My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 74: Various Schemes

Chapter 74: Various Schemes

In the Second Prince's residence, the Prince was lying on a rocking chair while Qin Mu was kneeling on the ground.
"The eldest went over?"
"Yes!"
"Su Wen went too?"
"Yes!"
"There was no conflict?"
"I don't know, but Su Wen came out not long after the Crown Prince went in."
The Second Prince sat up and smiled. "Su Wen is someone who refuses to suffer losses. Even if he leaves, he will definitely disgust the eldest."
"Your Highness, when will we be going?"
The Second Prince pondered for a moment before asking, "Did Third Brother go today?"
Qin Mu replied, "I didn't see him. I only saw a servant from his household."
A crafty glint flashed across the Second Prince's eyes as he leisurely replied, "There's no rush, no rush. It's not that easy to obtain this person. Otherwise, Eldest Brother and Su Wen would have taken her away long ago."
"Furthermore, if this person were to really come over, what would Royal Father think? I have no choice but to consider it. I have already received news that the Martial Inspectorate was monitoring Honorable Xie under Royal Father's direct orders. Now that Honorable Xie has pushed out this Miss Yiyi, if we were to really bring her back, would Royal Father think that we are overly lustful?"
The Second Prince closed his eyes as he recalled Xie Yiyi's dance moves. His heart burned with the flames of desire.
"There's still Su Wen involved in this matter. I'm still very close to him at the moment. If there's really a rift between us because of this woman, it wouldn't be worth it."
"He's a big fish! If I really obtain Su Changqing's support, it's not impossible to topple the Crown Prince!"
The Second Prince weighed his options.
On the other side, in the Crown Prince's residence.
The Crown Prince returned after chatting with Xie Yiyi for quite some time.
After returning, he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure this woman doesn't have any cultivation?"
In the darkness, a man answered, "No, she just seems to have exuberant Qi and blood vitality."
The Crown Prince continued to ask, "Did you manage to find out about Honorable Xie's background?"
"No, we are still investigating. However, based on some of the methods used in the zither music, we can deduce that her cultivation is not weak!"
"Not weak? Are you her match?"
"We've never fought before, so I don't know. However, I'm unable to completely break free from the zither music. There's a high chance that I'll lose!"
The prince frowned, "You're no match for her either? That means in the martial world, she's at least at the strength of a Sect Leader. Moreover, if she's a lone person, what's the point of getting close to me? There must be an organization behind her!"
"Why is this Xie Dajia sending out a woman to get close to us? If I really accept this woman as a concubine and take the opportunity to control a faction, it doesn't sound too bad of an idea! However, since she wants to bide her time, I might as well act with her. No matter how you look at it, I, the Crown Prince, am the best choice!"
At this point, the Crown Prince suddenly got a little angry. "On the other hand, that Su Wen sure is annoying! I have to find a chance to teach him a lesson!"
In the Third Prince's residence, the Prince looked at the man in front of him as he angrily growled, "Why can't I go?"
It was winter, and the man was holding a feather fan in his hand. His dressing style was rather incongruous.
He shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you? There's something wrong with that woman. She's the bait someone else threw out!"
"I don't care. I like that woman! I'll go tomorrow morning!" The Third Prince was very direct.
The man with the feathered fan persuaded, "I think it's best to let your Big Brother, Second Brother, and Su Wen fight first!"
"I don't care. I must go tomorrow morning!"
"Are you trying to harm me?"
"I want to go! Su Wen and the rest are already there today. If I don't go now, it will be too late!"
The man with the feathered fan sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do to change the situation no matter how hard he tried.
Indeed, as Su Changqing had expected, the so-called scheme of the Xie Clan couldn't be concealed from the royal family descendants at all.
The only person whom they could hide it from, the Third Prince, also had someone around him that was able to spot it.
However, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one was willing to expose this scheme.
