Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 573: Trying Out People's Hearts (Part 1)

Mobei cold lotus is an extremely precious medicinal material, there are only five plants in the palace, and they were originally reserved for the Empress Dowager and Empress Zheng when they were sick. Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengxuan gave two of them to Zhenxi Hou Mansion at once. This matter is not a secret, and it soon reached the ears of the prince.

The prince's face was gloomy, and he slapped the nanmu table in front of him fiercely: "That old thing is trying to win Zhenxihou's heart step by step!"

Song Xiaodao: "It's just some small favors. The last time Zhenxihou has personally stated that he will be loyal to His Highness."

"What didn't start with a small favor?" The prince sneered coldly. "He was still loyal to the old age, but later on, it was because I believed in him when he was in the most crisis, and he just said a few words of comfort, so he was moved by me and loyal to me. If this continues , Zhen Xihou might change his mind!"

He has lost his greatest backing, when the time comes, he will be protected by the imperial guards before he dies and the Jingwei battalion behind him, so he will not be able to rebel even if he wants to.

The old man will live another ten or twenty years, and even give him a few imperial brothers. The old father loves the youngest son, and it is unknown who will fall into the world.

As the saying goes, the right time, the right place, and the right people, if it drags on, he will no longer occupy these things.

"It can't be delayed any longer, the old man must die immediately." The prince's face was as cold as ice.

Song Xiao anxiously said: "Your Highness, the fact that the three of us were brushed off last time is too coincidental, be careful to make the Wannian Ship!"

"Bastard." With a bang, the prince slammed his hand on the table, "Then you have found out for me, who did it? I only told you four about this, and it was you four who did it." Which of the people betrayed me? Is it you?"

Song Xiao was startled, his face livid.

"Young Master Song." Li Gui frowned, "The right time, right place, and harmonious people are what you said. In your opinion, in the current situation, do you think you should wait? If the emperor really closed the town step by step Xihou, if the prince is born again, will the prince fall out of favor? This is a great cause, we can't afford to gamble! This opportunity doesn't happen often."

Song Xiao's expression was cold: "It's true that you shouldn't wait. The subordinates just let His Highness calm down, and we can talk about it later. The subordinates can also discuss strategies, how to make the emperor abdicate."

But the prince couldn't wait any longer. He was already unwilling and angry because of the failure of his achievements, and he was clearly one step away! One step away, he would be able to get the throne, and it turned out...

Now that Emperor Xuan made another move, his suppressed anger couldn't help rushing straight to his forehead.

"There is no turning back when you shoot the bow." The prince said coldly: "I want you to act immediately!"

"Your Highness..." Song Xiao turned pale.

"What are you talking about again?" The prince snorted coldly, raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes, and looked at Song Xiao coldly: "Why didn't I realize before that you are so timid and indecisive? Rat ends! For a person like you, why did I think of you in the past?"

Song Xiao was shocked, he was going to lose the prince's trust! "No, Your Highness, this subordinate is now thinking of a plan."

"Don't think about it." The prince tapped the table with his fingers, "Just use Xiu Nu."

As early as yesterday when the three subordinates were dismissed, the prince thought bitterly that his ingenious plan to show off his daughter's grievances and kill Emperor Zhengxuan had been ruined. It would be great if he could find another one.

But at that time, he was bluffed by Song Xiao's remark, so he could only postpone the plan bitterly. Now that the anger was provoked, it was this show girl's plan to go straight to his forehead.

"Xiu Nu?" Song Xiao said in surprise, "But our people..."

"Can't we not use our people?" The prince sneered, "Could it be that among so many beautiful women, there can't be a suitable candidate? Could it be that this palace can't control a mere civilian girl?"

He thought of what Chu Yunpan said about the emperor who was seriously injured by Xiunu in the previous dynasty. Isn't it because Xiunu couldn't stand the emperor being an old and ugly thing and resented him.

Song Xiao turned pale with shock, "It's so...too risky!"

"Adventure?" The prince stared at him coldly, "If you can't solve this risk, then what is the use of you? This palace is raising you, so it is for you to solve the problem for me? Now, you Tell me about the adventure!"

Song Xiao's face froze: "This subordinate is stupid! This subordinate will do it immediately."

Now he has been doubted by the crown prince. If he can't even do this kind of thing well, he will indeed be idle. These staff members exist just to advise the prince, and to solve the prince's troubles.

Song Xiao turned and left.

The prince looked at his back, and snorted coldly: "A bunch of drunks and rice buckets!" He let out a deep breath, and the prince sat on the chair behind him, leaning against the backrest behind him.

Li Gui looked at him, and said cautiously: "The emperor gave Zhenxihou something, do you want to send something over too, Your Highness?"

The prince waved his hand with a sullen face: "No need. How can I buy him with such a small favor now, and I will properly maintain the relationship with him in the future."

"Yes." Li Gui nodded.

...

Zhenxihou Mansion——

In Xici's room, Ye Tangcai was playing chess with Chu Yunpan.

Yu Yang walked in: "Third Master, the prince's people have already started to act. They are checking the list of the 100 beautiful girls selected today."

"Heh." Chu Yunpan's red lips curled into a smile, "Don't let them down."

"Yes." Yu Yang hurriedly retreated after saying that.

Ye Tangcai was obsessed with a sunspot, and looked at him: "You arranged for a beautiful girl for him to choose?"

Chu Yunpan nodded, picked up Yubai's chess piece with his slender fingers, and landed on the fifth place with a snap.

Ye Tangcai said: "How do you know that after he fails, he will definitely choose a ready-made beautiful girl to assassinate instead of directly finding an assassin?"

Chu Yunpan smiled lightly: "He was anxious because of the old emperor's recruitment of me, and Xiu Nu's assassination has already been preconceived, which has become his best strategy. It's like our table is made of sandalwood. If this set is broken, next time I still want to find sandalwood, unless I am suddenly replaced or persuaded by something better. Xiunu's assassination can not only kill the old emperor, but also make him die for granted. Because of resentment, Xiunu stabbed him to death. Is there any more reasonable and more 'fair' reason than this?"

Ye Tangcai was stunned, and nodded: "You are right. If you directly find someone to assassinate, the Criminal Department of Dali Temple will have to investigate again and again. In fact, the common people will say that the prince did it. There is nothing better than Xiunv's stabbing to death." The emperor is more reasonable."

With a "snap", Chu Yunpan's white ball landed on Ye Tangcai's side.

When Ye Tangcai took a look, his face changed, "Ah...you took advantage of me."

Chu Yunpan smiled: "Then have another dish, lady, you must teach me well."
