Chapter 319 The Arrangements of the Sixth Prince
The Seventh Prince suspected something was amiss. They were far away in Jiangnan, so how could his elder brother in the capital know that their father wanted to take action against the Zhen family?
Could it be that this was all along? But there are no secrets that last forever in the palace. No matter how much the Zhen family looks down on them, they have produced two generations of imperial concubines. How could they not even see these clues?
My brother is far away in the capital and may not understand, so I must get it for him here in Jiangnan.
The seventh prince quickly wrote the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and handed it to the guard.
"Get it to my brother as quickly as possible; this is a very important matter."
After thinking for a moment, the Seventh Prince told the guards about what had happened in Jiangnan in the past few days, and how much his father favored the Zhen family.
“Besides this letter, you should tell your brother all these things when you see him.”
The more the prince forbade him to do it, the more he saw the Zhen family as a piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of. Now that the second son of the Zhen family was willing to surrender, this was a good opportunity to win back the Zhen family. He couldn't let others get there first.
After receiving the order, the secret guard first arranged for someone to send an urgent message to the capital, and then found Zhou's advisor.
Zhou, the advisor, also did not fall asleep. After washing up, he lay in bed for a long time but could not fall asleep. Finally, he sat up and asked the servants to light a lamp so he could sit at the table and read.
Seeing that there was suddenly another person in the room, he was startled and was about to call for the guards when he was stopped by the secret guards who took out a token.
It was the Sixth Prince's token. Zhou's advisor was indicating that he wanted to be released, and he already knew that.
The guards released him.
"My master has given the order."
As he spoke, the guard also took out a letter. Zhou, the advisor, had been feeling uneasy all night, and now he was indeed summoned. Something had happened. He took the letter and read it, and his head started to ache.
Once the guard confirmed that he had finished reading, he took the lamp and immediately burned it.
"The master's instructions are all in the letter. You must follow the master's arrangements and not betray the master's trust in you."
After speaking, the guard darted out the window.
Zhou, the advisor, got up and closed the window. Looking at the ashes of the letter with a headache, he realized that following the Seventh Prince in the first place was a mistake. He shouldn't have initially thought the Seventh Prince was reckless, but given his young age and the Sixth Prince's orders to restrain him, the Seventh Prince was not someone to be trifled with! When he got angry, he didn't care about anything. He was just an advisor; how could he possibly make decisions?
Now his master has sent another letter, instructing him to keep a close eye on the Seventh Prince, to prevent the Seventh Prince from spending too much time with the Zhen family, and to warn him not to accept anything from the Zhen family.
They are currently living in the Zhen family's residence, so how could they avoid contact with the Zhen family members? Furthermore, the Sixth Prince's letter implies that the Seventh Prince met with some members of the Zhen family without his knowledge, which presents him with a major problem.
Within the Zhen family compound, some families rejoiced while others grieved.
"Oh my, you know, Jinhe is really promising. Once Jinxiu enters the palace, things will look more and more promising."
The first wife sat down on the edge of the bed, in an extremely good mood.
Zhen Chenhao smiled and said:
"That's for sure. The Empress in the palace is my own sister. She would definitely think of us when there are good things. It's just that you really shouldn't have had a conflict with your sister-in-law today."
"So, according to you, I did something wrong! Should I let her point at my face and say I can't read, to make her seem so learned?"
Besides, what's the use of knowing so many words? Now that we're in this courtyard, everyone still has to listen to me in everything."
The first wife was unwilling. She and that woman were always trying to outdo each other. Today she gained something, but she also suffered a loss.
