Chapter 973 The Prince's Ambition
The Yinsitai of Shuying County dispatched all the guards to guard Ning Yunxi's safety.
Fearing that there was a shortage of manpower, the person in charge went to the county's supervisory office in person to borrow some troops to guard the Yinsi Office.
Thinking that they could take care of each other, Ning Yunxi and the other two lived in the same room.
It was already dusk, and Gu Yihe and Ning Yunxi were planning to change clothes and go to bed, but Mi Yao thought for a moment and stopped them.
"You two are in a hurry to rest."
"I have something that I feel I need to talk about."
Gu Yihe stretched and walked towards the bed.
"If you have anything to say, why don't you wait until you wake up and talk about it?"
"Before dawn, Shengjing Yinsitai will send someone to take us back. After we go back, we have to figure out how to break the situation and rescue the officials of the Supervisory Office. I am tired and sleepy now, and I just want to seize the time and have a good sleep."
Ning Yunxi put down what she was doing and sat next to her fourth sister.
"Fourth sister, are you going to tell me about His Royal Highness Prince Li's plan to gain a foothold in the court?"
Mi Yao nodded.
"It is also."
When Gu Yihe heard this, he became interested, trotted over and sat down.
Ning Yunxi sat upright with a solemn expression.
"I heard him say that he intended to murder King Dijin. Is that true or false?"
Mi Yao answered with dignity.
"it is true."
"The prince has already made a plan, and Prince Dijin is in danger."
She emphasized.
"I may be suspected of betraying my master by revealing the prince's plan, but please do not doubt me, sister. I am sincere and will not treat you like this."
Gu Yihe expressed his feelings and opinions and comforted them.
"Betraying your eldest brother is not a betrayal. He is not a good person. It is wise for you to turn from evil to good."
She adjusted her sitting posture, supporting her chin with her hands, as if listening.
"Tell us the plan quickly so we can discuss how to deal with it."
Mi Yao began to narrate in a calm and relaxed tone.
"The prince first imitated the strategy used by the Sixth Princess before and abducted the Third Sister, so as to transfer the Supervisory Office and imprison her."
"Then, he followed the Sixth Princess's plan and abducted Lord Hongshun, using it to transfer the people of Tongshitai away and imprisoned them."
Having said this, Gu Yihe felt depressed and unhappy.
"He is using a strategy of sowing discord again to guard against me and return to my father's service."
"Big Brother is so insidious."
Upon hearing that his uncle might be in danger, Ning Yunxi asked solemnly.
"Did Prince Li tell us how to capture Lord Hongshun?"
Recalling the conversation among the crowd, Mi Yao answered earnestly and analyzed calmly.
"They discussed the plan from beginning to end, as if nothing was left out. I listened very carefully, but I just couldn't hear how they plotted against Lord Hongshun."
"After sorting out the clues, I roughly judged that they seem to have someone that Earl Hongshun values."
"As for who that person is, they never mentioned it, so I don't know."
She was not bothered and just laughed it off.
"Lord Hongshun is a minister of the Emperor. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with us. Why should we care about him?"
"I will continue to tell you the plan."
"When the people from the Tongshitai are transferred away, the prince will devise a plan to make them think that the emperor has fallen into the hands of Prince Dijin, and then they will attack Prince Dijin's mansion to rescue him."
"The prince took advantage of the chaos and arranged for his own people to infiltrate the Tongshitai group, quietly eliminate Prince Dijin, frame the Tongshitai, and make it public. The emperor plotted to kill his master."
"If the emperor forgets his master and betrays his loyalty, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the world and public opinion will boil over. At this time, the prince will lead the Supervisory Guard to attack the emperor and avenge Prince Di Jin."
"The two enemies attacked each other, and both suffered losses. The prince took advantage of the situation to quell the unrest, led his people, launched a righteous cause, reaped the benefits, and won the hearts of the people in the world."
"The prince's ambition is not to gain a foothold in the court, but to seize the country in one fell swoop."
"The situation is settled. The prince will disclose the secrets of the Tongshitai mansion to prove his background, show that he is a victim, and win sympathy."
"Save all living beings and sever ties with the flatterers. In this way, when the prince ascends the throne, the whole world will sincerely submit."
Ning Yunxi was deeply shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
"How could they have come up with such a brilliant plan?"
"No wonder Big Brother left me a plan and told me to get rid of Prince Li and his people."
"If I hadn't been so lucky as to gain the trust of my fourth sister and learn of her plan, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a brilliant plan even if I racked my brains, let alone think of a countermeasure."
Mi Yao's eyes are full of tenderness and affection.
"Comparison with the third sister is not quite appropriate."
"This is the result of a joint plan by the prince and the other gentlemen of Beizhaotai."
"You are alone, and your abilities are limited. How can you compare with all these extraordinary people?"
After comforting her, she got back to the topic.
"There is one doubt that I still can't figure out."
"The prince has ordered me to collect your purses, sachets and other belongings and give them to Lord Zhuo."
"On the afternoon of the day you entered Danbo Ya's residence, I took away your belongings and reported to Lord Zhuo."
"The next day, Lord Zhuo ordered his subordinates to send those things to Shengjing for Lord Xin to use in his plan."
"I don't know what plan Lord Xin is going to use?"
Ning Yunxi speculated.
"They wanted to use my belongings to convince Lord Hongshun that I had fallen into their hands, and to lure Lord Hongshun to rescue me."
Mi Yao looked incredulous.
"Hongshunbo, come to rescue you?"
"But why?"
"Aren't you two enemies?"
Ning Yunxi told the truth.
"Hongshun Bo and Jingshan Gong replaced each other's identities."
"Indeed, Lord Hongshun is my uncle, Fang Zhixuan."
Mi Yao was stunned.
"what?!"
"So, the person that the prince holds in his hands and that Earl Hongshun values is you."
She was angry.
"Humph, they all know the secrets, but no one tells me."
"Sure enough, to them, I am an outsider."
Gu Yihe asked urgently.
"Don't rush to complain, get down to business first."
"When does my eldest brother plan to kidnap Master Zhuang?"
"Is it too late for us to stop it now?"
Mi Yao was helpless and remained silent.
Ning Yunxi understood and her heart sank.
"I think so. It's too late."
"No matter when they plan to carry out this part, they will adapt to the situation and implement it immediately."
"Third Senior Brother has probably already made his move. At the earliest tonight, at the latest early tomorrow morning, Uncle will definitely come to the Danbo Ya Residence."
"Everyone in Beizhaotai believes that my uncle has betrayed the family, so they hold a grudge against him. My uncle is in a precarious situation, and I cannot abandon him."
"The Emperor recognized the transfer plan, which was planned by the Sixth Princess. In order to save my brother, he must have launched a large-scale hunt for the Sixth Princess. Shengjing, Your Highness cannot return for the time being."
"Prince Li is forcing us to return to our elegant residence."
Gu Yihe is cautious.
"I will hide my tracks and go investigate first. If we are sure that Master Zhuang is in Danbo Ya's house, it won't be too late for us to go back."
Ning Yunxi resolutely refused.
"I will go investigate and return alone."
"You stay."
"Prince Li intends to obstruct you. You probably can't escape Shuying County, but staying in Yinsitai is also good. At least you can guarantee your safety."
Gu Yihe rejected it.
"We are in trouble together. I can't abandon you."
Mi Yao held her sister's hands tightly.
"I am also determined not to separate from you."
