Chapter 143: The princess asks to see
When the four princesses returned to the palace, the four princes happened to be in the palace.
Seeing her in a hurry, the fourth prince couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Princess, where have you been, why is your face like this?" ”
"Something happened, the prince, I just separated from Concubine Xiao of the Prince's Mansion, and she came to me for some things."
"Concubine Xiao?" The fourth prince asked suspiciously, "Why did she look for you?" ”
The fourth prince is often with the prince, and he inevitably meets with Xiao Luxi a lot, he also knows a little about this woman, and knows that she is not a good stubble, although she usually seems to be not fighting or grabbing in the prince's mansion, but in fact she is just waiting for the opportunity.
The fourth princess is also a little remorseful now, if she knew that this Concubine Xiao had such a deep plan, she would definitely not go to meet her.
"Today, Concubine Xiao sent the maid beside her to send me a message, saying that she wanted to meet me, I didn't know what she wanted to do, I was curious, so I went to meet her." The fourth princess said.
The fourth prince frowned, knowing that this matter must not be simple, and hurriedly asked, "Then what did she say?" ”
The fourth princess looked at the fourth princess, bit her lip and said, "She said that she would help me keep the position of princess, and then find a way to let Lord Xiao put pressure on my father and let my father take the princess." ”
"What?" The fourth prince was shocked: "Isn't this nonsense? If she really enters the palace, something will happen, do you agree? ”
The fourth princess nodded slowly, and explained: "I only found out afterwards that she did this, if I knew at the beginning, Duan Ran would not have agreed and caused trouble for you and the crown prince." ”
Although the fourth prince was anxious and angry in his heart, when he saw the princess's regretful appearance, he couldn't bear to blame, so he had to comfort: "Since the matter is already like this, it is useless to say more, the top priority is to find a way to solve this matter, but, so good, why does she want to help you?" ”
"She said that she wanted me to help her compete for the position of crown princess after I succeeded." The fourth princess didn't dare to hide it.
"This woman really has a big heart, she really thinks that she will become the crown princess so easily? Did she take the prince for a fool? The fourth prince shook his head helplessly, he knew the prince best, although the prince seemed to be indifferent to the things around him, he actually knew it very well in his heart.
Even if there is no Ruan Wanwan, the prince will not let her be the crown princess.
"What else did she say?"
The fourth princess rang for a while, shook her head and said, "That's probably it, I'm afraid that she will really go to Lord Xiao to give her father a fold, so I'll come back and tell you quickly." ”
"Don't panic." The fourth prince pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not as simple as she thought, even if Lord Xiao wants to persuade his father, he has to wait for the opportunity, he will not be so reckless, but now that we know their strategy, it is easy to say." ”
When the fourth princess heard him say this, her anxious heart was also relieved.
"However, if there is such a thing in the future, the princess must discuss it with the king first, you know?" The fourth prince said to her solemnly.
The fourth princess thought that the fourth princess was blaming herself, but she actually knew that she was reckless today, so she whispered: "I know that this matter is my fault, and I will discuss it with you in the future before making a decision." ”
"This king doesn't mean that," the fourth prince took her hand and said softly: "This king doesn't want the princess to be involved in these struggles, these things, I alone is enough." ”
The fourth princess was moved in her heart, "I know the prince, I will act cautiously in the future." ”
The fourth prince nodded, this matter is now a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to say this, the most important thing is to stop the Xiao family's actions.
So, he sent a secret guard to inquire about the news of the Xiao family, whether it was in the court or in private, he always paid attention to the Xiao family's actions, intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that it would be too late to stop it and ruin the matter between him and Bei Liangye.
However, his behavior was too obvious, and he had already been seen by Bei Liangye.
After the two of them finished handling business this day, Bei Liangye couldn't help but ask about it.
"Why are you so concerned about the situation of the Xiao family these days, but what is there to hide from me?"
This matter was originally provoked by the four princesses, so the four princes originally intended to deal with it by themselves and not let him worry about it, but now that Bei Liangye saw it, he no longer hid it, so he told him about the four princesses and Xiao Luxi.
Bei Liangye had a cold face and said angrily: "What a concubine Xiao, she dares to do such a small action under my nose, she thinks she is the daughter of the Xiao family, so she can really do nonsense?" ”
Although this Xiao Luxi usually pretends to be dignified, Bei Liangye doesn't know her temper, but she usually doesn't do anything excessive on her face, so he doesn't care about her, and as long as she stays in the East Palace obediently in the future, don't have any out-of-the-ordinary ideas, she will naturally not treat her badly, let her be her crown princess and concubine.
"Prince, this matter is indeed the princess's fault, don't worry, I will solve it." The fourth prince said apologetically.
Bei Liangye has never regarded him as an outsider, so naturally he will not think like this, "I don't blame the fourth princess for this, but thanks to the princess, I can see her ambition clearly, otherwise I don't know how she will deal with the crown princess in the future." ”
"What should I do now, prince? I've got the guards on my side, but I'm still worried about it. The fourth prince had a worried expression on his face.
"Keep staring, no matter what happens, let them report in time, I don't believe that this Xiao family can make any big waves, princess? Hmph, don't think about it, she never wants to sit in this position in her life! ”
Bei Liangye now wants to rush to Xiao Luxi's room immediately and drive her out of the East Palace, but because of the Xiao family and the emperor, he can't do it for the time being, but even if there is no way to move her now, it doesn't mean that she can deal with Ruan Wanwan.
"But now with the status of the Xiao family in the court, we still can't underestimate it, the prince, we still want to think of countermeasures in advance, in case this Xiao family really doesn't know whether to live or die, and does something out of the ordinary, we can deal with it."
The fourth prince knew Bei Liangye's feelings for Ruan Wanwan, and even he could tolerate anyone to deal with him, but he would never allow anyone to pay attention to Ruan Wanwan.
This matter needs to be resolved this morning, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Bei Liangye thought for a moment, felt that he was right, and nodded.
As soon as the two sat down, they were about to discuss the affairs of the Xiao family, when suddenly the guards entered the house and reported: "The prince, the fourth prince, the princess asks to see." ”
"Princess?"
Both of them were stunned, what could this princess do when she came to the East Palace at this time?
