Women were always the type that were easily underestimated.
It was precisely because he understood this that Wang Chong didn't deny it, nor did he hesitate in the slightest. Any action that one thought to be clever would ultimately be the victim of one's own ingenuity.
"Is it really you?"
The two of them were stunned by Wang Chong's words. Even Consort Tai Zhen didn't expect Wang Chong to admit to it so easily.
"It's me!"
Wang Chong admitted once more.
"Why?"
Consort Tai Zhen suddenly asked curiously. The Wang Clan had already established a relationship with the First Prince, and the First Prince was likely to be the future heir apparent.
Since ancient times, the rule of 'First Prince' wasn't something that could be said casually.
Of the princes, the First Prince had the highest chance of inheriting the throne. Consort Tai Zhen couldn't understand why Wang Chong would take such a huge risk to go against his big uncle just to help the Fifth Prince, who didn't seem to be of any benefit to the Wang Clan.
"What is this Wang Clan's Qilin son thinking?"
Consort Tai Zhen stared at Wang Chong with a glint in her eyes. She suddenly felt a strong sense of curiosity. It would be one thing if he was an ordinary person, but the person before her was Wang Chong.
Regardless of whether it was his' Song of Purity and Peace ', or his inconceivable feat of persuading The King of Song to change his mind and support her when he entered the palace, or his actions in the regional commanders incident...
Even the god-like Supreme Emperor, whom he revered the most, was full of praise for this young man who was only in his teens.
Regardless of which angle she looked at it from, the young man before her wasn't an ordinary person. He couldn't be judged using common sense.
Consort Tai Zhen suddenly wanted to know what drove this miracle. Why would this young man disregard the stance of his clan and the First Prince to come to her Yuzhen Palace to recommend the unknown Fifth Prince to her?
How did he come up with such thoughts?
"This …"
Wang Chong glanced at the mysterious white-clothed beautiful women on both sides of Consort Tai Zhen. Consort Tai Zhen understood and raised her wrist slightly. The two of them understood and left respectfully.
Soon, only Consort Tai Zhen, Yang Zhao, and Wang Chong were left in the room.
"It's very simple. It's because my thoughts are different from my uncle's. I think that the future Crown Prince is probably not the First Prince, but His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
After the two white clothed beautiful women left, Wang Chong shocked the world with a brilliant feat and said without the slightest hesitation. Wang Chong did not hide anything and immediately told him the secret he had discovered from the Fifth Prince.
When Consort Tai Zhen and Yang Zhao heard Wang Chong say that the Fifth Prince was the future Son of Heaven, they were already dumbfounded. When they heard that Li Heng's dragon-shaped supreme art was a five-fingered true dragon, the two of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Even Yang Zhao, who had the least understanding of the struggles in the palace, knew what a five-fingered true dragon meant. If Wang Chong leaked this secret, it would definitely cause an earth-shattering transformation in the palace.
When the princes learned that Li Heng could suddenly cultivate martial arts, they were all filled with killing intent. If they knew that the Holy Emperor had passed on a five-fingered true dragon technique to him, even if it meant being punished by the Holy Emperor, they would definitely kill him.
For a moment, the two cousins looked at the youth in the hall like they had seen a ghost. This was no ordinary news or intelligence report, but a massive secret that could alter the course of the War of the Princes.
Although he was young, the intelligence in Wang Chong's grasp was so astonishing that even the most formidable king of spies would be flabbergasted.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Wang Chong said nothing, but his mind was in turmoil. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained.' In normal circumstances, he would never have told anyone about the Fifth Prince.
But if the Fifth Prince wanted to survive this calamity, he needed Consort Tai Zhen's help. And if he wanted to truly obtain her help, there were some secrets that he had to tell her.
Only this way could he obtain her trust.
The facts proved that Wang Chong's risk had not been in vain. The shock on the faces of Consort Tai Zhen and Yang Zhao was enough to show that his words had affected them.
If one were to say that the Fifth Prince was just a young prince who didn't have much power at the start, then right now, his position in the hearts of Consort Taizhen and Yang Zhao had undoubtedly risen to a whole new level.
"Your Majesty, the War of the Princes is no small matter. It is not strange for Your Majesty to be unable to quickly make a decision. This matter is not urgent, and Your Majesty still has plenty of time to think. But Wang Chong still has a few words for Your Majesty! I hope that Your Majesty can open it after Wang Chong leaves. "
As Wang Chong spoke, he suddenly took out a letter that he had hidden in his sleeve. 'Strike while the iron is hot'. Taking advantage of the fact that his words had taken effect on Consort Tai Zhen and the fact that the Fifth Prince's status in Consort Tai Zhen's eyes had greatly increased, Wang Chong took out his final trump card.
Whether or not it could take effect on Consort Tai Zhen and make her completely decide to stand on the Fifth Prince's side would depend on this final letter.
