Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1810 My Aunt is the Empress 17
After realizing he could not marry Linlang, the eldest prince, just like in his second life, prepared to kill her.

Knowing full well that he had done all those awful things, even if he married Zhou Erniang, Master Zhou would never support him, the eldest prince still wanted to take a gamble, thinking that if he married Zhou Erniang, perhaps Master Zhou would one day come to his senses and be willing to help him. If he didn't marry her, then he would have no chance at all.

However, in the original world, the original body was protected by Master Zhou's men, and even the First Prince failed to kill the original body. In this world, it would be even less likely that he would succeed.

Although it was impossible to succeed, in the original body's second life, the fact that the First Prince killed the original body was not exposed. It was Linlang who found out by combining the original body's memories and her monitoring of the First Prince—the original body had been attacked and then escaped, but no one could be found out who did it (it should have been a bodyguard raised by the First Prince, who committed suicide when investigated, resulting in no clues being found). Based on the First Prince's situation, Linlang deduced that it was probably the First Prince who did it.

Because the matter of killing the original owner was not exposed, the eldest prince was able to marry Zhou Erniang later. Otherwise, if it had been exposed, the eldest prince would definitely have been punished. Even if he was a prince, if the emperor did not kill his son, he would definitely have been imprisoned in Huai'en Palace like the second prince, and would not have been allowed to continue to cause trouble outside. Then he would not have been able to marry Zhou Erniang.

Now that Linlang has arrived and knows that the First Prince wants to kill her, he will definitely expose what he did. Otherwise, if it isn't exposed, after Linlang marries the Sixth Prince—if the Sixth Prince really has no problems—he can still marry Zhou Erniang just like in the previous life, and let him continue to cause trouble, which is obviously not what Linlang wants to see.

So at this moment, Linlang deliberately revealed to Master Zhou that the eldest prince planned to kill her, who was unwilling to marry him, and then kill her, and then marry Zhou Erniang, who was willing to marry him, in order to gain the support of the Zhou family.

Linlang trusted Master Zhou's abilities and knew that he would be angry when he found out about this, and would then deal with the eldest prince. That way, she wouldn't have to figure out a way to deal with the eldest prince herself, which would save her trouble.

Linlang guessed correctly. When Master Zhou learned that the eldest prince, seeing that he couldn't marry Linlang, planned to kill her and marry Zhou Erniang, who was willing to marry him, he was furious. He sneered inwardly, thinking that this eldest prince really thought he was something special, believing that just because he had seduced Zhou Erniang, he would listen to him and help him ascend to the throne. How ridiculous!

Then she realized that one day, Zhou Erniang had suddenly dared to run up to her and say that the First Prince had changed his ways and that he would continue to marry Linlang to him and support his ascension to the throne. It turned out that Zhou Erniang had been tricked by the First Prince at that time.

The thought of the eldest prince's underhanded tactics—poisoning his eldest daughter's maid and using his second daughter as a backup plan—made Master Zhou increasingly dislike the eldest prince.

If someone has someone they like and is so ruthless towards their own daughter, they will definitely turn against their family once they rise to power. After all, this person has no bottom line and has someone they love; it's easy to imagine how they will treat their family in the future.

At that moment, Master Zhou pretended not to know anything, but secretly collected information about the contact between the eldest prince and those assassins. He planned to present this evidence after the eldest prince had the assassin kill Linlang, pretending that he had found it after his daughter was assassinated, and submit it to the emperor for processing.

The emperor certainly wouldn't ignore it; after all, a prince assassinating a minister's daughter deserves an explanation.

At that time, the eldest prince will most likely be imprisoned in Huai'en Palace, just like the second prince.

The eldest prince's cunning was no match for that of Master Zhou, so Master Zhou's scheme naturally succeeded.

Soon, Linlang encountered danger just like in her previous life, but thanks to the protection of people sent by Master Zhou, there were naturally no problems.

Then, Master Zhou pretended to be furious and investigated who wanted to kill his daughter. In the end, he traced it back to the eldest prince and handed the evidence to the emperor. The emperor, who had long been disappointed in the eldest prince, was speechless when he saw that the eldest prince was planning to kill Zhou Linlang, whom he couldn't marry, in order to gain the support of the Zhou family so that he could marry Zhou Erniang, who was willing to marry him, and then seek the support of the Zhou family. He thought to himself, "Why does my son cause so much trouble?"

To kill someone's daughter, the emperor had to give an explanation to his trusted minister and brother-in-law. So he also imprisoned the eldest prince in Huai'en Palace, making him reflect on his actions. He also stripped the prince of his title and gave him only the title of General of the State.

Linlang was pleased to see the eldest prince go inside.

When Zhou Erniang heard that the eldest prince had gone inside, she felt as if the sky was falling.

You should know that during this period, the eldest prince had been coaxing her and even promised her that he would propose to her soon.

She was worried that her father might not be satisfied with the eldest prince and might refuse his marriage proposal.

Fortunately, the eldest prince said that as long as she was willing, they could be together, and once they were together, her father would definitely have to marry her to him.

Zhou Erniang thought the eldest prince's idea was excellent and was waiting to marry him, but how come he was imprisoned in the blink of an eye? What happened? — The emperor naturally didn't tell the public about his eldest son's attempt to kill the minister's daughter. He only told the eldest prince in private the reason for his imprisonment, and publicly stated that the eldest prince had disobeyed him, so he was imprisoned.

Well, it wouldn't be unfair to say that the eldest prince disobeyed him. After all, he had warned him before not to cause trouble again and had already scolded him twice, telling him to behave himself. But he just wouldn't listen. What else could it be but disobedience?

Zhou Erniang was unaware of these things; she only felt that the emperor was far too heartless to his son, imprisoning him so easily.

But she could only think this in her heart and could not say anything. After all, it was the emperor's arrangement, and she dared not question it.

Before she could even grieve over the Crown Prince's affair, Master Zhou quickly arranged a marriage for her and confined her to a courtyard, saying that she should learn proper etiquette and not be allowed to leave until she was married.

After gathering information, Master Zhou discovered that Zhou Erniang had serious problems. He dared not let her continue to roam outside, fearing that if the eldest prince disappeared, Zhou Erniang would get involved with other princes.

Marrying a prince wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but Zhou Erniang wasn't very bright. Master Zhou was afraid that marrying a prince would bring trouble to the family, so he quickly found her a family with strict rules and then confined her to their home until the time was right, at which point he would marry her off.

The other family is very strict, so even if Zhou Erniang marries into the family, she won't cause any trouble. This way, he won't have to worry about her causing trouble in her husband's family and bringing trouble to his own family, or being divorced by her husband's family and having to continue looking for a husband for her.
