Chapter 3 The Strategist
Prince Ning: !!!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Something came up and you can't come?"
He's not stupid; he knows that's just an excuse. They simply don't want to come.
Prince Ning was furious at the three incompetent men standing before him and roared, "Get out! All of you, get out of here!"
The three men exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Yes, Your Highness, we'll leave right away..."
Then, the three men who came left, quickly running off to join the other side.
The Prince of Ning's eyes were filled with coldness.
He seemed to know why they weren't coming.
Because he repeatedly saved Princess Chang Le, who was in the Crown Prince's camp.
Therefore, they felt he was irrational and decided not to support him...
Others want it too, they want the country too.
If he cannot protect and win the woman he loves, what use is this empire?
Moreover, who says you can't have both?
Now, Chang Le's heart is slowly leaning towards him, and given time, she will definitely fall in love with him.
As for those who didn't come...
He needs to find a way to get them to continue supporting him.
They supported him, and if they support others, they won't be given important positions.
If they were smart, they would know what to do.
As for Chang Le, her father supports the Crown Prince, so it's normal for them to be worried. However, he won't push her away.
Chang Le is innocent and kind. She is herself, and her father is her father. He saved her life, and she will not help her father to deal with him.
To reassure the ministers and gain their support, he told them that he was merely using Chang Le to his advantage, intending to use her against the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Dingbei—a scheme within a scheme…
For the sake of their grand plan, they wouldn't tell Chang Le.
Chang Le doesn't know, so it won't affect his relationship with her.
Even if she finds out, it's okay; he can explain the truth to her.
As for those ministers, it's not too late to deal with them after he successfully assumes the position...
Zhang Hui felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the murderous intent in Prince Ning's eyes.
The Marquis of Dingbei's residence
When the Marquis of Dingbei saw Princess Chang Le return, he didn't ask where she had been. He had someone serve her a cup of tea and watched her drink it himself.
A fleeting smile crossed his eyes.
Princess Chang Le's tea was poisoned. The antidote is very rare, consisting of three herbs, and is only available in the Crown Prince's residence.
Since Prince Ning likes Chang Le so much, he would probably do anything for her...
Three days later
That day, the Crown Prince saw the Imperial Advisor standing with a woman in a red dress, and his eyes flickered.
He heard that this person was the Imperial Preceptor's junior sister and was now living in the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Having someone you care about means you have a weakness.
The Imperial Advisor was someone the Emperor trusted, making it the easiest position for him to harm the Emperor.
The crown prince didn't go over to disturb them, and turned to leave...
After he left, Bai Yan and Luo Xi simultaneously turned to look in the direction the Crown Prince had gone, their eyes extremely cold.
Luo Xi said with disdain, "Your eyes are like those of a venomous snake, so annoying."
She asked, puzzled, "How could the Emperor make someone like him the Crown Prince?"
Bai Yan said meaningfully, "He's just the crown prince, not the future emperor."
Luo Xi: "...That's true."
"Senior brother, he's got his eye on me."
Bai Yan: "Don't worry, he won't have a chance."
