Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 150 Surfaced
It was a month later when the scarred man returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
The seventh prince Zhao Yu did not expect that it would take him more than a month to find out who was behind this action.
"Your Highness, I have found out everything." The scarred man knelt on one knee and saluted.
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Your Highness, the Gu family has been under the auspices of the Princess Royal since two years ago. It was also with the support of the Princess Royal that the new head of the Gu family took the position of head of the family and eliminated the Gu family's side branches, firmly controlling the Gu family. Last year, the Princess Royal went to Liangzhou to be crowned the Queen, and the head of the Gu family followed her."
Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, seeming a little surprised by the answer.
But it doesn't seem that surprising.
After all, there are not many people who can secretly win over the prince and him under their noses and remain hidden until now.
However, his biggest suspect before was his fifth brother. After all, his mother's family was weak and he needed the support of the money even more. Moreover, his fifth brother had a calm face and seemed to only love romance and not care about state affairs. He was very good at disguising himself.
It's more in line with his style.
But he never expected that this was the work of his royal sister, which really surprised him!
But corresponding to this was a strong sense of crisis that rose up. They did not expect that the royal sister who had gradually faded out of their brothers' sight actually had such a backup plan.
At first I thought she was so scarred that she was basically expelled from the power circle in the capital by her father, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
Zhao Yu was silent for a long time before he asked, "Can we find out how glass is made?"
The scarred man lowered his head a little and replied in a deep voice: "I am incompetent. I can only find out that the glass was produced in Liangzhou. I have sent people to infiltrate Liangzhou, but the situation in Liangzhou is unclear now, so it will be difficult to get any news in a short time."
"Heh..." Zhao Yu laughed mockingly.
The imperial sister can only say that even the father can feel the threat, and his means are extraordinary.
"Go and quietly tell the prince about this. I shouldn't be the one who should be most anxious right now."
"Yes, Your Highness." The man slowly stood up and walked out of the study silently.
However, two days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been brooding over his failure to bring the Gu family under his control, got the news. That night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smashed the teacups, pens, ink, paper, and inkstone in his study to pieces.
Ever since the eldest princess was granted the title of Liangzhou, the Crown Prince, who thought he had a sure victory in the throne, was attacked by the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince in succession. His father, the Emperor, who had always trusted and doted on him, did not want him to dominate the country alone, and his attitude towards him became increasingly cold.
Moreover, in recent days, the tasks assigned to him by his father have always gone wrong one after another, causing his father to become increasingly dissatisfied with him, and instead began to give the tasks to the seventh brother and others.
As a result, the prince's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and his actions have become more and more flawed. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult for him to control his emotions and behavior, and he has made more mistakes and errors. These mistakes will further aggravate his inner anxiety and uneasiness, and make him fall into a deeper predicament. This cycle continues to occur, eventually leading to a vicious cycle, making the prince's situation worse and worse.
This led to his rage after hearing the news tonight that the Gu family had long surrendered to the eldest princess, and he completely lost his usual composure and calmness.
You know, when he was planning for the Gu family, he had already regarded it as a sure thing. Who would have thought that his good thing would be ruined by the imperial sister he always hated.
He had been planning for so long, but in the end it fell into Jinyang's hands. How could he not be furious?
"A bunch of trash! They're all trash!"
The man kneeling in front of him was trembling a little. Although he was extremely scared, he still replied with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the head of the Gu family has gone to Liangzhou with the princess. Our people can't find her at all. Moreover, the origin of the so-called glass should also be in the princess's fiefdom. That is the princess's base. We have no way to find out the news inside."
He knew the reputation of the eldest princess. She was able to lead the army to expel the Tartars when she was just a teenager. The eldest princess even led the army to fight personally, leading the soldiers in person and defeating the enemy many times. The enemy country was terrified and the barbarians dared not to attack again.
Moreover, I heard that the army under the eldest princess's command is well-disciplined and has extraordinary combat power. Who would dare to offend the eldest princess's fiefdom?
"Oh, you acted so pitiful when you were conferred the title, but you still have evil intentions. A woman who doesn't want to marry an honest man is always brandishing swords and guns, ambitiously coveting things that don't belong to her." The tone of Crown Prince Zhao Sheng was full of sarcasm, but his eyes were mixed with jealousy that he himself was not aware of.
He was jealous of his sister's talent, yet secretly looked down on her female identity, which made his attitude towards Jinyang full of contradictions.
He has always regarded her as his biggest enemy. You know, even their father also regarded her as a threat, otherwise she would not have cooperated with him to drive Nian Jinyang out of the capital last year. He thought he had finally killed his biggest threat.
Who knew that she would appear in front of him again.
"Are you saying that the Gu family has amassed a lot of wealth in the past two years?"
By the time Crown Prince Zhao Sheng calmed down, an incense stick of time had passed. He closed his eyes, calmed himself, and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes, in recent years, the Gu family has launched a lot of new things, whether it is the Yaochi Fairy Bath or the glass. According to our current analysis, the money earned by the Gu family during this period can be said to be considerable, or even more."
"The Gu family's money can be said to be the imperial sister's money. She now has a lot of money in her hands. She really... cannot be underestimated!" Even though Zhao Sheng was unwilling, he had to admit that his imperial sister really surprised him again.
"Your Highness, we need to make plans early."
Zhao Sheng flicked his sleeves, glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "Of course I know. Go, send someone to sneak into Liangzhou immediately, and find out what my good sister has been doing in Liangzhou in the past two years. It would be best if you can get me the method of making glass!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The man bowed and replied. After hesitating for a moment, he moved closer and asked, "Should I inform His Majesty about this?"
If Your Majesty takes action, it will definitely save a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, the prince's eyes were grim, his face darkened, and in his clear voice, he suppressed his anger and shouted, "Fool! With the way my father treats me now, what can I gain even if I overthrow my sister? If the Seventh and Fifth Brothers knew about this, wouldn't that just give me a few more competitors?"
Even though he was deeply afraid of Jinyang, he subconsciously believed that a woman could not sit on the supreme throne.
(I still haven’t thought of a name for the eldest princess!)
