"You have no support in the palace, and you don't have many people supporting you in the court. If this matter were to be exposed, it would be disadvantageous to you!"
But after all, he and Qin Yue grew up together. Both of them were children without mothers since childhood. When they met, they had a feeling that they were both wanderers in the world.
They had climbed trees together, skipped classes together, eaten meat together, and drank wine together. Even the last time they went back to the north, he was the one who disguised himself as him and walked the clear path, blocking many assassinations for him.
Although the contact between the two has become less and less since he went to the North, it is undeniable that during their unremarkable growth process, each other's company added a rare comfort to that dark time.
At least the memories aren't all bitter!
The Fourth Prince shook his head. "Now that I've received the news, I can't just sit back and watch! I'll send a message to Qin Yue shortly so he knows about this in advance and won't be caught off guard!"
Chang Jin saw that the Fourth Prince had already made up his mind, and he changed his attitude. "Your Highness doesn't have to do this personally. Instead, you can find a way to leak the news to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince knew of the Second Prince's plan, I'm afraid he wouldn't let him succeed so easily!"
The Fourth Prince nodded. He had no powerful relatives to help him, nor did he have the support of ministers in the court. All he could do now was to bide his time and watch the fight between the two tigers from the mountain.
During this period, he could only act like a prince who was indifferent to fame and fortune and was well-behaved and obedient. He was not allowed to do anything that might expose his ambitions!
The two of them talked secretly in the study for a long time, trying to figure out how to reveal the Second Prince's plan to the Crown Prince without leaving any trace.
The Crown Prince is now in seclusion, and ordinary people cannot get close to him. The Fourth Prince wants to pass the message to the Crown Prince quietly without involving himself, but he has not yet come up with a perfect plan.
Chang Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you let me handle this matter? Your Highness doesn't need to get involved."
"Have you come up with a good idea, sir?"
Chang Jin's lips curled up slightly, "Start with Uncle Xu!"
Although the prince is reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, he cannot leave the prince's mansion. It may not be difficult for the prince's close ministers to meet the prince and pass on the news from the court to him!
The Fourth Prince nodded slightly. This matter could only be dealt with from the close ministers around the Crown Prince.
After the two of them had discussed it, Chang Jin left the Fourth Prince's mansion.
He did not go home directly, but went to a bookstore, bought some common paper and ink, borrowed a book from the bookstore, walked to the corner of the second floor and began to copy.
In addition to selling books, the main business of this shop is to provide books for students to copy for free. The only requirement is that the copying paper must be purchased from the shop.
Therefore, the young man was already accustomed to this kind of situation and did not go forward to disturb them.
Chang Jin copied for a while, and when he saw that there was no one around, he took another piece of paper and wrote down the Second Prince's conspiracy on it.
After he finished writing, he put it in his arms and copied the book for another quarter of an hour. Then he returned the book to the clerk and left the bookstore.
He walked along the street and came to a restaurant. This was the most famous restaurant in the capital, and many dignitaries liked to come here for socializing.
He found a snack stand across the street and sat down, ordered some food, and while observing the restaurant across the street, he secretly wondered whether Uncle Xu would come here today.
Today, the Fourth Prince told him what happened in the court. Normally, these court officials would come here after the court session to discuss in detail what happened in the court.
He waited at the snack stand diagonally opposite with the mentality of giving it a try.
As he expected, when he was halfway through his meal, he saw Uncle Xu, with a rosy complexion and a satisfied look on his face, walking out with several adults.
He immediately stood up and walked towards two children who were squatting and playing on the street.
He squatted down, a silver coin lying quietly in his palm. It looked like there were about two taels of silver. He asked the older boy, "Would you like to run an errand for me? The money will be yours!"
The older boy suddenly saw the man squatting in front of him, and he pulled his younger brother behind him with caution. When he saw the silver in the man's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Two coins of silver was their family's living expenses for a month. With this money, A Niang could wash fewer clothes for others.
The boy sniffed and nodded bravely.
Chang Jin turned around and pointed at Uncle Xu, who had already walked to the door of the restaurant, and said to the boy, "See that fat guy with a rosy face? Go and help me deliver a letter, and the money will be yours!"
The boy tilted his head and thought about it. He felt that this was not a difficult task, so he agreed readily.
Chang Jin handed the silver and paper to the boy. The child took the things without much hesitation and ran to Uncle Xu with his brother.
At this time, Xu Guojiu's carriage also came over. He was about to get on the carriage when a child's voice rang in his ears, "Master, someone asked me to give this to you!"
The attendant beside him quickly blocked the way in front of Xu Guojiu and said sternly, "You rude and unruly people, how dare you offend the Lord? Get out of here immediately!"
The boy was frightened by the man's aura. His hand holding the paper trembled twice. He took a few steps back in fear and didn't know what to do.
Uncle Xu gave his attendant a look, and the attendant immediately stepped forward and took the note from the child's hand, "Get out of here!"
The boy breathed a sigh of relief. Although the other party's attitude was bad, at least his mission was completed!
He immediately disappeared with his brother in the crowded street.
Uncle Xu took the paper from the attendant slowly and after reading the contents clearly, his expression suddenly changed drastically and he said anxiously, "Where is the messenger? Find him quickly!"
The followers were immediately puzzled. They looked around in confusion, but there was no sign of Chang Jin and the two children on the crowded streets.
Xu Guojiu closed his eyes. This person sent a letter to him in this way just because he didn't want him to know who he was.
He suddenly ordered his followers, "Go to the Prince's residence!"
