Chapter 325 The Prince's Plan
Chapter 325 The Prince's Plan
Kong Luanying handed the King of Qin a letter with a solemn expression and said, "This is a letter from Princess Wu'an to the master. She said that it is best for everyone in the Duke's Mansion to stay here. If the prince forces the palace, she is afraid that he will use the Duke's Mansion to threaten the master!"
After hearing this, the King of Qin asked with some concern, "When will the people from the General's Mansion be withdrawn here?"
Kong Luanying frowned and replied, "If the people from the General's Mansion also left, I'm afraid the Crown Prince would become suspicious! Now that Prince Wu'an and Prince Xian are in the capital, you can rest assured, my master!"
King Qin nodded and thoughtfully opened the letter Luo Lingyue had written to him. After quickly reading it, his face became extremely gloomy, and he clenched his fists and said angrily: "How dare Chu Chengli! How dare you poison my father!"
Kong Luanying quickly advised: "Master! Don't be anxious! We still have to wait for a suitable opportunity to give Chu Chengli a fatal blow!"
Late at night, the Prince's mansion was completely silent, with only the flickering candlelight in the study. The Prince had a gloomy face, sitting quietly in the shadow of the candlelight, saying nothing, as if he had merged into the darkness.
Prime Minister Li Mingfu stood aside, looking at the prince solemnly, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said with a bit of ruthlessness: "Your Highness! How about we..." As he spoke, he made a killing gesture with his hand, implying that he would take extreme measures against someone.
The prince raised his head slightly, his dark eyes were full of gloom, like the calm before a storm. He shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "This cannot be done now!" His voice was firm and calm.
Li Mingfu frowned and urged anxiously: "Your Highness, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible! If the King of Qin returns to the capital alive, it will probably bring us more trouble and may even affect your position. We must solve this problem as soon as possible before he returns!" His eyes revealed anxiety and uneasiness.
The prince was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stared out at the night. The moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his resolute and determined expression.
He took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Mingfu, and said calmly: "I know you are worried about the threat from the King of Qin, but now is not the best time to take action. We need to wait for a suitable opportunity to make everything seem logical. Otherwise, rash actions will only arouse more suspicion and dissatisfaction."
After listening to the prince's words, Li Mingfu still had doubts in his heart, but he also understood the truth. He nodded and agreed: "Your Highness is right, but the King of Qin is not in the capital now, which is a good time for us to take action. If we wait for him to come back, things may become difficult."
The prince frowned anxiously: "Such a big thing has happened, why don't Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue take any action? I always feel very uneasy in my heart!"
Li Mingfu chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Maybe they were scared out of their wits by the Duke's Mansion's rebellion and dared not act rashly! They were afraid of implicating the General's Mansion and the Wu'an Prince's Mansion!"
The doubt in the prince's eyes became more and more intense. He shook his head and said firmly: "They are definitely not the kind of people who will sit and wait for death! There must be other conspiracies brewing..."
Li Mingfu's expression changed slightly, and his voice became low and sinister: "In this case, why don't we take the initiative! Destroy the General's Mansion directly! Then use everyone in the General's Mansion as hostages to force Luo Jing to hand over the Luo Family Army! In this way, Chu Chengjin will lose all support and be completely isolated and helpless!"
The prince's face became more and more gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice: "Mother, you really shouldn't use poisoned wine to kill the An family. Doing so not only ruins my plan, but also makes things more difficult. If we keep An Qinghuan, she will become a powerful tool for us to control the King of Qin!"
A sly light flashed in Li Mingfu's eyes. He rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of a good idea. He said softly, "The King of Qin is now in the distant Jianchuan, and Kong Luanying is ours. As long as we make proper arrangements, the King of Qin will definitely not know that An Qinghuan is dead."
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This prince has sent someone to inform Kong Luanying, asking her to find a suitable time to poison the King of Qin, and make sure that the King of Qin has no chance to return to the capital alive!"
Li Mingfu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He knew the prince's wisdom and decisiveness very well, and believed that as long as he acted according to the plan, he would succeed.
So, he bowed respectfully to the Crown Prince and said, "I will follow your Highness's arrangements and I will fully cooperate."
The prince nodded and looked out the window again, as if he could see the future through the darkness. He knew that this power struggle had just begun, and the road ahead was full of difficulties and challenges. But he firmly believed that as long as they persevered to the end, the final victory would belong to them.
The next morning, before daybreak, a secret guard hurried to Kong Boda with a letter and handed it to him. Kong Boda looked at the letter in his hand, his heart full of expectation and joy. He carefully held the letter and came to the gate of the East Palace.
After entering the East Palace, Kong Boda looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one noticed him, he quietly walked into the room where the prince was. He respectfully handed the letter to the prince and whispered, "Your Highness! Luanying's letter!"
The prince eagerly took the letter and couldn't wait to open it and read it. When he saw the contents of the letter, a satisfied and excited smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself: "Luanying did a great job!"
Then, he looked up at Kong Boda, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and asked, "Did Luanying's plan succeed?"
Kong Boda lowered his head and replied, "Yes, everything went smoothly according to Luanying's plan. Now, we can start with the General's Mansion!"
The prince nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Did your people put the evidence in?"
Kong Boda answered affirmatively: "The evidence has been put in! This time the general's mansion can't escape even if he has wings!"
Upon hearing the news, the prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that their plan was about to succeed and the General's Mansion would face a huge crisis.
The morning sun shines through the windows into the general's mansion, the house is filled with the aroma of food, and the family sits together to enjoy breakfast. However, this tranquility is soon broken.
Suddenly, a team of Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniforms and wearing embroidered spring swords on their waists broke into the general's mansion aggressively. The leader was the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Luo Lingzhang put down his chopsticks and asked calmly, "Commander, why did you come here in person?"
The commander of the Jinyiwei had a stern expression on his face. He held a piece of paper high in his hand and said in a loud voice, "Luo Lingzhang, accept the order!"
Luo Lingzhang stood up and knelt respectfully to listen to the order. Everyone in the general's mansion also knelt down.
