Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

"Satisfied, satisfied! My son knows that my father loves me the most!" Li Heng's face flushed with excitement, but at the same time, he also remembered where he was at the moment, and did not dare to speak too loudly, but he still couldn't help looking at the women's seats with a fiery gaze.

Li Heng was excited, but he didn't notice that Cheng En Gong and Jiang Qi, who were sitting next to them, had playful smiles on their faces.

Because the prince and Duke Cheng'en were both royal relatives, the Ministry of Rites arranged for them to sit together. Although the table was relatively large and there was a half-meter path in the middle separating them, they were still too close. In addition, Duke Cheng'en had fought on the battlefield to win the throne for the emperor, and his son Jiang Qi was his deputy general. Therefore, both of them practiced martial arts and had sharp hearing, so they could hear their words without having to concentrate on listening.

There was an unfathomable smile in Duke Cheng'en's eyes.

When he thought about the reaction of the prince and the prince's son if they knew that the second young lady of the Right Prime Minister's family and the Cheng'en Mansion had already obtained it, he almost couldn't help laughing. He wondered if their expressions would be very funny at that time?

Just as Yu Zinyin and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had expected, the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion indeed did not take the Prince's Mansion seriously. In fact, in the eyes of Duke Cheng'en, the threat posed by the Prince's Mansion was not as strong as that of the Dong family, whose reputation was now damaged. That was why he dared to criticize them in his heart. He also predicted that when the two families got married in the future, the Prince's Mansion would not dare to say anything.

Duke Cheng'en actually looked down upon the conduct of this prince's mansion.

Only a useless, incompetent man who is afraid of being surpassed by women would keep his female family members confined to his mansion, just like the prince felt that the daughter of the Right Prime Minister was too showy in appearance and was unwilling to let her go out. In fact, the essence of this was that the prince knew that his son was not worthy of the daughter of the Right Prime Minister, and was afraid that after the daughter of the Right Prime Minister married into the prince's mansion, she would look down on his useless son and find a new love outside, thus cuckolding his son.

After all, if you are excellent yourself, why should you be afraid of your wife's attractive charm?

They will not target the outstanding and beautiful Miss Yu like the Prince's Palace did, but will focus their attention on those who covet Miss Yu.

While drinking, Jiang Qi glanced at the prince and Li Heng with a cold look in his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Although he and Yu Ziyin did not have much affection for each other because they had only spent a short time together, they had already decided on the marriage in private and he had given her a token of love. Yu Ziyin had already been classified as one of his own. So when he heard the tone of the prince and Li Heng, who treated Yu Ziyin as the property of the prince's mansion and could do whatever they wanted with her, he felt that they were extremely incompetent and ridiculous.

Didn't they even consider whether their Prince's Mansion was worthy? How could a Prince's Mansion, with no real achievements and relying solely on the Emperor's grace, dare covet the daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion? Not to mention, Concubine Qin, the one behind the Prince's Mansion, had recently been discovered by her own father and suspected of having poisoned the Empress Dowager. Currently, there was only scattered evidence and no witnesses.

The reason why she knew this was because Concubine Qin relied on the Queen Mother to act arrogantly in the harem.

Concubine Qin was not the only one in the harem. There was also a Concubine Yu who was especially bullied by the other party on a daily basis. She hated Concubine Qin very much in her heart. At the same time, she couldn't bear to see Concubine Qin living a happy life by pleasing the queen mother, so she wanted to take revenge. She had been trying to catch the other party's whip in secret, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally hear such a big secret.

At that time, Concubine Qin had just returned from the Empress Dowager's palace. It seemed that she had received some reward from the Empress Dowager. While she was happy, she couldn't help muttering, talking about how she almost poisoned the Empress Dowager. She said sourly that if the poisoning had succeeded, would she have become the Empress Dowager?

Concubine Yu was extremely excited after holding this huge handle, but because Concubine Qin was talking to herself in her own palace and there were no palace servants serving her, there was no witness to prove that Concubine Qin said these words. Concubine Yu also knew that she had no evidence at all, but she did not want to lose such an opportunity to bring the other party down. After thinking about it, she could only ask someone to secretly write an anonymous letter and send it out of the palace to the hands of Duke Cheng'en.

Concubine Yu was thinking that Duke Cheng'en was the Empress Dowager's brother. Regardless of whether the story was true or not, he would investigate it for the Empress Dowager's safety. As for why she wanted to remain anonymous, Concubine Yu simply didn't want the matter to go unsolved and implicate her.

As she expected, Duke Cheng'en did take this matter seriously.

Duke Cheng'en naturally knew Concubine Qin. Not only was she the prince's biological mother, but she was also his sister, the best sister to the Queen Mother. Whenever he and his wife entered the palace, they would often see Concubine Qin by her side, which showed the Queen Mother's trust and love for Concubine Qin.

So, someone had written him a letter, informing him that Concubine Qin had attempted to poison his sister but failed? The Queen Mother was definitely unaware of this, otherwise, given Duke Cheng'en's understanding of his sister, she wouldn't have kept him close to her! But he couldn't rashly go and tell her without evidence. It just so happened that the Duke Cheng'en's mansion hadn't yet finished mourning, so he had plenty of time and manpower to investigate.

This incident happened too long ago, there is too little evidence, and Concubine Qin seemed afraid that this matter would be known to others, so all the palace people around her at that time died. It is naturally difficult to find human witnesses, but it is not impossible.

The people from the Cheng'en Mansion have already gone to the people to look for those witnesses, and they will soon be sent to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

The reason why those witnesses were not in the palace was that when the retired emperor passed away, the current emperor, as a gesture of mercy, released the palace maids of appropriate age from the palace. Those witnesses who knew the truth took advantage of the situation and left, and thus luckily escaped the assassination attempt by Concubine Qin's men.

Concubine Qin thought she had killed all the people who knew about the incident, but she didn't know that man proposes, God disposes. As long as the human witnesses were gathered and handed over together with the physical evidence, the prince's mansion would be destroyed.

Jiang Qi has been following this matter. It is equivalent to that the life and death of the Prince's Mansion is in Jiang Qi's hands. Now, what he wants to do is to accelerate the decline of the Prince's Mansion.

Thinking of the subsequent ending of the Prince's Mansion, Jiang Qi was only secretly angry for a while, and did not dwell too much on the matter of the kiss. After all, the Prince's Mansion was almost gone, so why bother with such a person.

Jiang Qi turned his gaze to the women's seats over there.

And as if by telepathy, after he looked over, Yu Zinyin also looked over to him.

The girl has red lips, white teeth and fair skin. She wears a low-key maroon waist-cinching long skirt and a navy blue shawl, which makes her look like carved white jade. When she smiles, people can't take their eyes off her.

Jiang Qi's gaze slowly fell on her temples, and when he saw the hairpin inlaid with oriental pearls, his eyes sparkled with joy.

She was wearing the token of love he had given her. Unbeknownst to everyone, she had already been his. Was the Prince's Palace really worthy enough to compete with him?

Because the men's and women's seats were far apart, Yu Ziyin only knew that he was looking at her, but she didn't know that he was smiling. But before she could think too much, she heard the voices of two eunuchs outside. One shouted, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" The other shouted, "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived!"
