The prince already knew what he wanted to know, and he was still thinking about dealing with Princess Qinglan, so he nodded and said casually: "Well, that's natural! You're right, it's really not easy for the two of them Yes! I will definitely help them!"
Princess Qinglan couldn't help being overjoyed, and secretly a little proud, thinking that her luck is really great! I didn't expect that meeting the prince today was not a bad thing but a good thing! At first they were still worrying about how to solve this matter, but now that they have a prince, more than half of the problem has been solved!
After all, in front of the emperor and queen, the prince's words are always more effective than theirs, aren't they
"His Royal Highness, thank you so much! You are such a good person, King of the Mountain and Xiaoshu will definitely be grateful to you if they know about it!" Princess Qinglan said happily. He wished he could tell Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi the great news right away.
Of course, it is necessary to brag about her achievements.
When the prince heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and secretly said, "It's dangerous!" If it wasn't for Princess Qinglan's words, he wouldn't have thought of this for a moment, and he was about to say goodbye!
The crown prince then said to Princess Qinglan: "It is not so easy to accomplish this matter. After all, the empress bestows marriages in front of so many wives and young ladies, so you can't just say that you don't count! Where are you going to save face? Well, don't mention this matter to the backer king and Miss Lu, I will naturally tell you when the matter has a clue, and you can tell them when the time comes!"
Princess Qinglan thought for a while, nodded and smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is more thoughtful! Don't worry, if I don't say anything, I definitely won't! It would be nice to give them a surprise when the time comes!"
"Yes, that's it!" The prince smiled, and said seriously: "Also, don't say a word about the things that the lonely king saw you today, and what you said to the lonely king, otherwise, the lonely king will not say a word." Take care of this!"
"Why?" Princess Qinglan was startled, not understanding what the prince meant.
The prince cursed "idiot" in his heart, but explained to her patiently: "Because, after all, it is the queen mother of the lonely king who gave the marriage to you, the princess, and the backing king. How can you let the queen face the queen, and how can you let the queen face?"
"Fortunately, the crown prince reminded me! Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake!" Princess Qinglan took it for granted when she heard this, and broke into a cold sweat secretly, and immediately nodded her head in agreement.
Otherwise, because of his own words, the prince helped the King of the Mountain and Xiaoshu, but hurt his and the queen's reputation, how could he feel sorry
The prince didn't expect Princess Qinglan to be so easy to deceive, so he immediately felt relieved, nodded and said: "It's good that you understand! The lonely king will not be out for a short time, and it's time for the lonely king to go back! Princess, farewell!"
Then he said: "Don't forget what the lonely king said just now, don't say a word about today's affairs to anyone!"
"My daughter respectfully sent the prince off! Don't worry, my prince! My daughter won't say anything!" Princess Qinglan nodded and smiled.
The prince gave a "hmm" and left in a hurry.
Back in the East Palace, the prince thought over all the things in his mind carefully, and made some detailed deliberations and arrangements. He sneered slightly. Next, he should go to Zhou Shizhi to have a good talk. .
Zhou Shizhi's status is special, and now the prince has just done something wrong, so he doesn't dare to send someone to pass him on in an open and honest manner.
However, if you want to meet him, it's not impossible.
Seeing that the crown prince wanted to ask him to meet, Zhou Shizhi was a little surprised, and smiled at Zhou Guang: "He thinks of me! I'm afraid he is in a hurry to go to the doctor!"
It's not even a half point.
Zhou Guang said with a look of contempt: "Your Highness, you really have nothing to say! If you say something presumptuous by this servant, it is more than a success than a failure! Don't say what is right or wrong, why can't you even deal with the third prince? It's really useless to be the prince for so many years... "
The matter of the assassination of the third prince was nothing. Emperor Xiangqing did not issue an order to investigate anything. The third prince himself stayed in the palace to recuperate from his wounds and did not say a single word. If you do it, you will naturally pretend to be deaf and dumb, and no one mentions half a word.
Although, everyone knows it well. But it is precisely because I know it well that I can't say a word even more!
The third prince was assassinated when he was enjoying the spring breeze, who else would do it except the prince? The third prince has lived in seclusion for so many years and has never been on an errand, so he has absolutely no enemies. At least, there will be no enemies who want his life!
Therefore, when everyone heard the news, their first thought was: Prince.
Zhou Shizhi, Zhou Guang and others were no exception.
Zhou Guang's doubts were also the doubts of everyone: how could he not even be able to take down the fledgling third prince with the power of the crown prince? It can be seen that he has been the crown prince for so many years in vain! It is simply useless!
