Chapter Ninety-Six: Cooperation
Leaving Qi Zhongliu's courtyard, Chu Tianshu went to Qi Yingzhi's courtyard again.
Qi Yingzhi was also absent.
But Jenny was there.
"Be careful." Jenny reminded: "Some people in the mansion think that you killed the prince, so they have some hostility towards you. ”
"Just some hostility?" Chu Tianshu asked.
"Yes, it's just some, Miss said, not to the extent of hands-on."
"Is that so?" Chu Tianshu nodded: "Then I should thank you and Miss Six." ”
What are some hostilities afraid of?
He is still hostile to the moon, which shines with the sun.
"Since it's only to this extent, I can go to the pillar incense in front of the prince's spirit." Chu Tianshu maintained his sadness: "After all, the prince is kind to me. ”
Jenny stared at Chu Tianshu for a long time, and doubts appeared on her beautiful face.
"Then I'll go first."
"There you go." Jenny thought for a moment, "But I advise you not to say anything. ”
"Not everyone knows about your relationship with the nobles in the palace."
"Some people are very willing to show their faces for the sake of the right to inherit the throne."
"Thanks for the reminder."
If only for the sake of the succession to the throne......
That old man is quite a failure.
King Chen's mourning hall has already been set up, and the sons and nephews of the palace are scattered among them, and from time to time distant relatives of the palace come to join in the condolences.
Because he was assassinated, King Chen's funeral did not officially begin according to the nine-day system of Dayun custom.
The date of the burial is also unknown.
Therefore, ice cubes were prepared in the palace and placed around the mourning hall and under the coffin to ensure that the body would not decay for the time being.
The mourning hall is particularly quiet and cold because of the large amount of ice placed in it.
The faint cry was endless.
But judging from the scene, the saddest thing is not the young masters and ladies in fancy clothes, but some outsiders and domestic servants who have been favored by Qi.
Of course, not all people of status are not sad.
At least, Chu Tianshu could see that several of King Chen's wives and concubines were quite sad.
When he arrived at the mourning hall, Chu Tianshu was about to step forward to offer incense, and take the opportunity to observe and find his target, when someone next to him suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled Chu Tianshu's shoulder, and pulled him aside.
Chu Tianshu didn't resist and glanced back.
It was Qi Yingzhi who pulled him.
"Miss Six?" Chu Tianshu was puzzled.
"Your identity is not good to go to condole, so don't go over." Qi Yingzhi said.
She still had a dead face, and she couldn't see any expression at all.
Chu Tianshu thought for a while and nodded: "Thank you Miss Sixth for reminding me." ”
"You come ......" Qi Yingzhi frowned: "You don't just want to come over to see the old man's funeral, right?" ”
"His Royal Highness King Chen has been kind to me."
"Hmph." The corners of Qi Yingzhi's mouth seemed to pull out a mocking smile: "Just as if you are here to condole." ”
"Come with me." Qi Yingzhi walked ahead.
Chu Tianshu watched her go to no one's place and frowned slightly.
What does this woman want to do?
"Miss Six." Chu Tianshu hurriedly followed.
"I've been waiting for you in the house for a long time." Qi Yingzhi said as she walked.
"Miss Six wants to see me, just find someone to call me, or go to the factory to find me, I will usually be in the factory."
"I also have things to do, I don't have that time, today is to catch up." Qi Yingzhi explained.
As the two spoke, they came to a pond where no one was around.
"Have you met Princess Heyang?"
"I've seen it." Chu Tianshu nodded.
"So, what do you ...... with Miss Xie?"
"Princess Heyang agreed."
At least on the surface, there is no opposition.
This is very evil.
Qi Yingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
"There are two things."
"The first."
"You've always had some plans to make money by making something in the factory, right?"
"Yes." Chu Tianshu nodded.
"Good." Qi Yingzhi was very satisfied: "I will give you the Chiyang Factory." ”
Chu Tianshu felt a little confused: "Sixth Miss? ”
Send a factory?
With such a big investment, what does she want to gain?
"The old thing is dead, and the throne in the house is vacant." Qi Yingzhi stared at Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu suddenly said: "Sixth Miss wants to be King Chen?" ”
Qi Yingzhi looked at Chu Tianshu suspiciously: "What? ”
"Isn't Miss Six trying to emulate His Royal Highness King Song?"
The women of the Yun Dynasty can actually inherit the throne.
This was unexpected by Chu Tianshu before.
"King Song." Qi Yingzhi sighed: "I don't have this idea. ”
"My mind has never changed." Qi Yingzhi said seriously: "I hope Qi Zhongliu can sit on the throne." ”
"Seventeenth Young Master?"
According to Chu Tianshu's knowledge, the comparison of the abilities of the two people, even if Qi Yingzhi, as a woman, may have some obstacles when inheriting the throne, the possibility of her succeeding to the throne is still higher than that of Qi Zhongliu.
At least, if she wanted to, she could easily get Qin Yi on her side.
"That's him." Qi Yingzhi nodded: "Since you can talk to Princess Heyang, this matter is actually not difficult for you." ”
Chu Tianshu frowned: "Sixth Miss, I don't understand it very well...... Why make simple things so complicated? ”
On King Yuan's Day, Qin Yi invited Qi Yingzhi to meet her mother.
If that noble lady really had such great energy, she could decide the ownership of the throne of "King Chen".
Qi Yingzhi went to the banquet, even if she didn't go over as a daughter-in-law, she only needed to show an attitude, with Qin Yi's feelings for Qi Yingzhi, it was unlikely that the noble lady would not help her only son.
Why is she spending such a lot of money to ask for her help now?
Chu Tianshu didn't believe that Qi Yingzhi couldn't see the problem here.
She must have had something else in mind.
"There are some things that I don't want to do." Qi Yingzhi's face was expressionless, and she only glanced at Chu Tianshu: "It's like you kill an old thing." ”
Chu Tianshu's heart jumped.
On his face, there was confusion: "Miss Six? ”
"Not many people know about it." Qi Yingzhi said flatly: "You don't need to do anything to kill people. ”
"Miss Six means...... I killed His Royal Highness King Chen? Chu Tianshu was shocked and uncertain.
"As long as you help me, no matter whether it works out or not, the Chiyang Factory is yours." Qi Yingzhi said: "If you want to go into the mourning hall to find someone......
Qi Yingzhi thought for a while: "Actually, if you go in, you probably won't be able to find the person you are looking for." ”
"It's better for us to cooperate."
"In addition to giving you the Chiyang factory."
"I can also help you find the person you're looking for."
"Even if you want to kill them, I can provide you with some convenience."
Chu Tianshu's face was ignorant.
Qi Yingzhi didn't look at Chu Tianshu's reaction, but said, "I'll wait for your reply." ”
"Three days."
