Chapter 2041 The eldest princess who escaped death (53)
Ye Feng had long forgotten his anger and sat there blankly, looking at Chen Yuantao without saying a word.
"Before Gao Changyu was beheaded, I took the opportunity to arrange for someone to see him and learned a piece of news from him. When Pei Shengqin was captured and interrogated, someone gave him poisoned food. Gao Changyu did think about poisoning Pei Shengqin first.
He will die, but not so quickly. He never thought that just as this matter was being discussed, someone pretending to be a member of the Gao family would do it."
"The second prince is not a fool. He should understand that the person pretending to be the Gao family poisoned the food. He definitely did not want to poison Pei Shengqin to death. He wanted to sow an alliance between Pei Shengqin and the Gao family. After Pei Shengqin was poisoned, his psychological defense collapsed, so he
All the matters have been settled.”
"In addition, there are many things in those confessions that Pei Shengqin should not know, but they were all confessed by him. I guess that this confession was prepared by someone in advance and fell on Pei Shengqin's head. As long as you have these confessions, Your Majesty can
Directly order all the Gao family members to be imprisoned, and then follow the investigation so that no one from the Gao family can escape."
"The news that Ye Zhi captured Pei Shengqin came out at noon, and the Gao family was thrown into jail in the afternoon. Who can react to this?" Chen Yuantao's face was dark, "This is simply a trap for the Gao family."
"Similarly, His Majesty is also warning us."
"A mere Ye Zhi can't hinder anything at all. It's nothing to worry about." Chen Yuantao said with a nonchalant expression, "What's really scary is His Majesty's attitude. Now Ye Zhi is basically a knife in his hand. Wherever he points, Ye Zhi will go.
Where to fight."
Ye Feng already understood, but he was still unwilling in his heart: "But now Ye Zhi is the crown prince. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he will be the candidate for that position in the future."
"How many years have it been since then?" Chen Yuantao said, "His Majesty is in good health, and he is basically being treated once a day, which shows that there are still many years left. Ye Zhi is his knife now, but everyone has desires, and desires will get worse.
As you get older, you will slowly want more power. Your Majesty is not a broad-minded person. Once he feels that someone is threatening his position, that person will be unlucky, even if it is Ye Zhi."
"What does grandpa mean?"
"Obviously you don't like Ye Zhi, so you can fight him casually without getting serious. If His Majesty likes it, just show it to him. The better you fight, the more satisfied he will be. However,
If you want to fight Ye Zhi, you can't fight for no reason, you must find a legitimate reason, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, you will be unreasonable and ruin your reputation."
Ye Feng suddenly felt like he had been subverted, and his mood was complicated for a moment.
"Grandpa, what you mean is that my father actually doesn't love Ye Zhi as much as he thought?"
"I don't know, but compared with power, power is definitely the most important."
It is said that the heart of a king is unpredictable, and Chen Yuantao could not guarantee whether Ye Gong truly loved Ye Zhi, his son, or whether he was just using him.
"Then this is all we can do?" Ye Feng was still very unwilling in his heart.
A trace of sinisterness flashed in Chen Yuantao's eyes: "Of course not. It wouldn't hurt to fight casually in the open. It's better to have this contest in secret."
"Your Majesty uses Ye Zhi's knife. We can't let this knife chop randomly. We have to find a way to point this knife at His Majesty."
"Power and beauty are the easiest things to make people lose their way."
It's not a good thing for Ye Gong to live too long. Even if Ye Zhi can wait, they can't wait.
Ye Gong used Ye Zhi to beat them, why couldn't they use Ye Zhi to beat him?
Ye Feng immediately understood that Chen Yuantao had already planned to deal with Ye Zhi, and felt a little more comfortable.
