Chapter 126 The Third Prince’s Strategy
These thoughts in Xiaolan's heart seemed to take a long time, but in fact they just passed by in a flash. She put away the smile at the corner of her mouth, and a cold and stern expression appeared on her face.
"Mr. Meng! You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I will tell the imperial concubine all this when I go back!" Xiaolan said lightly: "I don't know what you and His Highness Prince Qi are planning, but I I know that Mr. Meng, you definitely don’t want the imperial concubine to ask His Highness Prince Qi in person! Then His Highness Prince Qi will be beaten into a trap and tell the matter and make the matter bigger, it will not be good!
Meng Ruolang suddenly stiffened, no! Why are the women around eldest brother so smart? Weren't they still immersed in sweetness just now? ! Although those words were all made up by himself, he shouldn't have woken up so quickly!
"Okay!" Xiaolan stood up, "Since Mr. Meng doesn't want to say anything, let's forget it! Let the imperial concubine pay a visit in person tomorrow!"
"Don't!" Meng Ruolang stepped forward and blocked the door to prevent Xiaolan from leaving. But when he saw that she was rushing out regardless, he had to hold her and begged, "I said you can't do it! Then I will I only tell you one person, you can’t tell others! Especially the imperial concubine!”
Xiaolan stopped and looked at him proudly, "Okay! Mr. Meng, you just saved my life. I promise not to tell anyone. Mr. Meng, just tell me!"
Meng Ruolang hesitated for a while, but when he saw Xiaolan looking like she would never give up, he could only sigh helplessly and said to her: "You know that my eldest brother recently made a drink called Miaolian!"
Xiaolan nodded and signaled Meng Ruolang to continue.
Meng Ruolang poured a cup of tea and then began to explain to Xiaolan.
"You don't know something. After tasting it, Xiaoyu, the maid next to my sister, was full of praise for this drink and wanted to drink more.
And I admire Xiao Yu very well, but after my sister found out about my motives, she kept getting in the way and always hindered us.
Isn’t it the Empress Dowager’s birthday soon? Xiao Yu secretly ran to my young master’s room without telling her sister, and specifically begged me to go to my eldest brother to ask for more. The beauty begged me hard, but this young master didn’t The cruel man agreed.
So when I arrived at Hanfeng Temple today, I shamelessly approached my eldest brother. Although the eldest brother agreed, he also asked me to help him with something, which was to find him some intoxicating drugs.
I originally wanted to refuse, but when I thought that this would make the beauty sad, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush all the way from Hanfeng Temple to the city.
You also know what happened next. As soon as I entered the city, I saw the chaos here. I was a little curious, so I came over here. Who would have thought that I would hear your screams as soon as I got close? He heard the sound, so he observed in secret and found the right opportunity to rescue you. "
After saying that, Meng Ruolang quickly took a sip of the cold tea to moisten his throat. After saying so many words in one breath, he was really thirsty.
Xiaolan looked at Meng Ruolang with a puzzled look on her face, "You said His Highness King Qi asked you to find the drug?"
"Yes!" Meng Ruolang nodded, "otherwise, why do you think this young master has nothing to do and rushes all the way back to the city from Hanfeng Temple?!"
"Then do you know what His Highness Prince Qi is going to use it for?" Xiaolan asked with an uneasy look on her face. She didn't dare to think about it further. Although His Highness Prince Qi is a lustful person, he has never used it on women. After seeing those despicable means, she really didn't dare to think about what His Highness King Qi was going to do with the smoke. She really didn't want His Highness Prince Qi to become the kind of person who would use dirty tricks on women.
"This..." Meng Ruolang hesitated for a moment. Looking at Xiaolan's worried expression, he knew that she might have thought of something bad, but he knew what his eldest brother was like. He was not the kind of person who would use dirty tricks. people.
So I told Xiaolan the reason I made up casually before, "I'm not very sure, but I guess the big brother is using it for self-defense!"
"Self-defense?!" Xiaolan didn't know why. His majestic King Qi still used these things to defend himself? ! King Qi can train personal guards, and the emperor does not need to personally nod. Even if he thinks it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and does not want to train them personally, wouldn't it be enough to take the initiative to ask the emperor for a few? !
"That's right!" Meng Ruolang nodded, "Think about it, this is the Empress Dowager's birthday, do you think those two people won't come?!"
"Those two people? Are you talking about that?!" Xiaolan suddenly understood the reason. She couldn't help but complain in her heart, and she complained to him.
"If this is the reason, then why are you so hesitant and unwilling to say anything?"
"Hehe!" Meng Ruolang smiled sheepishly, "Aren't these reasons all my guesses? The eldest brother didn't say what the reasons were, so I was embarrassed to say them. After all, smoke is easy to misunderstand. !”
He said this, but he still couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, "As expected of the people around him, they are really smart! Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, they are indeed well-deserved! It seems that there are some things that need to be concealed in the future!"
"Then Mr. Meng can find Misan?" Xiaolan asked: "If Mr. Meng finds it, he should hurry back to Hanfeng Temple. I got some news from the imperial concubine. I heard that the second prince is already returning to Beijing. On the way, we will arrive in the capital soon, and within a few days at the latest, the second prince will go to Hanfeng Temple."
