If it were a young girl, she would have been smitten by him.
Jiujiu rested her chin on one hand and looked at the Fifth Prince's calm face. She said slowly, "Do you feel good about acknowledging the old dog of the Eastern Faction as your godfather?"
Not many people knew that the Fifth Prince had acknowledged Wei Shun as his godfather. Most people thought that the Fifth Prince and Wei Shun simply had a good relationship.
At this moment, when he heard Jiujiu mention that she had acknowledged Wei Shun as her godfather, the Fifth Prince's eyes darkened. In an instant, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes. "What are you trying to say?"
Jiujiu looked at the Fifth Prince and said seriously, "I can help you become the Emperor."
The Fifth Prince looked at Jiujiu's tender cheeks and laughed. "You? Help me become the Emperor? "
Probably because he felt that Jiujiu was telling an unreachable joke, the Fifth Prince no longer looked at Jiujiu with the same vigilance as before.
Jiujiu waited patiently for the Fifth Prince to stop laughing. Then she continued, "Yes, I can help you become the Emperor."
The Fifth Prince stopped laughing and looked at Jiujiu. He asked, "Why would you help me?"
"Because I can give you evidence that the Regent and Qian Feng have usurped the throne. Also, I can give you the Commander's Seal."
Without the Commander's Seal, the Regent was like a toothless tiger without any deterrence.
It could be said that as long as the Fifth Prince had the Commander's Seal, his position would be secure.
The Fifth Prince didn't believe Jiujiu at first, but when he heard Jiujiu say that she could give him the Regent's Commander's Seal, his expression turned grave. He sat up straight and looked at Jiujiu. He asked, "Why should I believe you?"
"Just because you came here today." Jiujiu looked at the Fifth Prince and said softly, "If I can give you a dream, I can also give the Regent a dream. Today, if you trust me and help me, I will help you ascend to that position. If you leave now, then the person who will ascend to that position will be the Regent. That's all I have to say. It's up to you to decide which is more important."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she stopped talking and lowered her head to drink the tea in front of her. ,
The Fifth Prince fell into silence because of Jiujiu's words. After a long time, Jiujiu heard the Fifth Prince say to her in a hoarse voice, "What do I have to do to make you willing to help me?"
"Give me ten thousand taels of gold, and I want to see the Retired Emperor."
Although she didn't like the Retired Emperor, no matter what, he was still the little monk's father. Who was right and who was wrong, she would wait until the little monk saw him to decide.
Hearing that Jiujiu wanted to see the Retired Emperor, the Fifth Prince was completely stunned. He looked at Jiujiu with a more scrutinizing gaze.
Unable to find any clues from Jiujiu's expression, the Fifth Prince withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiujiu, asking, "Then what about my Imperial Father?"
He dealt with the Regent, but as long as the Emperor didn't speak, he couldn't ascend to the throne.
The Fifth Prince didn't want to bear the reputation of killing his father, so he wanted to borrow Jiujiu's hand to kill the Emperor so that he could ascend to the throne in a dignified manner.
Jiujiu always knew that the Fifth Prince wasn't a good person. When she heard the Fifth Prince hinting at her to help him get rid of his father, Jiujiu burst into laughter.
Jiujiu raised her head to look at the Fifth Prince. Her slightly curved eyes looked like two beautiful crescent moons.
"I don't believe that a person who can endure humiliation and recognize that old dog from the Eastern Faction as his godfather in order to ascend to the throne doesn't have this little bit of courage." Jiujiu looked into the Fifth Prince's eyes and said, "If you can't handle your Imperial Father's matter, then I feel that there's no need for us to continue cooperating. What do you think?"
The Fifth Prince wanted to gain benefits from Jiujiu, but he didn't expect to go for wool and come home shorn. Instead, he was checkmated by Jiujiu.
The Fifth Prince's face reddened. He lowered his eyelids to hide the ruthlessness in his eyes and said, "I will handle my Imperial Father's matter well. But what about the commander's seal?"
"Give me ten thousand taels of gold first, then I'll give you the commander's seal."
The Fifth Prince pretended to be thinking. "If you take the gold and leave, won't I suffer a loss for nothing?"
Jiujiu sneered and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold for the throne. If you don't even dare to bet on this, then you'll be like this for the rest of your life."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she ignored the Fifth Prince and directly sat up from her seat. As she walked out, she said, "Three days later, at the pavilion in the west of the city. I'll give you the commander's seal and you'll give me the gold."
"Miss is exceptionally intelligent. If I ascend to the throne, I'll definitely make Miss Xu an Imperial Consort."
There was no faster way to make a woman work for you than to make her yours.
Moreover, the position of an Imperial Consort was second only to one person. No one would not be moved.
Jiujiu paused and turned her head to look at the Fifth Prince's tender eyes. The corner of her mouth twitched and she said with disdain, "You're too ugly. I don't want to."
Jiujiu did not seem to care about how much damage her words would cause to the Fifth Prince. After she finished speaking, she immediately left.
The Fifth Prince had wanted to send someone to follow Jiujiu and find out where Jiujiu was staying. However, as soon as the person following Jiujiu walked out of the inn, he could no longer see any trace of Jiujiu.
Wu Qiao spoke again, "Master, this woman's origins are unknown. Shouldn't we be careful?"
In contrast to Wu Qiao's caution, the Fifth Prince was even more convinced.
His trusted aide explained that she had carefully selected a woman that even his trusted aide could not follow. It was clear that Jiujiu was truly talented.
Just as Jiujiu had said, ten thousand taels of gold for the throne was a sure-win deal.
If he lost, he would only lose ten thousand taels of gold. However, if he won, he would obtain the throne that he had always dreamed of.
When he thought of the possibility of obtaining the throne, the Fifth Prince's heart thumped wildly.
The Fifth Prince lowered his eyelids to hide the ambition that was about to appear in his eyes. "Let's go back first."
After returning to the mansion, Wu Qiao directly reported to the Fifth Prince about what he had done today. After Wu Qiao left, the Fifth Prince ordered his trusted aide to get ten thousand taels of gold for him as soon as possible.
His trusted aide was extremely surprised that the Fifth Prince wanted so much gold, but he obediently did as he was told.
While the Fifth Prince was busy getting the money, Jiujiu returned home.
When Jiujiu arrived home, the little monk Qing Feng had already prepared dinner for the evening. Seeing Jiujiu come back, Qing Feng revealed a gentle smile. He got up and walked to Jiujiu. He lowered his head and smiled gently. "Are you hungry?"
Jiujiu raised her hand to pat the snowflakes off her clothes and said with a smile, "I'm hungry. What delicious food did you make today? I just arrived at the door and I can smell the fragrance."
"You said last night that you wanted to eat beef brisket, so I specially made it for you."
Jiujiu sniffed and her nose was filled with the fragrance of the beef brisket. Jiujiu smacked her lips and said, "It must be delicious."
After dinner, Jiujiu sat in front of the window and watched the snow while drinking the sweet soup cooked by the little monk.
Qing Feng sat beside Jiujiu and looked at Jiujiu's flawless profile. He asked, "Where have you been?"
