Chapter Ninety-Six: The Trapped Beast
Chapter Ninety-Six: The Trapped Beast
Zhong Lishuo only felt that it was dark for a moment. Why did such a big thing happen in the Jingshi just a few days after he left, his mind was in a mess, he paused for a moment, raised his face to look at Chen Tong, and asked:
"Where is the concubine now?" Chen Tong also looked solemn and said slowly:
"I think I was trapped in the palace by the prince. Presumably, the prince's current idea is to usurp the throne, but I am afraid that Your Highness, you will return to Beijing now, and there will be more than one luck. Zhong Lishuo's heartbeat missed a beat, he had been like that before, and he had finally pulled the prince down from the position of the prince, but now the emperor died suddenly, but he didn't know where to go. Zhong Lishuo felt his palms gradually chill, and his thinking suddenly stopped. He tried to think of a way, but he couldn't do anything. After a while, he asked:
"So where is General Wentai now?" Chen Tong hesitated for a quarter of an hour and said:
"General Wentai must be at home now. The court and the central government have set off a dispute between the two factions, but because the first emperor did not dare to be too public, many ministers accused the second prince of usurping the throne, but the second prince said that the first emperor had not established a prince, and now he said that he would not do anything, and he was once the crown prince, so he was more qualified to supervise the country. Zhong Lishuo was furious, he never thought that he would be in such an unfavorable situation, his hands gradually clenched, and a fist suddenly smashed into the small case beside him, only to hear a muffled sound. Wen Shumei saw that Zhong Lishuo was so angry, and immediately stepped forward to persuade:
"I think it's my father who shouldn't move more now. If the second prince detects it, the day when he wants to come to His Royal Highness to turn the tables is even more distant. Now that the mother concubine is in his hands again, His Royal Highness must calm his anger, and only wait for the right time to fight back. Zhong Lishuo had never seen Wen Shumei say such thoughtful words. He raised his eyes to look at Wen Shumei, exhaled slowly, and paused for a moment before looking up at Chen Tong:
"You go to General Wentai to deploy first, and there is news in the Beijing Division, saying that the second prince is really usurping power, and the anger of the second prince must be aroused. I guess he won't let me go back to mourn at this time. You have to let General Wentai grasp this point and everyone render it. After speaking, he stretched out a hand and shook Chen Tong's hand fiercely, but the next sentence was extremely heavy:
"Whether you succeed or fail, it's all up to you." Chen Tong's eyebrows suddenly froze, and he vigorously shook Zhong Lishuo's hand:
"Ministers should serve themselves." After speaking, Chen Tong let go of Zhong Lishuo's hand and went out of the tent. He walked out of the tent and subconsciously walked towards the back of the tent, but Jinse was caught by him. Jin Se just raised a slight smile and looked at Chen Tong, but there was no displeasure on Chen Tong's face. He made a silent gesture towards Jin Se, and motioned for Jin Se to take two steps with him. Although Jin Se was reluctant in his heart, he listened to the conversation he had with Zhong Lishuo in the tent just now, and he also understood the stakes. followed Chen Tong over.
After arriving at the tent in another place, Chen Tong stopped, and he turned to look at Jin Se with a wary and playful expression, and a meaningful smile rose at the corner of his mouth. Chen Tong's smile seemed to be a little ill-intentioned in Jin Se's eyes, and Jin Se didn't have a good impression of Chen Tong in the first place, she suddenly turned cold and said in a low voice:
"I don't know what General Chen has to say. Could it be that I hurt you because I was angry? Chen Tongfang still felt that Jin Se was a little softer than the last time they met, and when she said this, Chen Tong felt that he thought too much, and Jin Se had not changed at all, and was even more scathing than before. Chen Tong also put away his smile and said slowly:
"Miss Jinse, you and I are no longer hostile, why are you still so aggressive?" Jin Se raised his eyebrows and straightened his eyes, but did not speak. Chen Tong took a deep breath, and continued with Jin Se in a softer tone:
"Miss Jinse, don't be careful, I don't mean anything else. I think you already know the situation of Your Highness and us. If there is a slight mistake in the middle, you and I will become prisoners. Thinking about it, Miss Jinse also knows how cruel the royal war is, and that's what the king said. The meaning in Chen Tong's words was too obvious, Jin Se could naturally hear what he meant, and she smiled:
"You mean let me help the eldest prince?" Chen Tong was obviously stunned, Jin Se actually called Zhong Lishuo the eldest prince, which was a bit raw, but thinking about it, it would be a little too unrealistic to treat two capable enemies as an alliance overnight. But at the moment, Chen Tong can't take care of a lot, if the second prince is allowed to take the lead at this time, not to mention missing out on this world, it is more likely that he will not be able to live in this life. The price was too heavy for him to take the risk. He lowered his head and said slowly:
"Miss Jinse's resourcefulness Chen Tong has seen it. If there is Miss Jinse's help, it will be much easier to win the world. Although Chen Tong doesn't have much affection for Miss Jinse, for the sake of our dynasty to prosper and to keep the head on his neck, Chen Tong still hopes that Miss Jinse can help. Jin Se suddenly laughed, and she pouted:
"I don't know about the soldiers. But if it's a life-threatening matter, I'm willing to give it a try. You don't have to say that much. You don't like me, and I don't necessarily like you. But if you are trapped here, there are things that need to be considered, and you should be. If I think about it, you must know that this step is wrong, and you can't afford to gamble, and the eldest prince can't afford to gamble. The eldest prince has already sent you to deal with it, and General Chen doesn't have to bother with me. Let's go first. Jin Se said, making a sideways movement, intending to send Chen Tong away, Chen Tong didn't say much, he naturally understood that what Fang just said had completely expressed his meaning. So he passed by Jin Se before leaving, Jin Se suddenly thought of the arrogant woman in gorgeous clothes, and suddenly stopped Chen Tong, Chen Tong turned around with some doubts, and Jin Se said expressionlessly:
"Who is that woman?" Chen Tongyi frowned, not understanding what Jin Se said. He was stunned for a moment, recalled Wen Shumei, suddenly laughed, and said:
"You mean the woman who came with me?" Jinse didn't answer, but nodded. Chen Tong's smile was even stronger:
"She is the princess of His Royal Highness, the eldest daughter of General Wentai, named Wen Shumei, and has been married to His Royal Highness for more than four years. However, Miss Jinse also knows that royal marriages are not about feelings, most of them are power transactions, so you don't have to take them too seriously. After Chen Tong finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. Jin Se was stunned for a while before returning to the taste. It turned out that Chen Tong thought that she had eaten Wen Shumei's vinegar, and told her not to take it to heart.
Jin Se felt displeased, but he couldn't tell it. After a moment of silence, she went back to her tent, maybe she needed to think about something else.
