After Baishan left, the third prince wanted to see what the precious purse that was being sent around looked like, but before his eyes could get close to it, the purse disappeared.
When he looked again, he saw that it had been put away by Cui Ling.
The third prince curled his lips and was stingy. Who wanted to send this girl back just now? Now he couldn't even bear to look at it.
The chess game continues.
I don't know if Cui Ling's mind was not on this, but the third prince took the opportunity to eat a lot of his pieces.
"Back to business, Hanzhang, I actually have something to tell you today."
Cui Ling raised his eyes: "Your Highness, please speak."
The third prince thought about what his people had investigated, and his face became more solemn: "My people found that the eldest brother seems to be restless recently. He seems to have made new moves. I don't know if it has anything to do with Master Cui."
Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, knowing that this matter needed attention.
only……
"Father, there hasn't been much movement recently."
Cui Ling took advantage of being in the same mansion as Prime Minister Cui and monitored and inquired for information openly. Prime Minister Cui was so angry that his beard stood up, but he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit defeat.
His own son will take over the position of the head of the Cui family sooner or later. What can he do?
After all, Prime Minister Cui was not as supportive of the eldest prince as everyone thought. He and Cui Ling were betting on both sides. Whoever wins would not affect the Cui family's future. As for restoring the family's glory, it was just a distant obsession.
The third prince frowned, that was strange.
Cui Ling: "Your Highness, you might as well make it clearer."
The third prince calmed down and said calmly: "My people have found out that the eldest brother is going to Yuhua Villa tomorrow."
"Yuhua Villa?" Cui Ling knew that place, his eyes became darker, and he sneered, "You are still restless after being grounded. The eldest prince is just relying on the fact that he has not completely lost the favor of the Holy Emperor and is so unscrupulous."
His Majesty personally ordered him to shut up and think about it for half a year, but he didn't even take it seriously and ran to the outskirts of Beijing. He was really brave.
The third prince agreed: "Just in time, this is also our opportunity."
If the previous assassination of Taolin only made the Holy Emperor disappointed with the eldest prince, then coupled with this contempt for the Holy Yu and the evidence they have collected for so long, it is enough to make him the candidate for successor. No matter how optimistic the view is, confinement is not enough. It's not impossible.
In particular, interfering with the salt tax is simply an attack on Tai Sui's head.
Cui Ling reminded him once before he broke up with the eldest prince. At that time, he took advantage of the eldest prince's panic and got a lot of evidence.
Also a few days ago, Su Yu came to see him, but Bai Shan persuaded him to leave on the pretext that he wanted to recuperate and refused to see guests. In fact, he was not in the courtyard at all. Instead, he took this opportunity to minimize the eldest prince's vigilance against him and secretly collected the information from the eldest prince. Evidence of the prince’s guilt.
Of course, the price is that the injury has not been completely healed until now.
In short, in the past few years, they have mastered a lot of things, enough to hold the eldest prince to death in the palace hall.
Cui Ling said thoughtfully: "I'll go over and have a look tomorrow."
I haven't had anything to do lately, so it's okay to go over there and take a look, just to relax.
Otherwise, he would unconsciously think of Su Yu when he was free, and when he thought of her, he would feel depressed.
The third prince shook his head: "Hanzhang misunderstood. What I meant was that we would do it tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became serious.
Cui Ling did not object immediately, but asked: "Your Highness, have you thought about it?"
The third prince nodded: "The eldest brother has just been punished by his father, so it is time to let down his guard, and the aftermath of the last incident has not yet passed, so while the anger in my father's heart is still lingering, he can kill him with one strike. This is an opportunity not to be missed. "
Cui Ling thought about the feasibility of this matter: "It is possible, but His Highness cannot come forward in this matter."
The third prince nodded: "I know, I will select some of the evidence and leak it to others. They should want to bring down the eldest brother more than me."
Since ancient times, the eldest prince has been the target of public criticism.
On the surface, the third prince was still mediocre, weak and unloved, the person least likely to inherit the throne.
Cui Ling understood: "Your Highness, it's good that you have an idea."
After a while, Cui Ling thought: "It will be a long night and many dreams. Don't wait for tomorrow."
Third Prince: "?"
"I will sort out the evidence tonight, and His Highness will find trustworthy people to distribute it to the other princes. They will definitely go to the palace overnight to face the saint. Tomorrow, I will find someone to report the eldest prince's private departure from the capital. Taking this opportunity, I will The salt tax issue will also be exposed, and if nothing else, part of the power to inspect the eldest prince will fall on me."
Cui Ling didn't dare to guarantee it, but he was still 70% sure.
"Although there is only a part of it, there are still many operable areas, enough to bring down the eldest prince."
The plan is very rough and there are no loopholes.
But what matters is a quick fix. As long as others cannot react, the loophole is no longer a loophole.
As for the rough plan, we will slowly discuss and polish it as we go along.
The third prince's eyes gradually brightened.
As expected of Cui's Qilinzi, as soon as he stood up, Cui Ling automatically completed the next steps.
"I can hold my head like a fish in water."
The two men's plan was vaguely revealed to Baishan, and Baishan was stunned.
Why does it feel weird? I just found out what my cousin was thinking this morning, and I'm going to kill my lover tonight. Isn't it really a coincidence?
Are you sure the young master is not avenging his private revenge?
Cui Ling remained calm until the next day when he received the news that Su Yu had gone to Yuhua Villa.
"What did you say? Where did she go?" Cui Ling's expression suddenly changed and her expression was horrifying.
…
Su Yu got on the carriage heading to Yuhua Villa.
She was bored and propped up her chin, lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
After passing through the busy city, the surrounding scenery gradually opened up. The mountains in the distance were green, and farmers in the nearby fields were sowing seeds. The scene was completely different from that in the Zhumen Courtyard. It was green and full of vitality.
The task progress bar slowly moved forward a few bars after Su Yu came to the door yesterday to apologize (cross out).
...Then it stopped moving again, like squeezing out toothpaste.
We still have to rely on the eldest prince for help.
In fact, the system doesn't understand something: [The eldest prince liked the host very much before, and was jealous of the male protagonist because of you. Why did he suddenly invite the host to that villa now? 】
The women raised in that villa are all low-status people, either bought or given by others, and they will be fine no matter what the eldest prince does.
But behind Su Yu is someone from the Cui Mansion. Even if she is just a cousin, she cannot be belittled at will.
Not to mention that his previous behavior was obviously to take Su Yu as his concubine, not as a plaything.
So the system feels weird.
Su Yu had some vague guesses.
[The eldest prince is not very sincere to begin with, so it is not difficult to understand why he suddenly changed his mind. 】
Mountains and streams are easy to rise and easy to retreat, and small people's hearts are easy to return to.
It just so happened that Su Yu was not sincere either.
Two people without sincerity are just trying to get what they need.
She needs the eldest prince to help her stimulate the male protagonist. The eldest prince should also need her to vent his unhappiness at being plotted by Cui Ling. No one is nobler than the other.
I don’t know if the person she stayed in the house to report the news reached the male protagonist’s ears.
