Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 173 Eager for quick success

The subordinate felt more and more aggrieved. He felt that he had said nothing wrong, but Pei Yunqing's temper was getting worse and worse, and he always got angry for no reason.

"Your Highness, I am worried about you."

When Pei Yunqing heard this, he just wanted to say one thing: It is true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

But he didn't say it in the end.

Although he thinks these people are trash, he has no choice but to use them now.

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but this matter is very complicated and can't be explained in just a few words. Besides, neither you nor I have any evidence to prove that there's a traitor among us."

What Pei Yunqing said was true, but his subordinates still felt aggrieved.

They were wholeheartedly thinking about their master, but now they get such a result. How can they not be heartbroken?

Even though the master apologized, he always felt that the master was not sincere and was just trying to appease him.

After all, there is still use in keeping them.

When it comes to interests, nothing is intolerable.

To put it bluntly, people are very realistic, even their subordinates are the same.

"Your Highness is right. I was too anxious."

Although the subordinates were dissatisfied, they also knew how to answer to satisfy Pei Xu.

Now they maintain such a wonderful harmony. Although it seems to be fine, it cannot withstand the slightest test.

But Pei Yunqing had no time to care about these things. He only wanted to find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible.

Not only Pei Xu felt that the matter could not be delayed any longer, Pei Yunqing also had the same idea.

The emperor was compassionate to begin with. If the matter was delayed any further, his anger would probably have subsided. By then, Pei Yunzhao would at most be confined to his house for a few days.

House arrest is not the result Pei Yunqing wants.

Pei Yunzhao was too arrogant. He had offended Pei Yunqing as early as the autumn hunt. Now that he had finally caught his weakness, Pei Yunqing naturally wanted to kill him.

Even though his thoughts were really cruel, there is a saying that goes, "No cruelty, no hero."

Since Pei Yunzhao blocked his way, it was understandable that he wanted to get rid of Pei Yunzhao.

Although it sounds a bit cruel, he believes that others would make the same choice.

"Alright, let's stop talking about those useless things. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to investigate Pei Yunzhao thoroughly. If we can bribe the people around him, that would be even better."

After Pei Yunqing met He Guangquan, he became interested in this person.

But He Guangquan is different from others. He cannot be bought off with ordinary gold and silver. It requires some hard work.

The more Pei Yunqing planned, the more powerless he felt. He also wondered why he was so pitiful that he had no one available at his disposal!

"I will do my best."

Pei Yunqing was already tired of hearing this sentence and didn't want to listen any further, so he waved his hand and asked him to leave.

He always felt that his subordinates could not guess his mind and could not satisfy him, but he did not know that his attitude would only alienate his subordinates.

After all, his subordinates were different from Pei Xu's, as they were all bought with silver.

There is a saying that goes, "A bystander sees more clearly than one involved in the matter." Pei Yunqing naturally didn't know that he had fallen into a vicious circle, and this vicious circle was constantly devouring him.

This is just the beginning, and more sorrows are waiting for him.

His methods were indeed strange, and the knowledge he possessed was something Pei Xu did not possess. If they really had to compare some strange methods, Pei Xu would naturally be no match for him.

But fighting for power and profit is never a one-person thing. If you want to succeed by one person, it is almost impossible.

Pei Yunqing certainly has the means, but he is still not patient enough and is a bit too eager for quick success.

Moreover, he obviously did not see through the emperor's heart.

It is normal for young people to be proud. It is a pity that Pei Yunqing was born too late, so he could not have as much time to try and make mistakes as his two older brothers.

Every mistake he makes is laying the foundation for his failure.

Pei Xu was naturally happy to see such mistakes. After all, the more mistakes Pei Yunqing made, the more room he had to take action.

Even though it may sound a bit unkind to take advantage of someone's misfortune, it's still fun.

Pei Xu did not take advantage of him in vain. Pei Yunqing had always wanted evidence against Pei Yunzhao, and he secretly had someone hand it over to him.

He believed that Pei Yunqing would be very happy after obtaining the evidence.

Just as he thought, Pei Yunqing smiled rarely after seeing what he wanted.

"You did a good job this time, and you will be rewarded handsomely."

When Pei Yunqing said this, his subordinates became even happier.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best to help you resolve your problems."

They worked for Pei Yunqing mainly for the money.

Although Pei Yunqing might seem a bit stingy when he went out to take care of things, he was still quite generous to people like them, otherwise they would not have been able to follow Pei Yunqing.

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. If you can continue to be like today, you will definitely receive rewards."

Pei Yunqing rarely smiled, and it was obvious that he was really happy.

But this was a bit difficult for his subordinates. If it was really that easy to find, they wouldn't have been stuck for so long.

But of course they wouldn't say such things out loud. It's rare for the master to be happy, so wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere if they said them out loud?

Pei Yunqing was in a good mood at the moment and was too lazy to argue with them.

He had been feeling aggrieved ever since he came back from the banquet. Now that he held the evidence of Pei Yunzhao's guilt in his hand, his back seemed to straighten a little.

Even though these evidences were not enough to get rid of Pei Yunzhao, at most they would just make him lose face, but that already made Pei Yunqing very happy.

Pei Yunqing himself didn't notice that he seemed to have deviated from his plan.

Originally, he should have devoted himself to suppressing Pei Yunzhao and making it impossible for him to make a comeback, but now his obsession is placed elsewhere.

Even though he had been wronged these days, he shouldn't have been like this.

But no one reminded him, and he was so immersed in his own joy that he didn't even think about how his useless subordinates suddenly became capable.

After Pei Xu knew that he had fallen into the trap, he was not proud. This was a long-term plan and would not produce results in one or two days.

But he also had a feeling at this moment that Pei Yunqing was just so-so. Apart from his cunning methods, he had no other outstanding qualities.

If Pei Yunqing couldn't even use such a small trick at will, he would be no different from them.

Thinking of this, Pei Xu felt relieved and went back happily to see Gu Jiaorong.

He knew that Gu Jiaorong had been bored these days and it was difficult for her to go out, so he wanted to make some time to accompany her.

After all, things are almost arranged now, and the people are gradually settling down. As long as we can get through this winter, there will be no problem.

As for the emperor urging him to return to the court, he ignored it.
