you have also been asked by my third brother to write something down, so just help me write it down and then give it to my third brother together! I don't even need to send more people to deliver it, how great, hahaha!"
King of Hengshan: ...
