If we can save his life here, he can continue to be of use to us. Even if he can't continue to stay in the Black Qilin Guard, we can arrange for him to be exiled and become a nail in our army."

Duke Cheng En pondered for a long time before asking, "How confident are you about this matter?"

Chen Shou smiled proudly: "At least 80%!"

"Eighty percent? Are you that sure?" Duke Cheng'en found it hard to believe. "Did you do anything else?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that the medicine lady is good at gynecology, so I arranged for someone to be with her."

Chen Shou smiled calmly, his tone relaxed and casual, as if he was just talking about an ordinary little thing, "In order to conceive a dragon heir, Jiang Lin used every possible means, and even asked the Black Kirin Guards to search for a miracle doctor everywhere.

If she heard about this medicine woman, she would definitely send people to look for her. So all she had to do was spread the news, bragging about the medicine woman's medical skills, and wait for Jiang Lin to take the bait. The rest would be easy.

Unfortunately, I arranged for someone to assassinate him halfway, but Luo Zheng was well prepared and deliberately arranged a substitute.

However, no matter how smart he was, he would never have thought that even if he found the medicine lady, he would not be able to bring her back to the capital alive.

And in the capital, a death trap had already been prepared for him, waiting for him to fall into it!

If he fails to bring back the miracle doctor, he will face death! The emperor's suspicion is the sharpest knife in the world."

Duke Cheng'en stroked his beard, and his eyes brightened the more he listened.

"You've done a great job. Luo Zheng will definitely die. There's really no need to worry anymore!"

Chen Shou laughed sarcastically, "It's just that Jiang Lin is too stubborn. She's already thirty-three, and she's still dreaming of getting pregnant with a dragon heir. What a foolish dream!"

Duke Cheng En sneered disdainfully: "She is a witch concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people. Once she loses the emperor's favor, she will have no way out. Naturally, she will put in a lot of effort.

However, no matter how much she did, she would never be able to conceive a dragon heir. When she was completely old and her beauty faded, how long could the emperor's favor last?

It’s just a pity that…”

"Father." Chen Shou suddenly interrupted him, "Why bother talking about what's already happened? Instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to think more about the future. Jiang Lin is no longer young, and we have plenty of opportunities."

Lord Cheng'en's expression hardened. "You're right. Let's continue with the plan. However, we need to find a way to eliminate Xie Xiu. As long as he's alive, he'll be a threat. The previous story might be related to him."

Chen Shou said calmly, "He is just an insignificant little figure now, but the fact that Xu Maochun killed him has become known to everyone, so it is not appropriate to take action against him now.

Otherwise, if something happens to him, it will inevitably lead to countless speculations. Once this storm has passed and people outside have forgotten about it, we can arrange an accident and get rid of him."

His tone revealed a condescending indifference. Xie Xiu was just a small scholar now and was not worthy of his attention at all.

As for his little daughter...

Oh, if Situ Yuan died suddenly, would the princess still regard her as her lucky star?

"That's quite good." Duke Cheng'en nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest first. We'll check on the news from the palace tomorrow."

It is too late now and the palace gates have been closed for a long time. No news from inside can be transmitted out. We can only wait and see tomorrow.

Chen Shou stood up, said goodbye to Cheng En, turned around and walked out.

Neither of them noticed that a small green vine was quietly hiding under the window outside the study.

Just as Chen Shou walked out of the study, a transparent thread instantly spread out and wrapped around the bonsai placed at the door of the study.

As soon as Chen Shou came out of the study, the servant waiting at the door immediately came with a lantern to lead the way for him.

He also specifically reminded: "Prince, please be careful with your steps."

Chen Shou quickly opened his folding fan and shook it gently: "Is it possible that I could fall down in my own home?"
