Chapter 583 Ambition
Zhou Chang was even more surprised: "Who is he? Are you talking about Wu Feng?"
The skinny monkey blinked twice: "That's right, ever since the prince said he looked like a living dead, I have paid attention to him. He is neither male nor female, but he seems to be liked by Concubine Shun."
"Hiss..." Zhou Chang really couldn't say anything.
In my impression, Concubine Shun, the biological mother of Prince Rong, is such a kind old Bodhisattva. How could she have a good impression of this androgynous, half-dead, half-alive person?
But it was hard to comment. Zhou Chang still had many things to worry about. He couldn't take care of Wu Feng who was so elusive, so he gave up: "Don't worry about him, let's go back to the palace first."
The skinny monkey didn't say much. He lowered the curtain, jumped into the carriage, and went back to Prince Yi's mansion.
After returning to the palace, Zhou Chang wanted to find Zhong Yu first. He told Zhong Yu the news he had heard from Concubine Qin, and finally complained: "Sir, why do we always get the latest news?"
"Those roads were paved with silver. How much money has our palace invested in collecting information?" Zhong Yu smiled bitterly.
Zhou Chang was speechless again.
Money can make the devil work, and even more money can use the mill to push the devil.
The crux of everything is that Prince Yi is too poor.
Poverty is a terminal illness, and she has no ability to cure it.
After that, both of them frowned.
After a while, Zhou Chang broke the silence again, thinking of the deputy general named Sun Xiang who had a black mole behind his right ear: "Sir, is there still no news about the investigation on Sun Xiang?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Gao Yuan has been leaving early and coming back lately. If there was any progress, he would definitely inform his subordinates first." Zhong Yu was still thinking about King Xian's affairs.
Zhou Chang couldn't figure out who would assassinate King Xian, so he could only leave it to Zhong Yu: "Sir, what else have you thought of? Can you guess who assassinated King Xian?"
"Not right, not right..." Zhong Yu did not answer, but became even more frowning and stroked his beard.
Zhou Chang had already gotten used to it and was just waiting for his next words.
Zhong Yu was "uncomfortable" for a long time, but suddenly he started to play a riddle: "In this case, wouldn't those two want to... Then Prince Rong... The prince's side..."
"What are you talking about, sir?" Zhou Chang didn't understand, but when he mentioned Prince Rong, he quickly added, "By the way, when I left the palace just now, I saw Prince Rong from afar. It seems that he was not affected by the assassination of Prince Xian."
Zhong Yu plucked out a strand of his beard and finally spoke, but he asked in return: "Then, Your Majesty, who do you think was responsible for the assassination of Prince Xian?"
"Could it be that he set up the trap himself? To get out of the passive situation?" Zhou Chang finally told out his speculation along the way.
Zhong Yu shook his head slowly: "That's too obvious."
"If it's Prince Duan, wouldn't that be more obvious?" Zhou Chang thought of Prince Duan first.
Zhong Yu continued to shake his head.
Zhou Chang understood it and asked, "Sir, do you also suspect Brother Rong?"
Zhong Yu kept silent.
Zhou Chang asked back: "If it's Brother Rong, isn't it too obvious? And there is evidence pointing to it, isn't it a deliberate frame-up?"
"It could be a frame-up, or it could be a deliberate attempt to 'clear himself'." Zhong Yuye did not give a clear answer, but changed the subject, "But no matter who it is, I will not infer it based on motives, evidence or possibilities."
"Then where did you infer this from, sir?" Zhou Chang had no idea what to make.
Zhong Yu only gave three words: "From the results."
"From the results?" Zhou Chang didn't understand.
Zhong Yu's eyes were firm: "It doesn't matter who did it, or whether it was King Xian himself who set it up. As long as we see who benefits in the end, then it's whoever set it up."
"Who benefits?" Zhou Chang's heart skipped a beat, and the high-spirited face of Prince Rong just now appeared in his mind.
Zhong Yu did not look at Zhou Chang and continued, "It has been six or seven years since I followed the prince. The prince has come to where he is today step by step. Now it seems that Prince Duan is in trouble. Alas... It's a pity that the prince can no longer help him. If Prince Xian falls out of favor again or even has an accident... Seeing that Your Majesty is old, the most suitable candidate... Looking around, it really is only Prince Rong."
There was always a resistance deep in Zhou Chang's heart, and he was unwilling to think too much about Prince Rong.
She knew that was the consciousness of Prince Yi Fengming.
In Feng Ming's heart, Prince Rong has always been a warm and kind brother who takes good care of him.
"Prince Rong, Prince Duan, Prince Xian, Prince Yi, and Feng Shuo..." Zhou Chang muttered, forcing himself to divert his attention and comforting himself, "Why must it be Brother Rong? Not to mention Brother Xian is still here, there is also me, and even Feng Shuo. Don't you consider it, sir?"
Zhong Yuqing knew that Zhou Chang was joking, so she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there is no need to joke, but you are indeed right. Before the last step, who knows who will win?"
The two of them couldn't continue talking about anything else.
Zhong Yu stood up and said goodbye.
Zhou Chang thought about it over and over but to no avail. He then remembered the plates and bowls he had packed from the palace, as well as many small items he had purchased from the street, and ordered Skinny Monkey to move all of them to the study.
Zhou Chang used his skills of paying attention, doing things, and thinking about things to "bring" the things back to the other dimension.
"Congratulations, the transaction was successful, and the total commission was two thousand two hundred taels." The viewpoint system reported the number and displayed it.
[Level: Upper Nine-Three]
【Commission: -3,822,900 taels】
【Order: 102】
Zhou Chang glanced at the information in front of her and swept it away with a wave of her sleeves. Even she herself was disgusted: "It's too little. You are exploiting me."
The viewpoint system's voice was still toneless: "Remind you that 'interest' exists every day."
"Go away." Zhou Chang turned around and sat on the rattan chair in the inner room, and had to reflect again.
Unconsciously, she seemed to be putting more and more time and energy into her role as Prince Yi, and was becoming less and less interested in live streaming to sell goods.
Want to tell you how comfortable life is as a prince?
It's better than any previous identity.
But what about Yuan Qi?
Zhou Chang still has the soul of painting in his heart.
No matter how good Prince Yi is, he is still a poor prince. In fact, due to his status, he cannot do many things.
But if you can go one step further, it will be a whole new world.
Unfortunately, Prince Yi's background and foundation are too poor, otherwise he wouldn't have to make such calculations now.
So how does the throne compare to Yuan Qi’s identity?
Zhou Chang asked himself, that was the comparison between the throne and the richest man in the world.
The answer seems to be obvious...
"System, I remember that in your nine-class ranking list, the emperor is ranked first?" Zhou Chang changed his mind and asked again.
The viewpoint system did not answer but displayed the "Nine-level viewpoint rankings" in the air.
"I don't want to look at this." Zhou Chang flicked his sleeves and swept the display away. She was really too lazy to study it. "I just want to ask why?"
"Why are you asking yourself?" The voice of the viewpoint system finally sounded in my mind.
"...???"
