Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Your Highness, Cui Jian, the young master of the Cui family, is clamoring outside to see Your Highness." A servant came to report.
Yao Fei, a subordinate of Prince Jing, said, "How dare people from the Cui family come to Prince Jing's Mansion? Your Highness, I think there is no need to see Cui Jian. It's definitely not good for Cui Jian to come to Prince Jing's Mansion at this time."
Prince Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Cui Guo is very patient, but it's a pity that the young master of the Cui family is never as good as his father."
"Your Highness, do you want to see him?" Yao Fei said.
"See, why not? After all, he is the son of the Minister of Rites, the son of the uncle of the state. If you don't see me, wouldn't it seem very rude to me." Prince Jing said with a smile, "Invite him in."
"Prince Jing, what grudge does our Cui family have against you? Why did you harm our Cui family so much?" Cui Jian said loudly as soon as he saw Prince Jing.
"Cousin Cui, what are you talking about? When have I ever harmed your Cui family?" Prince Jing said with a smile.
"Don't call me cousin. I only recognize one cousin, and that's the prince!" Cui Jian snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know that the trouble the seventh princess is causing our Cui family is all your fault."
Prince Jing smiled and said, "The reason why the Seventh Princess is causing trouble for your Cui family is because your father proposed that she go to Beiyan to get married. As my royal sister, I have always had a bad temper. What does this have to do with me?"
"Prince Jing, we plain people don't tell secrets. Everyone knows what caused this incident. However, I can ignore all this. I just want Li Qi'an to die!" Cui Jian said the last word, with a stern expression flashing across his face. .
"Why do you want Li Qian to die?" Prince Jing looked at Cui Jian with interest.
"Aren't you asking knowingly? Who is behind the seventh princess? Isn't it Li Qian? When it comes to Li Qian, not only my father is afraid, but even the queen's aunt is afraid. He is also a human being. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, he killed the prince. How can I, Cui Jian, not avenge this?" Cui Jian said through gritted teeth. .z.
Prince Jing took a light sip of tea and said, "It seems that Cousin Cui and the Prince are really close cousins, but the Prince's death seems to have something to do with me."
"I know it has something to do with you, but Li Qi'an is the real culprit. He has a feud with the prince a long time ago. You are just taking advantage of this." Cui Jian said.
Prince Jing put down the tea cup and smiled, "It seems that Cousin Cui is a sensible person. Therefore, Cousin Cui is not here to trouble me this time, but to ask me to help you."
"Don't you want Li Qi'an to die?" Cui Jian said, "I know that our Cui family cannot stand on your side in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, but this does not mean that we cannot cooperate. I just want Li Qi'an to die, and who will be the emperor in the future? , it’s not important to me at all.”
"I'm curious. There shouldn't be any deep hatred between you and Li Qian. Even if he was instigating the Seventh Princess behind his back, you shouldn't be so murderous towards him," Prince Jing said.
"It's very simple. He killed Dou Huaishan. Everyone thinks he is not easy to mess with and difficult to kill. But if he dies in my hands, what will those people think of me?" Cui Jian said.
"I understand, some are doing it for fame, some are doing it for profit. You are doing it for fame. If you kill Li Qi'an, your reputation will surpass that of your father. If anyone mentions you Cui Jian again, they will be more afraid of you than Li Qi'an." Prince Jing smiled and said, "You are no longer simply the son of the Minister of Rites, the son of the uncle, or the young master of the Cui family, but you are someone who can surpass Li Qian!"
"But why should I help you? Have I ever said that I want Li Qian to die?" Then, Prince Jing's smile faded and the conversation changed.
Cui Jian was startled, "What do you mean? Since I'm here to find you, I won't let you help me in vain. As long as Li Qian dies, your fight for the right to be the heir will be much smoother. Sooner or later, I will be the head of the Cui family. When I say I support someone, they don’t dare to object.”
Prince Jing shook his head, "I am thinking of my cousin. Regardless of whether you recognize me as my cousin or not, I have to advise you. You can kill anyone. Killing Li Qian is asking for death!"
"Hmph, don't use these words to provoke me. I see in your heart that you wish I would kill Li Qian. In this way, your plan to be a woman will succeed. Do you think I am here to beg you today? I am here to tell you, Our Cui family is finished, and you can’t even think about it easy!”
After Cui Jian finished speaking, he left angrily.
"Your Highness, this Cui Jiante is so ungrateful. Do you want me to teach him a lesson?" Yao Fei said.
"No, it's not that he is ungrateful, but he has evil intentions!" Prince Jing said.
