Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 159 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (38)
The eldest princess's mansion.
In the eldest princess' bedroom, she was still talking about her plan, telling Xiao Heng every bit of her scheme.
"As a mother, don't you know the identity of the Song family?"
"And you still?"
Xiao Heng hesitated. He always felt that something didn't make sense, but he didn't know why.
Seeing his silly look, the eldest princess was so disappointed in him that she hit Xiao Heng twice with a ruler. Two loud whipping sounds were heard, and she felt much better.
"You are such a fool. You caused such a big disaster last time, but I didn't beat you. You are such a fool. I should have beaten you up a long time ago!"
The eldest princess almost never beat Xiao Heng. After all, he had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and she had no chance to educate him.
After Xiao Heng came back, the mother and son became more and more estranged. She was even more afraid to use beating to discipline her son, and her words were a little extreme.
"Song is a first-rate beauty, even more charming and seductive than Jiang, who brought disaster to the country and the people in the previous dynasty. The trick mother used is simple and crude, but it is indeed effective."
"Didn't the emperor ask you to go to the border to guard the city? He didn't even give you any official position. You're just a soldier training. What future can you have like this?"
"I will send him a beauty. When he is in a good mood, I will ask our people to plead with him. Considering your merits, the emperor will definitely pardon you. It will be great if you can stay in the capital."
"This is the first strategy, the beauty trap."
The princess looked at Xiao Heng and saw him nodding in thought. She knew he had listened, so she continued.
"You know that the Prime Minister's faction is a staunch royalist. Now that Song, the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law, has been forcibly taken away by the Emperor, there will naturally be discord between the Emperor and his subjects. This is a good opportunity for you to recruit talented people."
"This is the second strategy, the strategy of creating dissension."
The eldest princess patiently guided him. She never kept anything from Xiao Heng and taught him everything she could and could not teach him.
No matter whether the means are fair or secret, as long as Xiao Heng can use them well, she will be pleased, so she continued.
"An even more vicious move is that Song is fickle and can't bear the loneliness, so she seduced the emperor. She is a demon concubine who is a disaster to the country."
"If the emperor protects her, he will be a tyrant who cannot distinguish right from wrong. We can use this to make a big fuss about our reputation. In this way, Heng'er, your status in the hearts of the people will be greatly increased."
When Xiao Heng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously ready to make a move, not caring about royal family affection at all, which made the prince consort beside him frightened.
Even the emperor Xiao Jin, who taught him since childhood and was closest to him, dared to plot against him, so how could his father, who had done nothing, be crushed to death?
The prince consort was secretly on guard. He had to prepare something secretly to save his life, as he did not trust his own son.
The eldest princess naturally noticed the restlessness in Xiao Heng's eyes, and she quickly stopped him.
"Now the emperor is young and strong, the country is strong, and he holds great power. The last one cannot be used now, otherwise it will be a road to self-destruction."
"I thank my mother for her teachings, and I also thank her for her hard work in planning for me—"
Just when Xiao Heng was about to kowtow to the princess to express his gratitude, Yue'er's panicked voice came in.
"Oh no, oh no, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to go out, and I can't stop him anymore."
The princess stood up immediately after hearing this. No, she couldn't let the prime minister ruin her plan!
……
Side hall.
The Prime Minister's wife and Xie Changling were arranged here. They drank cup of tea after cup, but they could not see Song Lingxi.
The Prime Minister's wife could still bear it, but Xie Changling couldn't stand it. In a short while, his beloved wife disappeared.
Moreover, Song Lingxi still didn't show up after the banquet, and the princess even shirked her responsibility by arranging them to this remote place. Ren Xiang knew there was something fishy going on!
Thinking of this, Xie Changling could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked towards the door with big strides, ignoring even the maid's attempts to stop him.
The maids and servants of the Princess's residence came up to stop him: "Master Xie, Master Xie, the Princess has ordered that you cannot go out, you really cannot go out!"
Xie Changling didn't want to listen to her nonsense at all. Compared with Song Lingxi, these little maids were nothing!
If Song Lingxi really got into trouble in the Princess's Mansion, and he foolishly waited here, he would never forgive himself in the future!
Xie Changling shouted loudly, veins popped out on his forehead, and he even started pushing himself.
"Get out of here! If Xi'er gets into trouble here, I won't forgive you!"
"Thank you, Master, for your great prestige!"
A melodious voice sounded from not far away. The person who came was wearing a bright red palace dress, and the hairpins on her head were gorgeous, elegant, and extraordinary.
