As a man, the third prince did not think there was anything wrong with keeping a concubine. Instead, he felt that Su Qingya was intolerant and too jealous.

But he said with a look of agreement: "It is really hateful that Miss Su's kindness was betrayed."

The names have changed.

Su Qingya curled her lips slightly, and naturally saw that his words were insincere. The Third Prince's acting skills were much worse than those of Prince Ning.

The latter deceived her for several years.

"Let's talk business. With such a big incident happening in the palace, doesn't the Third Prince want to seize the opportunity?"

"what chance?"

The third prince played dumb.

"Your Majesty is in a coma, the Crown Prince's life or death is unknown, and there is no one to supervise the country. It is normal for some chaos to occur. If the Third Prince can quell the rebellion, won't he immediately gain the favor of the court officials and Your Majesty?"

Su Qingya didn't mind explaining it more thoroughly.

There was ambition in the eyes of the Third Prince. In fact, he also had this idea.

"Miss Su, do you have any ideas?"

"The first thing to do is to bury the prince."

Su Qingya knew that she needed to demonstrate more abilities in order to gain the true trust of the Third Prince.

The third prince frowned and said nothing.

By now, most people are 70% to 80% sure that the prince has passed away.

The reason why my father did not announce the death was probably because he could not accept the reality.

They also saw that their father attached great importance to the crown prince. The princes felt unhappy, but also relieved.

Because the prince died.

Why argue with the dead?

If he were to make moves in the Eastern Palace now, his father would probably hate him when he woke up.

It’s better to ignore it.

He seized the opportunity to make meritorious deeds so that his father could see his abilities when he woke up.

"Third Prince, if you bury the Crown Prince, the Emperor might be angry with you, but the court officials will think you are responsible and courageous. Risking punishment to help the Emperor put an end to his extravagant hopes, isn't that filial piety, and isn't it for the stability of the court and the empire?"

Su Qingya seemed to see what he was thinking and tried to persuade him.

The prime minister and other important officials did not want to see the emperor fall into grief, which would cause him too much physical and mental damage and affect state affairs.

The third prince also figured it out.

If he wants that position, he has to demonstrate his abilities and win over powerful forces.

To be honest, the people he has available are far inferior to the Second Prince.

but……

"Afterwards, even if the emperor is annoyed with you, it will only be temporary. Over time, with the emperor's wisdom, will he still understand your good intentions?"

Su Qingya reminded.

She knew the current emperor: he was wise, decisive, ruthless, and most importantly, he valued the world more than his family.

The Third Prince's eyes lit up and he praised: "Miss Su, you are indeed smart. It is a blessing for my cousin to marry you. What a pity..."

"Third Prince, I provide you with information and advice. If you still don't trust me and keep testing me, there's no need for us to continue our cooperation."

Su Qingya's face suddenly turned cold and she stood up to leave.

The third prince quickly stopped them.

"Miss Su, it's my fault..."

A quarter of an hour later, Su Qingya left the teahouse, got on a dusty carriage, and returned to the uncle's house in a low-key manner.

The third prince watched the carriage go away with an unfathomable expression.

"Third Prince, this woman cannot be fully trusted."

A figure appeared silently.

The third prince's face was expressionless.

"I know, but it's not bad to use it as a chess piece."

What really concerned him was what Su Qingya said, that the Zhuge Crossbow was made by her. Was it true or false?

If that's true, will she do something even more amazing?

Su Qingya closed her eyes and rested in the carriage, going over her conversation with the Third Prince today in her mind.

She knew that since they had just met, the Third Prince was still mostly suspicious of her, but it didn't matter, she would prove herself.

As soon as she returned to the Earl's Mansion, she heard that someone had come from Prince Ning's Mansion.

Princess Ning sent someone to invite Su Qingya back to the palace.

Su Qingya pretended to be weak and unable to get out of bed, and fooled the servants in the palace.

But she knew that if it happened twice more, she would have to go back to the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw Prince Ning's men everywhere, so it would be difficult for her to make any small moves.

It seems that her plan needs to be implemented faster.

Princess Mansion, Garden.

The servant hurried in and reported, "Princess, the Second Prince said he hasn't finished copying the Buddhist scriptures yet and can't come."

The third princess's face turned cold: "It's already this hour, and you're still copying Buddhist scriptures, you idiot!"

She had a good relationship with the Second Prince, but she couldn't stand his mild nature. If she had been more proactive, perhaps things would have been accomplished long ago.

It's a pity that she is a girl, otherwise...

The servant trembled and said, "The Second Prince also said that copying Buddhist scriptures is a good thing. It is to pray for the Crown Prince and also for His Majesty."

The third princess raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is this asking her to wait and see and not get involved?

But such a good opportunity...

She waved her hand and the servant left.

The prince consort glanced at her and advised, "Princess, why don't you listen to the Second Prince for once? There's something fishy about this matter."

"Oh?"

The third princess was puzzled.

"Prince, whether he is alive or dead is still uncertain. If the prince is really dead, can the Fang family still be safe?"

This is what the prince consort is most suspicious of.

"You don't know, the prince treats that family very differently." The third princess shook her head.

She had been to Huainan Prefecture and witnessed with her own eyes how the prince protected Fang Nanzhi. Even after the Fang family came to the capital, the prince did not change his attitude.

"Father is sometimes very indulgent towards the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince left a message before his death, the Emperor might be angry, but he might also restrain himself and not touch the Fang family."

Obviously, the third princess also felt that the prince had passed away.

"If this is true, I'm afraid my father will be in great pain. Whatever I do now will be like adding fuel to the fire when he wakes up."

The prince consort sighed.

The third princess said, "If we don't fight, there will be plenty of people who will. By then, it will be too late."

"Princess, you fought bravely for the Second Prince, but he just played it safe. Is it worth it?"

The prince consort had wanted to say this for a long time.

The third princess stood up, sat in his arms, and lifted her chin with one hand.

"Prince Consort, are you unwilling to accompany me?"

The prince consort chuckled: "What do you think, Princess?"

The third princess snorted softly before saying, "Weakness has its advantages, at least for me."

She admired her great-aunt the most, but also looked down on her the most. She had already paid a lot to help her father keep his throne. How could she give up her power and raise her daughter wholeheartedly?

The prince consort looked into her ambitious eyes and vaguely understood something.

The third princess is not only wholeheartedly doing it for the second prince, but also for herself.

The son-in-law was inexplicably frightened. He wanted to say that the second prince was gentle in nature, but not weak, and was not easy to control.

But looking at the light in the third princess's eyes, he knew she wouldn't listen.

Forget it, then I'll go crazy with her for once.

The Fang family also knew what happened in the court.

Fang Tong felt that the royal father and son were planning a big move, but he didn't know who they were targeting. They were really unlucky.

I was also worried about Yin Xiafen, wondering if he was safe.
