After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The prince only found out about Bai Yaoyao summoning Bai Youyou into the palace after he returned to the palace.

"Why would she go and provoke the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for no reason?"

The Crown Prince looked displeased, and the Crown Prince's concubine beside him was still thinking about what the Queen had said to her today.

The emperor announced to the public that Bai Yaoyao was in love with him and offered herself to him, but she knew very well that Bai Yaoyao's heart was with the prince.

Thinking about how the prince had been staying in the study for many days, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Is that child really the old emperor’s?

Could it be——

She couldn't help but look up at the prince.

The prince played with the newly acquired parrot and said to the concubine without raising his head, "Since the queen asked you to accompany Baipin to relieve her boredom, you should go to Changchun Palace more often when you have nothing to do in the future."

"Yes."

The concubine responded softly.

The prince gave the birdcage in his hand to Zhu San and went to the study with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Marquis Yong'an came to the East Palace with pursed lips and a panicked look.

"Prince, something terrible has happened!"

The prince was lighting incense in his hand. He frowned when he heard this. "What happened again?"

"Old Ghost Liu ran away!"

Upon hearing this, the prince exerted force with his hand, and the thin ambergris instantly broke into two pieces.

He threw it into the incense burner with force, then turned around and stared at Yong'an Hou with a gloomy look, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? Why did you let him run away?!"

"Those good-for-nothings, who knows how they get things done!"

Marquis Yong'an has been exhausted these days and has a few more white hairs on his temples.

Princess Suhua was making a fuss at home, so he had to pay some attention to her, which led to this kind of problem.

The Immortal Powder must not be stopped, otherwise Liu Laogui would have been killed and silenced long ago!

The prince's expression was as cold as ice.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is still investigating the Yaochi Garden incident. If they are allowed to find Liu Laogui, the consequences will be disastrous!

He walked quickly to the bookshelf, opened one of the secret compartments, took out a red gold token and threw it to Yong'an Hou, "Take my token, mobilize all the secret guards, and find Liu Laogui at all costs, regardless of life or death!"

"I'll do it right now!"

Marquis Yong'an came here for this token. After taking the token, he did not dare to delay for a moment and left quickly.

The prince's cheeks were tense and his gums were clenched with a crackling sound.

The stumbling block that hinders his future now is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It seems that he must get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as soon as possible!

"Zhu San!"

Zhu San walked in from outside, bowed and asked, "Your Highness."

"Take some people to keep a close eye on the Zhenguo Mansion, and send another person to keep an eye on Qiu Wanchun to see if he was in charge of the grain and grass purchased by the Zhenguo Mansion this time."

The prince's narrow eyes were filled with sinister intent, "If it's him, find a way to destroy that batch of food!"

Without that batch of food and supplies, he wanted to see if they would still have the mind to take care of other things!

"Yes!"

Zhu San followed the order and went out. He ran into Master Qin who was coming. He bowed to Master Qin and said, "Master."

Master Qin nodded slightly at him and walked into the study.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

The prince exhaled and relaxed his expression, "It's about Jiang Hui. Princess Suhua knows about Jiang Hui's death and is now in a big fuss."

He and Marquis Yong'an had kept the matter of the Immortal Powder a secret from Grand Tutor Qin from the beginning, otherwise he would have definitely tried to stop it if he had known about it.

Jiang Hui?

The scourge who died in Yucheng.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, but this matter cannot be publicized. It is better to appease Princess Suhua as soon as possible."

The prince was obviously hiding something from him, but since he didn't say anything, Master Qin wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Master, have you found out anything about the palace banquet?"

The prince walked to the table, picked up the gurgling teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of him.

"This old minister came here today for this matter."

"Who did it?"

Qin Taifu lifted his robe and sat down. He took a sip of the tea poured by the crown prince and said, "It was the Third Prince's men who kidnapped Baipin."

"It's the third brother?!" The prince was surprised, "Isn't he from the Zhenguo Mansion?"

"It's the Third Prince."

"The third brother was at the palace banquet that day—"

The prince recalled what happened that night, and suddenly remembered that the third brother had gone out once, but not for long, just a cup of tea time and he came back, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Could it be that there is someone from the Third Brother around the Emperor?"

The prince still remembered what Bai Yaoyao said about the person wearing a mask who hid in the closet with Bai Youyou. He asked, "Have you found out who the person wearing the mask was that night?"

Master Qin shook his head, "Not yet."

The prince frowned, wondering how the third prince got to know the news.

Master Qin put down the teacup in his hand and talked about Qin Ran. "I have already chosen a marriage for Ran Ran, and it is expected to be completed by the end of the year."

Upon hearing this, the prince raised his eyelids and looked at Qin Taifu, with a hint of displeasure flashing across his eyes, "Which family in the capital is it?"

"He is a poor scholar, not a noble."

"Master, Ranran and I have been childhood sweethearts. If she wants to marry, it would be better for her to stay by my side. I can take good care of her for you in the future."

Qin Taifu sighed softly, "Your Highness also understands Ranran's personality. The harem is full of intrigues and intrigues. How can she cope with it?"

"With me here, who dares to bully her?"

"I am old and will not live for many more years. You and Ran Ran have had a relationship since childhood." Qin Taifu said with a smile: "Even if you are not in the palace, if you want to take care of her, it is only a matter of a word."

The prince pursed his lips and said nothing.

The palace was full of intrigues and deceptions, and Qin Ran's weak personality made it difficult for her to cope with it.

but--

Qin Taifu smiled and said, "The man I found for Ranran is also a scholar. He got a good ranking in the imperial examination last year. When your highness succeeds in the future, please give him more support for the sake of your old minister. With you around, Ranran can be regarded as someone to rely on."

"Who is it?" asked the prince.

"He's called Li Wenchang. He has no parents and only a younger brother."

The prince immediately understood what Master Qin was thinking.

He did have some feelings for Qin Ran, but since the old tutor didn't want Qin Ran to enter the palace, he wouldn't force her.

Just a woman, nothing.

The prince raised his lips and said, "Taifu, rest assured. As long as I am here, I will never let anyone bully Ranran."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Qin Taifu stood up and bowed deeply to the prince.

"You are old, if you have nothing else to do, go back home and rest."

The prince had other things to tell others to do, so he sent the old tutor away.

In early spring, the weather in the capital is still warm.

Lu San took the news sent back by Lu Da and hurried to the old lady's yard.

"Madam, urgent news!"

The old lady was feeding the goldfish in the fish tank and her face was shocked when she heard this.

She put down the fish food in her hand, took the note from Lu San's hand, and after reading the contents on it, her face changed drastically!

"Quick, send people to Jiangnan to protect the food and grass!"
