"An'er, you are right, we really can't just sit there and wait for death.
As for Dong Zhuo, it would be dangerous for him to eavesdrop on the conversation between Dong Zhuo and his father even in his own home.
Tell him to be careful and not to risk eavesdropping. The most important thing is to protect himself first.
besides. "
Ye Peizhu pursed her lips and said in a serious voice, "According to what you said just now, the Minister of Rites is on the side of Prince Gong. Once we succeed in counterattacking Prince Gong.
The Minister of Rites will inevitably be implicated, and it is likely that the people in the Minister of Rites's office will not have a good ending.
As for Dong Zhuo...I wonder what he would think."
"Mother, don't worry about this. Dong Zhuo also told me that he hates his father, mother, and brother so deeply that he wishes the entire family of the Minister of Rites would be executed.
When he learned that Prince Gong had joined forces with the Minister of Rites to deal with us, he told me that he hoped we could fight back, and preferably destroy the Minister of Rites's mansion as well.
He also told us not to worry about him.
Mother, if the Minister of Rites' Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion are really destroyed together, can you and father... adopt Dong Zhuo?"
Song Le'an said the last sentence with some difficulty, but it was also full of anticipation.
Ye Peizhu nodded, "Of course, but the prerequisite is that the emperor agrees and Dong Zhuo is willing."
Lying in her mother's arms, Song Jiujiu sucked her little fingers and listened to her fifth brother talking.
[This does sound like something Dong Zhuo would say. After all, in his previous life, after Dong Zhuo knew that his fifth brother's death was related to Dong Lin, he set fire to the Minister of Rites' residence.
The Fifth Brother is Dong Zhuo's salvation, so Dong Zhuo doesn't want to see anyone, especially his so-called family, harming the Fifth Brother and the people of our Kangwang Mansion.
Song Jiujiu was muttering to herself with great emotion.
Ye Peizhu looked down and saw her daughter sucking her fingers, so she pulled her little hand out of her mouth.
"Thank you, mother. I hope everything goes well."
Song Le'an sat here for a while and then went back to his own yard.
Not long after he left, King Kang hurried back.
"Madam, what happened today was caused by Prince Gong! The secret guards that your husband sent to investigate the Minister of Rites discovered that he had been to Prince Gong's mansion a few days ago.
The secret guard contacted the informant in Prince Gong's mansion and confirmed that the Minister of Rites had indeed met with Prince Gong.
Prince Gong gave that wooden box to the Minister of Rites, who then gave it to his son to bury in our Prince Kang's mansion!"
King Kang whispered through gritted teeth.
"It seems that this is indeed the case. An'er came here just now and told me about this."
Ye Peizhu relayed what her youngest son had just said.
King Kang sighed, "Then this matter can be confirmed."
Ye Peizhu put her daughter, who had fallen asleep at some point, back into the crib and walked over to sit next to King Kang.
"Your Highness, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. A few days ago, we were still worried that Princess Gong might not have any leverage over Prince Gong.
Even if we get Princess Gong to stand on our side, is there no way to overthrow Prince Gong?
This matter is in our favor now. We can use our own methods to fight back. Add to that the leverage that Princess Gong may have, and the possibility of bringing down Prince Gong will be greatly increased!"
After Ye Peizhu said this, Prince Kang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! Madam is smart! It's true!"
Ye Peizhu curled her lips and smiled, "Your Highness, the New Year's Eve palace banquet is not long away. Before that, we can invite Princess Gong to the palace to discuss important matters with her."
"Okay, Madam, make your decision. I'll have someone arrange it. Oh, and the housekeeper bought a wooden box. It looks pretty similar to the chopped-up box, so it should be a good replacement."
King Kang took out a black wooden box with a small lock from his wide sleeves and said, "Here is the key."
Ye Peizhu took the key, opened the small lock, and looked at it carefully.
"There's really no noticeable difference. They look exactly the same. Your Highness, did you instruct the butler in advance to disguise himself when he bought the box? Don't let anyone know he's from Prince Kang's mansion."
"I've explained it, ma'am, don't worry, no one will find out."
"Okay, then after the hype of these few days is over, we can have the spies in Prince Gong's Mansion bury this thing."
Ye Peizhu found the broken wooden box and took out the letter inside. "Your Highness, this letter can be rewritten in the name of Prince Gong, imitating Prince Gong's handwriting. But who should transcribe this letter?"
"Let me do it. I know Prince Gong's handwriting and can try to imitate it."
Prince Kang had a complicated expression. He and Prince Gong grew up together and had a good relationship even after they got married and had children. He could imitate Prince Gong's handwriting, and Prince Gong could also imitate his handwriting.
But he didn't expect that Prince Gong, who had the best relationship with him, would stab him in the back!
This time, he and Prince Gong are bound to fall out and fight to the death!
Prince Kang spent half an hour carefully imitating Prince Gong's handwriting and transcribing the letter.
Ye Peizhu put the letter, talisman paper and the wooden man with silver needles pierced into the new wooden box and locked it with a small lock.
"Your Highness, that's enough. You can hand it over to the spies in Prince Gong's Mansion."
Ye Peizhu solemnly handed the wooden box to King Kang.
King Kang took a deep breath, took it, and went to instruct the secret guards.
Coincidentally, that night, the secret guards sent by King Kang to investigate the Minister of Rites and the missing daughter of the Duke's Mansion all returned.
Seeing the two secret guards with serious expressions, King Kang's eyebrows twitched. He called his wife to accompany him to listen to what the secret guards had investigated.
"Go ahead, let's talk about the Minister of Rites first. Besides finding out that he's Prince Gong's man, what else did you find out?"
"Your Highness, Princess, I have discovered that the Minister of Rites has secretly done many bad things for Prince Gong, and he has also accepted bribes and embezzled a large amount of money.
I have obtained all the evidence, and I would like to ask Your Majesty and Your Majesty to review it."
The secret guard took out a stack of letter paper and handed it to King Kang.
King Kang took a glance and was shocked.
These evidences...as long as the emperor is not partial to Prince Gong, they are enough to have Prince Gong punished!
Plus the things in the wooden box, and the possible leverage that Princess Gong might have...
This time, he can definitely defeat Prince Gong!
"How's the investigation going into the Duke's missing daughter?"
Ye Peizhu glanced at the evidence in Prince Kang's hand and then asked.
"Princess, there's a story behind this. The Duke's uncle's family once told others that their niece was stolen.
Later, someone asked the Duke’s wife about what happened back then, but she denied that her daughter was stolen…”
