Chapter 449 Jealousy
"The county magistrate is hosting a banquet for me at this critical moment, and the emperor can use this as an excuse to deal with him."
Sang Ye sighed, "Prince Zheng has really grown up. You wouldn't have thought about these things before."
Zheng Xingguang couldn't bear to hear him say that, "I'm still a child."
"It's just that this matter is of great importance, otherwise I wouldn't want to care so much."
Sang Ye smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Speaking of which, there are quite a few people who have changed because of their babies.
After Mu Baobao and his group had packed up, they boarded a carriage and prepared to leave the town and continue on their journey.
However, when he was leaving the inn, he was stopped by the county magistrate and his legal advisor.
"Hello, everyone." The county magistrate bowed respectfully with a flattering smile on his face.
"Prince Zheng, are you leaving?"
Zheng Xingguang took full advantage of being a child, and an unreasonable one at that, and asked, "What's it got to do with you?"
"Get out of my way!"
The county magistrate thought that Prince Zheng was indeed the same as the rumors said.
The smile on his face widened a little, "Prince Zheng, I wonder if you could stay for one night?"
"I have prepared a banquet tonight and would like to invite you all to attend."
Zheng Xingguang scoffed, "The people in your town can barely get water, and you're still in the mood to hold a banquet."
"You are a very good county magistrate."
The county magistrate didn't expect him to say such a thing, and his smile froze. "Prince Zheng, please rest assured. I have arranged everything."
"By the day after tomorrow at the latest, the people in this town will no longer be short of water."
Fortunately, he made some arrangements, otherwise something really bad would have happened.
Zheng Xingguang didn't believe a word of it and snorted, "You don't need to say such nice things."
"I, a child, can't take care of all this."
After saying that, he pushed the county magistrate away, took Mu Baobao's hand and got into the carriage.
The county magistrate wanted to stop him again.
But Sang Ye stopped the county magistrate first, "County magistrate, if I were you, I wouldn't think about trying to please Prince Zheng any more."
"It's no use trying to please Prince Zheng. If he hates someone, then he hates that person."
After sliding down, he and Mu Pingping got on the carriage.
Leaving the county magistrate in a panic, how could Prince Zheng hate him?
Could it be that Prince Zheng learned something?
Whether it is or not, he needs to make arrangements.
the other side.
The carriage of Mu Baobao and others slowly left the town.
"That county magistrate," Zheng Xingguang said with disgust, "is truly disgusting."
Mu Baobao blinked, sat there chewing an apple, and said nothing. She didn't understand any of this.
However, that county magistrate is not a good person, his smile is very strange.
Sang Ye poured a cup of cold tea for Zheng Xingguang and chuckled, "Prince Zheng, there's no need to be angry. It won't be long before this county magistrate is gone."
"Mu Pingping, have you noticed anything?"
Mu Pingping quickly sat up straight and expressed his thoughts, "The county magistrate seems to have been prepared for this."
"When Prince Zheng said the town was short of water, his expression froze for a moment. He probably didn't expect Prince Zheng to say such a thing."
"And that party, it's probably not a good one."
He had heard from his classmates at the Imperial College that some large families held banquets specifically to harm people.
It is said that a lot of things happen at such banquets.
Sang Ye looked at him with appreciation and said, "You guessed right. The banquet hosted by the county magistrate was not a good one."
"I suspect the county magistrate will find a young girl of the right age to accompany Prince Zheng, preferably one who can replace the baby."
"Replace me?" The wooden baby pointed at himself with his claws. "If you replace me, then I won't exist anymore."
She puffed her cheeks and huffed, "The county magistrate is so mean! He actually wants to harm me!"
Sang Ye and Mu Pingping were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as the baby had misunderstood.
"Baby, that's not what I mean by replace." Sang Ye pinched her cheek and explained.
"Replace here means to make the other person become good friends with Prince Zheng, so that Prince Zheng will no longer be friends with you."
If he guessed correctly, the county magistrate had heard that Prince Zheng was good to Bao Bao, so he wanted to use the little girl to win Prince Zheng's favor and climb up the high branch of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Mu Baobao uttered an "oh," still fuming, "that's bad too."
Sang Ye agreed, "It's very bad."
He warned, "Baby, there will be more such things in the future."
"Prince Zheng has a high status, and you have a good relationship with him. There will be many people who want to replace you and gain his favor."
"I don't like everyone," Zheng Xingguang said unhappily. "Besides, I particularly hate people who approach me with ulterior motives."
He grew up in such an environment, so he particularly hates such people.
Mu Baobao didn't quite understand this, but he consoled her, "Brother, don't be angry. I'm not angry either."
"Big brother just said that the bad county magistrate will be gone soon."
She tilted her head and said, "Big brother, does 'gone' mean dead?"
"Mr. Sang, my sister doesn't shy away from these things," said Mu Pingping.
Sang Ye hummed, "Almost."
"That county magistrate has done a lot of bad things and deserves to be beheaded."
When Mu Baobao heard this, he lost interest and turned to talk to Zheng Xingguang about where they would go to play next.
She is more interested in playing.
……
after a few days.
Emperor Sheng issued an edict to punish the county magistrate, his family, legal advisors, and others, either by beheading them or exiling them thousands of miles away.
The reason was that the county magistrate only wanted to give gifts to Zheng Xingguang and was planning to hold a banquet to plot against him.
This decree attracted the attention of many people.
Among them was King Xiaoyao.
She was so angry that she smashed the teacup beside her, her face so gloomy that water could drip out of it: "Father is really good to Zheng Xingguang."
"A small county magistrate gave a gift to Zheng Xingguang, and was punished by the emperor."
It would be great if the emperor would pay more attention to his sons, but it turns out that he only favors Zheng Xingguang.
If he didn't know that Zheng Xingguang was not his father's son, he would have mistakenly believed that his father would pass the throne to Zheng Xingguang just because of this favor.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry." The butler bowed slightly, hinting, "When you go out, you will encounter many unexpected things."
King Xiaoyao understood, and his eyes turned vicious. "Do as you say."
"Be sure to be careful and don't leave any clues, understand?"
It was his father who forced him to do so. It was his father who didn't favor him as his son and instead favored Zheng Xingguang, an outsider.
The butler said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take care of this matter and no one will notice it."
King Xiaoyao was confident in his ability to handle affairs. "If we need to have any accidents, then make sure they are all done to avoid leaving anyone alive and causing any problems."
The Sang family refused to join him, and the Mu family joined Prince Rui's Mansion. They all deserved to die.
King Xiaoyao thought his plan was perfect and no one else knew about it.
Little did he know that his every move was known to others.
