"The reason why Prince Xiao is so fixated on Yan'er is because he believes that since Yan'er is his wife, Lord Chu and his brothers can only stand on his side and serve him in the future struggle for the throne."

However, if Lord Chu and his ilk switch allegiance to other princes and secretly help them, Prince Xiao will feel that the Chu family can no longer provide him with assistance.

However, Lord Chu and the others might not agree to this, after all, this is a major matter for the court, and one cannot simply take sides in the struggle for the throne.

Su Liluo slowly analyzed.

Ultimately, it was because she didn't understand the Chu family well enough and wasn't confident in them. In her previous life, after Yan'er died, Chu Yun married into the Xiao Prince's mansion as the adopted daughter of the Chu family, and the Chu family had always been a staunch supporter of the Xiao Prince.

“If it were before, my father and the others would definitely have firmly supported Prince Xiao, but since I saw Prince Xiao’s true colors, my father and the others have actually become somewhat wavering.”

They've now shifted from supporting Prince Xiao to remaining neutral, but they haven't supported anyone else. If it were up to my father to support someone else, I could try to persuade him.

Anyway, Prince Xiao is so cunning and ruthless; if he were to sit on that throne in the future, the people of the world would suffer!

"Not only that, you also need to make King Xiao unable to tolerate you, to make him feel that you are useless and only bring him trouble, so that he will be disgusted and he will make up his mind to divorce you."

After Chu Yan finished speaking, Che Yi added some more information.

How could he make King Xiao despise him?

Chu Yan narrowed her eyes and began to think: how could she make Prince Xiao despise her?

"I see!"

After thinking for a while, Chu Yan suddenly had an idea.

Doesn't King Xiao like Chu Yun?

If she can scheme against him like this for his sake, then if he torments Chu Yun in the mansion without making him find fault, will Prince Xiao collapse?

Chu Yan shared her idea with Su Liluo and the others, and they also felt it was worth a try.

At the same time, Gao Changhong quickly left the restaurant and returned to his temporary residence in Daliang.

He called Gao Junning and Gao Yufei to his side.

"Father, is there something you need from us?"

Gao Junning stood respectfully to the side and asked.

"I have something to tell you about something. It's about Yufei taking a fancy to the Crown Prince of Daliang last time."

Gao Changhong slowly sipped his tea.

"Father, I've said I'm going to pursue this Crown Prince myself. I've been investigating his preferences lately, planning to find the right approach to win him over. Please don't stop me."

Gao Yufei couldn't help but feel nervous when her father mentioned her pursuit of the Crown Prince.

At the time, her father expressed his support for her at the banquet, but after returning home, he told her that if she really couldn't win him over, she should try another one, especially since she heard that the King of Chu was not yet married.

Therefore, Gao Yufei thought that her father was going to persuade her to give up again.

"Yes, I support you. Be brave and pursue the Crown Prince of Daliang. Try to get him and his Crown Princess to divorce. Also, Jun Ning, I've heard that this Crown Princess is very capable."

While your sister is pursuing the Crown Prince, you should also go find the Crown Princess. You and your sister can work together, each taking action, and I believe the Crown Prince and his wife will surely separate.

Gao Changhong nodded, then looked at Gao Junning beside him.

"You want me to go after the Crown Princess?"

Gao Junning was surprised by Gao Changhong's words and couldn't understand why his father would do such a thing.

"Yes, I have met this Crown Princess. She is quite beautiful. I doubt there is a woman as beautiful as her in our Northern Desert. Although she is a second wife, you have not lost out."

Gao Changhong nodded.

Since the Crown Princess is the daughter of Ruan Ruan and another man, and since she left him and they are not together, he must ensure that their child is together.

Now that Ruan Ruan is dead, the regrets between them cannot be made up for, and they can only seek solace in their child.

If the Crown Princess were to marry his son, his son, Ruan Ruan's daughter, such a union would bring him some comfort.

"Father, but she has nothing but beauty!"

Gao Junning exclaimed in surprise.

To be honest, although the Crown Princess is beautiful, he is not someone who only cares about looks.

He is the son of the Regent of the Northern Desert and intends to inherit his father's mantle and become the true ruler of the Northern Desert.

However, his father has always been concerned about his illegitimate older brother and has always wanted to bring him back to inherit his position, so he has not yet named himself as the heir apparent.

Originally, he and his mother planned to marry a woman in the Northern Desert who could help them and get their father to make him the heir apparent.

But now, my father wants me to pursue the Crown Princess of Daliang.

He was truly unwilling to accept this situation; what good could this woman possibly bring him?

Moreover, she was a used woman who had already been married, so he was truly resistant to her.

"Father, how could you let my brother marry a woman who has been married before? She is not good enough for my brother at all!"

Hearing Gao Changhong's decision, Gao Yufei, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised and dissatisfied.

Although it sounded like her father was helping her by having her brother break up the Crown Prince's marriage through another route, she felt that the Crown Princess was not good enough for her brother at all.

You should know that her second brother's appearance in the Northern Desert was only slightly less attractive than her father's illegitimate eldest brother, but his talent and family background were the best.

No woman in the entire Northern Desert didn't want to marry her second brother, yet their father made him pursue such a woman!

She was not satisfied.

"Whether you are worthy or not is not important. I have told you to do this, so you must do it. Junning, I know what your mother is thinking. No one can change my mind now."

"If you can't win over this Crown Princess, then you don't need to return to the Northern Desert for now. You can go back whenever you succeed!"

Gao Changhong said coldly.

Gao Junning was shocked, never expecting his father to threaten him like this.

If he doesn't return to the Northern Desert, it's as if he's lost everything.

Therefore, Gao Junning could only suppress his dissatisfaction and agree.

"However, don't worry, I will help you. I just hope you can keep the Crown Princess in check. I think that woman is resolute. Even if you force your way into her hands, you have to win her heart first."

Gao Changhong noticed Gao Junning's dissatisfaction and said a few more words.

He certainly didn't expect Gao Junning to come up with a solution; he just wanted Gao Junning to put his heart into keeping the Crown Princess after he helped him marry her.

After all, I tried to seize things by force back then, but I couldn't win their hearts, and sooner or later I won't be able to keep them.

The next day.

Gao Changhong then went to the palace with many precious gifts.

"This is the Snow Lotus that our founding emperor of the Northern Desert found on the banks of a glacial river. It can be used to refine elixirs and make medicines. Its longevity-promoting effects are comparable to those of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

Gao Changhong opened an exquisite gift box and presented it to Emperor Wenjian.
