Chapter 412 Be careful, I'll take your life.
"Prince Shao? Why would you want to invite me to Hongfu Restaurant for dinner?"
Wanqiu was puzzled.
"Master, could it be that he really has improper thoughts about you?"
Lingfu asked nervously from the side.
"No, that's not it. I'm afraid he set up the banquet because he didn't get things done and was worried I'd have some grudges!"
After all, she had already given him the prescription for Bai Ling Ointment, and she wanted to hear his explanation for it.
Looking at Wu Weiwei's slightly furrowed bright eyes, Wanqiu took the handkerchief that Wu Weiwei handed her.
"Young lady, will you keep your appointment the day after tomorrow?"
At this point, Wu Weiwei raised her head.
"Go, why not go!"
In an alleyway in the capital, Princess Yazhen handed a letter and a gold leaf to a beggar.
"You must deliver this letter to Prince Min's residence, do you understand?"
The little beggar, dressed in rumpled clothes, looked at the small leaf shimmering with golden light. Suppressing his excitement, he nodded earnestly and said, "Don't worry, miss, I will definitely deliver it to you!"
Looking at the boy with his dirty face, Princess Yazhen suppressed her disgust, her face revealing a fierce expression.
"If you lose this letter, you'd better watch out, I'll take your life!"
"No, no, you can rest assured!"
Princess Yazhen only stopped feeling disgusted after the little beggar disappeared from sight.
snort!
If this matter weren't so important, why would she, a princess of Xiliang, associate with such a lowly person?
The letter that the little beggar sent to Prince Min's mansion was eventually obtained by Qin Baihe.
Unfortunately, her unborn child was acting up today, and just as she was about to leave the manor, she encountered a little beggar who was delivering a message to Prince Min's residence.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Qin Baihe stopped him.
She already knew that King Min had met the princess of Xiliang at Hongfulou today and warmly invited her to dine there.
How long have they been apart?
Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, the princess sent another letter.
Qin Baihe's deep eyes flickered.
Looking at the letter in his hand, although he hadn't opened it to read its contents, he figured it couldn't be anything good.
"Master, why don't you open it and take a look?"
Seeing Qin Baihe's hesitant expression, as if she wanted to see but dared not, her maidservant encouraged her.
Qin Baihe glanced at the maid.
"What do you know?
This is for Prince Min. If I dare to open it without permission, wouldn't he depose me?
Qin Baihe touched her lower abdomen. Her position as a concubine was obtained by exchanging the blood and bones in her womb, and it was inherently unstable.
The other day at the auction, Prince Min almost spent all his wealth to buy Wu Weiwei's worthless pills. Because of this, Prince Min almost kicked himself out of the palace.
If she dares to open his letter today and he finds out, he will probably be furious again.
Looking at the letter in her hand, Qin Baihe was also extremely curious to know if the princess of Xiliang Kingdom and her husband were having an affair.
After all, if the two suddenly become intimate, it's hard to say it's not that kind of thing.
Just as she couldn't resist reaching for the seal on the envelope, she heard the servant outside the door call out, "The prince is back."
This shout instantly brought Qin Baihe back to her senses.
She grabbed the envelope.
"Quick, help me to the main hall!"
She wanted to personally deliver the letter to His Highness.
in the hall.
Prince Min sipped the tea that the steward had just served him, his brow furrowed with a hint of melancholy.
During court today, his father suddenly spoke to him at length with great earnestness, and he thought his father would give him a good position.
In the end, he actually said that he was old and frail and that he was going to pass away before he could go on, so he planned to abdicate the throne and hand it over to the crown prince.
He also instructed him that his concubine was pregnant with his child, and that he should do more good deeds for the benefit of the people, which would also be considered as accumulating blessings for his unborn child.
In a while, we will find him a good marriage and a princess of good birth so that he can assist the crown prince in governing the country of Wei.
These words infuriated King Min.
What's this all about?
