Chapter 318 Do Not Participate
"I'm exhausted, hurry up and get ready, I need to wash up."
The Seventh Prince's personal eunuch, seeing the Seventh Prince complaining but with a smile on his face, knew what was going on. He smiled and went to fetch the Seventh Prince's cloak.
"You've worked hard, Master. The water has been prepared long ago, just waiting for your return."
“How can serving Father Emperor be considered tiring? It’s just that Father Emperor takes you out every day, so it’s a bit busy.”
Since the incident on the ship, the Seventh Prince has tried everything he can, but he is afraid that the Emperor will have a problem with him.
For several days in a row, the emperor's attitude towards him was not good, which made the seventh prince a little anxious. He had always been favored by the emperor and was fearless, but he was also clear-headed. He knew that he could act arrogantly in the palace because of his mother, but more so because the emperor liked him as his son.
After arriving at the Zhen family, the Seventh Prince was kept very busy, being extremely attentive all the way. This finally won back the Emperor's favor, and for several days in a row, the Emperor would invite him along every time he went out. The Seventh Prince's gloomy face finally brightened up.
How could a servant not know his master's thoughts? The personal eunuch chuckled.
"It's my fault, my stupid mouth!"
This bracelet. It's because it earned the Emperor's trust that the Emperor always wanted to take his master along.
The seventh prince was extremely proud of himself. From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish if he wanted to.
The Seventh Prince took a relaxing bath, and when he came out, his bodyguards arrived.
The seventh prince knew this was a reply from his brother and dismissed the eunuch.
The guard respectfully handed over the Sixth Prince's reply, and the Seventh Prince frowned upon reading it.
His brother told him not to act rashly, and that he could feign compliance with the second son of the Zhen family, but should not truly believe him.
The seventh prince was puzzled. Did his brother not trust him to handle things here?
This is such a good thing! The Zhen family has always been arrogant and domineering because of the old Dowager Consort's help to the Emperor, and now that the Imperial Consort has a son.
If the Zhen family can seize this incriminating evidence, and with the second son of the Zhen family supporting him, the entire Zhen family can become an ally of his brother. And what about the huge profits from the salt fields! If he can grasp this opportunity and then take control of the salt fields in Jiangnan, it will give his brother another bargaining chip in his path to that position.
Is this the only letter?
The Seventh Prince asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is only one letter. The Sixth Prince once said that if Your Majesty does not understand after reading the letter, he would have me tell Your Majesty that the Emperor may be going to take action against the Zhen family, and Your Majesty should not get involved to protect yourself."
"What did you say? How could this be true?"
The Seventh Prince was astonished. He had personally witnessed how his father treated the Zhen family.
Compared to his interactions with other officials on the road, the Emperor's favor towards the Zhen family was truly remarkable. If the Emperor truly intended to harm the Zhen family, why would he trust them so much that he allowed them to stay at their residence, and why would he always have the old man and his son from the Zhen family accompany him when he went out?
"This servant dares not speak presumptuously. These words were spoken to this servant by the Sixth Prince himself, who asked this servant to relay them to his master."
"Impossible, impossible! Brother must have heard rumors from someone and received incorrect information. Based on what I saw with my own eyes, the Emperor's trust in the Zhen family is extraordinary, and few families can compare to it."
"Wait here, I'll write another letter, and you can deliver it to my brother personally."
The Seventh Prince wondered if someone knew about the Second Son of the Zhen family's defection and was stirring up trouble to prevent them from gaining any support.
