After a tense day, Zhu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief when he returned to his bed.

I thought Chu Linghan would kill her directly, and then she would take advantage of the situation and escape.

Find a comfortable place to hide, grow slowly, practice killing skills, and find a way to restore your superpowers.

Even though her parents would be heartbroken upon learning of her death, given Chu Linghan's character, they would definitely feel guilty towards them and take good care of them.

Before they die, she will sneak back and take them away, and the family will be reunited.

But Chu Linghan didn't know if his brain was filled with water. He didn't kill her, and even threatened her, even though she was a fatal factor that could threaten the safety of the Han Palace.

She thought she was not a scheming, thoughtful, or emotional person, so when she expressed her loyalty, she didn't dare to have any random thoughts in her mind.

If Chu Linghan wanted to kill her directly, she could still use her special powers to protect her lifeline, causing her to fake her death and successfully escape.

But using family members to threaten people is despicable.

As for which pill she swallowed without hesitation, it was because she didn't take it seriously at all.

No matter how poisonous it is, it is not as poisonous as the mutant plants of the end of the world. It is nothing in front of the healing power.

Just when I was worrying about how to quickly recover my supernatural powers, I didn't expect that the three cracked beads in my dantian would emit a soft light, and the cracks were slowly repairing.

Zhu Jiu blinked her eyes in confusion. What happened? She didn't do anything?

How come my superpowers are recovering now that I haven’t eaten, drunk, or exercised?

Thinking carefully about the activities of this day, it is different from the past, just like taking an extra dose of poison.

Could it be possible that poison could restore superpowers?

But that's not right! After she ate it, when Chu Linghan wasn't paying attention to her, she used her supernatural powers to expel the poison from her body.

Zhu Jiu scratched his hair in annoyance and confusion. His messy head had no idea at all.

Pingyuan Marquis Mansion

Pingyuan Hou Ji Hongzhang's face was terribly gloomy, and Ji Yuze, with a bruised face, dared not breathe.

Ji Yuchuan, who was pale and coughing softly, suppressed the strangeness in his throat and comforted

"Father, Prince Han has been away from the capital for eight years. He has grown to this point. None of us expected him to grow to this point.

But fortunately, he cares about family ties, which is a blessing in disguise for us."

Ji Hongzhang's heart was bleeding. Not only did he have to vomit out the silver he had swallowed, but he also had to lose manpower. He also had to put his lifeline in the hands of King Han.

More importantly, without the eight million taels of silver, their plans would not go as smoothly.

Ji Yuze said, "Father, the King of Cold came unexpectedly. I am afraid that he will continue to investigate and expose more things. After a lot of struggle, I made this decision.

I am a useless son. I did not do what my father asked me to do. Please punish me, father."

Ji Hongzhang glanced at Ji Yuze and said, "Although something unexpected happened, this is the best way to deal with it. You did a great job.

It's just that our original plan may not be implemented smoothly.

King Han is not easy to control! ! "

Ji Yuchuan's face was pale, and he showed a feminine smile, "Father, Prince Han has never been close to our family, but he always responds to my aunt's requests, and he is also obedient to Prince Xuan and the princess.

The way King Han chose to handle this incident was enough to show that his aunt was his weak spot.

This is a delicate relationship. As long as my aunt handles it properly, Prince Han will definitely be the sharpest knife and the bravest warrior in the hands of Prince Xuan's cousin."

Ji Hongzhang pondered for a moment and said, "I will find a time to discuss this with your aunt.

We can't make any moves in the short term, and you should also control your men."

Ji Yuze said, "I understand, father, if the money doesn't keep up, the plan to expand the scale may have to be terminated.

The situation in the court is not optimistic. More and more people support the prince. We have lost three people who have a say in the court this time.

My son is really unsure. If this continues, will King Xuan have any chance? "

The Ji family was risking everything on this, and they didn't even dare to think about the consequences if King Xuan was defeated.

Ji Hongzhang said, "The Ji family is at odds with the Queen's family, and your aunt is also at odds with the Queen. The hatred didn't build up overnight.

Now with the Emperor's mediation, we can still maintain the peace on the surface.

Once the emperor dies and the prince takes the throne, our Ji family will soon be exterminated.

If fighting means death and not fighting means death, then why not gamble your life and property?

Besides, we have a chance of winning, right?"

Ji Yuchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, what you mean is that the key to our victory lies in King Han?"

Ji Hongzhang smiled. He was very satisfied with his youngest son's intelligence. Unfortunately, his health was not good.

"The emperor will secretly mediate the feud between us and the Xiao family. He just doesn't want the prince's family to dominate. He wants to support a prince to compete with the prince, so that the Ji family and the Xiao family can check and balance each other.

The only adult princes born to the Emperor are the Crown Prince, born to the Empress, the Prince of Han and the Prince of Xuan, born to Concubine Chen, the Prince of Sheng, born to Concubine Xi, and the Prince of Che, born to Concubine Zhuang.

The prince is born to the queen, so this natural advantage has won the support of a large number of people.

Prince Xuan is favored by the emperor, has a very good reputation, and is quite capable. In addition to our family, there are also some people who support him.

Although Prince Han had just returned to the capital and had no foundation in the court, he not only had the power of 200,000 soldiers, but was also the commander of the Jinyiwei.

King Sheng was obsessed with poetry and romance, and had no interest in the court.

Prince Che's maternal family is weak, and Concubine Zhuang is not favored

Among these princes, only Prince Han and Prince Xuan can be supported to compete with the Crown Prince.

But compared to these two, King Xuan is easier to control."

Ji Yuze had a big doubt in his mind, "But father, isn't the emperor afraid that Prince Han and Prince Xuan will work together to overwhelm the prince?"

Ji Hongzhang stroked his beard and said, "Everyone else would think so, but you are the only one who knows that King Han is not your aunt's son."

Ji Yuchuan suppressed his cough and said, "Father means that the emperor supports Prince Xuan to compete with the crown prince. From the beginning, Prince Han helped Prince Xuan out of kinship and offended the crown prince, eliminating the possibility of Prince Han joining the crown prince.

When Prince Xuan becomes powerful, the Emperor will let Prince Han know his true life story. He will know that his filial mother is the murderer of his mother, and he will definitely not help Prince Xuan anymore. Then Prince Xuan will lose an arm.

By then, King Han will not join the Crown Prince's camp.

Then the power of the court will be in a three-way balance of power.

The emperor can then sit back and relax, watching the fight between tigers."

Ji Yuze suddenly realized, "So the Emperor appointed Prince Han as the commander of the Jinyiwei as soon as he returned to the capital. He was taking the opportunity to build momentum for Prince Xuan and pave the way for the three-way confrontation in the future?"

Ji Hongzhang said, "Our success or failure depends on Prince Han. The emperor wants a three-way balance of power, so we should cut off one of his legs to prevent Prince Han and Prince Xuan from having a rift.

The only person who knew the truth of the past, apart from the Emperor, Concubine Chen and our Ji family, was Nanny Jin who was by the side of Prince Han's biological mother.

But Nanny Jin seemed to have disappeared from the world overnight.

I have been looking for him for twenty years but still can’t find him. I guess he might be in the hands of the emperor.”

Ji Yuchuan said, "This person is extremely important. Even if she is in the hands of the emperor, we must find a way to get rid of her."

But how easy is it to get rid of the people protected by the emperor?

There was a moment of silence in the study. The man in black who heard the whole truth left quietly, just like when he came.
