Wandering the Heavens

"Prajna, I'm glad you're here, otherwise I would have become Xiao Jingyan's stepping stone without even realizing it." Xiao Jinghuan was becoming more and more fond of Qin Prajna.

The person in front of him not only had extremely high strategy, but also had an amazing appearance and a captivating temperament. Xiao Jinghuan was attracted by him at first sight.

"Your Highness, this is Prajna's duty to her lord." Qin Prajna avoided Xiao Jinghuan's ambiguous gaze.

As Princess Xuanji's favorite disciple, Qin Banruo could see through a man's thoughts at a glance. Prince Yu had long lost any halo in her heart. She remembered what Yu Xian had said, that the blood of the Xiao family was so vicious. Although the man in front of her was Princess Linglong's child, his surname was Xiao, and he was the son of that man. This surname brought him endless power and glory.

There was no way he would give up the supreme throne that was within his grasp to vindicate the Hua clan, which had been destroyed by his father's despicable scheme.

"I hope you are more than just a counselor." Xiao Jinghuan wanted to grab Qin Prajna's hand.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. I should go back to Hong Xiu Zhao." Qin Banruo saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly slipped away.

Xiao Jinghuan was left standing there awkwardly for a long time. When Qin Prajna left, she called herself "I", which showed her attitude. People are all cheap. Princess Yu was gentle and virtuous, but Prince Yu didn't take it to heart. That was the duty of a wife. However, Qin Prajna's attitude towards him made the Prince Yu, who was elegant in front of others, feel a little hot in his eyes.

In short, it’s hard to put it into words.

At the door of Hongxiu Zhao, Qin Banruo felt someone looking at her the moment she got off the carriage. She always thought that kind of look was normal in such occasions. After Yu Xian's training, she knew that the owner of that look was a spy from Jiangzuo League.

With the help of her maid, she walked into Hongxiuzhao without making a sound.

At Prince Mu's Mansion, Mu Nihuang and her brother were waiting for Yu Xian. When Yu Xian was answering Mu Qing's questions, Mu Nihuang was absent-minded the whole time.

"Are you worried about something?" After answering all the questions, Yu Xian called Mu Nihuang out of the room.

"Xia Dong came here in the afternoon. Was her experience today caused by you, sir?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"Her husband Nie Feng used to be the deputy commander of the Red Flame Army, so he will have no problem assisting the young prince. As for Xia Dong, Prince Mu's Mansion also lacks an institution similar to the Xuan Jingsi, and she is just the right person." Yu Xian said without reservation.

"But, she..." Mu Nihuang knew Xia Dong's character and knew that she would not compromise easily.

"As for how to make the couple return home, that is my business. You just need to urge the young prince to study." Yu Xian knew what she was worried about.

"Nihuang understands. Sir, can you tell me about Brother Nie Feng's situation?" Mu Nihuang was worried.

"He was poisoned by the so-called fire and cold poison just like Lin Shu, but I am already detoxifying him. I believe he will be back to normal soon." Yu Xian had previously mentioned to Mu Nihuang the reason why Lin Shu turned into Mei Changsu.

"Will Brother Nie Feng be the same as Brother Lin Shu?" Mu Nihuang asked worriedly.

"The detoxification method I used is beyond current medical technology. He will recover with just nursing. You don't have to worry. But it is also a fact that he has been tortured for so many years, and his lifespan and vitality have been damaged." Yu Xian replied.

"Sir, what exactly does Brother Lin Shu want to do? Prince Jing has been interfering in state affairs recently, and it seems like he is the one behind it." Mu Nihuang had another question.

"Him! He wants the emperor to admit his mistake, saying that it was the emperor who was wrong in destroying the Chiyan Army, killing the entire Lin family, and ordering the death of Prince Qi." Yu Xian's tone was very sarcastic when he said this.

"But what does this have to do with Prince Jing?" Mu Nihuang didn't understand.

"Both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu benefited from the collapse of Prince Qi's power. After ascending the throne, they had to choose to stand on the same side as Xiao Xuan and continue to deny the Red Flame Army. It became impossible to overturn the verdict on the Red Flame Army and Prince Qi. Therefore, he supported Prince Jing, who was raised by Prince Qi and is a good friend of Mei Changsu, to ascend the throne, and then forced Xiao Xuan to admit his mistakes. This was his method."

