Chapter 548: Prince An’s Palace Power
Mr. Jin, who was sitting at the bottom, also saw Shen Yu's expression clearly. He wondered if the master of Prince An's Mansion was blind. How could he bring such a woman into the mansion? Wouldn't it bring unrest to the family?
In fact, Shen Yu is still very clear-headed in front of other people.
The reason why she behaved like this when she came to the eldest prince's mansion was because Shen Yu always felt that only the eldest prince could help her realize her dream.
She came to this conclusion because after arriving in the capital, she heard a lot of news about the eldest prince from the people, and all of them were praises for the eldest prince.
Originally, she was inclined towards the third prince, but after comparing all aspects, she still felt that the eldest prince had a greater chance of winning.
For her own future glory and wealth, she must of course make the right choice to avoid regrets later.
Besides, she also heard that the third prince was injured in that place and it was very likely that he would not have children in the future.
How could this be possible? She is a normal woman with physiological needs and the need for children. Moreover, if she marries into the royal family, even if she becomes the queen, her future life will not be easy without children.
This was not what she wanted. The Third Prince was naturally not within her range of choices. The First Prince was the one she decided to marry after much consideration.
Of course, she knew that with her previous status, the Crown Prince would not be interested in her.
But who could have made her so lucky? When she arrived in the capital, she heard about Prince An's Mansion and successfully entered it. Moreover, the eldest prince still needed the power of Prince An's Mansion.
This was a perfect opportunity for her, giving her enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the eldest prince.
"My Lord, I have taken the liberty of coming to you today because I want to help you achieve your great cause."
"Presumptuous, do you know what you are talking about?"
When Shen Yu first met the eldest prince, she felt a little embarrassed and blushed deeply because she thought that he would be her husband in the future.
However, when she knew what she should and should not do in her current situation, she calmed down and stopped being infatuated with him. Instead, she spoke calmly to the eldest prince.
"Don't get excited, my Highness. I am very clear-headed and I know what I said."
The eldest prince was immediately interested when he saw the big changes in Shen Yu before and after.
"Oh, then tell me, how can you help this prince?"
"First Prince, I know you have always wanted to win over Prince An's Mansion and use its power to eliminate your competitors. But Prince An rejected you outright, leaving no room for negotiation. However, I can help you get the troops of Prince An's Mansion, and they will all obey your orders."
"How dare you, a fake lady, say that you will hand over the power of Prince An's Mansion?"
"My Lord, you don't need to worry about what I do. Just know that I will keep my promise."
The eldest prince looked at Shen Yu's determined expression and thought that it was just a verbal promise, so it would be fine to agree to it. So he said simply, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news."
"My Lord, you also know how important the power of Prince An's Mansion is, so I can't just hand it over to you for no reason."
The eldest prince knew that Shen Yu’s next words would make him change his current strategy.
"What do you want?"
"My Lord, I will help you gain the power of Prince An's Mansion. In exchange, shouldn't you also show some appreciation?"
The eldest prince slumped down in his chair, looked at Shen Yu with lustful eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, how do you want me to express it?"
When Shen Yu saw the eldest prince like this, he began to doubt whether the news about the eldest prince he heard from the people was really accurate.
She had heard from the people that the eldest prince was kind and generous, treated the people very kindly, never used his status as a prince to oppress others, and was humble, polite, brave and courageous.
Once, the eldest prince was riding in a carriage when the horse lost control and trampled a person with its hooves. The eldest prince got off the carriage and ordered his servants to send the injured person to the clinic, and also asked someone to leave medical expenses.
There were countless such incidents, so that the eldest prince had a high prestige among the people.
In fact, when she heard the people say this, she was not without doubts and suspicions, but so what? The eldest prince's reputation was very well managed among the people and he had established a good mass base.
You must know that a person who can become a crown prince must not only have great strategies and great ideas, but also love the people and be able to put ordinary people in his heart. Only in this way can he gain more support from the people.
The eldest prince had done it, so of course she would choose the eldest prince unwaveringly.
As for the Third Prince, she could only give up with great reluctance, because even if the Third Prince was the Empress's legitimate son and had made great military achievements on the border, it was nothing.
You have to know that the people in the capital are far away from the border. Even if a war breaks out, it will not endanger the people in the capital. The people do not feel the threat brought by the war so strongly.
Although the people were grateful to the Third Prince for defending his country, they did not have a good impression of the First Prince.
Such a Third Prince is not worthy of Shen Yu's undivided attention.
"Grand Prince, let's be frank. I dare to come to your house alone today, so I am sure I can help you get what you want. I have helped you, and now it depends on whether you can fulfill my wish."
"Miss Shen, please be straightforward. This prince is going to make a statement here today. As long as you help this prince take down the power of Prince An's Mansion, you will be the mistress of this mansion in the future."
After getting the promise she wanted, Shen Yu stood up, as if she saw the queen's position beckoning to her.
"What happened to Miss Shen?"
"Oh, it's alright, Your Highness. It was me who lost my composure."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
However, she did not see the sneer on the eldest prince's mouth. She thought she had the ability to negotiate a deal with the eldest prince. In fact, the eldest prince just wanted to use her, and after squeezing out all the value from her, he would kick her away.
Of course, Shen Yu is not a brainless person. Most of the time, her mind is still very clear. She can guess a little about the eldest prince's thoughts and is prepared for the eldest prince to turn against her.
Shen Yu reached a cooperation with the eldest prince and then said goodbye.
Because she still remembered that before leaving the house, the old lady told her to go back within two hours. Now that more than an hour had passed, she couldn't delay any longer.
After all, she was able to gain a foothold in Prince An's Mansion because she relied on the old lady. If she caused the old lady's dislike, she believed that even if she was not kicked out of the mansion, she would no longer be valued.
This wouldn't work. She had already made an agreement with the eldest prince. She was just waiting for Prince An's Mansion to stand on the eldest prince's side, so that she could marry into the eldest prince's mansion and become his principal wife.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu hurried out of the house.
As soon as Shen Yu walked out of the eldest prince's mansion, he was seen by a master and a servant.
The two of them saw Shen Yu coming out of the eldest prince's mansion and were extremely confused. Since when did a woman who had entered the eldest prince's mansion become able to come out with her head erect?
