I'm a villain, not a devil

Sean's words immediately made everyone else react.

"Bai Zhan is starting to doubt Jehovah... After all, it was he who passed on the news that you were alive..." Moza pondered, "According to what you said, Jehovah is cunning and mysterious. Bai Zhan would never fully trust such a person around him... And once this incident came out, as long as he calmed down and thought carefully, he would naturally suspect Jehovah."

Cheryl nodded beside him: "When it comes to being sinister and despicable, Jehovah is still a long way behind Big Brother."

Sean smiled and said, "It's not good to be praised by so many people, Cheryl."

Bai Ye: "..."

She said seriously, "If you think about it this way, it is indeed true... But Bai Zhan is in a hurry now. Even if he has doubts about Jehovah, he will not do it, right? After all, the most important thing for him is to complete his plan. Before they fall out, Jehovah will still be his helper."

Sean snapped his fingers. "Normally, this is the case. Even if you are suspicious of Jehovah, now is not the right time to take action. Waiting until the matter is done and settling everything is the most reasonable option. The question is, can Bai defeat Jehovah?"

Bai Ye was startled, then said, "You mean, my eldest brother's suspicion of Jehovah will naturally lead to changes in his daily actions and conversations, and with Jehovah's sensitivity, he can detect it?"

Sean spread his hands and said, "Although I played him around, Jehovah himself is not stupid. On the contrary, even I have to admit that this guy's acumen is beyond my expectations."

Bai Ye said thoughtfully: "If that's the case... our original intention is to make them suspicious of each other, so as to achieve our goal... but if my eldest brother can't defeat Jehovah at all, don't we have to help him?"

Sean sneered: "On the contrary, the person we want to help is not Bai Zhan, but Jehovah."

"why?"

"It's very simple. Bai Zhan is the eldest prince of the empire. No matter what, as long as your father doesn't give the order, he has the advantage in status. Jehovah is also aware of this. Therefore, if he completely breaks off relations with Bai Zhan, he will inevitably face official pressure. Bai Zhan's primary goal is to advance the plan, and if Jehovah goes against Bai Zhan, the progress of the plan will slow down - at that time, your father will be the first one who will not let him go."

Sean said slowly, "So, we have to help Jehovah and make your elder brother completely lose his most important status and position, so that Jehovah has no worries. Moreover, if your elder brother loses power, will the construction of the statue of the founder continue?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment: "Given my father's character, he will continue."

Sean spread his hands and said, "That's it. When the time comes, the person in charge of the statue's construction will have to be replaced by someone else, someone who is 'trustworthy'. Who could that person be?"

Bai Ye frowned: "Based on the current situation...it seems that it can only be Fourth Brother..."

"That's right, the Fourth Prince Bai Si." Sean curled his lips, "But, the Fourth Prince Bai Si must be the Fourth Prince..."

This time, not to mention Zhu Zhu who was confused because she was still innocent, even Bai Ye was unable to react.

"I don't understand what you mean." She thought for a long time and finally spoke honestly.

Sean stretched his body and said, "This is the imperial capital. No matter what happened last night or before, most of the time it was done in secret. But when it comes to the surface, we need to abide by the rules... Bai Ye, according to the imperial law, what is the crime of framing the prince?"

Bai Ye frowned slightly: "It will start with a heavy sentence. If the frame-up is proven and has caused serious consequences, the heaviest punishment will probably be the death penalty."

Sean clapped his hands: "That's it, isn't it?"

Bai Ye was startled for a moment, then reacted and looked at Sean in disbelief: "You mean... Third Brother? You already calculated what would happen today?"

How is that possible? I just improvise.

But Sean just smiled pretentiously.

The third prince Bai You was indeed one of the stumbling blocks on Sean's road, but the fact was that except at the beginning, the two of them had never actively had conflicts, and after the initial conflict, Bai You took the initiative to give in.

In this situation, Sean would not choose to add insult to injury and let Bai You die in the Black Pigeon. Bai You's role is to allow him to gain the upper hand in the obvious rules when necessary.

As long as the plan goes on as usual, interesting changes will occur in the four princes.

