Zhan Changshi's eyes fell on the big tree outside the window. Seeing a few squirrels jumping up and down on it, he pursed his lips and said lightly: "Your Highness, the timing is wrong."
The evidence that the Xu family and Shao Wenxun were planning to use to frame the Su family for collusion with the Japanese is now in the hands of the Su family.
The Su family might be able to figure out a lot of things from that. They are already in a passive position now, and Emperor Yuanfeng's attitude is already very clear. If they target the Su family at this time, they will only be asking for trouble.
As someone else's think tank, Zhan Changshi certainly couldn't let King Zhuang make such a mistake.
He coughed and reminded Prince Zhuang: "Your Highness, the most urgent task now is not to bear grudges, nor to deal with the Su and He families. Just remember their affairs. Besides, they acted so ostentatiously this time, and it is not just you who is being insulted. Not to mention the people far away, Princess Chun'an alone will not be able to swallow this breath."
In that case, why should we continue to pursue these two companies
"The key now is Song Heng's background." Zhan Changshi brought up this issue again, looking at King Zhuang with sharp eyes: "Why not just find a way to expose his background."
What?!
King Zhuang's heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the cup suddenly trembled. After a long while, he finally suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Zhan Changshi and slowly narrowed his eyes: "Are you crazy?!"
There's not even enough time to cover it up, and now they're taking the initiative to expose Song Heng's background
Wouldn't that be a great help to Song Heng
Knowing Prince Zhuang's doubts, Zhan Changshi stroked his beard and was not in a hurry: "Your Highness, although the prince is now wronged, it is almost a foregone conclusion, but did the Song family know that the prince was wronged at the beginning? Even if they knew that the prince was wronged, why didn't they confess everything to the emperor when they rescued Song Heng? Do they not trust the emperor?"
King Zhuang opened his eyes wide and immediately understood what he meant.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with the Song family saving people, but why did the Song family hide Song Heng’s life experience for so many years
Even now, the third prince has committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the Song family has not taken the initiative to expose Song Heng's background. What is the Song family waiting for
"Now is the best time." Zhan Changshi's throat was a little sore. He coughed to clear his throat. When he felt better, he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor does trust the Song family, so in addition to exposing Song Heng's life experience, we need to do something else."
King Zhuang's eyes suddenly brightened, and the haze that had accumulated in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot. He felt a little more relaxed, nodded, and said with interest: "Go on."
In the backyard not far away, Princess Zhuang was absentmindedly rubbing her belly and leaning on a pillow to read a book. Not long after, Ruoxue came in through the curtain and smiled, "Princess, my wife is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Qin walked in quickly. When she saw Princess Zhuang, she couldn't help laughing: "Ah, it's only been half a month since we last met, and your belly has grown a little bigger."
As she spoke, she touched it, sat down beside Princess Zhuang, and asked Princess Zhuang: "How is it, has it been better recently? Is it obedient in there?"
Princess Zhuang's eyes were cold, and her expression did not soften because she asked about the child. She glanced at her belly and said coldly, "It's still the same as before."
Her attitude was too cold. Mrs. Qin withdrew her hand and looked at her worriedly. After hesitating for a while, she gently advised her: "Are you unhappy about something? I'm afraid this will be bad for the child."
The servant came up and handed over the hot tea. Mrs. Qin took it and put it aside. She waved to them. After they all left, Mrs. Qin said softly, "Princess, you are pregnant now. No matter what happens, you should think about the baby in your belly first."
The baby in the belly...
Princess Zhuang let out a sigh and didn't respond.
Noticing that her daughter's mood was very wrong, Mrs. Qin looked at her daughter in shock and fear: "Is there something wrong? For Tian Rui?"
"Tian Rui?" After hearing this name, Princess Zhuang turned around and frowned and asked, "What happened to Tian Rui?"
Seeing that her daughter was finally willing to talk, Mrs. Qin's worries were slightly relieved, and she quickly explained to her: "It's nothing, it's just that Tian Rui... I heard that Concubine Li likes her very much. When she learned that the Ministry of Rites had set the date for her to enter the palace in November, Concubine Li also specially asked the flower room in the palace to cultivate a few pots of famous peonies and send them to her when the time comes."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the curve of Princess Zhuang's mouth, and she snorted.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Mrs. Qin knew that she was unhappy. After thinking for a while, she said, "Don't be afraid. The baby in your belly is the most important thing. As long as the baby is born safely, you will have done a great deed."
Princess Zhuang couldn't listen and thought it was all nonsense.
So what if she gave birth to a child? The baby is precious now, but what about in the future
Doesn’t Tian Rui want to have children
Won’t other concubines be able to give birth to children in the future
How can we ensure which of these children is the most valuable
Just like the former crown prince, who could be more noble than him, but what happened? Didn't he just die
Mrs. Qin noticed that her daughter was in a bad mood. She rubbed her hands nervously and thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything to say to arouse her daughter's interest.
Princess Zhuang didn't pay any attention to her and just stared out the window in a daze.
After a while, Nanny Qin, the chambermaid of Princess Zhuang, came back and greeted Princess Zhuang and Madam Qin first. Then she walked quickly to Princess Zhuang and whispered, "Princess..."
Princess Zhuang raised her eyes and looked at her with a cold look: "Just tell me, what happened?"
Nanny Qin did not dare to hesitate any longer and whispered, "Princess, the people over there have already..."
Princess Zhuang leaned back on the pillow, snorted angrily, and gritted her teeth without saying another word.
Mrs. Qin, who was standing by, noticed something was going on. She hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help herself: "You, did you go there again?" Mrs. Qin was so panicked that she, who always obeyed her daughter, became anxious: "Are you crazy? He just committed suicide out of fear of crime, and you dare to do such a thing? What will you do if someone finds out? Not to mention that it might implicate the prince, and if the prince finds out, it will be even more serious!"
The Third Prince has always been very caring towards Princess Zhuang. The reason why Prince Zhuang was able to successfully take over so much power from the Third Prince was also because Qin Chen gave Princess Zhuang to you.
But men only think about the benefits when they need something, but once they don’t need it anymore, they only think about the disadvantages.
Things have changed, how could King Zhuang be happy to hear that his wife is still involved with the Third Prince
