Ye Jingxian forced a smile and said, "My subordinates have failed in their duties, and I apologize for the princess's poor performance."
Princess Anle said calmly, "I think your subordinates are not bad. You can't blame them entirely. Blame Ye Junfei for being too cunning."
That night, Jingxian sent him a pink letter, asking him to discuss marriage. He felt that he could make good use of this opportunity.
The two met two days ago.
Because both of them harbored ulterior motives and were very willing to get married, they had a very pleasant conversation throughout the process.
Princess Anle tearfully recounted how Ye Junfei had beaten her during his wedding to Lin Xiuyan.
Ye Jingxian immediately said, "The way Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan acted deserves to be torn to pieces."
“They are in the village right now. I will take my men and kill them.”
He and Princess Pingnan originally planned to go to the manor to kill Ye Junfei and the others, and had already made arrangements. He said this only to please Princess Anle.
Princess Anle said calmly, "The Second Young Master was deceived by Ye Junfei; they are not even at the manor."
“I ran into them a few days ago when I went out. They seemed to be recruiting soldiers and preparing to deal with the Second Young Master.”
Ye Jingxian was somewhat surprised to hear this news: "What did you say? They're recruiting? Where are they recruiting?"
Princess Anle then told him about Zhou Chenyang having a private army, while omitting the fact that he had been defeated by Ye Junfei.
He only said that Ye Junfei had bribed Yu Zhan with a large sum of money and planned to use Yu Zhan's troops to attack the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
This news was a huge shock to Ye Jingxian when he first heard it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Junfei has such a vicious mind. He actually joined forces with outsiders to deal with the Prince's Mansion. He's just asking for death."
He originally only intended to send assassins to kill Ye Junfei, but because of Princess Anle's words, he directly transferred the Xuan Battalion over.
The Xuanzi Camp cleansed the entire manor but did not find Ye Junfei. Ye Qingwan escaped the manor under Wudao's protection.
After learning about this, Ye Jingxian, on Anle's advice, forced Wudao to throw out fireworks to ask Ye Junfei for help.
Then, severely wounded and without a weapon, they captured Ye Qingwan alive and set up a trap in the manor to kill Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan.
Princess Anle observed the entire process with a detached and indifferent attitude.
Although he felt that Ye Jingxian was much dumber than Ye Junfei, there were advantages to being a fool, such as being easy to manipulate.
During this process, he also witnessed the fighting power of the Xuanzi Battalion.
He was secretly surprised, because the fighting power of the Xuanzi Battalion was beyond his imagination.
He made a comparison and found that the Xuanzi Battalion's combat strength was not much worse than that of the Imperial Guards in the palace.
Furthermore, the Xuan-character battalion was not the strongest fighting force of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Above the Xuan-character battalion were the Tian-character battalion and the Di-character battalion.
Therefore, their previous assessment of the fighting strength of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion was incorrect, which also proves that the Prince of Pingnan had been hiding his true abilities.
Such fighting prowess also reminded him that he had underestimated the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Princess Anle felt that he needed a more comprehensive plan in the matter of destroying the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
And the tranquility of the night scene is the best entry point.
He could use Ye Jingxian to kill Ye Junfei, and after Ye Junfei's death, he could then find a way to seize the Pingnan Prince's forces.
Then Chu Mengsheng will lead his troops to massacre the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and only then will the Pingnan Prince's Mansion be completely destroyed.
Ye Jingxian was furious about Ye Junfei's escape. He asked Princess Anle, "Does Your Highness have any brilliant plan to kill Ye Junfei?"
Princess Anle smiled and said, "Logically speaking, I am an outsider and it is not appropriate for me to interfere in the affairs of your royal residence."
"It's just that Ye Junfei is going too far, and I really can't stand by and watch."
"It would be very simple for the Second Young Master to kill Ye Junfei!"
“Isn’t Ye Qingwan in the Second Young Master’s hands? The fact that he came to rescue Ye Qingwan after seeing the signal means that he cares about this younger sister very much.”
"Once Ye Junfei leaves the mountains, it should be no longer difficult for the Second Young Master to kill him, given his abilities."
Ye Jingxian praised Princess Anle: "The princess is so clever! I'll find a way to inform Ye Junfei and make him come out on his own."
Princess Anle smiled faintly: "Second Young Master, you flatter me."
Ye Jingxian immediately went to make arrangements for these matters, striving to kill Ye Junfei in one blow.
As soon as he left, Eunuch Yu asked, "Does the princess really intend to marry Ye Jingxian?"
Princess Anle's brows no longer held the charming look she had just had; instead, her eyes held a sharp edge.
He said slowly, "There's nothing wrong with marrying him. He's stupid, so he's easier to manipulate."
Eunuch Yu said softly, "He was groomed by the Prince of Pingnan as his successor. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be this stupid."
Princess Anle said calmly, "Of course he's not stupid. I just said what he wanted to do."
"He deliberately induced me to say those things in order to win my favor in a roundabout way."
Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "The princess has seen through his mind completely; he is nothing more than a pawn in her hands."
Princess Anle glanced at him: "Eunuch Yu, don't underestimate anyone."
"Although Ye Jingxian is not as smart as Ye Junfei, he is not stupid either."
"We need to strike the right balance in this process, so that he can do things properly for me."
The old eunuch laughed and said, "The princess is right."
Princess Anle's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she looked towards the mountains and forests: "Ye Junfei, Lin Xiuyan, let's see how you escape this time!"
This time, Ye Jingxian became the knife in his hand, and he used it very skillfully.
He suffered a great loss at the hands of Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, and he was determined to avenge this defeat no matter what.
Not to mention that Lin Xiuyan also knows his biggest secret, so he deserves to die even more!
After Ye Jingxian and Princess Anle parted ways, the anger and impulsiveness in his eyes immediately dissipated, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His guard, Guanchao, whispered, "Does the Second Young Master really intend to follow the Princess's orders and kill the Crown Prince?"
"Of course he must be killed!" Ye Jingxian said coldly, "Regardless of whether Princess Anle instigated him or not, Ye Junfei must die."
“I deliberately acted like I was easily swayed and impulsive in front of him, just to make him think that’s the kind of person I am.”
"That way, he'll think I'm easy to control, and that's why he'll marry me."
Guan Chao praised him, "The Second Young Master is indeed clever!"
Ye Jingxian chuckled and said, "As long as I kill Ye Junfei to vent Princess Anle's anger and let her see my abilities, she will naturally admire me from now on."
"Women always like strong men. Most of them are shallow and think they are smart."
Guan Chao laughed and said, "The second young master is extremely charming and will surely be able to bewitch Princess Anle."
Ye Jing chuckled and said, "Princess Anle grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she must be quite intelligent."
