Chapter 500: Opportunity

The gazes that were originally fixed on the prince were distracted, and the pool of water was completely disturbed.

The innocent unlucky ones who were dragged into the case were in a state of panic all day long, and those who had connections began to investigate on their own.

In order to clear himself of suspicion, he was no less proactive than the Dali Temple.

Bei Jingchu was now relaxed, but as clues gradually emerged, someone became anxious.

Especially after hearing that the witness had been arrested.

The next day, Bei Jingchu received news that the person who arranged the assassination of King Qin was the Fifth Prince.

But it was not what the witness confessed, but the Fifth Prince lost his composure and fell into someone else's trap.

He wanted to silence the mouth overnight, but ended up capturing both the person and the victim.

In the end, he also confessed. In his opinion, as long as King Qin dies, the next person the family should support will be him.

He has been following behind the King of Qin not to be his younger brother, but to take advantage of the situation to establish connections with the aristocratic families.

Now that we are prepared, we no longer need that brother who is blocking our way.

Bei Jingchu was already too lazy to despise his brain; it was a habit she had developed since she was a child.

As a matter of course, the fifth prince was imprisoned for life.

He did have the same honor as Bei Jingyu and was allowed to move into his own residence early, but the reason was that the emperor did not want to lock him up in the palace because it would be too unsightly.

I heard that when he was taken there, no one visited him except his biological mother, Concubine Zhu.

......

After this, the capital city finally became truly peaceful for a while.

Even when she woke up from her drunken dream at the age of seventeen, she was still not ready to take the plunge.

Although he said that the sooner he died, the sooner he would be reborn, deep down he wanted to prepare a little longer.

She is waiting for an opportunity.

If you can't wait, you will have to wait until your money and food are almost gone, and then you will have to burn your boats.

Bei Jingchu admitted that she was avoiding the day when her father and daughter would meet in battle.

But she was running away, while some people were not running away.

The spies in the palace reported that the emperor had already written an edict to depose the crown prince.

Her power and reputation are indeed much weaker now than they were two years ago, almost to nothing.

There seemed to be no obstacle to deposing the crown prince now, and he only needed a legitimate opportunity to do so.

After receiving the news, Bei Jingchu smiled miserably and sat paralyzed in the chair for a long time. It was ridiculous that she still had hope when Yu'er was assassinated.

He thought that as long as he did not threaten the emperor's authority, he could survive until the time when his father died and his son succeeded him.

It turns out that at that time, the resistance to abolishing her was greater than it is now.

She finally made up her mind.

They are all waiting for their chance.

Since you don't have the opportunity, create it.

This autumn hunt is the right time.

......

Bei Jingchu was planning the autumn hunt, and at the same time Zhou Huanjiu's wedding date had arrived.

Earlier, she and Yin Chu were arranged to marry by the Queen Mother.

Bei Jingchu was a little surprised, but just felt regretful.

The person is gone, and the living must continue to live.

Instead, Zhou Huan came to her with red eyes and asked her if he would blame her for being unfaithful.

Bei Jingchu felt a little helpless.

She never gives out chastity arches to anyone, so why would she be unhappy about this?

She comforted her: "Even if you observe mourning, it will only be three years."

"It's been almost three years. It's your own marriage, so you should make the decision yourself. If you like, then get married. It's no big deal."

Zhou Huanjiu lowered her eyelids and whispered softly: "Actually, I don't know whether I like him or not. I'm just too lonely."

"After my mother passed away, I found it was so lonely not having someone to spend my whole life with."

"He showed up at the right time, and I just thought I'd marry him."
