“Yes!”
The advisor nodded.
[Age 61, Chen Qianxue met with Qin Jiao alone. Chen Qianxue asked Qin Jiao to pretend to betray her and then use the opportunity to enter the camp of the Crown Prince of Great Wei. By the side of the Crown Prince of Great Wei, she gained his trust and brought information about the actions of the Crown Prince of Great Wei.]
[Before Qin Jiao could do this, this matter had already reached the ears of the Crown Prince of Great Wei. The Crown Prince of Great Wei’s expression was extremely dark. He felt that his wealth had been given away for nothing.]
[That woman, Qin Jiao, not only took his money, but she also didn’t help him. She even wanted to scheme against him in secret.]
[Age 62, Qin Jiao took the initiative to meet with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince of Great Wei met with her with murderous intent and was prepared to get rid of this woman today. However, Qin Jiao took the initiative to reveal Chen Qianxue’s scheme to the Crown Prince of Great Wei.]
[The Crown Prince of Great Wei was stunned.]
[Qin Jiao admitted that she was a person of honor. After receiving money, she naturally had to do things for others. The murderous intent in the Crown Prince of Great Wei dissipated, and he felt rather guilty. He felt like a petty person who judged too quickly.]
[…]
“Am I being too paranoid?” Looking at Qin Jiao’s departing figure, Great Wei’s Crown Prince shook his head. He said, “If Chang Ning’s vicious scheme was used well enough to make me fall into a passive position, she could continue to be Chang Ning’s closest confidant.”
“However, she didn’t care about the risks and revealed such a sinister and cunning scheme to me. Before this, I actually thought that she wanted to receive the money and didn’t do anything.”
Hearing this, the advisor hesitated for a moment and said, “Your Highness, it’s definitely not wrong to be a little more careful.”
“Not everyone can be like Miss Qin, who is so particular about credibility.”
The advisor continued, “Especially in the Immortal cultivation world.”
“There are even fewer people who are so particular about credibility.”
“Your Highness, Princess Chang Ning is not simple. It’s also not wrong for you to be careful. Because in a game of chess with Princess Chang Ning, if you make a wrong move, it might be dangerous.”
The Crown Prince of Great Wei nodded. He swept away the trace of guilt in his heart and said with a smile, “Although you have only been with me for less than 40 years, the uniqueness of your insight is something that others can not compare to.”
The advisor lowered his head and said humbly, “Your Highness, you praise me too much. How can I be compared to the seniors?”
“Your Highness.” The advisor suddenly said, “Princess Chang Ning wants to use Miss Qin to deliberately betray her, so that Miss Qin will deliberately join you. Can we use this to make Miss Qin carry out Princess Chang Ning’s plan and let Miss Qin join us openly?”
“However, when the time comes, all the information that Miss Qin passed on to Princess Chang Ning will be intentionally released by us. In this way, the person who is being played will become Princess Chang Ning!”
“She would never have thought that her schemes and tricks would be used by you, Your Highness!”
“She would never have thought that Miss Qin was not pretending to betray her. Instead, she was truly betraying her!”
Great Wei’s Crown Prince’s eyes lit up. “Alright! We will do as you say! Chang Ning will obediently be a Princess for the rest of her life. I want to let her know that not everyone can covet my position!”
[Age 63, another major incident happened in the Imperial Palace. It was rumored that Qin Jiao and Chen Qianxue fell out over benefits. There really were people who transferred Qin Jiao to the Crown Prince. As a result, Princess Chang Ning did not eat or drink for several days and did not go out to meet guests.]
[Age 65, Qin Jiao secretly passed information that was either true or false to Chen Qianxue.]
[Age 66, Chen Qianxue carried out an operation according to the contents of the information. It was a huge success and caused the Crown Prince of Great Wei to lose face. However, the Crown Prince of Great Wei was not angry.]
[That’s because he purposely asked Qin Jiao to pass this information to Chen Qianxue. He intentionally lost face to confuse Chen Qianxue!]
[Age 69, Chen Qianxue received another piece of information. This was the true information that the Crown Prince of Great Wei had intentionally released. Because of this, the Crown Prince of Great Wei was once again at a disadvantage in the open and secret battles with Chen Qianxue.]
[Many officials in the Imperial Court had different thoughts and switched to Chen Qianxue’s camp.]
[Age 73, Chen Qianxue received another piece of information. However, this time, it was the Crown Prince of Great Wei who used the false information that Qin Jiao had released. Everything was already prepared. He wanted to give Chen Qianxue a fatal blow!]
