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

Chapter 438: Bai Youyou really knows how to get herself into trouble!

Li looked at her slender and upright back, and her mind echoed with what she had just said: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the enemy of the prince is...

Li guessed what Bai Youyou meant, but she was not happy at all.

She returned to her yard and heard her son's worried voice before she even entered the door.

"Dad, now the court is saying that the prince used the magic powder to control the ministers. This made the emperor angry, and now the prince has been confined to the East Palace."

"Then can the emperor take back the military power from the prince?"

"That's not true."

"Since the military power has not been taken back, there is no need to panic about this matter. With the Third Prince here, the Emperor will not depose the Crown Prince."

Li was shocked when she heard this. She pulled aside the curtain and walked in, asking anxiously, "Has the Crown Prince been confined by the Emperor?"

"It's just house arrest. As long as the emperor doesn't take back the military power from the prince, it won't be considered a loss of power." Bai Qingyu raised his eyes to look at her, "What did Youyou say?"

"Youyou said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"What do you mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend?" Bai Zhengnan looked at his mother suspiciously.

"It's still about Zhen Ni Fang returning the money." Li took a sip of the tea served by the maid, "The Jiang Mansion has been raided, and now there is no place to ask for the money."

Bai Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Bai Youyou meant by "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

He lowered his voice and asked, "Youyou means for us to go find the Third Prince?"

"Who else in the world would be the most unwilling to see the Crown Prince suffer except the Third Prince?" Li frowned. "But now you have surrendered to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince knew that we went to find the Third Prince to deal with him, we would not be able to withstand his revenge."

Bai Zhengnan wanted to say it was just a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, but when he met his father-in-law and uncle today, they both looked at him coldly and ignored him.

This time, not only did they lose money, but all of his relatives from Yue family also lost everything because of him.

"We cannot personally intervene in this matter, but there are many people in the capital who have been harmed by Zhen Ni Fang. Why don't we encourage them to go find the Third Prince?"

Bai Qingyu listened to his son's words and nodded slightly, "This plan is feasible, but you must not reveal your true colors."

Li was still worried, "If those people really start a riot, it would be troublesome if the prince found out that we were the ones instigating it."

Bai Zhengnan smiled, "Mom, don't worry. We just need to find a few smart people to secretly stir up the emotions. Those people are already angry, and they have suffered such a big loss. It doesn't take much effort to stir up trouble."

"I'll have someone take care of this matter, so don't worry about it."

Fearing that her son's future would be affected, Li took the initiative to take charge of the matter.

She acted very quickly. A few days later, those families in the capital who had lost money in Zhennifang were indeed ready to take action, and many of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Some of the brave ones took the lead and went to the Third Prince's residence to cry and plead for them, asking the Third Prince to make a decision for them.

Zhao Zhong glanced through the crack in the door at the crowd of people outside, and hurried to the Plum Garden to find the third prince.

"Your Highness, there are more and more people outside."

Before the Third Prince could speak, Huang Shanshan, who was wearing a light green brocade dress opposite him, had a strange look on her face.

The Third Prince noticed her strangeness and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"My cousin Bai Youyou went to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion the day before yesterday, and my aunt asked cousin Youyou about the prince's return of the money." Huang Shanshan said, and then changed the subject, "But I don't know if this idea was hers."

The third prince was a little surprised, "Bai Youyou?"

He frowned and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

This Bai Youyou is really good at making trouble for herself!

He didn't want to make the prince unhappy, but some things couldn't be brought to the surface, especially in such a high-profile manner.

The Third Prince pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it was her idea or not, since this matter has already started, we can only go with the flow. But we also need to find out who is involved in this."

Zhao Zhong took the order and left.

At this time, the shouting of the merchants outside the door was deafening. Zhao Zhong straightened his clothes and asked someone to open the door.

He stood on the steps and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, the Third Prince knows your grievances and has promised to do his best to seek justice for you."

"Thank you, Third Prince!"

"Thank you, Third Prince, for doing justice for us!"

Everyone thanked him repeatedly.

On the other hand, the prince learned about this in the East Palace and was so angry that he smashed the teacup.

"There must be someone behind this. Go check it out for me. We must find out who it is!"

When the truth is revealed, he will definitely teach that person a lesson! !

Before one problem is solved, another one arises. The incident with the Immortal Powder had already made him extremely anxious, and now this incident happened again. The prince's face was ferocious, and he was like an angry lion at this moment.

The guard went out trembling, and Zhu Liu walked in anxiously.

"Your Highness, Lord Zheng and Lord Wang are here, they..."

"The Immortal Powder is gone so quickly?" The prince became increasingly annoyed. "Didn't they say it would last for half a month?"

"Your Highness, the toxicity of the Immortal Powder will only grow stronger, and the ones that survived previously are almost used up."

At the moment, he couldn't find anyone who could refine the Immortal Powder, so the prince gritted his teeth and said, "Send the two Lords Zheng and Wang away first, and tell them that I don't have it for the time being, and ask them to be patient for now."

"Your Highness, this matter..."

Zhu Liu wanted to say that most people could not endure this poison, but looking at the prince's sinister eyes, he could only bite the bullet and walk out.

The prince rubbed his temples and paced back and forth in the study room anxiously.

No matter what, he had to find a way to rescue Liu Laogui, otherwise in a few days these people would come to him and make trouble. By then, it would be clear who his people were!

When Zhu Liu came back, he immediately ordered him, "Take your men to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion tonight and bring back Liu Laogui no matter what!"

Zhu Liu had long wanted to kill the entire family of the Duke of Zhenguo to avenge his two brothers. This time he did not hesitate at all and nodded firmly to agree.

"I'll go right away."

The night was cold and windy.

Zhu Liu led a group of men in black and sneaked into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

At this time, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was quiet. The patrolling servants did not realize the danger was approaching. They yawned and tried hard to keep their sleepy eyelids open.

Zhu Liu and others successfully reached the dungeon where Liu Laogui was imprisoned. Just as he was rejoicing, a dense rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky with the sound of breaking through the air!

The servant who had been sleepy just now stood up straight, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his sharp eyes.

"Oops, we're ambushed!"

Zhu Liu cried out in surprise and quickly swung his sword to block the oncoming sharp arrow.

The people around me fell one by one, and in the silent night, the wailing sounds drowned out the sound of the sharp arrows breaking through the air!
