Beijing.

Dark clouds covered the moon and the sky was pitch black.

Under the same dark night.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

In the back house.

The second prince was dressed in casual clothes, with his long hair tied up, sitting alone in the yard, drinking by himself.

The house was brightly lit, and the bright candlelight cast two figures sitting opposite each other on the window, as if there were people sitting in the house talking at night.

The second prince glanced in the direction of the house, then quickly looked away.

Unlike the crown prince who looks heroic, cheerful and strong, the second prince is thin and has a more feminine face.

He is not that keen on women.

However, the second prince often led his subordinates to conduct impact exercises because he knew that this was a good way to build relationships with his subordinates.

The Second Prince, like the Crown Prince, understood how important Su An was to them.

The possibility of him inheriting the throne is relatively small. After all, the crown prince is the eldest son and he is only the second son.

So if nothing unexpected happens, in the end, he can only resort to mutiny.

To this end, he planned and schemed, and finally succeeded in winning over two military generals.

But this is far from enough. The second prince still needs the support of Marquis Shenwei, the top military figure.

If Marquis Shenwei stood clearly behind him, when the Emperor of Jin passed away one day, his chances of success would be greatly increased if he forged an imperial edict to start a rebellion.

However, because of the relationship with Sima Yue, Su An was closer to the prince than he was to him, even though he had divorced his wife long ago.

The second prince knew that the possibility of winning over Su An was very low.

To this end, his think tanks had offered him advice.

You can take advantage of the prince's lustful character and find a way to make him touch Su An's woman, so as to create a rift between the two of them.

The targets include but are not limited to Zhou Qingyu, Wang Shishi, Sima Yue, and even Tan Tai Hyun.

But the focus is still Zhou Qingyu.

If the prince was blinded by lust and touched her, there would be an irreconcilable conflict between him and Su An.

The second prince felt that this method was not very feasible.

Although his elder brother is extremely lustful, at least he knows what is important.

The prince liked to kidnap the wives and daughters of his subordinates and keep them in his mansion for fun.

The Second Prince knew about this kind of thing, but even if he made it known to the public, it would be difficult to have a substantial impact on the Crown Prince.

After all, the targets of the prince were those who had neither background nor strength.

This method doesn't work.

Then the think tank gave him another idea.

Use the Crown Prince's younger brother, the Ninth Prince.

This gave the second prince some inspiration.

Lao Jiu, the troublemaker who is disliked by everyone.

He was a fool, and relying on the support of the equally foolish queen, he did many evil things in the capital.

If he touched Zhou Qingyu, it would definitely cause an uproar in the capital.

Moreover, the Zhou Mansion and the Shenwei Hou Mansion will definitely not let it go after this incident.

And in order to protect her precious son, the stupid queen will definitely fight to the death with the Su and Zhou families.

This is highly feasible.

Although Zhou Qingyu's status and position are different from ordinary people, the Ninth Prince Bao Tian is also extremely bold.

But the difficulty lies in how to get the Ninth Prince to take action against Zhou Qingyu.

Many things will inevitably leave traces once they are done.

If the Second Prince wants to find someone to instigate the Ninth Prince to take action against Zhou Qingyu, it will definitely be more difficult for him to handle the whole process than for the Crown Prince. There is a high possibility that he will be caught by someone afterwards.

There is a high possibility of being discovered.

This is exactly where the second prince hesitated.

Teach Laojiu, there will always be a way.

However, the second prince was not sure that he could remain invisible and unnoticed throughout the incident.

If the truth is discovered later, he would have irreconcilable conflicts with the Su and Zhou families.

Just when he was hesitating, his subordinates' words convinced him.

"The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir, and the possibility of inheriting the artifact is greater than your Highness."

"As for the Crown Prince, no matter what, he still has the relationship with Sima Yue, so he has an innate advantage. However, Your Highness, you have almost no relationship with the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness, you are at a double disadvantage. If you don't take a risky move and take advantage of the opportunity, I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat the Crown Prince in the end."

These words were like an epiphany for the second prince.

That's right.

He was already at a disadvantage, and his hopes of becoming the successor were slim.

And if he fails in his bid for the throne, his elder brother will never let him go.

This plan.

If you succeed, great things can be expected.

If he loses, he will only offend Su and Zhou families to death.

Anyway, if he fails in the fight for the throne, he will surely die.

Why not give it a try?

So the second prince made up his mind to implement this strategy a few days ago.

For this purpose, he secretly sought help from Shadow.

That was Li Yan, who had been in contact with him before.

Unfortunately, they are not interested in the succession battle of Jin Dynasty at all.

The reason why people were willing to contact him, the second prince, was just because they thought that with his network of connections, he should be able to help Gong Ling find the Yin Shen Grass.

But unfortunately, the second prince failed in the end.

So when the second prince sent someone to contact Shadow later, Li Yan ignored him.

It was Yao Yi, who was also an elder and a criminal, who got in touch with him.

Yao Yi sent Chen Jun to secretly come to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The latter also brought an important figure. It is said that this important figure has a deep network of connections. He has secret contacts in the Zhou Mansion and can help the second prince find Zhou Qingyu's whereabouts.

Now, Chen Jun and the big shot were having a secret conversation in the house.

The second prince sat in the yard, looking at the two figures in the window.

The so-called big shot was dressed in white.

Apart from this, all his other physical features, including height, appearance, and figure, were concealed by the art of concealment.

Others can't see through it.

He is able to practice the secret techniques of the art to such an extent.

Obviously, this man in white is most likely a great practitioner who has reached the sixth level of cultivation.

But the second prince could never guess his identity.

inside the house.

The candlelight burned quietly on the golden lamp with golden leaves and jade branches, illuminating the room brightly.

Two figures sat opposite each other across the tea table.

One of them was of strong build and had a full beard. He was none other than Chen Jun, the Shadow Leader and Chen Hong's teacher.

The other person was dressed in white, and his face seemed to be covered by a layer of fog and could not be seen.

"Since his identity was exposed, Elder Yao has been hiding for a long time. But he suddenly showed up this time and even got involved in the Second Prince's plan. What is his intention?"

The man in white looked at Chen Jun and asked calmly.

"Adding fuel to the flames, creating a conflict between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, stirring up conflicts between the princes and the Zhou and Su families - as long as it can cause chaos in the Great Jin, Elder Yao will naturally be happy to do it."

Chen Jun chuckled.

"But you, sir, actually got involved, which is a bit beyond Chen's expectations."

"When Elder Yao sent someone to invite you, he didn't hold out much hope that you would agree."

Hearing this, the man in white hid his face in the mist and remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Jun couldn't help but shook his head.

"Sir, why do you have to hide so much? There are only you and me here."

"Besides, I'm sure no one in the Second Prince's Mansion can hide from you, a sixth-level magic practitioner, to eavesdrop on our conversation."

"No one would know except me and Elder Yao."

"The one who conspired with an evil cultivator like me to plot against the eldest daughter of the Zhou family's eldest son is actually the second master of the Zhou family who dotes on her the most according to rumors from the outside world - Zhou Wenruo."
