Since she was never looked down upon by these nephews, the eldest princess had to take the path of Emperor Qianwen, which gave her some identity and status. Since you look down on me, why do I need to give you face? Besides, this She is reasonable in matters, and she is not afraid even if the lawsuit comes before the emperor's brother.
Shen Ao also thought this way, but didn't do it. He didn't think it was a good thing to bring this matter forward, and it was not worth the loss to offend the prince for no reason. Then he found the eldest princess and asked her to make a decision. Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be it's the same.
Shen Ao watched from the sidelines, naturally amazed at the eldest princess's decisiveness. He believed that as long as this woman was given a certain amount of power, she would be able to do good things and do great things like a good man.
Zhong Xi didn't think so. He thought that the eldest princess was the prince's aunt. When something happened, he always had to cover it up. In this way, he benefited and the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess ignored the prince, which shocked him. While losing his composure, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Princess, you have to think carefully about how this will put the Crown Prince's face."
Zhong Xi often said this to the officials who came to visit the East Palace. Every time he said it, those officials were all obedient and did as he wanted. But he forgot that the people in front of him did not go to the East Palace to ask for something. As a subject of the Crown Prince, she is the current Emperor’s biological sister, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
How could she be threatened by Zhong Xi's words?
Not only was she not frightened, the princess looked at Zhong Xi angrily and said, "What? Are you doing something in the palace?"
When Zhong Xi was stared at by this look, his whole body was agitated. Only then did he remember his identity. How could he threaten her with words? He quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
"Hmph! You also know that you are a slave, but you dare to speak to me like this. If you don't teach you a lesson, others will think that I am easy to bully. Someone, slap his mouth and make him miserable. long memory.”
The eldest princess became angry, and the female official Zhuyun on the side jumped out immediately, stretched out her hand and caught Zhong Xi who was lowering his head, and then...a few big mouths fell on the other party's face. The slap on the face was painful and loud.
When Zhu Yun stopped, Zhong Xi's face was already red and swollen. He looked at Zhu Yun with eyes full of resentment, then lowered his head and saluted the eldest princess and said: "There are so many servants. I offend you, please forgive me, eldest princess, and I will get out now."
Afraid that the eldest princess would take action against him, Zhong Xi decided to leave.
"Go away, take your money and go back." The angry eldest princess snorted coldly.
Zhong Xi left, taking 9.7 million taels of silver with him. Looking at their leaving figures, Shen Ao stepped forward and said comfortingly, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, why should you be angry with a eunuch? When you are angry, It’s not worth it if you lose your health.”
"Hey, Lord Zhongguo, I am not angry about a eunuch, but worried about the prince. What kind of people are around him? With these people around, wouldn't the prince be led astray?" The eldest princess said. She said with the world in mind. But in fact, she was thinking about what would happen next. She beat Zhong Xi openly, which was very satisfying. But she also made a hatred with the prince because of it. If one day the prince really ascended the If you win the big position, will you still get some good results?
Presumably without the prince taking action, the powerful Zhong Xi would find various reasons to deal with him.
At this moment, the eldest princess somewhat regretted it. But at that time, Zhong Xi actually threatened her in public, and she had to fight back. If she didn't do anything, where would her face be? Who would take her seriously in the future?
Shen Ao seemed to see the worry of the eldest princess, but he really couldn't help him. He was just a hereditary duke with no military merit, so his words had little weight. Well, he can't get involved in the royal family's own affairs at all.
"It's too dangerous here, it's better to leave." Shen Ao sighed in his heart again, and his idea of leaving Daliang City, a place of right and wrong, seemed to be firmer.
As for bringing the eldest princess into this matter, Shen Ao didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Since he had received benefits, he had to contribute, otherwise why would he have to cooperate with Guo Changlong. Besides, the emperor is still here, and the eldest princess is still here. The princess will be the elder of the prince. Even if the prince's face is not good-looking, he can't do anything about the eldest princess. As for what will happen in the future? That is not something he needs to consider. He will be given a marriage in more than a year. , he is under greater pressure than anyone else.
...
East Palace.
Zhong Xi returned to the prince with a swollen face, causing Tang Xin to look surprised.
After all, he is also the current prince. Who made the eunuch next to him look so virtuous? Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?
Zhong Xi fell to his knees and recounted what happened in Guochanglong with tears and runny noses.
Naturally, there is a huge difference between the facts Zhong Xi said and the real facts. According to him, all the blame was placed on the loyal Duke Shen Ao.