That’s right, this person is the eldest princess who hurried over and went to the side hall to personally appease the two people in the prime minister’s residence.
Before she even entered the door, she heard the voice of the little maid trying to stop her, and Xie Changling's reckless shouting.
Therefore, this scene just happened.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Everyone saluted together, and when she saw the Prime Minister's wife was among them, the Princess regained her usual amiable demeanor.
"No need to be polite, madam is even more polite."
The Prime Minister's wife nodded and responded: "This is what we should do."
But then she changed the subject: "I wonder if Your Highness, the Princess, could you please help me? My daughter-in-law accidentally drank too much during the banquet and was helped by the maids in the Princess's Mansion to the guest room to rest."
"The banquet is over now. Lingxi has caused the princess a lot of trouble. I would like to thank Your Highness on her behalf. I just wonder where she is now?"
The Prime Minister's wife's words were well-reasoned and not aggressive or servile. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and her speech was well-organized.
This made the eldest princess look at her with a higher opinion of her, but it was a pity that such a person would eventually become her enemy.
After all, her good daughter-in-law did her a great favor!
When the princess thought of this, a smile appeared on her face, but to Xie Changling, this smile made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to look for it. Errui should wait for a moment."
The princess naturally didn't really send anyone to look for him, but was using this as a way to delay the opportunity. What could be more convincing than her being here in person?
The eldest princess leisurely took the main seat and winked at the maids around her, indicating that they should replace the tea with new one. It would be better if some ingredients were added to the tea.
The Prime Minister's wife and Xie Changling looked at each other and saw something unusual in each other's eyes.
Xie Changling was extremely anxious. He wanted to take people to search by himself, worried that he would delay the best time to rescue Xier.
But the Prime Minister's wife stopped him, pulled his sleeve and shook her head at him.
The Prime Minister's wife thought that now they had no evidence and no status, so falling out was not a good way out for them.
Even though Xie Changling was still unwilling, he restrained his temper after being looked at by the Prime Minister's wife, and was pulled back to his seat by her.
The eldest princess saw all of this and had an understanding smile on her face. She saw the maid coming in with a tray and said leisurely.
"This is the fine tea newly delivered to the palace, the top grade Snow-Top Green Tea, newly gifted by the Emperor. You two should try it."
"Thank you, Princess."
The Prime Minister's wife was the first to express her gratitude. Seeing that Xie Changling didn't react, she sighed silently in her heart and then ignored him.
"Why, Master Xie, is this tea not to your liking?"
The prime minister's wife doesn't care, but the princess won't tolerate it. She put drugs in the tea, which can at least delay it for an hour or two. If Xie Changling doesn't drink it, won't it be exposed?
"Your Highness, I am not thirsty. Thank you for your kindness."
Xie Changling was extremely anxious at the moment and kept looking outside, not caring about tea or not.
So, he retorted in a neither light nor heavy tone, and the eldest princess was at a loss what to do with him for a while.
For a moment, the entire lobby fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was deadlocked.
The medicine was indeed effective. The Prime Minister's wife began to yawn uncontrollably, one after another.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Changling quickly noticed the abnormality of the Prime Minister's wife. He asked with concern, with an unknown look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about what went wrong.
"Nothing, I just woke up a little early today, so I feel a little tired, but it's nothing."
As the Prime Minister's wife spoke, she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep on the back of the chair.
Xie Changling was startled and immediately stood up, not fearing the power of the princess at all. He stood and questioned her: "Your Highness, what did you feed my mother?"
The princess snorted coldly. A yellow-haired boy dared to be arrogant in front of her. She was not afraid of a powerful man like the prince consort, let alone Xie Changling who had no official position.
"Come here, this man dared to defy the majesty of the royal family, had no respect for me, and offended me many times, arrest him!"
Before the princess could finish her words and her servants had no time to act, they heard a more noble and majestic voice coming from outside the door.
"stop--"
The princess heard this familiar voice, she stood up hurriedly, walked to the door to greet him: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you——"
"Your Highness!"
They all looked towards the door and saw the bright yellow dragon robe, and they all knelt down to pay their respects.
"Royal sister, you can't use your power to oppress others."
The emperor gave an order in a deep voice, then passed the eldest princess and walked straight to the kneeling Xie Changling.
Xie Changling looked up at the face, which was extremely similar to the one he had seen when he was a child, and his expression was slightly excited, because he was his childhood playmate - Emperor Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin stood in front of him, staring at him intently, his eyes unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died. The emperor's pressure made Xie Changling start to sweat.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Jin might no longer be the same Xiao Jin as before. He had thought too simply and things had changed.
