Chapter 149 The Last Step

Qin Zhaoyue clutched her stomach, a look of pain on her face. "No, no, I can't take it anymore."

Just now, she suddenly fell ill.

I don’t know if it was because of the unfamiliar climate or because he had a stomach upset, but he suggested going home immediately.

Sui Mo was extremely anxious. "Your Highness, we are about to enter the palace. It is not appropriate to leave now."

"Then it's appropriate for me to poop in public during the Queen Mother's banquet?"

Broken Ink: ...

This reason is too strong and I can't find any angle to refute it.

After thinking for a few breaths, Sui Mo immediately sent someone forward to deliver the message, and at the same time gritted his teeth and gave the order to change route.

The people lining the streets to welcome them were so enthusiastic that the procession moved very slowly.

Sui Mo thought about returning to the princess's mansion through another route first. Once the Sixth Prince had resolved his physiological problems, he should still be able to catch up.

The carriage changed its route and immediately sped up.

The Mo Group led the way, avoiding congestion and having a smooth journey.

The princess's mansion naturally knew that the disaster relief team was entering the city today, and Tao Yao, who had returned early, arranged for the house to be cleaned inside and out.

As soon as the relief team entered the city, the princess's residence received the news.

Even though they knew that the Sixth Princess was going to the palace and would not be back soon, the two head maids Taoyao and Yingnuo were still guarding the gatehouse.

Then they saw the Mo Group leading the way and the speeding carriage.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Qin Zhaoyue, who was supported by Sui Mo and looked in pain, the two rushed out, "Your Highness, what happened to you?"

Qin Zhaoyue frowned and said, "Let's go into the house quickly. I'm about to zip up my trouser pockets."

After a flurry of activity, Sui Mo and Mo Er ignored everything and held her on both sides, lifting her up and using their true energy to continue on their journey.

Pass through the front yard and the ceremonial gate, and go straight into the three-story main hall area, as fast as lightning!

"Help me sit down..."

Sui Mo's face was filled with suspicion. If he had a stomachache, he would have a stomachache. Why was he so weak now?

Besides, shouldn't you be going to the bathroom at this time? Why are you sitting down?

"Your Highness, you are not pretending to be sick?"

Qin Zhaoyue slumped over the desk and ignored him.

Taoyao and Yingnuo ran after him, and finally ran into the main hall, already out of breath.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you..."

"Quick..." Qin Zhaoyue stretched out his arms weakly, "Quick, call in a male model..."

"This servant will call the court physician... hm?"

The two maids were stunned on the spot. What male model?

Qin Zhaoyue was still calling out, "Male Bodhisattva, please call in the male Bodhisattva..."

More than two months later, they heard this word from the Sixth Princess again and finally understood what she wanted.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became weird.

Sui Mo narrowed his eyes, his expression unfriendly, "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand impatiently, "Why would I join in the fun in front of all the civil and military officials? I can't stand all that red tape."

Is this a matter of formalities? Of course not, she is not so rebellious.

In addition to rewarding the disaster relief team today, the most important thing is to commend their merits.

There is no need to say much about the eldest sister's contribution, and everyone will think of the upcoming battle for the throne.

His contributions are so great and outstanding that he surpasses all the other royal heirs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is far ahead of the others at this stage.

Moreover, after this experience, the eldest sister's shortcomings in government affairs have been largely made up, and coupled with the test specially set for her by the Queen Mother...

One can imagine what the situation is like today.

Apart from anything else, her second brother would not allow her elder sister to become so powerful. It is possible that today the undercurrent will turn into a sword fight.

Qin Zhaoyue refused to get involved no matter what.

What she was most worried about was her old mother. From the case of counterfeiting coins, it was clear that she was a sinister... and cunning person.

You never know what he will do to protect his elder sister, such as giving some of the credit to someone else.

She did not do nothing when she lived in Prince Rui's manor. She would occasionally try to figure out what her mother, the queen, was doing.

Is the advice given in the Imperial Study before leaving Beijing really that important? Qin Zhaoyue didn't think so.

With the incident of minting counterfeit coins as a starting point, she didn't believe that her mother really had no way to make money.

Since this suggestion was not that important, why was there an imperial decree allowing her to take charge of disaster relief affairs?

Let’s put it this way, although Qin Zhaoyue was not very willing to take on this responsibility at the beginning, he was still somewhat secretly happy about it.

Being entrusted with an important task by the Empress, shouldn't you be proud and stand with your hands on your hips?

Later, Qin Zhaoyue thought carefully and gradually figured out some of the Queen Mother's thoughts.

Judging from another imperial edict, the more private matters the eldest sister handles, the greater the power she is given.

After all, she still favors her eldest sister.

This is normal. After all, one is a child who has been favored for many years, and the other is a notorious person who rarely has a flash of inspiration.

The battle for the throne is imminent, what is the significance of the imperial edict?

Qin Zhaoyue thought of two things: one was the whetstone, and the other was the pretext of sharing the pressure.

The eldest sister may be qualified for the position of crown prince, but she is still far from the throne.

Giving yourself some credit and standing up for yourself can help to temper your elder sister to some extent.

If he can show some ability, he might be able to help support his elder sister in the future.

The second point is easy to understand. Qin Zhaoyue didn't watch those palace dramas in vain.

If she were an empress, she would have been more ruthless and would have praised her contribution to disaster relief, even surpassing her elder sister.

His status was suddenly elevated, and he became the "new noble" among the royal heirs.

Qin Zhaoyue still lacked understanding of her mother, the queen, and didn't know how things would develop.

She might as well go against the routine.

If you don't attend the celebration party, then the effect of commending your achievements will be greatly reduced if you are not there.

Who knows how many people in her house have ears to tell her what to do? It's inevitable that her actions will reach the ears of those who are interested.

Not to mention others, the Queen Mother will definitely know.

He had just returned to Beijing, but he didn't even enter the palace. Instead, he rushed back to the princess's mansion and indulged in extravagance and debauchery. Such absurd behavior could not be suppressed by any merit.

So Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand and said, "Quick, invite the singer and serve good wine and food!"

"Your Highness!"

Sui Mo didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind. She just felt that the Sixth Prince had made great contributions in this trip.

Even if I was lazy and didn't do anything during the last few days, it cannot erase my previous contributions.

This was clearly a perfect opportunity to restore the reputation and image. He had taken ninety-nine steps, but he failed at the last step. Why?

Qin Zhaoyue ignored her and looked at the little maidservant in the hall. "What's the matter? Now that we are in the Princess's Mansion, my words don't count, right?"

Taoyao and Yingnuo came back to their senses and dared not respond. They bowed hurriedly and went down to make arrangements.

"Your Highness, there's still time to enter the palace."

Qin Zhaoyue knocked his arm on the table, dragged his head, and scratched his ears.

"I've said it over and over again, are you tired of it? Go if you want, but I'm not going anyway."

Sui Mo was furious, his small chest heaving rapidly, and evil thoughts arose in his mind.

Or should we just send him to the palace as we did before?

While they were hesitating, Taoyao and the others had already prepared everything.

The kitchen knew that the princess was returning home, so they prepared a lot of ingredients early.

Various desserts and iced drinks were served first, and the actors and musicians employed by the mansion came on stage one after another.

After being apart for more than two months, they all tried their best to please their master.

Soon, Qin Zhaoyue leaned over with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Sister, what... should we do? Should we return to the palace to report on our work?"

Sui Mo still didn't understand the Sixth Prince's intention.

After being by her side for a long time, I naturally know that she will not confuse the important things.

After gritting his teeth, he said, "You guys stay here to guard His Highness. I'll go into the palace first!"
