When Ji Yanchen returned to Xiyuan, Ye Feng was already waiting in the room.
Seeing him entering, Ye Feng quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness, it is said that Crown Prince Dongling has come to Yindu."
When Ji Yanchen saw him, his eyes darkened, "Yeah."
"My subordinates will immediately gather troops to assassinate the crown prince of Prince Dongling. Once the crown prince is dead, the other three princes will definitely think that the king cannot tolerate them. Then, the three parties will unite and attack the capital of Yin. Only then can we take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation." Ji Yanchen's handsome brows furrowed slightly, "Don't act rashly."
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, with some confusion in his eyes, "But, wasn't this His Highness's previous idea?"
Ji Yanchen lowered his eyes gently, "The Crown Prince of Dongling came to Yin because of the good pledge, but Gu Tingfang seems to have other plans."
"He seems to want to use the imperial concubine as bait to make Ling Ziyan make mistakes, and then take the opportunity to send troops to Dongling."
"No, Your Highness, if this is the case, once Dongling is gone, the other two vassal princes will not be able to defeat Gu Tingfang."
"Prince Dongling has always been cowardly and only wants to be wise and protect himself. Only when his son dies can he turn against the king." Ye Feng's voice was filled with a little urgency.
"No." Ji Yanchen flatly refused, "If we kill Prince Dongling at this time, we will be exposed."
Ye Feng suddenly became quiet.
For a moment, the huge room was silent.
After a long time, Ye Feng raised his head again, "It would be better to kill Yin Luzhu according to the plan previously formulated by His Highness, frame the blame on Gu Tingfang, and provoke a conflict between the Chu Xiang Palace and the royal family."
"No!"
Ji Yanchen suddenly stood up from the chair. His voice was low, almost angry, and the ends of his eyes were slightly red due to excitement.
"No one is allowed to act rashly without my order, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy."
Over the years, this is the first time Ye Feng has seen this kind of aura in Ji Yanchen, like an emperor sitting at the top, with a sharp aura that makes people want to surrender inexplicably.
Ye Feng lowered his head.
"It all depends on His Highness's orders."
Ji Yan's hanging heart slowly relaxed.
I have to admit that he entered the Chu Xiang Prince's Palace firstly to survive, and secondly to look for opportunities to assassinate Yin Luzhu, frame Gu Tingfang, and aggravate the conflict between the palace and the royal family.
But...
Thinking of Yin Luzhu, Ji Yanchen's eyes softened a little.
"It's just..." Ye Feng looked at Ji Yanchen doubtfully, "Is Your Highness worried about pregnancy?"
"The King of Chu Xiang, Yin Jingchao, knows that I am the crown prince of the previous dynasty. If something happens to Yin Luzhu, Yin Jingchao will immediately suspect me."
"Yin Jingchao is a cautious person. He will not easily doubt Gu Tingfang, nor will he completely destroy the hard-earned peace of the entire Da Yin for his own selfish interests."
Ye Feng frowned tightly, looking embarrassed.
"Then what should we do? Can we just wait? Your Highness!"
After a long silence, Ji Yanchen suddenly said: "Yin Luzhu seems to be more useful than imagined. I can try to get close to her."
Ye Feng's face was full of disapproval, "But Prince Yin's heart towards His Highness is not pure, and I don't want His Highness to be humiliated."
"It doesn't matter." Ji Yanchen flatly refused, "I'm free to make my own decision, just step back."
"Yes." Ye Feng responded and climbed out of the window. In an instant, Xiyuan became quiet, as if no one had ever been there.
Thinking of Yin Luzhu, Ji Yanchen's lips curled up unconsciously.
"Lulu." He murmured in a low voice, "Even the name is so cute."
