The Fourth Prince picked up the booklet and was shocked to find that there were thousands of people in the Marquis Xuanwu's Mansion!
He looked at his staff in disbelief: "There are so many people in Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion?"
The staff nodded: "This is just the Qin family, not counting the in-laws, the clan members who have branched out, and even the servants and private soldiers in the family."
The Marquis' Mansion has a quota of private soldiers. The Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion is the home of a military general, and the number of private soldiers is one hundred.
Unfortunately, the Xuanwu Marquisate has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation of the Marquis has a hundred private soldiers. No one knows where the private soldiers who retired before have gone. So...
The Fourth Prince took a deep breath and said, "No wonder Father has always been wary of the Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion. Even after Xuanwu Marquis retired, he still pressured Master Qin not to appoint a crown prince."
Why is the emperor not afraid of other generals?
They have a small population, and their families have been loyal for generations. If they had any children, they would have been sent to the battlefield. Those who are still alive now are the only ones who have crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. A single tree cannot support itself, so what is there to be afraid of?
The Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion seemed far away from the imperial court, but the Fourth Prince knew that whenever there was a crisis in the Great Zhou, any member of the Qin family would be a force to be reckoned with.
The Fourth Prince's voice was dry. "If I had known that the Xuanwu Marquisate was so powerful, what would it matter if Qin Wan was married off for the second time? I would have taken her in and promised her the position of Empress in the future. When I ascend the throne, I will have the final say."
The staff's eyes flickered slightly: "It's too late now. It's all because we haven't had much contact with the Qin family."
"It's pointless to say this now. The wedding is tomorrow." The Fourth Prince sighed, "No matter what I do now, I can't stop this marriage."
The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion was like an iron barrel, and it was impossible to find someone to kidnap Qin Wan at night.
The Fourth Prince waved his hand and told everyone to go back, but the thought of stopping the marriage was already in his head and he couldn't suppress it.
In the palace.
Xie Qing bowed deeply to Qin Can and said, "I'm sorry for causing you to be wronged."
"Your Highness, why do you say that?" Qin Can quickly dodged, "Survival in this deep palace is not easy, and it's not easy for Your Highness either."
Xie Qing felt guilty and said, "Let's just let it go. I'm powerless to fight for justice for my brother."
Qin Can laughed: "Your Highness also said that it was openly stated. We, the Qin family, value friendship and practical benefits. Reputation and the like are not important."
Xie Qing bowed and then took Qin Can to eat.
Qin Can did not mention anything about the affairs in the East Palace's harem in front of his brothers. He knew that this was the only way things could be. If no evidence was found, these two people would be killed by the people behind the scenes without waiting for interrogation, leaving only a disgusting thing.
Since it's disgusting, why not disgust the person behind the scenes instead of disgusting yourself?
It would be more satisfying to kill someone.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
Qin Can was happy after drinking, so Xie Qing let him go home.
As soon as he entered the Qin family's gate, Qin Can, who was originally drunk and distracted and was being held by someone, immediately regained his composure. He shook off the person holding him and asked, "Where are my grandfather and father?"
"Busy in the hall." The butler replied.
Qin Can turned around and went to his own yard: "Tell grandpa and father that I'm going to wash up and wait for them in the study. Oh, and ask my sister to come too."
The housekeeper looked at Qin Yan in confusion: "Second Young Master, what's wrong with the eldest young master..."
Although Qin Yan was in the East Palace, he didn't go to the backyard. He had no idea what was going on. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go find my grandfather. You guys get busy."
Qin Yan went to Qin Zhan and told him about Qin Can being taken away: "After returning, although the prince and eldest brother did not look strange, I felt something was wrong. Now that eldest brother has come back pretending to be drunk, please go to the study to talk with grandfather, father, and sister."
Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Let's go now."
Qin Sheng said to Qin Yan again: "Go find Wanwan."
Qin Wan entered the study, and Qin Zhan said to Qin Can, "You can tell me now."
Qin Can then told them what happened in the East Palace. Seeing their expressions becoming increasingly serious, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Fortunately, the Crown Prince has always been on our side."
Qin Wan frowned: "Have you ever guessed who set up this scheme?"
Qin Can shook his head: "I think the prince has a plan in mind."
Qin Zhan paced back and forth in the room angrily: "Do you have any idea? This palace is already a den of wolves and tigers, and now this kind of thing has happened! They are deliberately trying to make things difficult for us!"
Qin Wan tapped her fingertips on the table a few times, looked at Qin Can and asked a few more questions. After receiving affirmative answers, she smiled with relief, "Don't worry, Grandfather. The person behind the scenes seems to have lost her composure. Since she wants to destroy the relationship between our Qin family and the Crown Prince, she will definitely make further moves. We should just wait and see."
"Just wait and see means do nothing?" Qin Zhan was restless. Whenever he thought of his precious granddaughter entering such a dangerous place, he became upset.
Qin Wan said thoughtfully, "If Grandfather is worried, then we should strengthen the guards of our mansion, and everyone should be careful when entering and leaving in the near future."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Wan planned to have her clan members consolidate their businesses. She carefully chose her words, "Now that I'm the Crown Princess, there are many people eyeing our family covetously. Everyone should think twice before doing anything. If anything suspicious happens in business or life in the future, you must not act rashly, and don't act recklessly based on your own abilities."
As a member of the Qin family, he has learned a lot of skills since childhood. In addition, with the status of a marquis, although he is not very useful in official circles, when doing business, the marquis's mansion is their greatest confidence.
In the previous life, the Qin family died because of their own confidence. They underestimated their opponents and underestimated human nature.
Seeing Qin Wan's serious expression, Qin Zhan nodded solemnly: "I will tell the clan members, and ask them to tell the in-laws to be careful when they go out."
Qin Wan gave a few more instructions, especially to the few people who had been in trouble first in the previous life. She simply asked Qin Zhan to detain them: "The situation is not good now, so it is important for them to hold on. If there is any loss in business, I will make it up to them."
Qin Zhan waved his hand: "What's there to make up for? We are all family. We prosper together and suffer together. When you have established a firm foothold in the East Palace in the future, will they still be worried about not being able to make money? Don't worry about these things. I will tell them."
"That's good. I'll go back and rest first." Qin Wan stood up, bowed, and said goodbye before returning to her room.
Although it was a rest, how could Qin Wan really rest? She and several sisters lay in bed, tossing and turning like pancakes, unable to sleep.
Qin Yan nudged her and said, "If you can't sleep, tell us what your grandfather said to you."
"That's right. I heard something happened in the palace today. What happened?" Qin Chan also looked at her with burning eyes.
Qin Wan looked at the ceiling of the tent and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a sound of breaking air outside. Her face changed slightly and she grabbed the quilt and shook it.