The eldest prince Bai Zhan and the fourth prince Bai Si will directly withdraw from the fight for the right of succession. The third prince Bai You should be able to restore his original status, but he basically doesn't have to think about the right of succession anymore.

Only one person was left, and that was the most unpopular Second Prince Bai Wen. Bai Wen's biological mother was Grand Duchess Yuan Tie - a female Grand Duchess. Wouldn't she be tempted after getting such a wonderful opportunity? If not, then it would be unworthy of her title.

In addition, because of Bai Zhan's fall, Jehovah's identity in the eyes of the emperor will become more and more sensitive, but the construction progress of the statue of the founding father will most likely not stop, because that is something the emperor is secretly promoting. Without Bai Zhan, someone else will naturally need to take over.

The fourth prince has "unfortunately fallen" and the second prince is not trustworthy, so there are fewer options - but Sean does not think that the emperor will choose Princess Bai Ye, the only one with the right of inheritance, as there is too much uncertainty.

Therefore, a new role will inevitably be pushed forward, and even the emperor may come forward in person.

Jehovah, who always had other things in mind, would also see this.

Sean couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the chaos that would occur at that time.

Instead of working hard to attack from the outside, it is better to let the opponent quickly collapse from the inside.

When the forces of various parties begin to become clear and distinct, Sean, who is cruising on the edge, will find the best opportunity.

It is certainly more reliable to find answers to questions by yourself, but Sean prefers others to take the initiative to open up the questions wider. At that time, he can directly touch the most essential truth without the need for a correct answer.

In addition, don't forget that if the princes fall one after another, those neutral factions in the empire and those hesitant upper-class people will find that there will only be one heir to the imperial throne that they can pay attention to - the eldest princess Bai Ye.

Sean wants Bai Ye's position as queen to be legitimate so that she can control the overall situation after taking the throne.

Of course, all this has a premise.

The emperor will really die.

……

Bai Zhan has been feeling uneasy these days. The theft in the basement was a major blow. Sometimes, Bai Zhan even considered whether he should go out in person and contact certain people.

However, these things cannot be told to others, and it is difficult to discuss them.

The trap set for Sean that day was unsuccessful, but Jehovah asserted that Sean would keep trying, and that he was trying to set a more perfect trap.

But how could Bai Zhan have the energy to think about these things now?

Everything seems calm now, but if the emperor's uncle comes back, what he has done will definitely be exposed... then, everything will be over.

The plan must be advanced... Then, it will be the best time to retaliate.

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Jehovah's voice rang out.

Bai Zhan barely recovered from his shock. He nodded thoughtfully, "Well, let's do as the military advisor says."

"……Yes."

After a moment's silence, Jehovah nodded.

After the plan to kill Sean that day failed, Bai Zhan has been uneasy.

At first, Jehovah thought that the other party was depressed, but now it seems that something happened that night that he was not aware of.

Bai Zhan is still on guard against me...

However, this is to be expected.

Jehovah did not care about the defense of this incompetent prince. He was now eager for revenge, and if he wanted Sean to die, he still had to rely on the power in the hands of the eldest prince of the empire.

Just as he was about to continue studying the plan, a confidant ran in and whispered something in Bai Zhan's ear.

Bai Zhan nodded, then said to Jehovah: "Military Advisor, I have some things to do, you plan first."

"……Yes."

Looking at Bai Zhan walking out, Jehovah frowned slightly.

After Bai Zhan walked out of the room, he quickly disappeared. When he reappeared, no one noticed that someone had entered the secret room of the military.

This time, the person sitting in the room was not Marshal Wu Xiao, but someone Bai Zhan had once hosted: Lan Ye.

Of course, many people speculated about the identity of this officer who could move freely in the military, and the conclusion they came to was nothing more than that he was related to Marshal Wu Xiao or Prince Bai Youming.

At the beginning, Bai Zhan tried to win over Lan Ye, but in the end he was entangled in various things and Lan Ye disappeared without a trace, so the matter ended up in nothing.

So, when Bai Zhan learned that Lan Ye wanted to meet him, he was still surprised.

