Chapter 689 - -Jiang Fei is poisoned, Zi ’er returns
I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
She watched him express his worries.
âIf we cause public anger, or if that person in the palace gets angry, it wonât be good for us.â
âNo! Youâre wrong. â The ninth Prince shook his head.
âAs long as great Xiaâs Foundation is not in turmoil and the Army is not in chaos, the situation will always be in fatherâs control. Even the open and secret fights between us are all under his control. If he had opened his mouth, he could have stopped us with a divine decree, but he didn ât. â
He paused for a moment.
He looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
âSuch a big thing has happened this time, yet Imperial father didnât even send a single person. Do you still not understand the deep meaning behind this?â
âIs he acquiescing to it?â Cui zhangyun asked.
âYes.â The ninth Prince nodded.
âIf it wasnât for this, he would have already sent people to beat them up, and there wouldnât have been no news at all.â
âBut if we do that, wonât they join forces against us?â Cui zhangyun said.
...
âEven if we donât do this, they will still join forces to deal with us!â The ninth Prince sneered.
âHowever, when you do it, you must have a goal and a plan. You must deal with a few of them, and then deliberately let one or two go. In this way, the people who suffered heavy losses would definitely feel unbalanced and suspicious when they saw that the other princes âproperties were safe and sound. Think about it, I canât even protect myself now. If I spread the news to the outside world and busy myself with the marriage, I canât care about anything else, including the death of Taoist master Xuan Xin. â
He took a sip of tea and continued.
âThe first impression will leave an impression in their hearts. This Prince has put down everything to ensure that this marriage will pass safely before investigating this matter. âThis way, my suspicion will be reduced to the minimum. Even if they suspect me, they wonât continue to attack me. At this time, their attention will be drawn to the Prince, whose property is intact. â
âWonderful! Itâs really wonderful. â Cui zhangyun praised.
âThis way, no one will suspect us.â
âThis is only the first step.â The ninth Princeâs face was dark as he clenched his fists.
âWhen the rat plague spreads and the capital is in chaos, it will be time for us to kill them with a borrowed knife and get rid of them one by one. When that time comes, weâll be the biggest winners if we plan well. â
âWhat if the rat plague canât be controlled?â
âI won ât!â The ninth Prince was certain.
âDonât underestimate the people from the spirit gods Department. They have many tricks up their sleeves. When the situation becomes irredeemable, father will let them take action.â
âI understand!â Cui zhangyun nodded his head heavily.
âYour Highness, please rest assured. This matter will be done very discreetly and no one will be able to detect it.â
âYes.â The ninth Prince replied.
After discussing for a while more and perfecting the entire plan, cui Changyun finally took his leave.
âMen, come.â
Aunt Xue pushed the door open and walked in from outside.
âYour Highness!â
The matter had been successfully concealed, and her tensed heart could finally be completely relaxed.
âPrepare a palanquin. Iâm going to the palace to meet the Emperor.â
âNow?â
âNot bad!â The ninth Prince nodded.
âI have just discussed with cui zhangyun. Three days later is an auspicious day to marry the eldest daughter of the cui family, cui Xiuqing.â
âSo fast? But the marriage hasnât been decided yet?â
âItâs a critical moment, so some common customs can be avoided. â
âItâs Your Highness! This servant will go and arrange it. â Aunt Xue replied respectfully and turned to leave.
After a while.
The news that the ninth Prince had entered the palace and asked Emperor Sheng Wen to give an order to marry the eldest daughter of the cui family in three days spread in the capital. All forces had received the news.
The entire mansion was bustling with activity. Some were cleaning, some were decorating, and some were making purchases. Everyoneâs face was filled with joy.
At night.
Granny Hong returned with news that the second Princeâs concubine, Jiang Fei, had been captured.
âReally?â The ninth Princeâs eyes lit up.
âYes.â Granny red nodded.
âLetâs go!â The ninth Prince called out.
He walked into the study and lifted the painting hanging on the wall. He pressed on the plum blossom and the wall opened, revealing a secret passage that led directly to a large courtyard of the brocade workshop.
This courtyard was also his property, but no one lived here. It was still under someone elseâs name, in case of any accidents.
After changing into a set of night-traveling clothes, they brought along granny red. It was just the two of them, and they didnât bring anyone else.
After leaving this place, under granny Redâs lead, they rushed towards the secret stronghold in the north of the city.
At this point.
He entered the room and saw Jiang Fei tied up on the bed with her eyes covered. The ninth Princeâs face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with the joy of revenge.
âGo outside and stand guard.â The ninth Princeâs voice changed.
âYes.â Granny red agreed.
He left the bedroom and stood guard outside.
The ninth Prince walked over and looked at Jiang Fei with a wicked smile. He thought viciously, you forced me to do this!
Chi!
With a violent tug, Jiang Feiâs clothes were torn apart.
At this time, Jiang Fei had just woken up and saw that someone was touching her. Her eyes were covered, her mouth was gagged, and her hands and feet were tied up. She couldnât move even if she wanted to.
Her heart was filled with fear, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
She struggled with all her might, but no matter how hard she tried, there was no effect.
