Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 369
Chapter 369 Probe One’s Mind
“Yes.” The father-in-law answered and immediately went outside to give orders.
Qi Sheng was depressed when he suddenly heard a tall man rushing over from outside. The eunuch immediately bowed and said, “Your Highness the Second Prince is in good health.”
“Yes.” Qi Delong answered without even looking. He went straight into the room and said, “Father, this is bad! The outside world is spreading madness! These are all rumors that are not good for you!”
What kind of rumors could he have? Qi Sheng frowned and said, “What did you say about me?”
“Outside” Qi Delong thought for a moment, his brows knitted tightly as he said, “Your son should stop talking.”
“Your advice is unpleasant to the ear, but it doesn’t matter if you say it.” Qi Sheng said this, but his heart was very nervous.
“That’s what the minister said.” Qi Delong said, “There are rumors everywhere in the capital that you … indiscriminately wanted to capture Third Brother and his wife. You even said that you sent those assassins. You even said that you wanted to kill the Third Prince because you were afraid that the Third Prince would not support your throne …”
“What!” Qi Sheng suddenly raised his hand and slapped the corner of the table. Suddenly, a “cracking” sound came from his hand. Knowing that it was the sound of bones breaking, the expression on Qi Sheng’s face was as uncomfortable as a fly’s throat. He originally wanted to use what happened in the Third Prince’s Mansion to create public opinion to make Qi Chengfeng voluntarily “admit guilt”. He never thought that this public opinion would be so fast! Moreover, the mastermind of public opinion was still the king of this country!
Although those words were just rumors, they were all heartbreaking! It was as if it was either a rumor or a fact!
“Royal father, you are the ruler of a country. We should support you as princes! Your heirs are weak, but only my third brother and I are two males. The eldest princess has married far away, yet my third brother is still so ignorant!” Qi Delong frowned unconsciously as he spoke, as if he was worried.
Qi Sheng felt a little comforted in his heart. He sighed and said, “Fortunately, I still have a good prince like you! How could I be like that bastard!”
As he spoke, Qi Sheng clapped his hands again, but his hands suddenly hurt. Qi Delong immediately helped the Propaganda Doctor. Qi Sheng felt relieved again. He wanted to dismiss Qi Delong to rest for a while, but Qi Delong did not intend to leave. Instead, he took out something and said, “Father, look.”
“What is this?” Qi Sheng took the letter and was stunned when he saw the contents. The smile on his face immediately froze and he gritted his teeth and said, “Qi Chengfeng!”
The words on the letter were written by Qi Chengfeng in collusion with the Yan Kingdom. The purpose of the letter was to seize the throne!
Previously, he had read Shi Chengshun’s writings and also had dealings with the Yan Kingdom. Now, when he saw that the Yan Kingdom was about to move, Qi Sheng became a little flustered. He also thought of Qi Chengfeng’s reputation in the capital. If anything happened to him, Qi Chengfeng would definitely be supported by everyone!
“No!” Qi Sheng gritted his teeth and stood up. He looked at Qi Delong and said meaningfully, “Huang’er, do you want the throne?”
“Who doesn’t want the throne! How many people in the world are fighting to the death for this position!” When Qi Delong said those words, he clearly saw a trace of displeasure flash through Qi Sheng’s eyes. He added, “Father Emperor, your son is different. Your son is your son! Your father’s health is the most important thing for your son.”
“I have given birth to so many sons. You are the only one who is most considerate.” Qi Sheng sighed and looked straight at Qi Delong, saying, “Today’s situation is not what I want to see. You …”
“Father Emperor, don’t say anything else. Third Brother’s actions are too outrageous. Your son will teach Third Brother a lesson on behalf of Father Emperor!” Qi Delong swore.
“Yes.” This son was also very elegant! Qi Sheng was very satisfied, but he was still stubborn about the throne. Since he was still alive, why would he give the throne to someone else? Qi Sheng was a little happy that Qi Delong did not covet the throne. Although she wanted to give him the throne, she said, “I only have two sons. Go teach Qi Chengfeng a lesson for me. The throne is yours.”
“Royal father, the throne is not important. It’s good that you share your worries.” Qi Delong knelt down and kowtowed heavily on the ground. There was a hint of action to prove his innocence, but the corners of Qi Sheng’s lips, which he could not see, curled up as he lowered his head.
At this time, Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng, who were at the Yan Country Relay Station, did not know that they had been plotted against and were still sitting drinking tea. The group of people ate very calmly.
Su Wanwan smiled and said to Qi Chengfeng, “Husband, we are in such a hurry today. How can we go out to prove our innocence? Who do you think that person is?”
Just as Qi Chengfeng was about to say something, he suddenly saw a head sticking out of the door and said, “Don’t talk nonsense about this matter. Don’t talk about it.”
As he spoke, Qi Chengfeng used his hand to touch the tea and wrote the word “two” on the table. Isn’t it the Second Prince?
Su Wanwan nodded and said, “I am a woman, so I shouldn’t discuss it.”
“It’s good to know.” Qi Chengfeng nodded.
Su Wanwan had her back to the door and was also stained with tea. However, Qi Chengfeng suddenly picked up the tea and poured it on the table. She blamed, “You should be careful when drinking tea. It’s very inappropriate to spill it on the table.”
“Oh, where are the Third Prince and Third Princess?” A eunuch walked over and smiled as he looked at the tea on the table.
The eunuch clearly came to look for them on purpose, but he pretended to be coincidental! The couple glanced at him and ignored him. They only called the maids to clean the table and then laughed back and forth about the interesting events that had happened in the capital recently.
The eunuch stood at the side, his originally dry smile on his face hurting. He coughed and said, “Third Prince, Third Princess, the Emperor invites the two of you to come into the palace to meet the Empress and talk about the Empress’s birthday seven days from now.”
“…”
The Emperor had never paid much attention to Zhao Ziyan. The palace where Zhao Ziyan lived was like a cold palace. It was very abnormal for the Emperor to suddenly bring this up.
This matter was more abnormal than having a demon!
Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan exchanged glances. Qi Chengfeng said, “Do you want to enter the palace?”
“Isn’t it unfilial if we don’t enter the palace? After all … you are the son of the Empress!” As Su Wanwan spoke, the eunuch seemed to glance at it indifferently, as if he took the matter seriously.
The eunuch immediately retreated and said, “Third Princess and Third Prince, please go to the Imperial Palace to discuss with the Empress at noon. Taking advantage of this, the Emperor would like to get closer to the two of you and enjoy the warmth of their family background.”
“Alright, I know. We will go.” Su Wanwan nodded.
The eunuch left excitedly. Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng also got up and prepared to leave. Before they left, they specially told Beichuan Fengliu and Zhu Yuetuo to take care of Madam Zhao and went.
Qi Sheng, who was waiting for the letter in the palace, was overjoyed to hear that they had agreed to come. He asked, “Have you arranged everything? I must see that the two of them are ruined! If anything goes wrong, I want your head!”
