This is already equivalent to an eviction order, and no matter how stupid Concubine Rou is, she can't understand it.

She stood up, and then said, "I've really disturbed Your Highness for a long time, and it's time for this palace to go back." ”

Chi Chi glanced at her, "It's hard for my mother to go today." ”

"What Your Highness said, as long as you can come to see Your Highness, it is a blessing for this palace." The polite words are almost here, she went out, and the most loyal and personal maid was also waiting outside, after all, there are rules here for a long time.

And the relationship between her and Chi Chi now, no matter what, seems to belong to her to be Chi Chi, but this unequal relationship will inevitably make Concubine Rou feel unhappy.

Especially in her heart, she didn't have much to look up to.

Although she already thinks she is much more powerful than she thought before.

But in the end, it's just a princess who doesn't know when she's going to get married.

If you really want to talk about it, how long you can stay in the harem, no one can say.

However, at this time, Concubine Rou still wants to ask her to do something for herself, so naturally she will not express her emotions.

As soon as Concubine Rou left, Ah Zhi came in and replied, "Your Highness, the punishment has arrived." ”

Chi raised his eyebrows, "Please come in." ”

Cao Ting came in more and more, and looked at him for a long time and laughed, "Why did you come here at this time?" But what happened? ”

The people around you add tea to the tea, and the carbon adds carbon.

It rained again, and the cold fell again.

Chi Chi was originally delicate here, so naturally he lit the charcoal fire again for the first time.

Cao Tingyue did feel a little hot, he came back from outside, and naturally he had a cloak on his body, so he took the cloak off and put it on the table casually.

"I just came back from the Second Prince's Mansion, and I came to you first as soon as I entered the palace."

"Sure enough, he asked you to check on the second prince?"

"Now that Ji Jia is not here, he can only ask me to investigate." Cao Tingyue took a sip of tea, and felt that this tea was average, but after the dispute over bird's nest last time, Cao Tingyue naturally would not mention this kind of thing again.

I just secretly remembered it in my heart, thinking that when I went back, I asked Ji Lin to send some good ones.

Lying here for a long time, there are a lot of taboos on weekdays, and I am afraid that there is only one tea that can be drunk from time to time.

It has to be carefully picked.

I didn't notice Cao Tingyue's many reactions for a long time, and just said, "I know that's the case, but what are you going to do about the Second Prince's Mansion?" ”

Cao Tingyue said, "The second prince's mansion is poisoned, naturally there are people with a heart, if you are the second prince, or you are the queen, who should you suspect first?" ”

Raised his eyebrows slowly, "The eldest prince? ”

"Now that the second princess is pregnant, the person who should be most anxious is, of course, the eldest prince." Cao Tingyue smiled, "The relationship between my Dongchang and the eldest prince has never been good, even now the eldest prince no longer has contact with Jinyiwei, but the disagreement has been buried, and the eldest prince naturally decided that I must have framed him." ”

Chi Chi frowned, "But in this way, what good is it for us?" ”

"If the results I find out are in line with the thoughts of the queen mother, the queen will naturally add fuel to the fire, do you think, when the time comes, will the eldest prince think of me as the culprit of all this, or the queen mother?"

Chi Chi nodded, "Yes, he has always looked down on the eunuch in his heart, and he has always felt that the eunuch is just a slave who can be manipulated by others, even if something happens, he will naturally look for the problem from the source he thinks, and he is afraid that the source he can think is just the queen." ”

Chi Chi now understands, "You want to ......"

"It occurred to me today that there seemed to be no need for us to drag on like this anymore." Cao Ting looked at her more and more, "Actually, things have come to this point, maybe it's not a difficult thing for us to drag the queen down just by ourselves, but we still have to go around and around, but anyway, in the end, our thoughts are not just in the queen alone, it's better to turn the pieces into a whole and deal with them all in one breath." ”

Chi Chi narrowed his eyes, "How to deal with it?" ”

Cao Tingyu originally had the idea of just coming up today, and coming over in a hurry at this time actually wanted to discuss with Chi Chi, if they could, then their future route would only be slightly deviated from this side.

"We are thinking about bringing down the queen, and we also think that the eldest prince and the second prince should not be able to become emperors, it is best to let them stay away, what we are doing now is to let them check and balance each other, and we never thought that they can be above the checks and balances."

