"Your Highness, what do you think is wrong?" The aide pondered for a moment, thinking carefully about the whole ins and outs of the matter, and felt that Prince Xin was undoubtedly the mastermind. However, he was impressed by Xiao Changyan's caution, so he asked this question.
With his eyebrows slightly knitted and his pupils slightly drooping, Xiao Changyan asked in confusion, "What is the purpose of what Fifth Brother did? It confuses me."
If all this was done by Xiao Changqing, then from leaking the rainfall date predicted by Taishijian to everything that happened later, what was his purpose
Just to throw him into chaos, prevent him from completing the task assigned by His Majesty, and thus be held responsible for dereliction of duty
This was too far-fetched. You have to know that spreading rumors requires a lot of people to come here. It's so time-consuming and laborious, just to give him a little trouble? Moreover, he asked himself that he was not incompetent, and Xiao Changqing should not regard him as incompetent. He should understand that these small tricks can be easily resolved by him.
Knowing that he could resolve it, why did they spend so much manpower to achieve it? Unless Xiao Changqing was a fool!
Obviously, Xiao Changqing was not a fool. He leaked the date of rainfall predicted by Taishijian most likely for other purposes and it was not targeting him.
Xiao Changyan's words startled the staff. They had not paid attention to these details before, but now that they thought about it carefully, they felt that what Xiao Changyan said made sense. He was puzzled: "It is indeed the Prince Xin who leaked the predictions of the Imperial Historian."
There is no doubt about this. They have been investigating secretly for a long time and have verified it with extreme caution.
"News has been received from Linqing Town that all the people who followed the couple in search of their relatives were silenced. The killing method is unique to Prince Xin's secret guards." The aide added.
They had repeatedly explored this type of weapon during those years in Annan, but still had not figured out what it was made of. They had made a number of things that looked like it, but they had also tested them on enemy troops and death row prisoners, and the traces left after killing were always different.
Precisely because they had investigated, they remembered the wounds vividly. The corpse had been transported to them, and they had seen it and were certain that it was done by Prince Xin's secret guards.
"If that couple were the fifth brother's men, why would they deliberately show up and attract our attention? And why did they use a secret weapon without any concealment?" Xiao Changyan asked back.
The staff had their own ideas: "Your Highness, the prince is weak, and he will die in less than two years... Prince Dabao and Prince Xin are the only ones who can compete with each other. Prince Xin may have done it on purpose, hoping to use the secret guards to lure out the prince's shadow guards and have a good fight!"
It sounded reasonable, but Xiao Changyan rejected it flatly: "No, Fifth Brother does have such courage and style of doing things. However, the timing is not right."
His second brother is not a careless person, and his third brother seems to be well-behaved, but he has a restless sister-in-law.
"Your Highness, are you talking about Prince Zhao and Prince Dai?" The aide said with contempt, "These two are not to be feared. Prince Xin and Your Highness only need to decide who is better, and the world will be settled. Prince Xin chose to take advantage of the natural disaster in Dengzhou to start the attack, and I personally think it is a godsend."
After thinking for a moment, the aide met Xiao Changyan's gaze and continued, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but the Crown Prince is not long for this. No one knows how long it will take for Your Majesty to take over the throne. If we wait until Your Majesty is in his twilight years to start another fierce battle, not only will the loss be even greater, but even if we win, our reputation will also be damaged."
