Chapter 66 Incompetence
Yang Wenxuan was summoned to the residence of the Sixth Prince.
He was overjoyed; indeed, successfully delivering Tianxiang Tower to the Sixth Prince was a great achievement.
When did the Sixth Prince ever summon him to his residence?
This time it was finally his turn to show his face in front of the Sixth Prince!
As soon as he pushed open the door, an inkstone was smashed directly onto his forehead!
Blood flowed down instantly.
"Useless! What kind of work are you doing?!"
Ignoring the pain and panic, Yang Wenxuan knelt down on the ground.
"Your Highness, please calm down! I don't know why Your Highness is so angry."
The sixth prince strode up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"You idiot, who told you to spread the word that I want Tianxiang Tower!"
Yang Wenxuan didn't understand what the Sixth Prince meant for a moment!
The Sixth Prince glared at him fiercely and said, "The whole capital is saying that I'm the one behind Tianxiang Tower! If this gets back to Father Emperor, how will I explain myself!"
Yang Wenxuan was at a loss. Wasn't this Tianxiang Tower what His Highness wanted?
Why bother explaining to His Majesty if others already know that Tianxiang Tower is His Highness's property?
Yang Wenxuan pondered for a long time before finding his voice, "Your Highness, Luo Xiangfu has already agreed to give Tianxiang Tower to Your Highness, and the land deed is already prepared. Shall we still go?"
"Go to hell!"
The sixth prince kicked Yang Wenxuan to the ground.
Where did this idiot come from?!
"Get out of here right now! Don't let me see you again!"
Yang Wenxuan didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran away in a sorry state.
Where exactly did things go wrong?!
Your Highness, why do you want it again?
Qin Jinzhi slept soundly and didn't get up until late the next morning.
Yun Ge walked in and handed over the two tokens.
“There was a fight between two groups of assassins outside the Prince’s Mansion yesterday. This was found on the corpse.”
Qin Jinzhi took the token and glanced at it. "They came really fast."
She tossed the token back to Yun Ge, saying, "When you deliver food to Huangfu Nanfeng, take this token with you as well."
"yes."
Yun Ge took the token and left.
Qin Jinzhi saw that the sun was shining brightly and it was time to go to the palace to pay her respects to her grandmother.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi entered the Jiaofang Palace, she sensed that something was wrong.
Feiyan trotted over and whispered, "Princess, you've finally arrived. The Crown Prince and the Empress are arguing again."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, "Because of Shen Liuying?"
Feiyan's eyes widened. "Princess, how did you know? The Crown Prince wanted to take Shen Liuying to the Eastern Palace. The Empress was furious when she found out, and the two of them had a fierce argument just now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinzhi smiled. If the Crown Prince had only considered taking a concubine before, he would probably be determined to take Shen Liuying as his concubine now.
"It seems the Crown Prince's Palace is about to welcome a new benefactor."
Feiyan looked puzzled. "Is the princess referring to Shen Liuying? She's not exactly a noblewoman. It seems the Crown Prince only wants to take her as a concubine, not to give her a title."
Qin Jinzhi pinched Feiyan's little face, "As long as the Empress Dowager objects, Shen Liuying will definitely be granted a title."
After all, her uncle, the Crown Prince, was taught by Pei Qing to be of noble blood, and even his own mother, who was pregnant with her for ten months, looked down on him.
The more the empress opposed him, the more he would oppose her.
It seems that this way he can completely sever ties with the Empress.
If Pei Yunxiao hadn't died, Pei Qing might have actually succeeded.
However, in a sense, he was successful.
After all, the crown prince had truly been ruined by his teachings.
Feiyan's chubby little face was full of confusion.
Qin Jinzhi said to Feiyan, "Go and call Shen Liuying to the courtyard."
Feiyan immediately went to call for help.
Shen Liuying didn't know why Qin Jinzhi had called her to the courtyard.
There are too many people and too many eyes around here, so it's not easy to talk to them.
Shen Liuying simply said respectfully, "Princess, you called me."
Qin Jinzhi raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
Shen Liuying was completely stunned by the slap.
Just as he was about to kneel down, he heard Qin Jinzhi say, "Cry!"
With a single glance from Qin Jinzhi, Feiyan ran to the Crown Prince's window and shouted, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Princess has hit Sister Liuying!"
After saying that, he ran away and disappeared without a trace.
Just as the prince's door was urgently opened.
Qin Jinzhi drew a whip from her waist and lashed the table next to Shen Liuying, shattering it into pieces.
Shen Liuying immediately understood Qin Jinzhi's meaning.
She collapsed to the ground, tears welling up instantly.
“Princess, it’s all my fault. I’ve upset the Empress. If you want to avenge the Empress, you can kill me without complaint. But His Highness and I are truly in love. I have no regrets.”
Qin Jinzhi's face instantly turned furious. "You shameless woman, how dare you seduce the Crown Prince in the palace and upset my grandmother! Today I'll beat you to death and then throw you to the dogs!"
Just as Qin Jinzhi was about to crack the whip, a sharp voice rang out.
"stop!"
Qin Jinzhi looked up and saw that the Crown Prince had run out without even properly dressing himself.
"Qin Jinzhi! You dare to commit violence in the palace! Do you have no respect for the law?! I haven't even settled accounts with you for plotting against the Crown Prince, yet you come looking for trouble!"
Qin Jinzhi said defiantly, "Uncle, if you want to settle accounts with me, you'd better have the ability. As long as my grandfather and grandmother are alive, who in the entire Jin Kingdom would dare to touch me? Do you dare to bear the consequences if my Zhenbei Army tramples down the Eastern Palace?"
Only Qin Jinzhi in the entire Jin state would dare to utter such treasonous words so brazenly.
If it were anyone else, Qin Jinzhi wouldn't have needed to be so explicit.
Unfortunately, this Crown Prince uncle is a complete idiot; unless you explain things clearly, he simply won't think of that!
"presumptuous!"
The Crown Prince and the Empress, who shared a slight resemblance, both had a fierce look on their faces.
If anyone else had said Qin Jinzhi's words, he would have executed that person's entire family long ago!
These words are undoubtedly treasonous.
But this person is Qin Jinzhi. She dares to be so arrogant only because she is loved by her father and mother and has the Zhenbei Army backing her up!
He, the dignified crown prince, was kicked into the water by a junior and couldn't even get an explanation!
That's so pathetic.
"Uncle, even if you angered Grandmother, you should still be punished. This lowly servant, with his audacity, can only atone with his death!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the Crown Prince's expression, and her eyes showed great satisfaction.
Yes, that's the feeling I want.
Feeling humiliated, powerless, angry, and resentful!
The more this happens, the more he'll want to take Shen Liuying away!
Only in this way can it be proven that his noble status as crown prince has not been defeated!
The Crown Prince said with a grim expression, "Liu Ying is my person, and I will take her away today! Not only that! I will also appoint her as Cheng Hui! From now on, she will belong to my Eastern Palace! No one can touch her!"
The opposing mother and the vicious younger generation are both hurting the woman who loves him!
At that moment, he felt his own figure grow taller in his mind.
At that moment, the Empress's furious roar came from the tightly closed room.
"Get out of here with your men!"
The Crown Prince's face was full of anger, but Qin Jinzhi still understood the smugness in his eyes that came from his victory over the Empress.
He picked up Shen Liuying in his arms and strode away from the central palace.
Shen Liuying hugged the Crown Prince tightly, and as she stepped out of the palace gate, she gave Qin Jinzhi a knowing smile.
Qin Jinzhi shook her neck. Chenghui, a fifth-rank official. She's really burning a fire!
