Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 167 The Crown Prince is Decided!

After a while.

Prime Minister Lin Fu returned quietly with a silver note worth 200,000 taels.

Looking at the silver handed over by his father-in-law, the third prince Song Qi's face was full of unwillingness.

"I really can't swallow this. If I have the chance, I will kill this guy with my own hands!"

The third prince secretly clenched his fists and spoke with some grief and anger.

Lin Fu on the side narrowed his eyes and waved his hand calmly.

"This kind of thing is not your concern. Song Yuan is destined not to die in your hands, but he won't live long!"

"Right now, ascending to the throne of Crown Prince is the most important thing. Think about it yourself. One day, when you become Crown Prince, you can contact General Zhenbei. With the troops under his command, wouldn't it be easy to deal with Song Yuan?"

Yup!

General Zhenbei held the military power and with a wave of his hand, 10 soldiers rushed to the battlefield.

Above that border, this person is the real emperor!

As long as he becomes the crown prince and bribes him, then dealing with Song Yuan will be a piece of cake, right?

For a moment, the Third Prince couldn't help but recall the news about General Zhenbei.

This person's name is Wei Zhongxian.

He is notoriously greedy and lustful!

When he was first appointed General Zhenbei, I heard that he almost fell off his horse when he took office.

A notorious coward!

As long as he could use this as an inducement and make the other party promise that as long as they could help him deal with Song Yuan, he would immediately try every possible means to transfer Wei Zhongxian back from the border.

I guess in order to save his life, this person also knows how to choose!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the third prince, and he gritted his teeth viciously.

"When the time comes, I will tear this brat into pieces and let him see how powerful I am!"

"Anyone who offends me will not suffer a good end. I will make him pay for this money!"

"Alright, the most urgent thing is to get the Crown Prince's Seal as soon as possible. This is the most important thing!"

"Father, I know!"

In response to Lin Fu's instructions, the Third Prince nodded with some seriousness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left with the banknote.

However, when the third prince walked towards where Song Yuan was, there was a clear gleam of sharpness in his pupils.

My dear brother, just wait for me.

It won't be long.

As long as I take the throne of the crown prince, you will be the first to die!

damn thing.

I will wash away my shame with your blood.

Let everyone understand that no one who offends me will have a good ending!

……

After a stick of incense.

The third prince came to Song Yuan’s mansion.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was noticed by Situ Jing.

Faced with this person's sudden visit, a flash of surprise appeared in Situ Jing's pupils.

The third brother came to see Song Yuan so late.

Could it be that the two of them really have a deep brotherly love?

However, thinking of what Song Yuan had done before, Situ Jing did not step forward.

He just ordered his servants to take the third prince to Song Yuan's residence.

After a while.

In the study room.

In a cold atmosphere, Song Yuan confronted his third brother directly.

"My dear brother, have you brought what I asked for?"

"Here are two hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Count them yourself to see if they are enough!" Song Qi took out the silver notes in his arms without saying a word.

Song Yuan was about to reach out to take it, but Song Qi grabbed the banknote.

"Did you forget something, kid?"

"Oh right, Third Brother, so we're paying for the goods. Just wait, I'll take out the Prince's Seal!"

Quan Quan said as he turned around and took a wooden box from the shelf behind him.

After turning around, he showed the contents to Song Qi.

This prince's seal is emerald green all over, and its jade quality is nothing special.

But this seemingly insignificant thing represents a very significant meaning!

Song Qi's breathing immediately became rapid, and without saying a word, he took the prince's seal out of the wooden box.

Even Song Qi had never seen the real Prince's Seal.

But in his opinion, this is probably what it should be like.

"I've taken the things, but there are some things I need to say first. This matter is over now. Big Brother shouldn't cause any more trouble, right?"

There is still about half a month before Song Yuan leaves. Song Qi is afraid that this kid will talk nonsense in front of his father and ruin his plan.

Song Yuanze smiled and waved his hand, speaking frankly.

"Third brother, don't worry. I can see the situation in the imperial city clearly. If I really did that, I'm afraid I would immediately provoke your revenge, right?"

"Now I am about to go to the frontier and become an idle prince. That is the life I need most. As for this imperial city, how we fight for it is up to you!"

"I just hope that Third Brother can leave me a way out so that I can live out my days in peace and contentment!"

Way out?

Fuck you!

In the past, Song Yuan always pretended to be crazy and stupid. It was not until the moment when he confronted Song Qi that the Third Prince finally understood how deep his brother's secrets were!

The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Yuan at this moment was full of fear.

"I'm afraid you didn't have any good intentions when you went to the frontier. This is no place for you to be some idle prince. If I were to say, your ambitions are probably far from that, right?"

"Third brother, you're wrong. You think the border is indeed dangerous, but in my opinion, this is the only way to express my attitude!"

Song Yuan explained to the third prince with a hint of grievance.

"Think about it, I'd rather go to a dangerous place than fight with you. Doesn't that just prove my innocence?"

"I believe that Third Brother is not a petty person. Just based on this detail, he will definitely let me go, right?"

