Chapter 518: Still playing tricks, can you pull it off?
"Sister-in-law, my brother is only helping the girl in the election now. What will happen after she becomes the most beautiful girl? Wouldn't he book a houseboat? He has already spent more than five thousand taels today! How much does it cost to book a houseboat? The key is not the money, but that he has let sister-in-law down!" Xiao Jincheng said excitedly.
"How many men in this world have never let down their wives?" Ji Chuhe asked back softly.
"In my heart, my sister-in-law is different from those women. She is not someone who resigns herself to her fate." Xiao Jincheng hated Ji Chuhe's mentality of not fighting or competing.
She is totally different in other matters.
She also has the absolute means to make Xiao Yan'an obedient, so why should she put herself in such a difficult position?
"Second Young Master knows why I married into the palace and became the wife of the Crown Prince. Life is hard for a woman. Since she already has a relatively comfortable life, why would she want anything else? If she wants too much, she will be too greedy. If she can't get it, won't she be unwilling to accept it? If she is too unwilling in her heart, she will lose a lot of happiness, and even suffer from it."
It turned out that Ji Chuhe felt that her current life was already pretty good, so she never begged for Xiao Yanan's sincerity.
She was right to think so. How much is Xiao Yanan's sincerity worth?
At the beginning, Xiao Yan'an did so many things to humiliate Ji Chuhe for Xu Yan'er.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you are so clear-headed. Today, I came to talk to you about this matter, and I also hope that you and my brother can get along well. I also want to change your impression of me. I am actually... not as bad as you imagine." Xiao Jincheng wanted to defend himself.
"Everyone is profit-seeking, we just have different positions."
"Sister-in-law, no matter what I did before, I really never thought of hurting you, not before and not in the future."
Ji Chuhe felt a little nauseous.
This Xiao Jincheng actually had such dirty thoughts towards her.
"As long as the Second Young Master does not become an enemy of the Crown Prince in the future, there will naturally be no conflicts between us. The Second Young Master is also the son of the King, and I will not give you a penny less."
Xiao Jincheng felt helpless. A woman like Ji Chuhe was too loyal.
She may never have thought that she had other choices besides Xiao Yan'an.
No rush, he will let her know that he is a hundred times stronger than Xiao Yanan!
When he replaces Xiao Yan'an and becomes the prince, she will have no choice but to rely on him. When she needs him, she will naturally consider his thoughts.
Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the younger brother to marry the elder brother's sister-in-law after the elder brother passes away.
"Sister-in-law, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The money my brother spent on those prostitutes has not yet been credited to the account."
"Thank you for telling me all this. I now know everything." Ji Chuhe still didn't look angry at all.
Xiao Jincheng felt like he had punched cotton.
Even though Ji Chuhe did not have any big reaction and did not stop this matter immediately like other wives, this matter will always remain in Ji Chuhe's heart.
He didn't believe that Ji Chuhe really didn't care at all.
……
Royal study room.
Walking quickly towards the four seas.
"Your Majesty, Gao Jin has entered the northern border. This is the news he sent back secretly."
The emperor took the secret letter and read its contents.
Gao Jin had another important mission on this trip, which was to investigate whether Rong Yulan had collaborated with the enemy.
First, the Huaiyang Palace encountered the Hu bandits and planned to secretly burn the Hu bandits' food camp, but ended up getting nothing and ended up implicating the Luo family.
He learned the details of his previous life from Shen Chengjing, and now he suspected that this was a setup.
A trap set up jointly by Prince Huaiyang and the Rongguo Mansion.
This scheme not only eliminated the Luo family, but also implicated him.
If it weren't for Shen Chengjing, he wouldn't have known that he had been tricked by Prince Huaiyang and the Rongguo Mansion.
The Luo family's suspicion that Rong Yulan was collaborating with the enemy and secretly colluding with the Hu bandits was definitely not groundless.
The secret letter sent by Gao Jin said that everything was normal in the northern border.
The emperor held the letter with a sneer on his lips.
"Tell all the people in the world that Shen Chengjing is here to see me."
"Yes." Chao Sihai quickly retreated.
Not long after, Shen Chengjing walked quickly into the imperial study.
"This slave is here to see the Emperor."
"Shen Chengjing, I will send a team of people to go to the northern border with you to do something for me."
Shen Chengjing was delighted.
He thought that the emperor was extremely disappointed in him because he failed to kill Xiao Yan'an, and the emperor had not summoned him for such a long time.
It seemed that he was worrying too much.
"Before, Luo Heng suspected Rong Yulan of colluding with the enemy and secretly colluding with the Hu bandits. I want you to secretly go to the Northern Territory to investigate this matter. If you find evidence, present it to me. If there is no evidence, after the Northern Territory wins the battle against the Hu bandits, you will find a way to make Rong Yulan convicted of colluding with the enemy. In short, I don't want him to return to the imperial capital alive, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Shen Chengjing suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
After Shen Chengjing left, Chao Sihai came to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that the prince has picked up a prostitute. It seems that he wants this woman to be the most popular prostitute of the month. He spent a fortune for a prostitute named Yanran."
"Yanran?" The emperor pondered over the name.
"Your Majesty, the concubine that the prince loved most before was named Xu Yan'er. Maybe the prince was reminded of the past when he saw such a similar name. Didn't the prince take in a new concubine before? She seems to have some similarities with Xu Yan'er." Chao Sihai reminded in a low voice.
"From this point of view, he is a romantic man. If he continues to squander like this, how long can the money Ji Chuhe earns sustain his squandering?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to spend this money than to let it stay in the hands of the Crown Prince's wife." Chao Sihai boldly replied.
The emperor's expression did not improve at all.
Chao Sihai immediately realized that he had guessed the emperor's thoughts wrongly.
After a moment, he suddenly realized.
It turns out that the emperor has also set his eyes on this money!
If the emperor wants this money, there must be a reasonable reason, just like the emperor asked Prince Huaiyang to prepare food, but I'm afraid this reason is not easy to find.
"What is Xiao Jincheng doing?" the emperor suddenly asked.
The hint he gave to Xiao Jincheng was so obvious, right?
If Xiao Yanan is eliminated, Xiao Jincheng will become the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's behavior of holding the courtesan was instigated by Xiao Jincheng. Could it be that he wanted to cause a rift between the Crown Prince and his wife, and then attack the Crown Prince?"
"Hmph!" the emperor snorted coldly.
Chao Sihai immediately lowered his head.
"Why go to so much trouble? Does he think he is smart enough to deal with Ji Chuhe?" The emperor's words were full of contempt.
