Having tasted such sweetness, the Third Prince naturally looked down upon other ways of making money.

This is just a small city in the south, but it can already generate such an income. The Third Prince dare not even imagine how many young ladies would be willing to serve him if he went to a place like Gusu.

The Third Prince wished he could do this more often as he could earn money and be admired by women.

So when he saw that he had made friends with almost all the ladies in this city, the Third Prince immediately moved to another city and repeated the same trick in the next city. Before he knew it, the Third Prince no longer worried about money.

But every day he was like a butterfly, wandering around the young ladies and participating in various poetry gatherings.

Because the third prince grew up in the palace and had seen countless treasures.

And those merchants, whom the Third Prince thought were full of the smell of money, loved to buy elegant things to fill their houses after they became rich.

The third prince discovered that as long as he met such a wealthy businessman and praised his family a few times, he would receive a lot of rewards.

So the Third Prince gradually made money. While he was making money, he asked his men to recruit soldiers. At one time, he even gathered an army of 10,000. However, the people in the army did not know that they were going to rebel. They just thought they were guards for a noble family.

The third prince was not very worried about these things.

For the Third Prince, even if these people are not loyal to him now, after he lets them do something to gain profit, these people will have no choice but to stand firmly on his boat.

When the prime minister and his men arrived at the town that the third prince of the south passed through, they had all heard about a man named Yulang.

It was nothing more than that Yulang's family assets were seized by his uncles and aunts. He was a handsome young man who was both literary and martial, proficient in poetry and prose, and could appraise treasures.

At first, the prime ministers did not think of the third prince until one day they heard a few young ladies chatting.

Speaking of Yu Lang, there was a one-eyed guard beside him who looked quite fierce.

The prime minister remembered that his most capable subordinate was One-Eye, and he had sent One-Eye to meet the third prince.

I am thinking carefully about the story made up by the third prince.

Aren’t they just the things that happen in the palace?

I could listen to these young ladies discussing Yulang's affairs in amazement.

Basically every young lady present gave Yulang some support.

The prime minister made a brief calculation and determined that there would be at least several thousand taels of silver.

Even the old confidant who followed the Prime Minister was a little surprised.

"Thinking that the Third Prince actually used such an alternative method to make money, he is indeed quite strategic..."

The old man laughed dryly twice.

Although the prime minister frowned at first, his brows soon relaxed.

"Using special means in special times is a kind of growth. Now it seems that the Third Prince's recruitment of troops may not be a joke!"

When the Third Prince and the Prime Minister met up, both of them were a little stunned.

The third prince did not expect that the prime minister looked like he had aged ten years and had a scar on his face.

The prime minister had not expected that the third prince was now dressed like a butterfly, and with his every move, he not only pretended to be a scholar, but also revealed a hint of flattery.

There is not much left of the demeanor he had developed when he was a prince.

Both sides were surprised and sad.

But no one said much.

The prime minister sighed, and suddenly asked his trusted old man to leave.

"I have something to say to the Third Prince alone."

The third prince is now physically strong and knows some martial arts, so he is naturally not afraid of the prime minister.

Even if the Third Prince was right now, he could still realize that the only two people on this pirate ship who had the most reliable relationship were him and the Prime Minister.

"Third Prince, now our goals are probably the same. I need your royal bloodline, and you also need the help of my forces. Previously, because of the evil schemes of Zhao Ji, the traitor, we became quite estranged."

"But we are related by blood after all, so we naturally have more trust than Zhao Ji and the others. What do you think?"

The prime minister was particularly frank, and this time he really wanted to cooperate.

As for the third prince, he really needs the power in the prime minister's hands, just as the prime minister said.

But the nail that Zhao Ji had planted in the hearts of the two was too deep, at least the nail on the Third Prince's side was very deep.

So the third prince doesn't trust the prime minister very much.

The prime minister was an old fox. Naturally, he noticed the third prince's hesitation and finally sighed.

"There is something that the Queen has not told you. Now that you are not in the harem, the Queen is not in a position to tell you. So I will tell you."

There was a sense of distance in the Prime Minister's eyes.

"You are not the descendant of the late emperor!" These words were like a bolt of lightning, striking the third prince directly in the heart.

The third prince was stunned and could not stand steadily. If there was not a table behind him, his legs would have gone weak and he would have sat down on the ground.

"How is this possible? I am the Prince of Jin of the Heavenly Dynasty, and my mother is the Empress. How could I not be the son of my father?"

There was a hint of sadness in the Prime Minister's eyes.

"All of this is true. I sent the queen to the palace, but the emperor's health had already broken down by then, and it was impossible for him and the queen to have a child."

"So I had no choice but to report you to the Queen from my concubine."

"You and the Queen are not mother and son at all, you are brother and sister!"

One bombshell after another stunned everyone around the Third Prince.

The third prince was trying hard to digest this huge and shocking news.

The more I thought about it, the more painful it became.

The prime minister stepped forward and patted the third prince on the shoulder to comfort him: "So you are my son, my blood, and I want you to ascend to that position. In the future, all your descendants will be my blood!"

"I have worked diligently for this dynasty for most of my life, just for this."

"Why else do you think I didn't just recruit soldiers and rebel against the late emperor?"

"All of this is for you! You are the hope of our family!"

The third prince covered his head in pain. At this moment, he was very unwilling to accept this reality.

"How can you be sure that I am your son?"

"Why should I believe you without evidence?"

The prime minister sighed and said, "Everyone in my Ling family has a birthmark on their elbow, which looks like a copper coin."

"I have the queen and you have me too. If you still don't believe me, I can naturally ask the waiter to bring a bowl of water so that we can drop blood to recognize our relationship."

The Prime Minister doesn't look like he's pretending.

Then, the prime minister pushed the sleeve of his hand to his shoulder, and sure enough, there was a copper coin birthmark on his elbow.

The third prince was in great pain because he really had this too.
