If all else fails, given his troop strength and the fact that person promised to help him, his chances of successfully storming the palace are very high.
What Prime Minister Jiang was thinking was that if she changed her mind now and stopped following Prince Cheng, he would still be the emperor's father-in-law, and his daughter was pregnant now, so it seemed like the latter would be more worthwhile.
However, he was still unsure whether he should do this, since his most beloved daughter was in love with Prince Cheng.
After the morning court session, King Cheng gave Prime Minister Jiang a meaningful look, and Prime Minister Jiang understood what he meant.
After the group made their appointment, they gathered at Prince Cheng's residence. Unexpectedly, a person appeared at the residence: Miao, the princess's little servant.
King Cheng admired him greatly and walked over to pat him on the shoulder.
"Miao, you're back! What did the people over there say? Can they help us?"
Miao Hanxiao nodded. He knew that he couldn't possibly improve the lives of the people of his country on his own, which was why he seduced and encouraged the princess. However, the princess was a useless person and could not amount to anything.
Thinking of the princess, Miao's eyes were filled with disgust. He had been enduring the nausea while serving that old woman, but he never expected that he would end up with nothing.
"Your Majesty, our Grand Preceptor said that in order for Your Majesty to seize this vast land in one fell swoop, our people are willing to help, only asking that Your Majesty can provide us with a place to live."
Upon hearing Miao's words, King Cheng burst into laughter.
With an air of unwavering determination and absolute confidence, he said, "Don't worry! As long as we succeed, you'll get promoted, beautiful women, and jewels—you can have whatever you want."
King Cheng's words stirred up everyone present, and a glint of light appeared in each of their eyes.
There's nothing yet, but the way they're acting now makes it seem like they've already succeeded.
"We are willing to follow King Cheng's lead and strive to achieve our great cause as soon as possible."
King Cheng was excited as he looked at them. "Good, good, good. Let's start planning the best time to launch our attack. This time, we can only adopt a counter-encirclement strategy. This way, our chances of winning will be greater."
What King Cheng didn't know was that their plan had already been overheard by a lowly servant outside. Upon hearing such big news, he was so excited that his whole body trembled.
So much so that when he met the chief steward of the Prince's mansion on the road, he was still trembling and almost got discovered.
The moment they brushed past each other, cold sweat instantly streamed down the young servant's face, and he almost lost control of himself.
Fortunately, everything passed without incident. The young servant took the message and found the relay person, instructing him to send the letter back to the palace as quickly as possible.
The moment Mo Yuhan received the letter, his face turned icy, and his entire aura was cold.
Standing next to him, Su Changde would have liked to get another piece of clothing if he wasn't too afraid; it was really cold.
He was so cold that he was shivering.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
Mo Yuhan, radiating a murderous aura, slammed the object to the ground, his voice cold.
"Look at yourself! Prince Cheng really has a lot of nerve!"
Su Changde carefully picked up the letter that had been thrown on the ground and glanced at it.
When I saw the contents above, my eyes widened in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, is Prince Cheng plotting a rebellion? How could he be so audacious? He usually seems so carefree and irresponsible. I never imagined he would harbor such ambitions."
Mo Yuhan gave a cold laugh, her voice as sharp as a blade ringing in Su Changde's ears.
"What you see is only the surface. I saw through his ambition a long time ago, but I didn't care because he hadn't really taken any action. This time it seems that he is really preparing to take action. I will wait and see how far he can go."
Su Changde looked at Mo Yuhan with some doubt, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, why did Prince Cheng not take any action before, but suddenly start now?"
Mo Yuhan glanced at him, her voice cold.
"Have you forgotten what I said in court today? He originally thought that as long as he incited the ministers to submit a memorial, I could make him the crown prince. However, his plan was ruined when he heard that Consort Jing was pregnant."
If I'm not mistaken, he's only resorting to this tactic because he has no other choice. Otherwise, given the military power he holds, he wouldn't be able to contend with me at all. Now he's probably preparing for a desperate last stand.
With Mo Yuhan's explanation, Su Changde suddenly understood. He nodded immediately and looked at Mo Yuhan.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should I have the Imperial Guards lie in ambush?"
Mo Yuhan nodded. If it were just Prince Cheng and his few people, there would be no need to use the Imperial Guards. However, he had just seen the letter mention the princess's little servant.
Mo Yuhan also knew this person; he was a prince of a small country with not many troops under his command.
However, Mo Yuhan felt that it was better to take precautions early on.
"Also, send a few more people to guard Consort Jing's side. Make sure Consort Jing and the child in her womb are safe."
Su Changde knew that the most important thing now was Consort Jing's matter, and he had to make a trip there personally.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! This servant will make proper arrangements and ensure that when the time comes, Prince Cheng's men will never leave alive."
Mo Yuhan's face was serious. He nodded and slowly began to speak.
"Judging from the way the King is, he should be taking action soon. In the meantime, have the Imperial Guards be on high alert to ensure the safety of the palace."
Also, tell the people on Prince Cheng's side to keep a close eye on things, and to have any news sent to the palace immediately.
Even without Mo Yuhan saying it, Su Changde already understood.
After explaining everything, Mo Yuhan was still a little uneasy.
He hurriedly stood up and walked outside. Su Changde was a little confused, but he still followed him out.
When Su Changde saw Mo Yuhan return to his palace, he immediately understood what the Emperor wanted to do.
