The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 464: Being a melon-eater

 The two of them could think of someone behind the scenes, how could the emperor not think of it? Someone was arranged to investigate early, but the source was not found.

Du Wan has no evidence and will not make random guesses, but this does not prevent her from talking to Pei Hao privately, "Tell me, could it be the Xie family? His family has this intention."

 “It shouldn’t be.” Pei Hao said softly.

Du Wan raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it the Xie family?"

“The Xie family is not the only one who has this idea. Who wouldn’t covet that position? Especially those who hold power in their hands.”

 “Huh?” Du Wan’s eyes widened.

 There are still people in Great Qin who covet the throne?

What Du Wan knows is limited to one book. This book is still written from Qin Yuyu's perspective, and many people's affairs will not be included.

Pei Hao recalled the situation in the DPRK and said, "Wanwan, rebellion is not that simple. It involves too many interests and connections. The Xie family is not yet able to dominate the government and respond to everything. If you hadn't said they were ambitious, I would hardly have done it. I will think in that direction.”

 Rebellion must at least control the military power.

 Dingbei Hou has one hundred thousand troops in his hands, but this is not a special case.

The Duke of Zhen has 200,000 in his hands, Nanyang Bo has 150,000 in his hands, and the other 400,000 elite soldiers of the northwest army are controlled by the Wei family. The emperor controlled the Imperial Guard and the Imperial City Department. In comparison, Dingbeihou controlled the least amount of troops and was not very conspicuous.

Pei Hao doesn't know who Dingbeihou has attracted. At least the Duke of Zhenguo will not turn against the Xie family.

How effective can it be just by winning over most of the courtiers? Pei Hao has been paying attention since he learned that the Xie family was thinking about it. With the intelligence of the Xie family and his son, they should not be forced to start a rebellion.

 Speaking of someone who has this ability...

Pei Hao's eyes fell on the little girl beside him, "If you want to say that the most powerful person in the court is the Princess Mansion."

"What did you say? Our princess's house is the weakest, okay?" Du Wan was furious.

Pei Hao smoothed his hair and touched the hair behind her, "The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is married to the Princess's Mansion, and also to the Qin State Duke's Mansion. Although the Qin State Duke's Mansion is an empty shell with few capable people, the old Duke still has some connections. The most important thing is... you are there in the princess mansion."

Du Wan’s lips curled up, then he quickly suppressed them.

 This rumor is indeed not started by the Xie family.

The Xie family was afraid of Du Wan, and the original plan changed step by step. Not only did Qin Yuyu escape from the control of the Xie family, but even the changes in the emperor were different from what the Xie family expected. Since the death of Prime Minister Su who restrained the emperor, the emperor's behavior has changed and he has become more and more forceful.

Even if Qin Yuyu gives birth to a child of the Xie family, the child may not be able to ascend the throne. You must know that the emperor gave the former Prince's Palace to Du Wan.

 In the Xie family's opinion, Du Wan is likely to become the crown prince.

"Father, this rumor..." Xie Zhang looked at Dingbei Hou.

 Dingbei Hou shook his head, "It's not me."

 “Who’s thinking about it?”

 “I don’t know, it depends on who takes the lead next.”

 Dingbei Hou doesn’t know who he is.

Xie Zhang had a vague guess in his mind, but the other party didn't come forward, so he didn't rely on his guess. If he hadn't suffered repeated setbacks this year and his power had shrunk repeatedly, this year would have been a good opportunity. Somehow, Xie Zhang always felt aggrieved, like he was being forcibly suppressed.

 Dingbei Hou said: "This time you sold a big favor to the Ma family. You did a good job."

“After all, we are family friends, so we can’t let anything happen to them.”

 Xie Zhang considered it based on his own power.

 The Ma family was a big help that they managed to win over. If the Ma family capsizes, the power they have managed over the years will shrink again.

 The charity money lost by Yishantang was recovered.

 However, it was agreed that the auction would be held for half a month, but it was interrupted due to the loss of charity funds.     It's just things donated by others, which still need to be auctioned.

Qin Yuyu stood up again and apologized in public at Yishantang. His attitude was sincere and generous, which won the favor of a group of people. Having the courage to admit and correct things when you have done something wrong unintentionally is also an excellent virtue. People usually do not dislike such people.

What's more, Qin Yuyu cannot be entirely blamed for the loss of the charity money. At most, it is her lack of supervision.

On the day Qin Yuyu admitted his mistake, Du Wan wandered to Yishan Hall and saw it.

Du Wan would not admit it, she did it on purpose.

While watching, I ate melon seeds.

　　Properly melon-eating people.

Qin Yuyu was originally speaking with great emotion.

Unexpectedly, when I raised my head, I met Du Wan’s gossipy eyes, and I forgot my words in an instant!

Tang Zhixing secretly reminded Qin Yuyu, "Princess?"

"Uh." Qin Yuyu apologized to everyone, "The last auction was interrupted, and there is a backlog of items donated by well-wishers in the warehouse. We can't just leave them like this. So, after everyone's joint discussion, after three days The last auction will be held at Yishantang.”

Qin Yuyu took another list from the palace lady, "The specific auction items will be displayed in the list and posted on the public notice wall of Yishan Hall, and the proceeds will be given directly to the government."

This time the money will not pass through their hands, the government will be directly involved.

 The person responsible for maintaining order is the Imperial City Secretary.

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuyu left the stage, accompanied by Tang Zhixing.

Out of everyone's sight, Qin Yuyu's smile suddenly changed, "Why did she come here? Hasn't she always paid no attention to the affairs of Yishantang? She didn't even donate anything."

 “Who does she refer to?” Tang Zhixing asked doubtfully.

　Judging from Qin Yuyu’s tone, this person had a grudge against her.

Qin Yuyu's expression froze and he was so angry that he even forgot that Tang Zhixing was following behind him.

The two people were engaged, but they were not married yet. Qin Yuyu was still very careful about her image in front of him, but Qin Yuyu soon returned to normal, "It's Du Wan, has Princess Jiaoyang heard of it?"

"Know."

"She has always had misunderstandings about me. This time she did not donate anything to Yishantang, probably because of my relationship." Qin Yuyu's voice was normal.

Tang Zhixing recalled that Du Wan, who saved him, was a very straightforward and honest girl, "The princess is very nice, are you overthinking it? I heard that the princess donated all her private money and had it sent directly to the government. ."

Hearing this, Qin Yuyu felt something in his heart.

 Are you blind? How is that woman okay?

 It is easy to find out the fact that Du Wan donated his private house.

Even if Qin Yuyu knew it, she would naturally ignore it and only remember the bad things about Du Wan. Anyway, when she stood on the stage to apologize today, Du Wan in the audience was just watching her joke.

 It's strange that Qin Yuyu was in a good mood after being teased by his enemies.

Tang Zhixing noticed something was wrong with her mood, "Princess, how about going to the opera house later?"

"No…"

 Qin Yuyu was about to refuse.

Tang Zhixing smiled calmly and said, "I'm in a bad mood, so it's good to go shopping."

 “Okay.” Qin Yuyu met his gentle and tolerant gaze and nodded mysteriously.
