115 You Have to be Ruthless (1/2)
After listening to what Princess Lingchen's words, Jiang Xiao Tian could not help but feel that a headache was coming soon. In the end, Xiao Tian was shocked to hear that the Crown Princess had agreed to Prince Lu Wei's demand.
”You don't think I'm making the right decision?” Princess Lingchen said.
”I don't trust him,” Jiang Xiao Tian said.
”Then what do you suggest I should do? He knew my secret. Do you think I should have him killed?”
”If that's going to save us from any trouble later on, then maybe we should,” Jiang Xiao Tian said. ”As a ruler, there are times when you have to be ruthless.”
”Don't forget Prince Lu Wei's position as the Prince of Qian Rong,” Princess Lingchen pointed out. ”If he died in our territory, wouldn't Qian Rong use this as a chance to initiate war with us? The Emperor of Qian Rong was newly appointed. He has to look for a chance to prove his leadership and strengthen his position.”
”Then we should kill him once he steps out of Da Cheng,” Jiang Xiao Tian suggested. ”Wait. Since the Prince relationship with the newly appointed Emperor is not good, maybe we don't have to act once Prince Lu Wei steps out of Da Cheng.”
Princess Lingchen chuckled. She knew that Qian Rong's Emperor would definitely act once Prince Lu Wei stepped out of Da Cheng. Wasn't that was the reason why Prince Lu Wei seek for their protection?
”No.” Princess Lingchen opposed the idea. ”I have a feeling that Prince Lu Wei knows more about the Shadow Grass. He might be the key for us to find Mingyue. Don't worry. I have sent a few men to continue to watch over the Prince. If Prince Lu Wei dares to say something he shouldn't, the hidden guard will act against him.”
Even though Jiang Xiao Tian knew that Prince Lu Wei was under their observation, he could not help but worry. Princess Lingchen had made a reckless move. This situation only put the Princess into a dangerous situation.
”What did His Majesty say about this?” Jiang Xiao Tian asked.
”His Majesty agreed with Prince Lu Wei's condition.” Princess Lingchen said. ”He trusts my judgment.”
Jiang Xiao Tian could only heave a deep sigh. The Crown Princess had already made her decision, and His Majesty has already given her his support. There was nothing else he could do but to be on his guard against Prince Lu Wei.
