The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

The Third Prince patted the Eighth Prince on the shoulder and said, "You asked about this matter just in time. There may be some misunderstanding. My mother must have misunderstood me. What I told my mother was about the Xie family. I still need to consider it. I didn't say I would deal with them."

"This matter should not be exposed to the public. You also said that the Xie family is now at the center of the storm. If we take action against them at this time, it will be easy for us to catch them, so don't rush to act."

"Of course, don't tell anyone else about your visit today, lest it get to my mother's ears and make her think too much, and you would inadvertently offend her."

The Eighth Prince also knew that by coming to the Third Prince for confirmation, he was offending Concubine Wan, but he did not think he had done anything wrong.

He just felt that compared to Concubine Wan, his third brother was more reliable.

After all, it will be my third brother who will ascend the throne in the future, and it will definitely not be Concubine Wan. As long as my third brother values ​​me, that's enough.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the Eighth Prince agreed with a smile.

"Don't worry, Third Brother. If you don't let me tell you, I definitely won't tell you. So what should we do next?"

"If Third Brother is still considering whether to target the Xie family, then is it inconvenient for us to take action? Or should we just not take action? If we don't take action, how should I explain to my mother?"

The eighth prince realized belatedly that he seemed a little reckless. He ran to his third brother to show his loyalty without thinking of a plan, but he was not thinking about the consequences.

Things have not been thought through, and now all the problems are thrown onto the third brother.

But third brother is smarter than me, so he should be able to come up with a solution?

The Third Prince said directly, "I still need to think about these things. The matter of dealing with the Xie family must be brought up again after the storm has passed. Now is not the right time. Go back and tell Shunpin the truth."

"I still say the same thing. Don't tell anyone except your mother about your secret visit to see me. Don't tell anyone else about our meeting today. Just let your mother know. I will discuss a solution with my mother."

After hearing this, the Eighth Prince felt a great sense of accomplishment.

It seems that I have come to the right place this time. Although it is not a blind cat catching a dead mouse, it is almost the same.

At least the third brother approved of his actions!

"Well, thanks to me for asking. Since Third Brother is still considering it, I will not take action against the Xie family for the time being and let them go!"

After the Eighth Prince expressed his loyalty, he had to inform his mother, so he did not stay any longer and left happily.

However, the Eighth Prince was happy, but the Third Prince was not happy at all. He disappeared as soon as the Eighth Prince left.

With a "bang", the third prince slammed the table heavily, and with a sweep of his hand, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Mo Yu, who was outside the house, heard the noise and immediately went into the house, and saw the third prince standing in the mess.

Looking at the debris all over the ground, Mo Yu was very worried about the Third Prince. He stepped on the debris and walked forward to say respectfully.

"Your Highness, are you not injured?"

The third prince gritted his teeth, looked up at Mo Yu and asked.

"Mo Yu, tell me, am I too cowardly as a prince? One by one, no one took my words to heart. Forget about the Mu family, there is still a layer of distance between them."

"But my mother... she is my biological mother! She actually did such a thing behind my back. She sent Shunpin and Lao Ba to target the Xie family, but then she promised in front of me not to attack the Xie family. Tell me, is my mother treating me like a child?"

As he spoke, he slapped the table heavily again.

Mo Yu said nothing, mainly because he didn't dare to speak. After all, he had just returned from the palace with His Highness.

I also heard at that time that Concubine Wan agreed to Your Highness' request.

What else is there to say? I should talk to Prime Minister Mu and ask him to stop targeting the Xie family and try to win them over instead.

Unexpectedly, they had already found Shunpin and the Eighth Prince in advance and asked them to target the Xie family.

It is true that he says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

Mo Yu felt a chill on his back. After all, Concubine Wan was his highness' biological mother. Doing this would hurt his highness's feelings.

But in the final analysis, this is a matter between mother and son. I am just an outsider with little influence and I really cannot interrupt.

This time, the third prince couldn't bear it anymore.

He could turn a blind eye to the Mu family's minor actions, after all, the Mu family had indeed helped him a lot.

But he didn't owe the Mu family anything. The Mu family helped him gain power, and he also gave the Mu family enough respect.

If he can ascend to the throne in the future, the Mu family will also be the one who has benefited from it, and it will be a win-win situation for both sides. But now, the Mu family's hands are really too long!

They could have dealt with the Xie family themselves, but they had to let their mother speak up.

Is this leaving yourself completely isolated and helpless?

And the mother, too, has she forgotten who her son is? Even if the Mu family is her mother's family, I am her own flesh and blood. Can't you tell which is more important?

If I could become the emperor in the future, she would be the empress dowager!

The third prince felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and said to Mo Yu coldly.

"Let's go! Follow me back to the palace! I must find out today who is the most important person in Concubine Wan's heart!"

Mo Yu was terrified, but he still quickly followed the third prince out of the palace.

There was no one outside the study, but after the two left, the butler quietly walked out from the corner, looked at the third prince's departing back, shook his head, and then turned and left.

Not long after, a figure came out from the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion and disappeared into the dark street.

……

"This ice cream is pretty good. The third child ate a lot just now. Let the kitchen prepare more in the future so that the third child can eat it in time when he comes."

The imperial palace, Concubine Wan’s bedroom.

At this moment, she was giving instructions to the palace maid beside her.

The palace maid smiled and said, "Your Majesty really cares about the Third Prince. She knows exactly what the Third Prince likes to eat."

Concubine Wan smiled and said, "I am his mother, so I will remember what he likes to eat. It's getting late, so take a bath and rest early."

As she spoke, Imperial Concubine Wan touched the corners of her eyes, which were well-maintained but still had wrinkles, and sighed.

"A woman's face determines her fate throughout her life. For men, beautiful young women are always their favorites. As women age, their beauty fades and their love slows down. In a few years, I will become a yellow-faced woman. By then, I'm afraid the emperor will no longer be willing to come to me..."

Concubine Wan's tone was filled with resentment and worry.

The maid could only comfort her, "Your Highness, don't think too much. How can a young girl be as beautiful as you? You are not only beautiful, but also charming. What's more, you gave birth to the third prince for the emperor. Even when you are old, the emperor will still value you very much. Your Highness should not belittle yourself."
