Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The Fourth Prince had an idea in mind, but his face showed that he was interested, "Then I must taste it carefully."

Naturally, the Fourth Prince stayed in Wangshu Pavilion tonight.

Qi Yuebin had not expected that a few side dishes could actually attract the Fourth Prince, but during dinner, he still carefully prepared a lot of different dishes for the Fourth Prince to taste.

The Fourth Prince has tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and the taste of this pickle is indeed good, but not to the point of being amazing. I guess it suits Nian Shilan's taste, which is why she likes it so much.

However, on the surface, the Fourth Prince still praised, "The taste of this pickle is indeed unique. Yuebin is thoughtful."

Qi Yuebin said modestly, "Nian Concubine is the one who is really working hard, Yuebin is just talking."

The Fourth Prince held Qi Yuebin's hand and said, "Even if you want to talk, you have to think about this matter all the time, so that you have room to talk. Shilan is aloof and arrogant, and Yuebin can accompany her from time to time to relieve her boredom. This friendship moved me."

Qi Yuebin's smile became more sincere, "It's also because I and Concubine Nian get along well."

The Fourth Prince did not expect that Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin were really sincere to each other, so he asked tentatively, "Shilan and Yuebin are sisters of the same mind. Shilan is pregnant now, Yuebin should also work hard."

Qi Yuebin was a little shy and a little sad, "It's Yuebin who is incompetent."

The Fourth Prince calmly provoked, "You can't force a child. If Yuebin is really lonely, wait until Shilan gives birth to a child, and then go visit her from time to time to relieve her loneliness."

Qi Yuebin's smile became forced. She had not given up on having a child with her own blood, so how could she possibly stare at Nian Shilan's child?

The Fourth Prince continued to fan the flames, "Shilan has made great contributions this time. I really don't know how to reward Shilan."

Qi Yuebin is a human being, not a Buddha statue without desires. She wants children and a higher status. Qi Yuebin relied on her seniority to become a concubine, while Nian Shilan was a concubine when she entered the mansion. Qi Yuebin sacrificed herself for the Qi family, but Nian Shilan relied on the Nian family to bully others in the mansion. Qi Yuebin felt more and more uncomfortable when she compared the two.

Seeing that Qi Yuebin was wavering, the Fourth Prince stopped talking and said nothing more.

However, on the second day, the Fourth Prince left Wangshu Pavilion and asked Su Peisheng to investigate the relationship between the Qi family and the Nian family.

Su Peisheng was very quick and had the news in the evening.

"Originally, because Concubine Nian and Concubine Qi had a good relationship, the Nian family also helped the Qi family. However, since the pickles that Concubine Qi sent to Concubine Nian took effect, the exchanges between the two families have become closer, and many of the younger generations of the Qi family have been sent to train under General Nian."

The Fourth Prince was even more unhappy. Nian Gengyao was already a big worry for him. If the Qi family made a comeback and formed a wing with the Nian family, the Fourth Prince would probably not be able to sleep well.

Originally, instigating Qi Yuebin to take action was only one of the options for the Fourth Prince. Now, no matter what, he must muddy the waters and make Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin break up completely and fight to the death.

The Fourth Prince's eyes sparkled as he ordered, "Su Peisheng, go check on the Qi family."

As the Fourth Prince's personal eunuch, Su Peisheng naturally noticed that something was wrong with the Fourth Prince. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, how do you investigate?" The Qi family is like a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Without a direction, Su Peisheng would tire himself to death.

The Fourth Prince said coldly, "It's ok to execute the whole family, but it's best to execute all nine generations of the clan."

Su Peisheng was horrified. This was to force the Qi family to death! Even if the Fourth Prince wanted to control the Qi family, he didn't need this kind of evidence! Su Peisheng didn't dare to think about the Fourth Prince's plan and just followed his orders.

But Su Peisheng didn't expect that he could only catch some small tricks, but he caught a big fish. He thought he would set a trap for the Qi family, but the Qi family was quite "competent" and didn't need Su Peisheng to rack his brains.

How far has this matter progressed? Su Peisheng only investigated the beginning and did not dare to continue. He went directly to the Fourth Prince to report and ask for instructions.

"Your Majesty, I have found out about the Qi family."

The Fourth Prince frowned. It had only been a short time, so how could they find any crime? However, he still asked patiently, "Tell me what you found?"

Su Peisheng said nervously, "I have found out that the Qi family...the Qi family was involved in the deposed crown prince's rebellion."

The Fourth Prince knocked over the teacup in shock, "What did you say?!"

Su Peisheng said fearfully, "The Qi family was involved in the dethronement of the crown prince."

After the crown prince was restored, he understood that he was just a target set up by Kangxi. Kangxi did not want others to interfere in the matter of the crown prince, and he was also afraid that the next crown prince would kill his father and the emperor. So after much consideration, he brought the deposed crown prince before the public.

But the prince made up his mind during his imprisonment. Since Kangxi always suspected that the prince would rebel, the prince would rebel to show Kangxi. If he wanted to rebel, he could not do without the support of military generals. The prince quietly won over many people, such as Tuoheqi, the governor of the Nine Gates, and countless military generals.

You have to know that military generals are not civil officials. Once a military general surrenders, he is ready to help his master wear the yellow robe. Therefore, after the incident of deposing the crown prince, the military generals who still choose to rely on the crown prince have their own thoughts.

However, the prince did not rebel in the end, and Kangxi, who had noticed the signs early, suppressed them, which led to the second dethronement of the prince. At the same time, in order to reduce the impact, Kangxi did not investigate who followed the prince, but only took down the key figures.

The Qi family had fallen into decline many years ago, and the children of the family did not hold high positions in the military camp. The deposed prince was just trying to take advantage of the situation and accepted the surrender of the Qi family. When the second deposed prince was born, because the Qi family was low-key and inconspicuous, no one knew that they were involved in the deposed prince's rebellion.

Many years passed, and seeing that Kangxi had no intention of pursuing the matter, the people of the Qi family no longer acted cautiously, and were caught by Su Peisheng who came to investigate.

Originally, Su Peisheng had thought that if there was no evidence, he would induce the Qi family members to say something they shouldn't say, and start a literary inquisition. Unexpectedly, the Qi family themselves were in for a big one.

The Fourth Prince had not expected that, when he asked Su Peisheng to do it, he was just hinting at it. If there was no real evidence, he could just make up fake evidence. Who could have thought that the Qi family would really dare to do it!

Su Peisheng asked, "Your Highness, do you want me to continue investigating?" If the Qi family is the one, then by following the clues, I'm afraid I can find many of the deposed prince's former subordinates.

The Fourth Prince hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the pursuit. Kangxi had let them off so easily, and it would be annoying for the Fourth Prince to find these people. The deposed Crown Prince was no longer a threat, and those old subordinates would never gather again. It would be better for him to hold on to the Qi family and accomplish what he wanted.

"Just focus on the Qi family." The Fourth Prince replied.
