Chapter 410: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co
After Eunuch Xiao Linzi delivered the oral instructions, everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion was a little confused. Only Prince Zhao and his son had gloomy expressions, and Shi Shu was already kneeling on the ground and unable to get up.
"Young eunuch, please stay..."
King Zhao swallowed the humiliation and respectfully stopped Xiao Linzi who was about to leave.
"His Majesty said that if you stop me, I will tell you one more thing.
Shi Miaomiao, the youngest daughter of the Shi family, is gentle, virtuous, intelligent and clever.
Your Majesty has specially appointed him as the sole heir to all the property of the Shi family, and has full authority to take charge of the Shi family's wealth, mansions, fields, shops and other properties.
His authority cannot be questioned, nor can it be coveted by others.
No one is allowed to attempt to meddle with the Shi family's assets. If anyone disobeys, Your Majesty will punish them severely to ensure the smooth succession of the young lady of the Shi family and the prosperity of the Shi family."
After Eunuch Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for King Zhao to speak again.
After everyone left, King Zhao sat down on the ground dejectedly.
This was the first time he had acted so disregardingly since he became an adult, but he did not expect that his plot would be directly pointed out by His Majesty without even showing any mercy.
At this moment, King Zhao even wondered if the family had some hidden card that he didn't know about, as even the decree was announced by that unknown eunuch.
It was inevitable that Prince Zhao's palace would fall from favor...
"Father, we can't wait any longer!!"
Xiao Yichen frowned and looked at King Zhao, who had no image at all, and spoke boldly.
"So, what are you going to do?"
King Zhao asked, holding his chest and looking at his own "barbecued pork buns".
"We... overthrow..."
Before Xiao Yichen could finish his words, King Zhao hit him on the head with a big bump.
"You bastard, if our family really had this kind of strength, would I, your father, have been your grandson for so many years?"
Unfortunately, King Zhao’s words were not recognized by Xiao Yichen.
He didn't think he was any less than his current father. Even the insults he received these days had completely shattered the little sanity he had left.
As the new generation master of Prince Zhao's Mansion, he knew some deeper secrets even better than his elder brother.
For example, how many secret agents does Prince Zhao have in the palace? Some of them were even the secret agents that my grandmother had placed in the palace back then. Although they weren't many, there was actually one who became a eunuch around His Majesty...
Prince Zhao's Mansion had never used this relationship before, but now, as the new generation of master of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Xiao Yichen decided to commit a treasonous act under impulse.
Just as his concubine Li said, he was a unique man in the world, how could he be humiliated like this.
In the inner hall of the palace, candlelight flickered, and light and shadows were mottled and intertwined on the walls.
Xiao Jingyuan sat behind the imperial desk, wearing a black uniform embroidered with golden dragon patterns, his expression cold and focused.
Although the memorials around him were piled up like mountains, he had already dealt with them.
At this moment, his slender fingers held the paintbrush, dipped the ink, mixed the colors, and outlined. His movements were done in one go, and he painted the wonderful picture that he had already imagined in his mind on the rice paper.
This is what he has been doing since he met Miaomiao...
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared in the hall silently like a ghost and knelt on one knee. It was Xiao Jingyuan's secret guard.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Prince Zhao's Mansion."
The secret guard's voice was low and hoarse, and it was particularly clear in this quiet palace.
The brush in Xiao Jingyuan's hand paused slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to paint on the paper, seemingly not affected by this at all.
"Tell me, what did those two idiots do over at Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
Long before he asked Xiao Linzi to convey the imperial edict, he had already guessed that even if King Zhao could tolerate it, Xiao Yichen was an out-and-out playboy.
Xiao Jingyuan's voice was light, but it carried a chilling majesty.
The secret guard lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Xiao Jingyuan's eyes, and whispered what the prince did after Xiao Linzi announced the decree.
It even said that the Crown Prince had used a secret agent that was previously left in the palace by Prince Zhao's Mansion. The secret agent and the secret guard knew about it and had been dealt with by His Majesty a few days ago...
Xiao Jingyuan sneered, and the laughter echoed in the empty palace, revealing endless chill.
"That's faster than I thought. Just as his father said, he's worse than a piece of barbecued pork."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. His patience with Xiao Yichen, who was ignorant of his own danger, had long been exhausted.
Since Miaomiao's identity as an ungrateful cousin has been eliminated from the Shi Mansion, everything that happens in Prince Zhao's Mansion next has nothing to do with the Shi Mansion. This is what he wants.
So, it’s almost time to close the net.
"Someone, tell Guo Jian to come forward!"
After the secret guard left, the palace was silent, with only the occasional crackling sound from the flickering candlelight.
His eyes were fixed on the painting, and the deep affection in his eyes seemed to burn the picture. It was a love and greed that went deep into his bones, as if the whole world was left with only Miaomiao in the painting, and everything else became a blurred background.
"Miao Miao will forgive me, right?"
Xiao Jingyuan muttered to himself, his voice low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be your husband..."
Xiao Jingyuan looked at the painting in front of him, and could still recall the stunning glimpse he got when he saw Miaomiao in her pink dress during the day.
Obsessive love and a strong possessive desire burned in his eyes. He longed to lock Miaomiao tightly beside him, so that she would only have him in her eyes and heart. This thought was like a vine that twisted wildly in his heart, tightening more and more, almost suffocating him...
"Your Majesty, Guo Zhen requests an audience."
Xiao Shunzi stood at the door of the imperial study and did not come closer.
"Let Guo Zhen come in."
Xiao Jingyuan did not touch the painting on the table, but walked down directly, just in time to see Guo Zhen walking hurriedly towards him.
"His Majesty."
Guo Zhen now knows that the woman he saw in the Imperial Household Department before was not a spy from the enemy country as he thought, but the future queen of His Majesty.
However, he had already found out the birth date and time, but His Majesty told him to wait for instructions before releasing it.
“Tomorrow morning at court, you can tell us who the queen is.
How's your surveillance going at Prince Zhao's Mansion? Have you found anything?"
Guo Zhen didn't expect that His Majesty had guessed it, and hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Zhao Palace, Xiao Yichen, used a secret method in the evening to contact a young eunuch in your palace. However, that young eunuch had already been eliminated by you during the last purge.
This is the note we found, and the poison the other party left behind.”
Guo Zhen had been the commander of the imperial guards for such a long time, but he had never seen such a simple and crude method of rebellion. It was astonishing!
"Then close the net. Imprison everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion!"
