Sure enough, early in the morning, the story of the lingering love between the prince and the side concubine was spread throughout Prince Duan's mansion.The old people in the mansion were all smiling, and they only hoped that the side concubine would give birth to a son for the prince.Xia Shuning was so ashamed to meet people, she even refused to go to Qingbo Garden today, and stayed in Changxia Garden with her daughter all the time.The two boys in the house were ignorant, and they were overjoyed when they heard the servants say that Empress Xia was going to give birth to a younger brother soon.He even ran to Chang Xia Garden to ask, Xia Shuning's face turned blue and white and red after being asked so bluntly by the children, and she didn't know how to explain it.He hurriedly called someone to bring pastries and coaxed them to eat, so they didn't continue to ask.The two boys teased the little Zhao Muning in Changxia Garden, and they forgot about his younger brother after a while.Zhao Muning could already speak some words, but not completely, and he also recognized some people.Zhao Muning's small mouth was very similar to Zhao Xiyan, but when it got bigger, he found that his ears and nose also resembled Zhao Xiyan.Xia Shuning always looked at her daughter and thought of her husband-in-law, and complained that her daughter was "unconscionable" and always resembled that enemy, but she was not like herself when she was pregnant in October, and she was already happy in her heart.Xia Shuning liked children very much, even though she knew that these two boys were not born to each other and had no blood relationship, she never underestimated them.Always try my best to help take care and care, especially Qi Rui.If Qi Rui gets tired from playing in Changxia Garden, Xia Shuning will always hold him in her arms and coax him to sleep.When a woman becomes a mother, her heart is much softer than when she was a girl, let alone a young child who lost her biological mother, she cherishes it all the more.

After Zhao Xiyan came out from Prince Duan's Mansion, he was not indulging in the happiness in the room, but worried.A large part of the funds in the wealthy Suzhou and Hangzhou area was swept away by force, causing the chamber of commerce to be disbanded, and now the merchants in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area are devastated.There were changes in the soldiers, horses, food and grass in the capital, but it was impossible to find out where these soldiers, horses, food and grass came from, and where they were hidden.Batch after batch of hidden guards were investigated, but to no avail.Now the prince is very quiet again, he has no intention of embarrassing him at all, how can Zhao Xiyan not be puzzled and worried.He didn't know anything about what the crown prince did, what would the crown prince do, and what should he do to deal with it?Yan Fengjun didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he strolled in the courtyard drinking tea.Zhao Xiyan and Yan Fengjun were waiting for Su Xiang and Xinyihou. Yan Fengjun naturally knew that Duan Wang was anxious, but she couldn't say anything.

Before Prime Minister Su arrived, the dark guard brought Wu Qingyao.As soon as Wu Qingyao arrived, she moved closer to greet Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan didn't like others getting too close to him, but he sat on the chair and had nowhere to retreat, so he could only frown.What Wu Qingyao said was intentional, but she didn't want to make him unhappy or annoying, so she had to back away.Zhao Xiyan wondered what Wu Qingyao was doing out at this time?Wu Qingyao told Zhao Xiyan honestly that she had already told Concubine Xia that it was the prince who suppressed wealthy businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou and took away their funds.The prince sent people to Suzhou and Hangzhou to challenge the rich merchants.First, they bought their items at a high price, and then they were out of stock everywhere, and the prices naturally went up.For some reason, the rich merchants frantically collected high prices everywhere and then sold them to the prince to make the difference.Unexpectedly, when the rich merchants put all their belongings into it, the prince's people disappeared with the money.Some merchants feel that this is a scam, so they are naturally unwilling to invest money in it.I don't know what method the prince's people used to unite those merchants who want to get rich and want to go crazy to suppress those merchants who are unwilling to invest money.All the businesses in Suzhou and Hangzhou were messed up, and even the money and goods disappeared in the cloth, grain, and pig iron industries.Zhao Xiyan knew that this matter had nothing to do with the prince. The prince wanted to raise soldiers, and the amount of money consumed was not what a prince's private treasury could support.Cloth, grain, and pig iron are necessary for marching and fighting. It is not difficult to understand that the prince has already conspired to force the palace.As soon as Emperor Shaoyuan died and King Duan took out the decree to abolish the crown prince, the crown prince would force the palace in one fell swoop.The crown prince took away the grain, grass, cloth, and pig iron from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the most affluent area in Daqi, which meant that King Duan was cut off from the way to revolt. He could resist for a while at most, but he couldn't fight a protracted war.Then as long as the crown prince declares war, he will not do his best to make small troubles, and King Duan can't afford to waste him.

