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

It’s not that he was reluctant to kill the queen, but if he did, the third brother would definitely feel resentful.

After all, it's still the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Otherwise, why would he be so timid and weigh the pros and cons even when dealing with a woman!

The queen thought she understood the emperor, but she didn't expect that he didn't mind at all even when he saw the prince having an affair with his concubine with his own eyes.

The emperor really didn't care, after all, he had done this kind of thing many times in the past.

The screams in the yard were shrill and tragic. In a moment, all the palace servants who came with the queen fell in a pool of blood with their eyes bulging and died with their eyes open.

"Shut up! If I know this, I will kill all your clans!"

The emperor glanced at the queen with a cold look, then glanced at the prince with a stern gaze. He snorted coldly, then left with a heavy wave of his sleeves.

Steward Li bowed and followed behind him in small steps, a look of pity swept across the queen's face.

After the fall of the General's Mansion, the Queen and the Third Prince tried to win over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in order to protect themselves. Although they managed to save themselves, they also became thorns in the eyes of the Emperor.

It is true that the Duke Zhenguo Mansion is the reason for both success and failure.

After the emperor left, the prince stood up from the ground, a smug smile on his lips, "Empress, how does it feel to be too clever?"

"It is still unknown who will win, so don't be happy too soon, Prince!"

The queen stood up with great effort, supporting herself on the ground. She raised her chin slightly, her expression still arrogant, but her messy hair and swollen cheeks could not hide her embarrassment.

The news of her failed frame-up was soon sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. When Bai Youyou learned about it, she felt quite regretful.

"The queen had planned everything, but she never expected the emperor to be willing to be a cuckold for a thousand years."

The old lady sneered, "They are just birds of a feather."

Bai Youyou was surprised, "The emperor also did this?"

"Well, the late emperor ordered the execution of many people in order to save the royal family's reputation." The old lady looked indifferent, "If the queen knew about this, she would definitely not use it to overthrow the prince."

"It was because they acted too hastily. If they had asked us before they acted, what happened today wouldn't have happened." Bai Youyou smiled, "But the prince has been confined for three months, so we can use this time to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Immortal Powder."

The imprisoned prince had a grim expression on his face.

"Useless, didn't I tell you to guard Changchun Palace? Why didn't you know when the emperor came?"

Fortunately, Manager Li spoke up to help, otherwise he might have fallen into the Queen's trap.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was not careful and was poisoned by the Queen's incense."

The three secret guards in charge of guarding the gate knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes.

The prince pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, saying coldly: "I will spare your lives this time, but if you make a mistake again, I will never let you off easily!"

The secret guards responded quickly.

The prince paced back and forth in the hall, his mind in turmoil.

Although he had escaped the disaster temporarily, the emperor would certainly be more vigilant against him after this incident. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would definitely not let it go, so he had to come up with a countermeasure to prevent the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion from taking care of other things within three months.

Zhu San walked in quickly, his expression solemn, "Your Highness, Zhen Ni Fang has been closed, but those merchants were furious after hearing the news, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble."

The prince was disdainful, "A bunch of lowly people, if they dare to cause trouble, they will be punished for the crime of treason!"

"Your Highness, the people who joined our Zhennifang are not only merchants, but also aristocratic families."

Zhu San handed the thick list in his hand to the prince, "You will know after you read it."

His words made the prince pause.

The affairs of Zhennifang were all handled by Yong'an Hou, and the recruitment of merchants was entirely the responsibility of Bai Yanlang. He really didn't know about this.

When he took the list and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

Most of them are wealthy people in Beijing!

If they were just merchants, a little intimidation would scare them, but Zhen Ni Fang was mostly run by wealthy and powerful families in the capital, and one family had opened more than a dozen or even twenty shops. Some even went so far as to invest all their fortunes in Zhen Ni Fang!

Zhu San considered it for a while and suggested: "Your Highness, why don't we raise the price and keep Zhen Ni Fang open?"

"If the price is the same, do you think you can outperform Yun Ni Fang?" The prince was self-aware of this. He pinched his brows in annoyance, "Have you found Xu Sheng?"

"No." Zhu San shook his head.

If Xu Sheng were here, perhaps he could have cracked out more prescriptions, but Zhen Nifang has only a limited variety of products, and apart from price, they have no chance of competing with Bai Youyou's Yun Nifang.

In just half a year, he had already lost one million taels of silver. If he continued like this, he would only lose more.

Knowing that it is a losing business, the prince naturally would not do it, but how can he calm the anger of these people and stop them from causing trouble?

Zhennifang.......

The prince was originally thinking of some way to find some trouble for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but then an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"I have a plan, you should do it quickly!"

Zhu San walked over and the prince whispered something in his ear. Zhu San's eyelids suddenly lifted up and his eyes sparkled.

"My subordinates will do it now!"

On the other side, in the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Lu San came in from outside and said respectfully, "Young lady, the prince's Zhennifang has been closed today."

"However," he said with a somewhat grim expression, "the prince gave the recipe for making soap beans to those merchants."

Bai Youyou frowned when he heard this, "Huh, does he think he can mess me up like this?"

The old lady was a little worried, "Youyou, if the prince publishes the recipe of soap beans, the market will definitely be in chaos."

Bai Youyou remained calm and said with a faint smile, "Grandmother, don't worry. Our Yun Ni Fang doesn't just rely on this low-grade soapberry recipe to make money. Although the prince's publication of the recipe will have an impact, it won't be a big one."

The old lady listened to Bai Youyou's words and nodded slightly, "It's good that you know it in your heart."

Bai Youyou turned to look at Lu San, "Pay close attention to the movements of the merchants who got the prescriptions and see what they plan to do."

Lu San took the order and left.

In the capital city, people who were originally in a panic because of the closure of Zhen Nifang instantly turned their anger into joy after getting the soap bean recipe.

"Did you really give us this recipe for free?"

"The prince gave it to not only us, but also to everyone who opened a Zhennifang."

"Both?"

The smiles on everyone's faces in Yongning Marquis' Mansion disappeared in an instant.

Scarcity makes things valuable. This kind of thing that is everywhere on the street must be worthless.

"Let's not talk about anything else for now," Bai Qingyu pondered for a moment, "Let's get someone to prepare these materials first and see how much it will cost to make this thing."

With the recipe, this thing is very easy to make.

The merchants who got the recipe, like Bai Qingyu, asked people to buy the materials for making soap beans themselves.

They did it, but they couldn't laugh.
