Chapter 567 Possible Consequences

On the surface, Prince Yi sided with Prince Duan, but now she was trying to instigate a fight between Prince Duan and Prince Xian.

It is still unknown who will win or lose between the two.

If Prince Duan wins, Prince Yi will have no choice but to keep quiet.

If Prince Xian wins, Prince Yi can take this opportunity to break free from the control of Prince Duan's party.

But what's next?

There will definitely be a day when Prince Yi and Prince Xian will meet face to face.

"Isn't it the right time? What other plans does the prince have?" Zhong Yuziran could hear the hidden meaning.

Zhou Chang couldn't reveal his own little plan now, so he could only play it safe for now: "In short, the matter of 'privately manufacturing weapons and intending to rebel' is a serious matter. Unless there is solid evidence, it is not easy to test it or hand it over to others, so as not to alert the enemy and bring disaster upon yourself."

Zhong Yu didn't get an answer, but he always agreed with this statement, so he nodded as well.

So Zhou Chang concluded: "Sir, just focus on these two things first, and we will take our time with the rest."

"However, has your Highness ever thought about this..." Zhong Yu still had questions. "Although we have made them fight each other, it is estimated that the Xian Prince will have the upper hand. After all, the words of a small eunuch can only be heard, and cannot be used as evidence. It is estimated that without actual evidence, it will be difficult for the Duan Prince to overthrow the Xian Prince. As far as the current situation in the court is concerned, the strength of the prince is still the weakest. The most advantageous action should be to maintain this situation unchanged and secretly strengthen its own strength by relying on the power of the Duan Prince's party. When the prince can stand on his own, he can break this balance. At that time, if he wants to take further action, he can take the initiative. Otherwise, if the situation is broken now, it will not actually form a three-legged tripod, but still a fight between the snipe and the clam. But in this way, where can the prince increase his strength?"

"That's true." Zhou Chang had to admit it, but he avoided answering how to increase Prince Yi's strength.

Somehow, deep in my heart, there was always a surge that I couldn't explain, but it seemed like I wanted Prince Duan to fail.

If Prince Duan fails and Prince Duan's party ceases to exist, then...

Even why didn't all this happen earlier, so that he wouldn't have to have another fake marriage with Yuan Yun.

"Not right, not right..." Zhong Yuze shook his head on the other side. "Your Majesty should also know what I am going to say. Could it be that Your Majesty really does not care about the benefits that the Gu family may bring to Your Majesty?"

Zhou Chang didn't want to dwell on the emotions in his heart, but once they were touched, they became stronger, so he couldn't admit it: "Sir, don't you also know the most common truth, the so-called 'good and bad are interdependent'? Even if we can take advantage of Prince Duan's party today, there is no guarantee that we won't be attacked by the Gu family in the future. What can we use to resist then?"

"Well, what the prince said makes sense, but if it is true, then Prince Xian is inferior to Prince Rong..." Zhong Yu looked down one step, "Prince Xian is still a little bit inferior. In this case, after all we have done, I am afraid that Prince Rong will have the upper hand, but still..."

Zhou Chang has always known that Zhong Yu had no good impression of Prince Rong, and she was confused about how she felt about Prince Rong now. However, not wanting to embarrass Zhong Yu, he took over the topic: "I know that from the current evidence, the most likely person to go down is Prince Duan. Even if Prince Xian is affected, it won't shake the foundation after all, because there is insufficient evidence. As for Brother Prince Rong...well, everything about him...was originally all speculation. Even if Prince Rong wants to take the throne in the future, that is human nature. But his reputation is there, and it seems that he deserves that position more than anyone else..."

As I got further and further away, I couldn't continue.

Zhong Yuhe didn't understand the meaning behind the words, but he still asked: "Since the prince has thought of it, do you still want to do it?"

Zhou Chang finally nodded: "I know what you said, sir, but how can we know what will happen next if we don't take any action? Moreover, from the evidence from various sources, someone between Prince Duan and Prince Xian must have participated in the kidnapping of Yuan Yu, and may have colluded with the enemy gang to kidnap him. You just said that we don't have the power now, so as long as one of Prince Duan and Prince Xian steps down, no matter which one it is, it will be beneficial for us to further investigate the kidnapping case."

"Your Highness, regarding the Yuan family's affairs, the passing of Master Yuan is indeed..." Zhong Yu wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

The matter was settled, and after further consideration of some of the details, Zhong Yucai took his leave when he felt it was ready.

Zhou Chang had gotten up late today, and after he finished discussing with Zhong Yu, he had already found that the sun was setting.

How come time suddenly goes so fast, as if it has grown two more legs.

Just as he was secretly shaking his head, Nanny Sun from the study came over again asking to see him.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Chang didn't recognize anyone around Yuan Yun, but he was very impressed by the short and fat figure of Nanny Sun.

Nanny Sun was still short and plump, and she was wearing a melon green dress today. She bowed and smiled brightly, "Your Highness has worked hard this time. The princess originally learned about your return last night, but she couldn't bear to disturb you because it was late, so she prepared a banquet in the back hall today to welcome your Highness."

Oh, this is to invite Prince Yi to dinner.

Zhou Chang was unhappy from the bottom of his heart.

Nanny Sun smiled brightly, "Your Highness has been gone for several months, and you left in such a hurry that the princess didn't even have a chance to say a word to you. In the past few months, the princess has been worried every day, worried that Your Highness didn't eat or sleep well outside, and worried that Your Highness was tired. As a result, she has no appetite and has lost a lot of weight."

Zhou Chang didn't believe it, but he was indeed in too much of a hurry when he rushed from Jindu to Beiji.

And if Nanny Sun hadn't told her, she wouldn't have been able to remember it. When she said goodbye to Zhong Yu and gave Aunt Jing many instructions, she didn't even think of Yuan Yun.

During the time he was in Beijing, he never wrote a single letter to Yuan Yun.

From an outsider's perspective, Prince Yi is still her husband in name only, so it is really unjustifiable for him to be so cold to him.

Once a person has done something wrong, he will become soft-hearted, so it would be difficult for Zhou Chang to refuse. Moreover, since Yuan Yun asked Nanny Sun to invite him, it was a must, so he had to agree.

Afterwards, Zhou Chang took the skinny monkey to the bedroom separated by a wall.

Yuan Yun did look a little thinner than my previous impression, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as Nanny Sun said.

Zhou Chang felt somewhat guilty and handled the situation carefully.

Yuan Yun, on the other hand, changed her previous temper. Not only did she not complain about Prince Yi leaving without saying goodbye, she also comforted Prince Yi for his hard work and even personally served the dishes and added soup, allowing Zhou Chang to have a rare and sumptuous dinner.

At this point, Zhou Chang got an unexpected surprise, and his relationship with Yuan Yun was greatly eased.
