Chapter 847 King Wei's Plan
Although Emperor Suwen reinstated Prince Ning as the crown prince, the struggle among the various forces did not stop just because the crown prince was given to Xie Yuzhang.
On the contrary, because Xie Yuzhang became the crown prince by "avoiding disaster", he became even crazier in private.
In the eyes of these people, Xie Yuzhang is bound to die. No one can withstand the backlash of heaven's punishment, and the only way out is death.
From the moment Xie Yuzhang entered the palace to ask for the position of crown prince, his fate was already decided.
The King of Wei had never given up the fight, even at the cost of his life, for the ultimate throne. Now, because of the relationship between the King of Wei and the Crown Prince, he and Jiang Hao were even more hostile to each other, and he would not give up.
In the eyes of King Wei, no matter whether it was Xie Yuzhang or Xie Yujin, as long as either of them ascended to the throne, Jiang Hao would be in power, and with her temper, she would never let him go.
While Xie Junchen was completely defeated, the second legitimate son was named the crown prince. This helped him in his fight for the throne, both in terms of the support of his wife's family and his son's reputation.
There is still a big difference in relationship between a nominal grandson being the crown prince and a biological grandson being the crown prince.
The King of Wei got a hint from the Queen of Wei, and his confidence increased greatly. He then adopted the advice of his advisers, kept a low profile, secretly collected the dirt of the princes and kings, summarized and unified it, and fundamentally removed the personnel planted in various departments and yamen.
"Your Highness, the prince is a lonely man. Just wait for him to die. Why would Your Highness need to go to so much trouble?"
Cai Si'er's voice was soft and extremely charming, and she was showing her charming side in front of the King of Wei. If you only listened to the voice, it would be hard to imagine that it was a eunuch who was speaking.
The King of Wei did not pamper him as before, but instead his expression turned cold: "When did you have the final say in my affairs?"
"I dare not, my lord, forgive me."
Cai Si'er was terrified and his face turned pale. He quickly slid down to his knees and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
Fortunately, the King of Wei did not really want to blame him. Seeing that he was sensible, he did not continue to criticize him. He just reminded him: "Watch your mouth in the future. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cai Si'er kowtowed and stood up. Her white forehead was already a little red and swollen, which softened the King of Wei's heart: "Go down and apply some medicine. I don't need you to serve me here."
"The slave retire."
Cai Si'er always felt that the King of Wei was a little different, but she didn't know why.
But considering the recent changes in the Prince of Wei's mansion, the prince was replaced in a short period of time, and the status of the Princess of Wei in the mansion rose instantly. Even the low-key second son was no longer a nobody after being canonized as the prince...
Really changed.
After Cai Si'er went to the palace doctor to get medicine, he avoided the eyes of others and carefully went to the back door of Prince Wei's mansion.
A figure appeared, and the two of them talked for a while with their heads close together. Cai Si'er sneaked in through the back door again and went to the kitchen.
The people in the kitchen were all acquaintances of his, and although they despised him in their hearts, they flattered him greatly on the surface. Especially those who were trying to curry favor with the powerful, they almost worshipped him.
Inside the Yongning Palace, the spy told Concubine Shu all the news sent by Cai Si'er, and then quietly withdrew.
After a moment of silence, Concubine Shu called the secret guards and ordered, "You all heard it, right?"
The secret guard remained silent.
"According to King Wei's current plan, we must clear all evidence as much as possible. If there is evidence that is difficult to remove, we can do so at any cost. Even..."
There was a ruthless look in Concubine Shu's eyes, and she slowly uttered the last few words: "Kill and silence the witness."
