Chapter 454: Not enough success, more than enough failure
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The third prince had a gloomy face and said, "Hurry up and send someone to intercept him. If he is really sent to the capital, then Li Anshun will have to go back to his hometown!"
"Yes!" Commander Chen turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" The Third Prince thought for a moment, and then said, "Tell the Second Prince about the leak of the list. How dare you steal my things? Then let them fight each other. It's better to make a big fuss and bring it to the Emperor. Then the Second Prince's good job will be over."
Walking back and forth in the house, the third prince didn't expect that he would end up losing more than he gained.
This is all Li Anshun's fault. He is really capable of causing more trouble than doing good!
"The second son has benefited too much. How can we allow him to take all the benefits? My father won't be at ease either." The third prince pondered for a while.
He thought of Huang Andao. It was just that this man couldn't be touched now. It was really frustrating!
Jiang Youzhen, who was in the pavilion, was enjoying his meal very much. The rabbit legs that he roasted himself were so delicious!
"Would you like to try my roasted pheasant? I've added my own secret seasoning!"
Suddenly, a fragrant roasted pheasant was handed to her. Jiang Youzhen wanted to refuse it, but the aroma was so tempting that she started to drool again.
"Huh? It seems like the scent is different!"
Jiang Youzhen smelled it and it was indeed very fragrant!
Luo Dan used a dagger to cut two small pieces and put them on Jiang Youzhen's plate. Jiang Youzhen was not polite. After tasting one piece, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What seasoning did you put in this? It's very different! I've definitely never smelled anything like it before."
Jiang Youzhen felt like it was some kind of spice. The system had rewarded him with the "Herb Illustrated Book" before, but this kind of spice was not included here.
"I told you it's a secret seasoning, how could I possibly tell you?" Luo Dan chuckled.
"But you can't find it here. It's rare, but it has high medicinal value. It also has a fragrance that increases your appetite!"
"There is such a good thing?" Jiang Youzhen stared at the small porcelain bottle placed in front of Luo Dan. This guy is really stingy.
"Can I have this bottle..." Jiang Youzhen just stretched out his hand but was slapped away by the other party.
"No!" Luodan ate the pheasant slowly, and then stuffed the porcelain bottle into his arms.
"So stingy!" Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes.
"I am not as generous as Mr. Jiang. I am just a young prostitute. Shouldn't I save some money to redeem myself later?"
Jiang Youzhen sneered, "Do you think I believe it?"
"No one redeemed me!" Luo Dan said, suddenly approaching Jiang Youzhen, "How about you redeem me and I will work for you?"
"Forget it! I can't afford to support you!" Jiang Youzhen curled his lips and suddenly saw the eyes under the mask.
She was shocked. If she was not mistaken, those eyes were not black and white, but seemed to be a little purple?
Just when Jiang Youzhen was about to take a closer look, the other party suddenly withdrew his head.
"Hmph! Pick and Sou!"
"I suddenly became curious about what your face looks like under the mask. Otherwise, how can people like you if you keep wearing the mask?" Jiang Youzhen wanted to observe further, but unfortunately the other party had already turned away.
"What? You want to see it? One hundred thousand taels of silver, I'll show it to you!" Luo Dan chuckled.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly stood up and said, "Put your pillow higher when you sleep at night."
"Why?" Luo Dan asked curiously again.
"See if this can make your dream come true. One hundred thousand taels? I dare not say that my face is worth one hundred thousand taels. You are so beautiful!" Jiang Youzhen glanced at him, then turned and left.
Luo Dan burst out laughing, "Interesting!"
Jiang Youzhen had just returned to the room when he heard Qing Lang coming in to report.
"Young Master, Asan has replied." Qing Lang handed a secret letter to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen opened the wax-sealed envelope, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
After reading it, she put the letter on the candle and burned it. She was in a good mood at the moment. Ah San was quite capable, and it seemed that her investment in Ah San was a wise move.
The Third Prince probably won't have time to embarrass her anymore as he's probably in a hurry to return to the capital.
Late at night, when the Third Prince was fast asleep, Commander Chen came to report.
"Your Highness! The memorial was not stopped!"
The third prince's confused mind suddenly cleared up, "What's going on? Didn't you send more people over? What skills can the people in the post station have?"
"We came up empty-handed. His memorial never went through the post station. Our men were ambushed on the way back and returned with serious injuries."
The third prince picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at Commander Chen. Commander Chen was so frightened that his face changed and he knelt down quickly.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! I failed in my duty!"
“How is this not your dereliction of duty? Send more people to intercept him. I don’t believe that he will never take the official route.” The third prince was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
He suddenly thought of something, "No! He came here for the provincial examination. He has only been in the capital of Northern Province for about ten days, and he has been staying in the Imperial Examination Hall. How could he find evidence in such a short time? If someone hadn't provided it to him, it would have been impossible for him to find it so easily."
"Your Highness! Is there someone secretly helping him? Could it be the Second Prince? He has been supervising the construction recently and may have discovered something."
The Third Prince nodded, "It's possible! Send someone to keep a close eye on the Second Prince, and report any unusual movements to me."
Commander Chen went down quickly. The Third Prince was so angry that he couldn't sleep.
He got himself into trouble before he even had the chance to eat the mutton; as soon as he started to eat the mutton, he was discovered.
He connected the dots carefully and his head hurt from thinking about it. He felt that it was the second brother who did it because only he had the ability to do that.
Jiang Youzhen slept well all night. Before dawn, Wen Ruyu came knocking on the door.
"Junior brother, are we going to the provincial capital today? It will take a long time to take the carriage. Are you still not awake?"
Jiang Youzhen opened his eyes and saw that the room was pitch black. This senior brother was really anxious!
"Brother, wait, I'll be there soon!"
Jiang Youzhen immediately got up, dressed and washed. Just as he was about to have breakfast, Qing Lang came in.
Qing Lang leaned close to Jiang Youzhen's ear and said, "Master, I heard that the Third Prince left before dawn."
"Hmm!" Jiang Youzhen responded, then picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth.
Wen Ruyu watched Jiang Youzhen's previous gloom disappear and a smile appeared on his face, and she couldn't help but feel a little better.
But Jiang Youzhen is very mysterious. He always feels that Jiang Youzhen must have accomplished something in the past few days.
Luo Dan had originally planned to go find the Third Prince early in the morning, but there was no other way, as he had to serve this gentleman carefully.
"Sir, the Third Prince left early in the morning."
Luo Dan was very confused, "What about Princess Changsui?"
"Still in the yard!"
Luo Dan was thoughtful. There must have been some unexpected incident, otherwise the Third Prince would not have left in such a hurry.
"Where are Jiang Youzhen and Wen Ruyu?"
"I just sent someone to tell me that since the results will be announced today, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, so I left early this morning."
Luo Dan nodded, and then said: "Send someone to follow the Third Prince and keep an eye on his every move."
