Chapter 675 Someone coming from the palace
The fourth prince frowned, "You want to plot against him? Do you think he is so smart that you can plot against him?"
"Your Highness, I have thought of a way. As long as..." Luo Shuhuan leaned over to the Fourth Prince's ear and whispered a few words, but the Fourth Prince's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
"Such a simple method, can he be fooled?"
"As long as the method is useful, it doesn't need to be sophisticated." Luo Shu smiled happily with a determined look on his face. It didn't matter whether Jiang Youzhen would be fooled or not, but as long as the emperor believed it, it would be fine.
The fourth prince suddenly glanced at Luo Shuhuan from head to toe, "You seem to have some prejudice against Jiang Youzhen?"
Luo Shuhuan's face froze. "Isn't it because you think he is a promising talent that I am trying to recruit him under your command?"
"He is a top scholar, and I am just a girl. How could I have any prejudice against him?"
Seeing Luo Shuhuan's unnatural expression, the Fourth Prince raised his eyebrows, "Really? I noticed that your face was not good every time you mentioned him, and I thought you had a grudge against him."
"I didn't celebrate it." Luo Shuhuan touched his temples, "I just felt that the Fourth Prince treated him with great courtesy, but he always evaded me, and I was just angry!"
"We can't act rashly on this matter. Jiang Youzhen is very smart. He certainly knows that someone will try to take advantage of us. I'm sure we're not the only ones who have this idea. We should not act rashly."
Luo Shuhuan looked at the Fourth Prince's thoughtful expression, with more admiration in his eyes. Compared with the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince was more patient and knew how to take things step by step.
As for the second prince, she had only met him once. Although he had a stunning appearance, he was aloof and arrogant. He was never polite to women and did not take her seriously at all.
"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity. If you don't take action, you might be won over by other princes." Luo Shuhuan said anxiously when he saw that the Fourth Prince was still hesitating.
"I have my own opinion on this matter." The Fourth Prince waved his hand. He had previously wanted to use marriage to pull Jiang Youzhen into his camp, and Jiang Youzhen already had a prejudice against him because of this.
He could take action on the graphite mine, but harming Jiang Youzhen, threatening him, and forcing him to join his camp would probably backfire.
Seeing that he could not persuade the Fourth Prince, Luo Shuhuan had to give up because the Fourth Prince did not like others questioning his decisions.
But there was another thing she had to mention to the Fourth Prince.
"I haven't yet congratulated Your Highness on taking a concubine!" Luo Shuhuan looked a little aggrieved.
Half a month ago, the emperor appointed the second daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief Chen Zhixin as the fourth prince's concubine.
She was very anxious, as she had already turned eighteen this year. She had originally thought that her marriage to the Fourth Prince as a concubine was a foregone conclusion, and not only were the masters of the family friendly to her, but even her family members were fawning over her.
All the good things were sent to her room. How could she have been treated like this before? But ever since the fourth girl was appointed as the concubine of the prince, rumors began to spread in the mansion.
It is said that the Fourth Prince could not possibly marry her because the Emperor would not agree. After all, she was not promised to be a concubine.
Just a few days ago, the atmosphere in the mansion changed. No bird's nest was left for her in the kitchen yesterday. She even heard the servants laughing at her, saying that she was dreaming. If she kept it until she was 18, she would be an old maid, and the Fourth Prince had no intention of marrying her.
The Fourth Prince glanced at the sad Luo Shuhuan with a flickering look in his eyes.
He stepped forward and grasped Luo Shuhuan's hand, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you before."
Luo Shuhuan was delighted, but the Fourth Prince's next words made her feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.
"Once this case is settled, my father should be in a good mood. I will go and ask him to take you as his concubine."
Wait again, how long does she have to wait? At this moment, the Fourth Prince, who was full of tenderness and affection, suddenly became very hypocritical in Luo Shuhuan's eyes.
"I can wait, but I'm afraid my family can't wait any longer." She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I heard from my mother that she is looking for someone for me recently."
"I will go and tell my aunt, you can relax and wait for me for a while."
The emperor had just planned to give him a concubine, and he has been very suspicious of him recently. If I bring this up rashly, he will definitely be displeased.
Or he would wait until the traitors were found and the dust settled before asking his father for mercy. He always kept his promises, and since he had promised Luo Shuhuan, he would not break his promise.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Shuhuan said with a blushing face.
"Oh, right! Your Highness, such a big thing happened in the Jin'an Marquis's Mansion. Will it affect you?"
It was no secret that Li Dongsheng and the Fourth Prince had a very good personal relationship. Luo Shuhuan had seen them together before, so he knew about it.
Speaking of this, the Fourth Prince sighed.
"Alas! Li Yan is really confused! But it is not impossible to remedy the situation. It depends on whether the old marquis is willing to do so."
The fourth prince shook his head and said goodbye without saying anything more.
After bidding farewell to the Fourth Prince, Luo Shuhuan's eyes were filled with coldness. The Fourth Prince kept saying that he wanted to marry her, and the position of concubine was fine!
After all, the position of the queen is still vacant, and there will be opportunities in the future, but the Fourth Prince is unwilling to plead with the Emperor for her.
The Luo family was originally the lineage of the Fourth Prince, so it was no problem for him to marry the daughter of the Luo family. She believed that as long as the Fourth Prince asked the Emperor, the Emperor would certainly agree. But the Fourth Prince was afraid that the Emperor would be unhappy, so he kept delaying the matter, which showed that he did not have much sincerity towards her.
In this case, she still needs to make plans early.
Luo Shuhuan thought of Tong Huaian. If she could marry Tong Huaian as his principal wife, although it would not be comparable to the royal jade book, she would still be worthy of him.
Then she thought of Li Dongsheng who saved her yesterday. She originally thought that the Marquis of Jin'an was a noble family in the capital. If she married Li Dongsheng, it wouldn't be bad, but who would have thought that such a big thing would happen in the Marquis of Jin'an.
She thought for a long time, and then she came up with an idea after thinking about what the Fourth Prince had just said. You can't put all your eggs in one basket, so you still have to make more plans.
It was already daybreak, but Jiang Youzhen did not go to the Imperial Academy for duty today. Because the emperor had previously allowed her to handle cases without going to the Imperial Academy, so she planned to take a good rest for two days before going.
Besides, someone wants to kill her now, and she cherishes her life very much.
"Young Master! The concierge has received several more letters, but they are all asking to see the master and his wife." Qing Lang hurried into the study and reported to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen took it and took a look. They were all related to those families, so he wanted to find out some information.
Rather than visiting Jiang Fugui and Shen, he actually just wanted to see her.
"My intention is not to drink! Don't pay attention to it." Jiang Youzhen put the visiting card back on the table without any care.
"Young Master! Young Master!" Qingyan's voice suddenly sounded from outside the study.
"Why are you making so much noise in the house? How disrespectful!" Qing Lang frowned and went out to stop them.
Qingyan ran out of breath, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."
Jiang Youzhen thought for a moment, "Who's coming?"
"He is a eunuch in charge."
It looks like something big is going to happen! Jiang Youzhen immediately stood up and strode towards the front yard.
