Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 137: Taking advantage of the Six Princes
Chapter 137
Qin Zhao thought of her agreement with Qin Song, to speak well of him in front of the Emperor.
Although the agreement was void due to the breakdown of their relationship, Qin Zhao still wanted to give him a push.
Of course, this push was malicious.
Apart from being jealous of himself, Qin Zheng was also somewhat jealous of other princes!
Whoever dared to be the leader, his days would not be easy.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is wise and prudent, and he also treats the brothers and sisters very well.
He is a good brother to your son.
So your son thinks the Sixth Prince is capable of important tasks."
Qin Zheng looked at Qin Zhao with examining eyes, trying to see if she said this from her heart.
After a long while, he nodded, "Hmm, I will consider your suggestion carefully. Retreat."
Qin Zhao got up, "Your son retires."
On the way back, Qin Zhao was thinking, should she get rid of Qin Lie first, or Qin Song?
After thinking it over, Qin Zhao decided that whoever was named Crown Prince, she would let him suffer first!
Before the emperor's death, these princes could not be safe and sound.
Otherwise, it would pose a great obstacle to her way of seizing power.
The day after summoning Qin Zhao, the Emperor issued an edict ordering the Sixth Prince Qin Song to go to Min Prefecture to deal with the epidemic there!
When Qin Song received the edict, he was discussing with the counselors in his mansion how to expand the power of his faction.
After receiving the edict, Qin Song was stunned.
Every year, various places in Yue Country would have epidemics of varying severity due to sanitation reasons.
The common point was that there would definitely be deaths from the epidemic, and the number would not be small.
If he went, he might die because of this!
Qin Song went back to the hall with the edict, his face pale, and asked, "What do you think is the reason behind Father Emperor's move?"
Counselor Tan worriedly said, "The emperor favors the Third Prince. Your Highness and the Second Prince are competitors of the Third Prince.
His Majesty did this probably to clear obstacles for the Third Prince!"
These words made everyone's faces sink.
Someone who was dissatisfied with Counselor Tan's overly straightforward words said, "Mr. Tan, don't make random remarks!
His Majesty and His Highness are father and son. His Majesty would not be so cruel to His Highness!"
Counselor Tan said, "The imperial family is the most heartless. Your Excellency should not have too many illusions about the affection within the imperial family."
The man wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Qin Song, "Enough!"
The two glared at each other and said nothing more.
Qin Song asked, "Counselor Tan, what do you think we should do?"
Counselor Tan replied, "I think Your Highness can pretend to be ill and not go out.
You must not take risks with your own life, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the ministers who support you."
Qin Song nodded, "You make sense."
At this time, another person interjected, "Your Highness, my spy said that His Majesty summoned Princess Zhao Yang yesterday. Today this happened.
The servant thinks there must be some connection between the two things.
I suggest you first test Princess Zhao Yang's attitude before making a decision."
When it came to Qin Zhao, Qin Song's face showed a look of disgust.
He said, "I and Zhao Yang are on bad terms.
She won't tell me anything about Father Emperor."
"Your Highness, there are no entanglements of interest between the imperial siblings, unlike the estrangement between brothers that is difficult to reconcile.
As long as you are willing to make an effort, you can definitely improve your relationship with Princess Zhao Yang."
"What do you mean?"
"Princess Zhao Yang is just a woman. Her daily pleasures are nothing more than jewelry.
Take a few treasures from Your Highness's mansion and send them to her. Won't she obediently call you Sixth Prince?"
Qin Song slapped his thigh, "Good idea! I will send gifts right away!"
In the afternoon, Qin Zhao received various gems sent by Qin Song.
Zhao Yang Princess's Mansion, Front Courtyard.
Qin Zhao picked up the pearls and gold ornaments, glanced at them, and threw them back into the box.
There was also an invitation to go boating.
It was also casually folded by Qin Zhao and thrown into the wastepaper basket. 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com
Cong Han asked, "Doesn't Your Highness like these jewels?"
Qin Zhao said, "The things in the box are not worth one-tenth of the treasures I sent him.
He wants to dismiss me with this, he really looks down on me too much.
Tell someone to return it to Qin Song."
"Yes."
When Qin Song learned that Qin Zhao had returned the gifts, he was furious and beat the attendant who had delivered the gifts severely!
After that, he went directly to Qin Zhao's mansion himself to ask her for an explanation.
Qin Song waited in the hall for half a hour before Qin Zhao appeared.
She sat in the main seat, leisurely sipping tea.
Qin Song could not bear it anymore and asked, "Sister, what do you mean?
Why didn't you accept the rare treasures I sent you?"
Qin Zhao raised her eyelids and glanced at Qin Song. Her casual attitude angered Qin Song again.
He almost gritted his back teeth. Then he heard Qin Zhao say, "The so-called treasures you sent, my mansion is also full of them.
They are probably already moldy.
You are the Sixth Prince. How can you send such shabby stuff?
You dare to send it, I dare not accept it."
Qin Song was burning with anger, but he still had to pretend to be gentle.
He asked word for word, "Then what does the princess want?"
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Don't trouble the Sixth Prince to personally select them. I can just go and take them from your treasury myself."
Qin Song slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Qin Zhao's nose, "Zhao Yang, you! You..."
Qin Zhao leaned back tactically and raised her arm to protect herself. "Elder brother, what are you trying to do? Think clearly, this is my mansion!"
Qin Song suddenly smiled and said, "You are so thoughtful that you even think of such trivial matters, not wanting your elder brother to be bothered.
Fine, just go and pick them yourself."
"Pfft!"
Seeing Qin Song's forced smile, Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Qin Zhao so rampant, Qin Song was even more depressed, but he had no choice but to endure it silently.
He was so aggrieved that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all felt bitter!
Qin Zhao was worried that she couldn't carry too many treasures alone, so she asked Ling Long, Shen Xue, Cong Han to each bring a big box.
She also called three helpers to follow Qin Song to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Qin Song was ashen-faced all the way, not even bothering to pretend.
Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Qin Zhao was secretly delighted.
She silently said to the deceased Zhao Yang Princess: I have taken advantage for you!
When the group entered Qin Song's treasury and saw the dazzling treasures, they were all a little excited.
Qin Zhao gave an order: "Pack them for me!"
Ling Long, Cong Han, and Shen Xue rushed out immediately!
The three vied with each other to pick treasures, with their mouths grinning to their ears.
This was not choosing gifts.
It was obviously stocking up!
Seeing the scene before him, Qin Song's eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground!
