Chapter 375: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind (2/2)



Su Chenyu looked at Qingtu's hand. To be honest, the hand of a noble lady looked a little rough which was unbecoming of her status.

Su Chenyu pushed the hand cream over again: "It seems that the Grand Concubine needs it more than this Lord."

Qing Tu understood what Su Chenyu meant. She glanced at her hands and said, "I don't usually pay attention to these things. It was only because His Highness said last night that my hands were a little rough that I remembered to buy a box of hand oil."

"The Grand Concubine is usually concerned about the affairs of the palace, so it is inevitable that she will be a little neglectful of herself. Before worrying about others, it is more practical to worry about your own affairs first."

Qing Tu always felt that Su Chenyu's words had other meanings: "The eldest prince has indeed been running around for the old prime minister's affairs recently. Master Fengyi, do you think the emperor will kill the envoy of Beirong for the old prime minister?"

The topic change was too abrupt. Su Chenyu knew that Qingtu had misunderstood her meaning.

She just wanted to remind Qingtu to be careful of Feng Xuanming and Feng Huailue in case they attacked her and her daughter, but Qingtu thought she was talking about Prime Minister Sun.

However, since the matter was brought up, Su Chenyu did not hide it: "I heard that Prime Minister Sun was about to resign and return home, but I didn't expect something like this to happen at this time."

"Prime Minister Sun is going to resign and return home?" Xian Qingtu was obviously not clear about this matter.

Su Chenyu was a little confused: "The eldest prince is close to the Sun family. Didn't he tell you about this? The queen made one mistake after another. The emperor originally spared her life for the sake of the old prime minister. I didn't expect that the queen would die so miserably in the end."

"Your Highness would never do something like murdering someone." Qingtu was very sure of this.

"Grand Concubine, regardless of whether the eldest prince did it or not, as long as the King of Xixia firmly believes that he did it, then he did it. If the eldest prince gets too close to the Sun family, I wonder how the King of Xixia will feel? If a person is considered to have done something, he must stick to it. If he changes too much in the middle, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

The Queen was born into the Sun family, which was Feng Huailue’s maternal family.

In the eyes of the world, Feng Huailue had already committed the crime of murdering his father, so he should stay away from the Sun family at this time. If he stood up for the old prime minister, Feng Xuanming and the world would probably doubt his intentions, and no one would think that he really wanted to seek justice for the old prime minister.

After hearing what Su Chenyu said, Qing Tu's heart tightened. Thinking of Feng Huailue's recent behavior, she panicked: "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do in the mansion, so I left first."

Watching Qingtu leave, Su Chenyu knew that the fish had taken the bait.

Feng Xuanming must have been responsible for Prime Minister Sun's death. He must have hated the Sun family to the core, but the Sun family's power was so intertwined that he could not kill them completely.

But because of Sun Yuqin's matter, Prime Minister Sun had no choice but to return his power to Feng Xuanming little by little. He thought that this would protect the entire Sun family from danger, but he never expected that after Feng Xuanming took back the power, the first thing he would want was his life.

Use Chang Mo's help to kill Prime Minister Sun.

In this way, Feng Zhaolin helps Beirong, while Feng Huailue helps the Sun family, and Feng Xuanming can just sit back and watch. The more fiercely these two sons fight, the stronger each other's strength will be weakened, and the safer his position as the crown prince will be.

If the alliance between Feng Zhaolin and Rong Zhang is already a tacit agreement, Feng Huailue will definitely use all his forces to kill Chang Mo in order to suppress Feng Zhaolin.

Feng Zhaolin failed to save Chang Mo's life, and his cooperative relationship with Rong Zhang will also collapse.

It really is a plan that kills two birds with one stone, but how could Su Chenyu let Feng Xuanming get his wish?

As long as Qing Tu persuades Feng Huailue not to get involved in this matter, Feng Xuanming's plan will fail, and the one who will face Beirong will be Feng Xuanming himself.

At that time, will Feng Xuanming personally order the killing of Chang Mo in order to undermine the cooperation between Feng Zhaolin and Rong Zhang?
