Chapter 77: The Conspiracy Reappears (3)
"By the way, how do you plan to deal with the current situation?"
Shan Zhen suddenly changed the subject.
"What do you think I should do?"
"From what the Emperor said, do you already have the answer in mind?"
Zhou Cheng fell silent after hearing Shan Zhen's answer. He knew it was natural for Shan Zhen to come to this conclusion. The answer was due to the matter and the person . Zhou Cheng might have already had a clear answer to other things, but when facing the matter in front of him, Zhou Cheng was still hesitant, especially after Xin Xin came to ask him for help. It was not accidental that Shan Zhen was able to come to this answer, because he knew Zhou Cheng too well and knew how much he hated him.
"You know I won't give up at a time like this."
"Yes! No matter what answer you come up with, I will follow you till my death."
“…I’m so sorry.”
Even though it was a cruel answer, Shan Zhen vowed to follow. At this moment, Zhou Cheng was also somewhat moved, and the emotion also contained guilt. Shan Zhen had always been loyal to him, but Zhou Cheng, on the contrary, had taken away Shan Zhen's most precious things time and time again, among which Yin Yin's weight was incomparable.
"Send the order, shoot the soldiers here, it's time to put an end to him."
"I will obey your will!"
Shan Zhen thought that if possible, he didn't want to see Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan killing each other. However, when Zhou Cheng made a decision, he could only choose to obey helplessly. He also agreed with Xin Xin's idea. But once he really had to face it, he would eventually choose one side, that is, the monarch he recognized.
As agreed, Yin Yin personally prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain Wang Ye, Xue Han and Gui Sha. There were actually only five people there, because this dinner was also a farewell dinner. The atmosphere during the meal seemed too heavy, and no one said anything, and it ended just like that.
As the heavy reception dinner came to an end, it was late at night. Yinyin left everyone in the huge and empty palace. After returning to her room, Xue Han came to her door...
"I'm sorry for coming to see you so late at night, knowing that you were tired."
"Don't say that. You are more tired."
Yin Yin said as she poured tea for Xue Han and herself.
"Thanks!"
"So, what do you want from me?"
After placing the tea in front of Xue Han, Yin Yin also sat down and began to answer Xue Han's questions patiently.
"This... the princess will leave tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Is this the prince's order?"
"No, I think I will leave sooner or later anyway, so it's better to leave sooner rather than later. If I linger too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave by then."
"Because there is an agreement with the prince?"
There was a question and an answer, but Yin Yin did not answer every question directly with words. Like this one, Yin Yin just nodded.
"By the way, did you come to me just to confirm this matter?"
"No, it's not!"
"What is it?"
Yin Yin felt that if it was just this level of things, Xue Han shouldn't have come to see her. Instead of wasting everyone's time here, it would be better for her to get to the point first.
"this……"
"Please don't worry, just tell me what you have to say."
It's not so easy to say what you want to say, otherwise Xue Han wouldn't be so hesitant.
What needs to be said must be said after some arrangement: "Is the princess going to meet up with the prince when she leaves this time?"
"Um."
"But the prince probably doesn't know that you will go and meet him tomorrow, right?"
"That should be the case, but I guess it doesn't matter when, right? What's wrong?"
"...That means you don't know the current situation yet."
"What's going on?"
As Xue Han's words became more profound, Yin Yin felt a sense of uneasiness gradually rising in her heart.
"If I didn't have to do this, I wouldn't want to tell the princess, but since the princess has decided to leave now, she will know sooner or later, so I'll just tell you straight away."
"Um?"
Yin Yin was affected by Xue Han's aura, and her inner uneasiness gradually grew.
"Right now, at the border of Weicheng, the prince and the emperor are confronting each other. To be more specific, the emperor wanted to come to Weicheng, but the prince stopped him and even used force to demonstrate against the emperor, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides, and there is the possibility of war at any time."
"Start a war? No way!!"
It sounds simple, but 'starting a war' is no small matter, let alone a king of a country and a prince of a country, a pair of brothers are going to start a war. Yin Yin certainly won't believe it.
"Yes. At present, the prince's troops far exceed the emperor's. The ones following the emperor are all elite imperial guards. Once a war breaks out, it will be fierce and casualties are inevitable. However, the most important thing is the emperor and the prince themselves. Their existence is indispensable to the Great Zhou. Moreover, they are brothers. We must not let this happen no matter what."
After listening to Xue Han's words, all kinds of emotions swirled in Yin Yin's mind. She couldn't react immediately, but after thinking for a moment, Yin Yin seemed to understand the meaning of Xue Han's words and why Xue Han told her these.