Only then did Zhao Xiyan realize that the prince's intentions were vicious and his thoughts were really meticulous.Zhao Xiyan burst into flames, furious, Yan Fengjun gave him a wink, Zhao Xiyan calmed down and listened to Wu Qingyao's continuation.Wu Qingyao knew that the owner of Beiyuanjiang Mansion was very important to the prince, so she advised Duan Wang to try to seize Beiyuan Jiang Yuanci as a bargaining chip to delay time.But the Beiyuanjiang Mansion is heavily guarded, unless the guards are killed, and the prince is not informed, then he can be arrested smoothly.This is almost impossible, Zhao Xiyan's hidden guards have been trained for more than ten years, and they can't go in to find out, let alone kill people with great fanfare.Unless Jiang Yuanci came out by himself and was arrested, it would be unrealistic to go in and arrest him.Moreover, what is the relationship between Jiang Yuanci and the crown prince has not yet been clarified, and it is not known whether arresting him will be regarded as alarming the snake.If the crown prince didn't care about him very much, it would be tantamount to declaring war with the crown prince directly, and he would definitely be caught off guard by then.No matter how you calculate it, it is definitely not the best strategy to seize Jiang Yuanci at this time.It is still necessary to find out where the prince has taken the soldiers, horses, food and grass as soon as possible, and find a way to destroy one of them, which can delay time, so don't be too courageous.

Wu Qingyao didn't dare to speak too much, after all, she didn't know where the prince's grain, grass and soldiers were hidden, and talking more would only arouse Zhao Xiyan's suspicion.She really trusted him, but she helped the prince and hurt him a lot before, how can he make him trust her again?Zhao Xiyan kept thinking, and Wu Qingyao's eyes never left him.Yan Fengjun is such an intelligent woman, she can tell at a glance that Wu Qingyao is very unusual to Duan Wang, and she is probably another infatuated woman.Yan Fengjun sneered twice in his heart, saying that confidante is a disaster, but now Duan Wang is more trouble than a concubine, how many beauties are attracted by a single face.These women are really stupid, knowing that there will be no results, they still want to jump into the flames.They should be praised for their bravery in sacrificing their lives for love, or they should be laughed at for their stupidity.With the status of a prince, there are many Yingying and Yanyan around him.But the Duan Wang in front of him is different from other people, he used to be not good at women, but now he only loves side concubines.It's different from those rich and powerful who like three wives and four concubines and take in Luo beauties.But no matter how different it is, it is the same.Prince Duan's mansion is filled with a bunch of immortals, the concubine Qingcheng, Concubine Xia Shenyu, Concubine Qiu is also considered a noble family, and even the deceased Princess Mobei is beautiful and outstanding.Duan Wang really captured the hearts of many beauties with his face.Yan Fengjun didn't even think that when these words surfaced in his heart, he felt a little sour.

After Wu Qingyao finished what she wanted to say, Zhao Xiyan sent the secret guards to take her back to Xianfu Palace.Before leaving, Wu Qingyao turned her head three times at a step and added, "There is only Jun Wushuang in the sky and on the earth."This was a confession, but Zhao Xiyan was very excited when he heard it, and grabbed Wu Qingyao.

"Say it again, what?"

Wu Qingyao originally just wanted to take the opportunity to express her heart, hoping that she, who was homeless and had nowhere to go, would be by your side forever in the future.Wu Qingyao was even more happy to see Zhao Xiyan grabbing her so excitedly. Looking into Zhao Xiyan's eyes, she said it again firmly.This time Zhao Xiyan heard it clearly, but asked the secret guard to take her back.It was extremely difficult for Wu Qingyao to understand, if the prince was unintentional, why was he so excited and grabbed herself to ask her to say it again.If he wanted to, why didn't he take the opportunity to stay and ask the dark guard to send her back.It was also difficult for Yan Fengjun to understand, what kind of reaction was Duan Wang's tactful confession to Wu Qingyao.Zhao Xiyan hurriedly called Lin Haotian to check if there was any large flat land around the capital, and it was uninhabited.Lin Haotian didn't know why the master suddenly asked them to find such a place?But listening to the master is always right.

"My lord, what are you?"

"Wu Qingyao has done this king a great favor. This king probably knows where the prince's grain, grass, soldiers and horses are hidden. But such a place is really wronged."

Zhao Xiyan patted the table and laughed, Yan Fengjun was even more puzzled, what Wu Qingyao said could help.

