Venomous Empress Reborn-Chapter 725 - 725 Admiration (4)

725 Admiration (4)

The crown prince had an advantage in terms of title to begin with. Coupled with the Shen family’s military power, his chances of winning were much higher. How could Prince Zhou not be anxious? 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

“In that case, it’s better to let that girl from the Shen family marry Ninth Brother than the crown prince,” Prince Zhou said in a low voice. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

“Ninth Brother?” Prince Jing smiled meaningfully. “Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother is not as simple as we think.”

“Are you talking about the matter regarding Shen Wan?” Prince Zhou said. “To be honest, among the nine of us, who doesn’t have ambition for the throne? Even if Ninth Brother wants to win, he has to have the ability. Not many people in the imperial court are willing to side with him.”

Fu Xiuyi and Shen Wan were very close in private and had an unclear relationship with the crown prince of the State of Qin. When the princes heard this, they were wary of Fu Xiuyi, but in the end, they did not take him as the biggest enemy. The reason was that Fu Xiuyi did not participate in the imperial court for many years. Even if he had the ambition, he did not have the strength. Compared to him, there was a bigger enemy.

Prince Jing shook his head. “Fourth Brother, don’t underestimate Ninth Brother. I have a feeling that he’s hiding it very well.”

Prince Zhou waved his hand impatiently. “Why do you keep mentioning Ninth Brother for no reason? I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you.” Prince Zhou lowered his tone. “We can’t just sit back and watch the military power of the Shen family fall into the hands of the crown prince. If the crown prince gets the military power, and now that the crown princess has given birth to a son, our chances will be even lower. I’ve been fighting with Prince Li for so long. I don’t want the crown prince to take advantage of the situation.”

“Fourth Brother, you mean?”

“We have to stop this marriage from happening.” Prince Zhou smiled cruelly. “It’s best if they become enemies.”

“There are thousands of ways to make enemies. Which one are you mentioning, Fourth Brother?” Prince Jing asked.

“Of course the one where blood is shed.” Prince Zhou put down his wine glass and said, “Didn’t that girl from the Shen family also want to marry Ninth Brother? She definitely doesn’t want to marry the crown prince. In that case, why don’t we help her?”

“It won’t be easy to make a move on Shen Miao.” Prince Jing said, “Last time, after Shen Miao was kidnapped, Shen Xin gave her twice as many guards. How are we going to make a move?”

Prince Zhou smiled. “We can’t make a move outside, but we can in the palace.” He said smugly, “After she enters the palace, no matter how many guards there are, they have to wait outside. After she enters the palace, she will be in our trap. I’ve asked around. Tomorrow, that girl from the Shen family will enter the palace alone. When she enters the palace to see the empress, it will be our chance to make a move.”

Prince Jing said, “It’s easier to take action in the palace, but it’s also easier for us to be exposed if they investigate.”

“That’s why we have to resort to the tactic of killing two birds with one stone.” Prince Zhou smiled. “What do you think about framing Sixth Brother?”

Prince Jing’s eyes lit up.

The two of them had been competing with Prince Li’s faction for so many years. If anything happened to Shen Miao in the palace this time, Shen Xin, who doted on Shen Miao, would definitely blame the crown prince. If not for the fact that the crown prince wanted to marry Shen Miao, Shen Miao would not have been in trouble. The crown prince and the Shen family would have become enemies. In the end, Prince Li, who was framed, would not be able to get anything out of it.

Prince Jing smiled and said, “Fourth Brother, this idea is not bad, but we have to set it up carefully to prevent any flaws. Someone, call my aides over.”

…

Coincidentally, while Prince Zhou was discussing the assassination of Shen Miao tomorrow, Prince Li was also troubled by this matter.
