new that their Queen had always wanted to help the Northern Frontier King in this chaotic world.So when the princess spoke these words, she even suspected that the princess might want to do something...."!" Xiaoqin almost couldn't help but grin when she saw that he had agreed so readily.
Thinking about having to keep up the pretense of anger, she deliberately pursed her lips and looked at him, signaling for him to continue.
Ye Er knew she was truly curious about how the emperor would deal with the Princess of Beijiang, so she didn't hide anything from her at this moment.
"The Emperor does indeed want to find an excuse to control the North Frontier Princess, but she has been well-behaved and shown nothing amiss since arriving in the capital. It won't be easy for him to find a suitable pretext."
"Cheng Ru'er's death is a good starting point. There were many witnesses to the fact that King Beijang killed Cheng Ru'er himself, and he can't get away with it."
And while the King of Beijang is currently leading his troops to counter the Red Nation's army, the Emperor naturally cannot do anything to the King of Beijang at this crucial juncture. So the Emperor's blade naturally points towards the most easily dealt with target: the Princess Consort of Beijang.
"The North Frontier Princess is right here in the capital. In the emperor's eyes, the King of the North Frontier is leading troops abroad and can't attend to the princess for a while. So now is undoubtedly the best time for him to seize the princess."
“Today, the Emperor's intention is to use the Cheng family's clamor to condemn the Prince of Beijiang. After the Cheng family cries out, the Fourth Prince will appear in time, acting as a supporter for the Cheng family, and declare that the current head of the Prince of Beijiang's household is Princess Beijiang, who should enter the palace for the Emperor to personally investigate.”
"And the Emperor had already laid a net of heaven and earth within the palace. As long as the Princess of Beijiang entered the palace, the Emperor would surely make it impossible for her to leave."
“Once the Princess of Beijang is under our control, our plan will proceed smoothly. The Emperor fears that if King Beijang repels the Red Nation's army, he will develop the hundred thousand troops in Youlan City into a Northern Border Army. As it stands, the Northern Border Army already disobeys the Emperor. If those soldiers in Youlan City are swayed by King Beijang, the Emperor's reign may very well be overthrown.”
“The Emperor understood King Beijang well. He knew that King Beijang valued sentiment deeply; as long as his Queen was in his hands, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.”
"For these reasons, the Emperor would only feel at ease if he could capture and control the Princess of Beijiang."
"Actually, besides these events today, the Emperor also spent a lot of money to hire many martial arts masters from the rivers and lakes. These masters are lurking near the Beijang Prince's Mansion. Once they find an opportunity, they will attack the Princess of Beijang."
"It's just that they have been lurking for many days, unable to break into the Beijang Wangfu, let alone catch a glimpse of the Beijang Wangfei."
"... Xiaofen listened, listening, anger surged in her heart. This bastard emperor was simply shameless."
On one hand, Bei Jiang Wang had to risk his life to protect the territory of Tian Ba Guo. On the other hand, he was plotting to kill everyone in Bei Jiang Wang Fu.
This dog emperor, he's really good at scheming!
“Xiao Qin could be seen gritting her teeth, her face dark. Ye Er shook his head and added, “But Your Highness, there’s no need to worry so much. The Princess Consort of Beijang is a smart woman. She should be very clear about her current predicament, which isn't optimistic at all, so she hardly ever leaves the mansion.”
"Especially with so many capable people around her, they all know how to protect the Princess of Beijiang well. The Prince's Manor is heavily guarded, and the experts hired by the Emperor at a high price died many, but none of them managed to break into the Prince's Manor of Beijiang."
Xiaoqin's brows furrowed tightly. She knew the Beijiang Wangfu was heavily guarded, but thinking about so many masters outside the palace attempting to break in made her worried.
After all, the current princess is pregnant. Once those experts find the princess, if the people in the Prince's Mansion are not careful, wouldn't it be easy for the princess to be captured
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Ye Er, "So today the Cheng family was making a fuss outside the palace, and Mo Yunze insisted on having the Northern Border Princess come out to see him. Could it be that they wanted to lure the Northern Border Princess out of the palace so they could attack"
As for this, Ye Er really knew something about it. He nodded slightly, "Indeed, quite a few masters are lurking outside the palace today, all waiting for the Princess to appear."
“Today, the people lurking outside the palace are not just the masters hired previously. According to the Emperor's intention, two days ago, he should have hired a lot of masters from the Western Regions for a hefty sum. Those Westerners are skilled in using poisons and have excellent light skills. They don't stand a chance if they directly break into the palace, but once the princess leaves the palace, with their poisons and light skills, it wouldn't be difficult to capture her.”
"!"
As expected, this dog emperor is truly insidious. It turns out he has such a backup plan besides the Cheng family and Mo Yunze.
Once again, a visitor from the Western Regions has arrived. Fortunately, Princess of Beijiang is not present today, otherwise wouldn't she have fallen into the Emperor's trap
Now that she thinks about it, she's a little scared.
The situation of the princess from Beijiang is too dangerous.
After Ye Er finished speaking, he didn't know what he was thinking about. His brow furrowed instantly, "The fact that the emperor spent a lot of money to find experts from the Western Regions is known to only two people in the entire palace besides me."
""
Xiaoqin looked up at him, her eyes full of confusion. The Emperor's affairs were known only to those the Emperor trusted. What was the problem
Ye Er saw the confusion in her eyes and knew she didn't understand what he meant. He went straight to the point, "The matter of the Western Region masters is unknown even to the Fourth Prince, but the Imperial Concubine favored by the Emperor knows."
Empress Hua!
Xiao Qin didn't quite understand. Hua Guifei was the emperor's woman, what did it matter to her
Ye Er suddenly thought, Xiao Qin was not an extremely trustworthy person to the Princess of Beijiang, so it was normal that she didn't know about Hua Gui Fei.
He explained directly, “Hua Guifei is the princess of Beijiang. I always thought that after Hua Guifei learned about the emperor’s plan, she would try to inform Princess Beijiang, but today's events make me suspect that Princess Beijiang doesn't know about the presence of Western Regions experts lurking outside the mansion.”
Otherwise, Yunsi would be impossible to leave the princess' side even a step. The maid by the princess's side who knows martial arts wouldn't have the leisure time to deal with Mo Yunze.
If word got out that a master from the Western Regions was focusing on Beijang王府, Yun Si and that maidservant would be worried that the disturbance at the manor was a diversionary tactic. They wouldn't want to risk exposing the incompetence of someone like Mo Yunze and the Cheng family women in order to protect the Crown Princess.
Because today, the Northern Border Princess never left the palace, he hadn't thought about this at all. It was only when talking with Xiaoqin that he remembered today the person he should have met was Yun Si and the maidservant who protected the Princess closely.
It seems that the people of Beijiang Wangfu are clearly unaware that there are Westerners watching them in secret.
How could this be
The emperor finding out about the Western Regions people, Noble Consort Hua knew about it before him. He always thought that since Noble Consort Hua was the Princess of Beijang, she should have informed the Princess beforehand.
But Concubine Hua didn't say anything. Could it be that she wasn't from the Empress's side Had he misunderstood
Or is it that Hua Guifei betrayed the Princess of Beijangevious actions were inappropriate. She hurriedly said, "I know, I know, I'll be more careful."Seeing his own princess displaying such an expression, Shou'er couldn't hold it in and let out a light chu...
