The third prince returned to his palace and said nothing. He just smashed everything he could see to the ground.
Today's incident was simply a humiliation for the third prince.
This shows that his scheming and strategies have not evolved to the point where they can impress the emperor.
Instead, he exposed in advance that his stupid character for many years was just a disguise. He was just short of telling the emperor that I, the third prince, would give up the throne as soon as possible and let me ascend the throne.
On the one hand, Zhao Ji and his men began to quietly pay attention to the third prince's connections and movements.
At this time, Zhao Ji discovered that the Third Prince was really ignorant until he checked, and he was shocked when he checked.
It turns out that many assets in the capital belong to the third prince.
These include but are not limited to three restaurants, two teahouses and even a brothel in the capital.
Although these businesses are not very profitable, they can ensure the Third Prince’s source of information in the capital.
Many times when the officials left the court, they would go to restaurants and teahouses without the seriousness and solemnity in the court.
Sometimes when a person is in a relaxed state, he will naturally say more.
"I really didn't expect that the third prince has so many tricks up his sleeve!" Yueying couldn't help but say as she investigated.
Zhao Ji didn't say anything. As a prince, each of the Third Prince's actions had ulterior motives.
It was just that Zhao Ji, having heard the thoughts of the Queen and the Prime Minister, naturally knew more than others and knew the relationship between the Third Prince and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was precisely because he knew this relationship that a playful smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Ji's face.
"I wonder what the Prime Minister's reaction would be if he knew that the Third Prince was being investigated. I'm afraid there are some assets in the capital that the Prime Minister is not even aware of!"
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he noticed Yueying's puzzled expression.
For someone like Yueying who didn't know the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Third Prince, she naturally didn't understand why Zhao Ji suddenly mentioned the Prime Minister.
"Are you saying that the Prime Minister has actually been a member of the Third Prince's faction for a long time?"
That was all Yueying could think of.
Zhao Ji couldn't say it directly, so he could only nod.
Yueying suddenly realized: "I didn't expect the relationship between the court officials to be so complicated. I originally thought that the prime minister was still neutral, but I didn't expect that he could also be connected with the prince."
"But think about it, the Queen is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the Third Prince born to the Prime Minister will naturally have the Prime Minister's Mansion as his backing..."
Yueying was analyzing nonstop on the side.
Zhao Ji's thoughts had already drifted away.
That evening, an uninvited guest visited the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was a man in black, with his face masked, agile and extremely vigilant.
The guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion tried to secretly intercept the man in black but failed to stop him.
Fortunately, the man in black had no other purpose and just threw a letter into the prime minister's study.
The prime minister's subordinates never let him touch the letter because they were afraid that there might be some poison or something in the letter that could harm the prime minister.
At this time, Deadpool, who had not been in the dark, slowly walked out, took the letter, first sniffed it with his nose, and then reached out to open the letter.
The assassin read out what was written in the letter.
Actually, there is nothing much written in it. It mainly tells the Prime Minister about the third prince’s recent situation in the palace.
At first, the prime minister thought it was the queen, so he replaced the messenger with a new one. He didn't know the rules and caused the current situation.
But gradually, the letter began to talk in a tactful way about the Third Prince's business scope in the imperial city.
There were many things in this letter that the Prime Minister did not know. As the letter was read, the Prime Minister's expression had actually become quite ugly.
He couldn't help but believe what was in the letter because it described the events in too much detail.
Moreover, the Prime Minister knew about some of the assets, which corresponded to the information he knew.
This letter was specifically intended to inform the Prime Minister of someone with ulterior motives.
The prime minister was so overwhelmed by these things that he was so angry that he held on to the chair next to him to avoid collapsing on the ground.
"It turns out that the Third Prince has so many escape routes..." The Prime Minister had always believed that the Third Prince, whom he and the Queen had carefully trained, was stupid and ignorant, but at least had two good points.
The first is naturally that the third prince has the blood of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In terms of bloodline, the third prince is the continuation of the bloodline of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This alone is enough to overcome the shortcomings of the third prince.
Another reason is that the Third Prince has always been obedient and sensible. Although he is sometimes a little reckless, it does not actually cause any other consequences. It is just because of his reckless temperament that sometimes the Prime Minister and the Queen do not tell the Third Prince about some things.
But now it seems that the third prince is not as stupid as he pretends to be, and he may even be a smart man.
Compared to a smart person, a stupid person is naturally easier to control.
It was from this moment that the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister's Office realized that the Third Prince was playing the pig to eat the tiger, and might even have some potential connections and popularity that the Prime Minister's Office was not aware of.
No one knows when the third prince started pretending to be stupid.
However, although everyone has questions now, no one has the answers to the questions in their hearts.
The emperor's health is getting better day by day, and he can even get out of bed and walk a distance of about 100 meters.
Although he was covered in sweat and his face was pale after the walk, the emperor was willing to believe it as long as he could regain his health.
Therefore, the emperor always tries his best to eat all the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician and the food supplements recommended by the imperial physician, as long as they are not spicy.
In addition to showing it to the emperor, it is also because the emperor now attaches great importance to health.
As night fell, it was rare for the emperor to still be awake at this time.
None of the equipment in the hall had changed, even the people serving nearby were exactly the same.
It was at this time that Zhao Ji was called into this magnificent palace by the emperor.
On the way here, Zhao Ji admired the bright moon hanging above his head. At this moment, what he was thinking about was the panic expression on the face of the Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he received the letter.
The emperor asked Zhao Ji to come over, actually there was no other reason, mainly to see Zhao Ji as a living person.
"I see that you are full of energy. I really like young people who are young and strong. Unlike me, I am already an old man in his twilight years. I am not likable!"
