The Lin family and the Ye family had no measures to perform, so they could only watch the "pen, ink, paper and inkstone" shop prosper, while their own shop was empty every day, in the words of passers-by, that is, even flies did not want to fly in.

The two heads of the family met secretly with the third prince, discussed countermeasures, and finally decided to lower the price of their shop, but for the shop opened by the prince, the price was still a little high.

Occasionally, some nobles would go to visit, and usually they really didn't want to fly in even a little bird.

The three princes secretly met with the two of them again, but they were accidentally knocked into the door.

After the whole thing came out, rumors began on the street.

"Have you heard, the third prince is the person behind the Lin family and the Ye family, it turns out that they raised the price of paper so high, in fact, it was the idea of the third prince."

"What are you, I have heard about it, there are only two side concubines in the Three Princes' Mansion so far, I heard that one belongs to the Ye family and the other belongs to the Lin family, so in this way, the three princes are actually their sons-in-law."

"No wonder, it turns out that they got married, the price of paper has been so high over the years, the third prince must have reaped a lot of benefits."

"Shhhh

The third prince sat in the private room next door, and when he heard the conversation of those people, his face was extremely gloomy.

commanded Wu Liang, and then left.

After drinking enough, several young people in the private room next door went out together, but on the way home, they were surrounded by a group of men in black, and they were either killed or maimed.

Wu Liang swept the tail and cleaned everything up, and there was no evidence at the scene.

Even if the Criminal Department took over the case, there was no clue at all.

Not long after, new rumors arose, this time like a spark that could start a prairie fire, quickly flowing through the streets and alleys.

Even there were some rumors in the palace, the emperor was in the imperial study, heard the news, was furious, called the leader of the dragon guard, and directly investigated the matter.

At that time, the third child brought back two girls from outside, saying that they were rescued on the road.

The grace of saving lives must be promised by oneself.

Later, the third child wanted to appoint two of them as side concubines, and he was naturally suspicious, after all, with the character of the third child, he would definitely not do such a thing without any benefit.

He sent someone to investigate, and the matter was true, the two girls were indeed rescued by the third child on the road.

Later, the third child was also obsessed with beauty for a while, which dispelled his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, this matter was made out, and it was in another version that he didn't know, how could he not be angry in his heart?!

If those rumors in the market are true, then the two girls are really from the Lin family and the Ye family, and the huge profits in the paper business over the years are enough for the third child to do something.

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor's heart hurt a little when he was angry, these sons of his are really thoughtful, and they dare to hide such an important matter from him, their hearts can be punished.

After the third prince heard these rumors in the mansion, he secretly said "it's bad" in his heart, with his father's character, he must not know what to think of him at this time, and it is estimated that someone must have been sent to investigate at this time.

If you really want to investigate, it must be that the paper can't contain the fire, why was he so cheap at that time?

took a fancy to the interests of that point, and then planned such a play.

Although he has made people do a good job, if his father really wants to investigate, he can definitely find out.

In this situation, it is really difficult for him to ride a tiger, especially now that he is in the limelight, if his father suspects him of ulterior motives, then his life will be over.

The third prince walked anxiously around the study, and he didn't have anything to do now.

Just when the three princes were worried, there was a knock on the door, and the three princes were stunned:

"Who?"

"Your Highness, it's a concubine."

"I have something to deal with now, if you have something, I'll talk about it when I'm free."

"Your Highness, the concubine knows why you are worried, so the concubine has come to offer you advice."

Concubine Lin stood at the door, her voice was extremely gentle, the door was opened in an instant, and she was directly pulled into the house by the third prince.

"You just said you had a plan?"

"Yes."

Concubine Lin nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then firmness, this man in front of her was her husband and her everything.

Over the years, although she has been a side concubine, he has never done anything to be sorry for her, on the contrary, he has always been gentle with her.

If she could do something for him, even if it was death, she would be willing.

"What's the strategy?"

"Your Highness, why don't you push me out......"

Concubine Lin looked at the shocked face of the third prince, and felt a trace of relief in her heart, she was still hesitant, but at this moment, she felt that she had died without regrets.

"Yan'er, this is not fair to you."

"Your Royal Highness, sacrificing me alone, fulfilling everyone, and dispelling the emperor's suspicions, isn't it the best of both worlds."

"This will wronged you."

The mind of the third prince is already active, Lin Yan is right, if Lin Yan is pushed out, he may be able to deal with his father for a while, but if he wants to dispel his father's doubts, I am afraid it is unlikely.

However, when there is no way to do it at this moment, it can be worth a try.

I made up my mind that in front of Concubine Lin, I still need to pretend.

"It's okay, Your Highness, it's something I willingly do."

"Let me think about it."

The third prince couldn't wait to agree immediately, but he took care of the Lin family, and still took his attitude.

"Then the concubine will retire first."

Concubine Lin left, and the third prince immediately thought about the plan, how to do it, so that he could look more perfect.

In the evening, the third prince walked to Concubine Lin's courtyard and saw Concubine Lin sitting there, she should have been waiting for him.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry."

A word full of apologies made Concubine Lin's eyes red.

Although she made that decision, she didn't want His Highness to appear at this moment, but she also wanted to appear, and this contradiction made her a little overwhelmed.

Now that he heard the words of the third prince, he felt a little lost in his heart, and he strengthened his thoughts again.

After a while of whispering, the third prince went to bed directly at Concubine Lin's place, and Concubine Ye frowned after hearing this.

For Concubine Lin, who sacrificed herself, she really didn't know what to say.

But that's fine, even if Lin Yan does this, it may make His Highness feel guilty, but time is the medicine that heals everything.

She believes that when this difficulty passes, after a long time, His Highness's heart will not be entangled so much.

After arriving, His Royal Highness has really ascended the throne, so he who has been by his side for the longest time will definitely be able to be more powerful, and even say that he can become the queen.

After all, with the Lin family and the Ye family watching there, His Royal Highness will definitely not snub her.

Lin Yan volunteered to sacrifice, this is the best choice.
