Chapter 236: The Plan
"This is my place. Your Highness the Crown Prince comes here to threaten me. Isn't it too confident?" Zhao Yu looked at Changning while speaking.
Changning understood, loosened his grip on the hilt, and his eyes changed slightly as he looked at the prince.
"Zhao Yu!" The prince had always disliked Zhao Yu's self-righteous attitude: "Even if this is your place, so what? The current situation..."
"The current situation?" Zhao Yu interrupted the Crown Prince. He chuckled, "Your Highness, are you saying that you're in control of the situation? By using my mother as a threat, you think you've solved Zou Xingzhen's problem. Do you think you have the situation completely under your control?"
Zhao Yu did not deny that the prince was able to deal with Zou Xingzhen so quickly at this time, which showed that he had some means and courage.
What the prince did was nothing more than a provocation to him.
After all, what Zou Xingzhen said in front of the prince was also planning for him.
The prince came to Zou Xingzhen's residence and said these words after Zou Xingzhen got into trouble.
In addition to simple questioning, he also wanted to drive him out of Bian Jing, threatening him with the Empress Dowager, implying that if he did not obey, Zou Xingzhen's fate would be the same as his, Zhao Yu's.
But the prince had such courage and determination, yet he was so reckless as to come to his mansion alone.
I don't know whether the prince really doesn't take him seriously, or whether he thinks he can rest assured in the current situation.
"How many people did Your Highness the Crown Prince bring to my palace?" Zhao Yu asked, staring at the Crown Prince meaningfully.
The prince raised his eyebrows, subconsciously sensing something: "What do you mean?"
"You don't think that if something happens when you appear here, I will not be able to clear myself of the responsibility." Zhao Yu looked at the prince with a smile. Sometimes he thought the prince was very smart, and sometimes he thought the prince was stupid and ridiculous.
After hearing what Zhao Yu said, the prince frowned.
"Even if I can't clear myself of this, what can I do?" Zhao Yu chuckled. "Your father is now in a coma. Who will support you? Your advisers and staff?"
"Zhao Yu!" The prince's eyes flashed coldly: "What do you mean? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"Treason?" Zhao Yu sighed as he spoke. The smile on his lips was filled with sarcasm. He raised his eyes slightly and said, "I'm just taking back what belongs to me. How can that be called treason?"
The prince's expression froze.
"After so many years, you don't really think Zhao Zongli is the emperor of Dayin?" Zhao Yu's eyes grew fiercer as he spoke. "Even if Zhao Zongli's position fell into my hands, who in the court would object?"
"What's more, you will have to bear the consequences of Zhao Zongli's affairs."
"What do you mean?" The prince felt a chill down his spine. "I'm going to bear it, but what am I going to bear?"
Zhao Yu glanced at Chang Ning at this time.
Chang Ning understood: "His Royal Highness pretended to follow Lord Zou's advice and went to the prison. He also spread the news that Concubine Chen and the Second Prince had faked their deaths. In the end, it was Lord Zou who was actually dead. His Royal Highness then rushed to the Prince of Wei's mansion without stopping. It seems his goal is to force the prince out of Bianjing."
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use Consort Chen to make a deal with Shangguan Yan, in order to check and balance the prince."
Chang Ning felt that he was becoming more and more clear-headed. The prince's purpose was really not concealed at all.
"It's just that Your Highness wants to use Concubine Chen and her son to exploit Shangguan Yan, and the prince does the same." Chang Ning sneered: "Your Highness, why don't you think about why Lord Zou is so eager to urge you to deal with Concubine Chen?"
The prince's pupils shrank slightly.
Chang Ning continued, "Because the prince already knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not deal with Concubine Chen. After all, in the eyes of the Crown Prince, Concubine Chen and the Second Prince are no longer a threat, but they can still be used. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take advantage of the situation, and so does the prince."
The prince's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at Zhao Yu and questioned in his tone, "You know I won't attack Concubine Chen!"
Zhao Yu smiled faintly: "You have always been self-righteous and smart, looking down on everyone. It's easy to guess what you are thinking."
"You!" The prince glared at Zhao Yu coldly, then thought about how Chen Fei was of no use to Zhao Yu, and relaxed again: "How can you use Chen Fei?"
Zhao Yu stared at the Crown Prince calmly, his words clear: "Your Highness the Crown Prince colluded with the Concubine Chen to murder the emperor, and then assassinated Lord Zou after he discovered the truth. How can Your Highness the Crown Prince be qualified to be the crown prince of Dayin?"
(I'm out of town on business, I'll make it up when I get back, sorry)
