The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Prime Minister's House.

After seeing Consort De emerge from the palace, Shen Xuan went directly to see Prime Minister Jiang.

“Father-in-law, my uncle was imprisoned today, and my father has made the seventh prince the crown prince. The crown prince and the Marquis of Protectorate now have military merits, so it will be difficult for me to rise again. Do you have any good suggestions?”

In the past, Shen Xuan would not have asked Jiang Xiang for his opinion.

But ever since Prime Minister Jiang presented Consort Yue to Emperor Changlong, Prime Minister Jiang's position in Emperor Changlong's heart has become increasingly higher.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. The path to seizing the throne is never smooth; it is bound to be filled with bloodshed and turmoil."

Jiang Xiang beat around the bush, refusing to say it directly.

Shen Xuan wanted a definite answer from Prime Minister Jiang, so he continued to press, "Father-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, if anyone stands in your way, make them disappear."

Jiang Xiang's eyes were fierce, and he looked like a cunning old fox.

"What good ideas do you have for making the seventh brother disappear, Father-in-law?" Shen Xuan seemed unsure of his own ideas and had to ask Prime Minister Jiang for his opinion on everything.

Jiang Xiang wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was quite pleased with Shen Xuan's behavior of asking for his opinion on everything.

"Can Your Highness be so heartless as to show brotherly affection?"

“Of course,” Shen Xuan said. “If I don’t turn things around today, when the seventh brother takes that position one day, he will definitely make sure I die without a burial place.”

Jiang was very satisfied with Shen Xuan's attitude. He nodded and said, "I am very pleased that Your Highness can see things so clearly. However, Your Highness is wrong about one thing."

"Please enlighten me, Father-in-law," Shen Xuan said humbly.

"The most painful way to make a person suffer is not to take their life directly, but to make them lose what they value most."

Prime Minister Jiang asked Shen Xuan, "Your Highness, what do you think is most important to the Crown Prince?"

“Naturally, it should be the position of Crown Prince,” Shen Xuan said.

“Wrong.” Prime Minister Jiang said meaningfully, putting on airs as if instructing Shen Xuan, “In the Crown Prince’s heart, the Marquis of Protectorate is the most important. Rather than letting the Crown Prince disappear, it is better to let the Marquis of Protectorate disappear.”

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "What my father-in-law says is quite true, but the Marquis of Protectorate is highly skilled in martial arts, and none of us are her match. Moreover, she enjoys the deep trust and favor of my father, the emperor. How difficult would it be to make her disappear?"

"Your Highness, everyone in this world, no matter how seemingly invincible, has their weaknesses. To strike a snake, strike its vital spot. As long as you grasp its weakness, you can defeat it effortlessly," Prime Minister Jiang said confidently.

Shen Xuan looked at Prime Minister Jiang and knew that he already had a plan in mind. He lowered his posture even further and asked, "Father-in-law, have you found the Marquis of Protectorate's weakness?"

Prime Minister Jiang did not answer directly, but said, “Your Highness, even if you hadn’t come to me today, I would have come to you. The Marquis of Protectorate can no longer be allowed to live. With her around, none of us will survive.”

"Father-in-law, please tell me what you need me to do, and I will support you." Shen Xuan was a little excited. No matter what the cost, he was willing to do it as long as Song Siyao disappeared.

But what he didn't know was that the future price would be something he couldn't bear.

When the truth comes out, he will regret it deeply.

He doesn't know what the future holds yet, and he's still very arrogant.

He even looked forward to seeing Song Siyao fall from grace.

“Your Highness, we have already made the plan. You only need to take the lead,” said Prime Minister Jiang.

"Yes, I will follow my father-in-law's advice in everything," Shen Xuan said.
