Chapter 190 - Extreme Temptation
After the meal, Tang Yue spent two hours sorting out the information he had obtained today. He made a schedule and compared it to the time when he had been in an accident in Su Ying Pavilion, he was basically certain that it was Wang Zixian's doing.
He showed the results to Crown Prince Zhao. The other party only raised his eyebrows and was not surprised.
“Do you still want to continue?” Crown Prince Zhao asked.
Tang Yue held the thin piece of paper tightly and nodded. “Of course, this is just the beginning.”
Crown Prince Zhao smiled when he heard that. “Then let's do it.” Anyway, he just had to do it.
This Li Xian had attacked him time and time again. If he did not think that he was not a big threat and was not worth attacking, he would have eliminated him a long time ago.
On the other hand, he wanted to find the person hiding behind him and Wang Zixu as soon as possible so that he wouldn't continue to add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble.
Crown Prince Zhao had investigated when Wang Zixu appeared and knew that he had been in contact with Old Prince. He could have already determined that he was the person behind the scenes, but the few things that happened afterwards made him suspect that the person behind Wang Zixian was not him.
This was complicated. Could it be that there was a mysterious person behind them?
Wang Zixu and Wang Zixian were not scary. They were natural opponents who fought for the throne, but those who harbored evil intentions were intolerable.
They dared to fight for the throne. Their goal was obviously not so simple. They would not be able to stabilize the government if they did not get rid of them.
Crown Prince Zhao did not ask Tang Yue how he was going to take action. Tang Yue did not have the intention to say anything either. Or rather, he did not have a good plan right now. He was a PhD student, and he was smart. However, he was not good at these schemes.
The rumors outside were getting more and more intense. Some people even made up a sad story. They said that Tang Xiaolang already had a lover, but after saving Crown Prince's life, he was favored by His Highness and forced to marry him into the Crown Prince's Palace. Tang Xiaolang was forced to obey because of his lust, but he still did not give up on his lover. After enduring for a while, he came out to meet his lover when Crown Prince was not in the Palace.
Unexpectedly, Crown Prince still got the news. Not only did he come to catch the adulterer, but he also killed the adulterer on the spot and kidnapped Crown Princess back to the residence. It was said that that night, the sounds in Crown Prince's bedroom kept ringing until dawn.
The next morning, when Tang Yue heard this story from He's mouth, he couldn't help but spit out his breakfast and stared at him in disbelief. “Is that really what's going on outside?”
He nodded. His thin, dark face was full of anger.
“Damn, these people are really good at making up stories. Why don't they become scriptwriters?”
Crown Prince Zhao quietly wiped the soybean milk off his face and ordered people to prepare another table of breakfast.
Tang Yue lowered his head and looked at the breakfast that he spat on. He smiled awkwardly. “What does it matter? It's not dirty.”
In fact, he wanted to say that they usually ate each other's saliva. Even if they did, it was nothing.
Crown Prince Zhao calmly and elegantly finished his meal. He called someone in and instructed. “Go ahead. If news of Wang Zixu's matter gets out, the people's lives will be boring. It is inevitable that they will like these elegant things.”
Tang Yue had heard him talk about Wang Zixu. He knew that he was doing this to relieve the pressure of public opinion so that everyone would not keep their eyes on the two of them.
“This Mo is really ruthless. This way, I will be thrown out of the house with my rotten eggs.” Tang Yue could imagine the scene. The angry civilians would definitely guard his house. As long as he showed himself, they would come over and smash things.
Tsk tsk, he had thought of such a sinister move. Indeed, people are evil!
Tang Yue stuffed pancakes into his mouth as he muttered, “This Wang Zixian doesn't have any privacy?”
“He does love feathers more than Wang Zixu. Although he has some minor problems, it doesn't hurt much. Otherwise, Royal Father would not have looked at him in a different light.”
“Didn't he say that he has a mother with the bloodline of North Yue?”
“Yes, but he is a prince after all.” Although this could become a stain on Wang Zixian's reputation, it could not become a weakness for others to criticize him.
Tang Yue nodded, the corner of his mouth forming a confident smile. “This is enough.”
As long as this stain existed, it would be useful. It would depend on how he operated it.
Currently, there were two people in strange clothes visiting Third Prince Prefecture.
When the gatekeepers heard their names, they were so scared that they did not dare to open the door, but they did not dare to stop them. They ran to inform Wang Zixian.
Wang Zixian woke up early in the morning and was listening to the news that he had just arrived. Yesterday, Tang Yue caught that group of people, so naturally he could not hide it. The news spread early in the morning.
