"In that case, Your Highness, why not sit back and watch the tigers fight, and then reap the benefits in the end?"
Su Wanshi said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Churen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new way of thinking.
"Wanshi, you really enlightened me! I'm currently disliked by my father and it's not the right time for me to step forward. One of them has a secure position, and the other is trying to seize my power. Let them fight it out!"
"However, this struggle may require some effort from Your Highness, since it is necessary to ignite their conflict first."
Su Wanshi offered another suggestion.
"A contradiction? Let me think about that."
Xiao Churen fell into deep thought.
Although Prince Xiao may have this thought, he hasn't made it public or taken any action that directly confronts the Crown Prince.
He must ignite a battle between the two of them so that they can have a proper fight.
"Your Highness, I think it would be better to do this..."
Seeing that Xiao Churen hadn't come up with a solution after a long time, Su Wanshi shared her thoughts with him.
Xiao Churen listened with some doubt, "Is your method really feasible?"
“Your Highness, my judgment is infallible. Prince Xiao cares deeply about Princess Xiao’s sworn sister, and Chu Yun has indeed had a grudge against the Crown Princess. By targeting them, we can surely provoke Prince Xiao and the Crown Prince into conflict.”
Su Wanshi said confidently.
Through these few encounters, her keen sixth sense detected that Xiao Wang's sworn sister was no ordinary person.
After she was driven out of the manor that day, she did not leave immediately. She saw Xiao Wang carrying his injured sworn sister out from outside. His anxious expression made her realize that there was no innocent relationship between them.
If the conflict between the Crown Princess and Chu Yun can be amplified, it will eventually lead to Prince Xiao's intervention, thus putting him in direct confrontation with the Crown Prince.
Then the King of Chu could watch them fight like the snipe and the clam and reap the benefits.
After some hesitation, Xiao Churen finally agreed to Su Wanshi's method after being persuaded by her.
A few days later, Chu Yun's injuries had almost healed, and the bite wound on his waist had scabbed over.
She had been cooped up in Prince Xiao's mansion for several days, so she decided to go out for a walk.
Originally, she went to find Chu Yan and wanted to go with her, but Chu Yan declined, saying she had something to do.
So she had to go shopping by herself with a few maids.
Just as she was seriously injured, Prince Xiao secretly gave her a lot of silver as a consolation.
Chu Yun had just stepped off the carriage and was about to enter a jewelry shop when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back and then fainted.
"Ah! Girl---"
The maid tried to scream, but was struck on the back and fainted.
When Chu Yun woke up, he found himself bound and thrown into a dilapidated temple.
There were two or three men standing in front of me, and a woman with her face covered.
"Miss Chu, don't think I don't know you're trying to seduce Prince Xiao. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you vixen, and show you the consequences of ruining other people's relationships!"
The woman's cold, sharp voice rang out, carrying a hint of familiarity.
Who are you? What have I done to offend you?
Chu Yun said in horror.
"Ha, I'm here to avenge Yan'er! Yan'er is kind and won't mess with you, but I'm different! Today I'll show you what happens when you steal Yan'er's man!"
The woman sneered and then ordered the two men to take the whips and walk towards Chu Yun.
"No, don't come any closer! I really didn't seduce Prince Xiao. I'm Princess Xiao's sister! Please don't do this!"
Chu Yun was so frightened that she shrank back.
Snap!
Several sharp cracks of whips tore through the air, delivering a beating to Chu Yun.
Chu Yun's scabbed wounds were reopened, causing her to writhe on the ground in pain.
After being whipped about a dozen times, the woman and her entourage disappeared into the dilapidated temple.
Not long after, Chu Yun's two maids found the dilapidated temple with the help of someone else's deliberate guidance.
"What happened? Who did this?"
After Chu Yun was sent back to Prince Xiao's residence, Prince Xiao returned from court and saw Chu Yun injured like this, and asked angrily.
"Waaah... Brother-in-law, a woman kidnapped me. She said I seduced you and wanted to avenge my sister. Waaah... My sister isn't like that. Please don't misunderstand her."
Chu Yun cried, tears streaming down her face.
"What? It's related to Yan'er?"
Upon hearing this, King Xiao exclaimed in surprise and frowned in confusion.
Just then, Chu Yan arrived after hearing the news and overheard Prince Xiao's words.
Suddenly, a chill ran through her.
"Does Your Highness think I did it?"
Chu Yan walked in through the door with a cold expression.
"Yan'er, you misunderstand. That's not what I meant. It was Yun'er who said that the person who hit her was saying it was to avenge you."
King Xiao quickly explained.
"Sister, we're not talking about you. You probably didn't know your friend would do such a thing. The Crown Princess probably did it behind your back too."
When Chu Yun saw Chu Yan come in, he quickly explained.
It turns out that she wanted to play the victim in front of Prince Xiao, making him misunderstand that it was because Chu Yan was jealous and was working with the Crown Princess to hurt her, so that Prince Xiao would dislike Chu Yan even more.
Not wanting Chu Yan to overhear, she could only shift the blame onto the Crown Princess.
However, Chu Yan became even angrier upon hearing this.
"What evidence do you have to prove that the Crown Princess did it? Yoon-ah, is this how you frame someone so easily?"
"Sister, the person who hit me was a woman. Although she was masked, her voice sounded like that of the Crown Princess. Moreover, she kept questioning my relationship with my brother-in-law."
She told me to stay away from my brother-in-law, and that she was going to teach me a lesson on behalf of my sister. The only person who'd ever misunderstood my relationship with my brother-in-law like that before was the Crown Princess! And it seems my sister only has the Crown Princess as a friend in the capital…”
Chu Yun said aggrievedly, lowering her head to wipe away her tears.
“Luo’er is not that kind of person, don’t wrong her.”
Chu Yan still didn't believe Chu Yun's words, but Prince Xiao, who was standing to the side, did.
He recalled the first time he met the Crown Princess, when she made sarcastic remarks implying that his relationship with Chu Yun was not normal, and that she was the one who ruined the last hunt, causing Chu Yun to get injured.
From this perspective, it is indeed possible that the Crown Princess would do such a thing.
“Yan’er, Yun’er is your sister, she would never talk nonsense. The Crown Princess really went too far this time. As the older sister, you didn’t take care of your younger sister, so as her brother-in-law, I will definitely seek justice for her this time!”
King Xiao reprimanded Chu Yan with a cold face.
What do you want?
Chu Yan looked at Prince Xiao uneasily, fearing that he would harm Su Liluo in retaliation.
"Don't worry, out of respect for her being your friend, I won't harm her, but I will make her come and apologize to Yun'er in person! I'll go to the Crown Prince's residence to find them right now!"
After saying this, Prince Xiao immediately turned and left, ordering someone to arrange a carriage to go to the Crown Prince's residence.
This time, the Crown Princess has gone far too far in a blatant act!
"You have no evidence at all, and Yoona didn't even see his face. This might be a setup to frame you!"
Chu Yan shouted as she watched Xiao Wang's retreating figure, and then immediately chased after him.
