Chapter 199: The Prince's Inhumanity in Taking Personal Revenge

"Yes, you are a capable person. You seem calm on the surface, but you actually know everything about the family. You are the future successor of my father. In this case, I will not hide it. Until now, only Your Majesty knows my identity. Even Princess Qinghuan and the Crown Prince are still in the dark. Now you are the second person, so I don't want this news to be known by a third person. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, father. I understand."

"What you and I should do is not to participate in party disputes, but to serve His Majesty, and future Majesties, whoever they may be."

Prince Chun's words clearly told Song Shiye that even Princess Qinghuan had a great chance of becoming the empress of Dasui. When he thought of this possibility, he felt that it was fortunate that he had the memory of his past life, otherwise he would have to be deceived by his father for many more years before he could react. Then he nodded and said.

"I understand what you mean, father. I will handle it properly. But I have a question. Have we arranged a killer to kill Pei Zisu?"

"Well, the candidate has been decided, but the timing has not yet come. Now Pei Zisu has been staying in the army, and we must find an opportunity for him to be single before we can take action. There is news that he brought his newly married wife to the army and made her his wife."

When Song Shiye heard the words "Military Lady", he was obviously a little angry, but he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to reveal such an obvious attitude at the moment, so he immediately restrained himself. Taking advantage of the matter of Prince Consort Cheng, he came up with a new idea.

"Father, let me handle the issue of Prince Consort Cheng's background. Hanzhou has been peaceful for so many years, it's time for some turmoil. Didn't the prince of Han marry the daughter of the Xie family in Xuzhou? I will go and join in the fun. As for the assassination of Pei Zisu, leave it to me. I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

"Now?"

"Of course, I just want to kill him by surprise. For many things, the longer we wait, the less chance we have of success. But if we can lurk beside him and observe carefully, if we have a chance to defeat him, then Hanzhou will be in our pocket, right?"

Prince Chun did not agree with his words.

The Pei family and Pei Zisu are not easy to deal with, otherwise he would have taken action long ago after so many years. Originally, they could use the incident at Lanyue Tower to wipe out all of Hanzhou's spies hidden in Xijing City, but for some reason, those people disappeared inexplicably.

He had a feeling that spies were still densely spread in Xijing City, but all the information he had followed for so many years had vanished into thin air. He had to start the investigation all over again. One could imagine the methods of the Pei family!

So when he took a look at the prince, he always felt that there was some love and hatred involved, but his son married the second daughter of the Jiang family, so what did it have to do with Pei Zisu?
After thinking about it a few times, I finally asked a question.

"Do you regret marrying the second daughter of the Jiang family, and still have thoughts about the eldest daughter in your heart?"

"This is just my son's little anger. Among all the noble families in Dasui, the Pei family is the most difficult to control, and no other family can be compared with it. Father knows this too! Pei Zisu is obviously only the son of a military commander, but his status is far higher than that of us royal relatives. If we keep him for another day, he will be a greater threat in the future. Southern Tang has been quiet for a long time. Even if Pei Zisu is killed, there are still others who can guard Hanzhou. When the time comes, Your Majesty will train another powerful noble family to take over Hanzhou. Then it will be much easier for us to take action against the King of Han. This will not only prevent the Southern Tang's evil plan from succeeding, but also eliminate a major threat for Your Majesty. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Prince Chun heard what he said and thought it was not wrong, but since it was the first time for his son to do such a thing, he was still a little worried, so he shook his head and refused. "I have no objection to you going to Hanzhou, but if you want to deal with Pei Zisu immediately, I still say the same thing. The time is not right. Didn't your mother run around to find you a job as a water supervisor? Now that the construction of the dams in the upper and lower reaches of the Huai River is about to be completed, how about you use this as an excuse to go to Hanzhou? Let's see the timing and then we can say something!"

"Father, do you mean that your son can mobilize all the forces in Hanzhou that belong to you?"

"It's too early. Even if you go now, you may not be able to convince the crowd. Find this person first. He will arrange for you!"

After saying that, the King of Han walked to the table, wrote down a person's name and handed it to Song Shiye. He was shocked when he took it. Even though he had many more years of memory, he never thought that this person would be his father's man!

Then he showed a hint of sarcasm in his smile. No wonder the King of Han was finally defeated in front of the city of Xijing. He originally thought that it was all the credit of King Yi, but he didn't expect that this person was involved.

"Don't worry, father. I understand!"

After agreeing on this matter, the father and son left the study.

Prince Chun was very pleased with the Crown Prince's actions today, so he went to the courtyard where Princess Chun was tonight. Seeing Prince Chun suddenly appear, the princess was a little shocked. She didn't seem to have much friendship left for Prince Chun. The most satisfying thing was that Concubine Xun must have a very unhappy face.

So thinking of this, she became more considerate when serving Prince Chun.

When the news spread that Prince Chun stayed in the princess' courtyard, people were naturally happy and sad at the same time.

In Concubine Xun's room, she, her son Song Shiyun and her daughter-in-law Bai were discussing something.

"What do you think is going on? Why does the prince suddenly treat the prince differently? Could it be that this kid did something behind our backs that we don't know about? Yun'er, you have been running the court for so many years, don't let this kid steal your credit."

When he heard this, Song Shiyun did not say anything, but the solemnity on his face was obvious. His mother and wife beside him looked at him worriedly. He was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"I guess he got some powerful news, so he wanted to use this incident to help father gain some face in front of His Majesty, so father did this. But, what powerful news could have bypassed us?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and for some reason I thought of the Pei family and the former Crown Prince's Consort, Miss Jiang Er.

"Could it be that although the Crown Prince's wife has left the mansion, she is on the same page with the Crown Prince, so after she got some news about the Pei family from the Jiang family, she immediately showed it off in front of my father. After all, in the eyes of your majesty, the most threatening among all the officials in the court are the King of Han and the Pei family."
