When the Prince Chu left, the crown prince called for everyone to leave. He asked Zhuge Qianyu, "What do you think, Sir?"
Zhuge Qianyu stroked his own white beard, and frowned slightly. "It's not a good thing for Hou to send someone over at this time. Our plan is extremely thorough, and it is impossible for us to leak it out, if this old man is not mistaken, in order to preserve my life, it is not difficult for First Prince to concoct a piece of evidence, it is just that this old man is suspicious right now, last time this old man sent a message to His Highness, His Highness, His Highness must have a plan in mind.
The Crown Prince sighed, his expression serious. "I made preparations a long time ago. It's just that … I …"
"Your Highness," Zhuge Qianyu said, "As a person who has achieved great things, one cannot be soft-hearted. With the example of the Prince Chu in front of you, Your Highness should know that all emotional actions will become a weak point. Your Highness probably doesn't want to become the second Prince Chu."
The Crown Prince lowered his head in silence. After a while, he muttered to himself, "I didn't expect it to come so fast."
"The Prince Chu stopped at the outskirts of the city and did not attack immediately. Did His Highness guess his intentions?"
The Crown Prince thought for a moment. "He's a man of his word. He knows that by staying still, he will be able to put a lot of pressure on the enemy, so …"
"Rather than saying that Prince Chu is causing pressure on First Prince, it's more like he's waiting for First Prince's reaction, his human nature has its weaknesses, his personality is weak, and in order to protect himself, he must think of all kinds of methods, and that's exactly what the Prince Chu is waiting for, His Highness shouldn't underestimate the Prince Chu, and from the surface, he should not think too much of it. But from the looks of it, he believes that the Emperor kidnapped the imperial consort, but is secretly sending people to investigate, and has already formed some points.
The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Sir, there's no need to say anymore. I know what I'm doing."
When Morong Gan left, he did not return for a long time. The crown prince did not have a single ounce of confidence as he paced back and forth in the tent. Zhuge Qianyu picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, "Your Highness, you should be at ease.
The Crown Prince said, "Go out and take a breather." Although he had made his decision long ago, at this time, he had an indescribable annoyance in his heart.
When they came out of the camp, they saw Huangfu Zhuer and Lv He standing not far away with their eyes wide open, looking extremely anxious. Qi Hong whispered to the side as if to advise against something.
He frowned and walked over quickly. "What's going on?"
Huangfu Zhuer and Lv He did not say anything, but Cai Feng, who was at the side, complained, "Returning to the Prince, this tent was obviously the one that our young miss had set her eyes on, but Lv He stopped us from entering, saying that she had set her eyes on this account first."
The Crown Prince was enraged when he heard it, and slapped Lv He, cursing: "You scoundrel, this servant dares to challenge Master, who taught you how to do so, the Prince is usually lenient to you, yet you don't even know what you're worth?"
The Crown Prince was usually a refined person, and was even more amiable towards the servants that were in close proximity with him. He had never seen him so angry before, so everyone present kneeled down in fear.
The slap was heavy, and very quickly, five fingers appeared, causing Lv He's eyes to fill with tears, she lowered her head and knelt down, not daring to say a word.
The Crown Prince seemed as if he had not vented his anger enough and kicked her over, "Today, Gu Gou will help Prince Chu teach you a lesson. Let's see if you have any limits in the future!"
The crown prince was the crown prince, so when he was angered, no one dared to go up and try to stop him, and they all just watched, Huangfu Zhuer was surprised, but the conflict between her and Lv He was not overnight, but the crown prince used the excuse of avoiding suspicion, but seeing that she was being ridiculed by Lv He, he had never helped her out, what was going on today?
Lv He is actually one of Morong Gan's men, and since she's married to Jia Tong, she might as well go ahead and advise: "It's not really a big deal, why would Crown Prince Brother be angry over this, it's just a camp account, if she wants to stay, then let her be, so that Third Brother won't be stuck in a dilemma."
The Crown Prince slowly suppressed his anger, he was being rash, he was just about to rope Jia Tong in, but then he suddenly beat Jia Tong's wife, causing Jia Tong's brain to go blank. He was afraid that Li Xiaolu's effort would go to waste. He raised his head and looked around, and finally understood, the tent account that he wanted was very close to Morong Gan's camp account. He knew what Huangfu Zhuer was thinking, and naturally, she wanted to be on the side of the brothel first. Lv He had never been on good terms with her, and he was also loyal to Bai Qianfan.
He told Cai Feng Silver Jade, "Move the Young Miss's luggage in. If anyone dares to disturb us, tell them to come to me."
Cai Feng, Silver Jade, had a complacent look on her face as she commanded a few soldiers to move their luggage into the tent.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the Crown Prince put his hands behind his back and walked away. Huangfu Zhuer chased after him and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince Brother."
The crown prince stopped and turned around with a smile on his face. "Why are you being so courteous to me?"
He looked around, walked around, stopped, and returned back to the camp. Morong Gan was still not back, and he was a little worried.
They were already outside the Linan City and were only one step away from success.
While waiting anxiously, Morong Gan finally returned. He picked the curtain and walked in, bringing along a gust of cold wind, he immediately ordered people to serve tea, and personally took Morong Gan's cape and hung it on the wall, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Morong Gan rubbed his hands together, and said, "Since he sent his men, I have to be patient and finish listening."
After the hot tea was sent in, Morong Gan held onto the warm hand and sat on the chair.
The Crown Prince wanted to find something out from his face, but he was disappointed. There was nothing on his face, so he waved his hand and retreated, pretending to be casual as he said, "Xiu Min is a Grand Scholar, he has a clever tongue that can make the dead sound alive and is on par with Bai Rubing. How much credit can he have? The person in the Forbidden Palace can't sit still anymore, so don't think of any other way to create such a thing, Third Brother. "
"How did second brother know that the secret letter was fabricated?" Morong Gan took a sip of tea and raised his face up from the steam. He looked at him with surprise: "Could it be that second brother knows something?"
The Crown Prince sighed, "I admit that I had my own selfish motives, but after thinking about it again and again, there are some things I have to tell you. Perhaps our judgement back then was wrong, it wasn't Morong Han who took away the princess and Heir, it was …"
"Who is it?" Morong Gan glared at him with his hawk-like eyes.
The Crown Prince did not make a sound, he drooped his eyes and looked at the tea in the cup, as though he was in a difficult situation. Morong Gan did not rush him, but held his own cup and drank some tea from time to time, waiting quietly.
After a long while, the Crown Prince finally bit his teeth and whispered a name, "It's Zhu Er."
He finally said it. It was as if something sharp had lightly caressed his heart, causing him a sharp pain, but the pain only lasted for a moment before he felt relieved. This was what he had planned to do, wasn't it?
