Chapter 233 Trap
That night, Jun Mo came back and told Yu Jiuer a good news: "Third brother finally fell into the trap. Before long, Concubine Xiang will be too busy to take care of herself and won't bother you anymore!"
"Great! Ever since I teased the Third Prince yesterday, I've been worried that Xiang Fei would strike back, and I'm trying to think of a way to deal with her!" Yu Jiuer happily threw herself into Jun Mo's arms.
"Thank you, sir, for contributing to the rise of Yinshan County!"
"You have to thank me very much. I spent a lot of effort to avoid the eyes and ears of Concubine Xiang and set a trap for my third brother!"
Jun Mo hugged his sweetheart, who was soft and warm, and felt a surge of heat in his heart. "I have been patient for many days. You must make it up to me tonight!"
Yu Jiuer slapped his big hand away, raised her head and asked the question she was most concerned about:
"The Xiang Fei has countless Miao secret guards under her command. She has also arranged many staff members around the Third Prince. How did the Prince deceive the world and trick him into falling into the fire pit?"
"I have used some tricks to get his advisers and secret guards to do other things. Then it will be easy to deal with him. Father and Concubine Xiang are both extremely smart people. It is a miracle that they gave birth to someone as stupid as my third brother! Now it depends on how stupid he is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Mo had already skillfully untied her belt and hugged the little girl tightly in his arms.
Something suddenly flashed through Yu Jiuer's mind. She quickly grabbed Jun Mo's collar with both hands, stood on tiptoe and leaned forward to ask, "What did the prince just say?"
"My lady, are you so anxious?" Jun Mo raised his lips, looking at the red lips so close, his breath was hot, he lowered his head and was about to kiss her, "I don't want to say anything anymore!"
"You said that your father and Xiang Fei are extremely smart, but the Third Prince is a fool, right?" Yu Jiuer quickly covered Jun Mo's lips that were about to fall.
Jun Mo blinked and pecked her palm as a consolation.
Yu Jiuer was so burned that she pulled her hand back and asked with a strange look on her face: "Prince, do you think it is possible that the Third Prince was not born by the Emperor?"
Jun Mo scratched her tall and delicate nose and gently rebuked her, "Don't say such things in the future! Don't let your imagination run wild and think that Concubine Xiang would do the same just because your aunt had an affair with someone else and was controlled by me. You will get into trouble if you say something without any basis!"
"I'll just talk to you about it."
Yu Jiuer certainly knew the seriousness of the matter, so she had to think it through carefully.
Among the five princes, the Third Prince was indeed the most stupid.
If this is really the emperor's child, then the genetic mutation is too outrageous, right?
She didn't pay much attention to this before, but now that she thinks about it, the Third Prince's appearance is indeed very different from the Emperor's.
The other four princes looked more or less similar and had inherited certain facial features from the emperor, but the third prince did not have any trace of the emperor.
This important discovery made Yu Jiuer excited. Her face flushed as she said to Jun Mo, "Your Highness, I think I may have found the weakness of Concubine Xiang..."
Yu Jiuer's breath was choked, and she suddenly realized that the reason she felt hot all over was not because of this discovery, but because she had been pressed on the soft couch, and her whole body was soft and hot.
Her body's reaction made her eyes watery, and the sound she made was out of tune: "Wait, wait a minute, I have something to say!"
"Pay attention, we can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say!" Jun Mo couldn't wait any longer.
"Hmm..." Yu Jiuer bit her lip and squeezed out a few words while panting. "I, I have a bold guess. The third prince may not be a dragon seed. He...ah!"
Yu Jiuer couldn't speak anymore...
After finally coming to an end, Yu Jiuer reiterated her previous question.
Jun Mo carried Yu Jiuer back to the bed, propped his arms on her side, and said calmly: "These are all your speculations, not enough evidence! Don't be impatient when dealing with Concubine Xiang! Be patient and wait for the Third Brother to set himself on fire!"
Yu Jiuer pushed Jun Mo away and said, "Don't do anything to me again! Xiang Fei is not an easy person to deal with. Wouldn't it be better to suppress her by adding a fatal weakness? Check in this direction!"
She finally found Xiang Fei's weak spot, and she didn't want to give up.
Yu Jiuer's force was quite strong, and Jun Mo was not careful and almost fell off the bed. He looked like an abandoned puppy, with an aggrieved expression: "My wife, is this your reason for refusing to be your husband?"
"Your Majesty, I am talking about serious matters. Can you please be serious?"
Jun Mo's mouth twitched, and he said jokingly, "It's rare for my wife to be so serious, which makes me look reckless! But I want to do something frivolous now, what should I do?"
"Ah! Hooligan! Ugh..."
