Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The night was as cold as ice, the cold wind howled outside the window, and several bright lights illuminated the study. Su Ying and Situ Jin were sitting at the table playing chess.

"Squeak!" Following the sound of the door opening, Mu Lin walked in from the outside and said respectfully: "Prince Qi, Princess, the news from Pingcheng is that the guard is dead, the second young master is safe and sound, and the plan is going smoothly. Today, the secret guard came to report that the prince had sent the guard camp to the East Palace. An hour later, the guard camp came out of the East Palace with a much lighter expression. The Su Mansion came to report that Concubine Su returned to the Su Mansion this afternoon and paid a special visit to Mr. Su San. He and the third lady asked about the second young master’s situation in Pingcheng.”

Su Ying picked up a white chess piece and placed it gently on the corner of the chessboard. Situ Jin saw her chess piece falling in an unrelated position and smiled: "Madam, are you giving in to your husband?"

Su Ying smiled tenderly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Your chess skills are not inferior to mine. There is no need to give in. Every chess piece on the chessboard...

It seems insignificant, but as long as you make good use of it and know how to assess the situation, it will naturally play its greatest role. Your Majesty may wish to take a closer look. "

Situ Jin glanced at the chessboard and suddenly smiled: "That's it."

"What? Do you have anything else to do?" Seeing that Mu Lin had not stepped back, Situ Jin raised his eyes and asked.

Mu Lin glanced at him and asked softly: "Replying to the prince, I just feel strange. The princess knows that Concubine Su knows the situation of the Su family. Why did she help Concubine Su get out of trouble last time in the Prince's Mansion? Now we have After killing Wei Ying’s most capable assistant, severely damaging the Wei family’s store in Pingcheng, the capital, and depleting most of the Wei family’s financial resources, why did the third lady let the third lady reveal Master Su’s situation in Pingcheng to the prince?”

Su Ying gently put down the chess piece in her hand and said calmly: "The East Palace is heavily guarded. The people in the East Palace, even the servants, were sent in after years of training by the Wei family. If we want to place people in the East Palace, it will be almost impossible. , Now the only person in the Su family who can contact the East Palace is Su Lian, so although Su Lian is an insignificant chess piece, it cannot be eliminated. Although she will not listen to me and is devoted to the prince, it does not mean that she cannot be used. "

Mu Lin scratched her head and said doubtfully: "But if Weiying and the prince know that the person who killed the guard is the second young master, then the second young master will not be in danger."

Situ Jin nodded with a smile and said: "Even if Su Lian doesn't tell, they will find out sooner or later. In that case, why not use Su Lian's mouth to send them the news we want them to know, so that we will not be passive, Su I have deployed manpower over there, and he will be fine. If the plan changes, we have countermeasures to deal with it. Our target this time is not the guards, but the guard camp. As long as they take the bait, the guard camp will definitely die."

"As soon as Wei Ying dies, Wang Hu will be the commander of the Kyoto Guard Camp. From then on, the Kyoto Guard Camp will no longer be the support of the Wei family, let alone the prince's talisman."

Mu Lin suddenly realized: "Wei Sheng and Wei Heng are in charge of the Wei family's financial resources, so the princess planned to kill Wei Heng so that the Wei family's shop would be unmanaged, and Huiniang and the second young master of the Su family could take advantage of this opportunity to encroach on Wei Heng." The family’s business has cut off the Wei family’s financial path.”

"With the Wei family's financial path cut off, the private soldiers raised by the second master of the Wei family are just a bunch of rabble-rousers who are looking for profit. Naturally, if there is no profit, no one will sincerely help them."

Su Ying smiled and said: "Let me just say that Mu Lin is smart, she can tell with just one point!"

Mu Lin smiled sheepishly and said: "After staying with the prince and princess for a long time, I naturally understand a little bit."

Su Ying twisted a chess piece. The orange candlelight shone on the white chess piece, glowing warmly. Su Ying's eyes fell on the chess piece and she murmured: "The prince has always been self-righteous and cruel. He always thinks that The power of the Wei family can ensure that he ascends to the throne of the King of God. However, over the years, the Wei family has acted ruthlessly. The crimes they have committed are like chess pieces on the chessboard. As long as these chess pieces are put to good use. , one day he will get his retribution."

Situ Jin said in a deep voice: "The Wei family has been running rampant in the capital for decades, and many families have been ruined. Even Hui's family was jealous of her family's wealth, so they found someone to frame her father. In the end, Weiying led The cronies of the Wei family moved all the wealth of Hui's family into the Wei family, and the money was used by the Wei family to support secret guards and private soldiers. This is how the Wei family made their fortune."

Su Ying sneered and said: "Wei Ying actually wants to plot against Hui Niang and destroy the family. How can it be resolved with just profit? The Wei family has done a lot of bad things, so naturally they won't remember these little things. I just want to use these little things." A small chess piece, destroying the Wei family's dream of covering the sky with one hand!"

Situ Jin's eyes fell on the chessboard. The white stones in Su Ying's hand fell. The black stones on the chessboard were instantly surrounded. Victory or failure was a foregone conclusion.

Situ Jin lowered his eyebrows and chuckled: "I lost this round!"

Su Yingjiao smiled and said: "It's just because the prince asked me!"

The candlelight in the room must have been burning for a long time, and the fire began to dim. Su Ying stood up, picked up the scissors in her hand, and cut off the blackened wicks one by one. The firelight suddenly became much brighter, dispelling the darkness that had seeped into the room. .

Mu Lin had already exited the room, and now only Su Ying and Situ Jin were left in the room. They didn't like being served by others when they were in the room. Chunlan and Xia Yu usually waited outside for orders.

Situ Jin looked at Su Ying's jade-like face illuminated by the candlelight, and was lost in thought for a moment.

Su Ying turned around and saw him in a daze. She smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, has anything happened in the court recently?"

Situ Jin came back to his senses, took her hand and sat beside him, thinking for a moment and said: "One thing, it's almost the end of the year. The Queen Mother worships Buddha at Xiangguo Temple all year round. Yesterday, my father said that the Queen Mother will return to the palace in a few days. Also, King Suqing has not returned to the court for two years to report on his duties, and he will return to Beijing this year."

Su Ying's eyebrows were cold: "It seems that the Wei family's affairs have made them uneasy. Even the Queen Mother and King Suqing can't restrain themselves."

Situ Jin squeezed her weak and boneless hand, with the same expression on his face: "Sooner or later, we will have to face it. The more they can't hold back, the easier it will be to reveal their flaws, and the more advantageous it will be to us."

Su Ying looked sideways and smiled softly: "I heard that there is a beauty beside the Queen Mother. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also deeply loved by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother intends to marry him to the prince. Who do you think the Queen Mother will marry her to?"

Situ Jin pinched her chin lovingly and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I already have a princess, so this matter will definitely not fall on me. Don't worry, madam!"

Su Ying glared at him and said, "I heard that the woman is the only daughter of the Queen Mother's sister, Anping Hou, but she is the treasure in the Queen Mother's hands. If the Queen Mother wants to marry you and be your concubine, can you still refuse?"

Situ Jin straightened his expression and said, "Madam, don't worry. How can the only daughter of Marquis Anping become a concubine? Your position in the palace cannot be shaken."

Su Ying smiled shyly: "You!"

Outside the house is as dark as ink, the cold wind is blowing, the candles inside the house are gradually extinguished, and the feeling of spring is lingering.
