The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Even if the Fourth Prince got angry, the butler would not dare to really leave.

Through the bed curtains, the butler explained, "Your Highness, there's an incident at the dock."

The Fourth Prince suddenly opened his eyes and pushed the beautiful woman away from him. "What happened at the dock?"

He still cares a lot about the dock.

The butler handed him the letter, and the Fourth Prince opened it with confusion.

The more he looked at her, the uglier her expression became: "You bastard, who is so bold as to dare to mess with this prince's territory?"

"Go ask which government office did this."

He has people in every government office. Who would be so short-sighted as to dare to mess with his business?

The butler smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the messenger just now said that it was the Royal Guards who took action."

"Imperial Guards?" The Fourth Prince's arrogance and anger came to an abrupt end.

The next moment his face turned pale, and the Royal Guards only obeyed the orders of the one in the palace.

Now they are actually attacking his place. Could it be that he knows something?

The Fourth Prince was completely afraid that it was that person who would take action.

"Go, quickly invite the Prime Minister, go quickly."

The butler left quickly, and the Fourth Prince didn't have the time to change his clothes. He just put on a coat and hurried out.

The Prime Minister was called in in a hurry. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the Fourth Prince walking back and forth barefoot, wearing a coat and with messy hair.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

When the Fourth Prince saw him, he felt like he had seen a savior: "Prime Minister, you are finally here. Something big has happened."

He spoke anxiously about the dock problem and looked at the Prime Minister eagerly: "What should we do now?"

The Prime Minister frowned and paced back and forth. He was also worried, but he also knew that now was not the time to be anxious.

"Your Highness, are you sure it was someone in the palace who did it?"

The Fourth Prince: "If not that person, who can move the Imperial Guards?"

"Prime Minister, the Emperor has already ordered the action. He will definitely blame me in the morning. You better think of a solution quickly."

The prime minister was annoyed by his urging and felt contempt for him.

How can the Fourth Prince get so anxious when encountering a little problem? Can he be more calm?

"Your Highness, don't worry. I don't think it's the so-called one in the palace."

"Uh?" The Fourth Prince was stunned. "Why?"

The Prime Minister shook his head slightly. "If it was the Emperor who did it, how could he not have summoned Your Highness by now?"

"That's right." The Fourth Prince nodded subconsciously. "If it was my father who did it, he would have summoned me to the palace the moment he suspected anything, but he wouldn't have cared if it was late at night. How could there have been no movement for so long?"

"Who could that be?"

"Second brother? He's not qualified to use the Royal Guards, is he?"

Even though the second brother is the crown prince, he always flirts with people in the palace. He doesn't have the courage to mobilize the imperial guards.

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "There is still one person who can be mobilized, the Sixth Prince."

"Sixth Brother?" The Fourth Prince snorted, "Just him? Is he worthy?"

Don’t think that Lao Liu is arrogant and domineering every day and doesn’t take everyone seriously.

But the Royal Guards ignored him.

The Prime Minister said calmly, "Your Highness, have you forgotten?"

"A few days ago, the Sixth Prince asked the Emperor to borrow several hundred Imperial Guards."

"This..." The Fourth Prince reacted and realized that this was really the case. At that time, he despised the Sixth Prince for his flattery because of this matter.

I was sure it was Lao Liu. Although he was no longer scary, I was still annoyed: "Lao Liu, he has nothing better to do than to mess with my business. Is he looking for death?"

The prime minister was speechless when he saw how angry he was.

"Your Highness, is the business being blocked at the dock related to disaster relief grain?"

"Yes." The Fourth Prince had nothing to hide: "It's just a switch."

"Fourth Prince." The Prime Minister was furious. "Didn't we agree that once the grain arrived in Jiangdong, you would just withhold it. Why would you switch things up for no reason?"

The Fourth Prince had been doing things in private, and now that such a mess had occurred, how could the Prime Minister not be angry?

The Fourth Prince did something really dishonest.

But he considered himself a prince, a subject, so why should anyone complain about him?

He snorted coldly, "This prince just thinks that it would be a waste to transport such good grain to Jiangdong. It would be better to exchange it for miscellaneous grains and sell it in the capital to make more money."

The Prime Minister didn't know what to say about him.

You swapped disaster relief grain right here in the capital, and considering how seriously the Sixth Prince took this matter, how could he not have noticed?

The Fourth Prince saw that the Prime Minister had a bad look on his face. He was unhappy in his heart, but he also knew that he needed to rely on the Prime Minister, so he said in a gentle tone, "Prime Minister, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Old Six has captured the dock workers and seized all the goods. He will definitely report this to Father tomorrow. What should we do?"

Can you not report it?

If the Fourth Prince had caught the Sixth Prince with something like this, he would have wanted to crush that bastard to death.

The Prime Minister frowned and pondered, then said leisurely, "Your Highness, this is not difficult."

"That thing over at the dock was done by merchants in the city. You just need to move the merchants away. It has nothing to do with you."

The Fourth Prince thought the same thing and said, "I will go and take them out of the city right now."

The Prime Minister stopped him, saying, "Your Highness, please do not interfere in this matter. Don't let anyone catch you. I believe the Sixth Prince's spies are already everywhere."

"It would be safer for me to personally arrange for someone to do it."

......

In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Ning Yi was still busy.

A maid knocked on the door and came in. Ning Yi asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

This maid is Yang Ziqin's personal servant.

The maidservant politely bowed slightly: "Your Highness, Miss, no, the princess asked if Your Highness would go to the backyard tonight..."

They can call Yang Ziqin "Miss".

But in front of Ning Yi, she didn't dare to address him like that and could only use the title of Prince's Consort.

Ning Yi thought about it and realized that he had been busy recently and had neglected her again.

"This prince will be there in a moment."

"I'll take my leave." The maid bowed with a happy look on her face and left.

After Ning Yi finished his work, he walked out of the room and went to the backyard.

I saw that it was pitch black in the direction of the bedroom. Didn’t Yang Ziqin call me here? Why didn’t you turn on the lights? Do you like playing hide-and-seek in the dark?

Ning Yi walked along the corridor and just turned the corner.

I could faintly hear the sound of discussion.

Curiosity made him move closer. It turned out that Yang Ziqin's two personal maids were eating quietly and talking in low voices.

One of them was the one who had just delivered the message to him.

"The Sixth Prince hasn't come to the backyard for so many days. Is he not interested in the young lady?"

"How is that possible? Last time I heard the Sixth Prince coaxing the young lady into calling her darling in the room. He was so gentle."

"You don't know, Miss actually cares a lot about the Sixth Prince."

"Hey, do you want the Sixth Prince to favor you sooner?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could the Sixth Prince be interested in us maids?"

"What's there to hide? We're just maids accompanying the young lady. Sooner or later, we'll belong to the Sixth Prince."

"I just hope that the Sixth Prince will treat us better and not treat the other servants like he treats them, either leaving them disabled or being used as prostitutes."

"Cough cough..." A coughing sound was heard behind him.

The two maids were so frightened that they stood up in panic like frightened rabbits.

I saw that it was the Sixth Prince who had arrived.

Their faces turned pale, their legs weak as they knelt down: "Your servants, your servants greet His Highness."