“Humph, so what if he knows that it was me who set him up? Can he provide evidence? Can he redeem his lost reputation?”
Now, everyone thought that he was a man who would do anything for Crown Prince Zhao. Wang Zixian's plan didn't go to waste.
“Let's work harder and make the story more realistic. Then, we can buy a few servants from State Duke Ann Prefecture and send the story to State Duke Ann Prefecture.”
“His Highness's move is really brilliant. This way, State Duke Ann Prefecture, Crown Prince Palace, and Yueyang Marquis's Mansion will be in chaos for a while.”
“What we want is for them to be in chaos! If necessary, we need to kill a few more people. The bigger the matter, the better! I want to see if Royal Father can tolerate such a son being the crown prince!”
As soon as Wang Zixian finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, “Your Highness, there is someone outside asking for an audience.”
“Who is it?”
“They claim to be the envoys of North Yue.”
“North Yue?” Wang Zixian's expression changed. He was surprised. After a long time, he said, “Take them to the study room and let them wait.”
He got up and walked around twice. He frowned slightly and thought about the purpose of these people's visit.
“Does His Highness really want to see the envoy of North Yue? If news of this were to spread to the palace, I'm afraid the king would be unhappy.”
Wang Zixian glared at him. Of course he knew about this, but he had a feeling that the purpose of these people's visit might be beneficial to him.
“Then go and sweep their tails. Don't let anyone know that they've been here.”
“Yes!”
Wang Zixian could not guess their purpose of coming, so he decided not to guess. He went to see them directly.
In the study room, the two envoys from North Yue were a little impatient. Their faces were full of depression as they muttered some words from North Yue.
The door to the book was pushed open. Wang Zixian walked in gracefully and smiled before saying anything, “Welcome, two envoys. May I know what brings you here?”
The two Envoy of North Yue looked at each other and smiled. They bowed and said, “How have you been, Your Highness? We were ordered to see Your Highness. Your Majesty misses his younger sister and nephew. He ordered us to come and greet Your Highness.”
Wang Zixian's eyes flashed. He was not moved. “Is that so? If I really have to thank the North Yue King for his memory, I will have to trouble the two of you to make a trip.”
“Your Highness is too polite. Although Your Highness is a prince of South Jin, you are also born by the princess of North Yue. You can be considered half a citizen of North Yue. There is no need to be so polite.”
The two envoys handed over a brocade box, lowered their heads and said, “This is a gift from Your Highness.”
Wang Zixian hesitated for a moment and took it. He opened it casually and his expression suddenly changed.
The box was not made of gold, silver, or jewelry. It was a token made of pure gold.
“This is…?” He held the token in his hand and looked at the other party in surprise.
The expressions of the two emissaries changed as well. Then, they knelt down in unison and said respectfully, “So it turns out that the King has given such a treasure to Your Highness. Forgive us for offending you just now.”
Wang Zixian saw how respectful and humble they were and felt a little excited. He did not show it on his face. “Tell me, what is this token? Why does the North Yue King want to give it to me?”
“Your Highness doesn't know. This is the token representing the king himself. If you are in North Yue, you can directly mobilize the army of a city. The king is afraid that you and the princess will be bullied in South Jin!”
After the envoy explained, he wiped his tears. It was as if Wang Zixian was the prince of North Yue and not the prince of South Jin.
It sounded ridiculous to have such an inverted relationship, but who asked Wang Zixian to have such an inextricable relationship with the king of North Yue?
“The army of a city? Are you kidding me?” Wang Zixian was not stupid after all. How could such a good thing fall into his hands? Moreover, he was in South Jin, so why would he need the soldiers of North Yue?
One of the messengers quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him. “There is a letter written by the king here. Please take a look.”
Wang Zixian read the letter with great curiosity. His face twitched and he suppressed his excitement.
It turned out that the letter from the North Yue King mentioned that he wanted to help his nephew seize the throne. Rather than giving it to others, it would be better for his nephew to take the throne. This would also benefit the long-term development of the two countries.
Putting aside whether this was true or not, this suggestion had hit Wang Zixian's weak point. What he had was military strength. If he had the help of the North Yue, he and Crown Prince Zhao might have the ability to compete for a long time.
At this moment, he finally realized that he had powerful external help as well, and it was not inferior to Crown Prince Zhao at all.
“Haha…” Wang Zixian laughed out loud. A kind of carefree mood arose in his heart.
