Chapter 229 Sympathy

"You've been turned into this state by them, and you actually say you know how to deal with them?" Prince Shuo looked at Xu Qingyue with a somewhat ridiculous look on his face.

He really admired Xu Qingyue's shamelessness. Even though he had been beaten terribly by the other party, he still had the audacity to say such words.

But Xu Qingyue didn't feel ashamed at all, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, I have a very good way to help you get both the King of Qin and the Duke of Ying's Mansion down."

"Oh! Really? Tell me about it." Prince Shuo sat down leisurely and looked at Xu Qingyue jokingly.

He wanted to see what other options this woman had. Xu Qingyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Prince Shuo had given her a chance.

Then he looked at Prince Shuo seriously and slowly said his analysis: "Your Highness, now, Prince Yu and the Sixth Prince have been abandoned by the Emperor, and there is almost no hope of winning the throne. The Emperor does not have many children, so the prince who is still learning to speak should not be taken seriously. Now, only the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are competing, but the reputation of the Crown Prince is such that everyone knows that he cannot inherit the country, so everyone has determined that it is the King of Qin. But Your Highness, don't forget that even if the Crown Prince is no longer promising, as long as he is not abolished, he is the nominal crown prince. What if the King of Qin can't wait and kills the Crown Prince at this time? Do you think the King of Qin still has a chance to inherit the country? Will the Emperor still trust the King of Qin? By then, there will be chaos in the court, the Emperor will be ill, and the other princes will be young. You are the only royal family who can take charge. At that time, can't you hold the emperor hostage to command the princes? When the government gradually stabilizes, the young emperor will die suddenly again. Who else can inherit the country of Daxia?"

Prince Shuo listened indifferently at first, but the more he listened, the tighter his brows frowned. He had to admit that he was indeed moved by Xu Qingyue's words. He also had to admit that what she said made sense. It was indeed a very good method to frame the King of Qin and kill the Crown Prince!

So, Prince Shuo smiled at Xu Qingyue and said, "What you said makes some sense. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. It seems that you are indeed not useless."

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment! As long as Your Highness is willing to take me in, Qingyue will naturally be willing to give you advice. This time, it was because Qingyue's whereabouts were monitored by Xu Qingyan and the others that they were able to catch me. Now that I have come to the palace, I believe they will not be able to monitor me. In the future, I will do my best to serve Your Highness." Xu Qingyue was delighted, humble and polite, but she did not forget to make excuses for her failure. If she had not been secretly monitored by Xu Qingyan and the others, she would not have ended up like this.

Prince Shuo's eyes moved slightly, thinking about Xu Qingyue's words, and felt that there was some truth in them. Indeed, she was a concubine living in the Duke of England's mansion, and it was easy for Xu Qingyan and others to monitor her. Xu Qingyue was still a smart person.

If used well, it would be helpful to him. Moreover, now that he was caught in a scandal, he had to establish his reputation as a lustful person, otherwise he might arouse the emperor's fear and suspicion. Therefore, Prince Shuo changed his attitude towards Xu Qingyue, sent her a few maids, let her live in his backyard, and gave her the honor of a concubine.

Xu Qingyue was brought to the backyard of Prince Shuo's Mansion. Seeing the courtyard which was even more luxurious and spacious than the one in the Duke's Mansion, she instantly felt proud.

Although she lost all face this time, it was not too miserable after all. Who could have thought that she could survive and transform herself from a concubine in the Duke's Mansion into a concubine in the Prince's Palace?

If in the future, the King of Qin and his men died, and Prince Shuo took control of Daxia and ascended the throne, she could become at least a concubine, not to mention the queen. Moreover, she believed in her wisdom. If she could fool Prince Shuo today, she would definitely be able to do it in the future.

After all, she still had to thank Xu Qingyan and the others for all this! However, even though she said this, she still had the idea of ​​stepping on Xu Qingyan and humiliating her in the future.

"Empress, please come in with us and change your clothes first!" Just as Xu Qingyue was proudly fantasizing about the beautiful future, a gentle female voice interrupted her.

Xu Qingyue turned her head and saw seven or eight maids standing beside her, and the maid who was talking was standing in the middle, with a pretty and clean face. The maid's eyes were like autumn water, and there seemed to be some sympathy in her eyes when she looked at her.

After realizing this feeling, Xu Qingyue couldn't help but get angry. A lowly maid actually dared to look at her with such sympathy! "Pa!" Xu Qingyue walked in front of the maid and suddenly raised her hand and slapped her in the face.

"Bitch, put away your coquettish look. I am a woman, not a man, and I will not be seduced by you!" Xu Qingyue said angrily.

"Your Majesty...you...you misunderstood." The maid covered her cheek in shock and explained fearfully.

"Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, I know it in my heart! You are just a lowly servant, so just serve me well and don't think about anything else!" Xu Qingyue sneered.

Not only did she hate the way the maid looked at her, she also hated her appearance. After all, she was the prettiest among all the maids. Being a woman with natural sensitivity, she was very wary of this maid. What if she was favored by Prince Shuo in the future?

The maid felt very aggrieved, but she did not dare to go against Xu Qingyue, so she could only nod her head and admit her mistake.

Since something had just happened recently, Prince Shuo planned to wait until the storm was over before taking action against the crown prince. He also needed to find an opportunity with the right time, place and people.

Recently, he needed to create an appearance of being blinded by lust to the outside world. Therefore, Xu Qingyue's life in Prince Shuo's mansion was relatively smooth. In order to show off, Xu Qingyue often went shopping with her maid in the name of Prince Shuo's concubine.

On this day, Xu Qingyue swaggered into the most famous rouge shop in the capital, and ran into several noble ladies as soon as she entered the door. Xu Qingyue thought that these noble ladies would come over to greet her and curry favor with her, but who knew that those noble ladies just looked at her with disdain, turned around and talked about her behind her back.

"Xu Qingyue's beauty is just so-so, especially recently her face has become more and more sarcastic. It is said that Prince Shuo is blinded by lust and is willing to break up with the Duke of Ying for her. But can such beauty really fascinate a man like that? I have seen Prince Shuo's previous wife, she is much more beautiful than her."

"Yes! I am also puzzled. Xu Qingyue's family background is not high, and she used to have a good reputation. I thought it was the limit for her to marry a bastard of a duke's mansion. Who would have thought that she could become the concubine of Prince Shuo now!"

"You said that Prince Shuo's preferences are really unique! He doesn't like so many beautiful girls, but he prefers married women! Oh... no... it should be called concubines."

Several women were talking in low voices, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
