Chapter 605: A Poisonous Plan, Killing Two Birds with One Arrow
"That's right." Qin Yumo nodded in agreement. "Mother, if Ji Chuhe turns against us and joins the Queen Mother, we won't be able to do anything about it."
The queen was feeling a little anxious.
Others may not know what the emperor feels for Ji Chuhe, but she knows it clearly.
It would be more advantageous for her if Ji Chuhe was on her side.
"Mother, I have a plan that will prevent Ji Chuhe from ever forming an alliance with the Queen Mother and the Fourth Prince."
"What's the plan?"
"If the Fourth Prince does something inappropriate to Ji Chuhe and everyone knows about it, not only will Ji Chuhe's reputation be ruined, but the Fourth Prince and Ji Chuhe will also become enemies. Isn't Ji Chuhe the best at scheming? Back then, she schemed against me and the Third Prince in order to break off the engagement for Rong Qingqing. This time, let her have a taste of being schemed against."
"This plan is feasible." The queen immediately nodded in agreement.
The Emperor has always wanted to get someone, but he was first defiled by the Fourth Prince. Will the Emperor tolerate the Fourth Prince?
In order to make this matter foolproof, she had to plan it carefully.
Qin Yumo felt happy that the queen agreed so readily.
Ji Chuhe, aren't you aloof? Aren't you conceited? This time, I'll let you experience the feeling of losing face and having your reputation ruined!
"Mother, the Third Prince still needs my care. I will take my leave now."
"Well, go ahead." The queen nodded.
After Qin Yumo left, the queen immediately called her personal maid and whispered a few words to her.
The maid nodded, turned and walked out.
Chao Sihai was on duty outside the imperial study when suddenly, a young eunuch came over and whispered something to him.
He glanced in the direction of the imperial study and walked away.
When he arrived at a remote pavilion, the queen was already waiting for him.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Chao Sihai immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be so polite, eunuch. Please take a seat."
"Your Majesty, is there something urgent that you asked me to come here today?"
"We shouldn't have met like this in the palace, but this matter requires the help of the eunuch, so there is no other way."
The last time the Queen and Chao Sihai met was because of Concubine Cao.
Chao Sihai couldn't help but wonder, what could be as important as killing Concubine Cao?
"The Queen Mother summoned Ji Chuhe into the palace and wanted to win her over. I don't want Ji Chuhe to surrender to the Queen Mother, so I must destroy their relationship and make it impossible for them to form an alliance forever."
"What does the Queen intend to do?" Chao Sihai asked.
"Let the Fourth Prince ruin Ji Chuhe's reputation."
There was a flash of shock in Chao Sihai's eyes.
What a vicious plot.
In this case, not only will Ji Chuhe be ruined, even the Fourth Prince might not survive!
The Queen clearly knows how the Emperor feels about the Crown Prince's wife.
Now, anyone who dares to touch Ji Chuhe will die, not even Xiao Yanan.
If the Emperor didn't know that the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had not consummated their marriage, and that there had always been nothing innocent between the two of them, he would have gotten rid of the Crown Prince at all costs!
"Empress, this matter is really too risky. Do you want to think twice?" Chao Sihai asked tentatively.
If the Queen wanted to harm someone else, Chao Sihai would definitely agree silently.
But this time it was Ji Chuhe.
He has to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.
Ji Chuhe definitely didn't know that he was secretly communicating with the Queen. Even if he helped the Queen set up the trap, Ji Chuhe would not find out that it was him who did it.
Moreover, this matter will not affect his son Chunsheng.
However, Chao Sihai still hesitated.
"Eunuch Chao, I have my own arrangements for Ji Chuhe. You just need to make arrangements for the Fourth Prince."
"I understand." He responded to Chao Sihai and stepped back.
……
The breeze brings warmth, and in the blink of an eye it is already March, and spring is back.
The flowers in the garden began to bloom.
Ji Chuhe stood under a pear tree and reached out to catch a pear blossom that was falling in the wind.
Xiao Yan'an stood in the distance, watching this scene.
She was like a goddess from heaven who had fallen into the mortal world. He didn't even dare to go forward to her, for fear that if he disturbed her, she would transform into feathered clothes and fly into the heavens.
Ji Chuhe was lost in thought.
She was thinking, the Queen Mother has already taken action, how will the Queen respond?
Even if the queen didn't care about her betrayal, she would never give up the money she promised.
This was the bait she had laid out.
A bait no one can refuse.
Xiao Yan'an saw that she was frowning, as if she was thinking about something, and couldn't help but walk forward.
There were footsteps behind him. Ji Chuhe turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yanan. He smiled faintly at him.
Xiao Yan'an suddenly felt that the entire spring breeze blew into his heart.
"Prince, weren't you in the palace? Why are you back?" Ji Chuhe had clearly told him that she would rather spend her time drinking and partying outside than return to the Prince's mansion.
"I... came back to get something." Xiao Yan'an found a lame excuse.
"Take your things and go to the palace to accompany father and mother."
"Ma'am, did something happen to you just now? I saw that you were frowning the whole time."
"I was thinking, the Queen Mother has already taken action, how can the Queen fight back? Prince, you came at the right time, I suddenly thought of something."
"Ma'am, please speak."
"Tell my father and mother the truth about the Queen Mother summoning me. I didn't know how long it would take for the plan to come to fruition, but the Queen Mother was so anxious. If the current situation continues, my plan may go much more smoothly. Let my father and mother be mentally prepared. We must also make secret arrangements in Huaiyang."
"I understand." Xiao Yan'an nodded.
Another breeze blew, and pear blossoms fell like rain.
There were many pear blossoms in Ji Chuhe's hair and on her shoulders. Xiao Yan'an couldn't help but raise his hand and pick the pear blossoms from her hair one by one.
"Prince, it's getting late, you should leave first." Ji Chuhe urged.
If Xiao Yan'an stays in the Prince's Mansion for too long, people will become suspicious.
Their relationship now should be as tense as fire and water.
Xiao Yan'an was reluctant, but had to listen to Ji Chuhe's words and left.
When he walked out of the Prince's Mansion, he spread out his palms, and the pear blossoms were still in his palms.
He put the flowers into his purse.
It’s like it captures the warmth of that moment.
Just when Ji Chuhe was still unsure how the Queen would fight back, Chao Sihai actually asked her out for a meeting.
Moreover, the meeting place is very hidden.
Ji Chuhe brought Chunsheng to the appointment.
Chao Sihai was wearing casual clothes and standing beside a flower bed in a small courtyard with two entrances.
As soon as he heard the footsteps, he turned around immediately.
"Is this Eunuch Chao's residence?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Yes, I bought this secretly." Chao Sihai admitted openly.
"I wonder why the eunuch Chao asked me to come here today?"
