"Huai'er, Rong'er, from now on, I give you brothers three days to work together to capture the Beiyan assassin. I will make you kings. If you fail to catch him..."

Emperor Wen Zhao said coldly: "Then go to the frontier to hone your skills."

Jun Minhuai bowed his head and clasped his fists. The Ministry of Revenue had lost, but the emperor gave him another date. A faint smile of determination appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, father."

If he is crowned as a king, his status will be raised to a higher level, and he won't have to be humble and submissive in front of Jun Yichen, that sickly person.

Jun Minrong was also delighted. His father still had a fondness for him and had not forgotten him when he was made king.

Prime Minister Zhou also nodded in satisfaction. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince had made great contributions in suppressing the bandits last time. If they could capture the spy this time, they would be qualified to be crowned as king. If they were crowned as king, it would further consolidate the prestige of the Fourth Prince in the hearts of the ministers.

When Master Zhuang saw that the emperor had arranged everything properly, he asked, "Your Majesty, is it necessary to hold a banquet for Concubine Xiao's birthday tomorrow?"

Emperor Wen Zhao looked calm and clenched his fists: "The Imperial Concubine's birthday must be celebrated. Could it be that we won't celebrate it just because of a little spy from Bei Yan? Could it be that I, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, am really afraid of her?"

Then Emperor Wen Zhao rubbed his brows again and said in a cold voice: "Do it, and do it in a big way. I want to see what kind of gift this third princess of Yan, Yeluzhu, will give to my beloved concubine."

He waved his hand: "Everyone retreat, I am tired!"

"Yes."

Everyone retreated.

Emperor Wen Zhao had not been in good health since the last time the Dark Baby absorbed the country's fortune. His complexion was also bad. He used to be slightly fat, but now he looked thinner.

After everyone left the Imperial Study, they saw Concubine Shu standing guard at the door of the Imperial Study.

Everyone had different expressions and bowed to Concubine Shu: "Your Highness, we greet you."

"I'm here to bring some sweet soup to the emperor. If you have anything to do, please go and do it."

"Yes."

After a while, Eunuch Lin came out and welcomed Concubine Shu in.

Ever since this Concubine Shu opened the palace gates, things in the harem have changed.

The emperor has been favoring Concubine Shu these days, and he rarely visits even his beloved Empress, let alone Concubine Xiao and other concubines!

However, although Concubine Shu gave birth to the third prince, her appearance and figure did not change much, just like a young girl. Time and sorrow did not leave any traces on her, and she hid it very well.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The Fourth Prince's Residence

Jun Minhuai sat at the desk, tapping the desk with his index finger from time to time, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Jun Minrong sat on one side and asked: "Fourth brother, do you have a plan to capture the Third Princess of Beiyan?"

Jun Minhuai glanced at Jun Minrong calmly and said, "This prince guesses that tomorrow is my mother's birthday, the Third Princess of Beiming will definitely disguise herself and blend in with them, and what we need to do is to lure the snake out of its hole and catch the turtle in the jar."

Prime Minister Zhou nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. Princess Beiyan is good at disguise, and we just need to lure her out."

Jun Minhuai's eyes darkened slightly: "But her illusion is very strange, we need to plan it carefully to ensure that it is foolproof."

Jun Minrong sighed, "Yes, we must be absolutely sure. Today, the Minister of Revenue was killed and all his property was confiscated. It's already a huge loss."

Jun Minhuai rubbed his forehead, he really had a headache, Jiang Yan was his gold trove, the financial support behind him, but Jiang Yan was lustful.
