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

At this moment, the cost of building the bridge has exceeded ten thousand, and Lin Chen has completed most of the work.

The soldiers were very surprised when the ten thousand taels of silver were distributed. However, the reward would not be distributed until the princess inspected the scene.

Lin Chen thought that it had taken a lot of energy to work here with these soldiers during this period of time, and the enthusiastic participation of the people had made their project more complete, and the manufacturing of each process was inseparable from everyone's hard work.

The soldier looked at the bridge in front of him and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

I wonder if the local economy will be boosted after the bridge is built?

Lin Chen was just thinking that if the bridge was opened, there would definitely be a lot of people passing by here, and the moat in this area would also become a scenic spot.

The long river in front of me has a slow flow of water, and the bridge forms a complete arc above it.

The elaborately carved reliefs on it shine in the sunlight.

Lin Chen also knew that he had to go at this moment.

Once you step into the dynastic strife, there is no turning back.

The Crown Prince had also heard about the bridge's construction, but at this moment, a gloomy cloud hung over the Crown Prince's Mansion. Sitting on a high platform, the Crown Prince looked down upon the people below. He slammed the table and demanded, "Why was such a large project left to the Princess alone? If this work were recorded before the Emperor, I wonder how much more he would value her."

The prince had already broken his promise, and now he was even more angry and humiliated, but his retainers did not dare to say a word.

Everyone knows that the prince has a violent temperament. If you say something wrong, it may arouse his anger. Moreover, the forces in the entire city are complicated and intertwined. This time, the moonlit night at the prince's mansion has gathered many capable soldiers.

The prince was furious in front of the case, and all the knowledgeable people present had their own thoughts.

How could a good time for drinking on a moonlit night turn into a place for condemnation and criticism?

What a coincidence, General Su Zheng was also here this time.

Su Zheng was already feeling apologetic, but seeing the prince so anxious, he could only offer a plan. "There are many scholars and literati in the city this time, and there's also a garden party being held during the Lantern Festival. The location is right next to the bridge over the moat. If we secretly destroy the bridge, and something goes wrong, the princess's reputation will be ruined. After all, he built the bridge himself."

Su Zhengxian's plan was vicious enough. After hearing it, the prince considered it again and again and asked.

"Wouldn't that arouse suspicion? After all, if one of our people goes over there, someone will die. Wouldn't that be too obvious?"

The prince's concerns were also the concerns of other retainers. After all, the bridge had just been built, and no one should have died. However, suddenly because of the participation of many forces in the garden party, the bridge collapsed. How could it be so sudden?

Therefore, these retainers were also worried about whether the prince's actions would be questioned. After all, this was no small matter. If a bridge collapsed, everyone would suffer. Then the bridge would have to be repaired again, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to report to the princess.

But this was exactly what Su Zheng meant, and he directly pointed out his thoughts.

"Making it difficult for the princess is to make her lose confidence in the emperor. That way, she will do what she wants, and the emperor won't think anything bad of our Crown Prince."

"Furthermore, the Crown Prince is still dormant in the city, doing nothing, yet news of the bridge collapse suddenly appears. It must be the Princess' fault, and everyone would think so. After all, the Princess had one of her retainers build it personally, so they must have suffered the most."

"After all, the old emperor is not unaware that our Crown Prince has been silent for several days."

"So this is an easy thing to do. Just join the garden party and quietly collapse the bridge again."

After Su Zheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked and confused. After all, this was a matter of life and death. If the truth was discovered, the prince would be doomed.

But the prince had exactly this intention. He was willing to do anything as long as he could drag the princess into the water.

Moreover, this fatal incident had nothing to do with the prince. The bridge just collapsed, so the people who built it were responsible.

Moreover, the construction of the entire bridge is also related to these soldiers. Everyone knows that a large number of soldiers have arrived in the capital recently. It is said that they are all troops recruited by the retainer Lin Chen for the princess.

So these soldiers who entered the country were also outsiders. Everyone would think that these outsiders disturbed their normal lives, causing the bridge to be in poor repair, which led to the loss of life.

The prince's eyes became complicated when he thought of this. These were the only ways to deal with the princess. After all, it was not in his favor now.

They could only act secretly, mess everything up, and make the princess lose the support of the people, so that the troops might be driven out.

By then, His Majesty the Emperor might think that these troops are here to cause trouble and might even disband them.

The prince was only thinking about how to bring down the princess, but he never thought about what Su Zheng's intention was in proposing this plan?

The counselors below also thought of this, but they did not dare to speak out. After all, the bridge was built because of the people's complaints. It was hard not to be suspicious when it was finally repaired and then suddenly messed up.

Moreover, these people also witnessed the entire construction site and knew that the construction stones and all the materials were of very good quality.

So generally there will be no problem.

If the bridge collapsed now, wouldn’t these people think something?

Building a bridge is not easy, but the prince destroyed it for his own benefit. It seems that the prince is also obsessed with victory. Other knowledgeable people did not say anything, knowing that the prince is also very snobbish. It is not easy to remind him for fear of bringing about fatal disaster. After all, the prince has a fickle personality.

When the prince noticed that few people present were willing to speak, he asked in confusion, "Don't you counselors have anything to say? If you have any plans, please share them."

However, these counselors were thinking, how dare I tell you? You already want to destroy the bridge and kill people. If I tell you that this won’t work, I’m afraid you will come up with more sinister methods, so we’d better not say anything.

These counselors simply felt that the prince was too focused on himself and completely disregarded the people of the world. If he ascended the throne in the future, he would probably be a tyrant.

Although they couldn't predict the prince's character, they could feel at that moment that many lives would be lost in his hands.

But no matter what, these have nothing to do with these counselors. What happens to the prince depends on his luck.

But it would be a bad idea to remain silent, so one of the counselors took the initiative to say, "Prince, you should give this strategy a try."

He did not say anything against it because his advisers did not dare to say it directly.