[With this blow, he had 100% confidence that Chen Qianxue would never be able to covet the position of the crown again!]
“Sir, if this plan succeeds, I will let you become the first advisor of the Crown Prince’s residence! hahaha!”
The Crown Prince of Great Wei laughed, “No matter what, Chang Ning would never have thought that Qin Jiao, whom she trusted so much, would be under my command!”
“She thought that she could fool me, but in reality…”
“The one who was fooled was her!”
“Recently, a place in the Great Wei dynasty was ravaged by a natural disaster, and I ordered someone to prepare a batch of disaster relief supplies. I told Father about this in advance according to what you said.”
“I also told Father that in order to ensure that the disaster relief supplies were not coveted by thieves, the flying ship that was transported this time was not in the name of transporting disaster relief supplies.”
“Instead, it was secretly transported to the disaster area in the name of transporting goods.”
“Father also felt that this was done well.”
At this point…
The Crown Prince of Great Wei paused, and then continued, “However, the content that I passed on to Chang Ning through Qin Jiao was that I wanted to transport a batch of valuable goods. If this batch of goods were robbed, even I would be greatly injured.”
“In order to deal with me, Chang Ning naturally wouldn’t let go of this good opportunity. In addition, I gave her two chances to deal with me, and both of them were successful.”
“Chang Ning will definitely make a move, but unfortunately…”
The Crown Prince of Great Wei laughed, “What she doesn’t know is that this batch of so-called goods that can hurt me greatly are disaster relief supplies! Some of them were taken out by Father from the national treasury. At the same time, Father’s people were also there to escort the flying boat.”
“Father takes disaster relief very seriously. I remember an Uncle once neglected to provide disaster relief to the common people. After he was discovered by Father, he removed his status as a member of the Royal Family and was demoted to a commoner.”
“One can imagine how furious Father would be if Chang Ning made a move.”
“She has already lost! The advantage in this chess game lies with me!”
Hearing this, the advisor also laughed and said, “As long as Princess Chang Ning’s people make a move, our people will appear and stop Princess Chang Ning’s people from escaping. This matter will also spread throughout the entire Great Wei dynasty and reach the ears of His Majesty. This is a seamless net!”
“Your Highness is wise!”
The Crown Prince of Great Wei laughed and said, “Isn’t this a vicious scheme that you came up with, Sir? I never thought that you would come up with such a plan, hahaha!”
[Age 74, the Crown Prince of Great Wei’s scheme seems to have played a crucial role. On the way to transport the supplies, the flying ship did indeed encounter a group of people. They attacked!]
[The Immortal cultivators transporting the disaster relief supplies had engaged in a great battle with the Dao hijackers!]
[The people who were hidden in the shadows arranged by the Great Wei Crown Prince to wait and see what would happen. After more than half of the Immortal cultivators transporting the disaster relief supplies had been killed or injured, they would act to stop the Dao Robbers.]
[However, the people arranged by the Great Wei Crown Prince were extremely stupefied to discover that they recognized the group of people from the Dao Robbers! The people who were robbing the disaster relief supplies were actually people from the Crown Prince’s residence!]
“The people from the Crown Prince’s mansion who were preparing to catch fish were stunned.”
“The people from the Dao of Robbery were also stunned.”
“The people who were robbed were even more stunned.”
“When the Immortal cultivators arranged by Chen Fengyin to escort the disaster relief materials saw this situation, they seemed to think of something unbelievable, and a chill ran down their spine!”
“Why do you want to rob us?!” The people arranged by the Crown Prince of Great Wei, who were preparing to catch turtles in a jar, could not help but ask in surprise, “Aren’t you people from the Crown Prince’s residence?!”
The group of people who were trying to rob them said in a daze, “It’s that advisor of His Highness who asked us to rob you… he said that this is an order from His Highness the Crown Prince!”
The Immortal cultivator who Chen Fengyin had arranged to escort the supplies covered the wounds on his body, he said in disbelief and anger, “The Crown Prince’s residence… Cough cough… wants to steal the disaster relief supplies?! The Crown Prince… how dare he do such a thing!? I… I want to report this to His Majesty!”
“Damn it!”
It was not that there were no smart people in the Crown Prince’s residence. Immediately, someone’s expression turned extremely ugly. “Not good, this person wants to use a Communication Talisman! Kill him! We can’t let His Highness the Crown Prince be tainted with such a stigma!”
“…”
