"Tsk, it seems you got the cannon fodder script, how pitiful you are." Su Ningxin muttered under her breath, and then headed towards the main hall. After all, Chu Muwan was not the only one she wanted to settle accounts with. Brother Chu Luoyan is Su Ningxin's biggest target.
Walking forward with her back to Chu Muwan's body, Su Ningxin looked at the palace wall in the distance and said with relief, "Flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix? I feel very comfortable being a sparrow."
After passing through the corpses everywhere, Su Ningxin finally walked up to the court hall step by step. Looking at the two parties facing each other in front of her, Su Ningxin raised her eyebrows.
Chu Jihan was the first to notice her. He was relieved when he saw that Su Ningxin was not injured. The two of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces. After that, Su Ningxin walked to Chu Jihan and looked at the person opposite.
The leaders were naturally Prince Jing and the Crown Prince Chu Luoyan. Compared with Chu Luojue who could find a place to sit on the Diaoyutai, the rebellious father and son opposite could not do the same. They could only wear armor and go into battle to lead the way.
After all, this is a major matter of rebellion and forcing the palace. If you don't take the lead and charge forward, who will follow you to rebel? In the end, even if the rebellion is successful, it depends on whether the position is considered to be the leading general or the prince huddled behind.
"Not bad, I can survive until now." Su Ning said with a smile on her face, her eyes fell on Chu Luoyan who was protecting Prince Jing.
Chu Luoyan looked at Su Ningxin and his pupils shrank, "I didn't expect it was you. Aren't you already dead of illness?"
"Why are you asking such an idiot question? Can I stand in front of you and explain the problem soon?" Su Ningxin sneered.
She was very clear about Chu Luoyan's thoughts. In their opinion, she would be given a marriage to Chu Luojue entirely because she had a better relationship with Chu Luojue when he was in despair, and Gu Mingxi, the Prince of Pingnan, The princess took advantage of this to marry her off to the prince Chu Luojue.
As King Pingnan stepped down from the military power, the Crown Prince also became an idle marquis, so Gu Mingxi was no longer taken seriously by the emperor. Without the restraint of Prince Pingnan, the emperor would naturally not let Su Ning Xin, a pawn of Prince Pingnan's palace, remained in his harem, so he disposed of her casually.
In fact, this is what Chu Luojue wanted Prince Jing's Palace to see. Although Prince Pingnan's Palace no longer controls the military, it still has a high prestige in the military, which makes them feel that the emperor does not have the support of Prince Pingnan's Palace. Naturally, this allows them to relax their vigilance and take action in advance.
In the past, Chu Luojue felt that there was not enough time to deal with Prince Jing to allow him to accumulate enough strength, but with his two purges of the court, he now felt that Prince Jing was too slow to rebel.
To Chu Luojue, he was the legitimate emperor. Without the constraints of powerful ministers, the power he could use to fight against Prince Jing was considerable. At this point, he had already used all the power he could use.
Even if he is given more time, it will be useless to him. Not only will it not make him stronger over time, but it will also make him prone to accidents. After all, if there is any natural or man-made disaster in Daqi, his Power would have to be dispersed.
The people of Prince Jing's lineage are only princes, so they naturally don't have to worry about their actions and strength being affected by the people. However, the disadvantage is also obvious. All their preparations must be done in secret. This resulted in Chu Luojue spending two or three years to accumulate a lot of money. To gain the strength, they had to secretly prepare for twenty or thirty years, and they also had to worry about being discovered and destroyed by the emperor.
The embarrassed Chu Luoyan opposite looked at Su Ningxin with a stern look, "You are really arrogant. Do you think you can be on an equal footing with me once you gain power?"
The people in Prince Jing's Mansion always have a higher eye than the top. Because the imperial edict made them feel that they were tricked into losing the throne, so they always felt that they were the orthodox royal family and they didn't care about anyone else. In eyes.
In fact, Su Ningxin felt that even if the imperial edict had not been changed, Prince Jing would not be able to secure the throne. After all, his mother-in-law's family had no role except to hold him back.
Prince Jing, his mother and concubine did not know how to form cliques to find backers. They only knew how to rely on the emperor at that time. The advantages of doing so were obvious. The emperor had no suspicion of their mother and son and regarded them as his own. However, the disadvantages were also obvious. Once the emperor If they cannot control the situation, they will immediately fight against each other. Prince Jing, who has no direct followers in the court, will easily be ignored by the Queen Mother even if he becomes the emperor.
There was one thing that Su Ningxin had never figured out. Based on her knowledge of the Queen Mother's iron-blooded skills, it was impossible for her to do such a thing of letting the tiger return to the mountain. She had always eliminated the root cause.
But in the case of Prince Jing, she obviously should have killed Prince Jing directly after replacing the imperial edict to avoid future troubles, but she did not do so, and she does not know why.
Su Ningxin could still think about other things in this situation, but she could only think about it. After all, the Queen Mother had passed away long ago, and no one could answer her doubts.
[Wait a minute, isn't the person in front of you the person involved? If you ask, you might be able to find out something.]Su Ningxin suddenly thought in her heart that Prince Jing's failure was already certain anyway, so there was nothing wrong with her asking.
Anyway, Prince Jing is bound to die this time. If he can learn something from him and answer his doubts to satisfy his curiosity, he will be able to shine before his death.
Su Ningxin shifted her gaze to Prince Jing, who had been hit by an arrow and was being supported by his guards. He looked very old and his hair was gray. It was really difficult for an old man like him to go to the battlefield.
After all, his brother who was a few years older than him, the late emperor, had passed away a few years ago. It was good that he was still alive, but he was still jumping around. Isn't it good to support himself at this age? The prince's life is not too bad and pampered, so why do he have to do such a risky thing.
[It’s okay now. The whole family is in, right?]
Su Ningxin complained silently in her heart. Her goal all along was to live a life where she could put out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food. It would be better if she didn't have to worry about anything and could only count money.
Prince Jing in front of her stood at the end of her dream as soon as she was born, and he didn't know how to cherish it at all. It really made Su Ning sigh with regret, hating that iron could not become steel.
Chu Jihan on the side looked at Su Ningxin and couldn't help but smile. Her little head would think about these things that were different from ordinary people every day.
"Prince Jing, this junior has really admired your name for a long time." Su Ningxin looked at Prince Jing and said, the smile on her face did not make people feel relaxed, but instead made him feel chills on his back.
