116 Visiting the Prince of Qian Rong (1/2)

Inside the Jiang's residence, Jiang Xiao Tian was in his study with his father, the old general, Jiang Huan. Xiao Tian was reading a letter sent by his elder brother, Xiao Xian silently. After a while, he tore the letter into two and threw it into the brazier.

”What did your brother say?” Jiang Huan asked.

Jiang Xiao Tian frowned as he looked at his father. ”Elder brother agreed. I should continue with the plan.”

Jiang Huan nodded. ”Then, you go ahead. Prince Jing has been a thorn in the flesh for the Princess. It's time for us to help Her Highness to remove him.” the Old General took a deep breath before he spoke again. ”His Majesty is too softhearted. He should do something to stop Prince Jing the first time the Prince tried to harm the Princess.”

”The Emperor valued his relationship with his younger brother, Prince Yi so much,” Jiang Xiao Tian commented. His tone showed his frustration. ”He loved the Princess, but he will not do anything that will upset Prince Yi.”

”We can't blame His Majesty. Harming Prince Jing will only harm the Emperor's relationship with his brother.” Jiang Huan said. ”Back then, the competition between the five princes were fierce. With Prince Yi's help, the Emperor ascended the throne.”

Jiang Xiao Tian looked at his father as the old man started to reminisce his past. Back then, the Old General Jiang was among the Emperor's supporters and had fought alongside the Emperor and Prince Yi for the throne.

”His Majesty must be in a predicament as well,” Jiang Huan said.

”Everything will be too late if Prince Jing's plan succeed.” Jiang Xiao Tian sneered. Then, he walked out to return to his room.

Although Xiao Tian was directly under the Emperor's command, there were certain things that he did not agree with the Emperor's decision. Especially when it involved the Princess. As Princess Lingchen and Mingyue was only a year apart, Xiao Tian considered the Princess as his little sister.

When Jiang Xiao Tian entered his room, a man dressed in black appeared beside him.

The man stayed in kneeling position as he waited for Jiang Xiao Tian to speak. However, Xiao Tian only stood there while he fiddled with a rolled paper in his hand.

A few minutes and Jiang Xiao Tian turned around. He stepped closer to the man and handed over the paper in his hand. ”Tonight, just do as we plan. Don't make any mistake. Destroy any evidence that could trace it back to us. If you're caught,” he bit his lips. ”You know what to do.”
