Chapter 189: Hidden Danger
At night, Zhao Xiaofei used up all his strength on Qin Baobao. Today, Qin Baobao was particularly relaxed in bed, unlocking various positions. Zhao Xiaofei fought all the way through and finally fell on Qin Baobao exhausted.
Zhao Xiaofei asked with a smile: "What happened today? So unrestrained!"
"Isn't it good?" Qin Baobao asked.
"Okay! How can it not be good? Why don't we take a break and do it again?" Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
Qin Baobao said coquettishly: "Look at your useless look!"
"How can it be considered a failure to exert force on your own wife?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"Okay! You have a promising future! My General!" Qin Baobao said.
"Are you afraid that I will find someone locally like my elder brother, and then abandon my wife and children and become a Chen Shimei?" Zhao Xiaofei suddenly said.
Qin Baobao didn't hesitate and hummed softly. Zhao Xiaofei hugged her tighter and said, "I won't give up on you! My wife is so beautiful and such a good housekeeper. Where else can I find a wife as good as you?"
Zhao Xiaofei's sweet words warmed Qin Baobao's heart, and all the unpleasant things in the past were forgotten. Qin Baobao said, "Mom and I are looking for a partner for big brother. You won't be unhappy, right?"
"No! It's certainly a good thing that my brother can have a good home. It's just that Wang Jiamin was unlucky, and my brother found one himself." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Is Yuan Feifei really from a merchant family? She seems like the eldest daughter of an official family in the past, not very down-to-earth!" Qin Baobao said.
"My elder brother likes this! Otherwise, can she subdue my elder brother?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Xiaofei, is it very chaotic over there? Very dangerous? Tell me the truth!" Qin Baobao looked into Zhao Xiaofei's eyes and asked.
"How should I put it? For ordinary people, it is indeed dangerous. But for us, having money makes us powerful, and no one dares to do anything to us. Moreover, we have soldiers at our disposal, and we can run away when there is danger. I will not take risks for my career! I have a wife and children waiting for me at home." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Then I feel relieved!" Qin Baobao said.
In Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty, three middle-aged men were having a party on a pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River. Aside from their trusted aides, there were no women serving them on the boat. The three of them were simply eating!
A man in red said, "The Zhao brothers must die! There's no room for negotiation! It's just that they want their death to be meaningful! They want their death to be glorious, so that they won't be criticized by future generations."
A man in blue snorted coldly and said, "Those who wanted the Zhao brothers dead have met their end. Zuo Liangyu and a million-strong army couldn't do anything to them. The head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is also on their side."
The man in red said, "Look, even the Jinyiwei are on their side. They deserve to die! If they ever follow the example of Zhao Kuangyin, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be called Zhu."
At this time, a man in white said, "These brothers are still devoted to the country. Apart from being greedy for money, there is nothing special about them. A few days ago, they even submitted a memorial to the court asking for the return of the money they borrowed!"
The man in red said, "You're confused! He's afraid the court will suspect him of treason, so he's deliberately asking for money. You don't even see that? Put yourself in the Zhao brothers' shoes and think about it. If they don't rebel, do they have any way out?"
"Then what should we do? But I can't be Qin Hui!" said the man in white.
"Qin Hui is just a scapegoat. If Zhao Gou didn't want to kill him, could Yue Fei die? We will dig holes for him little by little. If the Northern Expedition fails, we will take the opportunity to give the Zhao brothers more military power and let them become princes of peace. If the Northern Expedition succeeds, the day we enter Beijing will be the day when Zhao Xiaofei dies!" said the man in red.
"It's not easy to incite the Kenan Army to rebel. Where will the money come from? How can the assassins get close to the two brothers?" said the man in blue.
"Do you think you still want to assassinate the King of Qin like you did in the past? You are wrong! Times have changed! The musket and the grenade were invented by these two brothers! We will use these two things to send them home!" said the man in red.
"Did you find it from the Kenan Army?" asked the man in white.
Just as the man in red was about to answer, a servant came over and said, "Master, I heard that Zhao Xiaofei and Zhao Xiaokun disappeared mysteriously."
"How long has it been happening?" the man in red asked anxiously.
"It's been two days! The palace's steward Xiao Si is in a manor outside the city, and now even the princess is not allowed in." said the servant.
"Go down!" said the red hat. He then said to the other two people: "Now we have something to do! I will go first."
Inside the Zhao family manor, Princess Kunxing pointed at Xiao Si and cursed, "Get out of here, you dog slave! How dare you stop me!"
"Your Highness! The prince doesn't allow anyone to disturb him while he's practicing! I can't open this door!" Xiao Si said.
"I heard that my uncle also went in, and he brought a woman with him. What happened? Will you tell me?" Princess Kunxing asked Xiao Si, staring at him.
Xiao Si knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Highness, I really don't know anything. And the prince said that even if the princess comes, she won't be allowed in. He said that if you don't practice well, you might go astray!"
At this time, Li Sihong arrived and knelt before the princess. Li Sihong said, "Princess, please return home. You are in a heavy condition, so please don't disturb the fetus!"
"Do I need you to teach me a lesson? I think you know where the prince consort has gone. Tell me!" Kunxing pointed at Li Sihong and asked.
Princess Kunxing had a reason for suddenly causing a scene at the Zhao Manor today. It was all instigated by that Liu Gongzheng, who had been paying people to keep a close eye on Zhao Xiaofei's every move. Just a few days ago, one of her spies saw Zhao Xiaofei and his eldest brother visiting the Zhao Manor with a woman. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but there's always a good reason to be criticized. With the intervention of Liu Gongzheng, this troublemaker, things have become complicated.
Liu Gongzheng came to Princess Kunxing and said, "I have come to see the princess. The servants reported that the prince consort and Admiral Zhao went to Zhao's manor and brought a woman with them."
Princess Kunxing put down the bowl in her hand, stopped drinking the milk and asked, "Who is that woman?"
"Princess! I heard from the servants that the back is facing the deceased Concubine Yuan!" Liu Gongzheng said.
"What? Did she see it clearly?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"I swear to heaven, that lowly maid is definitely not wrong! If this is true, defiling the palace is a serious crime!" After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at the princess.
"Let's go! Prepare the car! Let's go to the manor and take a look! I don't want to see any mess happening! Bring two loyal guards with you! No matter who that woman is, kill her for me!" Princess Kunxing said.
