Chapter 94: Love between men and women is indeed a stumbling block
"That's called love between man and woman, how can it be so unbearable to hear it in your mouth?"
Ling Chenyi faced Xiao Yuan's cold gaze, grabbed Li Huaiyan and held him under his armpit.
After the Shen family's carriage drove away, he took the two noisy people back to the study.
"Now that Concubine Ning has been banished to the cold palace, this is the best time for us to take action." Ling Chenyi closed the door and his expression became solemn again.
Li Huaiyan nodded and said, "This is indeed the best time to take revenge."
This was a decision the three of them had already discussed, but the man half-leaning on the desk didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time without a response, the two looked up at him, "What's wrong with you?"
The opportunity for revenge is right before your eyes, why are you still hesitating?
"Wait a little longer." His voice was a little hoarse. "The Shen family's father and son are still in the palace. If Concubine Ning dies at this time, father will never let them out alive."
Li Huaiyan almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"Do you know what you are saying? If you miss this opportunity and wait for the emperor to take action, the second prince and Concubine Ning will turn the tables. Will you still be able to avenge yourself?"
"Stop talking." Ling Chenyi grabbed Li Huaiyan.
Xiao Yuan sat in the armchair with his back slightly bent and his forehead supported by his hands. No one could see his expression clearly.
Ling Chenyi could understand his dilemma, "Brother Changhe has made a lot of efforts. We can't ignore it even for moral reasons."
Li Huaiyan frowned, "Why are you so confused? General Shen holds the military power. The emperor will not act rashly against the Shen family father and son. At most, they will be imprisoned. Once Concubine Ning dies, we will find a way to save them!"
"But this is not safe." Ling Chenyi knew it of course, but Xiao Yuan couldn't afford to lose the chance of gambling Ning Fei's life on the lives of Shen's father and son! !
The love between men and women is indeed a stumbling block to great undertakings. Once it appears, it is like a soul rope tied around the neck, which can cut a person's throat at any time.
Li Huaiyan was not giving up. "The emperor loves you verbally, but he has been indulging the second prince's power to grow stronger. This time he is just angry. If he comes to his senses and feels reluctant to part with Concubine Ning and her son, we will lose the initiative again."
The sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice, and the dust floated and swayed in the light. The heater prepared for Shen Anan was still crackling, and the cup of warm tea on the desk did not move.
A faint trace of lip balm remained on the rim of the cup, which was a bit dazzling.
The silence in the room was unbearable and depressing.
He reached out and brought the cup of tea to himself, imitating her by placing his hand on it.
The tea had gone cold and could no longer keep me warm, but the words I had promised that person were still fresh in my mind.
"Of course I have to avenge my mother's murder." His eyes were dark and cruel, but then turned calm. "But now, the Shen family is just as important to me."
There are many opportunities for revenge, but once a person dies, he can never live again.
"You said the same thing last time at the Second Prince's Mansion." Li Huaiyan knew that he could not change his decision, but he still felt a little resentful.
The woman really slowed down the speed of drawing the sword, he was absolutely right.
"The most urgent task should be to bring the Shen father and son out of the palace first." Ling Chenyi said after a long silence.
"That's easy to say." Li Huaiyan sighed, "Now that the palace gates are closed, our people can't even get the news out, how can we save people?"
Xiao Yuan stood up and told Qing'an to prepare clothes and a soft sword.
"What are you going to do?" Ling Chenyi couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and stopped him.
"You are crazy. The palace must be heavily guarded at this time. Are you going to die?" Li Huaiyan said.
Qing'an was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he did not do as Xiao Yuan said.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Xiao Yuan glanced at the two of them, his cold brows hiding a hint of frost.
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly. As long as we make sure that the Shen family father and son are safe, we will find a way to do the rest."
Ling Chenyi knew that it was not as easy as Xiao Yuan said. "With our preparations over the years, it is easy to enter the palace, but the hard part is how you can get out of here safely."
Any disturbance in the palace must be controlled by the emperor. Not only were the secret agents who had been planted in the palace with great difficulty over the years uprooted, but the prince's sneaking into the deep palace was a serious crime of treason.
If the emperor is cruel, the palace wall will be Xiao Yuan's burial place.
"Unless... the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Shen family are of the same blood and resist the imperial power!!!"
"You are all crazy." Li Huaiyan was incredulous, "Ling Chenyi, you let Xiao Yuan kill the king and seize the throne?"
That would bring him eternal infamy. Even if he ascended the throne, it would not be legitimate, so how could he command his ministers?
Ling Chenyi was helpless, "This is the only solution."
"Master." Qingfeng came in excitedly, "The Shen family's father and son have left the palace, safe and sound."
Li Huaiyan and Ling Chenyi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and fell back into their chairs as if exhausted.
"Have you heard any news?" Xiao Yuan asked immediately.
"No, the palace is heavily guarded. Our people dare not act rashly, for fear of being punished by the emperor."
"Have someone guard it. If there is any news, report it to me immediately."
Qingfeng walked away quickly, and Li Huaiyan said, "Now that the Shen family's father and son have successfully left the palace, can we take Concubine Ning's life?"
"I will go there in person in two days." Xiao Yuan's eyes were filled with endless coldness. "She is the only one who knows the details of that year."
Ling Chenyi pursed his lips, "Do you still doubt the emperor?"
"I don't know." He flipped through the thick documents piled on the desk.
He didn't want to doubt him, but the Qi family was a thorn in his side that he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible.