"But as long as my father is alive, even if my third brother becomes the crown prince, he will not be able to do anything to me. As long as General Zhenbei is here, my third brother will not be able to do anything to me!"

"So I advise you not to have any evil thoughts!"

Ha ha.

Faced with Song Yuan's warning, the third prince sneered in his heart.

Doesn't this guy feel a bit idiotic when he says this?

As long as I become the crown prince, can't I win back the General Zhenbei?

By then, I will have money and power, and conquering the other side will be just a matter of waving my hand.

Thinking of the last sentence, the third prince felt murderous intent rising in his heart.

But Song Yuan didn't notice anything unusual at all, instead he waved at the other party.

"Alright, Third Brother, this deal is done. From now on, you and I owe each other nothing. See you again in the future!"

You bastard, you emptied my family's savings.

Do you still have the nerve to say this?

The third prince was extremely sad and angry when he heard this.

But the next second, in front of Song Yuan, he swung his right hand hard and smashed the prince's seal in his hand to the ground.

Wow…

Under such a huge force, even the best jade would shatter.

For a moment, fragments flew everywhere.

Then the cold face of the Third Prince appeared.

Once this kind of thing is destroyed, it will be over once and for all.

After doing all this, the third prince did not stay any longer. He glared at Song Yuan fiercely and then turned and left.

“Sometimes I really can’t bear to let go!”

Looking at Song Qi's receding back, Song Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

I have to say, if it weren't for the other party's continuous financial support, my family wouldn't be so wealthy now.

Song Yuan couldn't help but feel regretful about the sudden loss of such a generous boy.

But before he could come to his senses, a familiar voice interrupted Song Yuan's thoughts.

"What were you doing with the third brother just now?"

Situ Jing came over with a hint of curiosity, stretched her neck and asked Song Yuan.

Song Yuan waved his hand lightly.

"We were just talking about brotherly love and catching up on the past!"

"I believe you ghost!"

Situ Jing rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You two are a nest of snakes and rats. What good can come of you getting together?"

"Look, you misunderstood me again, didn't you?"

I misunderstood you, you idiot!

Faced with Song Yuan's sophistry, Situ Jing glared at him unhappily.

Neither you nor the third brother is a good person.

Stop pretending in front of me!

……

What Song Yuan never expected was.

It was only one night.

The entire dynasty was in an uproar over the word "Crown Prince".

At the morning court session, Song Youji announced the imperial edict under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Affirmed the status of the third prince.

Song Qi suddenly became the future crown prince.

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, the plan that he has been planning for a long time has finally been realized.

The whole person can't help but feel excited.

"It seems that thanks to your guidance, the Third Prince will be able to become the Crown Prince!"

As the princess, Situ Jing also realized it later.

Thinking about what happened between Song Yuan and the third prince last night, he suddenly understood.

"Don't you see where you are? Don't talk nonsense!" Seeing Situ Jing talking without restraint, Song Yuan scolded her angrily.

As the saying goes, walls have ears. If Song Youji heard this, the third prince might not be able to keep his position as the crown prince.

Thinking that this woman has nothing to do every day and will be a trouble sooner or later, I want to find some work for her.

Song Yuan scolded him angrily.

"If you're really alright, go keep an eye on the servants in the palace. They're about to go to the border, and it's time for you, the mistress, to step up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Jing's face changed immediately.

Situ Jing had no qualms about going to the battlefield, but she really couldn't handle the trivialities of life.

Thinking of what Song Yuan said, Situ Jing couldn't help but show a bit of sadness on her face.

"Song Yuan, do you think this is a good idea? We're going to the border soon, and I want to go home. After all, my mother and the others..."

Thinking of the impending departure, Situ Jing only wanted to reunite with her family.

After hearing this, Song Yuan nodded calmly.

"Then you can go back now. Aunt will take care of the affairs in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Although secretly, Song Yuan had already made up his mind that when he went to the border, he must bring everyone from the Zhenbei Palace with him!

But now, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, how could Song Yuan dare to say it out loud?

And in front of outsiders, you have to act according to the situation.

If you think about it carefully, it is a good thing for Situ Jing to return to the palace at this critical moment.

Seeing Song Yuan being so considerate, Situ Jing immediately showed a smile on her face. Without hesitation, she packed up her things and walked towards the Zhenbei Palace.

As soon as Situ Jing left, Ye Xuan came up immediately.

Thinking of the communication between Song Yuan and Situ Jing, the aunt glared at Song Yuan unhappily.

"Just try to fool him. When he sees through your trick, I'll see who'll suffer!"

"Look at what you said, I also put the overall situation first!"

Song Yuan glanced at Ye Xuan with a smile, then teased her.

"Besides, if something really happens, won't you still be the one to take care of it?"

"Don't forget, I'm your future husband, you can't just stand by and watch!"

"You..." As soon as these words came out, Ye Xuan blushed immediately, glared at Song Yuan fiercely, and left shyly.

This kid is really outrageous.

Even in the imperial city, they dare to tease me like this.

If I get the chance, I must let Jing'er give him a good beating.

Let’s see what he does then!
