Chapter 255 Warning
Seeing this, the eunuch Lu Yang, who had been serving as a substitute, trembled in his heart.
He had spent the longest time with the Second Prince and knew his temper very well. He knew that the Prince of Qi's heart at this moment was like a turbulent ocean of anger and unwillingness, which could cause huge waves at any time.
Therefore, Lu Yang became more cautious, but he also understood that the more critical the moment was, the more he could not sit and do nothing.
Lu Yang took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, since it is a stumbling block, just get rid of it."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing such a suggestion, the Second Prince was filled with dejection. He seemed to have lost all his strength and suddenly slumped down in his chair. He said weakly, "Do you think I have never tried it before?"
The depressed Second Prince, under the mixture of extreme anger and unwillingness, unexpectedly revealed the secret that he usually kept hidden the most and never showed to others without reservation.
"But no matter how carefully I plan, no matter how hard I try, I will only become a stepping stone for that woman."
"Every plot and every arrangement I made only served to help her gain more fame, while I always ended up in complete failure."
Lu Yang didn't expect that Chu Ci could have such a profound influence on the Second Prince. He couldn't help but darken his eyes and was secretly shocked. "Your Highness, she is just a woman, a woman without a deep family foundation."
"No matter how capable she is, what does it matter? As long as she is gone, everything she has will quickly fall apart and turn into nothing."
"Even if the emperor finds out that you did it, so what? You are an extremely noble prince. Can the emperor punish you severely for a woman?"
As Lu Yang spoke, he made a ferocious gesture of grabbing someone's neck, his expression ferocious and cold.
The second prince was frantically moved when he heard this, and the murderous intent in his heart instantly surged like wild weeds. But when he thought of the eldest and fifth brothers who were traveling with Chu Ci, he frowned tightly and said with a worried look: "Although I don't know what my father told the fifth brother, if I want to deal with that woman, I have to go beyond the fifth brother."
"Old Five is a man of deep thoughts, and he is traveling with that woman. I am afraid that he will cause complications and hinder our plan."
Lu Yang knew the Second Prince. If he really disagreed, he wouldn't have said so much.
So, he struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Yao Qilin should be useless!"
"In that case, why not let him make one last contribution for you. He was originally a pawn in your hand, and now he can't play a big role. It's better to let him pave the way for you at the last moment."
At this point, Lu Yang's voice became even lower, almost close to the Second Prince's ear, and he whispered: "Perhaps, you can kill two birds with one stone, or even three or four birds with one stone?"
"Yao Qilin has a 'close relationship' with the young lady of the Yuan family. If you use it properly, you can get rid of Chu Ci, the biggest worry in your heart, and put an end to her thoughts. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Lu Yang pointed in the direction of Yuan Mansion, his eyes revealing viciousness and calculation, as if his gaze could penetrate all obstacles and reach the goal directly.
"Let me think about it." The second prince frowned and fell into deep thought.
When Lu Yang saw this, he was delighted and knew that the matter was done.
He was extremely tactful and retreated quietly at the right time without making any sound, for fear of disturbing the Second Prince who was lost in thought.
At this time, Chu Ci, who was sleeping in the inn, knew nothing about this. She was still immersed in a sweet dream, breathing evenly and with a peaceful face, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.
But at the other end of the inn, Taoist Yunshang and Feng Yan both opened their eyes at the same time. There was an unconcealable alertness in their eyes, and that alertness was like a lone wolf in a cold night, keen and sharp.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, as if even the air had frozen, and the silence was depressing.
After a long while, Taoist Master Yunshang took the lead in breaking the oppressive silence. His throat moved and he asked, "Did you feel it too?"
His voice was low and slightly nervous, as if he was afraid of being heard by some unknown being.
Feng Yan nodded slightly, his expression solemn, his brows tightly furrowed, like two deep ravines, which seemed to hide endless worries.
"Should we tell Miss Chu?" Taoist Yunshang asked immediately, his tone somewhat hesitant and mixed with a little worry, his eyes flickering in the darkness.
Feng Yan thought about it again and again, and said slowly: "Since the princess wants me to live a healthy life like an ordinary person and not be bothered by these troubles, Taoist Yunshang will go and talk to her."
"After all, compared to me, your blood feud should make you more anxious. This matter may be related to that feud. You should tell the princess so that she can make plans early."
Taoist Master Yun Shang gnashed his teeth, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly: "I treat you as a brother and sincerely, but you would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die!"
Hearing this, Feng Yan showed a smug smile on his face. There was a hint of cunning in that smile and a hint of pride in his eyes. He said leisurely: "Old Taoist, just tell me if what I said is right or not?"
Taoist Yunshang knew that what Feng Yan said made sense, so he felt even more depressed!
Seeing this, Feng Yan slowed down his tone and said as if to comfort a child: "Don't be angry, we have to be realistic, right? Think about it carefully, does what I said make sense?"
"In this situation, you are indeed more anxious to deal with it than I am. After all, you will never be at peace until your blood feud is avenged. That hatred is like a heavy stone, always weighing on your heart."
"As for me, although I am also worried, I am not as anxious as you."
"So, you still have to tell Chu girl so that we can respond early. If we delay and wait until things are out of control before taking action, then everything will be too late."
This analysis directly hit the weak spot of Taoist Yunshang, leaving him powerless to refute.
Taoist Master Yunshang sighed heavily upon hearing this, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take this hot potato!"
As he said this, he stood up fiercely and dressed roughly, muttering, "I really have no choice but to get into this trouble."
Then he walked quickly to Chu Ci's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said in a hurried voice: "Boss, are you there? I have something urgent to talk to you about."
In his dream, Chu Ci was happily gnawing on the temptingly colored and fragrant pig's trotters, eating with great relish.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, pulling her out of her sweet dream.
Chu Ci woke up slowly, his face full of loss.
Turning around, she hugged Fan Jingrui tightly like a lazy kitten, and said coquettishly: "Husband, I don't want to remember."
