Although it was a casual remark, the air seemed to be filled with a chilling intent as it was spoken.
A gust of wind rustled the leaves of the trees nearby, and an unknown bird in the tree made an unpleasant cry. A few withered yellow leaves gradually fell with the wind and drifted down to Jin Changge's feet.
Jin Changge frowned and looked at her father, but his face remained expressionless, as if it were just a casual remark.
"Father, what do you mean by this?" Jin Changge asked in return.
Prince Qing, with his hands behind his back, strolled towards the edge of the pond, Jin Changge following closely behind. Upon reaching the pond, Prince Qing chuckled and said:
"Qin Ze has made many great achievements in the past few months, and has won the hearts of the people. He killed all the Hu cavalry in the Beiku Grassland without leaving a single one alive, which shows how strong his troops are."
"Even if he was angry that Huang Long had attacked him behind his back, he could have simply sent a message to the capital and asked His Majesty to punish Huang Long. But instead, he directly said in Beiliang that he wanted to purge the court of corrupt officials. Heh... I'm afraid his trip to the capital was not just about killing Huang Long."
After he finished speaking, Jin Changge's expression changed slightly.
"Huang Long is the Grand General of the Garrison, with deep roots in the capital. Qin Ze probably thought His Majesty wouldn't dare to punish Huang Long rashly, which is why he decided to personally lead the troops here..."
“If he knew His Majesty was so decisive, I…I think he would have withdrawn his troops,” Jin Changge explained.
Prince Qing shifted his gaze from the carp to Jin Changge's face. Seeing her slightly pale complexion, he sighed softly and said:
"Two years ago, His Majesty took back military power from the Qin family, and the Qin family is not allowed to leave the capital."
"Now that Qin Ze has gone to Beiliang, he has both popular support and military strength. What do you think he will do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Changge was taken aback, and then said coldly, "Father, you said he's plotting a rebellion."
At this point, Prince Qing nodded and sighed, "Hmm, I don't know..."
"But if he rebels, then this hard-won peace and prosperity will be thrown into chaos."
"The Western Capital is in chaos, the Northern Liang is in chaos, this is really troublesome, alas."
After a brief silence, Jin Changge raised her head, her face expressionless, and said, word by word:
“If he plots a rebellion, I will lead troops to kill him.”
