"The Crown Princess doesn't like this method?"
"Of course I don't like it!"
“That’s true. Prime Minister Xia is diligent and loyal to the country. How could he have committed treason?” Song Wuxia shook her head, rejecting this method. She then said, “The second method is that the Crown Princess has violated one of the seven grounds for divorce. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to depose her, the whole country will pass the resolution.”
"The Seven Grounds for Divorce?"
"For example, if the Crown Princess were to have an affair, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the old emperor might issue an edict ordering the Crown Princess to divorce the Crown Prince."
"Maybe?"
He smiled and said, "Of course, it's also possible that the Crown Princess will be imprisoned in the Cold Palace and never be allowed to step out again."
Feng Guang thought of the Cold Palace she had accidentally wandered into some time ago. It was desolate and deserted, and it was truly terrifying. "I don't want to go to the Cold Palace! Don't you have any more reliable ideas?"
"That's the third way to put it."
"Tell me quickly!"
“The Crown Princess is terminally ill and feels that her days are numbered, so she requests to be divorced.” Song Wuxia’s thin lips curled up slightly with a faint smile. “However, I guess that given the Crown Prince’s sentimental and righteous character, he may not be willing to divorce the Crown Princess. In this case, the only option is for the Crown Princess to fake her death.”
"Fake death..."
"But the Crown Princess should think carefully about this method. If you fake your death, it means you'll have to abandon your high-ranking status as the daughter of a prime minister. Even if you regret it, your status will never be as noble as before." He was at least conscientious, explaining the pros and cons to her. Song Wuxia sighed, "Indeed, he's a good person after all..."
Being a good person once in a while doesn't seem so bad.
"Thinking about it this way..." Feng Guang stroked his chin and clapped his hands again, "What a great idea!"
Song Wuxia paused as she was about to touch the teacup.
Seeing him in a daze, Feng Guang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." He just hadn't expected that she would take his casual words seriously, and even have the intention to do so. For the first time, Song Wuxia realized that being too foolish could be a headache.
Feng Guang stared at him with wide eyes, "Then tell me, how should I implement this plan?"
"Well..." Song Wuxia looked at the woman sitting next to him, listening attentively, and felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He could imagine that if Prime Minister Xia Chao knew that he had instigated Xia Fengguang to fake his death and get a divorce, the old man would probably want to fight him to the death.
It's not that he has the virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, or that he doesn't want to deal with the Xia Dynasty. It's just that the Xia Dynasty is no pushover either. Before he achieves his goal, he doesn't want to break ties with the Xia Dynasty, as that would bring him some trouble. Although it wouldn't be fatal, trouble is trouble, and it would be a waste of time.
Feng Guang stared at him expectantly, but Song Wuxia's gaze wavered for the first time. He also realized for the first time that enjoying someone's adoration was not a good thing.
Fortunately, another person rushed in and came to his rescue. The person was a man in black. He knelt down and said, "My lord, I failed in my duty to protect you. Miss Bingqing has been captured by the villains."
Song Wuxia frowned her beautiful brows.
Feng Guang tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then innocently asked, "That Bingqing girl... is she your lover?"
The messenger trembled all over.
Song Wuxia's eyes twitched, then her smile grew even gentler. "Crown Princess, who taught you the word 'paramour'?"
