She watched him express his worries.
“If we cause public anger, or if that person in the palace gets angry, it won’t be good for us.”
“No! You’re wrong. ” The ninth Prince shook his head.
“As long as great Xia’s Foundation is not in turmoil and the Army is not in chaos, the situation will always be in father’s control. Even the open and secret fights between us are all under his control. If he had opened his mouth, he could have stopped us with a divine decree, but he didn ‘t. ”
He paused for a moment.
He looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
“Such a big thing has happened this time, yet Imperial father didn’t even send a single person. Do you still not understand the deep meaning behind this?”
“Is he acquiescing to it?” Cui zhangyun asked.
“Yes.” The ninth Prince nodded.
“If it wasn’t for this, he would have already sent people to beat them up, and there wouldn’t have been no news at all.”
“But if we do that, won’t they join forces against us?” Cui zhangyun said.
“Even if we don’t do this, they will still join forces to deal with us!” The ninth Prince sneered.
“However, when you do it, you must have a goal and a plan. You must deal with a few of them, and then deliberately let one or two go. In this way, the people who suffered heavy losses would definitely feel unbalanced and suspicious when they saw that the other princes ‘properties were safe and sound. Think about it, I can’t even protect myself now. If I spread the news to the outside world and busy myself with the marriage, I can’t care about anything else, including the death of Taoist master Xuan Xin. ”
He took a sip of tea and continued.
“The first impression will leave an impression in their hearts. This Prince has put down everything to ensure that this marriage will pass safely before investigating this matter. “This way, my suspicion will be reduced to the minimum. Even if they suspect me, they won’t continue to attack me. At this time, their attention will be drawn to the Prince, whose property is intact. ”
“Wonderful! It’s really wonderful. ” Cui zhangyun praised.
“This way, no one will suspect us.”
“This is only the first step.” The ninth Prince’s face was dark as he clenched his fists.
“When the rat plague spreads and the capital is in chaos, it will be time for us to kill them with a borrowed knife and get rid of them one by one. When that time comes, we’ll be the biggest winners if we plan well. ”
“What if the rat plague can’t be controlled?”
“I won ‘t!” The ninth Prince was certain.
“Don’t underestimate the people from the spirit gods Department. They have many tricks up their sleeves. When the situation becomes irredeemable, father will let them take action.”
“I understand!” Cui zhangyun nodded his head heavily.
“Your Highness, please rest assured. This matter will be done very discreetly and no one will be able to detect it.”
“Yes.” The ninth Prince replied.
After discussing for a while more and perfecting the entire plan, cui Changyun finally took his leave.
“Men, come.”
Aunt Xue pushed the door open and walked in from outside.
“Your Highness!”
The matter had been successfully concealed, and her tensed heart could finally be completely relaxed.
“Prepare a palanquin. I’m going to the palace to meet the Emperor.”
“Now?”
“Not bad!” The ninth Prince nodded.
“I have just discussed with cui zhangyun. Three days later is an auspicious day to marry the eldest daughter of the cui family, cui Xiuqing.”
“So fast? But the marriage hasn’t been decided yet?”
“It’s a critical moment, so some common customs can be avoided. ”
“It’s Your Highness! This servant will go and arrange it. ” Aunt Xue replied respectfully and turned to leave.
After a while.
The news that the ninth Prince had entered the palace and asked Emperor Sheng Wen to give an order to marry the eldest daughter of the cui family in three days spread in the capital. All forces had received the news.
The entire mansion was bustling with activity. Some were cleaning, some were decorating, and some were making purchases. Everyone’s face was filled with joy.
At night.
Granny Hong returned with news that the second Prince’s concubine, Jiang Fei, had been captured.
“Really?” The ninth Prince’s eyes lit up.
“Yes.” Granny red nodded.
“Let’s go!” The ninth Prince called out.
He walked into the study and lifted the painting hanging on the wall. He pressed on the plum blossom and the wall opened, revealing a secret passage that led directly to a large courtyard of the brocade workshop.
This courtyard was also his property, but no one lived here. It was still under someone else’s name, in case of any accidents.
After changing into a set of night-traveling clothes, they brought along granny red. It was just the two of them, and they didn’t bring anyone else.
After leaving this place, under granny Red’s lead, they rushed towards the secret stronghold in the north of the city.
At this point.
He entered the room and saw Jiang Fei tied up on the bed with her eyes covered. The ninth Prince’s face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with the joy of revenge.
“Go outside and stand guard.” The ninth Prince’s voice changed.
“Yes.” Granny red agreed.
He left the bedroom and stood guard outside.
The ninth Prince walked over and looked at Jiang Fei with a wicked smile. He thought viciously, you forced me to do this!
Chi!
With a violent tug, Jiang Fei’s clothes were torn apart.
At this time, Jiang Fei had just woken up and saw that someone was touching her. Her eyes were covered, her mouth was gagged, and her hands and feet were tied up. She couldn’t move even if she wanted to.
Her heart was filled with fear, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
She struggled with all her might, but no matter how hard she tried, there was no effect.
