Chapter 206: For My Wife
When the Sixth Prince returned to his mansion after a busy day, he saw someone leisurely reading a book and drinking tea. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch. This guy really made him hate him.
Thinking about how tired he was, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Master Pei, I didn't expect you to be in such a good mood!"
Pei Yian was looking at the shops for sale in the capital, planning to give them directly to Sui Niang and have someone open a restaurant in them.
He could see that Sui Niang enjoyed these very much, and her eyes sparkled when she cooked the dishes, even if it was partly to make a living.
Hearing this voice, Pei Yian did not look up, and did not even glance at the person in front of him. He was still looking at the things in his hands. The locations and stores of these stores were very good, and he could give them all to Sui Niang.
Seeing that the man still ignored him and was still looking at the thing in his hand, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but lean over, curious about what made him so focused. He found that what Pei Yian was holding in his hand was not a classical book, but a picture album from a shop.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Future Duke of Zhenguo, are you planning to do business?"
"For my wife."
Pei Yian said this with a hint of tenderness, and the Sixth Prince felt like he was struck by lightning. He could actually hear the tenderness in the mouth of this black-hearted person, which was really scary.
"You...you can still have a wife?" He knew that this man was not interested in women and had no romantic feelings in his heart. He really couldn't imagine that the other party would indulge in love.
"We got married at the beginning of the year." When he said this, Pei Yian raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t stay in Qizhou County for too long and couldn’t accompany Sui Niang.
Seeing such a deeply affectionate and serious look, the Sixth Prince was really curious about what kind of woman could win over Pei Yian.
He will definitely meet her properly when the time comes!
"Don't talk about me. How are things going recently? I have someone holding the Fourth Prince back."
"Those ministers with ulterior motives may appear to be friendly to me on the surface, but secretly they are just hoping to pull me down and support newcomers to take the position." When the Sixth Prince mentioned the troubles in the court, he became visibly irritable. He has been very angry recently.
Pei Yian closed the album in his hand and put it down. "What are you afraid of? The more small moves you make, the easier it will be to reveal your true identity. Let them fight each other."
At this time, with a little guidance from them, the turbulent situation and the temptation of power, who wouldn't be tempted!
"I suddenly feel so fortunate that we are partners." The Sixth Prince couldn't help but sigh.
I don’t know what this man looks like. Could it be that he is full of tricks?
He was born into a military family like the Pei family, but how could he have such a delicate heart? His secret guards have unfathomable martial arts skills, and he has an intelligence network behind him, so he can play with everyone in his palm.
Having such a powerful enemy is really a headache, but fortunately, they have partners.
Soon, someone threw a stone into the already uneasy court, and the situation began to deteriorate into chaos.
The second prince's faction took the lead in the rebellion. Someone came forward with evidence, all of which pointed to the fact that the emperor was poisoned by people sent by the crown prince in order to ascend the throne early.
If the emperor falls, the biggest beneficiary will be the prince, so it is not impossible that he would do this.
People in the court were talking about it. Some were watching the show, some were causing trouble, and some were waiting for the outcome.
But when the so-called witness appeared, he changed his testimony and directly pointed out that the people in the second prince's faction had bad intentions and wanted to bring down the crown prince.
After these words were spoken, the people of the Second Prince's faction were thrown into disarray.
"You...you..." The minister was so angry that he could hardly stand and was about to fall.
How could all this be different from what they had planned? This was supposed to be specifically targeting the Crown Prince, but now the blame had fallen directly on their heads.
"Lord Wang, I wonder if you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Wang Aiqing's mind was in a mess and he was sweating all over. He had no idea how to explain this situation.
"Come here, drag him away." The voice contained the indifference and arrogance that only belonged to a superior.
Since the emperor was not around, the prince naturally had the final say. Soon, someone dragged away the court official who had slandered the prince.
Everyone suddenly realized that the person standing on the stage was no longer the unknown Sixth Prince, but was now the Crown Prince!
This time, the conspiracy of the second prince and others failed, and they were caught by the crown prince. The second prince and his faction lost many important officials.
Knowing that they were not easy to deal with, some people gave up their thoughts, and some tried other means, but the prince would never let these people have a chance to jump around, so he suppressed them all.
Not long after, many ministers in the court were replaced, the situation in the capital was reshuffled, and most of the power was handed over to the prince.
The Sixth Prince's position as Crown Prince became increasingly stable.
After the Sixth Prince stepped into the emperor's palace, he looked coldly at the sick man lying on the bed.
The emperor, who had fallen into a coma, seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and looked blankly at the figures in the room.
"My good father, have you fallen to this point?" The Sixth Prince couldn't help but chuckle softly. Upon listening carefully, he felt a bit crazy.
The emperor just looked at the Sixth Prince with lifeless eyes, then slowly turned his head back, looking as if he didn't understand at all.
This look also made the Sixth Prince feel somewhat relieved.
To be precise, the Sixth Prince is not the Sixth Prince, but the Emperor's nephew and the son of Prince Ni, who is the most likely heir to the throne.
But later, the family of King Ni was burned to ashes in a fire, leaving no one alive. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was raised in his maternal home because he was young and sick, and he watched helplessly as his maternal grandfather's family was also wiped out.
At that time, he was still young and was rescued by Brother Pei, but the seed of hatred was buried in his heart. Later, he entered the palace, and the Sixth Prince fell into the river and died in the cold palace, so he became the Sixth Prince.
Because the emperor had many children and the sixth prince lived in the cold palace, he had met only a handful of palace maids. He easily replaced someone else, kept a low profile and grew up smoothly. He had the least sense of existence, and with his deliberate portrayal of his eyebrows and eyes, he was somewhat similar to the emperor.
No one doubted his identity, and he naturally could not let go of the deep hatred he carried, so he had been planning in secret for so many years.
Later, when the news came that the Pei family had been confiscated and exiled for collaborating with the enemy, he knew that the emperor was definitely behind this. He could not do this many times. Not long before his exile, he met with Pei Yian.
Later, the two of them contacted each other and started to cooperate. They had a common enemy.
