Chapter 123: Words of a tiger and a wolf! I heard you also want to keep a staff?
The moment the two of them got into the car, the beauty just now suddenly disappeared without a trace. Wen Ziduan knew that He Zhaojun must have something to say, so he signaled that they could begin.
Then He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Do you believe everything I said?"
"Have you learned to keep me in suspense?" Wen Ziduan gently pinched the soft flesh on He Zhaojun's cheek. He had long admired this part of her face; it was firm and soft, like a peach from a distance, and he wanted to try it out.
Because He Zhaojun was cold to him before and he had no chance, today he thought they had reconciled and started to take action.
"Mmmmm... I say." He Zhaojun was pinched so hard that she almost drooled. She quickly covered her mouth and rolled her eyes. "If Wen Xiujun's son Wang Long was captured by bandits, the Crown Prince would undoubtedly try to whitewash the situation, and would surely be reprimanded by Your Majesty. If someone in the court took this opportunity to propose a change of crown prince, what would you do?"
Changing the crown prince? Wen Ziduan looked serious, frowning.
"The Crown Prince is too kind and kind-hearted, but not decisive enough, and is unsuitable to be the heir apparent. As for replacing the heir, it would be a good thing for him and the world."
He Zhaojun nodded. "If you're worried that Empress Xuan will be worried once the issue of changing the crown prince is raised, I will do my best to comfort her. You don't have to worry about it, and you can go for it."
Wen Ziduan stared into He Zhaojun's eyes and said, "The deposed crown prince who was replaced as the crown prince never had a good ending. Aren't you afraid that I will kill him?"
He Zhaojun sighed and thought carefully: "You always pretend to be fierce, but even the concubines in the mansion know that even if they offend you, they will not be killed. It shows that you have a kind heart. This allows them to take the risk, isn't it?"
Wen Ziduan covered his face. Why did he turn to concubines again? Why did this man have such a problem with these concubines?
"A concubine can't cause much trouble. It doesn't matter whether I kill her or not. But if she is deposed as the crown prince one day, that may not be the case." Wen Ziduan threw the question to He Zhaojun again.
He Zhaojun muttered, "If you are truly cruel and bloodthirsty, it only means that our dynasty has no available princes, so we chose you. Otherwise, if we go to the other extreme, wouldn't you be just as incompetent as the current crown prince?"
Wen Ziduan was silent for a moment, not responding to her question. Instead, he asked, "Then tell me, how can we comfort Empress Xuan? No matter what, you can't stop or conceal the news of the crown prince's change."
"Of course. So all I can do is ask Empress Xuan's Fifth Princess to stay out of trouble during this period, lest she become overly worried and fall ill."
Wen Zi nodded and asked, "Could you elaborate?"
"Did you know that the Fifth Princess has many staff members in her mansion? Thinking about it this way, she is truly different. Just like men, they can have many concubines, and the world doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. But as a princess, she would be criticized for having a few staff members."
Wen Ziduan coughed and said that he would send all the concubines away when he returned, so that He Zhaojun would not bring it up intentionally or unintentionally. Although she seemed not to care, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Oh... I'm not saying it's wrong for you to have concubines. I just have some respect for her courage to challenge worldly perceptions. Hehehe, if I were a princess, I would definitely recruit outstanding men under my command and spend the whole day reciting poems with them. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!"
Wen Ziduan reached out and clamped He Zhaojun's jaw, forcing her to lift her head and look at him. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and pulled out a somewhat devilish smile: "You can give it a try and see if I will kill them all."
Gu Guan, standing outside, was already sweating profusely. What on earth were the two of them talking about? Changing the crown prince? Should the deposed crown prince be executed? Did the young lady need to keep a staff? Was this something he could listen to for free?
