Hearing Li Xingchen's question, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie were startled for a moment, and then Pei Zilie said in a deep voice:
"It seems that in the eyes of the Chen brothers, what happened to them on Stone Mountain and what happened to them later in Gutong Lane were all framed by His Highness Lechang, all because His Highness Lechang exaggerated and slandered in front of His Majesty..."
··”
"Those two people did speak rudely to His Highness Lechang." Xiao Shilian also showed a look of surprise.
"So they may have wronged His Highness Lechang, Shizhong, what do you mean?" Shen Jungao walked out and gently rubbed his chin.
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Since they have been unjustly accused, why not guide them to continue to regard His Highness Lechang as the person who framed and slandered them? In this way, His Highness Lechang will have to side with the East Palace even if he does not want to.
"
Shen Jungao had a look of intolerance on his face. Lechang was the princess he was most familiar with. Although this girl was smart, she had always been kind. If she followed Li Xingchen's approach, although it wouldn't be considered pushing her into a pit of fire, she would still be forced to do something difficult.
a feeling of.
However, whether it is Shen Jungao, Fu Wei, Zhou Que or others, they all know that what Li Xingchen proposed is actually the best option. After all, only if Donggong can control at least one of these two variables can it be possible to stabilize the situation, even if
There is no way to completely eliminate the power of the Yangzhou governor. As long as it can support Chen Shubao until Chen Shubao ascends the throne, the East Palace will actually win.
What's more, Donggong and Yangzhou Governor have fought against each other many times now, and Donggong has always been in a defensive posture. The several suppressions against Yangzhou Governor should actually be said to be made by Chen Xu, not Donggong.
No matter how powerful the defense line is in the world, it will be broken one day. If Donggong continues like this, it is inevitable that there will be tricks and flaws exposed, which will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of, or it may end up being exposed due to lack of enterprising spirit.
Xu abandoned.
So now the East Palace needs to counterattack and attack. The figure of Chen Bogu who returned from defeat today undoubtedly told Shen Jungao and others that they can only take action if they first ensure that these possible variables will not disrupt the overall situation. Otherwise, no one will know the end result.
Will it be "fetching water from a bamboo basket but in vain"?
"Let's go back, let's wait until tomorrow..." Shen Jungao said after thinking, "Didn't brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng say they want to side with the East Palace? This time can be regarded as giving them a chance.
"
Li Xingchen nodded and subconsciously looked at the window on the second floor again. Although he knew very well that there was no one behind the window, he still couldn't help but be driven by his heart.
He didn't know what he felt about the girl who had helped him and left a graceful silhouette. Maybe he liked her, or maybe he just admired her.
Just as it is said in "The Theory of Love and Lotus", this lotus-like woman emerges from the mud but remains unsullied. She can be viewed from a distance but cannot be played with.
But now Li Xingchen, regardless of whether he has other thoughts about her, will resolutely drag Lechang into the water. For Donggong, this variable must be in hand. Even in the hearts of Shen Jun and others, it can directly or indirectly affect Chen
Xu’s Princess Lechang is even more important than Chen Shubao.
After all, the entire East Palace is completely different from the Yangzhou Governor's side. The ones who are really rolling up their sleeves on the front line are Shen Jungao and the others, while Chen Shubao seems to be an idler in the entire duel. Even now, Kong Fan and others are still accompanying him as usual.
Composing poems and traveling around mountains and rivers, these undercurrents that were constantly surging in Jiankang Mansion seemed to have little to do with him.
Of course, for Shen Jungao and others, although Chen Shubao like this is not as good as Chen Shuling, it is not too bad. It is better than the master who knows nothing and gives blind orders. Chen Shubao is a trustworthy one for them——
It may be the same for others - this also gives them a lot of leeway, whether it is the manpower or resources of the East Palace, they can mobilize them at will.
In this way, Shen Jungao, Zhou Que and others would naturally be happy to do this.
Facts have also proved that even without Chen Shubao, Shen Jungao and others can still manage the East Palace in an orderly manner, and can compete with the Yangzhou governor without falling behind.
And now if there is one more Lechang, it means that the East Palace will have the upper hand.
"Brother, let's go!" Li Lian'er tugged on Li Xingchen's sleeves. Obviously, the scene and atmosphere in the Jubaozhai made her not want to stay any longer, not to mention that she had been out for a day, and Li Lian'er was also a little tired.
.
Li Xingchen said "Ah", then realized that he was distracted, and nodded hurriedly and solemnly.
However, Lechang's figure was like a cloud of smoke swirling around his heart, lingering.
At the same time, there was also the "Picture of Ladies" that Yang Min had collected tonight. For some unknown reason, this picture always appeared in front of Li Xinchen's eyes. He vaguely felt,
I will see this picture again.
————————————————
"Picture of Ladies" slowly unfolded under the candlelight. The dim light illuminated this scroll that had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs. The ladies on it were as lifelike as before, and Yang Min's seal on the scroll was shrouded in the candlelight.
, particularly eye-catching.
Although some people are still alive, they are already dead; while some people are already dead, but still alive in another way. Perhaps Yang Min belongs to the latter category. Even twenty years later, this era still remembers
Hold him.
Her slender fingers gently placed on the scroll, slid over it slowly, and reluctantly picked it up after a moment. Lechang sat in front of the desk and looked at the scroll.
In Jubaozhai, perhaps because he was temporarily excited, or perhaps because he really didn't want to watch the East Palace and Yangzhou governor fight over this scroll, Lechang made up his mind to buy the scroll.
Ten thousand guan is not a small price for some wealthy families, but after all, Lechang is not a family behind him, but a royal family. Ten thousand guan is nothing, and Chen Xu, who has always doted on his daughter, will not frown at this.
one time.
Therefore, what really worries Lechang is not the money issue - to be honest, even if she really wants to default on her debt, Xu Ling will not be stupid enough to ask for money, and may even do a smooth favor on this.
Xu Ling, an old fox, knew very well - it was the intrigue hidden behind this picture.
The trap set by Xu Ling, Chen Bogu's all-out effort, Shen Jungao's unyielding attitude... all kinds of people representing different forces and interests, fighting for wits and courage in the flickering lights.
Today is because I have myself, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Looking at "Pictures of Ladies", Lechang felt more and more that he should have a chat with his father. What on earth is his father thinking now? Does he really want to watch his two brothers fight and lose both sides?
Just when Lechang was thinking a lot, a "boom" of thunder exploded from the window!
Princess Lechang trembled slightly, sat up straight, and subconsciously looked out the window.
The rain was falling all over the city, and the bright moon in the sky had disappeared, replaced by dazzling lightning.
