Princess Roudan said casually: "Father has only five sons so far. Prince Qi has two sons, and Prince Jin has four sons. We can kill ten people to deal with them. Why should we take the risk of confronting Father's army?"

Duke Cheng'en and his gang were all stunned!

Wei Shuyun couldn't help but ask, "Where are the other two princesses?"

"It doesn't matter. They can't inherit the throne. Of course, if they oppose the Crown Prince, their clan will be exterminated after he ascends the throne."

"But, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be criticized for killing so many princes and princesses?" Wei Shuyun wondered if Duke Cheng'en's Mansion would be condemned and complained about if they killed all the princes?

"Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Besides, my brother is the crown prince. What's wrong with stepping on blood to ascend to the throne? Do we have to wait for Prince Qi to chop off our heads to be loyal to the emperor and love our country? Don't be ridiculous!"

Princess Roudan sneered and said, "Leading troops to attack thousands of miles away and capture the palace will win people's hearts? It's better to kill a few people and attack Huanglong directly!"

Duke Cheng En applauded! The princess had a keen eye, this was truly a vicious and... brilliant idea.

Wei Shixun was the first to laugh: "Princess, this is a good suggestion! Your Majesty will not think of doing anything else if he has no other heirs to inherit the throne."

Lord Cheng'en: You are worthy of being the dark phoenix chosen by our Wei family!

Wei Shuyun: I am ashamed. We have worked so hard day and night, but it is not as good as a word of advice from the princess.

Wei Anyuan: These are all your half brothers and sisters. How the hell can you be so inhumane?

I give in, no one is more ruthless than the guy named Zhou!

Wei Shixun smiled gently and asked, "The princes are living in different places. If we kill one of them, it will alert your majesty. It will be very difficult to take action again, and it may even backfire. Princess, do you have any good ideas?"

Princess Roudan rubbed her face and said, "Gather them all in one place and wipe them out at once."

Yes, yes, yes, Lord Cheng’en’s old eyes were shining with enthusiasm.

"How to wipe them out in one go?"

"Isn't this simple? Find a minister they are familiar with and the one our father relies on the most, and summon them to a certain place secretly."

Princess Roudan said tiredly, "Don't worry, they will all go. Which of my royal brothers doesn't want to seize the throne?"

"That's right, Princess!"

Wei Shixun looked at his grandfather and father and said, "Your Majesty trusts Elder Gu, Xie Anfeng, Elder Liu, or Leng Luo the most."

"In the name of Lord Gu, let's pretend to convey the emperor's will." Princess Roudan said, "Don't kill him, leave him to me."

After hearing this, Duke Cheng'en and Wei Anyuan, who had originally been pleased and impressed, turned speechless again. Could they please not bring up personal agenda when discussing business?

Gu Shaoyu is the best candidate. Although he has the emperor's favor, he has no background. The Bo Mansion is a mess and is not well-known in the capital. They use his name to trick the princes and then kill him to silence them.

But she couldn't say anything about killing Gu Shaoyu. Duke Cheng En looked at her impatient face and immediately said, "Princess, go and have a rest."

Princess Roudan rubbed her butt, stretched herself, and left Duke Cheng'en's mansion overnight.

It was already the beginning of the morning hour, long past curfew, the city gates were open, and street vendors were busy.

Official sedan chairs and carriages were rushing towards the imperial palace, anxious to attend court. She lifted the curtain and took a look.

Suddenly I thought of Gu Shaoyu.

Shouldn't he go to court at this time?

"Hurry, go to the Imperial Street and take a look." She ordered the driver.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Imperial Street. Like when she was a child, she looked at the luxury cars of the rich and powerful, and the sedan chairs and carriages used by officials to go to court.

Soon, the familiar carriage was seen.

That was Gu Shaoyu's carriage.

Nanxing was still driving.

Princess Roudan's eyes were eager. In her memory, she knew that in the year when Gu Shaoyu passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, the Empress had mentioned to the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion that she wanted to recruit Gu Shaoyu as her consort.

But Gu Shaoyu flatly refused. His Majesty called the Queen and scolded her, telling them to give up this idea for the rest of their lives.

"I have my eyes on such a capable minister, so don't put your hands on him."

Princess Yurong pleaded with His Majesty at that time: "As long as Your Majesty grants me a marriage with Gu Shaoyu, I will never do anything ridiculous again. I know that once he is recruited as a consort, he will never have the chance to attend the court again, but I like him, so I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

"Asshole, forget it. I will not grant you marriage!"

Not only did the emperor grant the marriage, he also issued an edict that Gu Shaoyu's marriage was to be decided by himself and no one was allowed to force or interfere.

Even the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion could not control him.

Princess Yurong pestered him countless times, but she never touched even a corner of his clothes.

She knew the driver in front. He was his personal bodyguard, skilled in martial arts and very loyal to him.

His dark carriage was no ordinary carriage. It was a reward from his father when he entered the cabinet.

Gu Shaoyu's carriage passed by her. Neither the people in the carriage, nor the driver, nor even the horse, looked at her.

"Go back home!" Looking at Gu Shaoyu's carriage going away, she didn't hate him, but hated Xie Zhaozhao.

She originally hated Xie Zhaozhao for her noble birth, but now she hates her for stealing the man she loves.

Passing by Prince Qi's mansion and looking at the tightly closed gate, Jin Feng said, "It's been a long time since I last saw Prince Qi and Princess Qi!"

"What's there to worry about a dying prince or princess?" Princess Roudan said nonchalantly, "His mansion is nothing compared to Lord Gu's Qingpu Garden."

After they were all dead and her brother the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she did not want any other rewards, but asked for an imperial decree to appoint Gu Shaoyu as the consort of the emperor, no, as the emperor's servant.

How could the mistress of Qingpu Garden allow that bitch Xie Zhaozhao to occupy her for so long?

Princess Roudan returned home, and Bei Chen, who had been keeping a close eye on her, also returned to Qingpu Garden.

Princess Roudan stayed in Duke Cheng'en's mansion for a day and a night, and reported to Xie Zhaozhao.

"The Cheng'en Mansion is heavily guarded, and all the secret guards are deployed. I did not hear the conversation, but I saw more than ten military officers entering one after another, and there were also seven or eight civil officials."

Even though those people were hiding their heads and tails, he was still able to spy on them by standing in the dark.

Report the name of the person you saw to Xie Zhaozhao.

"Outside Prince Qi's mansion, I heard Princess Yurong and her maidservant say that Prince Qi would soon die."

Bei Chen told Xie Zhaozhao every word of the conversation between Princess Yurong and the maid.

Don't analyze, don't draw conclusions, just describe it as it is, and the master will analyze and judge it himself.

Xie Zhaozhao was shocked. Prince Qi and Princess Qi were going to die?

Ever since the fight between Prince Qi and the Crown Prince last year, His Majesty was so angry that he punished both of them with a hundred strokes of the cane and confined them to their homes for three months. Prince Qi has been ill ever since and did not even attend the special pardon palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

It is said that Prince Qi and Princess Qi have returned to their true nature and have no ambition to seize the throne anymore. They stay with each other every day and rarely interact with outside officials. How could they die?

Xie Zhaozhao immediately wrote a note and handed it to Nanxing: "Find a way to give it to the elder, and be quick."

Nanxing immediately rode into the palace, showed his mansion badge to the imperial guards at the door, and said that he wanted to talk to his master about something.

Gu Shaoyu read the note and felt that something was unusual, so he immediately went to the imperial study.
