Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 120

   Chapter 120 Cooperation

  The prince hated so much in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Faced with Emperor Tai'an's anger, he honestly admitted his mistake: "My son is wrong, and it won't be like this in the future."

  The Prince's willingness to admit his mistake made Emperor Tai'an less angry.

   This is his son who taught writing with hands on his knees. His disappointment is due to high hopes.

  Tai'an Emperor's tone was less cold and more sincere: "You are the prince, you can't act too freely, otherwise how will you convince your subjects in the future?"

   "My son knows."

   Emperor Tai'an glanced at the prince's left arm and sighed in his heart: "You take good care of it, it will take time to recover, don't mess up your mind."

  The prince answered honestly, and when Emperor Tai'an left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

   He knew that as long as he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, his father would not care about it.

   This incident taught him a lesson, and he must act more comprehensively in the future, so as not to leave troubles in the future.

   understood the meaning of Emperor Tai'an. Under the arrangement of Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlinwei, there was a story about the assassination of the prince: the former imperial master was not a thief, so he arranged for someone to do it.

The saying    spread quickly, and even Mingxin Renren in the East Palace heard of it.

  Mingxin Zhenren, who is good at operations research, showed no expression on his face, but he rarely felt a little dazed in his heart: What did he arrange for people to do? Why doesn't he know?

   There is something wrong with this.

   As Emperor Pingle's most reliant person, Mingxin Zhenren knows how many people the capital has arranged, which officials they have drawn, and what plans they have.

   This does not include the assassination of the prince.

   It's not that they don't want to, but they haven't found the right opportunity yet.

   Emperor Tai'an only had two sons, so one can imagine that he cared about the safety of the prince. It was a miracle that the young entertainer could hurt the prince.

   is not their people, but the matter is pushed on them, which is interesting.

   Who would throw the blame on others? Nature is the opposite.

  The opposite person——Mingxin Zhenren stroked his beard.

   Isn't the person they oppose the current emperor?

  The correspondence between him and Qin Yunchuan was stolen, followed by Qin Yunchuan's accident, but he was officially an official. It can be seen that Emperor Tai'an did not want people to know that Emperor Pingle's people were still active for the sake of stability.

   But now Emperor Tai'an has taken the initiative to throw the blame over, which shows that he wants to cover up more unfavorable things.

   What is more unfavorable to Tai'an Emperor is beneficial to them.

  What is Emperor Tai'an trying to cover up?

  The corner of Mingxin's mouth twitched, and he inhaled in pain. Looking back, he found a beard between his two fingers.

   He rushed to the mirror, looking at his sparse beard and felt distressed.

  I'm going bald!

  Ming Xin was puzzled, but Qi Shuo just knew the answer.

   Want to cover up for the prince? Truly a father.

   He logically asked Lin Hao to meet.

  A small copper pot was rolled out between the two of them, with thin slices of mutton and fresh cabbage tumbling in it.

"The specialty of this restaurant is that the mutton is of good quality, sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wings, and you can eat it as soon as you put it in the pot." Qi Shuo put the cooked meat slices into the porcelain plate in front of Lin Hao with public chopsticks, gossiping homely. Talking about the business in his tone, "It's rumored outside, Miss Lin, did you hear it?"

   "Is the prince talking about Xiaofeng's origin?" Lin Hao thought of those rumors, and sneered at the corners of his mouth, "It would be a fig leaf."

   Qi Shuo couldn't help laughing.

   "What is the prince laughing at?"

   "Nothing, just wanted to go together."

   "Is there any plan for the prince?" Lin Hao leaned forward slightly, and inadvertently showed some anticipation in his eyes.

  Prince Jing used the hand of Jin Linwei to gently and skillfully put the truth of the prince's assassination before the emperor, and his work was still very reliable.

   The expectation in the girl's eyes made Qi Shuo happy, but she didn't reveal it at all: "Since it's a fig leaf pulled up, just tear it off. The people of the capital are famous for being tolerant of all kinds of rumors."

  Lin Hao understood what Qi Shuo meant, this was to use the momentum of public opinion to spread the truth.

   "The prince should be more careful when doing this, so that no one gets caught."

   "Thank you Miss Lin Er for reminding me, I will be careful."

  Lin Hao felt that he should also contribute, otherwise, why would Prince Jing ask her to discuss it?

   There is no manpower, but there is some silver.

   "The prince arranges people to do things, does it cost a lot?"

   Qi Shuo went to the chopsticks holding the lamb slices.

   Miss Lin is worried that he has no money?

   "It's a bit of an expense." For a while, Lin Haoxin couldn't be confused, and Qi Shuo said vaguely.

  Lin Hao quickly calculated the expenses for sheltering the beggars, and made a decision: "I can't help much, so I will bear part of the expenses, which is considered to be a cooperation with the prince."

   "Cooperation?" Qi Shuo felt that this word was very pleasant.

  Lin Hao has a frank attitude: "Neither I nor the prince likes the prince. The prince is willing to share the plan with me. I can't just be an audience."

   She didn't know the reason why Prince Jing was determined to meet the prince, but since the goals were the same and they were trustworthy, she naturally had to show some sincerity.

   In many things, Prince Jing is more convenient than her, and this cooperation is not a loss.

   "Then let's cooperate." Qi Shuo smiled and asked seriously, "I don't know how much Miss Lin is going to pay?"

   "Two hundred taels of silver." Lin Hao reluctantly said.

   Although there are long-term plans for those beggars, it will be a few years before they grow up to pay back the money. Now the house that houses the beggars is a huge gold-sucking beast to her.

  Miss Lin, who has never been troubled by Abuwu since she was a child, finally realized the importance of money.

   Qi Shuo gave Lin Hao a deep look.

  I don't know if it's an illusion or not, Miss Lin's hair even exudes reluctance.

In this case--

   "That's probably not enough."

   "Not enough?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable, "Spreading gossip...does it cost so much?"

   She really has no experience in this area.

   Qi Shuo nodded sternly: "It's very expensive."

  Lin Hao hesitated for a while, and for the first time he had no confidence in money: "Then...how much does it cost?"

   "Does Miss Lin need open source?" Qi Shuo suddenly changed the subject.

  Lin Hao digested the new topic a little, and became interested: "How to open source?"

   "I'm going to open a small restaurant with affordable prices. Miss Lin Er can invest some money and share the profits together."

   "Since the price is affordable, it won't make much profit, right?" Lin Hao is not shy, and since he is interested, he will analyze it immediately.

   Qi Shuo was silent.

   I can't see that Miss Lin Er has the potential to be a profiteer.

   "It's better than small profits but quick turnover. More importantly, this kind of restaurant has a lot of contacts, so it's easy to get some news."

  Lin Hao was persuaded: "How much do you need to cast?"

   "One hundred taels is enough."

  Lin Hao secretly sighed in relief: "Okay, I voted."

   This is less than spreading gossip.

  Thinking of this, Lin Hao pulled the topic back: "How much will it cost to arrange that event?"

   Qi Shuo smiled: "Just kidding. I can't let you go out alone, I'll just fill in the gaps."

  Lin Hao did not slap his face as a fat man, and happily reached a cooperation.

  After dinner, Lin Hao decided to visit the house where the beggar was housed, while Qi Shuo returned to the palace.
