Chapter 273: Endless troubles
Located in the Qinfang Garden in the western suburbs of the capital, the prince sat in the floating hall used to meet guests, staring at the letter in his hand, the corners of his mouth gradually hooked a cold arc, and a hidden anger could be glimpsed in his eyes.

"It seems that Bengong guessed well, the matter of Cheng Dagongzi is really the hands and feet of Yan Wangfu behind his back. β
He snorted coldly with a smile, and then handed the letter in his hand to King Qi, who was sitting opposite him with a serious expression.
I saw that King Qi took the letter with both hands with a little respect, and after a few rough glances, he seemed to be very touched by the content of the letter, and angrily slapped the letter paper on the desk with his backhand.
"I used to really think that although Concubine Yan Wang Hui was different from me, she should treat Rong'er sincerely, but I didn't expect that in order to break off this marriage, she would make fun of her name. β
Seeing that the king of Qi was furious about this matter, although the prince was also angry on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart.
So he followed the fanning and said: "What Uncle Sanhuang said is yes, in addition to hearing those people outside talking about Cheng Dagongzi and Jingguo Gonggong in the past few days, the palace can't help but hear some other gossip, saying... said that Lingrong must have some unknown flaws, which made Cheng Dagongzi go outside to mess with flowers and grass on the eve of his wedding. β
The prince said and pretended to take a sad breath, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "There are some things that are even more unbearable, even the palace is angry for Ling Rong and the third emperor uncle when I hear it, and the queen mother has always loved Ling Rong, although she is grounded now, she is also very distressed, and she blames herself for not bringing up this family affair in the first place." β
"The queen mother is also very kind, not only wants to complete a couple, but also wants the two of us to make friends because of this, but who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen?"
King Qi said in a calm tone, and then lowered his eyes with some solemnity, and the guilt in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Alas, Lingrong is my only daughter, and my mother died early, so I have loved her the most since I was a child. She was reluctant to get married, but then she thought of her filial piety, and finally accepted this marriage, and even the wedding dress was ready, but she never thought that her fiancΓ© would make such a scandalous thing and be talked about like this behind her back. Now he is hiding at home and crying, saying that he will have no face in the future. β
"It's really embarrassing, and I suffered this misfortune when I got married for the first time. The prince shook his head, with a look of regret on his face, "But in the final analysis, I don't blame Gongzi Cheng or Master Cheng for this matter, we are all victims." β
"Having said that, if Master Cheng can have some self-control, he will not easily fall for the beauty trick of that dusty woman. β
King Qi said indifferently, still blaming Cheng Xuan in his words, and then faced the prince with both hands in fists, his attitude was very decisive.
"It's just that from now on, I'm afraid I won't have any marriage with the Cheng family again, after all, it is enough to lose this person once, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me. β
"Since they are the children of the Third Emperor Uncle, their marriage will naturally have to listen to you, the father, since the Third Emperor Uncle said so, how can the nephew refuse to agree?"
The prince said pleasantly, but he inevitably felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Cheng Yan and King Qi are not close on weekdays, and the reason why he thought of this family affair with Queen Zhao in the first place was also to use this marriage to bring the two closer, so that Cheng Yan, who had intentionally alienated himself before, could rejoin the camp.
However, now seeing that this family business is about to come to fruition immediately, he has made a halfway way to bite the gold and disrupt everything he has planned.
What made him even more troubled was that as soon as Cheng Xuan's incident came out, King Qi was obviously prejudiced against the Cheng family, which not only lacked a shortcut to win over Cheng Yan, even if the two of them could still coexist peacefully in the future, it was inevitable that they would have a grudge inside, and there would always be many uncertain factors, which made it difficult for people to feel at ease.
Although in the eyes of the prince, the so-called sincerity and true affection will always be the most humble and insignificant in the face of eternal interests.
Hearing His Highness say this, the old man was relieved. β
King Qi bowed slightly, then looked at the letter in his hand, and said with a suspicious expression: "It's just... This letter was not written by Lord Cheng himself, but by her wife, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really think it is credible?"
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that as long as you believe that it was Yanwangfu's doing, you and I will be more bitter in the future, and Gao Heng's future life will be even more sad. β
Thinking of this, the prince smiled slyly, raised his head and looked at King Qi with a serious expression, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Sanhuang is too worried, the Cheng family is deeply burdened by this matter, since he now knows that it is someone else who is making trouble, he naturally can't swallow this breath. Lord Cheng may also feel that his face can't hang up, so his wife came forward to write this letter and present it to the palace, and it will not be deliberately fabricated and made out of nothing. β
Thinking about it this way, the prince's original worried mood became much clearer for a while.
The bigger this matter is, the more unfavorable the rumors outside will be for the Cheng family, even if Cheng Yan is quiet on the surface, he must have a grudge against Yanwangfu in his heart.
In addition to the inherent interests, as long as Cheng Yan has hatred for Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi, even if he doesn't vigorously add fuel to the fire, find another way, and make Cheng Yan die for him again.
But there is no need to worry, this old fox will sneak into other people's camp and quietly help Gao Heng deal with himself.
"But why did they do this?" King Qi's eyes darkened when he heard this, "Since King Yan doesn't know the relationship between Cheng Yan and His Royal Highness... Or are they aware of it, so they ......?"
"Hongu thinks... Shouldn't that be the reason?" the prince shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "And according to Hongu's guess, the truth is exactly the opposite. β
"Oh, what does Your Highness say about this?"
"You must know that Master Cheng has a last resort, and he will definitely not betray himself. Secondly, his relatives will not, and neither will the people around the palace. Because they have no reason to do it, and even if they do, they won't get any benefit. The prince leaned forward and approached King Qi as he spoke, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Besides, even if you want to peel off the cocoon, you have to have a silk to draw, even if the third brother of this palace is shrewd, he has to find a cocoon that can make him pull the silk." β
Hearing the prince's words, King Qi nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the prince's eyes with a meaningful look.
"Your Highness seems to be confident in this matter. β
"Of course, Hongu is confident in everything. β
The prince raised his chin and smiled smugly, and suddenly tightened his cheeks, and although he lowered his voice, every word was heavy and clear.
"Including the throne that is destined to be obtained. β
