Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Arouse Suspicion
Everyone analyzed it carefully. Qi Chengfeng no longer said “Royal Father”. Instead, he said “Emperor”. Everyone guessed that Qi Chengfeng wanted beauty instead of royal status!

The situation became tense. Qi Sheng left in a low voice. The nearby justice said, “Third Prince, please move.”

Qi Chengfeng nodded and walked over. Su Wanwan stayed where she was. The women looked at Su Wanwan with strange expressions, and their expressions weren’t as excited as when they had just flattered Su Wanwan.

Everyone was thinking about how the Emperor would speak to Qi Chengfeng, but Xu Su sobbed, “Thank you, Your Majesty. If I marry the Third Prince in the future, I will definitely treat the Emperor with all my filial piety.”

“Heh.” Hearing these hypocritical words, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Everyone immediately glared at Su Wanwan, feeling that she didn’t know how to behave. However, Su Wanwan seemed to be very comfortable as if she couldn’t see them.

Su Wanwan sat on a stone stool and looked at the upper of her shoes. However, her ears were focused on listening somewhere, and she could vaguely hear Qi Sheng’s furious voice.

At this time, Qi Chengfeng said angrily, “I will marry whoever I want you to marry! I am your father!”

“This life is mine, this body is mine, I can marry whoever I want!” Qi Chengfeng replied coldly, a trace of disdain in his eyes. “If you don’t recognize me, I don’t mind. At most, I won’t be your son!”

“It’s fine if you don’t do it! I’ll pretend that I don’t have a son like you!” Qi Sheng coughed violently as he spoke.

“You think I want a father like you?” Qi Chengfeng laughed mockingly, “Do you know how this history book writes about you? Do you know what future generations will think of you? Beautiful unconscious monarchs? Are you fascinated by the old woman who used illusions for a while to abandon the government?” Qi Chengfeng said indifferently. He lowered his eyes and turned the jade ring in his other hand. “Have you been in power for a long time? Has the treasury ever been full? Even you have to rely on the Zhao Clan and the others for disaster relief! What reason do you have to look down on the Zhao Clan?”

Hearing this, Qi Sheng felt as if he had been shot in the heart. He looked at Qi Chengfeng and was speechless.

What Qi Chengfeng said was the truth!

“As the emperor, can you not interfere in the affairs of other people’s sons and daughters? If you are so idle, why don’t you go see how to govern the country?” Qi Chengfeng said another word, then flung his sleeve and left.

The Emperor did not stop him and was stunned. Thinking back to yesterday, after Su Wanwan and the others left, General Xu suddenly said that there was no grain in the frontier that needed to be replenished. There was no grain in the frontier, and there was no silver in the treasury. In the end, he was wrong!

When the eunuch saw the Emperor rubbing his eyebrows, he immediately stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, be careful of the Third Prince! He just said these words in disrespect of you! I wonder if he has the intention to usurp the throne …”

“Shut up!” The emperor stopped the eunuch and said, “There are some things you can’t talk nonsense about.”

That was what he said, but the Emperor became suspicious of Qi Chengfeng.

When Qi Chengfeng walked out, the women who had been discussing immediately fell silent. Xu Suyi admitted defeat for Qi Chengfeng, and a faint smile appeared on her face again. She was about to step forward to greet him, but Qi Chengfeng ignored her.

Qi Chengfeng actually walked straight to Su Wanwan and said, “Have you been sitting for a long time? Are you tired?”

“Yes.” Su Wanwan nodded, “Not only are you tired, this palace is also very boring.”

“Oh?” After saying that, Qi Chengfeng suddenly picked Su Wanwan up and said, “Since you’re tired, I’ll carry you home.”

Under everyone’s incredulous eyes, the two of them left. Madam Zhao yawned and said to everyone, “Although our Zhao Clan is a merchant clan, they only have countless stinky money. It’s really annoying to look at the pile of money every day! I’m so happy to meet you all today. Come to my Zhao Clan if you have anything to do in the future.”

Madam Zhao left after she finished speaking. Everyone immediately said, “Madam Zhao’s words are really irritating!”

“That’s right! It’s exactly the same as her daughter!”

“It’s exactly the same as her son-in-law!”

“…”

As the crowd spoke, Xu Su remembered that the three of them were “not a family that didn’t enter a house.” She was instantly enraged, and then she picked up the pastry and crushed it on the stone table.

Xu Su watched the three of them leave with resentment, but she was helpless. She could only whisper to Imperial Concubine Li, “Imperial Concubine Li, you must help me!”

“Naturally.” Imperial Concubine Li answered, but a trace of worry appeared on her face.

At this time, Qi Chengfeng and the others left the palace. Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng were in the same carriage. Zhao shi did not care if their reputation would be damaged, so she followed the two of them and returned to the Zhao Manor.

Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan went to the teahouse on East Street and raised their hands to gently shake the tea. “I’ve found some clues about Su Qingqing. It has something to do with the Xu Clan. As for who it is, it’s still unknown.”

The more Su Wanwan thought about it, the stranger she felt. “They wanted to ruin my reputation and bestow marriage on me. This is clearly something the Xu Clan had planned for a long time ago. What do you think?”

Qi Chengfeng shook his head. “I’m afraid this matter is not as simple as it is against you. I found out that someone let Su Qingqing make trouble before your rematch that day. I didn’t expect you to sell things first. After Su Qingqing appeared, they questioned more about merchants’ reputation and other things. I think their goal should be the Zhao Clan’s wealth.”

“Huh?” Su Wanwan was puzzled. What did the Xu Clan want the Zhao Clan’s wealth for? Lack of money? Looking at Xu Su and the others, they didn’t look like them either.

Su Wanwan suddenly came up with a strange method and said, “If General Xu were to nurture soldiers for other people’s use, would the Emperor know?”

“With how unconscious he is now, he definitely doesn’t know.” As Qi Chengfeng spoke, he shook his head. He thought of his original intention to flee the palace and said, “Let’s leave the capital when the servants I have instructed have settled the matter with Qi Bei.”

“Alright.” Su Wanwan nodded. She was also a little tired of the tricks in the capital. She picked up the tea on the table and drank it. The two of them stayed in the teahouse for a long time. Suddenly, the housekeeper of the Third Prince’s Mansion ran over. “Your Highness, I heard that someone in our mansion saw a demon. It’s … Imperial Consort!” Imperial Concubine Huang came to ask for your life! “Miss Xu came to the Third Prince’s Mansion to search for her soul when she heard about this, but she was accidentally slandered. She is now lying in a pool of blood. You should hurry back and take a look!”

Imperial Consort’s soul? Su Wanwan sneered. Other people didn’t know, but did she know that souls were fake?

And why did this suddenly happen? Xu Su wanted to act like this to make Qi Chengfeng’s heart ache? Su Wanwan couldn’t help but find it funny. She smiled at Qi Chengfeng and said, “Third Prince, let’s go and see what tricks she wants to play.”

“Yes.” Qi Chengfeng answered and took Su Wanwan’s hand and went out. However, someone rushed in and stopped Su Wanwan, “Young miss! You can’t go! Something happened to our Zhao Manor!”

Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng exchanged a glance. They couldn’t help but wonder why the Zhao Manor and the Third Prince’s Manor were in trouble at the same time.

What exactly did the person behind the scenes want to do!
