Chapter 689 The Imperial Concubine Blamed Zhen Mao

Sikong Yan replied sternly: "The prince is right, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can deal with, but because of the disparity in strength, do you just do nothing? Just wait for the evil dragon to reappear in the world, and wait for the people of Li to be killed by it. Swallow it? They are all my citizens of Great Qin, and it is only one person who can save one person, what does the prince think?"

King Ning was stunned by Sikong Yan and had nothing to refute, so he could only hum to express his disapproval.

"Let's leave this matter to the crown prince." The emperor finally decided.

"My son obeys the order." Si Kongyan got the emperor's order.

This time Zhen Mao felt uncomfortable.

The prince got this errand, how can he continue his plan?

Leaving the emperor's study room, Zhen Mao paid a special visit to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine had a sullen face, her attitude towards Zhen Mao was not as good as before.

"Second Uncle, I entrusted you with such an important matter out of trust in you, but now, you have messed up both things."

"Your Majesty, calm your anger." Zhen Mao said hurriedly, "I did follow the plan for the prince, but I didn't expect the prince to be so calm. The rumors outside are like this. Not in a hurry. He was so calm that the emperor felt that he had confidence, so he didn't doubt him."

"Second Uncle, the Crown Prince has no confidence. Shouldn't you have considered this in advance? Don't you want me to teach you how to operate it?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Zhen Mao was a little anxious, it was rare for the eldest brother to retreat, and the burden of the Zhen family was placed on him. If he messed up everything, not only the eldest brother would have opinions on him, but also the other elders in the family would not forgive him.

"Then what does Second Uncle mean? Second Uncle probably doesn't know how important the Zilong matter is to the Zhen family this time. If that's the case, why did you let such a thing happen?"

"Now Zilong can't be awakened, but the whole city is under martial law. If we can't wake up Zilong when the day of sacrifice comes, all the efforts of our Zhen family for so long will be in vain."

The concubine's accusation made Zhen Mao sweat all over.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I know I was wrong, and I promise I will never make such a mistake again."

Zhen Mao hurriedly assured the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine said coldly: "Then, for the next thing, does Second Uncle have any countermeasures?"

"This... this..." Zhen Mao thought hard, but his mind went blank, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while.

The noble concubine snorted, and knew that her second uncle was unreliable.

It's just that her father is currently in retreat, and he won't leave until two days before the sacrificial ceremony, so she can only let her second uncle take charge of the overall situation of the Zhen family.

"In the past few days, you told the Zhen family to stand still and stop probing. The palace has probably figured out Zilong's situation. When the day of the sacrificial ceremony is over, do it directly and completely wake Zilong up."

"Yes, I understand."

"Don't let the prince catch the handle in advance."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"In the past few days, if you have time, disturb the prince. Even if you can't force him to bleed again, you can't make him feel better, understand? In front of all the elders, it is not easy for me to speak for you, Second Uncle."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhen Mao just nodded and said yes repeatedly.

Although the imperial concubine Zhen Ruoxue is his niece, her status in the Zhen family is much higher than his.
