Chapter 215: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
Prince Li Zhi and Ye Nianchen returned to the teahouse again, on the same floor, in the same private room, and in the same window seats.
He wasn't too anxious to understand the ins and outs, but first let Ye Nianchen have some refreshments and rest for a while.
Not to mention that she had been seeing the people for so long before, and then she was led around by Ye Zhenye, and finally had to deal with Prince Zhou's people for so long, you don't have to think about it to know that she is already exhausted, but this girl has always been strong, and she definitely won't show that in front of him.
After Ye Nianchen ate something and rested for a while, his expression obviously improved, and Li Zhi explained why he and the second prince appeared so coincidentally today.
Especially the letter pretending to be written by Ye Nianchen mentioned by the second prince, which was even more word-for-word.
Ye Nianchen listened and nodded slightly.
Now everything makes perfect sense, but all the calculations are far more far-reaching than previously thought.
The matter has already involved the crown prince, so targeting her, ruining her reputation, blaming Prince Zhou, and sabotaging the marriage between the two countries are no longer the ultimate goal, and then I am afraid that a conspiracy against the position of the prince will be blatantly officially staged.
Thinking about this, Ye Nianchen no longer hesitated, and quickly talked to Li Zhi about the specific things that happened to her today.
From Ye Zhenye's sudden overtures yesterday to today's variety, in the face of Li Zhi, she has no need to hide it.
This is also the reason why she asked the second prince to send Ye Zhenye back first, one is Ye Zhenye. She can only deal with it when she turns around, and there are some things that are not convenient for the second prince to know.
After listening to Ye Nianchen's narration, Li Zhi sneered: "My imperial aunt is really a good calculation, how can she kill two birds with one stone?" If it weren't for your wit and didn't let Prince Zhou make that fool, I'm afraid everyone would have to be played with by her at this moment! ”
Thinking that Ye Nianchen had just been almost violated, Li Zhi's anger was difficult to dissipate, even if Prince Zhou didn't make any actual moves in the end, but just having such a thought made him intolerable.
"Prince Zhou too. I really regard my Dawei as my own back garden. It seems that it was my Da Wei who was too polite to him, which made him think that he could do whatever he wanted! ”
He added with a gloomy face: "Today's matter, whether it is Princess Zhaohua or Prince Zhou, they all have to pay the price for what they have done!" ”
Not just for Ye Nianchen. is also for his own use. Li Zhi would never allow himself to be calculated like this. This is the natural pride and bottom line in the bones.
"Your Highness is right, of course, today's matter cannot be stopped, but it is inconvenient to be in a hurry. Otherwise, it would be even more of a ploy against them. ”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Ye Nianchen became more and more convinced that what he expected was true.
She didn't hesitate, and immediately took out the two things written by Prince Zhou and handed them to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, please see, this is something that Prince Zhou wrote down after knowing that he was used by Princess Zhaohua to calculate, and his personal seal was also stamped on it, as long as it is used reasonably, it will definitely bring unexpected results." ”
Li Zhi looked at Ye Nianchen, then took the two pieces of paper and looked at them quickly.
"Do you want to use this as a proof to dig a big hole for Princess Zhaohua in turn?" He smiled: "Prince Zhou is also a ruthless character, my imperial aunt has to fight again this time, and she has to get into trouble." ”
Ye Nianchen shook his head and added, "This handwritten letter from Prince Zhou can only be regarded as an important link in the middle of the chain of evidence, and Princess Zhaohua is only a small part of our ultimate goal of breaking them. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically, obviously not understanding what Ye Nianchen meant.
"Your Royal Highness should know that the Jiang family, represented by Princess Zhaohua, has always privately supported the second prince to compete for the crown, and you will definitely have a final battle between the throne and the second prince in the future, and this matter is inevitable."
Ye Nianchen explained: "Today's events, I don't know what His Highness thinks the role of the second prince in this? Is it just that he was used by Princess Zhaohua as a witness and a force to counter Prince Zhou, just like you, or is he the ultimate yellow sparrow? Your Highness now knows the details of everything, haven't you ever thought that the ultimate target of everything may not be me, nor Prince Zhou, but Your Highness? ”
“…… If something happens to you today, and I will definitely not let go of Prince Zhou, and finally make a fuss, if it is serious, it will not only ruin the marriage to Princess Zhaohua's satisfaction, but also be provoked and sublimated into a contradiction between the two countries. Even if it is Prince Zhou's fault, no matter what the result is, it will eventually make my father dissatisfied with what I have done, and even if someone takes advantage of the situation behind my back to hype it up, it may make my father and the hundred officials in the court waver about whether I am qualified to be the crown prince? ”
Of course, Li Zhi was not stupid, and he understood it in an instant, so his face became more and more ugly.
"Your Highness is right, once today's incident is formed, there will be many people involved in this situation, but in the end, it is Your Highness who will really suffer except me, and the ultimate beneficiary is even more clear."
Ye Nianchen nodded and said, "With my understanding of Princess Zhaohua, her intelligence is not enough to come up with such a multi-pronged and far-reaching layout. This matter must be inseparable from Concubine Jiang and the Jiang family behind her. As for whether the second prince is directly involved in the layout, it is difficult to determine for the time being......"
Speaking of this, Ye Nianchen paused: "...... There may be direct involvement, or acquiescence, or a ride in the boat afterwards, but it doesn't really matter anymore. After all, if His Highness loses, he is the ultimate beneficiary. Otherwise, with his intelligence, how could he be so sure that the pretended letter in the morning was written by me? ”
"It's a far-sighted conspiracy, it seems that they really can't wait!" Li Zhi sighed slightly, and then smiled indifferently: "That's fine, since they want to do it in advance, I don't have to have any scruples!" ”
"I'm afraid, this matter is also very related to the progress and breakthrough of the corruption case personally investigated by His Royal Highness, they are afraid, afraid that you will successfully solve the case and finally the disaster will come, so they thought of starting first!"
Ye Nianchen had a flash of inspiration, and he brought all these things in the capital together recently.
In fact, her reasoning is quite reasonable.
Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes were stunned, if the woman in front of him was a man, she would not be inferior to any strategist hero. (To be continued.) )
