Chapter 1070 Dark Heart
"Stop?" The Crown Prince of Shu looked at his wife gloomily, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Is it time to stop now?! I have spent so much effort on the layout, and now there is only one step left!"
He was only one step away from defeating Zhao Mo. When His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to adopt an heir, there would no longer be Zhao Mo standing in front of his son!
The Crown Prince of Shu smiled miserably: "But is this plan really possible for the Crown Prince? The Beirong people have been targeted by people from the Imperial City's Secret Intelligence Department. Do you think the people from the Secret Intelligence Department know that they asked Zhao Qi to do so?"
What are you doing? Prince Suning is not a fool. Once he knows that someone wants to plot against him, he should report to the East Palace. The prince will go to the East Palace again and say a few words to sow discord, even if people don't know that it is the prince who is behind it.
The instigator will also guess what happened to you! By that time, even if the prince wants to stop, it will be too late! We are originally sinners, and it is only through the grace of the emperor and the queen mother that we can survive. If we can even do this
The grace has been lost. Life for you and me as a couple would be worse than death. I am afraid that even our two children will be worse than death!"
She couldn't help crying: "The prince has been planning this for a long time, isn't it just for his son's future? Just think of it as for the safety of the children, stop now, before it's too late!"
The Prince of Shu choked up at her words. For the sake of his son's future, that was originally the reason why he persuaded his wife to cooperate with him, but now that he heard it in his ears, it felt a bit harsh.
He turned his head away, unmoved: "You put it lightly, even if we stop our hands, will we be able to live a better life in the future? If we don't fight, even if Dalang has the protection of the Queen Mother in the future, he will not be able to say that he will have any peace.
What a future there is. How old is the Queen Mother now? How many more years can she live?! When she was alive, the emperor would still treat our family more mercifully for her sake. But when she is gone, he will not
We care about our life and death! By then, the two children will have a bad life, and you and I will be worse off than death! It’s better to devote all our efforts to fight for the position of the emperor’s heir this time. If we fail, we will even lose it.
It’s no big deal if you take your life, it’s better than living a life of groveling and relying on the mercy of others!”
The Crown Princess of Shu's legs went weak and she fell down on the stool, murmuring: "So... the Crown Prince thought so..." Do you want to fight for your future even if you risk your life? But...
How could these two children deserve it?! Obviously they can live a good life without having to do anything, but now they are forced by their father to take such a huge risk...
After a while, she choked and said to her husband: "The two children are still young, what do they know? Even if the Queen Mother is gone, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will not care about the two children. It doesn't matter if we suffer more."
, as long as the children are safe. I don’t ask for a good future for Da Lang. If I can get a small title, a house, and some property, so that he can have enough food and clothing, I will be satisfied.
It's not like he has to run errands to support himself." She knew the temperament of Crown Princess Tang, and she had a good relationship with Tang. She believed that the Crown Princess would protect her two children. With this little wish, she wanted
It's not difficult to implement.
It’s better not to take the risk!
The Prince of Shu's face darkened. He found that his wife was becoming more and more disobedient. She was obviously already so ill...
He took two deep breaths and tried to say to his wife in a calm tone: "There are many idlers in the clan who are just waiting to die. You think that life will be stable like that. Why don't you think about your son and grandson? Could it be that he will have a grandson in the future?"
You don’t have to support your children after you give birth? How many children and grandchildren can you support with a small title and a small industry?! And I don’t know if my daughter, who looks like her now, can be raised. But she is protected by the Queen Mother and the imperial physician.
Treating her with care, who says she can’t grow up? When she grows up, she should get married, right? What to do with the dowry? She has difficulty walking, what kind of good marriage can she have? Can you bear to wrong your daughter and marry her in a way that won’t make a difference?
A man?! Without power and status, our children can’t even live a decent life. How can you be satisfied by not having to worry about food and clothing?!”
The Crown Princess of Shu turned pale, lowered her head and said nothing.
The prince of Shu then softened his tone: "As long as Dalang can become the heir of the East Palace, the emperor will not embarrass him, and he will be more tolerant to our husband and wife. When Dalang grows up and ascends the throne,
Those will be our good days! By then, even our daughter will not have to worry about being wronged, and it will not be a problem to find any kind of young talent as her son-in-law. Think about the situation at that time, and then look at it now
, can you still tell me to stop?!"
Why can't you tell me? Even if the two children are allowed to live in poverty all their lives, what does it matter? Even if the daughter does not marry and lives at home for the rest of her life, what does it matter? At least the family is neat and safe, so there is no need to risk that
Risking one's life, fighting for a so-called good future, but there is a huge possibility that even the lives of the two children will be lost before they grow up...
The Crown Prince of Shu's eyes were filled with tears. She rolled up a piece of handkerchief into a twist with her hands, but she did not dare to look at her husband. No matter how much she had in her heart, she could not say it out because she knew that her husband would not listen to her.
Yes, telling her will only make him angry. Then he may never let her know what he is doing in the future. How can she protect her own flesh and blood?!
