But... she hesitated.
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... that the Prince of Ye and we will definitely either have a falling out or fall out in the end. There can't be a better third outcome. So, could he be one of our trump cards?"
Furthermore, looking further ahead, with the King of Ye's current physical condition, he is simply incapable of leading the Ye Kingdom to take off. Could the young and vigorous Yuan Xingzhou be a new hope for the rise of the Ye Kingdom?
The lady's words shocked them both, but upon closer reflection, they seemed to make sense. However, "Madam...didn't you just say that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to rebel?"
Zheng Quchi immediately retorted, "Why would he rebel?"
As soon as she spoke, she realized she had spoken too loudly. She glanced into the room, waved, and gestured for them to leave the medicine hut first, and talk again when they were a little further away.
Once they reached a place where they could talk in peace, Zheng Quchi said to them, "Why do you think His Highness rebelled? It must be because the Prince of Ye did something that forced him to give up even being the Crown Prince. He quietly fled the palace with a group of armed guards. Because of hatred and despair, he wanted revenge. He wanted to destroy the Prince of Ye's country to vent his hatred."
They saw that the lady spoke eloquently and passionately, as if she had personally experienced it.
Wei Yao nodded, agreeing with her deduction: "Madam, do you think it's appropriate to let someone filled with nothing but hatred replace the King of Ye as the supreme ruler of Ye?"
This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Quchi hesitated.
"He does have many flaws. He is vindictive, melancholic, and full of negative emotions. Moreover, after he has taken his revenge, he usually has no will to live."
She could sense that he wasn't particularly attached to living, since he only lived for one thing—revenge: "I think that if we set a new life goal for him and guide him, there's still a possibility of manipulating things."
Wang Zebang understood what she meant: "Does Madam intend to side with the eldest prince?"
“We definitely can’t side with the Prince of Ye, but remaining neutral would put us in a passive position. If we don’t plan ahead, we’ll be caught off guard when the crisis really approaches.” Her thinking was simple: she didn’t want to stand still and take a beating.
