Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu exchanged glances and made plans.
Naturally, they would try their best to fulfill their daughter's wish.
Two days later, it was Prince Kang's day off. Prince Kang planned to take his wife, daughter and the Prime Minister's wife to visit Prince Gong's Mansion today.
It happened that the Prime Minister was there too, so he followed them to Prince Gong's Mansion.
Prince Gong was injured and lying down, so Prince Kang and the Prime Minister went to visit him first.
As soon as Prince Kang entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then saw Prince Gong lying on the bed with a pale face.
Prince Kang had a complicated expression. It was true that Prince Gong was his younger brother whom he had taken good care of, but when Prince Gong sent people to burn his two sons to death and also sent people to assassinate his wife and children, Prince Gong was no longer his younger brother.
But now is not the time to fall out.
Even if he is very happy and wants to laugh, he has to hold it back.
"Fourth brother, how are you? Where are you injured? Have you caught the assassin?"
Prince Kang sat beside the bed, holding Prince Gong's hand, and asked anxiously and worriedly.
Prince Gong opened his eyelids and glanced at Prince Kang, then looked at the Prime Minister, and a weak smile appeared on his pale face.
"Third brother, Prime Minister, you are here. I was shot by an arrow. I need to rest for a while, cough cough cough, and I will be fine.
As for the assassin."
When the word "assassin" was mentioned, Prince Gong looked at Prince Kang with an ambiguous expression, "The assassin ran away and disappeared without a trace."
Prince Kang seemed to see hostility in Prince Gong's eyes.
hostility?
What does the assassination of Prince Gong have to do with him?
It wasn't him who sent someone to assassinate him.
"Really? That's a shame. Fourth brother, have you reported this to our father? Perhaps he can help you find the mastermind behind this."
Prince Kang felt a little uncomfortable with Prince Gong's gaze, but he still looked directly at him and said this.
Prince Gong curled his lips and looked away, "There's no need for me to report this to the Emperor. He should already know about my assassination attempt.
But what then? I am not favored by the Emperor, and he will not help me.
Even if Father really sends someone to investigate, the identity of the murderer might make Father very embarrassed."
Prince Gong's words were suggestive, and Prince Kang and the Prime Minister felt strange listening to them.
Prime Minister Leng Zhuning's eyes wandered between Prince Gong and Prince Kang. He vaguely felt that the atmosphere was beginning to change, so he opened his mouth to change the subject.
"Prince Gong looks very pale. Prince Kang, why don't we leave first and let Prince Gong rest?"
Prince Kang didn't want to stay any longer. Prince Gong's look made him very uncomfortable.
"Okay, fourth brother, you should take good care of yourself. The Prime Minister and I will leave first. We will come to visit you another day if we have the chance."
Prince Kang and Prince Gong maintained superficial friendship for the time being, but they both wanted to kill each other in their hearts.
After Prince Kang and the Prime Minister left Prince Gong's bedroom, they went to the main hall to wait for their respective wives.
After the two left, Prince Gong's face darkened. If the hatred in his eyes could be transformed into substance, it would probably pass through countless doors and hit Prince Kang right in the heart!
"Have you asked the spies planted in Prince Kang's mansion? What has happened in Prince Kang's mansion recently?"
Prince Gong asked in a low voice to the secret guard hiding in the room.
A voice came from the darkness.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. All the spies have been cleared out by Prince Kang. I am looking for an opportunity to re-place spies in Prince Kang's mansion.
The subordinates only know that the affair of the Prime Minister's wife was revealed by Prince Kang and his wife, and that Princess Kang and the Prime Minister's wife were close friends before they got married.
Therefore, the relationship between Prince Kang’s Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion is very close now.”
Prince Gong clenched his back teeth, his eyes full of hatred.
King Kang cleaned up all the eyeliner?!
What a great King Kang!
Now you actually have this ability!
He can even get the prime minister to stand on his side!
Even so, King Kang always said that he had no interest in power and just wanted to live an ordinary life?
Oh.
King Kang is the best at hiding his true feelings!
Now he can even secretly send assassins to kill him, but he pretends to be innocent!
In that case, he doesn't need to be polite to King Kang anymore!
On the other side, Princess Gong entertained Princess Kang and her daughter and Prime Minister's wife Lu Jiannan in her own bedroom.
Princess Gong was very fond of the baby. She didn't want to let go of the soft and milky baby after holding him in her arms.
"Princess Gong, I didn't expect you to like babies so much. You can have another child with Prince Gong.
You only have one son, and Prince Gong has so many concubines. While you are still young, give birth to more children to consolidate your position."
After Ye Peizhu said this, she saw the smile on Princess Gong's face freeze for a moment, and she covered her lips with her hands and let out a cry.
"I'm sorry, Princess Gong, was I too direct?
I just saw that you like children very much, so I thought so and said so."
Princess Gong forced a smile and said, "There's no need to apologize, Third Sister-in-law. You're right.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. It's because the prince has too many concubines. He rarely stays in my room on weekdays, let alone I can get pregnant.
When the prince was assassinated that night, I and Concubine Jiang were both by his side, but it was Concubine Jiang who reacted first and blocked the arrow for the prince.
By the time I reacted, the prince had already been shot by an arrow.
Because of this incident, the prince doted on Aunt Jiang even more and became more indifferent to me.
I offered to take care of the prince, but he coldly rejected me."
Princess Gong started crying as she spoke.
Ye Peizhu and Lu Jiannan exchanged glances and frowned slightly.
Ye Peizhu stood up and sat next to Princess Gong, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Don't cry. Blocking an arrow doesn't prove anything about your sincerity. You must have been scared at the time, so you didn't react, right?"
Princess Gong cried and nodded desperately, her voice hoarse, "Yes, I am really scared! But the prince only has Concubine Jiang in his heart now!"
"Is the Concubine Jiang you're talking about favored by Prince Gong?"
Lu Jianan asked.
Princess Gong thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head, "Madam Jiang is an orphan. When the prince first brought her back home, he doted on her.
But later the prince took in several concubines and gradually became cold towards Aunt Jiang.
This time, Concubine Jiang protected the prince from the arrow, and the prince treated Concubine Jiang even better."
Princess Gong became even sadder as she thought about it.
Song Jiujiu, who was held in her arms, opened her eyes wide with some confusion.
[Madam Jiang? Madam Jiang shielded Prince Gong from the arrow? This never happened in my previous life.
In his previous life, Prince Gong had been assassinated several times. The last time he was assassinated, it was Princess Gong who blocked the sword for him, and Princess Gong died on the spot.
Later, Prince Gong promoted a concubine to be the princess. Let me think, what was the name of this concubine?
Hmm... Jiang Yingying? Also surnamed Jiang, could it be that the Concubine Jiang that Princess Gong mentioned, who shielded Prince Gong from attack, is Jiang Yingying?
