The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 369 Before the big wedding, a conspiracy (3)
Even in spring, everything is revived, and there is a scene full of spring everywhere.This was the most joyful season of the year, but it happened to be the most painful time for Zhao Shenggao.

Every year, in spring, is the time when his body is most vulnerable.

During this period of time, he should not be too tired, travel freely, let alone get a little cold, otherwise, he would easily lose his life.

"Ahem..." The long hair was loose, and the long robe was hanging on the ground.There was a faint 'cough' sound, which was very obvious in the empty hall.

At the door of the sleeping hall, Yin Ji came in with a black soup, walked up to Zhao Shenggao, looked at his pale and haggard face, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to take the medicine."

Clutching the brocade handkerchief in his hand, he calmly wiped off the redness at the corner of his mouth. Zhao Shenggao took the medicine bowl sideways, put it to his mouth, and drank it in one gulp.

The bitter concoction made him extra sober.He told himself once again that he had waited for more than ten years, and he must not die before fulfilling his wish.

"Your Highness, King Xiaoyao will get married in the future, can we send a congratulatory gift?" Yin Ji pondered for a moment, then asked again.

Zhao Shenggao still stared into the distance, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a smile that was not a smile: "Send it, of course I have to. It's just that I'm not feeling well, so I can't attend my cousin's wedding in person, please forgive me."

Yin Ji nodded slightly and stepped back.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a waiter came to report: "Your Highness, Lord Lan and Lord Wen are asking to see you outside the hall."

Zhao Chenggao frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased.

Zhao Shengqian had already been designated as the prince by default, which disrupted his plan and prompted Zhao Shengxi to agree to cooperate with him.Now, everything has to be discussed from scratch, but it won't take much longer.

At this moment, he was being watched secretly by the people sent by Zhao Shengqian, and these two people actually ran over at this moment.

However, since people have come.Whether he sees it or not, it doesn't make much difference.

"Let them in."

The servant retreated, and after a while, Lan Tingzhi and Wen Qingzhu came to the sleeping hall.

Kneeling and leaning over, they all called His Highness Jin An.

"Everyone get up." Zhao Chenggao raised his hand, the corner of his robe moved slightly, and the person had already floated from the window to a chair beside him, and sat down with a flick of his sleeves.

Lan Tingzhi and Wen Qingzhu got up, but they didn't dare to sit down, they could only stand in the hall with their heads bowed.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shenggao spoke softly, that ethereal voice seemed to come from all directions in the bedroom.

Lan Tingzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, now the Holy Majesty has appointed the second prince as the crown prince, what shall we do? Could it be that we just wait for the edict to be issued?"

He put all his wealth on the third prince, how could he lose?

"What do you want?" Zhao Shenggao flicked his fingertips, but there was not much fluctuation in his expression.

"This..." Lan Tingzhi had no choice but to meet in a hurry.Now, being asked back by the master, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He was silent, but Wen Qingzhu beside him couldn't help it.

Immediately glanced at the father-in-law next to him, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said to Zhao Shenggao: "Your Highness, since you suspect that King Xiaoyao is hiding something, you can't let him get married smoothly. According to the intelligence of the spies, this is the daughter of Chu Qing and General Sang , Sang Youqing walked very close. Sang Youqing has such a relationship with the second prince. I suspect that there is already a secret collusion between Chu Qing and the second prince."

Wen Qingzhu took a tentative look at Zhao Chenggao, seeing that he was not displeased, she became bolder in her heart: "Although Chu Qing is a merchant, she is very rich. If she really colluded with the second prince, there may be even bigger ones." The conspiracy on our side is also in jeopardy."

Zhao Shenggao raised his eyes, his clear eyes looked at Wen Qingzhu, which made his heart feel cold. "What does this have to do with whether she married Xiaoyao Wang?"

Wen Qingzhu said: "We haven't figured out the details of King Xiaoyao so far. But he wants to marry Chu Qing so much, he must have a conspiracy. In this case, we can't just watch them succeed and ruin the marriage. Cutting off the cooperation between her and the second prince is the best for us."

"Oh? Then what's the plan in your mind?" Zhao Shenggao was still neither angry nor anxious.

Wen Qingzhu was overjoyed, but didn't notice the dissatisfaction from his father-in-law beside him.Expressed the thoughts that had been pondered in his heart for a long time: "We can't touch the Second Prince and King Xiaoyao for the time being, but we can destroy Chu Qing."

"How to destroy it?" Zhao Shenggao's eyes drooped, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

"On the day of the big wedding, find someone to destroy Qingqing, let her reputation be ruined, and she will live in the world without a word. Such an insult to the Tian family, His Majesty will be furious, and if she is punished, King Xiaoyao will definitely not do it for a loser. In the midst of His Majesty's fury, if the Second Prince pleaded for her, I am afraid that it will only be His Majesty who will be annoyed in the end, making his position as the quasi-Prince unsafe. Once Chu Qing is convicted, her tens of millions of wealth will be lost. , the Jiuming business name will be confiscated and filled into the national treasury. If it is our people who handle this matter, maybe we can offer a generous gift to His Highness." The more Wen Qingzhu said, the more excited he became, as if it had already become a reality generally.Those eyes, as if quenched by poison, were entwined with strong resentment.

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the bedroom.

A cool breeze blew outside the window, and the cool wind brushed over his face.Let his brain cool down and wake up immediately.

Immediately, his face turned pale, and his lips lost their color.

These were the words in his heart, why did he say them all in a flash?
She secretly looked at the father-in-law beside her, only to find that he was standing with his head bowed expressionlessly, as if he had no reaction to what he just said.

Then she secretly looked at Zhao Shenggao, only to see that his eyes were slightly squinted, he seemed to be asleep, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

Such a reaction gave Wen Qingzhu a chill in his heart, and an indescribable chill came out of his spine, making him shiver.

After a while, Zhao Shenggao's misty voice sounded again: "Master Wen, I heard from this hall that this Chu Qing was your unmarried wife."

Wen Qingzhu's complexion suddenly changed, and he was as pale as a dead person.

"Your Highness, the humble job is entirely for His Highness's sake, there is absolutely no selfishness!" Kneeling on the ground, Wen Qingzhu's nose almost touched the floor.

However, Zhao Chenggao ignored it, and just murmured: "Chu Qing, it's indeed a variable, and her property really moved the palace."

A woman who could make him pay attention to her, deceive him even more successfully, and make both Zhao Shenghao and Gao Zhiyou pay so much attention, naturally she cannot be underestimated.

What's more, the follow-up war will require a lot of money.As for Jiuming Company, the most important thing is money.
