"Tell me about it." It's even related to the Crown Prince. Don't they know they're sisters? If someone really uses such despicable means to slander her and the Crown Prince, especially when the Crown Prince is in Jiangnan dealing with floods, then they truly have no bottom line. It's heartbreaking!
Sun Yun took a sip of the white fungus soup, ate half her fill, and said nonchalantly, "There are several versions. Let me tell you about the earliest one first." Having launched a family coup, she had long since become indifferent to all schemes and plots, cutting off the enemy's financial and livelihood paths, and good fortune would naturally follow.
Zhao Shu nodded and waited for her to continue.
"It is said that you grew up with His Highness the Crown Prince since childhood, and you were childhood sweethearts. You ignored all the other royal brothers and sisters, but you only cared about the Crown Prince. This affection was secretly born from childhood. Therefore, you are fifteen years old and still not engaged, while the Crown Prince has come of age but has not married or even taken a concubine. This is one reason."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu felt a chill run down her spine. The reason the Crown Prince hadn't yet taken a wife was because he hadn't participated in court affairs in recent years, and he couldn't just marry a Crown Princess casually. Not taking concubines was out of respect for his future Crown Princess! Besides, the Crown Prince was a good person and wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks to marry her!
"Secondly, it is about the Crown Prince being injured in Guanzhou. You took care of him without taking off your clothes. The Crown Prince was moved, and you two fell in love. However, as siblings, it was against ethics. But you two loved each other. In order to stay together, one of you was fifteen years old and still not engaged, and the other was of marriageable age but still not married."
Before Zhao Shu could even express her indignation, Sun Yun stopped her.
“There’s a third point.” She said sarcastically, but seeing Zhao Shu’s angry face, she stopped joking and said seriously, “The third point is that you were actually picked up by Prince Yong. The real Princess Jun died long ago and has no blood relation with the Crown Prince.”
"Are you blind? My eyes and eyebrows are 50% similar to my father's. If you want to prove that I am my father's biological daughter, are you going to say that my brother, the Crown Prince, was adopted?" Zhao Shu laughed in anger. She really would stop at nothing!
"Little Zhu Zi." Suppressing his inner rage, he raised his voice with a chilling tone.
Xiao Zhuzi hurried in, bowed deeply, and reported, "Princess, all the intelligence is here."
He cleverly presented all the intelligence gathered over the past two days. The reason he hadn't mentioned it earlier was because Sun Yun had arrived before he had a chance to. He wiped away a cold sweat, thankful that Miss Sun had relayed the message, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to report it. Those people were too shameless and despicable!
Zhao Shu opened a few pages of intelligence without expression. There was nothing special inside, only the names of those gangs that were stirring up trouble. "What's the surname of the Black Wind Gang?" Who would believe that these underworld gangs had no backing?
Xiao Zhu knelt down with a thud. "Princess, please forgive me. This servant has not yet investigated the matter." Things had developed too quickly. He had only managed to find out that Fengyun Hall belonged to the Yang family. There was still no news about who was behind Heifeng Hall.
Sun Yun slowly took out a piece of paper from his wide sleeve and handed it to Zhao Shu. "Don't bother checking. I have all the branches in the capital. Let me make this clear first, Shunhe Hall is mine."
Xiao Zhu wiped away another cold sweat. He hadn't done nearly enough. These branches hadn't been in his sight before, and he had completely overlooked them. Before this incident, he thought that someone of the princess's status would have her reputation improved as long as some famous scholars praised her. He never expected that she would be so smeared this time.
It was also his fault for not being smart enough. The princess had once dominated public opinion, and he knew he was guilty, so he knelt silently to the side and listened.
In fact, Zhao Shu did not blame him. Even Emperor Mingde could not do anything about these gangs, let alone Xiao Zhuzi. Over the years, the Wucheng Military Command and the Jingzhao Prefecture, two major national institutions in charge of the security of the capital, have not touched them at all, which shows that their power is not small. They will not be easily moved unless they have no other choice.
A single hair can have far-reaching consequences; no one can predict the outcome, and no one dares to easily shoulder this responsibility.
"Bandits who come down from the mountain and change their names to call themselves gangs are still bandits. I wonder what you do with these gangs on a daily basis." Zhao Shu snorted coldly. These gangs are, to put it bluntly, thugs and gangs, organized crime groups that specialize in bullying the good and doing shady things. Some murderers, after killing someone, join a gang and not only do they not have to pay with their lives, they can also go back and eliminate their enemies!
Sun Yun shrugged innocently and took another sip of the white fungus soup. "Slinging mud and smearing someone, hating someone and digging up their ancestral graves, it's very effective. How about it, want to try it? The Sun family's ancestral hall has a very favorable price."
"Now that she's in charge, things are really different. She's started doing business." Zhao Shu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.
"Alright, considering our strong friendship, I'll offer this service for free." After saying that, she casually took out several plans from her bosom, spread a sheet of paper in front of her, and clearly analyzed the pros and cons of several plans. "Now Shunhetang is managed by me personally, and they are no longer bandits."
Zhao Shu glanced at her and asked, "Is it the bandit king?"
"How can you say that? He's a chivalrous hero! Really, don't take the money!" She pretended to be angry, trying to tease Zhao Shu.
“This plan is good; let’s see who has no bottom line,” Zhao Shu said, pointing to the third plan.
Sun Yun was taken aback, then reached out and placed the back of his hand on her forehead. "Are you alright? The first plan was clearly more suitable. Wouldn't it have been a permanent solution to eliminate all the other gangs?"
Zhao Shu shook her head. "There are too many gangs, and we don't have that many people. General Peng is following Lord Huo in reforming the laws, so he definitely won't be able to spare anyone to help us with this mess. So let's go with the third one and smear them a lot. No one can escape unscathed."
"Isn't General Wei alright?" Sun Yun leaned close to Zhao Shu's ear with great interest. "Did you two have a fight?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with him." Zhao Shu pretended to study the plans, but when she caught a glimpse of Sun Yun's smiling face, she didn't believe him.