This is a little clever trick played by Zhong Xi. The eldest princess is a member of the royal family and the prince's aunt, so beating herself will be in vain. At least there is no way to get her back. Even so, don't target the eldest daughter. Put it on the princess and put it on Shen Ao. This person is just a little person.
According to Zhong Xi, Shen Ao didn't want to apply for the Supreme Membership for the prince at all, so he made every possible excuse. It was Zhong Xi who reasoned and moved him emotionally, so Shen Ao had to lower his head. But it seemed that he didn't stop him. However, he arranged for his people to take away 300,000 taels of silver, insisting that the money was not enough. When Zhong Xi refused to argue, Shen Ao also invited the eldest princess, and then the eldest princess listened to Shen Ao's words and taught him a lesson. own.
"Your Highness, I am just a eunuch and a slave. It doesn't matter if I am beaten. It's just that I didn't complete the task assigned by Your Highness this time. I really deserve to die. Please punish me, Your Highness." He knelt on the ground, red and swollen. Despite his face, he took all the blame on himself. At this moment, Zhong Xi was completely a loyal slave.
"It has nothing to do with you. This is clearly because Shen Ao doesn't take this prince seriously. He relies on making money for his father. Does he really think that others can do anything to him?" The prince's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
Shen Ao had not been taken seriously by the prince before. Everyone had cooperated in some of the things that happened next. It was himself who made King Xiang's plan to marry the fifth princess to the King of Western Man fail, and he was also the one who took action. He betrayed King Qing and King Xiang, saving Shen Ao from being betrothed and being sent to the land of the Western Barbarians. But how did Shen Ao treat himself afterwards? He bought Xishan, made briquettes, and let his uncle King Jin's black Coal could not enter Daliang City, so he lost a fortune and was looked down upon by his uncle.
Now he openly beats his own people and refuses to become a member of Guochanglong in various ways. This is simply too much bullying. People who bite their masters when they are full should be killed to serve as a warning to others.
Zhong Xi was beaten in the face, and the prince's face was also lost. Although the eldest princess did all this, the prince put all the blame on Shen Ao. He had already decided to deal with this person severely. Let others know what will happen if he offends his prince.
The prince's idea was to find an opportunity to find a reason to slap Shen Ao in the face severely, but what happened forced him to be more ruthless. That afternoon, aide Duan Wei hurried to the East Palace and was very angry when he saw the prince. He said, "Your Highness, what happened? Why is it spread outside that Guo Changlong refused to cooperate with the prince?"
"Well, what's going on? Tell me the truth." The prince's expression condensed and he asked in a deep voice.
Duan Wei then recounted the rumors he heard on the street. Why is the loyal Duke Shen Ao very profitable, but he only makes money for the royal family and himself? What kind of thing is a prince? He used to look down on Guo Changlong, but now he sees that he is making money. I want to get a share of the pie. Where is such a good thing? Now if I want to become a supreme member, just refuse it.
Not only that, Zhong Xi, the eunuch next to the prince, wanted to entangle him and directly invited the eldest princess out, beating him until he had to leave. Shen Ao wanted to tell others through this incident that Guo Changlong belonged to others and no one should want to get involved. Yes, the same goes for the prince.
As he spoke, Duan Wei observed the prince and found that in the later stage, the prince's face had turned dark, which was a sign of getting angry, so he quickly closed his mouth.
The prince's face was terrifyingly dark. Just when Duan Wei was thinking about whether the prince was going to get angry, the prince didn't say anything. He just nodded lightly, said "I understand", and then turned around and returned to the inner courtyard.
Duan Wei didn't know why the prince was so calm. He thought it was because the prince had a palace in his chest, but he didn't know at all that the prince did not stay after he went to the inner courtyard, but walked through the inner courtyard to the backyard. As soon as he appeared, a figure appeared He quickly appeared in front of him, half-kneeling in the tunnel and said: "My subordinate Xu Yuan has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Xu Yuan, are the soldiers that the King of Jin gave me to die are still there?"
Xu Yuan, who was also the chief of the crown prince's bodyguard, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, we are all here. There are four dead men in total, and their skills are impressive."
"Okay, let's make arrangements and let them take action tonight. I want Duke Zhongguo's head." The prince's anger finally vented. Originally he just wanted to teach Shen Ao a lesson, but after hearing the rumors Duan Wei said, He has already begun to murder. If Shen Ao doesn't die, where will his prince's face be placed?
"No." Xu Yuan, as the head of the East Palace Guards, only obeys orders and never asks about the reasons.
