Chapter 1692: A Plan!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This is almost a very seamless ploy. It’s just that I still don’t know what Qu Xiao wants to do by making him disappear. If this had been taught by the chamberlain or some other lord, then Qu Xiao did not think this through. If this was the nine-year-old’s idea, then his brain should not be underestimated. But whether it was his idea or not, there must be a plan behind it.”

Jiang Yue said, “Isn’t he controlled by Xia Houzheng in Dongxiao? If he can’t be underestimated, his first move might be to get rid of Xia Houzheng. A subject will be a subject and an Emperor will be an Emperor.

“If that was the case, then his diplomatic team to Da Ling might not have been arranged by the regent, Xia Houzheng, but he had come on his own accord. Xia Houzheng wanted him dead, so he naturally agreed. After all, Xia Houzheng was in charge of Dongxiao. If he wanted to have a chance of survival, he had to leave Dongxiao first. He had to leave Xia Houzheng’s sight before he could plan something. However, he was not enough to defeat him.

“He had come to Da Ling because he needed Da Ling’s help. If that was the case, even if he disappeared, he would make his way to you. No matter what, you are Da Ling’s Emperor. He would want to talk to you. His disappearance might symbolize something.

“Without a doubt, there must be Xia Houzheng’s people in the diplomatic team. As long as he stays in the diplomatic team, it’s no different from staying under Xia Houzheng’s nose.”

“That’s right.” Xue Yan nodded. “It’s good that he disappeared. At least he’s safer. If he stays on the diplomatic team, there are people in the diplomatic team who want to kill him. Even if he didn’t come up with this idea himself, he should still follow the instructions of an expert. Since he’s already in Da Ling, he won’t go back just like that. He’ll look for me. Since he dared to disappear from the diplomatic team, he must have a way to find me. We don’t have to look for him, we just have to wait for him to come to us.”

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.

“But the searching still needs to be done.” Then, he looked at the Cloud Guard and instructed, “Go back tomorrow morning. Just pretend that you don’t know anything about this. Continue to look for the Emperor. Don’t pay too much attention to those servants, lest they become suspicious.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Only then did the Cloud Guard carry out his orders.

Seeing that he had left, Jiang Yue said, “When we see him, we’ll observe him. If he’s here with good intentions and won’t harm Da Ling, we can help him. However, if he is like Xia Houzheng, he will not be saved. Even if he is a child, we don’t have to help him.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. He didn’t want to help the tiger.

In his memory, in his previous life, Xia Houzheng had usurped the throne and made the army attack Da Ling. In this life, he did not want to get rid of Xia Houzheng and have another Qu Xiao appear. Sooner or later, he would also harm Da Ling.

Therefore, he had to observe and make sure before deciding whether to help or not.

However, Xue Yan said, “This isn’t pretending to be dead. He’s making himself go missing so that even if the armies of the two countries confront each other at the border, they won’t be able to fight. He’s left some leeway.”

“It’s easier to talk to you if there’s leeway,” Jiang Yue said.

“That’s right.” Xue Yan nodded again. “As long as we don’t see his corpse, the two countries won’t be able to fight. In this case, the borders are still under martial law.”@@novelbin@@

“Of course,” Jiang Yue said.
