Chapter 1504: Chapter 1503: This time, too ferocious and cunning

In the bedroom, silence fell once again.

Finally, it was Feng Yexuan’s indifferent voice that broke the quiet atmosphere.

"At this point, thinking too much is useless. Instead, think about how to proceed in the future."

The Yue Prince has been slain, and his forces are about to be dismantled.

During this period, new forces will inevitably rise one after another.

The only advantage now is that under the Yue Prince, there are no outstanding figures, that is, no core leaders.

With Chu Minghao also fallen, no one can rightfully take over all of the Yue Prince’s forces, so the generals under his command will definitely seek their own benefits.

Before a new major force forms, what they must do is take them down one by one.

Gather some of the Yue Prince’s forces, and the rest, being too scattered and weak, are not worth fearing.

Eventually, they can be gradually reclaimed step by step.

But this requires a process, and the process also demands a lot of work from them.

"Instead of spending time lamenting for Lili’s future, why not think about how to win over the old subordinates of the Yue Prince?"

Feng Yexuan’s words suddenly enlightened Chu Lingyang and Chu Wang, bringing them to their senses.

Chu Qianli smiled calmly, the smile returning to her lips: "Lord Yexuan is right. What’s done is done. Mourning and regret are futile. Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, why don’t we discuss what everyone needs to do next?"

"It seems like you two have already made plans?" Chu Wang glanced at the two of them.

When did these two become so in tune with each other again?

Or perhaps, has their tacit understanding always existed?

For a long period, Chu Qianli was giving out assignments.

It was nighttime when Chu Lingyang finally left the palace.

Unexpectedly, Lan Ji was waiting at the door this time.

Seeing the Princess standing outside the palace, Chu Lingyang looked surprised and quickly leapt off his horse.

"Lanlan, why are you here?"

"Waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" Chu Lingyang walked briskly towards her, "What’s the matter? Why do you look so worried?"

Lan Ji glanced in the direction of the palace before calling for the groom.

Chu Lingyang had no choice but to hand over his horse to the guard and return by carriage with his wife.

Strangely, Lan Ji did not allow the groom to follow and sat in the front seat herself.

Chu Lingyang didn’t ask much, taking on the role of the groom, personally driving the carriage away.

Along the way, Lan Ji remained silent, yet her mind was heavy with thoughts.

Chu Lingyang knew she had something to say, but now was not the time.

Towards his wife, after more than twenty years, the Loyal Prince remained ever patient.

Even if she said nothing, he silently protected her.

At the mansion, the carriage drove directly to Lan Ji’s courtyard.

Lan Ji dismissed all the guards and servants, leading Chu Lingyang by the hand into her room.

"Lanlan, what’s going on? Is it the matter with the Loyal Brother that upsets you?"

"The Yue Prince got what he deserved; he’s beyond redemption. There’s no reason for me to be upset."

After all, causing so many deaths, anyone else would have to atone with their life.

It’s just that...

She looked at Chu Lingyang, still filled with worry.

"I know you trust your royal niece, but this time, your royal niece... her methods are too ruthless and cunning!"

Lan Ji bit her lip, her voice becoming very small: "I am very worried that one day, if you threaten her position, will she... use such means to harm you?"