"Above checks and balances?" After a long time, he became interested, and sat down to correct, "What are you still doing these dumb riddles, just say what you have." ”

Cao Tingyue said, "Why don't we just pull the two camps apart and let them face each other directly?" A light flashed in Cao Tingyue's eyes, "When the time comes, no matter which side falls first, we will always be the fisherman's profit, and the rest will only be seriously damaged, and when the time comes, it will not be so difficult to deal with." ”

I slowly understood what Cao Tingyu meant.

If it is necessary to start a fight, it can be big or small, and if it is not done well, it may be in vain all their previous plans and intentions.

But everything in the world seems to be like this.

The higher the risk, the greater the benefits once successful.

"The most important thing, this result, I guess, will not be much different from the order we originally wanted."

Chi Chi originally wanted the order, and the one who came first must have asked the queen to fall first.

Next, consider the order of these two princes as appropriate.

And Cao Tingyu means ...... It is estimated that even if the two sides face off, it should still be the queen's side that loses at that time.

But I don't understand it for a long time.

In addition to the second prince, the queen's camp also has the child in the belly of the second princess, and the queen sits firmly in the East Palace, so it stands to reason that the queen's chances of winning should be much greater.

But Cao Tingyu judged that it was the queen who lost this time.

looked at him for a long time, just with this one look, Cao Tingyue understood the point that he didn't understand.

He said, "This is not the time to count the heads, even if you count the child in the womb of the second princess, it is useless." The eldest prince is more determined, knowing what he wants and what he doesn't want, but the second prince is different. He was very cowardly, and if he knew that his actions were likely to cause many people to suffer, he would not have dared to do so. No, maybe it can't be said that you don't dare, you can say that you don't want to. ”

Chi Chi said, "Do you think it's because of soft-heartedness?" ”

"In this kind of position, the most intolerable thing is soft-heartedness, after all, if you don't kill others, other people's knives will be on your neck. It's just a pity that our second prince has lived in and out of the palace for so many years, and he still doesn't understand anything. ”

Chi still has questions, "Then do you think the second prince will be willing to be ruthless to the queen?" ”

"It doesn't matter if he is willing or not, what matters is whether we can give him a reasonable reason."

Raised eyebrows slowly.

Suddenly it was understood, "You mean...... His mother? ”

"Yes. The matter of the queen and his mother, although there are no more people in the palace who know about it, but you can also see the performance of the eldest prince over the years. ”

Chi nodded, "He's already suspicious." ”

"I'm afraid it's not just suspicious."

Chi Chi laughed, "But he can't find any evidence, the queen did things more than she does now, and the level of ruthlessness back then, if there are such means now, I'm afraid that if we want to bring her down, it will take a lot of effort." ”

"There are some things that need evidence, and you can prove it by heart."

"But if he wants to go that far, it seems that it is not enough to just prove it."

"If we really need him to take this step, we'll give him a little proof. His Highness doesn't have to worry. ”

I got it for a long time.

She nodded, "So, you mean, this time...... Ready to do it? ”

"I originally had a line in the Second Prince's Mansion, but I didn't want to move it this time, this line is still buried, and after that, it is estimated that it will be of great use." Cao Tingyue stood up, "Okay, I have to leave to explain this matter to you, and I have to take a look at the Second Prince's Mansion in person, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to arrange it later." ”

Chi Chi naturally didn't leave him behind, and when he walked towards the door, he suddenly remembered something, and then straightened up and stopped him.

Cao Tingyue turned his head to look at her.

After a long time, I saw that his whole person melted into the light, and it was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

She could hear her own heartbeat deafening again and again.

She pursed her lips, then ignored all of this and said, "Be careful yourself. ”

Cao Tingyue smiled at her, "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong." ”

With that, he hurried away.

Of course, Chi Chi knew that nothing would happen, and he was just going to the Second Prince's Mansion.

But whether it is Chi Chi or Cao Tingyu, they all know very well what Chi Chi means by what he said.

Of course, it's not that he's going to be careful this time today.

Rather, they all knew that if they were really going to embark on the path they were discussing today.

Then there will be no more boiled frogs in warm water, and there will be no more stability and security.

This journey is estimated to be thorns and difficulties, and it is estimated that there will be many dangers.

Chi Chi's sentence "Be careful yourself" is not for Cao Tingyue now, but for Cao Tingyue from now on until their business is completed.