"Wang Chong, what's the matter? Can't you tell me face to face? Do you really have to write a letter? "
Seeing the letter Wang Chong had taken out, Consort Tai Zhen had a strange expression on her face. It was something that could clearly be explained face to face, but Wang Chong had insisted on taking out a letter. Anyone who saw this would find it very strange.
"No! Your Majesty will understand after reading it. "
Wang Chong held the letter with both hands and shook his head. This time, he was abnormally determined. There were some things that could only be thought of, not done. There were some things that could only be seen, not spoken.
"I understand. Bring it over."
"Then Wang Chong will take his leave!"
Wang Chong handed over the letter and did not linger any longer. Before the palace gates completely closed, he left Yuzhen Palace.
Almost at the same time that Wang Chong turned to leave, Consort Tai Zhen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she could not hold back her curiosity and opened the letter. She pulled out the letter with the crooked handwriting.
Weng!
With just a single glance, Consort Tai Zhen's mind was thrown into disarray. A hint of panic flashed across her eyes. However, it was only for an instant before she concealed it.
Other than herself, not even Yang Zhao, who was right next to her, noticed it.
"Little Sister, what exactly did this brat write?"
Yang Zhao leaned over and glanced at the letter in her hands as he asked curiously. He was really very curious as to what exactly Wang Chong had insisted on writing on the letter and not saying it in front of him.
"It's nothing!"
To his surprise, Consort Tai Zhen, who had always trusted Yang Zhao and shared all her secrets with him, suddenly crushed both the letter and the envelope into powder.
Before Yang Zhao could even catch a glimpse of a single word, the letter had already vanished into thin air.
This had never happened before left Yang Zhao flabbergasted. He stood there in a daze, somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
"Cousin, pass on my decree. Take one of my jade pendants and bestow it on Fifth Prince Li Heng. Say that he performed the sword dance in front of the palace and performed to the Holy Emperor. I am very appreciative of his filial piety and have specially bestowed it to him! "
After saying this, Consort Tai Zhen turned and left, entering the inner hall.
Behind her, Yang Zhao was dumbstruck.
Even if you beat him to death, he still wouldn't understand what Consort Tai Zhen had seen in Wang Chong's letter for her to be in such a panic. Moreover, Consort Tai Zhen clearly hadn't made up her mind before.
Why had she immediately changed her mind after reading Wang Chong's letter and decided to bestow a jade pendant on Li Heng? Moreover, she had even made it clear that she would pass on her decree. Wasn't this basically announcing to the entire palace that she would protect Prince Li Heng in the future?
This was the exact opposite of his cousin's original intention of not lightly getting involved in the War of the Princes!
"Yes, this lowly subject will carry out the decree!"
Yang Zhao sighed, gave a deep bow, and then turned to leave. No matter what decision his little sister had made, he would do his utmost to carry it out.
But what he couldn't understand was what sort of bewitching drug his sworn brother had fed Consort Tai Zhen for her to have such a massive change in attitude after reading a single letter.
This sworn brother of mine … really isn't someone a normal person can fathom!
Yang Zhao sighed, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad, angry or happy. Shaking his head, he quickly walked out of Yuzhen Palace.
He could almost imagine that after he left this place, there would probably be another earth-shattering wave in the depths of the palace.
Given his cousin's current status, she would definitely be able to stir up another storm in the palace.
Meanwhile, Consort Tai Zhen was walking through the depths of Yuzhen Palace, her mind in turmoil, frustrated and frustrated. In her mind, Wang Chong's crooked handwriting replayed over and over again.
Although the letter had been burned by her, the words on the letter became more and more profound, deeply imprinting themselves into her mind.
"Generally speaking, when one uses beauty to deal with others, when beauty fades, love flees, and flees leads to the end of kindness!"
In the letter Wang Chong had written to Consort Tai Zhen, there was nothing else, only this simple line that had no head or tail. Although it was simple, Consort Tai Zhen already understood Wang Chong's meaning.
This line had not been created by Wang Chong, but more than one thousand years ago in the Great Qin Empire. At the time, when a lobbyist of the Qin Empire had persuaded the most favored Madam Hua Yang to accept Qin Yiren as her adopted son, he had said these words.
And the latter would one day become the future heir apparent of the Great Qin Empire, giving birth to the first emperor in the history of the Central Plains, First Emperor Ying Zheng, just like the current Holy Emperor.
Madam Hua Yang had no children, but she doted on her son, just like her.
Qin Yiren, on the other hand, wandered the world without anyone to rely on and was not valued, just like Fifth Prince Li Heng. But all these metaphors could not compare to the simple line on the surface of the letter.
'Generally speaking, when one uses beauty to deal with others, when beauty fades, love flees, and flees leads to the end of kindness.' Consort Tai Zhen was well aware of how she had risen to her current position, which was why she was so anxious, which was why Wang Chong's words had such a great impact on her.
Wang Chong had said so many things and revealed so many secrets, but none of them could compare to the shock that these words had given her.
Because this truly was the greatest worry and taboo in the depths of her heart that she had never mentioned to anyone.
"Wang Chong, I hope that this consort did not make an error in judgment!"
