"Prince..." Lu Xianting's eyes narrowed slightly. He and his sister had previously suspected that there was a reason for Han Xiang'er's sudden appearance, and they also suspected that there was support behind Han Xiang'er, but they did not expect that the person who arranged for her to enter the palace was actually the prince Xiao Changgong!
Well, Xiao Changgong, it seems that the father-son disagreement with the Emperor is just a facade, and they were all blinded by the appearance of the disagreement between the Crown Prince and the Emperor. They never thought that Xiao Changgong would make such a move, clearly not getting along with the Emperor, and arranging women behind his back.
Get close to the emperor and blow his pillow!
No wonder the emperor always compromised on the prince's insistence. Even if he disagreed with the prince, he never thought of abolishing the prince, and even entrusted the prince with important responsibilities again and again!
Thinking of this, Lu Xianting had to admit that the prince Xiao Changgong was a thoughtful person. It is no wonder that in these years without the support of his natal family, he was more and more valued by the emperor and was finally established as the prince!
It would be fine to say that Xiao Changgong was attracted by the Fan Yang Lu family, but not only did he turn a blind eye to their wooing, he even got closer and closer to the Zhaojun Li family...
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have heard about something!" Lu Xianting, the Duke of Lu, reported another report from his subordinates.
Lu Xianting came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Speak quickly!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been secretly investigating the assassination of Princess Yong'an and the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty recently. I don't know if he has found any clues. He has also visited Chen Guogong several times..."
"What did you say?" Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Lu Xianting's eyes widened, he suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up and asked sternly.
"My subordinates are not sure, but the prince has always attached great importance to the Li family of Zhaojun. In addition, the prince and Li Yuanzhe have close contacts. I am worried that sooner or later, the prince will find out about the incident of Chen Guogong being imprisoned..."
Lu Xianting's expression was uncertain. His sister had lost power in the palace. If the prince really found out the truth about that year, not only would his position as Duke be in jeopardy, but the entire Fanyang Lu family would also be in danger!
It seems that he can no longer hesitate any longer. If the prince is allowed to ascend the throne smoothly, everything he has worked so hard for will come to nothing!
"Yuan Bin, please send someone to inform Concubine Lu, tell her this matter, and then start preparing everything according to our previous plan..." Lu Xianting ordered his subordinates in a deep voice.
Yuan Bin looked stern, nodded quickly and replied: "I know, I will do it now!"
Concubine Lu, who was waiting for news from Duke Lu in the cold palace, heard everything Caiyan reported, and the tea cup in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Sure enough, he is the prince, I should have known about it a long time ago!" Concubine Lu said through gritted teeth and slammed her fist on the table.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? If the prince finds out that we framed the queen, then..." Caiyan said worriedly, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Concubine Lu waving her hand.
"Now that things have come to this, of course we have to eradicate them. Since they are not for our use, we don't have to show mercy!" Lu Guifei's lips curled up into a sneer, with a murderous intention in her eyes.
When Caiyan saw Concubine Lu's expression, she already knew what Concubine Lu was thinking, and her body trembled suddenly.
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots... If he were discovered, it would be a crime of beheading!
"Your Majesty, maybe we have other ways..." Caiyan said hesitantly. Concubine Lu shook her head and said coldly: "No, this is the only way!"
