Three Kings Palace

Qi Kuan carried Yuan Ruan to the side room to rest, and then hurried to find the Third Prince and the Concubine Dowager.

The three of them came to the study, shielded themselves from the surroundings, and Qi Kuan slowly told the story that Yuan Ruan had mentioned.

As soon as he mentioned that Qi Menglong was a spy for the Prince of Huainan, the Third Prince stood up in panic: "How is this possible!"

Qi Kuan was stunned.

The concubine narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Why? When did Qi Menglong come to you?"

The Third Prince said dryly: "No, no, son, what's wrong..."

The concubine poked her cane fiercely and said in a low voice, "How dare you lie to me? I can tell from the moment you rolled your eyes that you are guilty!"

The Third Prince was almost yelled at to kneel down, his legs weak as he supported himself on the table beside him, and he said in a weak voice: "No, no. She just gave me some money and gifts, but I definitely didn't touch her, didn't say anything..."

"What!" The old concubine stood up in anger, "... Bah, this Qi Menglong is so uncivilized! Isn't he trying to catch both of you in one fell swoop? She is not afraid of embarrassment, but I am ashamed. If any of you dare to..."

The Third Prince hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, mother. My son didn't touch me."

Qi Kuan followed up and said, "Grandma, I didn't even say a few words to the other party."

The old concubine calmed down her emotions, and without even looking at the Third Prince, she said gently to Qi Kuan, "Good Kuan'er, Grandmother believes you. Please continue."

Third Prince: ...

Qi Kuan then told the system what the system had said, that Qi Menglong had hooked up with the two grandsons of the Third Prince, which led to the Third Prince's mansion being ransacked.

The Third Prince was shocked and anxious: "How could this be? This, this is too much. We didn't hear what mother said. Could Kuan'er have heard it wrong? The Emperor's brother wouldn't be so..."

The old concubine gave the third prince two "bang bang" punches, and the third prince was stunned.

The old concubine said angrily: "If you say something stupid again, I will immediately ask His Majesty to strip you of your title, so that you won't harm Jia Ren."

The Third Prince instantly became as quiet as a chicken.

The old concubine's eyes flashed with disgust, and she spat: "How dare you, a bastard, get involved in the fight for the throne! The emperor is too soft-hearted. Why is there only one death? They should all be cut into pieces."

The Third Prince and Qi Kuan: ...

Afterwards, Qi Kuan gave a detailed account of the results of several princesses.

The eldest granddaughter married the wrong man, and her husband would abandon her. But she finally survived and supported the family together with the eldest grandson's wife.

The man my second granddaughter married was more conscientious and helped the family.

The little granddaughter suffered the most. When the second grandson was fleeing, he hid in her room. The little granddaughter was soft-hearted and secretly helped the second grandson to let him go. As a result, the second grandson was afraid of being caught, so he deliberately betrayed the little granddaughter, resulting in the little granddaughter being thrown into jail. If Qi Kuan had not come to her rescue in an emergency, the little granddaughter would have been humiliated.

The concubine's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she said to the Third Prince: "Look at the marriage you have arranged, you must cancel it immediately! And these two beasts! They even treat their sister like a beast! These two evildoers should be cut off from each other and sent back to their hometown to be raised."

The Third Prince murmured, "Yes, yes... arrange for concubines to give birth to them..."

The concubine shouted, "What the hell are you planning? What the hell are you going to do? What good can these two produce? I'd rather have no descendants!"

At this point, the concubine quickly wrote a document and handed it to Qi Kuan: "Kuan'er, when you go to report the situation to His Majesty, bring a letter for me. This involves the extinction of the royal family's bloodline, so His Majesty and the Zongzheng Mansion must review it first."

Third Prince: ...

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he remained silent.

Qi Kuan: ...

Grandma, you are such a decisive person.

……

Soon, Qi Kuan entered the palace to find the emperor and report the news.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Kuan opened his mouth, the emperor said, "I have heard some reports from others. When everyone is here, you can tell the court officials in detail."

Qi Kuan's heart tightened. It seemed that His Majesty had placed many people around the Ninth Princess.

After a cup of tea, the court officials gathered and the small court meeting began.

Qi Kuan originally wanted to save some face for the Third Prince's Palace, but thinking of the emperor's endless intelligence system, he gritted his teeth and told all the gossip, including the privacy and gossip.

When Qi Kuan mentioned that the eldest princess's husband was also involved in the rebellion, the Prince's Guardian could no longer sit still.

He stood up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty. I think this matter is of great importance and we need clear evidence before making a decision..."

The court officials were a little confused at first, but suddenly they realized that the Prince's Guardian was the biological father of the Grand Duke, and they understood.

Qi Kuan said calmly, "I am not the only one who heard this. The eldest princess, the second princess, and the second prince consort can all testify for me."

The Prince's Guard choked.

He wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by the Prince's tutor. The Prince's tutor whispered, "You are too concerned. This is the news leaked from the little princess. What are you asking for confirmation? It's like asking for a hammer. Instead of making up your mind, you should go back to your son and ask for confirmation in private. See who the matter is related to and see if you can clean up the mess or turn yourself in."

The Prince's Guardian shuddered suddenly and fell silent.

Qi Kuan continued to speak, and the emperor remained silent. The prince and court officials were responsible for asking for details. When Qi Kuan gave a similar answer for the second time, the emperor suddenly waved his hand.

Qi Kuan stopped talking and the hall suddenly became quiet.

The emperor suddenly laughed: "Prince Huainan, you have been planning this for a long time. Good, very good!" He slammed the copper cup in his hand to the ground.

The courtiers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down?! Wu Yi!" The emperor stood up, "Prepare to send troops to destroy the Huainan Palace."

Wu Yi immediately bowed and said, "Yes..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Prime Minister Wang's scalp tingled, and he stood up suddenly. "One King of Huainan is nothing to be afraid of, but Daxia has six princes. If Your Majesty sends troops to destroy the King of Huainan, it is hard to say that the other five princes will not rebel out of fear! Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to take a long-term view."

The Minister of Finance also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang is absolutely right. Moreover, the State of Chen and the Xiongnu are eyeing Daxia covetously, and there is also a locust plague spreading. The national treasury cannot afford to waste it, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Li and asked, "What do you think?"

Prime Minister Li: "I support your majesty in fighting the King of Huainan."

"Nie Chen!"

"Traitor!"

The court officials glared at Prime Minister Li.

But Prime Minister Li continued, "However, Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to fight a war, you must know both yourself and the enemy, so that you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. This time the system revealed that Qi Menglong is a spy. I think if you want to attack the King of Huainan, you must first make good use of Qi Menglong. For example, you can use Qi Menglong to pass on wrong information, and then make a move on the King of Huainan after you have made sufficient intelligence preparations."

The court officials who had been glaring at Prime Minister Li calmed down.

The emperor showed no sign of being persuaded. He suddenly asked the prince, "What do you think?"

The court officials all looked over.

Prince:......
