Chapter 397 Do you want to accept it?
After Qiao Xiaolian left, Song Shaoyang asked his personal servant to guard the door.
He also punished the servant who was guarding the gate and was sent away.
Only then did he return to the study.
The fifth prince looked at Song Shaoyang and joked, "Cousin, your wives and concubines are not easy to deal with."
"Your days are so colorful!"
Song Shaoyang smiled and said, "I use it to kill time when I'm bored."
The fifth prince stopped talking about this.
He played with the folding fan in his hand and said meaningfully, "I don't know how much your wife heard just now."
Song Shaoyang frowned, "She did pass this time."
"I'll keep an eye on her in the future."
He really didn't expect that his wife would be so bold as to eavesdrop at the study door.
What they said is very important, so we should be careful in the future.
The fifth prince nodded, "It's better to be careful."
He added: "After all, the Jiao family's attitude towards me is very ambiguous now."
"As long as they don't clearly stand on our side, we should still be on guard."
Song Shaoyang nodded, "I understand."
He never told his wife what happened in the court, or what happened between him and the fifth prince.
The fifth prince said what he had been thinking about, "What do you think? Should we ask Hu Xueyi to talk to Qiao Ye as well?"
"Tell Qiao Ye that the person who really wants to plot against him and his wife is the owner of the theater."
"Given Qiao Ye's personality, he won't just let it go like this."
"If she's going to cause trouble for the theater, it's a good opportunity to test her. We can take the opportunity to start investigating."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is behind this? It's a human or a ghost. We have to find them out and see for ourselves."
Now is a good time to muddy the waters.
Song Shaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "This is a good idea."
"I'll have someone pass the message to Hu Xueyi."
"Oh, by the way, I'll let Hu Xueyi tell her that you were originally the backstage of the theater."
"But we really didn't know anything about Min Xiu's incident. It was all caused by the theater owner."
"If she wants to vent her anger, she can do so."
"We won't intervene or take our anger out on her."
We can’t let Qiao Ye misunderstand that they are the ones behind this.
The fifth prince agreed, "Yes, I told her everything."
"They are both smart people, so I'm sure they won't misunderstand."
Now, even if we cannot make friends with Qiao Ye and his wife, it is best not to become their opposition.
Song Shaoyang said: "Well, we won't take the blame for this."
After the fifth prince left, Song Shaoyang sent someone to pass the message to Hu Xueyi.
Hu Xueyi has always been impatient.
He didn't want to go look for Lu Shao and Qiao Ye, for fear of alerting the enemy.
So he arranged for someone to go to the house where Qiao Ye lived and pretend to empty the toilet.
Then pass the news to Qiao Ye.
When Lu Shao returned home, he saw his young wife sitting in the yard thinking about something.
He walked over and asked with a smile: "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
Qiao Ye pulled him to sit down, "Hu Xueyi sent someone to deliver a message today."
"They say that the Fifth Prince is the apparent backstage master of that theater, but they didn't instruct Min Xiu to do that."
"It was all ordered by the theater owner."
"If I want to vent my anger, I can do it. They will never interfere or cause trouble for me."
"By the way, a piece of news was revealed. The owner of the theater is from the eighth prince's family."
She looked at Lu Shao and asked, "Do you think the owner of this theater is the real master behind Min Xiu?"
Lu Shao thought for a moment and replied, "What the anti-King found out is that the theater owner is not in charge of the business now."
"That boss is the uncle of the eighth prince."
"Now, all matters concerning the theater are handed over to his son."
"It's not entirely certain whether the boss has a problem, but his son definitely has a problem."
Qiao Ye nodded, "That's true."
She asked, "Will the Eighth Prince have any problems?"
Lu Shao thought about his past life, "The Eighth Prince showed himself to be very loyal to the Fifth Prince, and he did not try to win over anyone or any forces."
"He has been with the Fifth Prince since he was a child. He is not very noticeable, but he is one of the core figures of the Fifth Prince's party."
"But before the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he sold out the Fifth Prince in order to protect his mother's safety in the palace."
"So after the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, the Fifth Prince was demoted and imprisoned."
"Although the Eighth Prince was not given a high position, he was not stripped of his status as a prince and imprisoned. He is still holding a sinecure and living a carefree life."
Then he thought carefully and said, "Now that I think about it, his loyalty to the Fifth Prince must have been greatly reduced."
Qiao Ye also said: "The princes who participated in the fight for the throne, unless they have a true brotherly love like the Seventh Prince has for the Crown Prince."
"Or maybe he really couldn't be dragged down, so he turned to a brother to make his future life less difficult."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to be more loyal to another brother."
"The Eighth Prince might also have ambitions to seize the throne, but he has never shown it."
"Especially those who seem inconspicuous on the surface, but they may be the most cunning. After all, the barking dog never bites."
"You better pay more attention to this person."
The Eighth Prince has supported the Fifth Prince since he was young and took his own side. It doesn't look like he can't be dragged down.
Lu Shao nodded solemnly, "I think so too."
If it weren't for this incident, they really wouldn't have paid much attention to the Eighth Prince.
In his previous life, the other party was very low-key and never showed up among the princes and the court.
She is not favored by the emperor, but she is not disliked by him either.
He doesn't fight for anything like other princes and has no sense of existence.
Apart from the fact that everyone knows on the surface that he is the Fifth Prince's man, not much else is known about him.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Shao realized that something was wrong.
If you really don't like fighting and want to keep a low profile, why would you bother getting involved in the fight for the throne?
Now there are several princes who really have no ambition. They are neutral and do not support anyone, nor do they participate in the fight for the throne.
Such a prince will be safe as long as the person in power is not a tyrant or really dislikes him.
It's okay to not be reused, but to live a leisurely life.
The eighth prince is somewhere in between the two. He seems low-key and has no sense of presence. I'm afraid this is an appearance he creates deliberately.
"I will pass the news to the rebel king and ask him to investigate the eighth prince's mother's family."
The eighth prince’s maternal family is also not prominent, equally low-key and insignificant.
And the eighth prince's mother in the palace also has a similar lack of presence.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was not right.
Qiao Ye agreed: "Well, check it out carefully."
The rebels wanted to deal with them every day, so they were forced to get involved.
She added, "Hu Xueyi sent us the message. It must have been the Fifth Prince who ordered it."
"They learn quickly. They want me to muddy the waters."
Lu Shao asked with a smile: "Then will you accept the challenge, lady?"
The intentions of the Fifth Prince and Song Shaoyang are too obvious.
The other party deliberately revealed that they could find fault with the theater as they pleased and they would not interfere.
It is an open attempt to take advantage of them, it is an open conspiracy, it just depends on whether they accept it or not.