Their lips blended together, the room was filled with beauty, and she had no choice but to fall in love with them!
Xiang Fei, I hope you won’t let me down and cheat on me like the eldest princess did!
But Yu Jiuer waited for several days but still could not find any evidence of Xiang Fei's infidelity.
That woman won't leave the palace easily.
Yu Jiuer sent people to guard the palace gate not far from her palace for three days, but did not find anything unusual.
According to palace rules, a concubine can only apply to leave the palace once a year to visit the prince's residence.
Yu Jiuer was certain that Xiang Fei usually went out of the palace to do evil things, and she must have sneaked out in disguise.
She planned to send someone to watch her day and night, since the shadow guard Jun Mo placed by her side was idle anyway.
She has a persistent heart, and there is still a long way to go, and her flaws will be found sooner or later.
That night, before going to bed, Yu Jiuer suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way, what trap did the prince set for the third prince? Can it really hit the Fragrant Concubine?"
"I will follow my father's bottom line, it should work!"
"The emperor's bottom line?"
"Father hates the princes to gamble. Since they were young, the concubines in the palace have repeatedly warned the princes not to gamble!"
Yu Jiuer said with a sly smile, "But the Third Prince just likes gambling, so the Prince gave him a chance to gamble, right?"
"That's right! I planned for my third brother to accidentally discover a brothel, and there happened to be an underground gambling house in that brothel. With my third brother's lustful and gambling nature, he naturally rushed to buy the brothel by force.
In the past, he would occasionally visit a brothel, and Concubine Xiang would turn a blind eye. This time, he bought a brothel as a cover, so that he could gamble to his heart's content."
Yu Jiuer was a little confused: "Does the prince want the emperor to go to the casino and catch the thief on the spot? But will the emperor come out in the middle of the night and visit an underground gambling house?"
Jun Mo shook his head and chuckled: "Doesn't leading Father to the gambling house mean admitting that I set up a trap for my third brother? Do you think I would be so stupid?"
"Of course the prince is not stupid! That's why I have doubts!"
Jun Mo explained slowly: "Every year on the birthday of each prince, my father would give each of us a ring-shaped jade pendant to remind us to be friendly and respectful to each other, and to love each other. Even if we have to compete, we must use legitimate means and compete with virtue.
So the ring-shaped jade pendant represents the friendship between the five of us brothers. If the emperor finds out that any of the princes has treated it like a worn-out shoe and even used the jade pendant to gamble, he will surely be furious and give him a severe punishment!"
"Has the Third Prince taken the bait? Has he already used the jade pendant to gamble?" Yu Jiuer was a little anxious. She hoped that he would be brought down as soon as possible so that Concubine Xiang would suffer a setback.
Jun Mo shook his head and said, "I think he won't take the bait so quickly. After all, the Third Brother has the entire Miao Territory as his backing, and his financial resources cannot be underestimated.
However, Concubine Xiang should have noticed that the Third Prince often makes excuses not to return home, and is anxiously looking for the reason. Otherwise, do you think your Linglong Pavilion and wine shop can do business so peacefully these days?"
"No wonder? Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me clean up those evildoers!"
"You and I are inseparable. Do we still need to thank each other?" Jun Mo's eyes were deep and he pulled the cute little braid on her head.
She's already a mother, but she still braids her hair into such cute and delicate little braids. Is she trying to seduce him?
Yu Jiuer held her pigtail with one hand and supported her cheek with the other, smiling slyly, "Then let them play hide-and-seek for a while longer! With the Third Prince's temper, he will take the bait sooner or later. Let's just sit and wait for them to get burned."
Jun Mo frowned slightly when he heard this: "I'm afraid that the Fragrant Concubine will find out before I take the bait and kill me in advance! I will take some time out in the next few days to "add fuel to the flames" for my Third Brother and make him lose faster!"
Yu Jiuer immediately became interested: "How to add fuel to the fire? Does the prince also gamble?"
She doesn’t have the chance to go to a modern casino, so shouldn’t she visit an ancient gambling house to make up for her regret?
Jun Mo said leisurely, "Can't I learn it now? With my intelligence, will I lose?"
"How can I learn now? I'd better not lose all my money!" Yu Jiuer began to find excuses for her participation in the battle.
"Besides, the prince is a gentleman who is dedicated to great things. How could he go to a casino to gamble? If his subordinates find out, it will not only be a loss of face, but also make the soldiers lose their morale. How bad is that!"
Jun Mo saw through her thoughts at a glance: "You said so much because you want to go to the gambling house?"
"Can't I go? I'm very lucky in gambling!"
"No! No woman has ever visited brothels and gambling houses!" Jun Mo refused without even thinking.
Yu Jiuer smiled strangely and said, "I can't go, but Yu Wushuang can go, right?"
