The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 120 Harming others will ultimately harm yourself

The Third Prince was very depressed in his mansion. Military Advisor Lin Kang frowned and advised, "Third Prince, things have come to this point. It's useless for you to be angry. You can only blame Leng Jiuyuan for being too cunning.

Although he had some loyal subordinates, the tiger talisman had been handed over to the emperor, and he had no right to mobilize troops.

Don't worry too much. There's plenty of time to go by, and we'll find another opportunity to deal with him."

The Third Prince was still furious: “This is a rare opportunity to ruin his reputation and allow Xue’er to sneak into Prince Zhan’s mansion.

We didn't expect that he also had love powder and an antidote. We underestimated him in the end.

Xue'er's pregnancy and miscarriage were discovered, and the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion was ruined. The two of us became the laughingstock of the capital, and we were too embarrassed to go out and see people. "

Lin Kang advised, "Third Prince, it's best not to leave the palace for now. Wait until the storm has died down before going out, so as to avoid hearing those rumors and adding to your troubles."

The Third Prince nodded and sighed, "I lost this round after all, but there is still a chance.

Over the years, my father has always suspected that he was trying to force his way to the throne and regarded him as a thorn in his side.

When he is needed, he is sent to the front; when he is not needed, he is left aside and someone is sent to monitor him, always keeping him in the dark.

The military advisor's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Your Highness, the emperor is afraid that he will rebel, so we will fabricate evidence that he is collaborating with the enemy and treason and secretly hiding the dragon robe to rebel.

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not; as long as the emperor believes it, he is committing treason."

The Third Prince was persuaded, his eyes gleaming with venom. "No venom, no hero. This is a good idea, but we don't have a dragon robe. How can we fabricate a letter? Which country are we collaborating with?"

A gloomy look appeared on the military advisor's face. "Third Prince, let Lin handle this matter. I will definitely satisfy you."

The third prince walked into the next room, opened a box, and took out a stack of banknotes.

"Military Advisor, please take these banknotes. I can't leave for the time being.

I'll leave this matter to you. If it doesn't work, use the forces of the underworld."

Lin Kang took the banknote and said, "Let's dig a secret passage so that we can enter Prince Zhan's palace at any time and make a few more dragon robes. Then he will be unable to defend himself."

"Good idea, I'll thank you for everything, Military Advisor. When you achieve success, you will be the Imperial Master."

Lin Kang put the banknotes in his clothes and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, I will go and make the arrangements first.

I won't come to see you for the time being, to avoid getting you involved in any incident."

The Third Prince returned the greeting, “Military Advisor, after putting the dragon robe away, go find the censor Li Rang and explain everything.

Let him go find the Emperor, Li Rang is our man."

"Okay, Lin will take his leave!"

After Lin Kang finished speaking, he left the Third Prince’s Mansion.

About half an hour later, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict from the palace came to the mansion with the imperial guards.

The young eunuch shouted, "Come here, surround the mansion, and only allow people in and out."

The third prince heard some noise outside and came out immediately.

The eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch snorted, his face full of disdain, and said sarcastically, "Third Prince, the Emperor asks you to come over."

The third prince knew something was wrong when he saw the eunuch's expression.

He knew that these rootless people were always looking down on others.

His heart was pounding. He took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his clothes and handed it to the young eunuch. "Your Excellency has worked hard on the journey. This is tea money. Please accept it."

The young eunuch took the banknote, looked at the number on it, and smiled. He leaned over to the Third Prince's ear and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Third Prince, the Emperor saw a letter and was furious. As for what was written in the letter, I don't know."

"Let's go, otherwise the emperor will get impatient and blame me for my incompetence."

Zhang, the kitchen steward, was about to leave when two imperial guards stopped him: "No one in the mansion is allowed to leave."

The third prince was stunned. He didn't ask any more questions, but he knew that the emperor was really angry.

He got on a carriage and entered the palace with the eunuchs.

Palace

Emperor Xuancheng ordered: "Qin Wuyi, put these letters and boxes aside first and don't let the third brother see them.

I'll ask him first to see if he accepts it. If he does, that's fine. If he doesn't, I'll make a decision later."

Qin Wuyi responded, immediately repacked the letter and put it in the closet next to him.

After a while, a young eunuch shouted outside the door: "The Third Prince has arrived!"

The Third Prince came to the bedroom and knelt down: "Your Highness greets your Majesty!"

According to custom, the emperor would say "Get up" at this moment.

But at this moment, Emperor Xuancheng had anger in his eyes and did not say a word.

He stared at the Third Prince, his voice filled with anger, "Third Prince, someone handed me a letter saying that you and officials are colluding for personal gain. Is this true?"

The Third Prince's expression froze for a moment, as if his secrets had been exposed.

After a moment, he came to his senses, pretended to be innocent, and began to defend himself: "Father, I am innocent. Even if I had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to form a party.

Normally, I would only go to a banquet at an official's house, but my other brothers were also there. Father, this is a false accusation."

No one knows a son better than his father. His expression says it all.

Leng Aotian laughed sarcastically: "Oh, that's their fault. I was furious when I saw the letter.

Although you are my son, there is only one dragon throne in the Zhengda Guangming Hall, and the prince is the future emperor of Dongqin.

Aside from the Ninth Brother, the Crown Prince is the most capable of you brothers. The throne can only belong to him; none of you are worthy."

Hearing this, the Third Prince's heart sank completely. It turned out that in the eyes of his father, no matter what he did, he was not as good as the Crown Prince. He felt very disappointed.

"Third Brother, you haven't even become emperor yet, but you've already handed over the three ministers to the emperor, just to gain their support?"

When the third prince heard this, his expression changed drastically: How could the emperor know all this? Did someone tell him?

"Father, I dare not, I dare not!"

Leng Aotian began to roar: "Is there anything you dare not do? Qin Wuyi, bring the letters here and let him read them one by one."

Qin Wuyi opened the wardrobe, took out the mailbox, opened it, and placed it in front of the third prince.

"Third Prince, please take a look."

When the Third Prince saw the familiar box, his head buzzed and he looked puzzled:

This box is placed together with the silver bill box, and it requires triggering a mechanism to open.

Which little thief stole it and gave it to my father? He wants to kill me.

He picked up a letter with trembling hands, pulled out the letter, and saw that the position of Minister of Revenue had been given away.

People also promised that when the Third Prince becomes successful, he will do a good job as the Minister of Revenue.

He was at a loss at this moment and just sat there slumped. It's over, my father will definitely kill me...

Leng Aotian glared at him: "Third brother, you actually want to be the emperor.

I have been suppressing the Ninth Brother, and I never expected that you would take advantage of the opportunity.

You don't even look in the mirror to see your own virtue. You are not even one-third as good as the prince. You are just dreaming.

No matter how you want to die, I will satisfy you!"

The third prince was really scared at this time. He saw the emperor's terrifying murderous look.

He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Father, please spare my life. I was blinded by lard for a moment. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