If Mei Changsu knew that Yu Xian had revealed his plan in just a few words, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"He planned this so carefully just to make the emperor admit his mistake?" Mu Nihuang didn't expect that her brother Lin Shu was so naive.

"When children are wronged, they cry loudly and make adults feel ashamed." Yu Xian said sarcastically.

Although this metaphor sounds harsh, it is true.

It is difficult to evaluate Lin Shu when he was the young commander of the Red Flame Army, but now he is a sophisticated and selfish politician. For example, he was involved in the Lanyuan corpse case, the He Wenxin murder case, the court debate, the interference with Mu Nihuang's marriage, etc. He explained to Xiao Jingyan that this was a reasonable use of resources.

"But, sir, should we also..." Mu Nihuang was a little worried at this moment.

"We are different from him. We openly say that we are bad people. We are not as awkward as Mei Changsu." Yu Xian did not have any psychological burden at all.

When Jinling was in chaos, Prince Mu's Mansion raised an army in the name of revenge for the Red Flame Army, with the slogan of "clearing the emperor's side". They invaded Jinling and punished the court officials and forces who participated in the incident. When the situation stabilized, they found that the emperor was the mastermind. Then they deposed Xiao Xuan and supported a young prince to ascend the throne. Mu Qing became regent and changed the system. Finally, Prince Ji and Yan Que came forward and wrote a letter to ask the young emperor to abdicate the throne to Mu Qing...

When they heard Yu Xian say this for the first time, both the sister and the brother were shocked. Could rebellion be carried out in this way? In the past, people would lead troops into the capital, slaughter the royal family and court officials, and then proclaim themselves emperor?

"Remember, the people only care about who treats them well, not the emperor's surname! Only people who are well fed will care about things like name and legal legitimacy!" Yu Xian warned.

"Nihuang understands. So now Prince Mu's Mansion needs to remain dormant and wait until the situation in Nanjing becomes unmanageable before launching an army?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"Prince Yu has an army, and this army will eventually launch a rebellion. That will be the time for Prince Mu's Palace to raise an army." Yu Xian naturally also took into account the Qingli Army commanded by Xu Anmo.

"Everything is up to you, sir." Mu Nihuang replied.

"Don't have any objections. Do you still remember Baili Qi?" Yu Xian was worried that she was still thinking about Lin Shu.

"He is from the Jiangzuo League." Mu Nihuang didn't know why Yu Xian brought this up.

"He participated in the marriage proposal at the instigation of Mei Changsu, because if you get married now, it will not be in line with his plan. No matter who you marry in the end, that family will be targeted by the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, and they will stop at nothing to win you over. However, the Prince Mu's Mansion is the power he left for Prince Jing, so he can't let you get married, at least not now. Therefore, he instructed Baili Qi to participate in the marriage proposal and let Xiao Xuan intervene in the competition, between marrying to the State of Yan and not marrying, and let Xiao Xuan accept the result of you not marrying." Yu Xian said it easily.

"I later heard that on the day of the murder in Zhaoren Palace, in addition to Commander Meng Zhi, Prince Jing was also looking for me. Could it be?" Mu Nihuang was in a bad mood.

"He had not expected that Yue would resort to such tactics, but he also made full use of this opportunity to get Prince Jing into your sight. If Sima Lei had not been suddenly killed that day, even if the love thread you drank had not taken effect, the scene would have been extremely embarrassing, because the other party were the imperial concubine and the crown prince, and your identity meant that you could not fall out with them. At this time, Prince Jing appeared in Zhaoren Palace, and argued with the emperor's favorite concubine and the crown prince for Princess Nihuang, and even resorted to subversion to speak for you. Would the princess have a good impression of Prince Jing, thinking that this prince was better than the crown prince and Prince Yu?" Yu Xian continued to coax.

"So that's how it is..." Mu Nihuang felt a chill in her heart after hearing this.

Lin Shu turned into Mei Changsu, and his tricks of playing with people's hearts were so skillful.

Where has the sincerity of the past gone?
