Chapter 223: Telling each other their true feelings? The men's plans
"This..." Ling Buyi was shocked and speechless for a long time.
Shao Shang, seeing his reaction, understood: "You seem to be on good terms with the Crown Prince and spend all day with him, but everything that happened ultimately led to the inevitable change of the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Princess was imprisoned in the cold palace, his brother-in-law Sun Sheng was demoted to a commoner, Wen Xiujun was imprisoned, and Wang Chun and his son Wang Long were exiled to Jingzhou. The Xuan family lineage was extinct, and all the relatives who had used the Crown Prince's name to cause trouble were eliminated."
"Since the fall of Grand Tutor Lou, the Crown Prince's important officials have been replaced numerous times. I'm afraid they are all the Third Prince's men now. He no longer has a place in the court. The Third Prince may seem to be holding back, but in reality, he is extremely powerful. Even if the Crown Prince discovers something is wrong now, it's too late to do anything."
This time Ling Buyi didn't refute. He hadn't expected that Shao Shang, who was always impulsive, would actually say such words one day. He lowered his head and said, "If you want to cultivate precious and authentic products, you need to remove the weeds around you first."
Seeing him admit it, Shao Shang didn't feel as sad as she had imagined. She touched the man's face and said, "Zisheng, it's because I understand you that I realize you don't disregard the Crown Prince. You've been with him for a few months and have taken over all the affairs of the Eastern Palace. If you really wanted revenge, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."
Ling Buyi nodded and looked into Shao Shang's eyes. "Ziduan and Zhaojun will pave the way for the Crown Prince to leave. I just need to ensure that he leaves the Eastern Palace and the court safely. This is the best outcome I can think of for him."
"What about you? Everyone has an ending, what is yours?" Shao Shang couldn't help but shed tears. Ling Buyi was still unwilling to tell him his true identity, so there must be some big move.
As the two were embracing, someone from the Eastern Palace arrived with a message, saying that the Crown Prince had requested General Ling go to the Eastern Palace. In a sheltered corner, Wen Ziduan reached out to touch He Zhaojun's forehead; she was already fast asleep.
"I didn't know you were so quiet and lovely when you were asleep." Wen Ziduan wanted to pinch her cheek, but was afraid of waking He Zhaojun up, so he tiptoed and led her back to the carriage.
When He Zhaojun woke up, it was almost 3 p.m. She felt completely relaxed and her fatigue had vanished. Suddenly remembering why, she couldn't help but curl up in the bed again, wrapped in the quilt.
"Hmm? It doesn't look like the quilt from the side hall?" The quilt was silky soft and very thick, obviously newly bought before winter. "It smells like the third prince." He Zhaojun muttered, sniffing around like a puppy.
She turned over and sat up, and it took her two seconds to realize that she was only in the Third Prince's house, and she was alone on the big bed, while Wen Ziduan was reading a book in the warm room opposite the bed.
At that time, I came to comfort Wen Ziduan and said that the bedding was too thin and I would be cold when I got married. I also mocked him and asked him if he planned to let her sleep in the warm room after they got married. I didn't expect that today, the situation would be completely reversed.
Seeing that the person finally opened her eyes, Wen Ziduan put down the bamboo slips, stood up, walked across the room, and sat down on the edge of the bed again: "Are you awake?" He didn't go anywhere this afternoon. When he was reading in the room, he always caught a glimpse of He Zhaojun sleeping soundly, and a sweet feeling arose in his heart, making him linger.
He Zhaojun hummed, her heart beating fast. Would he have seen her just now curled up in the quilt, moving around like a caterpillar?
"Listen to my explanation... I just feel that the quilt is very comfortable, not for any other reason." He Zhaojun pouted, trying to save face.
Wen Ziduan smiled and nodded: "Yeah." He had an expression that said "It depends on how you make things worse." He Zhaojun shut up in frustration.
Fortunately, a figure appeared outside, and He Zhaojun quickly changed the subject: "Someone is looking for you! There must be news from the Supreme Court."