Back at Su Wen's own residence, he was cultivating when he suddenly heard Ning Shuang's voice from outside the door. "Young Master, the Old Master is here. He is waiting for you in the front hall and wants you to go over."
"Alright!"
Su Wen had a face full of smiles as he got up.
The father and son met at the front hall of the residence. Su Changqing lectured in all seriousness, "See? Learn from me in the future. Don't go to the inner residence for no reason. Wait in the front hall obediently. This is the rule of visiting."
"I'll try my best!" Su Wen smiled and said, "After all, I miss dad and mom very much. Sometimes, I really can't wait for them to come out."
Su Changqing curled his lips. It was a nice way of putting it, but when had his visits not been because he required something?
"Why are you looking for me, Father?" Su Wen went to the main topic.
Su Changqing said indifferently, "So you really wish to swallow the bait that Xie Dajia released?"
Su Wen nodded with a smile. "It's best if I can swallow it. If I really can't swallow it, then forget it. I can't possibly bring you trouble, right?"
"Hehe, my greatest trouble is actually you!" Su Changqing smirked. "According to what you said, that woman can be said to be peerlessly beautiful. It's normal for young people to like beauties, but your competition this time is mainly the descendants of the Royal Family. If you want to seize food from their mouths, it isn't so easy."
"Based on the current situation, you have two solutions. Firstly, think of a way to change Xie Dajia's mind. Although Miss Yiyi is the one looking for marriage, it's obvious that it's more important what the person behind this thinks."
"Secondly, we have to think of a way to make all these princes give up. This is rather difficult. If we want to do it, the best way is to borrow His Majesty's power and authority."
Su Wen frowned and said, "So, we need to change Xie Dajia's mind?"
Su Changqing smiled and said, "No, we'll use the second method! Because there just happens to be an opportunity right now. But before that, you can go and have a chat with that Xie Dajia first!"
"What should I do?"
"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say…"
The next morning, Su Wen went back to the Cloud Gazing Tower once again.
The moment they entered, they discovered that there were fewer people present compared to yesterday.
When compared to the bustling scene yesterday, the place today resembled more like a ghost town.
After seeing the big shots like Crown Prince and Su Wen appear one after another, the majority of those who knew their places decided to retreat.
However, Su Wen saw another person here today.
The Third Prince!
Compared to his Eldest and Second Brother, the Third Prince's influence in the imperial court was much weaker. However, the Third Prince had one advantage. In terms of martial cultivation, he was much more outstanding than his two older brothers.
He was only 24 years old this year, yet he was already at the pinnacle of Star Rank, the 9th Grade. He was only a hair's breadth away from advancing to the Earth Rank.
At such a young age, such a cultivation would allow someone to be labelled a genius.
When he saw Su Wen, the Third Prince coldly snorted and said in a muffled voice, "Su Wen, I arrived first today. I will be going to see Miss Yiyi in a while. Don't disturb me!"
Su Wen raised his eyebrows. This person seemed to be even more hostile towards him.
As he spoke, a maidservant came down from upstairs. She spoke to the Third Prince, "Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Yiyi is already waiting in the room. Please proceed, Your Highness."
The Third Prince turned around and glanced at Su Wen before walking over with a smug expression.
Su Wen scratched his chin in response. He did not have much contact with the Third Prince to know his antics well.
They had met several times in the past, but the other party had always treated him coldly, so Su Wen naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to stick his face to the other party's cold buttocks. Hence, they never had much interaction.
However, Su Wen couldn't be bothered with him today. He turned to the maid that delivered the news and said with a smile, "Go and report to Xie Dajia and say that Su Wen wishes to see her!"
The maidservant was stunned. Recently, these people were all looking for Miss Yiyi. Why did Su Wen suddenly turn his attention to Xie Dajia?
However, she still rushed up to report.
Xie Dajia was stunned when she heard the maid's report. Su Wen wanted to see her?
What was that little bastard trying to do?
