Zhao Xiaole closed his eyes, feeling shocked in his heart.
In fact, he had vaguely guessed that the third prince was behind this incident.
I just haven't been able to confirm it.
Now Wang Teng's words undoubtedly give the final answer to this speculation!
But as he thought about it, he couldn't help but frown again.
"The third prince is assassinating the crown prince now. He must be fully confident that he can replace her after killing the crown prince."
"Although the other princes are not as powerful as the third prince, I think it is very risky for him to defeat the other princes just by relying on Liu Bern and others."
"Besides, the queen also holds a royal guard in her hands!"
"It seems that there must be some unknown force behind him supporting him!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaole suddenly looked at Suzaku next to him, "Xiaoque, order someone to find out who else is supporting him behind the Third Prince."
"yes!"
Suzaku immediately went to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaole's eyes returned to Wang Teng again.
"What did His Highness the Third Prince tell you?"
"He said that as long as my father is willing to assassinate the prince for him, he will help me win the first place in the Bamboo Forest Poetry Society and enter Qinglu Academy."
Having said this, Wang Teng calmed down.
He said with a dull look on his face: "My father didn't believe it at the time. After all, with the foundation of Qinglu Academy, it would be extremely difficult for the prince to force someone in."
"Until he produced a letter..."
Zhao Xiaole's eyes narrowed.
It was the letter I found in the secret room!
If it hadn't been for that letter, I wouldn't have been able to investigate the Wang family.
He hurriedly asked: "Do you know who wrote that letter?"
"I don't know."
Wang Teng shook his head and said: "After my father read it, he quickly burned the letter and told the third prince with excitement that he would definitely kill His Royal Highness."
"However, the third prince's expression was very casual. He didn't seem to care whether my father could kill the prince."
Zhao Xiaole nodded, he somewhat understood.
In fact, the third prince had already guessed that the assassin sent by the Wang family would not be able to kill the prince.
Otherwise the prince would have been replaced long ago.
So his real purpose is to arouse the prince's anger and take revenge on the killer.
And when the time comes, he can also take the opportunity to lead this line to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce or some other force.
In this way, as long as they can fight to the point of losing both sides, the third prince's goal will be achieved.
When the time comes, he can take advantage of the situation and seize the prince's power, and even take over the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce for his own use. This is simply a plan to kill three birds with one stone!
Even Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but praise the third prince's strategy, it was so wonderful!
"But unfortunately, he missed one thing, that is, I am not an ordinary eunuch beside the prince, but the most mysterious factory owner in the entire West Factory!"
Zhao Xiaole didn't feel half happy about this.
Because if it weren't for his identity that he didn't even think of, he might have fallen into the trap as early as the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!
Next, Zhao Xiaole asked Wang Teng a few more questions, and after he had squeezed him dry, he finally let him go and asked someone to lock him up first.
After all, as long as you hold Wang Teng in your hand, that is a trump card against Wang Shangshu.
At that time, it may not be possible to unseat this Wang Shangshu, or bring him to the prince's camp!
"My lord, there is news from the East Palace that the prince has urgently summoned you, and the prince's people have already gone to Fengyue Tower!"
At this moment, Suzaku suddenly came to report.
"The prince summons you urgently?!"
Zhao Xiaole was a little stunned, but he reacted immediately, "Let's go back to the East Palace!"
He stood up decisively.
Logically speaking, if the prince was fine, he would not find him so late.
If you are so anxious now, something must have happened.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaole did not dare to delay at all and decisively got up and returned.
But when he rushed back to Fengyue Tower, the young eunuch in green clothes sent by the prince had been waiting for a long time, and a large group of people watching the excitement had gathered outside the courtyard, talking a lot.
Zhao Xiaole was shirtless, with lipstick marks all over his face and chest. With sleepy eyes open, he kicked the young eunuch in green to the ground angrily while putting on his clothes.
"You bitch, if you dare to disturb my pleasure, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
The young eunuch in green clothes was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, it is not the slave who wants to disturb you, my lord, but His Highness has sent an order for you to return to the East Palace immediately!"
"The prince summoned you urgently? What happened?"
"You don't know? Zhao Xiaole was assassinated on the way to Fengyue Tower. He was probably the same group of people who assassinated the prince. The prince is probably looking for him to go back and question him!"
"What? He was assassinated and he still dared to come to Fengyue Tower?"
"Hey, you don't know this, right? This is called dying under the peony flowers, and being a ghost is also romantic!"
"Hahaha, I admire it! I admire it!"
Everyone laughed repeatedly, but suddenly, a cold gaze made them shiver suddenly and they closed their mouths instantly.
Some looked frightened and turned away quickly, while others remained silent and did not dare to make any more noise.
How could anyone who can play here not know Zhao Xiaole’s reputation?
That's a man who even dared to tear down the door of the Prime Minister's Palace.
If you make him angry and beat yourself, it will be in vain!
"snort!"
Zhao Xiaole snorted coldly and cast his gaze on the young eunuch in green.
"My lord has clear rewards and punishments. If you have done meritorious service, I will reward you with these one hundred taels!"
Zhao Xiaole directly threw him a silver ingot.
The little eunuch in green was stunned for a moment.
One hundred taels!
Whether inside or outside the palace, this is a huge sum of money!
And now, he just threw it in front of me with such disdain?
The little eunuch in green clothes was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he quickly kowtowed to thank him.
After Zhao Xiaole left, everyone immediately cast envious glances at the young eunuch.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a hundred taels per kick, this kick is really worth it!"
"Yeah! I even want him to kick me a few more times!"
"Haha, it's different to have a good master. A slave can be so arrogant!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately turned away from the person speaking with fear on their faces, fearing that they would be implicated and provoke Zhao Xiaole's revenge!
On the carriage, Zhao Xiaole rubbed his somewhat swollen temples.
He came back from the Bamboo Forest Poetry Festival, met the Queen, was assassinated, and finally interrogated Wang Teng.
Each of these things was oppressing his nerves.
It made him feel tired, and he really couldn't figure out why the prince summoned him.
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and Suzaku's voice came from outside, "My lord, we are here!"
Nodding, Zhao Xiaole walked towards the prince's palace calmly.
Once you meet the prince, everything will naturally become clear.
Unexpectedly, the prince's first words when he saw him still made Zhao Xiaole startled.
