Chapter 570 How about getting on the bus first and then buying the ticket?
"How outrageous! I'm so pissed off! Go get someone to capture that damn Prince Xiong for me!"
Prince Yi finally calmed down Liu Jiaojiao, and just as he entered the study, he heard the emperor's angry voice.
Prince Yi picked his ears and went in calmly.
"You useless thing! How is Xiaobao now? Is there any news about her?" The emperor was almost pissed off when he suddenly heard the news that Xiaobao and the others fell off a cliff, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Although there was no direct evidence to prove that it was Prince Xiong who did it, the emperor knew that it could not be anyone else but him!
"Father, as soon as I heard the news, I sent someone to check, and Prince Xiong left with his men overnight."
Prince Yi has sent people to chase him, but whether he can catch up is still a question.
"This damned bear prince!"
"How dare he?"
"You rebellious son, why don't you send someone to look for the little baby! If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"
Prince Yi rubbed his brows. The family had finally managed to hide the truth, but the emperor was having a hard time dealing with it.
"Many people have been sent! Father, don't worry, the little baby is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Ye Feng and Ye Mu are good at martial arts. I believe that the two will send back news soon. Besides, the little baby will find a way to inform us!"
The emperor glared at Prince Yi fiercely: "After all, she is just a child!"
"Send more people!"
Prince Yi nodded: "Father, I will also send people to hunt down the big prince!"
"He actually dared to lay a hand on the little baby. I will definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
The emperor then patted Prince Yi's shoulder with satisfaction: "That's great! By the way, even if you catch him, don't bring him to the palace, just lock him up outside. Leave him alive, but don't let him live too comfortably. It would be best if he lives a fate worse than death!"
Prince Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. As expected of father and son, they thought almost the same thing!
"Father, I understand!"
"By the way, the Ninth Prince and Prince Xian seem to have had contact with Prince Xiong recently. The three of them have met alone several times!"
Prince Yi sneered. When it's time to pass the buck, he must not be soft-hearted.
"Humph! Your Ninth Uncle still hasn't paid the one million taels of silver he owes. Send someone to collect the silver!"
Prince Yi smiled and said, "Father is right. I'll go over now!"
The Ninth Prince was at Yuan Hongxuan's mansion now, and Prince Yi went straight to find him.
After explaining his purpose, the Ninth Prince was so angry that his face turned black. He was panting and gasping for breath. Seeing that he was almost fainted, Prince Yi felt that he was in a very good mood.
"Ninth Uncle, the original bet was made in front of Father. You won't deny it, will you?"
The Ninth Prince...
he had no intention of admitting it in the first place!
"By the way, there have been some rumors outside the capital recently. If you have time, Ninth Prince might as well go out and listen!"
"In fact, I don't know how this matter got out, but Ninth Prince, a man buried up to his neck in the earth, made a bet with a little girl of two or three years old, and he didn't keep his promise after losing. It's not good for this rumor to spread!"
"You bastard!"
After Prince Yi finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left without a trace of cloud.
It took the Ninth Prince a long time to recover his breath. He was so angry that his eyes were red and veins on his forehead were popping out. He raised his hand and waved at the things on the table.
There was a crackling sound. There were not many things in Yuan Hongxuan's mansion, and they were not very valuable. But this wave of his hand ruined another set of tea sets.
Yuan Hongxuan heard that Prince Yi was coming, so he hurried over. Before he even entered the room, he heard some gurgling sounds from inside.
Yuan Hongxuan gritted his teeth.
He didn't know what Prince Yi and the Ninth Prince had said to make him so angry.
"Ninth Prince..."
Yuan Hongxuan took a deep breath and stepped in.
The Ninth Prince raised his head, his eyes red, and asked word by word: "What rumors are there outside now? About the prince?"
Yuan Hongxuan hesitated, and he really heard it today.
But he felt that it was nothing, wasn't it just a few words from people outside? It wouldn't cost him a thing!
Compared with one million taels of silver, what was a few idle words?
"Uncle Nine, those people outside are just idle and have nothing to do. We don't need to bother with them!"
"They are all just making a fuss and don't understand the truth at all!"
Uncle Nine sneered, clenched his fist tightly, and hit the table with a bang.
However, he didn't expect the table to be hard, and he almost cried out in pain.
"Haha, isn't my reputation important?"
"Besides, that's one million taels of silver. It was said at the beginning that it would be handed over to the national treasury. Do you think those old men, who are full and idle, will let go of this opportunity?"
Yuan Hongxuan was choked, but he still felt lucky: "Ninth Uncle, this kind of thing can only be tolerated for a while. Haven't those old guys spoken yet?"
The Ninth Uncle sneered: "That's because no one has spoken up before!"
Today, Prince Yi came over and specifically mentioned it. He believed that this was definitely not Prince Yi's idea alone. It should be the one above.
There are many old ministers who flatter the emperor. They understand the emperor's intention. It is estimated that there will be more than one minister who will mention this matter at the morning court tomorrow.
"Ninth Prince, what should we do now?"
Yuan Hongxuan clenched his fists. The Ninth Prince was his only hope now, and there must be no mistakes.
But even his family couldn't afford one million taels of silver.
"What else can I do? Just make some money! Didn't you just marry a few daughters of merchants?"
Yuan Hongxuan... How could he, a grown man, have the nerve to ask those women for money?
"Let's keep this matter under wraps for now. Let them spit out more money when they have nothing to do. Don't forget, your grandparents need it too!"
"To win over people, you can't do it without money!"
Yuan Hongxuan gritted his teeth secretly. He understood this principle, but what he lacked most was money.
"By the way, take some time to contact Princess Zero and make her fall in love with you as soon as possible. The mineral resources in the Bear Country are relatively rich. It would be even better if we could get a few mineral veins from her!" "
She is the legitimate princess of the Queen Mother. I guess she has a lot of good things!"
The Ninth Prince's eyes were deep. If he wanted to reach that position, how could he do it without a strong financial backing?
"I know, Ninth Uncle!"
Yuan Hongxuan hid his impatience. The Ninth Uncle only had a few connections to help him. He had to figure out the money himself.
To take down Princess Zero? The best way is to make it a done deal! And it has to be known to everyone.
It just so happens that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming soon. On that day, the opportunity is rare!