"Now the third prince is also leaving for Hanfeng Temple. His Highness Prince Qi has no guards around him to protect him. If His Highness Prince Qi is really threatened, please don't be stingy and help His Highness Prince Meng."
"Don't worry! Prince Qi is also my sworn eldest brother, so he won't stand idly by when he sees his eldest brother in trouble!"
When Meng Ruolang saw Xiaolan asking her to leave, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to her, and headed towards Hanfeng Temple without looking back.
Xiaolan looked at Meng Ruolang's retreating figure and sighed, "Hey! If only what he just said was true!"
"Forget it! As long as I can be by His Highness King Qi's side, I don't have any other requirements!"
Although he said this to comfort himself, his heart was still full of loss, and there was endless loneliness in his eyes.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Xiaolan raised her head, looked out the window, and said quietly: "My assassination has failed, so let's go back tomorrow! I will rest here for the night today. I can't look like this to His Highness King Qi." See! Otherwise! He will definitely feel distressed!"
Meng Ruolang ran all the way towards Hanfeng Temple, and couldn't help but feel scared on the way.
I really didn’t expect that Xiaolan is so smart, and she is truly worthy of the maid she trained. Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum are indeed extraordinary! If the eldest brother meets a few other people from now on, the scene will definitely be exciting.
Meng Ruolang smiled evilly, and when she thought of her eldest brother being so anxious and beaten, Meng Ruolang had a lot of expectations in his heart.
However, having said that, although it is fun to watch Big Brother’s jokes, you still have to be careful. If he hadn't accidentally discovered Xiaolan's handkerchief and guessed her identity, I might have been kept in the dark.
Meng Ruolang touched his chin and thought deeply. It seemed that he needed to make a long-term plan before going back and ask his sister and father to take more precautions.
At this time, the third prince was sitting on the carriage heading to Hanfeng Temple with a gloomy face, thinking about the assassination just now.
"Your Highness!" The think tank Jian Shichi came to the third prince's carriage at this time and bowed to call the third prince.
Jian Shichi's voice woke up the third prince from deep thought, "Come in!"
Jian Shichi lifted the curtain and walked into the carriage.
"Brother Jian, what do you have to do with me?" The third prince asked when he saw that Jian Shichi wanted to discuss something with him.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I wonder what your Highness's future plans are?!" Jian Shichi asked cautiously.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I wonder if Brother Jian has any ideas?" The third prince shook his head and said.
"Your Highness! You may not know something, but I know that Hanfeng Temple is very busy now!"
"Brother Jian! Please drink tea!" The third prince poured a cup of tea for Jian Shichi with his own hands, "Brother Jian, what do you say?"
"Your Highness, according to reports from my subordinates, King Qi is in dire straits right now. You must also know that the Han family and the Meng family have always been family friends, and Han Wuyong and Meng Ruoxi have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. This time they went to Hanfeng Temple to become the emperor. The Queen Mother wished her a birthday, so the two families naturally went together." Jian Shichi said, his mouth was dry and he picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Brother Jian, how could this put King Qi into dire straits?" The third prince was a little confused when he heard Jian Shichi's words, and did not understand what he meant by these words.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten what happened to the Han family and the Meng family?!" Jian Shichi looked enigmatic.
"Are you talking about the fact that the Meng family and the Han family made a baby wedding, but the Meng family broke the contract without authorization?!" The third prince heard Jian Shichi's reminder, thought about it carefully, and finally thought of this old incident.
"That's right! There was a lot of commotion at that time, and the Han family threatened to break off relations with the Meng family. But later, I don't know why the two families stopped talking, and the relationship between the two families did not break up because of this. Even Han Wuyong and Meng Ruoxi They also became brothers and sisters of the opposite sex under the witness of the emperor."
"We know these things, but King Qi doesn't know that. King Qi was still in his infancy at the time. By the time he reached a sensible age, the aftermath of this incident had already faded away, and he has been obsessed with women. I won’t even pay attention to these trivial matters.”
"And now, King Qi has seen with his own eyes that the relationship between the two of them is too close. Your Highness, what kind of state is King Qi in now?!"
"Hahaha!" The third prince suddenly understood and clapped his hands happily, "This is really good news, it is really satisfying!"
Jian Shichi also smiled in agreement with the third prince for a moment, and then said to the third prince in a serious tone: "Your Highness, look at it, we can just kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"What's the method of killing someone with a borrowed knife?" When the third prince heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Jian, please make it clear!"
"Your Highness, we can use the power behind Yu Yao'er to do things for us. You think, Yu Yao'er was bombed to death by King Qi. With their vengeful character, they will definitely not be able to swallow this breath and will definitely take revenge."
"We also wasted a lot of energy on Yu Yao'er. Now that Yu Yao'er is dead, we can't let our previous efforts go to waste. We can just provide information and convenience to the forces behind Yu Yao'er."
"Yu Yao'er's death was indeed not in vain! He died in the right place!" The third prince patted Jian Shichi on the shoulder with appreciation, "Brother Jian is indeed my prince's number one think tank! This strategy is simply killing two birds with one stone, even if King Qi Fortunately, we didn't die, and we can have a further relationship with that force."
"Your Highness is so complimentary!" Jian Shichi respectfully accepted the third prince's praise, "Your Highness, without further ado, I will make arrangements right now!"
"That's great!" The third prince nodded in agreement, "I leave all the power to Brother Jian!"
