Chapter 3 Overall Plan

Regardless of whether Yan Cang is a pig or not, things that need to be explained must be explained clearly. Although Chu Yunjin understands that no matter how she explains, she can't make the dead seem alive.

The only thing she was grateful for was that the Emperor hadn't been so furious yesterday that he had ordered Consort Gu's execution. Otherwise, even if she had three heads and six arms today, she probably wouldn't have been able to get past this brother and sister.

Chu Yunjin took a deep breath.

“I think you should listen to Prince Jin’s plan first.” She pulled Yan Cang’s arm and turned to walk into the house. “Come in, I’ll tell you his whole plan.”

"Royal brother," Yan Jinyue frowned, "the words of this vile woman are not to be believed at all, Royal brother—"

Yan Cang was dragged into the house by Chu Yunjin.

Yan Jinyue pursed her lips, her expression filled with obvious resentment and suspicion.

She simply didn't believe that Chu Yunjin would suddenly become so knowledgeable and reasonable, much less that she would betray Yan Heng.

I'm afraid she's up to some bad idea again.

Why didn't my brother shake her hand off?

She stamped her foot and followed them inside.

After entering the room, Chu Yunjin released Yan Cang, walked to the table, poured herself a cup of tea, gulped it down in one go, and then turned to look at the brother and sister.

“Yesterday, Yan Heng asked me to give false testimony, falsely accusing the Imperial Concubine of improper behavior. His purpose was not simply to deal with the Imperial Concubine, but to target the Prince.” Chu Yunjin sighed softly, a look of guilt appearing on her face. “He said that my attempts to divorce her have been ineffective, and I have to use drastic measures. As long as I make a move against the Imperial Concubine or Sixth Sister, the Prince will lose his patience and agree to divorce me.”

Yan Jinyue angrily retorted, "So you—"

"Sixth Princess, please let me finish speaking." Chu Yunjin calmly interrupted her, "I am now trying to atone for my sins."

Yan Jinyue sneered, "Trying to atone for my crimes with good deeds?"

Only a pig would believe her nonsense!

Yan Cang stood silently by the window, his tall and upright figure exuding an inexplicable sense of loneliness and desolation.

“The Prince of Jin said that once the Imperial Concubine gets into trouble, Your Highness’s patience will be pushed to the limit, and you will agree to divorce me. However, there is no precedent for divorce among the royal family’s offspring. Once Your Highness goes to the palace to ask for a divorce agreement, it will definitely anger Father Emperor.” Chu Yunjin said, taking another breath. “Father Emperor is already furious. In his rage, he is very likely to issue an order to use the court flogging. He has already bribed the guards of Chonghua Palace. When the time comes, a beating will definitely cripple Your Highness.”

Yan Jinyue gasped, “You…you people are so vicious.”

Chu Yunjin looked at her and couldn't help but defend herself, saying, "I'm not the one who's malicious, it's Prince Jin."

Yan Jinyue said coldly, "You're all birds of a feather!"

Chu Yunjin was speechless and could only continue, "He used very subtle methods, and the injuries he caused will not be discovered immediately. They will simply fail to heal during the recovery process. Although the war in the northern frontier has been suspended, the Emperor will issue an edict ordering the Prince to return to the border after he recovers. He is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree."

"The prince might spend three or five years at the border, but at most ten years. His still-healing injuries, combined with years of fighting enemies and the ravages of the northern deserts, will gradually break him down. On the other hand, the Prince of Jin has married the prime minister's daughter, so he has the prime minister's support in the court, and in terms of military power..."

Chu Yunjin tried hard to recall the plot from the book: "Pei Yi'an held military power..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Jinyue's expression changed drastically. "Pei Yi'an is my fiancé. He will be my son-in-law in the future. How could he possibly become the Prince of Jin's man?"

Chu Yunjin gently closed her eyes: "It's not that it's impossible, but that he is now Prince Jin's man."

Yan Jinyue gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That's utter nonsense!"

The more they talk, the more outrageous it gets.

This woman is indeed full of lies; not a single word she utters is believable.

"It's true." Chu Yunjin looked at her calmly, her tone firm. "Sixth Princess, I can make you believe everything I say."

Yan Jinyue clenched her hands, reason telling her not to believe her. This woman was full of lies and scheming; her words were not to be trusted at all.

But somehow...

When she met her eyes, she suddenly felt a wave of panic.
