Chapter 216 Shadow, Eavesdropping
The eldest grandson Xuewei returned to her room feeling extremely ashamed and angry.
"Miss Changsun, it seems that this Prince Jing is not as reasonable as you thought."
"Instead, I'm extremely wary of you."
A dark shadow appeared silently in Changsun Xuewei's room.
The words were full of sarcasm.
Zhangsun Xuewei's face was as red as blood, but fortunately the darkness concealed everything and no one could see her expression.
"You insisted that I bring the Empress Dowager to this villa. How could they not have any complaints against me if I brought the Empress Dowager here who was suffering from smallpox?"
"Speaking of which, their response was really quick. Not only did they quickly confirm that the old witch had smallpox, they even quickly sealed off the entire villa."
The black shadow laughed.
"Chu Wuxian is definitely amazing, otherwise why would we spend so much time and effort planning this?"
"You didn't stick the infected thing on Chu Wuxian tonight. Could it be that you have softened your heart?"
The eldest grandson Xuewei clenched her fists subconsciously.
"How could I be soft-hearted?"
"Oh? I thought you still had feelings for him. After all, you rejected our Highness for him three years ago. Now that you are ready to accept our Highness, you should get rid of Chu Wuxun yourself. This is what you promised yourself, isn't it?"
Changsun Xuewei immediately thought of Chu Tianming.
Who would have thought that the man he rejected three years ago is now about to ascend to the throne.
Three years ago, her father asked her to reject Chu Tianming because he was not sure which of the princes would ascend the throne.
In the name of serving the Empress Dowager, he followed her to Mount Wutai to worship Buddha for three years.
The three years in Mount Wutai were truly extremely hard.
She was obviously just a girl in her teens, and she should have been enjoying her blooming age, wearing the most beautiful clothes, wearing the most beautiful jewelry, attending various banquets, and participating in various poetry readings.
Enjoy the dignity she deserves.
Become the true first daughter of Da Chu.
But all this was ruined because of the family.
Now her family wants her to marry Chu Tianming.
The reason is that the man actually received the full support of King Yong.
Their Changsun family has been a vassal of King Yong since ancient times. When Chu Tianming wanted her, the family immediately sent her to him eagerly.
It is impossible for Changsun Xuewei to have no resentment in her heart.
Fortunately, Chu Tianming still has her in his heart.
When he met her, he not only expressed his love for her, but also promised her that he would make her the ultimate queen.
As for Dugu Yanran, she is just a northern woman and is not worth mentioning at all.
But even so, Changsun Xuewei's heart was still filled with a glimmer of last hope.
That's why she agreed when Chu Tianming asked her to infect Chu Wuxian with the plague.
She wanted to see if Chu Wuxun's attitude towards her would change after three years?
If Chu Wuyan could like her, she would be willing to tell him the truth even if it meant betraying her family and giving up her position as queen.
But now it seems that Chu Wuxun has never had her in his eyes.
Seeing that Changsun Xuewei was slow to speak, the man in the shadow couldn't help but sneer.
I knew women were unreliable.
Then let him add the last straw to his eldest grandson Xuewei.
"Do you know that the girl you like, Chu Wuxeng, already has a crush on someone, the younger sister of the Jiang family, Jiang Yueyao?"
"Also, I'm not afraid to tell you one more piece of news. Not long ago, His Highness invited Jiang Yuehua, the elder sister of the Jiang family, to meet you alone. You don't necessarily have to be the queen."
The eldest grandson Xuewei clenched her fists instantly.
The Jiang sisters?
"Don't worry, I have never been soft-hearted."
"Today, Chu Wuxun was just too defensive against me, and I didn't find the opportunity to strike."
"But smallpox is a terminal disease. If I find an opportunity, I will definitely spread this smallpox to everyone in the villa."
"The people here are all children from the top families in the capital, and Princess Anle and the Empress Dowager, the two people Chu Yingrui cares about the most, are here."
"If something happens to the people here, not only will Chu Yingrui have to rush over to save this villa, but people in the capital will also be in a panic."
"When that time comes, Your Highness will be able to rise up easily."
"The epidemic must have been caused by a tyrant emperor. Your Highness can naturally overthrow the tyrant emperor and inherit the throne."
The shadow nodded.
"Just so you know."
"Your actions here are related to whether His Highness can force the emperor to abdicate legitimately. You must not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
The eldest grandson Xuewei's face turned cold.
"Chu Tianming and I are in a cooperative relationship, and I won't allow you to threaten me like this."
"You must remember that I am the future queen."
The shadow froze suddenly.
I was a little too proud of myself just now.
The woman in front of me really shouldn't be offended too harshly.
He immediately clasped his fists in salute.
"I have overstepped my authority. Your Majesty, please be careful in your actions."
As he spoke, the black shadow flipped over the window and flew out.
But what the shadow doesn't know is.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes were staring at him.
Chu Wuxun glanced to the side.
Xue Lang immediately took the order and followed the shadow silently.
Chu Wuxun took a deep look at Changsun Xuewei before leaving quietly.
The eldest grandson Xuewei's arrival was too strange.
From the moment he saw her, Chu Wuxun had already sensed that something was wrong.
So when Jiang Yueyao said that the smallpox incident must be isolated immediately and no one was allowed to spread.
Chu Wuxun immediately sealed off the entire villa, paying special attention to those who came with his eldest grandson Xuewei.
Among them, the monitoring of the eldest daughter, Sun Xuewei, was the most stringent.
As expected, Zhangsun Xuewei had other purposes for this trip.
Most importantly…
He actually heard the news that Chu Tianming was about to take action.
According to Jiang Yueyao's thoughts, Chu Tianming's action should be a few years later.
But I didn't expect it to be so early.
I think it was because Chu Tianming felt too much pressure, and at the same time he also realized what Chu Yingrui meant.
It was discovered that Chu Yingrui wanted to use Duodi to deplete the power of the vassal kings.
Knowing that if they continued like this, the power of the three princes would be increasingly depleted, they had no choice but to take the risk and act immediately.
In order to increase the success rate of the operation, the Empress Dowager was deliberately infected with smallpox.
And let the Empress Dowager live in Princess Anle's villa.
With the two noble ladies, the Empress Dowager and Princess Anle, infected with the disease, it would also threaten the children of so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
The news of the epidemic and the fact that so many nobles have been infected.
This would inevitably cause chaos in the capital, and would give them an opportunity to start an uprising.
I have to say that Chu Tianming and his group are quite good at planning.
Even in the current unfavorable situation, we must create the best conditions.
It's a pity that their plan has now been known to others.
