Chapter 95: Beheading on the Spot
But some ministers had an ugly look on their faces that was hard to conceal.
After the morning court session, the Prime Minister was stopped by the Sixth Prince's men. "Prime Minister, my master invites you to the Imperial Garden for a chat."
Prime Minister Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes and winked at his servants.
When only the two of them were present, Wei Zhongxian asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to discuss with me, Sixth Prince?"
The Sixth Prince's servant was not afraid: "The Prime Minister will know when he arrives for the appointment."
Imperial Garden.
"The Prime Minister is very busy with official business and is rarely seen. Why is his face so stern now? Who has displeased him?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard the mocking tone of the Sixth Prince Yuchi She, his face turned even darker.
"Sixth Prince, if you have anything to say, please speak up. If not, please excuse me and take my leave."
A cold light flashed in Yuchi She's eyes, and he sneered:
"The Prime Minister doesn't even want to act. Why? Now that the Crown Prince is so prominent, does the Prime Minister want to abandon the dark and join the light, abandoning me as a pawn?"
Wei Zhongxian frowned and spoke angrily:
"Your Highness, have you forgotten who it was that ignored my humble advice and repeatedly ambushed and assassinated the Crown Prince along his route?"
The other party's assassination attempt on Yuchi Shuo made him alert, which ruined his original plan to assassinate in Liangcheng!
If it weren't for the Sixth Prince, how could the Crown Prince stand in his way?
Now, the ministers in the court have defected to the prince's side, and his power is not as strong as before. His Majesty also values the prince more. All this is thanks to the stupid Yuchi She!
"The Sixth Prince was so impatient that he ruined his plan, and now he blames me, a humble minister. How can this be justified!"
These words obviously made Yuchi She embarrassed. Veins bulged on his forehead, and even the last trace of his nobility disappeared.
"Your plan! If your plan was foolproof, why would you have allowed Yuchi Shuo to live safely until now?!"
Wei Zhongxian had a look of contempt on his face. He was eager for quick success and his character was not comparable to that of the prince. He also did not know how to conceal his self-control.
If Yuchi She didn't have the secret door in his hand, he would never have gotten on the same boat with him!
"Sixth Prince, we are in the palace, and there are many people watching. Please pay attention to your manners."
After saying this, Wei Zhongxian was about to leave, but Yuchi She's eyes darkened and he lowered his voice and said:
"Since you know the art of witchcraft, why don't you use it directly on Yuchi Shuo?!"
The Prime Minister was immediately surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that Yuchi She would be so stupid as to dare to bring up this matter in the palace.
"Sixth Prince! This is the palace. If you don't want your life, I still want it!"
After hearing this, Yuchi She finally came to his senses a little, but his expression clearly showed that he still couldn't understand why the Prime Minister didn't use witchcraft on Yuchi Shuo.
Yuchi She had witnessed the wonders of witchcraft. Once a person was possessed by the insect, he would become like a walking corpse and no longer a human being!
However, this prime minister had only been thinking about such a low-level assassination method from beginning to end. How could Yuchi She believe that the other party really wanted to kill the prince?
"Once the trump card is out, it's gone. If someone else is chosen as the crown prince after the crown prince, what will the Sixth Prince do?!"
Yuchi She was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that this was the Prime Minister's idea.
"Without the Crown Prince, how could Father appoint someone else as the Crown Prince?"
Among these princes, except for the crown prince who is his rival, the others are no match for him at all. His father does not think highly of him either, so why should he worry?
The Prime Minister showed disappointment on his face and said:
"Sixth Prince, you are confused! Wasn't the Emperor's intention clear in the palace today? If anyone reveals any intention of coveting the throne, even the Crown Prince will be affected. Not to mention brothers killing each other for the throne!"
Precisely because the Sixth Prince is the only one who can compete with the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince should be more cautious!
It took Yuchi She a while to realize the truth behind this, but he still looked at the Prime Minister with some doubt:
"If we can't use our trump cards, what are our chances of winning?"
"Don't forget, the current situation in the court is different from what it was before!"
Wei Zhongxian's tone was not very good:
"Just be cautious in the court. I will naturally help you with other matters." He paused and said in a deep voice:
"If the Sixth Prince loses his temper again like before and gives the Crown Prince a handle, no one will be able to help you."
After the Sixth Prince's men escorted the Prime Minister out of the palace, a shadow guard came to report on the way back home.
"Report, a letter from Zong Hao, addressed to the master himself."
The successive blows had already exhausted the Prime Minister, and when he heard the letter from Zong Hao, his face became even more solemn.
Why did he write to me? Could something have happened in Liangcheng?
The carriage continued to move forward, but Wei Zhongxian's expression became more and more serious as the content of the letter read.
When Wei Zhongxian saw that Gu Lang's daughter Gu Feixue had close contacts with the Liangcheng prefect and Zheng Yannian, he tore the letter in his hand into pieces in an instant.
Gu Lang! Even your daughter is going against me!
After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Zhongxian wrote back to Zong Hao. "Keep watching. If there's any sign of trouble, execute them on the spot."
Liangcheng.
Several days had passed since the battle with the men in black. Gu Feixue had increased the number of protective personnel in the Gu family, and even brought two people with her.
Of course, they were not servants, after all, strictly speaking, the Gu family had no servants.
There are a few disciples who learn martial arts with her. Although their martial arts skills are not as good as hers, they are good enough to hold the scene.
On this day, Gu Feixue disguised herself as a man and brought people to a new shop in the city to check out the decoration situation.
I found out that it would be completed in a few days, and then I could start selling down jackets.
It is late autumn now, so I will sell some thin down jackets first to see the market feedback.
Of course, when selling clothes, in addition to selecting the inner material, the fabric of the clothes also needs to be carefully selected.
The cotton fabric is embroidered on top and filled with warm and fragrant goose down. It will definitely be loved by the rich girls in Liangcheng.
Although duck down jackets are not so fancy, they are still thick enough. Even if they do not look as finely made as goose down, they are definitely better than cotton and linen clothes for keeping out the cold.
In fact, this duck down jacket is almost half sold and half given away. Apart from the cost, Gu Feixue basically makes no profit.
What she wanted was to increase her market visibility and accumulate some merit at the same time, both at once.
"Master, when did you take over the shop?"
The two apprentices were very surprised to see that the shop, which was originally a teahouse, was now decorated like a clothing store.
Especially Gu Yan, who usually has a carefree personality, opened her round eyes wide and looked around and touched things in the shop.
Gu Qi on the side was very calm and composed, like a disciple of Gu Feixue.
"Okay, you two are the only ones who know about this. Don't tell anyone when you get home, okay?"
Gu Yan said with some regret: "Can't you even tell Chunxiang and the others?"
Gu Feixue thought about it and thought those girls were quite tight-lipped, so she said:
"They can say it, but no one else can, especially my parents and brother. They can't know a single word."
She hasn't figured out how to explain to Gu Lang and Wang Shi that Yuchi Shuo spent five hundred taels on ginseng before. She didn't dare to tell them before that the Gu family was short of money.
Now that the Gu family is not short of money, they might send it back to the owner in its original state.
