Chapter 456 Monk
The latest updated content is in the previous chapter. I merged the two chapters updated the day before into one chapter, so - the position of the previous chapter is empty, so I actually updated two chapters today.

The ninth prince, Qin Mingxuan, wore a moon-white robe with a jade belt around his waist, and his temperament was both noble and warm.
He was surprised and asked, "My third brother is not at home right now. Could he have gone to the palace?"
This is not the time to run around.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, our His Royal Highness the Third Prince has gone to the Zongzheng Temple." The Chief Secretary of the Third Prince's Mansion replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan paused for a moment and asked, "What is the third prince doing at the Zongzheng Temple?"
The chief secretary replied calmly, "Your Majesty posthumously conferred the title of King Huai of Chu on the deceased thirteenth prince and recorded it under the name of Concubine Mingyu. The matter of changing the imperial edict cannot be taken lightly.
His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince then asked His Majesty for permission, stating that as the eldest son of Concubine Mingyu, it is only right that the Third Prince should be allowed to fulfill his filial duty.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has obtained His Majesty's permission to help oversee the revision of the Imperial Edict by the Zongzheng Temple."
The ninth prince Qin Mingxuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
My father has no brothers, and my grandfather's brothers did not pass down his lineage. There is no close branch in the Zongzheng Temple, and they have almost no say. The matter of changing the Jade Book will not take too long as my father has issued an urgent order.
The Ninth Prince Qin Mingxuan raised his eyes to look at the Chief Historian of the Third Prince's Mansion and asked, "How long has the Third Prince been gone?"
"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it has been about two hours."
If he set out for Zongzheng Temple now, he would easily miss his third brother.
The ninth prince Qin Mingxuan nodded and said, "I will wait for my third brother at his residence. You send someone to report to the Zongzheng Temple."
"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness, please."
The Chief Secretary respectfully led the Ninth Prince to the main hall to wait, not daring to be negligent for a moment. After all, it had not been long since the Thirteenth Prince had an accident in the Sixth Prince's house.
......
On the other side, in the soft cell of Zongzheng Temple.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The third prince Qin Mingjin turned his head and looked at the eldest prince Qin Mingyu through the narrow gap in the door. After he supervised the matter of the thirteenth revision of the jade certificate, he came here openly.
"Someone, open the door. I'll go in and see my brother."
The Third Prince Qin Mingjin glanced at the attendant beside him. The attendant understood and quickly walked towards the gatekeeper and handed over two purses: "This is the wine given by His Royal Highness the Third Prince for you. His Royal Highness the Third Prince came here today on the order of His Majesty."
They didn't lie at all. The Third Prince came here indeed on the orders of His Majesty.
Now that I'm here, it's only natural for me to visit my elder brother who's being held in prison.
"Good, very good."
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu said coldly.
The soft prison in Zongzheng Temple is called a prison cell, but it is actually a small courtyard.
It is square and very neat, and has everything you need.
The guards opened the door and let only the third prince into the courtyard. The third prince Qin Mingjin entered the courtyard and paced back and forth, looking at this courtyard called a prison cell.
"What? Are you planning to get familiar with your life and live with big brother?" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu sat on the steps in front of the house, raised his eyebrows and sneered.
The third prince Qin Mingjin sat down beside him, his face full of worry. "Mother Yu's health is getting worse, I may have to come and keep you company."
Hearing this, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu's face looked better. He said gently, "You are still outside now, don't you plan to save yourself?"
"Brother really is..." The third prince Qin Mingjin covered his face and looked up at the eldest prince Qin Mingyu with helplessness in his eyes.
Qin Mingjin sighed: "I plan to ask my father for permission to become a monk and stay away from worldly troubles."
"Become a monk? Are you planning to become a monk?" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu sneered.
Qin Mingjin shook his head. "There are too many people in the temple. I don't like it. Besides, there was a precedent in the past where warrior monks rebelled. I just want to live in peace."
