Chapter 150 (Additional chapters will be added when the total number of votes reaches 600)
"Nonsense! The Prime Minister is the Regent Princess's adoptive father. Even if the Regent wants to do it, the Princess won't agree. Everyone knows that the Regent is henpecked!"
Since Lord Wang and the Fourth Prince wanted to take action, Xie Lixing's men naturally wouldn't just sit there and watch.
The Fourth Prince is feeling very aggrieved now.
He finally got on the Prime Minister's boat, but Xie Lixing overturned it!
Wouldn't this make all his recent efforts go to waste?
If he had known earlier, he should have targeted Xie Lixing first!
"Fourth brother, it's better not to say anything without evidence. If you say that, it will chill the regent's heart." The second prince, who has always been honest and dutiful, spoke like a good guy.
The second prince's words almost made the fourth prince's expression collapse.
He always thought that the second prince was an honest man and had no maternal family to rely on, so he would not have any thoughts about any powerful official.
result--
Okay, okay, the second brother wants to sell a thank-you gift, that’s fine, right?
"Brother, that's not what I meant. When you asked to marry the Regent Princess, didn't you fall off your horse the next day? This matter has not been fully investigated yet."
The fourth prince mentioned that the second prince wanted to marry Yueli.
He felt that since Xie Lixing was so protective and jealous, he would definitely remember that the second prince had coveted Yueli in the past.
No one can win over those he cannot win over.
The Second Prince replied with a chuckle, "Fourth brother, don't mention such nonsense anymore. I was just offering a suggestion. Don't worry, don't worry!"
The emperor sat upstairs, watching the fourth prince bite everyone like a mad dog, and frowned and scolded him.
"Fourth Brother! Where's the evidence?"
The emperor's question made the fourth brother successfully restrain all his arrogance.
He has no evidence.
At this moment, we can only obey the emperor's orders and shut up if there is no evidence.
But he was unwilling to give up!
Since Xie Lixing did not suppress the rebellion, the emperor felt that his sons were going to rebel!
He was so angry that he stormed out.
After the emperor left, the second prince left with a smile, as if he really had no ulterior motives.
The Crown Prince turned to look at the Second Prince, then at the Fourth Prince, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Fourth brother, why are you so anxious?" Xie Lixing's power was so huge, how easy would it be to eliminate him?
He wouldn't think that just a few casual words from him could bring down Xie Lixing, right?
Innocent!
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly: "I'm not in a hurry."
He is just worried about his energy!
Xie Lixing heard about the commotion in the court after he got up. He found the Fourth Prince's behavior amusing and said, "Go, knock down one of his underground casinos and make him behave himself."
"yes!"
The ninth and tenth brothers stepped forward to respond.
After the two left, Xie Lixing turned to look at Lao Liu and Lao Qi, "You two should tell me everything that happened in the court in detail."
The two nodded and recounted the scene to Xie Lixing.
The sixth and seventh princes played different roles and spoke different words, deliberately showing the Second Prince helping Xie Lixing.
The Sixth Prince felt that the Second Prince was a decent person.
The seventh brother should be smart. The second prince's actions are clearly intended to take advantage of the situation and gain favor in front of their prince while his prince is not taking sides.
Xie Lixing listened and nodded, "I understand."
"Your Highness, does the Second Prince need any help?" asked the Seventh Prince.
Normally, if it involves the princess, his prince will not let the other party go easily.
When asked how the Second Prince would handle the situation, Xie Lixing thought about what the Second Prince had done.
At that time, the second prince was still young and had no support from his mother's family. He wanted to intervene and marry Yueli, who had a good relationship with the seventh prince.
In fact, if Xie Lixing had not interfered, the emperor would have granted Yueli a marriage.
The person to whom the marriage was arranged was the hardworking Second Prince.
Even though Liu Yuanzhou was keeping Yueli hanging, he had no intention of asking for Yueli's hand in marriage. Especially when the second prince expressed his intention to marry Yueli, he backed off even more.
I have no intention of confronting the Second Prince head-on.
Neither of them had any support from their mother's clan, and both were secretly trying to win over the court officials...
However, after failing to marry Yueli, the second prince completely calmed down and was no longer ambitious. Instead, he started to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures and be a good person.
Of course, even if he behaves like this, others will not think that he will be honest and not fight for it.
Instead, he lies dormant, waiting for an opportunity.
…
Second Prince's Mansion
"You shouldn't do that."
After the Second Prince came back, his staff immediately denied what he had done today.
They had finally faded out of the spotlight of the fight for the throne, but now all their efforts over the years have been wasted.
"Sir, there's no need to panic. I jumped out on purpose."
The Second Prince explained his plan to his staff, who frowned, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit too risky?"
If it succeeds, it’s fine. If it fails, they will become sitting ducks for the others!
The Second Prince shook his head: "With my father behind me, I won't allow others to do anything absurd."
In recent years, he has not only faded out of the fight for the throne, but has also been secretly trying to gain the emperor's favor. As long as the emperor wants to do something and Xie Lixing has not done it yet, he will do it in advance.
Of course, those things were all "accidental".
As an honest man, how could he have such a smart side?
He just wants to be stupid!
After his performance in the past few years, the emperor finally believed that he was a dull child and his trust in him increased greatly.
Therefore, his good father would not allow other smart sons to bully him.
Seeing the Second Prince's decision, the staff fell silent.
Let's just hope that things develop as their prince expected...
"Your Highness, Sir, we have news from outside that the Fourth Prince's gambling house has been sealed off." The Second Prince's men suddenly came hurriedly and told the two of them about this.
The only person who could shut down the Fourth Prince's gambling house so quickly was Xie Lixing.
It seems that offending Xie Lixing is indeed not a wise move.
The staff looked at the Second Prince and said, "Now that the Regent has not made a move against you, it's clear that he has no intention of doing so. We can keep a low profile for the next two days."
The Second Prince nodded in agreement.
The fourth brother will definitely not let it go after suffering this loss.
It's time for him to leave for now.
Compared to the tranquility of the Second Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was in a state of noise and commotion. The Fourth Prince was so angry that he kept smashing things in the front hall.
Xie Lixing is a real jerk. The gambling house he shut down was the most profitable one among his three gambling houses!
Xie Lixing was warning him, warning him not to act rashly again, otherwise, no gambling house would leave him any money.
"Why does he do that?" the Fourth Prince roared.
The staff looked at each other, and then tried to persuade the Fourth Prince.
"Your Highness, please be patient. We can no longer oppose the Regent. We need to recuperate." If we continue to oppose him, the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince will have to sit back and watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits!
