Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 366; Good calculation
The next day, Huo Jinyan took the packed things and left the city in a carriage after breakfast.

When they arrived at the gate of the Hot Spring Villa, the carriage suddenly stopped.

He opened the car curtain and looked out. There happened to be some noise coming from the front, and he frowned slightly.

"What happened to Lao Ma?"

"Master, there is a carriage in front of you that is about to enter Zhuangzi. The people from the lady's house are checking it."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan was a little puzzled. Why did someone come here so early in the morning?
You must know that the hot spring villa is very big now. Although there are many people coming and going every day, the hot spring villa is also divided into several gates.

There is a gate on the commercial street, and there is also a gate on the industrial zone. The gate they are currently at is the gate of Huo Junyao's residence. No one would come here normally.

Even if there are businessmen who want to see Huo Junyao, most of them enter through the commercial street and then go to the company headquarters to ask for a meeting.

Why did someone come to the place where his little sister lived early this morning to ask for a visit?

"Go and ask who they are."

The driver of the old horse responded, jumped off the carriage and walked forward, then turned back after a while.

"Master, the driver in front of you is the driver from the East Palace. It sounds like he is here to discuss matters with the third lady on behalf of the imperial court."

"People from the East Palace?"

Huo Jinyan frowned, opened the curtain and got out of the car.

"You should leave quickly, our princess will not see you."

The guard guarding the gate refused the people from the East Palace without any courtesy.

Those who can be on duty at Huo Junyao's residence have all been with Huo Junyao for some years, or in other words, with Duke Ji's Mansion or the Princess's Mansion.

They all knew what the Prince of the East Palace had done to their young lady, and they also knew very clearly that their young lady did not like people from the East Palace.

It's not like no one from the East Palace has come here before, and they asked for permission before, but the lady's original words were that no one from the East Palace is welcome at the Hot Spring Villa.

This is nothing like having a relationship with the East Palace. The people who came over that time were the people around the Crown Princess, and they were all treated like this.

Today, the people under the prince's command are even less likely to get in.

"Why do you want to see my sister?"

Huo Jinyan walked closer and opened his mouth. Those in the East Palace who were still arguing with the guards quickly turned their heads.

"I've seen the second young master."

When the guards of the Hot Spring Villa saw Huo Jinyan, they quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Huo Jinyan waved his hand and stared at the people in the East Palace, waiting for their answer.

"It turns out it's Mr. Xiao Huo. You're here just in time. I'm here on behalf of the Imperial Arms Supervisor to discuss the purchase of bombs with Princess Zhaode on the orders of His Royal Highness."

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaode have some disagreements, this is not a personal grudge. The official is here to represent the imperial court. Doesn't being rejected mean that you don't take the imperial court seriously?"

Although this man looked polite, his words were anything but polite.

After seeing this, he started to blame Princess Zhaode. This was to use the imperial court to suppress Princess Zhaode.

Huo Jinyan's face darkened and he looked up and down at the man in front of him. He used to be a frequent visitor to the East Palace. After all, cousins, it was normal for them to stay close to each other. However, since the incident where the prince framed his little sister, Huo Jinyan directly drew a clear line with the prince.

He has never been to the East Palace again, and the prince has also won over many people over the years, so he really doesn't know what the status of the person in front of him is in the East Palace.

"who are you?"

"The lower official Zhou Tong is the official of Zhan in the East Palace."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan nodded and continued, "It turns out it's Zhan Shi of the East Palace. Those who don't know think you are an imperial envoy of the imperial court. When you open your mouth and shut up, you are the imperial court. Can you represent the imperial court?"

Huo Jinyan's tone was full of disdain, and he didn't even look at where this place was.

Nowadays, no one in the capital knows that this is the territory of Princess Zhaode. Not to mention the affairs of the East Palace, even if the six ministers come here, they have to stay in peace.

Zhou Tong's face darkened when he heard this. Just when he was about to refute, Huo Jinyan's voice sounded again.

"Don't say you can't represent the imperial court. Even if you can, I've never heard of the imperial court being able to forcefully buy other people's things."

"Why, do you, Dong Palace, want to make an exception?"

It’s a shame, who can’t?

Sure enough, when Zhou Tong heard this, his expression changed again. Most of the anger in his heart was gone, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir Xiao Huo is serious. I made a mistake and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me."

"But this matter is really urgent. You also know that His Royal Highness, the Prince, is now in charge of weapons supervision. There will be a war against the Turks soon. His Royal Highness thought that Princess Zhaode had a bomb in her hand, so she came over to talk about it. If With the help of bombs, those Turks will definitely not be our opponents."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan snorted in his heart, and he could tell at a glance what the other party had planned.

It was a good plan. Not even the emperor got the bomb. If Dong Palace got it, it would be a great achievement.

The prince clearly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of fighting the Turks to forcefully get this thing into his hands.

I have to say that the calculation is very good. The Turks are the enemies of the entire Yu Dynasty. If Huo Junyao refuses, then it won’t be long before a lot of bad words will spread outside, and then many people who don’t know why will The prince took advantage.

Huo Junyao's reputation will be greatly affected by then, and even the bad things that happened a few years ago may be revealed.

But if Huo Junyao handed over the things for reputation, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving credit to the prince for no reason?
The bomb's contribution was great, and it might even directly make the prince's position extremely stable.

"Since it's a matter for the weapons supervisor, why did you, a Zhan from the East Palace, come here to interfere?"

"Why does His Highness the Crown Prince want to control the bomb himself? What does he want to do?"

Zhou Tong's heart sank, and he looked at Huo Jinyan with a cold look.

I have to say that Huo Jinyan's analysis was correct. Zhou Tong planned to use the attack on the Turks to force Huo Junyao to hand over the bomb formula. Although this thing was handed over to the weapons supervisor, who said it couldn't be copied in private? How about a copy?

If the prince masters this thing, his status will be very stable, and the King of Qi and King Chu will no longer be satisfied.

"I'm quite curious. How about I ask the emperor about it?"

"Master Xiao Huo has misunderstood. There are currently not enough manpower in the Ordnance Supervision, so His Highness arranged for the subordinate to come over. He had no other intentions."

"Your Majesty, please go back now and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to arrange for the weapons supervisor to come over again."

Originally, without Huo Jinyan, he might still have a chance to stalk and pressure the court to meet Huo Junyao, but now that Huo Jinyan is here, and his mouth is quite powerful, it will be very detrimental to them if they continue to make trouble. It’s better to go back now and make plans.
