765 Intelligence, report the news that I came to Xiling
Concubine Yu was born in poverty. She was a quiet, weak and sickly beauty. She always looked like she was being persecuted and wronged.
Concubine Yu had no help at the court. Although she gave birth to a prince and a princess, she was just a little beauty. But after Xiling Tianyu was deposed, her son was most likely to become the crown prince.
In the following years, no princes or princesses were born in the Xiling royal family. Even if a powerful concubine occasionally became pregnant with a dragon seed, it was extremely difficult for the child to be born, and if born, the child would die young.
Xiling Tianlei became the only healthy prince of the Xiling royal family. Therefore, without any competitors, he was made the crown prince, and Yu Meiren was also made the imperial concubine because of her son's status, becoming the second person in the harem.
The Xiling royal family hadn't had any princes born in recent years. If he said it had nothing to do with Concubine Yu, even the Ninth Prince wouldn't believe it. His move wasn't a frame-up, it was just a chance for the Queen to find evidence that Concubine Yu was causing chaos in the harem. After all...
No emperor can tolerate his woman killing his children. As long as the queen finds evidence, Concubine Yu's fate can be predicted. By then, even if Xiling Tianlei is the prince, he will be despised by the emperor of Xiling for having such a vicious mother. By then...
Whether he can maintain his position as crown prince remains a question.
As for why we are taking action now, the reason is simple, because now is the best time.
Before, Xiling Tianyu had been sitting in a wheelchair. Even if the true identity of Concubine Yu was revealed, the Emperor of Xiling would not do anything to Concubine Yu for the sake of Xiling's kingdom, let alone take action against Xiling Tianlei. But now it is different.
Xiling Tianyu can walk now, and he is no different from a normal person. The prosthesis Feng Qingchen installed on him looks no different from normal skin. If it is not specifically stated, no one would know that Xiling Tianyu is wearing a prosthesis.
Such a Xiling Tianyu is qualified to inherit the throne. Coupled with the power of the Queen in the court, it is not impossible to depose Xiling Tianlei and replace Xiling Tianyu.
No matter how powerful Concubine Yu is, her power is limited to the harem. No matter how smart Xiling Tianlei is, in these few years, and considering that Emperor Xiling still has several decades to live, it is impossible for him to control too much power. At least the power of the Queen's family can never be used by Xiling Tianlei.
In the past, the ministers in the court would side with Xiling Tianlei because the Xiling royal family had no other competitors. But now it is different. With Xiling Tianyu here, they have to think more, at least they will not put all their hopes on Xiling Tianlei.
In addition, Xiling Tianlei believed that Xiling Tianyu was a cripple, and Xiling was already in his pocket, so there was no need to worry at all. Gradually, he shifted his focus to foreign countries, traveling around the world to select concubines, and relaxed his control over Xiling's government.
Although he now tries his best to return to Xiling and regain power in Xiling, Xiling Tianyu uses Yaohua's marriage to hold him back, preventing him from returning to Xiling. This is one of the reasons why Xiling Tianlei is anxious for Yaohua to get married as soon as possible.
Under the influence of various forces, Xiling Tianlei's position as the crown prince is already in jeopardy, so Xiling Tianlei, knowing that the battle in Xuanxiao Palace is unusual, still takes the risk to fight.
He was in urgent need of a great achievement to consolidate his position as the crown prince, and incorporating Xuanxiao Palace into Xiling's territory would definitely be a great achievement, but unfortunately...
He encountered two variables, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, which caused his plan to fail and made it difficult for him to maintain his position as crown prince.
The Ninth Prince used Hongxiu to expose the true face of Concubine Yu, the sickly beauty. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. By then, Xiling Tianlei would probably be in a state of panic.
Even if the Ninth Prince did not reveal the plan, Ouyang Cheng'an could figure out the key to it and knew how to use it to gain the greatest benefit for his side. But when the Ninth Prince said, "Leak the news that I'm in Xiling," Ouyang Cheng'an was completely stunned.
"Master?" Ouyang Cheng'an racked his brains but could not figure out what benefit there would be in revealing the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince sneered, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you want to be a deputy commander for the rest of your life?"
boom……
Ouyang Chengan understood instantly that the Ninth Prince was using his own safety to pave the way for him.
Ouyang Cheng'an crawled on the ground without thinking and banged his head heavily. How could he, Ouyang Cheng'an, deserve such a sacrifice from his noble master? Unexpectedly, he didn't knock on the wooden board, but on a black boot.
Knowing that the Ninth Prince did not like to interact with others, Ouyang Chengan looked up tremblingly. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was not angry, but just said: "Be careful."
How can I explain to others that I hurt my forehead? I can’t just say that the grape trellis at home fell down.
"Yes, yes, I obey your command. Please rest assured, I will not let you down." Ouyang Chengan clenched his fist and said firmly.
“Do it nicely. I will take this opportunity to get rid of the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Whether you can sit in that position by then depends on you. I can only help you so far.” It took ten years to raise this chess piece. As long as there is a chance, the Ninth Prince will spare no effort to help him take the position. After all, the higher Ouyang Chengan climbs, the better it will be for him.
"Don't worry, master. But what about your safety? How about I report it two days later?" This was Xiling after all, and Ouyang Cheng'an was still worried that something might happen to the Ninth Prince. If something happened to the Ninth Prince, he would be like a rootless duckweed, and the higher he climbed, the harder he would fall.
"No need. The sooner you do it, the greater your contribution will be." With Ouyang Cheng'an around, he didn't need to do anything in Xiling himself. He didn't mind being targeted by Xiling's Jinyiwei as long as they had the ability.
"Yes, I obey your command." Knowing that the Ninth Prince had a plan, Ouyang Cheng'an did not dare to persuade him any further.
"Go down." After giving the instructions and also giving Ouyang Cheng'an a warning, the Ninth Prince did not want to stay any longer. He had to meet someone else tonight, a very important person.
"yes."
Ouyang Cheng'an returned to his carriage. The coachman cracked the whip and Ouyang Cheng'an's carriage moved faster towards the flower boat, while the Ninth Prince's carriage moved forward at a steady pace, and its destination was still the flower boat.
When discussing matters in the capital, a flower boat is a good choice. Even if the Ninth Prince doesn't like it, it has to be said that a flower boat floating in the middle of the river is very safe for both parties who are meeting for the first time.
The carriage stopped beside an inconspicuous flower boat. Like other flower boats, the strong fragrance of flowers could be smelled before stepping on board, as well as the intermittent sounds of stringed instruments and teasing voices.
The Ninth Prince's nose twitched slightly, and he frowned unconsciously. He opened a secret button in his sleeve, and the elegant bamboo fragrance lingered around him, suppressing the strong and pungent fragrance.
Ever since Su Wan used the scent of flowers to trick the Ninth Prince last time, he would hold back every time he went out. After all, it was really frustrating to get into trouble because of such a small matter.
Without being bothered by the strange fragrance, the Ninth Prince boarded the flower boat alone and walked towards the bottom floor. Unlike what outsiders had seen, the bottom floor of the flower boat was very quiet, without a single person in sight. The interior was also elegantly decorated, with an air of nobility everywhere.
The rumors were indeed inconsistent with the facts, and a faint smile flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Prince.
By this time, he had seen the other party's sincerity. It seemed that the man had been living a very miserable life over the years...
