Chapter 316 Planning
"Princess Changle owns many shops, all of which are very profitable in the capital. If we can take this opportunity to acquire these shops, Brother Zhikang won't have to worry about money anymore."
Shen Zhikang frowned slightly: "After all, Princess Changle is the daughter of Prince Yu and the emperor's niece..."
"Wouldn't it be fine if Princess Changle was willing to give it to us?"
Seeing Shen Zhikang hesitate, Song Muxue said softly, "The Sixth Prince is Zhikang's cousin, and it is true that he is related to the Shen family by blood. After Zhikang went to great lengths to help him ascend the throne, didn't he make plans for himself?"
Shen Zhikang's expression turned cold: "What do you mean?"
"Brother Zhikang, don't you want to be a powerful official with great power?"
Song Muxue stroked her bulging belly and said, "This is the Sixth Prince's flesh and blood. Brother Zhikang, have you ever thought about it? The imperial physician said it is very likely to be a son. If this is the Sixth Prince's only flesh and blood, the only son, and Brother Zhikang, as the father who raised him and helped him succeed to the throne, then Brother Zhikang will be the regent with great power."
It is impossible for Shen Zhikang not to be tempted by his desire for power, and he made this plan the moment he learned that Song Muxue was the sixth prince.
He had never mentioned it to Song Muxue, but he never thought that Song Muxue would think the same as him.
This made him sigh that he and Song Muxue were indeed a perfect match.
"The Emperor is already selecting a concubine for the Sixth Prince. How could there be no offspring after the marriage?"
This child will increase his future chips, but he definitely can't be the only one.
"Because of me!"
Song Muxue held Shen Zhikang's hand and said, "Brother Zhikang, you should know the Sixth Prince's feelings for me. I will use this to firmly bind his heart and will never let him have children with any woman!"
She pulled Shen Zhikang's hand and placed it on her bulging belly: "The child we raise will be his only offspring!"
Although the Sixth Prince had a queen and many concubines in his previous life, he never had any children.
The reason is simple, it is because she has firmly tied Ye Xuanrong's heart, causing him to neglect the concubines behind the palace. Even if he favors the concubines, they will be given contraceptive soup afterwards.
As for his queen, she would never have thought until her death that Ye Xuanrong had given her a sterilizing drug before their wedding.
Shen Zhikang was completely moved.
Seeing that his expression had relaxed, Song Muxue continued to strike while the iron was hot: "So Zhikang brother, for your own future, you must not give everything to the Sixth Prince. You must control the wealth in your own hands!"
This way he could better control the Sixth Prince and pave the way for himself to take power in the future.
Song Muxue's eyes were filled with him, as if there was no room for anyone else in her heart except him.
Song Muxue was so devoted to him, but he just regretted giving up Song Yunxi. He really shouldn't have done that.
Shen Zhikang suppressed all the emotions that had just surged up, embraced Song Muxue and said sincerely: "Muxue, thank you!"
After leaving the palace, Ye Ruyan did not dare to return to Prince Yu's Mansion. She knew very well that if her father knew that she had caused such a disaster, he would send her back to Yuzhou without hesitation.
No, she must not go back to Yuzhou!
She can no longer hide from the Empress Dowager. Last time, her father had said something harsh to her, saying that she can only choose one between her son and granddaughter.
Given the guilt that the Royal Grandmother feels towards the King, she will certainly not confront the King again. Moreover, the Royal Uncle will step in on this matter, and the Royal Grandmother will be even less able to protect her.
But after leaving the palace, she found that she had nowhere to go.
The only place to go now is Furong Pavilion. Ye Ruyan plans to hide in Furong Pavilion for a few days first.
But as soon as they arrived at Furong Pavilion, they saw Ye Xuanke and the Capital Camp sealing off Furong Pavilion.
When she was about to leave, Ye Xuan Ke seemed to have noticed her presence and chased after her with his men.
When she was so panicked that she couldn't move, someone covered her mouth from behind and took her into an alley.
Princess Changle struggled desperately with fear in her eyes. At this moment, she felt that going back to be punished was better than being taken away and humiliated by a stranger.
Many notorious scenes of being raped and humiliated appeared in her mind, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
The people behind her dragged her to a dilapidated house at the end of the alley. She could clearly hear Ye Xuanke's voice across the wall.
She wanted to ask for help, and desperately shouted in her heart, "Fifth brother, save me," but Ye Xuan Ke finally took his people away.
Princess Changle was in despair, she even gave up struggling.
She never expected that one day she would end up in such a miserable way.
It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace. At worst, I will just die.
But after the outside became quiet, the person behind her let go of her and knelt on the ground respectfully: "It was an emergency just now, please forgive me, Princess!"
Looking at the strange man in front of her, Princess Changle stepped back, every cell in her body filled with vigilance: "Who are you?"
"My wife knew that the princess was in trouble, so she sent me to help."
"Who is your wife?"
The man took out a letter and handed it to her. Princess Changle felt relieved after reading it: "It's hard to believe that she still cares about me."
"I have prepared the carriage."
Thinking of her current miserable situation of having nowhere to go, Princess Changle somewhat regretted her impulsiveness.
But now that things have come to this, she can only hide from the limelight for now.
"Let's go!"
in the palace.
After a whole day of chaos, the Luanfeng Palace finally calmed down, and Song Yunxi was brought back to Qingyun Pavilion by Song Wentian.
Although the bleeding had stopped temporarily, all the servants did not dare to be careless. After all, both the imperial physician and Doctor Deng said that the wound had hit a vital point, and whether they could survive it depended on God's will.
Although Qingyun Pavilion is located in the palace, it is not subject to any palace rules. Even the servants of Qingyun Pavilion come from Shengyun Mountain.
So when Emperor Qinglong sent away all the imperial doctors, Song Yunxi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, suddenly opened his eyes and turned over.
He stretched himself lazily, "It must be really tiring for this person who pretends to be half dead to lie down for a whole day."
It would be better to die.
Emperor Qinglong said angrily: "I am almost scared to death by you!"
God knows how scared he was when he learned that Song Yunxi's life was in danger after being stabbed. His legs were so weak from fear. But he was an emperor and had to maintain his dignity.
If I hadn't been worried about her safety at that time, I would have killed Princess Changle without caring about anything else.
It wasn't until Ye Xuanqi told him that everything was fake and she was acting that his heart finally settled down.
You little bitch, why do you have to pretend to be seriously injured when there are so many other things to play?
Song Yunxi smiled cheerfully: "Isn't this all for the sake of helping my uncle? You should be grateful to me."
Emperor Qinglong snorted and turned to ask Song Wentian: "Does she usually talk to you in such a disrespectful way?"
