The two came here to write a letter so they could use Xinran's seal. After finishing the letter, they put it away and left quickly.
He Jiuniang then led Lu Baichuan out of the space, searched the house again to make sure nothing was forgotten, and then quickly retreated.
Now that we've found the evidence, we can proceed with many things without hesitation.
Over the next few days, Lu Baichuan was very busy, leading his men to eliminate those spies in a very secretive manner, and even replacing them with their own people without anyone noticing.
When the Fire Cloud Division was short of manpower, Lu Baichuan transferred people from the military camp. Those selected from the military camp were definitely not useless.
If they perform well enough, Lu Baichuan will definitely ask Prince Chen for them. The existence of the Fire Cloud Division is very important. At present, it is much better than leaving talented people to gather dust in the military camp.
Meanwhile, Xinran's people were working hard, distributing all the tasks that needed to be arranged. In just a few days, Prince Lin, far away in the capital, had already received a letter from Qingyin Garden.
When Lin Wang saw that the other party directly pointed out his identity and even clearly stated that they could help him seize the throne, but only if he obeyed them.
Lin Wang had a burning anger in his heart with nowhere to vent it. During this period, he had been trying to contact the people of Dongting, but they didn't pay much attention to him. They felt that he had been dishonest in hiding his identity and didn't even want to cooperate with him anymore. He had put in a lot of effort to finally get the people of Qingyin Garden to respond to him.
The other party was certainly willing to cooperate with him again, but on the condition that he successfully delivered the tea to the old emperor and made the old emperor fall in love with the tea. As long as he could do these things, the Eastern Court would regain its trust in him.
Having cooperated with Dongting for so long, he naturally knew what was added to those teas. That stuff wouldn't kill anyone in the short term, but it would make someone addicted and then obey his every word.
Actually, Prince Lin had wanted to serve this tea to the old emperor before, since the previous elixirs also contained verbs that could harm the body, and he still made the old emperor consume them anyway, so this tea is no different.
Previously, the old emperor had shown him some favor, and he was willing to take action against him. Now that the old emperor was becoming increasingly distant from him and even preparing to confine him for a long period of time, he really wished that the old emperor would just drink the tea and then listen to his every word. That way, it would be easier for him to do things, and he might even be able to take the opportunity to get rid of Prince Chen.
He Jiuniang was truly strange. Ever since she met the old emperor, the old emperor's attitude towards Prince Chen had undergone a huge change. Although he no longer cared for and doted on him like he did for the crown prince, he no longer deliberately made things difficult for him as before, and would even occasionally praise him.
Prince Jing was so depressed about this matter that he was almost driven to despair.
Brother Yiping suddenly disappeared, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find him. With the current situation in the court, he didn't know what to do. He didn't have the ability to directly deal with Prince Chen, so he could only spend his days in restaurants, drinking until he was unconscious before being carried home.
Prince Lin ignored Prince Jing, mainly because he felt that Prince Jing was no longer useful and naturally did not want to waste his energy fooling him. He only wanted to work for himself, regain the old emperor's trust, and get rid of Prince Chen.
After figuring things out, Prince Lin took the tea and went to the palace. He had just been released from confinement, and at this time, it was most important to go to the palace to show his loyalty.
At the same time, Prince Chen also received a letter from Lu Baichuan, who told him about what Qingyin Garden had told Prince Lin. Prince Chen's brows furrowed instantly.
Prince Lin's actions are getting more and more outrageous. He hasn't even completely cleared his name of the previous crimes, yet he's already making arrangements again. Does he really think everyone is a fool?
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
Cheng Meng asked if it was still possible to intercept them now.
"You don't need to do anything."
Prince Chen smiled and continued, "Fifth Prince really underestimated Father Emperor. He thought Father Emperor could fall for the same trick twice."
The old emperor was simply incompetent and didn't care about people's livelihoods, but that doesn't mean he was a fool who allowed people to be framed time and time again.
What's more, that person was his son.
"Your Highness is wise."
Just as Cheng Meng finished flattering her, the princess arrived and tactfully withdrew.
"Your Highness, has a letter arrived from Jingzhou?"
The princess came forward excitedly, forgetting that she should bow to Prince Chen. She looked at him with eager eyes, like... well, like a puppy eating snacks.
"Yes, a letter has arrived. It's from Madam Lu to you."
Prince Chen smiled without minding and handed over another unopened letter.
It was clear that the princess really liked He Jiu Niang. She took the letter and opened it right in front of her, but her smile froze on her face after reading only the first few sentences.
"I'm so angry! How can there be such an annoying person!"
As she watched, she said, "Yes, that's how they should be taught a lesson! They've really gone too far. Aren't they afraid of retribution for doing such immoral things?"
"As expected of Jiu Niang, she's amazing!"
Prince Chen, who was listening from the side: ...
In that short period of time, she was happy one moment, angry the next, indignant one moment, and sighing the next. Prince Chen was really curious about what He Jiu Niang was thinking.
I really wanted to go over and take a look, but then I thought better of it; it would be a little impolite...
It is said that one should not casually read letters exchanged between women, as doing so may cause illness.
But seeing the princess's expression, he was genuinely curious, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did Madam Lu say to you that made you so excited?"
"Oh dear, the clubhouse that was supposed to open at the end of the year can't operate anymore, because blah blah blah..."
The princess finished explaining everything in one breath, saying that something had happened at the club, some workers had been killed, the club was a dangerous building and had to be demolished and rebuilt, and she had been dealing with those trivial matters.
Fortunately, He Jiuniang went to those despicable people to demand compensation, got a lot of money, and even beat them up, which was very satisfying.
He Jiuniang didn't mention the case behind it at all, but just shared some things that had happened during this period with her, just like two friends who had known each other for a long time.
Prince Chen listened quietly, understanding in his heart, yet admiring He Jiu Niang. What seemed like a complicated and difficult matter to others, came out of her mouth as if it were nothing at all.
Furthermore, the people and stories she tells are always very interesting, making people want to learn more.
She was like a happy bird soaring in the vast sky, while the princess was like a canary in a royal cage, which made her even more interested in what she was saying.
