I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Well, that's a good analysis. Keep going. I'm listening."

The prince listened to the plan proposed by his adviser, which sounded good.

The prince met this strategist when he was traveling in the past. He was not only an strategist, but also a friend and playmate.

This strategist is named Zhang Yang. He is brave and resourceful, a rare genius. During all the years he has been in power, Zhang Yang has helped him a lot and solved many problems.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang went out to gain experience for a few years, and he had just returned not long ago. The prince couldn't help but come to see his old friend. When Zhang Yang told him about what he had experienced in recent days, Zhang Yang was furious and felt very angry. His good friend had suffered such a big loss in these days. It was really hateful and unforgivable.

Now that Zhang Yang is back, the prince feels a little relieved. After all, he highly recognizes Zhang Yang's abilities. Using such a talent to deal with a little princess can be said to be stress-free. It feels like bullying a child.

A stone in my heart fell. Now that Zhang Yang is back, the pressure is not so great anymore.

He believed that Zhang Yang's talent was definitely not worse than that of Lin Chen, the princess's retainer!

"When the princess volunteered to go with you, the Crown Prince, to the northwest of Qin to help alleviate the severe drought, Your Highness would have more opportunities to act. You should know that the northwest is sparsely populated, and we have influence there. There's no need to worry about the princess causing any trouble there. Everything is under our control, so rest assured, Crown Prince!"

Zhang Yang picked up a glass of wine and drank it, saying with a smile.

When dealing with such small characters, Zhang Yang didn't take them seriously at all. He only needed to use a little trick to make sure they would never return. This was his confidence and his talent. Why would these small characters fight with him?

"So that's how it is. Your plan is brilliant, much better than those incompetent subordinates of mine! I asked you to come to my Prince's Mansion before, but you kept rejecting me. Oh, what a pity! Otherwise, if I had your help, would I still be afraid of a mere princess? Oh, every time I think of those incompetent subordinates of mine, I get so angry. Really, none of them are useful. I'm drunk just looking at them. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. If it keeps on like this, I feel that sooner or later, the throne of the Crown Prince I sit on will be lost and taken away by someone else!"

The prince said somewhat disappointedly that he had been in such a miserable state these days. He had lived for so long, but had never been as miserable as he had been in these days. It felt like this period of time was his darkest moment.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely help you. This time, I will definitely give you good news. As for why Your Highness said I wouldn't go to the Prince's Mansion, I actually had already agreed to this matter with Your Highness. I don't like constraints, I only like freedom, so I have been traveling and enjoying the scenery for the past few years. My state of mind has been greatly improved, so I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

Zhang Yang said respectfully.

In fact, the real situation is that he does not want to be involved in the intrigues of the court. He is not interested in such things. Instead of doing this, he might as well go out and see the mountains and rivers, which is better than living in fear in the court.

In fact, the same goes for the prince. Zhang Yang has already noticed that the prince has been caught up in these intrigues and struggles, and it seems that he will not be able to get out in a short time.

After all, he is the crown prince. The crown prince is different from others. He is the successor to the throne in the future. Throughout the dynasties, there have been people waiting for me, the crown prince. As long as someone is in the position of crown prince, there is no one who does not get caught up in the intrigue and struggle. This is a process that must be experienced.

How can you see the dawn without experiencing cruel struggle?

And this happened in the imperial family. Since ancient times, imperial families have been the most ruthless. They can kill their brothers, sisters, or even sisters for power. Therefore, there is a widely circulated saying that it is better to be born in an ordinary family than in an imperial family.

Zhang Yang did not deny this statement. He did not think that the current prince lived a better life than himself. He was free now, traveling around and having fun. His life was much better than that of some children from wealthy aristocratic families!

"Zhang Yang, you know, I don't take this matter to heart. I just said it, and I don't mean anything else. You know, I am a person who does not force others. If you don't want to join the Prince's Mansion in my East Palace, then don't join. Now that you are willing to help me, I am very grateful to you. What else do I ask of you?"

The prince picked up a bowl of tea and said as he drank.

"Well, I know your character, Prince, so I also know that you won't force anyone to do anything. This may be the last time I help you. After helping you this time, I want to go into seclusion. I hate the trivialities of this world, so it's better to go into seclusion and find some peace and quiet!"

Zhang Yang looked at the prince and spoke.

"No problem, I support you. I will come to see you often when the time comes!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. I believe that after I help Your Highness remove these final obstacles, no one will be able to dethrone Your Highness. I would like to congratulate Your Highness in advance on your ascension to the throne!"

Zhang Yang clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

……………………………………………………………

All these words were heard by Lin Chen who was hiding next door. Lin Chen's face showed joy at this time. He knew such an important matter. It turned out that he was right. The prince did have ideas about him and wanted to take action against him. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to hear the next actions and plans of the prince and his advisers here, otherwise he might not even know how he died.

This is truly a blessing from God!

Lin Chen had to admire him. The strategist invited by the prince this time was indeed very capable and was many times stronger than his subordinates. However, such a person must not stay by the prince's side, otherwise he would be in danger.

Any uncertain factors need to be eliminated, especially for Lin Chen, such factors must not exist!

"Your Highness, it looks like we have something fun to do again!"

Lin Chen smiled. The prince was determined to kill him after all. He thought that the prince would not kill him so quickly, but he was wrong. It seemed that the prince hated him to the core.