She gritted her teeth for a long time before persuading her again: "The prince's idea is good, but we must first keep our family safe before we can improve the future. For example, this time, if the wind outside is not in the right direction, the prince will still stop.
Let's keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. As long as our family can be safe and sound, if we can't do it this time, there may not be a second chance in the future. But if we lose the protection of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, what can we talk about in the future?
?”
The prince of Shu thought to himself that he could accept his wife's proposal. The temporary concession did not mean cowardice, it was just acting according to the situation.
He said to his wife: "I know it well, don't worry."
After being reminded by his wife, the prince of Shu thought for a night and calmed down a lot. Now that Beirong's secret ally is gone, he can only rely on himself. Without help, he really needs to be more careful. In the palace
He still had a lot of eyes and ears over there, so he had to check first to see if brothers Zhao Qi and Zhao Mo had revealed any information to the palace, and if the prince had become suspicious.
He once bribed the prince's chamberlain, who was not a confidant to help with confidential matters, but just paid money to get some gossip. There are many people who do this, and it is nothing. The chamberlain has a sense of proportion and will not leak the East Palace.
He only received a small amount of money for important information, so naturally he wouldn't report anyone. In order to provoke the prince to come to Suning County Prince's Mansion, the Prince of Shu was prepared with both hands.
, but the latter didn't know his true intention, and thought he wanted to curry favor with the prince and Zhao Mo, who was rumored to be the prince's heir.
He who can accompany the prince to Suning County Prince's Mansion will do all the next things himself.
But now something went wrong with the Beirong people, and he couldn't find out the details. He didn't know how much Zhao Mo or even the prince had guessed about his plan. Some things he had to do personally might be inappropriate.
Now. He still has to be careful that the chamberlain betrays him.
But he couldn't really stop there and leave the big plans that he had originally arranged. The servants had already made arrangements, and he was also ready for the palace people. If he didn't say anything, the two sides would follow the original plan.
It’s a plan. If the prince doesn’t know what the Beirong people are planning, it’s fine. If he knows, how can he not be suspicious? What if he follows the clues and finds out about himself...
The Crown Prince of Shu gritted his teeth and felt that the boldness and evil heart of the men in black was no longer a shortcoming. In order to ensure his own safety, he might also need to be so bold and evil. As long as no flaws are exposed, many people in the palace will die.
A few people are just ordinary people. When necessary, he has to find someone to take the blame for himself. Even if there is trouble, it will not fall on him.
Besides, this is just in case. Maybe his luck is not that bad? It is obviously a half-successful plan. He only needs to take the last step. It would be a pity to give up right now...
The prince of Shu thought again and again and entered the palace as usual according to the original plan.
He first went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, answered the Queen Mother's inquiries about the illness of the Crown Princess, was scolded again, and once again expressed his innocence. He saw the two children, and carefully asked about his son's recent interactions with others in the palace.
After learning about the contact and conversation, especially his experience with Crown Princess Tang, he resigned with confidence. During this period, his eyes and ears in Cining Palace also conveyed the latest news in the palace to his ears.
When he learned that Zhao Mo and Zhao Qi had indeed entered the palace on the day when the Beirong secret agents were targeted by the Imperial City Secret Service, Prince Shu's heart sank, and he cursed secretly, but refused to give up, so he tried to pretend
He acted as if nothing had happened and went to the East Palace.
Everything in the East Palace was as usual and seemed very peaceful. The prince was discussing business with his officials and naturally had no time to see the prince of Shu, so he asked him to have tea first. The servant who was usually responsible for greeting the prince of Shu came up with a smile on his face.
The Crown Prince of Shu wanted to see something going on in the East Palace from the other person's face, but he couldn't find anything. He couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, but he still showed a kind smile on his face and stuffed the other person's wallet.
When the waiter squeezed the purse and saw a piece of paper inside, he knew it was a banknote. In the palace, the banknote was often worth more than silver and gold ingots. He quickly sleeved the purse, and his face immediately showed an even brighter expression.
Smiling, the tea brought by the order became a tribute instead of just using tea foam to deal with it. He also reminded the Prince of Shu in a low voice: "The Crown Princess has been in a bad mood these past two days. Prince, please be careful.
, Don’t offend the empress’s taboo.” Recently, the Crown Princess has been displeased with the Crown Prince of Shu, and I can’t help but say that it’s all because of the Crown Prince of Shu.
The Prince of Shu blinked and asked as if he had no intention of doing so: "What happened to the Crown Princess this time? Is it the Crown Princess Liangdi who is causing trouble again?"
The chamberlain raised his eyebrows: "Where are you? It's the Queen Mother's decree, asking our queen to audition for His Highness. Empress Liangdi is already so angry that she's sick, how can we still make a fuss?"
The prince of Shu could not help but be astonished.
There is a talent show in the East Palace? Is this because the Queen Mother and the Emperor are unwilling to give up and want the Prince to have children with another woman? So what should we do about the step-heir?
