The little girl greeted Zhu Jian enthusiastically and also introduced Ma Sanbao to Zhu Jian to meet him. Unfortunately, she didn't know that as early as Zhu Biao's banquet, because of the disagreement between the Fourth Prince Zhu Di and Zhu Jian and Hu Pengju was the initiator of the assassination of Ma Sanbao, Zhu Jian and Ma Sanbao were a little inconsistent with each other. The two looked at each other and disliked each other for a while.

Zhu Qi had a gloomy face. There was someone he disliked in Shang Hao's mansion, which made the prince unhappy. He just wanted to visit the only former prime minister, but he didn't expect to meet Zhu Di's tyrant who had put his man in jail.

Ma Sanbao also didn't want to see Zhu Qi, but the little girl on his head didn't understand the grudge between Ma Sanbao and Zhu Qi. Instead, she greeted Zhu Qi very enthusiastically, connected Zhu Qi to Shang Hao's mansion, and placed it in the room that Shang Hao specially used for guests.

The little girl's enthusiasm made Ma Sanbao wonder if this guy was the daughter of Shang Hao's servant. How could the daughter of the servant entertain guests with such a high status so easily? If it were the daughter of an ordinary servant, she would have been waiting respectfully for the order without Zhu Qi's reminder, and the little girl seemed to be extremely familiar with the Third Highness.

"Wenhe, come in and chat. I have heard that you, the censor, were sent to supervise and investigate Lord Shang? My father is also very determined. He actually arranged for you, an eight-year-old child, to supervise Lord Shang. Are you not afraid of failure of the task?" Zhu Qi sipped the tea in his hand and looked at Ma Sanbao with a smile. He was not as good as a playboy at Zhu Biao's previous banquet, but he seemed a little kind.

"Third Prince, you don't have to worry too much about this. If I can't complete the task assigned to me by the competition, I will naturally go to Your Majesty to learn about the punishment." Ma Sanbao responded. Although Zhu Qi's tone was calm, the content of his words was directed at him everywhere. Ordinary people may not be able to hear it. Who is Ma Sanbao? If you really think he is an eight-year-old child, you will be too underestimated by Ma Sanbao.

"Can you bear the responsibility? When the emperor was angry, he killed one person thousands of miles away, and did not keep his actions. I advise you to be cautious in the Ming Dynasty to avoid losing your head!" Zhu Qi laughed at Ma Sanbao disdainfully, and looked at Ma Sanbao viciously for a long time, but did not take Ma Sanbao seriously. "Don't think that if you have a fourth brother who can rely on your waist, you can bear the consequences of failure."

"The Third Prince is a little too serious. I think I didn't mess with you, right?" Ma Sanbao didn't like the way the third prince Zhu Qi spoke. In his opinion, Zhu Qi was a little too sarcastic. Zhu Qi's style of behavior was really different from his handsome face. God gave him an unparalleled appearance, but he implanted a cruel heart.

"I am just advising you not to do something too extreme. You can kill Hu Pengju and send Hu Weiyong to prison. Such an arrogant way of doing things may not last long in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qi smiled. A little girl who respected him by his side did not understand what Zhu Qi was saying to Ma Sanbao. She just stared at the tense sides with her eyes wide open and there was a smell of gunpowder in the room.

"The Third Prince, come from afar, and don't notify Xiaochen in advance. Wenhe, you are here too. You two come to visit Xiaochen in Han Mansion, and don't say hello to the servants in advance. Otherwise, I will notify the servants to prepare the tea. Xiaohan, go back to your room, and I want to talk to the Third Prince and Wenhe." Just when both sides looked at each other and disliked each other, Shang Hao, as the owner of the mansion, returned from the court.

As soon as Shang Hao came in, he immediately became a peacemaker. He knew that there was a gap between the fourth high-ranking Zhu Di, the fourth high-ranking Zhu Qi behind Ma Sanbao, and perhaps it had also implicated the relationship between Ma Sanbao and Zhu Qi. He quickly instructed his youngest daughter to go back to the room first, and he wanted to mediate the relationship between the two parties.

"Oh, I'll give you back." Hearing Shang Hao's words, the girl called Xiao Han reluctantly put down the telescope in her hand, returned to her room angrily, and closed the door tightly.

Shang Hao's appearance alleviated the sarcastic two people. Zhu Qi's previous provocation made Ma Sanbao very unhappy. He also knew that Zhu Qi might have wanted to raise his head for Hu Peng and made things difficult for him, but he was curious why Zhu Qi appeared in Shang Hao's mansion.

Shang Hao smiled and brewed the best tea leaves in his mansion for Ma Sanbao and Zhu Jian. He sat next to them. He was so scheming and thoughtful about how to alleviate the embarrassing situation at this moment. Both sides seemed to be incompatible. Shang Hao did not want to be too biased towards one of them. He did not want to offend either side. After all, these two represent two princes.

