Chapter 181 The two Han princes conspired together
She had heard before that the King of Han had chosen her elder sister, but she didn't think so. She believed that in many things, man should conquer nature, and she was not weaker than her elder sister at all!
Thinking of this, she decided to do it immediately, so she asked someone to pass a message to the Prince of Han, saying that they would meet in Hanwu Tower tomorrow, and she had something important to discuss with him!
As for how she could go out, it was not a difficult thing. After all, she had stayed at home obediently for so many years. No one would have thought that she would run out, so naturally they would not be on guard.
The next day.
The Prince of Han arrived a moment earlier. When he received the message, he used the name of Pei Zitian. He had some understanding of the second son of the Pei family and knew that he was actually Marshal Pei's most beloved son, so he condescended to come.
As a result, after waiting for two quarters of an hour, no one came, so he naturally became impatient. He thought that he was being fooled by the Pei family, so he got angry and prepared to leave, but he saw Pei Zixing who came late.
Although she was young and looked sick, she was indeed good-looking. Moreover, she had dressed up carefully today. Not only had she applied a thick layer of peach blossom powder to cover up the paleness of her face, but she also put on crimson lip balm on her lips, and painted her eyebrows and eyes. She looked like a beauty on paper. The Prince of Han had seen many beauties, but he was still attracted by her appearance and couldn't take his eyes away.
"you are?"
"I am Pei Zixing, the second daughter of the Pei family."
"Oh, you are the sickly child born by Aunt An. I have heard of you, but why are you here with your second brother?"
The three words "sickly boy" sounded very unpleasant to Pei Zixing's ears, but she could only bear it. Although the Prince of Han's words were unpleasant, she could only rely on him at the moment, so she said with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but the one who is coming to see you today is not my second brother, but myself."
"You? What do you want to see me for?"
Although the Prince of Han is not smart and does not have the extraordinary abilities of Pei Zisu, he has been with his father for so many years that he still understands some things. At least he knows that one does not come to the temple without a request!
He also knew a little about the affairs of Madam Pei and Aunt An, so before Pei Zixing spoke, he roughly guessed that this Second Madam Pei was probably looking for him to deal with Pei Zisu! As expected, he heard Pei Zixing speak immediately afterwards.
"I want my aunt to be the legitimate wife, so that my second brother and I can no longer be illegitimate children, but legitimate children of the Pei family. Why can the eldest branch have such a great influence in the army, while we can only hide at home and deal with trivial matters? I think the prince has the same idea as me. You are obviously the son of the King of Han and the most reasonable heir to Hanzhou in the future. Why do people now say that the glory of Hanzhou has been snatched away by Pei Zisu when they mention Hanzhou? Therefore, I have a bold request. I wonder if I can join forces with you. If Pei Zisu can be overthrown, I am willing to use all the power of the Pei family to help the prince seize the supreme position."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Han smiled at first, but then he couldn't help but add some sarcasm.
Pei Zisu was actually not easy to mess with, otherwise he would not have failed to gain any advantage for so many years, so his desire for Pei Zixing's beauty disappeared from his eyes and he said something threateningly.
"Miss Pei, you are really fanciful. You are saying things here so openly that my father has never thought of them. Are you really the brainless talk of a woman in the harem, or has Marshal Pei said something to you in private that you shouldn't have said? How dare you be so bold!" After saying this, the Prince of Han looked over with his eyes wide open, trying to scare Pei Zixing. Although their thoughts were already obvious, he was still a little dissatisfied when they were spoken openly from the mouth of such a woman.
"Besides, who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate with me here? Pei Zisu may have a million faults, but he is absolutely loyal to my father. If I join hands with you to offend him, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? You are such a fool!"
After saying that, he was about to get up and leave, but he heard Pei Zixing laugh, with contempt and disdain in his tone, which dealt a heavy blow to the Prince of Han.
"I never thought that the prince would be such a person. If that's the case, then I won't say anything more. I've come here in vain. Please go, prince."
"What? After teasing me, do you think you can run away?"
Then he looked Pei Zixiang up and down, and his lust for her appearance became aroused. However, he was just trying to scare her, and ended up hearing Pei Zixiang speak calmly.
"Your Highness, don't dare. Although I am just a concubine's daughter, I am very much loved by my father. If anything goes wrong with me, Your Highness will not be able to explain to my father!"
"This prince has never been afraid to explain to anyone, so what about Marshal Pei? Even if I killed you here today, you shamelessly came to me. You should know that you made an appointment with me first!"
Pei Zixing looked at the prince in front of her. It was just as she guessed. A man like him had his mind exposed. It was easy for her to control him. So she was not afraid and spoke directly to him.
"Then go ahead and give it a try, Prince! I have only one worthless life anyway. If I can't bring down my elder brother, then dragging you down with me won't be a waste of my life!"
Her somewhat crazy look made the Prince of Han retreat repeatedly. He didn't want to provoke these crazy women, but he also had a deep understanding of her determination to overthrow Pei Zisu. Then he was silent for a moment before asking a question.
"Do you really want to overthrow your eldest brother?"
"The grudge between Pei Zisu and I is huge, but I think the prince seems to be afraid of Pei Zisu, so I'd better find someone else. Regarding today's meeting, if the prince wants to complain to Pei Zisu, then go ahead. I don't care about it anyway, but if I find a chance to catch something that can nail Pei Zisu to death, I will never show mercy."
To the ears of the Prince of Han, his words were much better than any sweet talk. Since he could remember, everyone had been praising Pei Zisu in front of him for how powerful and capable he was, even his father, so of course he was filled with anger.
After hearing about Pei Zixiang's great hatred, he felt that this was a godsend opportunity. All big families are rotten from the inside. Perhaps he really had a chance to deal with Pei Zisu. Therefore, the ferocious face he had just revealed turned into a somewhat friendly look as he looked at Pei Zixiang, his eyes full of inquiry.
