Chapter 549 - Fra The Third Prince? (2/2)
He paused before continuing, “In recent years, His Majesty had been obsessed with irossed in distilling elixirs Everyone else may not understand his true intentions, but don’t tell me that you can’t perceive it! It is clear that he does not want to be like the Retired Eeneration when he grew old Third Prince had performed exceptionally well recently, while the Fifth Prince and the empress are no more, which meant that there is no one left to help the e the power balance in the palace”
Elder Wu’s tone hardened as he enunciated his last sentence slowly, “Knowing His Majesty’s character, it is unlikely that he did not have any intention to eliht now It was just like how he did not oppose it e made a mess of the Helian family…”
Elder Zhan’s eyes darkened when he heard that “What do you have in reed He leaned over and whispered so what the other whispered in his ear, Elder Zhan nodded lightly and praised, “You’re indeed deserving of the title of elder This is such an impeccable plan!”
“Well, this couple of days had been rough for the emperor After the incident at the provincial capital, quite a nu the Third Prince to the position of crown prince How is he going to sleep with ease like this?” Elder Wu started to laugh, as if victory was already in their hands
“Currently, the Fifth Prince had been stripped of his title, while the empress is imprisoned in the Cold Palace It is normal for a powerless prince tothe palace with his troops, and it is certain that when that time comes, the Third Prince would mobilize his own troops to defend the palace However, the situation is a lot trickier now Since the e him, anyone could spearhead the defense of the palace but him Anyway, once the Third Prince takes action, my people will sneak into his residence and plant a set of royal dragon robes there After that, the eation and claim that the Third Prince is the one who has the true intention for treason!”
Elder Zhan stroked his beard as he countered, “What if the Third Prince does not le soldier? His actions are often carefully measured yet unpredictable Even after so many years, I’ve never understood how that man works This plan seeht away There is a possibility that he will notice that so’s off”
“If he doesn’t mobilize his troops or step forward to assu anything, then the plan will run even ly “If that happens, I will speak up in court and point out that those so-called ‘rebellious soldiers’ are just using the Fifth Prince as a figurehead The real culprit must be the Third Prince, otherould he not mobilize his troops to protect the eive a thu this “This plan is foolproof indeed! If he takes action, then it amounts to treason; but if he doesn’t take action, then it shows that he has other nefarious plans in ht off the invasion for hiets involved, but if otherwise, then the eet rid of the Third Prince!”
“That is exactly my intention” A sinister sht for a while before saying, “This plan needs to be executed flawlessly It is best if we can nail down the crie on Helian Wei Wei, so that the Third Prince would be too busy trying to save her instead of thinking about anything else!”
“You don’t have to worry about that, Elder Zhan,” Elder Wu laughed “On their wedding day, Helian Wei Wei did not reveal anything suspicious because of the Fire Qilin’s appearance For the chanting ritual to the Third Prince and Helian Wei Wei, will be inside the palace Since the e any sacred beasts with them When that moment arrives, it will be the death of Helian Wei Wei…”
Clatter!
The emperor sneered as he tossed a report to the side His voice was laced with a clear undertone of fury as he snarled, “Another idiot insisting that I appoint a crown prince as soon as possible Heh, I’ on the throne, but they’re already so bold!”
Crash!+
With a swipe of his sleeve, all of the reports that were on the sandalwood table were swept uncere at the side, treht in the eave the eunuch a vicious kick to release his anger “Not only that, the Retired E randchild?”