"The prince made it clear that Feng Jun was puzzled."

"She said just now that there is heaven and earth. With so many soldiers and food, can they hide in the city?"

"My lord is saying?"

Yan Fengjun winked, and Zhao Xiyan smiled, very charmingly. "Exactly!"

Zhao Xiyan continued to smile heartily, the prince's move was really cautious.It's really not something that ordinary people can think of. Zhao Xiyan also remembered that he and Ulanya visited Khan's palace at night before Wu Qingyao pointed it out.If you don't have such an experience, you may not be able to figure it out even if you think about it.Yan Fengjun even blamed himself for being stupid. Isn't that how his Qinglian Sect exists?He was not as quick as Duan Wang thought, and chuckled to himself twice.

Soon Su Xiang came with faith, the two were very cautious, they both came in ordinary clothes, and they were not ostentatious at all.The two were about to salute Zhao Xiyan, but Zhao Xiyan shook his head with his hands, and the two had no choice but to get up.Zhao Xiyan knew that he couldn't promise them anything now, so naturally he couldn't ask them to be too polite. Instead, asking them to waive it was considered a kindness.Seeing King Duan being so humble and courteous, the two naturally looked at each other and smiled.

"My lord, Lord Hou brought you something good."

"I don't know what good things Xinyi brought?"

Xinyi Hou took out a thick stack of letters from his arms, and spread them in front of Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan glanced around, seeing nothing unusual.

"My lord, don't read the letter without any surprises. You will understand it naturally when you open it."

Zhao Xiyan picked up the top letter and opened it to read.After a long time, he showed a satisfied smile.Zhao Xiyan now also regards Yan Fengjun as a military advisor, and after reading it, he showed the letter to Yan Fengjun.

"Where did you get this from Xinyihou? It's really a good thing!"

"The old minister is not talented. When the first emperor was in power, he had a good relationship with the king of Qi, and he once did errands for the king of Qi. The emperor was very dissatisfied with the old minister. , raised some servants privately. The old ministers were terrified, lest the sage would be unhappy, and in the future they were going to retire and return the land to make a living for their descendants, so they sent the servants to buy some properties in Suzhou and Hangzhou. This time, His Royal Highness sent people to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas With the funds and supplies, the veteran’s property was also severely damaged. Fortunately, the servants are loyal and sensitive, and these are all chased by the servants.”

When Zhao Xiyan heard this, it's no wonder that Xinyihou has been able to survive until today without being eradicated by his father and has not yet been deposed. This is due to some means.It really is an old fox who speaks so beautifully to cover up the serious crime of raising the dead guards privately, and put the whole blame on his father's meanness and lack of kindness.Now showing loyalty with such an important thing, it really is a scheming plan.Zhao Xiyan is not a fool, even though the old fox said nicely, he still remembered that the old fox was dissatisfied with his father, and he joined him because he didn't want to really report his old age and return home.Zhao Xiyan didn't care too much, the more such people dare to use it, the easier it is to use it.If you win the world first, then you can sit firmly in the future, how to deal with it is not a matter of his words.

"Xinyi Hou, this is a great help to this king. I really don't know how to thank you."

"My lord is so honored, it is an honor for me to be able to do my best for my lord."

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, I think we should stop waiting for the prince to make a move. We should take the initiative and seize the initiative. We are always waiting for the prince to attack. We are very passive."

"What Su Xiang said is true. With the things that Mr. Xinyi sent, this king and Ms. Yan will make some more plans. I will preemptively strike in a few days, and I want to see those old cabbage gangsters in the hall. This king is not at the mercy of the crown prince." .”

Zhao Xiyan chatted with them for a long time before sending them away.Only Zhao Xiyan and Yan Fengjun were left in the room again, Zhao Xiyan stood by the window, deep in thought.Yan Fengjun watched from behind, also thinking.The things in the hand cannot be taken out of the hands of Duan Wangdang, and getting out of Duan Wangdang's hands is tantamount to self-inflicted.At that time, the prince's party will beat him up, saying that it was the king of Duan who framed him, so what can he do?Even if it doesn't work, it can drag on for a while.Zhao Xiyan was thinking about who would be loyal to him, who had nothing to do with him on the surface, and was closely related to this case?Zhao Xiyan thought about it, and Yan Fengjun thought about it too, but they were just afraid that he wouldn't want to get involved.Sure enough, Zhao Xiyan and Yan Fengjun met each other's eyes, and they understood who the other was thinking.
