Jingying was covered in cold sweat, as if walking on thin ice:
"Ninth Prince, please..."
"Thank you." Chu Li gently stroked the white veil at the corner of her eyes, and with the help of the palace maids, she left Yaohuatai with her back straight.
Gudong——
Bai Jinyi's throat rolled, and he swallowed hard, looking at the man with half of his face covered in blood, his cheek contours as sharp as a knife, and an extremely sinister look.
"A-Achi... Let me bandage you up... I'm afraid this wound will need some stitches..."
Oh my God!
Who would have thought that the weak little nephew who was lying in bed with a fever due to Achi a few days ago was actually a little wild cat.
Judging from the injuries, I'm afraid he was killed.
It's a bit of personal grudge!
Chu Dichi sat there for a long time, his eyes as dark as a poisonous snake that could capture a person's soul, and suddenly he laughed.
Are you crazy?
Is Achi crazy?
Got a smashed head?
"Master," the startled figure quickly turned back, "when the Ninth Prince left the Regent's Palace, he did not return to the palace. Judging from his posture, he seemed to be heading towards the direction of the Minister of War's Palace."
Xiao Yexing picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Minister Yang of the Ministry of War was secretly promoted by Duke Fang. Although he is young, he has great skills and is very ruthless."
"She's going there alone, which is no different from seeking death."
Chu Di said slowly, "If you die outside, I will be relieved."
-
Fengyi Palace.
The maid came back trembling with fear, and was still in shock when she knelt on the ground to answer.
The Queen looked at her and said, "You mean, the Regent did not drink the wine I gave him?"
The maid didn't dare to offend either side, so she could only answer cautiously and compromise:
"The Regent refused to drink and disobeyed the order. The Ninth Prince argued with him for a few words and then smashed his head with a wine jug."
The Queen frowned:
"Didn't they say that the Regent rushed into the fire and saved the Ninth Prince? Don't they have a good relationship?"
"I see they are on edge, like enemies. How can this be good?" the maid said, "You are the Ninth Prince's mother. The Ninth Prince will definitely side with you."
The queen's brows did not relax.
The Ninth Prince actually injured the Regent.
I thought they had a very good relationship.
Whatever.
Just look for another opportunity.
"Back off."
"Yes." The palace maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been pardoned.
Chang Pei stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "My Lady, I think the Regent is kind to the Ninth Prince only out of the pity of an elder for a younger one. How could a man like him be on good terms with the royal family?"
The Queen said, "It is precisely people like this who are difficult to deal with because you cannot find their soft spots or weaknesses."
In recent years, the emperor has been slow to appoint a crown prince.
In everyone's mind, there is a unanimous belief: whoever can get rid of the regent, the greatest threat to the emperor, will be able to succeed the throne.
In the entire royal family, except Chu Li, no one wants to kill the Regent.
"I heard that the regent brought a woman back to the city at night a few days ago. Your Majesty, why not start from here?"
Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women.
If we find this woman, are we still worried that we won’t be able to get rid of the Regent?
"Indeed, send some people to keep an eye on the Regent's Palace."
"yes."
Outside Fengyi Palace.
The palace maid retreated, her legs weak with fear, and went to the Regent's Palace, where she nearly lost her life.
"Sister Chunxiang, why do you look so bad?" A little palace maid went with her to the Imperial Household Department to get something.
Chunxiang sighed, shook her head, and was speechless.
"You left the palace with the Ninth Prince, why didn't you come back with 'him'?"
Chunxiang said, "We should have returned to the palace together, but the Ninth Prince suddenly said he wanted to go to the Minister of War's residence. How could I follow him to a place like that? So I went back first."
“Oh, I see.”
As the two talked, they walked towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this news was delivered to Chu Jinglin by a young eunuch:
"What did you say?!"
Chu Jinglin couldn't sit still any longer.
The Ninth Prince suddenly went to the Minister of War’s residence?
Why is there anything wrong?
Could it be that...
During the day, Chu Li had already known about his conspiracy with Minister Yang? What if his father knew about it...
This damn Chu Li, I let him go during the day, but he dared to come and seek death!
-
At this moment, in the residence of the Minister of War.
The sudden arrival of the Ninth Prince shocked Minister Yang and surprised Yang An. In short, when Chu Li sat there, both the couple felt panicked.
Chu Li had a veil tied around her eyes, and as if she saw nothing, she spoke to herself:
"Is Young Master Yang's condition getting better?"
Yang An first looked at Minister Yang before she dared to reply cautiously, "Thank you for your concern, Ninth Prince. Qi'er just caught a cold and is already well after taking medicine."
Minister Yang was worried.
The Ninth Prince suddenly came to the mansion. It couldn't be just for a child, right?
Moreover, when he was plotting with the Seventh Prince in broad daylight, he was caught by the Ninth Prince... The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
"I like children very much." said Chu Li.
"ah?"
"I am the youngest in the royal family. My brothers are older than me. It's rare to see children, so I can't help but love them."
Minister Yang said immediately:
"It is a blessing for Qi'er to be cared for by the Ninth Prince. I will go and bring Qi'er here right away."
"good."
Minister Yang walked out. Outside, the butler hurried over and said in a low voice, "Sir, the Seventh Prince is here."
"hiss!"
What on earth is going on tonight?
Could it be that the Seventh Prince heard the news and rushed over?
What on earth is the Ninth Prince here for?
Minister Yang was confused and sent a nanny to pick up Qi'er while he hurried to meet the Seventh Prince. However, within a moment, the nanny ran into the living room with an anxious look on her face and said in a panic:
"Madam, something bad has happened! The young master seems to be ill. He is crying and doesn't want us to hold him."
Yang An's expression became anxious, "Why are you sick again?"
"I don't know."
"Mrs. Yang, please go and take a look first. I'll just sit for a while." Chu Li said.
Yang An's face was full of apology and she felt really sorry, but she was worried about her son, so she bowed and hurried out. However, as soon as she entered the yard, she ran into Minister Yang who had been standing there waiting for her.
"Husband?"
Minister Yang turned around and said, "Think of a way to trick the Ninth Prince into your room."
Yang An's eyes widened in shock:
“W-what?”
"The Ninth Prince came to the mansion suddenly, he must have bad intentions. During the day, he caught me having a secret conversation with the Seventh Prince. Instead of burying hidden dangers and living in anxiety every day, it is better to hold the initiative in my hands. Only by sacrificing you can I protect my career." Minister Yang said in a deep voice.
He wanted Yang An to seduce the Ninth Prince and get hold of something against him.
It would be even better if we could take the opportunity to get rid of the Ninth Prince.
Yang An's face turned pale with fear: "But, but I am your wife, Qi'er's mother..."
"If something happens to me, do you think you and Qi'er will have a good ending? Baolian, even if you don't care about me, you should think about Qi'er. Do you want him to have a father who is a criminal when he grows up?"
"What if Qi'er grows up and finds out that I did this..."
"Don't worry, Baolian."
Minister Yang held her shoulders and comforted her, "I won't despise you."
