After retreating from Mingyuanzhai, An Qingfeng, who maintained a respectful expression, slowly closed the door.
The moment the door closed, the flattery on An Qingfeng's face disappeared and was replaced with dissatisfaction and disdain.
"You're clearly thinking about Consort Wen, but you still pretend to be indifferent. In the Xu Country Palace and in the Qin City Garden, you, Zhao Yu, did not have the same attitude. Consort Wen did not pay any attention to you at all, and you also did not pay any attention to Li Caimo, as if you were bored. "An Qingfeng began to speak.
How could An Qingfeng not know what kind of person Zhao Yu was?
Indeed, there weren't many things in this world that he cared about. He could appear to be magnanimous to his enemies, but that kind of enemy couldn't enter his eyes at all.
In the end, didn't he still have to deal with Zhu Minglang himself?
Zhu Minglang was a person whose situation was rather special.
After all, he was Zhu Tianguan's son. If they wanted to make a move, they had to capture him alive. If they wanted to kill him, they had to handle everything properly and not let the Zhu Tianguan have any evidence against them. Otherwise, their An Imperial Residence would have to suffer Zhu Tianguan's crazy revenge.
Previously, they had probed Zhu Minglang several times. On the one hand, they wanted to know if there was an Imperial Court master behind Zhu Minglang. On the other hand, they wanted to disgust Zhu Minglang. If they were serious, how could they let Zhao Yinge and Lu Mu …
"It was you who wanted to kill him, but in the end, you want my An Imperial Residence to take the blame!" An Qingfeng curled his lips.
Capturing and killing were two different things.
With the Zhu Sect's current strength, the An Imperial Residence would at most dare to capture Zhu Minglang alive and use him as a bargaining chip to force Zhu Tianguan to submit.
If they really killed him, even if the An Imperial Residence could withstand the Zhu Sect's revenge, it would probably be greatly damaged. This wouldn't benefit the An Imperial Residence at all.
Of course, unless they could do it flawlessly …
…
After An Qingfeng left, the young prince Zhao Yu still sat on the cattail hassock.
The surroundings were quiet, and the night was dark. A gust of wind blew past, stirring up the leaves. The leaves gave off an incomparably comfortable sound of rolling.
Right at this moment, the young prince Zhao Yu's gaze was focused on the door curtain. A figure silently floated in and stood beside the quiet lamp.
"Do you know that An Qingfeng is dealing with Zhu Minglang?" asked the hostage under the lamp.
"Of course, I was the one who instigated some of the actions," Prince Zhao Yu replied with a smile.
"Why?" The man from Dengzhan's tone became more serious.
"It suits my identity. If I had no enmity towards Zhu Minglang, why would An Qingfeng believe me? Zhu Wang Xing, you're still doubting me? Since I've been entrusted by Imperial Consort Zhu to help you get rid of Prince An's forces inside and outside the Zhu family, I, Zhao Yu, will naturally do my best … "The little prince Zhao Yu said with an honest expression.
Zhu Wang Xing walked out from under the lamp. He slowly bowed and said, "I wouldn't dare. It's just that Zhu Minglang's sudden appearance was a bit unexpected. After all, we didn't mention this to Zhu Tianguan."
"It's normal that Zhu Tianguan doesn't believe me. But Imperial Consort Zhu is like my mother. If I had sided with Prince An's Residence, do you think my coronation would have gone smoothly? Would I still have a place in the Extreme Court Dynasty? "said the young prince Zhao Yu.
"Then why did you instigate An Qingfeng to deal with Zhu Minglang?"
"Do you think that if I really wanted to deal with Zhu Minglang, he would still be safe and sound right now?" Zhao Yu asked back.
Zhu Wang Xing thought about this carefully. He felt that the young prince Zhao Yu's words made some sense. With the young prince's current strength, Zhu Minglang couldn't have stopped him.
"The fire-gathering ceremony is in four days. At that time, we might need the young prince's help. After all, if we bring anyone else, Prince An's Residence will be suspicious," said Zhu Wang Xing.
"Don't worry. Everything will go according to plan. Prince An's Residence's spies, spies, and the masters they sent to destroy the fire-gathering ceremony will all be caught in one fell swoop! After this, Prince An's Residence will be damaged. They won't be a threat to the Zhu Sect anymore, "replied the young prince Zhao Yu.
"Thank you for your help, young prince!" Zhu Wang Xing bowed to the young prince.
"Don't mention it. When I'm coronated, I'll still need the support of the Zhu Sect. Otherwise, the crown prince will drive me to the most remote place. He might even send me to Li Chuan. I'm just trying to survive. "The young prince Zhao Yu also bowed and said humbly.
The current Zhao Yu was completely different from when he talked with An Qingfeng. He was steady, calm, and humble. He didn't have the arrogance and arrogance of a prince.
It was as if this was his true self.
…
…
Zhu Wang Xing returned to the small inner court.
He sat in the room and carefully pondered the young prince Zhao Yu's words.
Not long ago, Zhu Wang Xing made a trip to the Imperial Capital.
Royal Consort Zhu had introduced the young prince, Zhao Yu, to him, and indicated that the young prince needed the support of the Zhu Family. He could assist them in getting rid of the spies, moles, and traitors that the Imperial Residence of King An had planted in the Zhu Family.
Therefore, Zhu Wang Xing had joined forces with the young prince Zhao Yu and purposely revealed information about the Zhu Sect's Secret Territory to the people of Prince An's Residence. They wanted to use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Prince An's Residence.
Everything went smoothly. Prince An's third son, An Qingfeng, had also personally appeared. However, Zhu Minglang had appeared without a word. This made Zhu Wang Xing worried …
Fortunately, Zhu Minglang wouldn't affect the entire plan too much.
There were many spies in the small inner court. Some had even betrayed them long ago. Zhu Wang Xing had noticed this long ago. If he didn't use strong methods, the small inner court would be limited in all aspects. They wouldn't be able to truly develop.
He hoped that this time, they would be completely wiped out.
At the same time, it would be a great contribution to the Zhu Sect and deal a heavy blow to Prince An's Residence.
The young prince Zhao Yu was personally recommended by Queen Zhu. With Queen Zhu around, if the young prince Zhao Yu leaned towards Prince An's Residence, he wouldn't have a good ending.
Zhu Wang Xing wasn't worried about this.
"Father, where did you go just now?" A pleasant voice sounded. Zhu Rongrong pushed open the door and walked in with a plate of snacks.
"I just went to relax. After all, it's almost the fire-making ceremony. It's hard to avoid thinking too much." When Zhu Wang Xing saw his daughter, the gloominess on his face quickly dissipated. He smiled, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a doting look.
"It's been so many years. Do you still get nervous?" Zhu Rongrong asked.
"After all, it's the most perfect year. You know how long I've waited for this year. Our Zhu Sect's people call us blacksmiths. In fact, we're just craftsmen. To a craftsman, the proudest thing is when others exclaim. This thing is so amazing. Could it be made by someone? Haha, in the past, not many people knew me, Zhu Wang Xing. However, after this year, it's different. Our Guqin City's inner court will be different. My casting will also be different … "Zhu Wang Xing opened his heart to Zhu Rongrong.
