Hearing what he said, Xie Xun immediately asked, "Since you have found a way to make money, you should naturally make a fortune quietly. What is your purpose of sending the fan over and exposing your identity?"
The third prince brushed his hand, put away his fan, and sighed, "Brother, I want to stay away from the court and be an idle prince. I can just do this low-rate business, and I won't offend anyone. I can live happily for the rest of my life."
Already..."
"But I want to be a laid-back person, but some people don't agree."
"I think some ministers in the court are really blind. They are not on your side, brother emperor, nor on the fourth brother's side. Instead, they came to my house and asked me if I wanted to participate in the fight for the heir. Brother emperor, do you think I have the courage?
?Forget it, even the fourth child came to my house a few times and was scolded by me. "
"These are all trivial matters. Brother Emperor, do you know that since my father became seriously ill, he called me several times to inquire about my thoughts. I am really scared. Son of the Tian family, I am afraid that I will accidentally take a wrong step.
The fun days in the rest of my life will be gone."
The third prince chattered a lot.
"Since you don't want to participate in the court struggle, and you don't want to participate in the fight for the heir, then why are you coming to see me?" Xie Xun asked.
"Don't I think the one who has a better chance of winning is you, Brother Huang? And I think I have some friendship with Brother Huang, and Brother Huang won't ignore me, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang was a little curious.
As far as she knew, Xie Xun was valued by Taoist Yiqing because he was a child, which aroused the jealousy of Emperor Qi. Therefore, when he was young, his brothers were not necessarily very kind to him, and their brotherly love was weak.
She didn't know what kind of relationship Xie Xun would have with the third prince.
Xie Xun felt Qin Rushuang's probing eyes, so he explained in a few words what happened when the two were young.
It turns out that when he was a child, Xie Xun aroused the jealousy of Emperor Qi and other princes. But at that time, the imperial concubine was being favored, and he himself had a character that refused to admit defeat. The prince and the fourth prince teased him several times without success, so he
He turned his target to the third prince.
The third prince's mother-in-law came from a humble background and had a timid personality when she was a child. She was always bullied by the prince and the fourth prince.
Xie Xun sometimes saw that they went too far and went up to help the third prince to relieve me so many times that the third prince made a note of it in his mind.
After he became an adult, although he did not show his closeness to Xie Xun, the two actually had a good relationship in private.
Before Qin Rushuang married into Prince Huai's palace, they were often in contact with each other. Later, as the battle for the right to inherit the throne became increasingly fierce, the two of them broke off their relationship to avoid suspicion.
After listening to Xie Xun's explanation, Qin Rushuang nodded clearly.
Then he turned his attention to the third prince and asked: "There is no free lunch in this world. The third prince took the initiative to show his kindness to our prince. Does he want to join our prince's camp?"
The third prince quickly waved his hand and said, Second sister-in-law! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! I don't want to join any party, at least not on the surface."
"On the surface, I am still the ignorant Prince Xiaoyao, but privately, I naturally help my second brother whenever I can. I only hope that in the future, my second brother will be honored as a great treasure and can point me to a wealthy fiefdom.
, let me live a happy life."
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to show his trump card to Xie Xun.
"Second brother, I come here with sincerity this time. That Zhou Ci is mine."
As soon as these words came out, not only Xie Xun, but also Qin Rushuang was very surprised.
She had always thought that Zhou Ci would take over the imperial city army. Emperor Qi didn't want to see either of the fourth princes or Xie Xun being too strong, so he found an unrelated person to take over. But she didn't expect that there would be three of them.
The handwriting of the prince.
The third prince explained, "I know, brother, you made a deal with Xiao Shan and wanted to regain the military power of the Imperial City Army. But think about it, if you go directly, the fear of the fourth child in the father's heart will become
That’s right for you, so I’ll let Zhou Ci take over the Imperial City Army first, and then I’ll find a way to give you the military power.”
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "You never do anything without preparation. Tell me, what else is there besides the imperial city?"
The third prince chuckled and said: "Since I have chosen to take refuge with my second brother, I naturally have to share my worries with him! The spy who poisoned the palace last time, the fourth brother, happened to be taken away by me before my second sister-in-law."
.”
"Also, I know that General Zhu, your second brother, is interested in Gu Meiren, so I deliberately leaked the news to the fourth brother and asked him to take the initiative to expose the matter. Second brother, you can use the trick to let Gu Meiren and General Zhu
You can have a family that will last forever."
Seeing what Qin Rushuang wanted to say, he quickly said, "Second sister-in-law, I don't have any bad intentions! I just thought that if the fourth child provoked this matter, even if my father comes to investigate in the future, it won't be found on you.
Let alone have any doubts about Gu Meiren's death, after all, if you took the initiative to do this, then Gu Meiren's death would be too strange."
After hearing the third prince explain everything that happened during this period, Qin Rushuang felt a little emotional.
She was a little lucky.
It had to be said that the third prince was much smarter than she thought, and he was also very sensitive in controlling information from all parties in the capital.
She was thankful that Xie Xun's kindness in childhood prevented the third prince from standing against them.
Otherwise, such a thoughtful person would be much more difficult to deal with than Xie Yang
After listening to what he said, Xie Xun nodded and said: "I understand what you have done. Don't worry. As long as you can control the degree, if I really win, I will naturally do what you want and let me win."
You can be a cool prince, but if I lose, I will not involve you. At most, the fourth child will make things more difficult for you in the future."
Speaking of this, the third prince said with a bitter face: "Second brother, you don't know that in order to plan this for you, I took the initiative to reveal my identity to the fourth brother and the left minister Xiao Shan. If you lose, second brother, let the old man
If the Fourth is in power, he will definitely make things difficult for me for the rest of my life. Second brother, you must take care of the Fourth and become the emperor!"
Seeing the third prince like this, Xie Xun was a little amused: "You are also a prince, don't you want to ascend to that position?"
The third prince gave him a confused look and said: "In terms of power, I am not like the fourth child, who has a leftist grandpa behind him; in terms of origin, I am not like the prince, who is the direct descendant of the queen; in terms of merit, I am even less like the second prince.
Brother, you have so many merits and deeds, how dare I think of participating in the fight for the right to inherit the throne? Do you think I am worthy?"
His words made Qin Rushuang laugh.
Now that she knew that the person behind the scenes was the third prince, Qin Rushuang's worries faded away.
Seeing that the two brothers did seem to have a good relationship, Qin Rushuang did not stay here to disturb them. She stood up and said, "I'm going to order someone to make some cakes. Your Majesty, you and the third prince can chat first."
After she finished speaking, she left.
After Qin Rushuang left, only Xie Xun and the third prince were left in the living room.
The third prince suddenly came closer and whispered, "Hey, second brother, you haven't embraced your beauty yet? Second sister-in-law hasn't forgiven you yet?"
Xie Xun frowned and said, "These are not things you should be concerned about. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
The third prince asked for trouble and said, "Okay then. I will keep the poisonous spy of the fourth brother in my hands first. I will first see what cards you need, second brother, and then I will control him to play.
What cards are there? In short, we can help the second brother up step by step and not let others doubt us."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, "That's not necessarily the case. Today you came to my house so arrogantly."
"There's no need to worry about that. The old fourth has a stupid head. He knows that I'm doing bad things to you behind your back. How can he doubt my intentions? And the more blatant I am, the more others will think that I am aboveboard. Second brother, don't worry."