However, being able to sit in the military's secret room is enough to prove that Lan Ye's identity is indeed closely related to the top military officials. Bai Zhan has now broken off relations with Bai Youming and Wu Xiao, so he is naturally much more cautious.

Seeing Lan Ye, Bai Zhan bowed and smiled: "Mr. Lan Ye, I wonder why you want to see me at this time?"

Sean, who used the alias Lan Ye, laughed secretly. As expected, Bai Zhan's guard against him became much higher and his movements became much more unfamiliar - the last time they met, he kept calling him brother and was very friendly.

However, having more vests is convenient...

Lan Ye smiled and made an inviting gesture, but Bai Zhan simply pulled out the stool farthest from him and sat down.

Looking at Bai Zhan, Lan Ye straightened his clothes and said straight to the point: "Nothing else, but there is a piece of news that I think His Highness might be interested in."

"Oh?" There was a hint of curiosity in Bai Zhan's voice, but judging from his actions, he was still very wary.

Lan Ye did not keep the secret, but directly said: "According to reliable information, the deceased prince, Sean from Paradise City... is not dead."

Bai Zhan's eyes flickered a little, and when he looked at Lan Ye, there was suddenly some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

He quickly showed a look of shock: "Sean is not dead? How is this possible..."

Lan Ye nodded: "It is indeed incredible, but according to my information, it is indeed true."

"This..." Bai Zhan seemed to be in great shock, and even his subconscious little movements stopped.

These little tricks are quite effective... Sean sneered to himself.

He was originally waiting for Bai Zhan and Jehovah to start a quarrel, but he didn't expect that there was no movement at all in the past few days, and even no action was taken against Cheryl.

After thinking about it, Sean found that he had overlooked one thing - Jehovah also didn't know about Bai Zhan's basement, which would directly lead to changes in Jehovah's subsequent actions.

And Jehovah is now naturally determined to kill me. During this time, Jehovah's concentration is all on continuing to ambush me, which makes it less likely for him to arouse suspicion.

This is not okay...

If time drags on and Bai Youming returns, the military-related matters will be quickly suppressed and there will be no chance of chaos.

So, Sean decided to speed things up himself.

Most vests are like this, please understand.

Bai Zhan seemed shocked, but in fact, alarm bells were ringing in his heart. He and Lan Ye did have a pleasant chat last time, but they had no contact after that. It can't be said that they have a close relationship. There is no need for the latter to reveal this information to him...

Not many people know this news now... Lan Ye's action seems like he is... urging me?

Bai Zhan became suspicious, but still wanted to see what Lan Ye would do next.

Sure enough, Lan Ye spoke again: "I know His Highness will be suspicious of this news, but just consider it as my gift... To verify, I heard that His Highness has a former brother of Sean named Cheryl, right?"

Bai Zhan thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Indeed."

After knowing that Sean was not dead, Cheryl was targeted by Bai Zhan, but based on the reminder of the military advisor, he did not take action against Cheryl immediately.

Now, it was Lan Ye who brought it up first.

Lan Ye smiled and said, "If Sean is not dead, then Cheryl's purpose is worth considering... If Cheryl is arrested, many things will be revealed, right?"

Bai Zhan frowned slightly: "Mr. Lan Ye, why did you tell me this information?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's a gift for meeting you. As for whether it's real or not, it shouldn't be difficult for Your Highness to verify it, right?"

Bai Zhan was silent for a moment, and finally just nodded slowly.

Lan Ye stood up and said, "I would like to recommend a date to Your Highness. I personally think it is more suitable..."

"What day?"

"Three days later, it will be the Imperial Army Day."

……

Bai Zhan returned to the war room, thinking about what Lan Ye was up to. As for trust? He simply didn't believe in the other party now.

At this time, Jehovah raised his head, saw Bai Zhan and said, "This is a new plan, Your Highness, please take a look."

Bai Zhan glanced at it casually and nodded: "Just do as the military advisor says."

Jehovah smiled slightly and said, "Yes... As for the execution date of the plan, I think the Imperial Army Day in three days is a good choice."
