Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 424 Subpoena

In the mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, the room was filled with a faint aroma of medicine. The eldest prince Qin Mingyu was leaning against the head of the bed. He couldn't help the itch in his nose and sneezed.

"Your Highness."

The eldest prince's wife, Zheng, quickly handed over a handkerchief and said angrily, "It's all Zhang's fault. She gave birth to your highness's eldest son, but she still dragged your highness into mischief."

Concubine Zhang became even more proud after giving birth to the emperor's eldest grandson.

"Okay, stop complaining about her. The imperial physician said that I'm fine. You also know that she gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. What about you?

Xiaojiu will soon be of age and marry a wife. His legitimate son will give birth to a legitimate grandson, and he will be honored with a lot of money. But what about my eldest prince's wife and my legitimate son?"

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu placed his hand on the belly of the eldest prince's wife Zheng, smiling and joking.

The eldest prince's wife Zheng was about to retort when a servant outside the door came to report that Liu Jingzhou had arrived, so she straightened her face and left.

Just as the eldest prince was wiping his nose with a handkerchief with tears in his eyes, Liu Jingzhou happened to arrive.

"I heard from the attendants that Your Highness is ill. What does the imperial physician say?"

Liu Jingzhou glanced at the eldest prince and saw that although his face did not look sickly, he did look a little unwell after catching a cold, so he raised his eyebrows.

He thought that the eldest prince was reminded of the cases of Concubine Yu and the third prince, and thinking about what they had done to Concubine Shun Shi Qingzhang, he deliberately pretended to be sick and avoided the topic.

"It's okay, I just accidentally caught a cold last night." In fact, when they were taking a bath together, they did some unspeakable things. The water was cold, and they caught a cold.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu waved his hand and said, "It's just a minor illness. Drink the soup to dispel the cold and sweat it out. Don't worry about it. Is there any news from the palace?"

"I heard from my uncle (Liu Lifang) that the situation of His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not good. I asked for your opinion. I mean, I don't recommend that Your Highness get involved."

"This is Xiaojiu's first time as a consul, and as his eldest brother, I am unable to help him. It's such a pity!" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu's tone of regret and the ambiguous malice in his eyes were intertwined.

"Come closer, can you set up a trap for Xiaojiu to wrongly convict him? Let him learn a lesson and improve himself in the future?"

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu leaned close to Liu Jingzhou's ear and whispered.

"Then, we can help the third brother to overturn the case and gain his loyalty, is that feasible?"

The fourth brother has a stubborn personality, and he is not sure he can bring the free-spirited fourth brother under his command. However, the third brother has always been a soft-hearted person. After being accused of being unfilial, how can he still muster up the courage?

Helping the third brother does not necessarily mean helping him get rid of the stigma of secretly harming his adoptive mother.

He is extremely filial to his adoptive mother, Concubine Shun, and is unwilling to believe that anyone would harm her. He tries his best to protect his third brother. Is this safe?

Seeing Liu Jingzhou's disapproving expression, the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, who was eager to try, sighed lightly, feeling it was a pity.

Well, there is a risk of being exposed, and it would be bad if it arouses my mother's suspicion.

Although my mother is not favored by the emperor, she is loyal to my mother and has her uses. My concubine is favored by the emperor and is now pregnant. When she gives birth, what gift should I send to her to express my gratitude?

"Come to think of it, fourth brother can sit still." The eldest prince Qin Mingyu sighed.

It’s different for a person to have a mother who has a say in the imperial court. He will feel very confident.

No matter how noisy the rumors are, he can remain calm as a mountain, which is really admirable.

"Your Highness, there is no need to prove yourself. As long as you can keep calm, then there is nothing wrong."

Liu Jingzhou lowered his eyes, ignored the injustice in the eldest prince's eyes, and nodded.

......

"Your Highness, the twelfth prince sent a message from the palace, saying that he wants your guidance in his studies. I wonder when your Highness will be free." The two of them looked at the servant who was kneeling behind the screen to report the news.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu frowned, feeling puzzled.

"I'm afraid the twelfth prince has received some news and wants to tell Your Highness in person." Liu Jingzhou said softly.

"News?" The eldest prince Qin Mingyu's eyes flashed.

In these troubled times, red and white, good and bad, come one after another. This disaster is like the game of pass the parcel, and no one knows who will get it next.

Thirteenth Prince drowned, and he was implicated. The Fourth Prince accepted the flower. What would happen? Who would be affected by the intrigues between Concubine Yu, the Third Prince, and other concubines? Would the flower pass through his hands again?

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu recalled the two times he wanted to abort his mother's fetus and prevent Twelve from being born. He took the warm water handed to him by Liu Jingzhou, took a sip, and moistened his lips.

The beginning and the end should have been cleaned up at the beginning.

Twelve is fine now and in excellent health. He didn't succeed, and no one will know what happened that year, so nothing happened.