After being an official for many years, Shang Hao knew very well that he could deal with the prince and not get involved in factional struggles between the princes. This is also the reason why he had not been on the side of the prince for many years. In addition to the eldest prince Zhu Biao, there was no one between the second prince and the fourth prince who did not want important officials of the court to stand by him. Zhu Chuang was fine, but Zhu Jian and Zhu Di had been secretly competing. It was no wonder that the eldest prince was already the crown prince, and the second prince was not concerned about politics and was only responsible for his own work. As for the third prince and the fourth prince, each of them was ambitious in their hearts. The third prince wanted to become the crown prince, and the fourth prince Zhu Di wanted military power, and the two often fought. At the same time, these two princes were the most powerful except for the eldest prince and the second prince.

After Ma Sanbao showed his strength, Zhu Di was the one who was most jealous of Zhu Di. He believed that he was talented, but he never met a hero who could assist him. This also made him very harsh on his subordinates and often punished his subordinates. Although he included Hu Pengju under his command, he often punished him because Hu Pengju was not as good as Ma Sanbao.

"Hmph, I don't care about the yellow-haired boy. Lord Shang, I'm here this time to let you beware of this boy. This boy has already harmed Hu Weiyong into prison. I, Zhu Qi, have a good talent and don't want Lord Shang to follow in Prime Minister Hu's footsteps. Lord Shang must not want this to happen, right?" Zhu Qi glanced at Ma Sanbao and spoke earnestly.

"The Third Highness is so serious, I still believe in Wenhe very much. Wenhe and I are friends with books. I believe that Wenhe will not harm me. Moreover, I, Shang Hao, are open-minded and have no rebelliousness. I just want to live a peaceful life. The Third Highness, you say that, but I don't believe in me Shang Hao enough. I'm not kind enough to provoke my relationship with Wenhe, and I'm not kind!" Shang Hao smiled and filled the tea cup with tea. At the same time, Shang Hao became a little wary of Zhu Qi.

"Just joke, don't worry, right? Wenhe, you are still very good. When I think of you reciting poems and music in the hall, I, Zhu Qi, admire you very much. If you follow Zhu Di, but follow me, it would be great!" Zhu Qi sighed, "I, Zhu Qi, used to be careless, how could I explain Hu Pengju and others? I apologize to you for him. If I meet Hu Pengju in the future, I will teach him a good lesson for you."

When Hu Pengju's name was mentioned, Ma Sanbao would think of the four assassins arranged by Hu Pengju and the scenes when he escaped from prison. Hu Pengju escaped from prison, and his life was once again threatened. He did not carry his own weapons at the time, for fear that the bandits would find his traces and send him and the fourth prince Zhu Di to accompany the poor prisoners. He held a grudge against Hu Pengju and Ma Sanbao. He did not like Hu Pengju's character, nor did he like the third prince Zhu Li next to Hu Pengju, who was sarcastic and sinister all day long.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I wonder if Hu Pengju's escape from prison this time is related to you, Your Highness? Don't keep it in mind, I will just ask casually." Ma Sanbao stared at Zhu Qi for a long time. Zhu Qi intentionally mentioned Hu Pengju. In his opinion, it is very likely to be related to the case of Hu Pengju's escape from prison.

Zhu Qi had no anger on the surface. He smiled and picked up the teacup. "If you doubt me, then that is, if you don't doubt me, then that is not. I may not listen to you. Everything depends on how you guessed it yourself. Maybe what you guessed was right."

Zhu Qi did not answer Ma Sanbao's question directly. The deeper Ma Sanbao's suspicion about Zhu Qi was. However, based on Zhu Qi's always-known personality, it was also possible that Zhu Qi was not robbing the prison. For a moment, Ma Sanbao fell into confusion. Zhu Qi, who was supposed to be in Jinzhong, appeared in Nanjing, which also disrupted some of his plans. He did not want to become enemies with Zhu Qi too early, and did not ask Zhu Qi too much.

Shang Han was sweating coldly. As an intermediary, he had not played a role in reconciliation. Instead, the two of them asked about the case that His Majesty in the hall had attached great importance to. He thought he had not participated, but he did not want to mention this sensitive topic. He just wanted to make friends with the two present, but he did not expect that the two present would start arguing by themselves.

"Wenhe, I ask for something. Can you give up Zhu Di, follow me, and follow me, life is no worse than Zhu Di. What Zhu Di can give me, I can give you, and what Zhu Di can't do, I will try my best to help you complete it. Lord Shang, you are the same. If you two follow me, Zhu Qi, this world belongs to the three of us?" Suddenly, Zhu Qi spoke suddenly, which really scared Ma Sanbao and Shang Qi. The two looked at each other with a confused look on their faces. No one expected that Zhu Qi was still sarcastic at Ma Sanbao the previous second, but the next second he actually threw out an olive branch, intending to include both of them under his command.

"Third Your Highness, I am forgiving this, I cannot agree to you. I am afraid that my Majesty will misunderstand. We ministers have always regarded the royal family as ours. We respect every prince very much. In the end, we must take Your Majesty as the core and cannot surrender to one side at will. I am fortunate to meet Your Highness's needs." Shang Qing sighed and said with a pretentious regret.

"It's okay, what Lord Shang said is so good, otherwise the ending will be like Hu Weiyong. What about Wenhe? Are you willing to abandon Zhu Di and assist me?" Zhu Qi looked at Ma Sanbao in a blink of an eye, and actually looked expectant and waited for Ma Sanbao's response.
