Upon hearing this, the Third Prince immediately shook his head and said, "No, mine is very different from my eldest brother's. You can tell at a glance. Actually, I think we should just go and talk to my eldest brother and ask him to lend me his skateboard to try it out. That would be fine."
Madam Li shook her head and said, "Jun'er, your eldest brother has always been favored by your father, and he always does things better than you brothers. How could he possibly let you know the secret of the skateboard?"
The Third Prince looked puzzled, but he believed Li's words without a doubt. After all, what child would doubt that his mother would use him?
Looking into the Third Prince's innocent eyes, and seeing that he was now doubting his elder brother because of her words, Li felt a faint pain in her heart. However, when she thought about how she could create a more "promising" future for Hongjun, she immediately suppressed that pain.
"What, don't you believe your mother?" Madam Li said, feigning anger.
“No, Mother would never lie to me. If Big Brother’s skateboard is really that special, then I must take a good look at it today,” the Third Prince said.
"Yes, go and take a look first. Once you decide to try it as your mother says, be sure to tell your mother beforehand, okay?" Madam Li was afraid that the Third Prince would ruin her plan, so she quickly emphasized.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry. I'll take a closer look at my elder brother's skateboard first. If it's really as you say, I'll tell you later." Hongjun had no idea that his mother was taking advantage of his trust to plot a major event that would plunge the entire Fourth Prince's mansion into turmoil.
After the Third Prince left, the smile on Li's face gradually disappeared.
"Madam, Que'er is back!" Xiangqiao knew that she had been looking for Que'er, so as soon as she saw the latter return, she hurriedly came to report.
"Let her in!" Madam Li said coldly.
When Que'er entered, Li Shi dismissed everyone else as usual, leaving only Que'er to serve in the room. Xiang Qiao gave Que'er a deep look, then reluctantly left.
"How is it?" Li asked, staring at Que'er.
“I’ve found him. Master has found a carpenter who is skilled at making mechanisms. He can do whatever the Princess Consort wants him to do,” Que’er said firmly. She had been staying at Li’s family home for the past few days.
"Where is he?" Li asked anxiously, her heart tightening. In fact, she had been plotting to get rid of Honghui for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity. This time, the Fourth Prince went out with two princesses and encountered such a situation that she could use. Perhaps she could kill two birds with one stone and make Niu Shi the culprit who indirectly caused her elder brother's death.
"I've already brought him in quietly. I told the gatekeeper he's a cousin of the Princess Consort and has come to visit her," said Que'er.
"Alright, arrange for him to stay immediately. Starting tonight, have him study that thing thoroughly, and make sure he tampers with it within three days!" Madam Li said nervously, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Yes, but what if the Third Prince doesn't switch with the First Prince? That would be dangerous for the Third Prince, my lady?" Que'er was the only one who knew about Li's entire plan. She knew that the plan had a high chance of success, so she was very nervous.
"I will make sure he changes it." Li's slightly furrowed brows gave off a sinister and terrifying aura. Although she was beautiful, there was an indescribable ferocity about her.
