Everyone in Linjiang Palace soon knew that the Crown Prince had a conflict with the Prince before leaving. The servants in the main courtyard were very cautious for fear of angering their master.
Especially in Chu Jingxing's study, all the guards who had finally become somewhat familiar with him were replaced with Princess Linjiang's personal guards.
He no longer has anyone close to him.
When Nanny Yuan came in, he was hunched over the table playing chess with himself. The black and white pieces on the board were fighting each other, and his face was so cold that it was scary.
Nanny Yuan was not afraid. She stepped forward and bowed to him before asking softly, "Is the prince all right?"
She came here as a dowry not only to help Princess Xianrong, but more to serve as a bond for cooperation between Chu Jingxing and Princess Chang'an. Now that Chu Jingxing is in trouble, it is natural for her to show her concern.
But as soon as Chu Jingxing looked up, she knew that Princess Xianrong was still too naive - she thought Chu Jingxing must have been furious, but now she saw Chu Jingxing, who was calm and composed, with clear eyes, without any anger or resentment at all.
Nanny Yuan felt somewhat satisfied.
Being able to keep your emotions under control is a real skill. If you want to achieve great things, you should remain calm even when facing a huge crisis.
Chu Jingxing had already put down the chess piece in his hand and raised his eyebrows at her: "Mammy is here." He asked: "Is everything going well?"
Nanny Yuan looked at him in surprise and did not answer immediately.
Chu Jingxing did not wait for her to answer, but just spoke to himself: "Wei An gave my mother-in-law such a loud slap. Given my mother-in-law's temper, she will definitely not let it go."
He smiled, put his hands behind his head, and asked leisurely, "I heard that Yuan He died on the way to exile. So, was it you who did it?"
They already knew each other very well, and Nanny Yuan had no intention of denying it. She simply said, "Yes, the death of the Second Master is the only way to solve the problem once and for all."
Dead people will not reveal more secrets.
But can the secret at the moment be hidden? Chu Jingxing tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his face as cold as ice: "Is it a permanent solution? Why couldn't we prepare for a rainy day before, and let someone take advantage of us?"
Speaking of this, Nanny Yuan's face looked a little embarrassed.
Chu Jingxing asked so bluntly, directly accusing the Chang'an Princess's Mansion of incompetence.
She coughed, without commenting, and just said: "Miss Wei Qi is not an ordinary person."
He was saying that Wei An was indeed very capable and he refused to admit that there was something wrong with Princess Chang'an's mansion.
Chu Jingxing chuckled and didn't dwell on this topic too much. He just asked, "I asked my mother-in-law to do something for me. Has my mother-in-law made any progress in doing it?"
That is to say, when sending the letter to Liu Biping, no evidence could be revealed.
Nanny Yuan hummed and answered quickly: "This matter has been settled, you can rest assured." She raised her eyelids and glanced at Chu Jingxing, and then said: "Not only that, the princess has also thought of another way."
She told the story of how Princess Chang'an used the orphan of the Ming family to cause a fight between the two sides, and said firmly: "The Wei family is determined to get this child, but Liu Biping is absolutely unwilling to give up this child."
Once the child disappears, both parties will think that the child has been taken away.
A situation in which there is no end but death.
There is no chance that either side will give up.
When the snipe and the clam fight, it is always the fisherman that benefits.
Chu Jingxing smiled playfully and nodded his chin: "Mother-in-law is indeed very thoughtful. This method is very good." He changed his tone and said: "But, there won't be any more mistakes in this matter, right?"
Nanny Yuan lowered her eyebrows and shook her head: "Don't worry, Your Highness still has the assassins of the King of Chu in his hands. Even if the Second Master reveals some clues this time and the Wei Family finds the clues, it will be useless."
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. Xi'an is also the hometown of the Yuan family. With those death warriors, they are not afraid that the Wei family will cause any trouble in Xi'an.
Chu Jingxing hummed, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's better this way."
Seeing that he did not ask more questions about this matter, Nanny Yuan hesitated for a moment and then asked about his plot to offend the Fourth Prince and anger the King of Linjiang: "The Crown Prince has never been such a reckless person. I wonder what the Crown Prince is planning this time?"
Chu Jingxing had no intention of hiding it, he leaned back and exhaled: "Just gathering forces. Father doesn't like to take risks, but more is more pleasing."
Nanny Yuan quickly realized that Chu Jingxing had stayed in the capital as a hostage for many years, and the Xiao family and others he met in the capital were the helpers he had recruited.
King Linjiang has many old ministers under him, and King Linjiang himself has already become a powerful figure. If they join him, even if they succeed, some people's contributions cannot compare to these old people, and they will definitely be ranked at the end.
But joining Chu Jingxing is different.
Chu Jingxing is still just a prince now.
He doesn't have much power of his own to use.
He was a legitimate son and had been taught by Prime Minister Xia.
Whether in terms of status, etiquette or his personal qualities, he is a person worth investing in.
Those with sharp eyes had already seen the signs.
Chu Jingxing's action did offend King Linjiang, but he was not afraid, because he was also trying to win over his own forces - those who helped him plan this event, and who had offended King Jin and were not tolerated by King Linjiang because of this matter, so they could only rely on him wholeheartedly.
"The prince has a far-sighted vision." Nanny Yuan lowered her head and sighed: "But in this way, I have offended the prince..."
What are you afraid of
Originally, he was not the most beloved son of King Linjiang.
and... ...
He glanced at her with a smug yet gloomy smile on his face, and asked lightly, "Besides, doesn't Chu Jingwu have to stay in Beijing as well?"
Nanny Yuan couldn't help but shiver.
She understood the implication of Chu Jingxing's words - Chu Jingwu would also stay in the capital. Once Prince Linjiang left and the rebellion started, the capital would be in chaos. If Chu Jingwu got into trouble and lost his life, no one would be able to find fault with him - everyone should be thankful that he was able to escape.
By that time, Shen Chen would also be dealt with by Liu Biping.
All the big rocks in front of him were moved away.
Is there any better choice for Prince Linjiang besides him, the eldest son
Even if there is, will the forces following him agree to it
Prime Minister Xia is his teacher!
No matter who is the emperor, there will always be ministers, and Prime Minister Xia is undoubtedly the most indispensable one, the one that everyone is vying to win over.
Because of his relationship with Prime Minister Xia, the ministers under King Linjiang will also recommend him!
