Chapter 495: They are all lying to him, invisible harm
The third prince looked at the queen in a daze.
Could it be that Qin Yumo is with him because of his identity as the third prince?
No, it's not like that.
The third prince felt repulsed.
The Queen Mother and Prime Minister Qin may collude with each other, but Qin Yumo definitely won’t!
"On the night of the Qiqiao Festival, just take down the lantern and give it to Rong Qingqing. Not only will everything change, but you will also be able to marry a woman you like as a concubine. This will only benefit you, not harm you!"
The queen really didn't understand what was wrong with the third prince!
In such a short period of time, it's like he has become a different person.
"Did you hear what your mother said?" the queen asked loudly again.
"I heard you. Your son obeys your command." The third prince retreated like a walking corpse.
The queen looked at the third prince's back and took a deep breath.
"Send someone to follow the Third Prince. If anyone dares to say anything that may affect the Third Prince, no matter who it is, they will be put to death!"
"Yes!"
The Queen also communicated the news privately with Prime Minister Qin.
It is not convenient for her to take action in the palace. Prime Minister Qin will make arrangements on the night of the Qiqiao Festival and will never give the Rong family a chance to take action.
The third prince will definitely get the lantern successfully!
In the imperial study, the emperor rarely did not read memorials. In a good mood, he picked up one of the most popular storybooks among the people of Daxia.
When he saw some places, he couldn't even help but laugh.
"Why didn't I know before that there are such things in the world that can relieve boredom? Love is more important than money, status and power. The man in the storybook is a descendant of an aristocratic family, and the only son of a legitimate wife. Yet, for the sake of a peasant girl whom he had only seen three times, he could disobey his family, sever ties with his family, and ruin his own future. He secretly worshipped heaven and earth in the peasant girl's shabby home, and then rolled up his trousers every day to work in the fields."
"There is another one. A daughter of an aristocratic family who lived a life of luxury actually eloped for a wandering man. From then on, the two of them slept in the open air and had no place to live. It was hard to survive in such a life. How could there be any happiness?"
"Your Majesty, this was originally fabricated by those people in the folk who have a little knowledge of writing. There is no logic at all and it is just nonsense." Chao Sihai echoed in a low voice.
"The Qiqiao Festival is just a few days away."
"Even more so the day after tomorrow."
"I want to see this excitement with my own eyes."
How could one miss the excitement of the competition between the Rongguo Mansion and the Qin Xiang Mansion?
He had originally agreed to the Third Prince's cancellation of the engagement. Anyway, the Third Prince was not capable of such a big responsibility. Since the Third Prince liked the young lady of Prime Minister Qin's mansion and dared to stand in front of him and admit it bravely, it was considered that he had backbone for once, and he did not hide behind his mother every day.
He intended to help the third prince once.
Unexpectedly, the Queen was secretly colluding with Prime Minister Qin again.
It seems that the queen, after enduring for so many years, has finally lost her patience and is determined to seize the position of crown prince.
This time out of the palace, in addition to observing the open and secret struggles between the Rongguo Mansion and the Qin Xiang Mansion, he also wanted to see the choice of the Third Prince.
"Your Majesty, are you going to leave the palace?" Chao Sihai finally understood.
"Yes, make arrangements and don't let any news leak out."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"This is an imperial edict." After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the dragon table, picked up a memorial, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he ordered: "Take the two books I just read and burn them."
"Yes." Chao Sihai immediately retreated.
……
Qin Xiangfu.
The third prince came to see Qin Yumo again.
Coincidentally, Prime Minister Qin was also in Qin Yumo's yard.
Upon hearing the report, Prime Minister Qin immediately stood up and said, "When you see the Third Prince, persuade him well and ask him not to make any mistakes during the Qiqiao Festival. Otherwise, all the humiliation we have endured in the past few days will be in vain."
"Yes, grandpa, your granddaughter understands." Qin Yumo responded immediately.
As soon as Prime Minister Qin left, the Third Prince walked in.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Qin Yumo immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be polite. How are you? Are you okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am no longer in any serious condition. Your Highness, please take a seat."
"Yumo." The Third Prince did not sit down, but took Yumo's hand and looked at her affectionately, "Yumo, I never knew what it felt like to like someone before, but now I know. I wish I could be with you every day. Even if we are apart for just a little while, I will miss you so much."
Qin Yumo's heart also skipped a beat.
After all, the Third Prince was the man who had occupied her heart for so many years.
How could I not be moved when I suddenly heard such a passionate confession to her?
"I feel the Third Prince's feelings for me. Being loved by the Third Prince is the greatest gift from God to me!" Qin Yumo responded with a touched look on her face.
"Yumo, let me ask you a question. When you knelt outside the Prince's Mansion and said that you only wanted to be my concubine, was it because you loved me, or because you didn't want the Duke of Rong to cancel the engagement?"
"I... of course I love the Third Prince." Qin Yumo certainly couldn't tell the truth.
Even a fool would know what answer the Third Prince wanted to hear at this moment.
"Really?" The third prince confirmed again.
"Really, Third Prince, the heavens can witness my feelings for you." Qin Yumo responded solemnly.
The third prince couldn't help but hold Qin Yumo in his arms.
"I knew it was like this. I don't want to break off the engagement with the Duke of Rong's Mansion, and I don't care about your reputation. These are the intentions of your grandfather and my mother."
"Your Highness, you also know that we have few descendants in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although my grandfather is angry about what I did, he has no choice but to accept it. Could it be that he really wants to watch me, his granddaughter, die? What's more, he has set his eyes on the Third Prince a long time ago. That's why he came up with such an idea this time. He also wants to help Your Highness get the greatest benefit." Qin Yumo hurriedly spoke well of her grandfather.
"I understand, I understand. My mother did this for me. But I don't want this result at all. My mother has arranged everything for me since I was a child. I have never made a decision for myself. My mother said that as long as I listen to her, I will be loved by my father. But my father doesn't love me at all. I don't know if I can get the position of crown prince in the end. After I met you, you made me realize that people must fight for what they really want."
Qin Yumo panicked, "Third Prince, on the night of the Qiqiao Festival, aren't you going to take down the lantern for Rong Qingqing?"
"Do you want me to do that?"
"If that is my true thought, I don't want the Third Prince to take the lantern. However, even if it is for my sake, the Third Prince must take the lantern down and give it to Miss Rong Qingqing."
"Why?"