While many people secretly despised the prince, they couldn't help but relax a little bit: at this time, if you speculate and stand in a team, will you bet right in the future? If this is the right bet, then the prosperity and wealth will come rolling in, and you can't stop it...
Of course, there are also those who are honest and straight-eyed. They didn't think too much about it, but just said a few words: The luck of the third prince is really good!
These people don't know, where is it so easy to have good luck in this kind of thing? Except for that one-in-ten-thousandth coincidence, there are other inside stories.
Zhou Shizhi listened to Zhou Guang's contemptuous words, but smiled and said nothing, thinking that if the prince knew that many people had such thoughts, his nose would be crooked-he was really shooting himself in the foot!
And this smashing is simply painful!
Zhou Shizhi naturally knew the inside story, what luck, what is the incompetence of His Highness the Crown Prince! There is a queen behind the third prince. How can it be so easy for His Royal Highness to touch him
It's not that His Royal Highness is incompetent, and it's not that the arrangements are not good enough, but that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind! Fighting with the queen, he is too tender!
He didn't lose to the third prince, but to the queen.
From this point of view, Mr. Bai's analysis can basically be confirmed to be true: as expected, the third prince is the queen's biological son! Thinking about it, it was because of some other reasons that it made the current situation.
Now that the fourth prince has been eliminated, and the emperor is getting old, the empress is of course unwilling to wait any longer, and the prince has been taken advantage of for nothing!
Zhou Shizhi sighed softly, feeling very helpless.
Although he knew this and knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not very reliable, he still had to rely on it for the time being.
Because the third prince likes Xiaoshu, the queen is clearly determined to give Xiaoshu to her son as compensation, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Therefore, he must plan and act before the dust settles.
Then he can only cooperate with the prince.
Zhou Shizhi had already made up his mind, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he would marry Lu Xiaoshu and go far away. He didn't want to stay in the capital for a day.
"My lord, I'll refuse you, my slave!" Seeing that Zhou Shizhi was silent, Zhou Guang said tactfully, and curled his lips to express his disdain.
Such a stupid person, why did he see him
"No, tell the visitor that His Royal Highness has an invitation, how dare I not obey! I will definitely come as scheduled! Go!" Zhou Shiyi raised his eyebrows, but he gave such orders.
"Master, this is... you really want to see the prince?" Zhou Guang opened his eyes wide in confusion.
You must know that according to the information he inquired, many court officials in the capital are beginning to alienate the prince intentionally or unintentionally: for such an unintelligent and impulsive person, too much contact with him is simply a disaster for the upper body! Although the emperor kept quiet, it didn't mean that he didn't care, but he had to do it to save the crown prince's face and the royal family's dignity! Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the crown prince away from the capital when the triennial general election of officials was approaching!
"Hurry up, what are you talking about!" Zhou Shizhi glared at him angrily. This bastard is getting more and more lenient, as if he knows everything!
"Okay, I'll reply to you, my servant!" Zhou Guang retreated resentfully. After thinking about it, I felt that I had figured it out: it's not that the master didn't want to shirk it, but that he couldn't shirk it! No matter what, he is still a certain prince now! If he refuses to see him and angers the narrow-minded prince, who knows what he will do? It's better to deal with it, deal with it first and then talk...
The more Zhou Guang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he couldn't help sighing slightly and shaking his head: It's not easy, sir! I hope that His Royal Highness the prince will not go too far, and don't make it too difficult for the master!
The visitor waited for a long time in the small flower hall, but no one came out to answer, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: The East Palace is not what it used to be, everyone knows it in his heart! In case the backer king just finds a reason to dismiss him and refuse to see him, he has nothing to do.
The visitor's heart skipped a beat, and he became more and more uneasy. He couldn't think of the backer king refusing him, but if he couldn't invite anyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not spare him... Especially His Royal Highness has a good temper in recent days, and if he is not good, he will be punished!
When the visitors were anxious and anxious, Zhou Guang finally showed up.
Where can someone care about other things? Seeing Zhou Guang, he immediately looked at him expectantly with bright eyes, and subconsciously clenched his palms. There was no half of the pride in the past: In the past, which house or house to pass on the crown prince's decree, it was so majestic!
Seeing the visitor's expression, Zhou Guang immediately understood it, and couldn't help but feel more sympathetic to his master, so he smiled at the visitor, nodded politely, and told Zhou Shizhi's answer truthfully.
"That's good! That's good! I'll go back and report to the crown prince! When the time comes, don't forget the king of the mountain!" The visitor was greatly relieved, and the smile on his face increased a little.