Was he merely a foil to the crown prince from childhood to adulthood?
How could Father Emperor know that he lacked the ability to govern the country?
Why is it that the cowardly and incompetent crown prince can become the emperor of this Great Wei, while he is only fit to be a supporting character?
While Prince Min was feeling depressed, he heard the voice of a servant outside the door.
"Greetings, Consort!"
Upon hearing that it was Qin Baihe, King Min frowned slightly.
I was already feeling annoyed, why did she have to come and cause trouble?
"Your Highness, I've brought you ginseng tea!"
Qin Baituo, supporting his back, walked heavily to King Min's side.
"Such tiring work can be done by servants in the future. Why did you have to deliver it yourself?"
Seeing Qin Baihe in this state, Prince Min ultimately held back the scolding he was about to utter.
Seeing that Min Wang's initial impatience turned into heartache, Qin Baihe felt satisfied.
“Your Highness, you are Baihe’s heaven, how can I not put you first in everything?”
"Besides, I heard from Song Qi that you haven't eaten since you returned. What's wrong, Your Highness? Has Father given you some troublesome task?"
Hearing Qin Baihe's concern, Min Wang's expression immediately relaxed.
So he told Qin Baihe everything the emperor had instructed him to do that day.
Listening to Prince Min's complaints about the emperor, Qin Baihe was not surprised at all.
Unexpectedly, the emperor valued the crown prince so much that he even had another son serve as a foil to help him.
However, when she thought of what Prince Min had inadvertently mentioned—that the Emperor wanted to find him a princess of high birth—Qin Baihe's eyes flickered.
If that's really the case, then wouldn't she have no place in Prince Min's mansion?
Qin Bai gripped the letter tightly in her sleeve. No, she was the mistress of this palace; how could she allow another princess to oppress her?
Thinking of letters, Qin Baihe suddenly changed her mind.
……
After returning from Prince Min's place, Qin Baihe opened the letter in her hand.
Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Qin Baihe had an expression that said, "Just as I expected."
The letter was indeed written by the princess of Xiliang, but it was certainly not a good thing.
It's nothing more than some tricks to frame her, and it's even aimed at her enemy, Wu Weiwei.
However, she will make the Western Liang princess's plan even more perfect.
After reading the letter, Qin Baihe looked at her maid, Xiaoying.
"Go and give this letter to Song Qi. Tell him that the gatekeeper delivered it to the wrong person and that he should take it to His Highness immediately!"
Looking at Qin Baihe's twisted smile, her maid Xiaoying thought to herself that her mistress was truly fickle.
I just got a scolding for advising her to read the letter, but a little while later, she opened it herself.
However, as a servant, she simply did whatever her master asked her to do.
"Yes, master."
Watching the maid walk out of the room, Qin Baihe revealed a peculiar smile.
After Princess Yazhen returned to the post station, she inquired about Shao Zhan's whereabouts with Xishan.
Hearing that he had locked himself in his study, Princess Yazhen left without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xishan was completely bewildered.
In the past, when her mistress was in a bad mood, the princess would always inquire about the crown prince's condition. But this time, the princess turned her attention to the crown prince instead.
Could it be that the princess is still angry because the crown prince didn't personally go to coax her back today?
After Princess Yazhen had been gone for a while, the door to the study was opened from the inside.
Then, Shao Zhan, looking exhausted, opened the door.
"Xishan, was the imperial sister here just now?"
"Uh, Your Highness, it's the Princess. She just came specifically to inquire about your condition..."
Hearing the servant's evasive words, Shao Zhan gave a bitter smile.
"Alright, stop trying to cover for her. Is she still angry that I didn't pick her up?"
"Well, I think the princess will come to her senses in a few days..."
Xi Shan stammered and hesitated.
"Never mind, let her be!"
After all, they might be returning to Xiliang in a few days.
However, what Shao Zhan did not expect was that what he thought would happen in a few days turned into a major incident at Hongfulou two days later.
