Chapter 144 Hidden Weapons
Qin Zhangyuan was startled, "Now that the eldest girl has a special status, if we really take action in Beiliang, Mr. Lu and I may not be able to protect ourselves wisely."

Lu Zhijie stood up, patted Qin Zhangyuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "These things have already been planned by the eldest prince, so I won't bother Mr. Qin to worry about it." He said, paused, and suddenly looked out the door. One glance, "Right, Chengchang?"

Cheng Chang came in after hearing the sound, his expressionless face looked extremely scary under the candlelight. He looked at Qin Zhangyuan quietly for a moment, and then in a hoarse voice that was almost blurry, he said word by word, "This time I'm coming to the West." Before the cold, the eldest prince had put a sharp blade that could kill the eldest daughter of the Su family into my hands. Therefore, Mr. Qin only needs to remember what he should say and what he should not say. The rest I have my own thoughts."

The moment Qin Zhangyuan saw Chengchang, he seemed to have thought of something. A cold feeling spread all over his body. After swallowing hard, he nodded gently.

When Su Chengying returned to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage, she saw that the lights were still burning in the direction of the main courtyard, so she asked Su Zhenzhen to go back to Jiaziyuan first, while she went to the main courtyard in person.

After all, the old lady came from the palace. Although the palace was different from the past, it was not difficult for her to find out the news, so she heard everything that happened in the palace long before Su Chengying came back.

Now that she saw Su Chengying come in, the old lady felt that Su Chengying was becoming more dignified and dignified. With a smile on her face, she pulled Su Chengying to sit beside her for a while, and then let her go back to rest early.

Su Chengying returned to Jiaziyuan with a little fatigue. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Dongfang Yuebai half lying and half leaning on the Arhat couch, playing chess by himself. Seeing Su Chengying come in, he just raised his eyes and then immersed himself in it again. into the chess game.

After Su Chengying untied her cloak and handed it to Musk, she walked over and asked, "Yan Ning'er, why are you by the side of the second prince?"

Dongfang Yuebai didn't even raise his eyelids, "It won't be too late to talk after I finish playing chess."

Su Chengying lowered her eyes and glanced at the wolf-like chess surface of the black and white twins. In just a moment, she picked up a white stone and gently placed it in anticipation. The black and white twins, who were originally at odds, had a result in an instant.

The white stone wins and the black stone loses.

Dongfang Yuebai sighed, "I originally hoped that Heizi would win."

Su Chengying was about to take back her hand at her side and took out another black stone from the chess box. After removing the white stone just now, she dropped the black stone on the chessboard.

In an instant, the outcome was reversed.

Dongfang Yuebai, "..."

"Who taught Madam to play chess like this? Does Madam not know that the joy of playing chess is to play step by step and watch your opponent get trapped and unable to struggle?"

"I only know that if you can cut the knot with a quick knife, it will be better than sleeping with dreams."

Dongfang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Madam is so murderous, I'm afraid she'll throw herself into disarray." He sat up slowly, his lazy black hair falling behind him, exuding a bright black luster under the candlelight. , slowly raised his head to look at Su Chengying, whose delicate facial features were beyond ordinary, "The second prince inherited the emperor's suspicion and suspicion. Even the second prince who married into the family was the niece of Concubine Ren. Over the years, the second prince has It is true that the prince does not take any concubines, but there are often reports of concubines getting lucky."

Su Chengying frowned, "So you want to use the fourth prince's help to send a beauty to the second prince?"

"Yan Ning'er has been trained in various ways since she was a child. She knows how to serve men best, but if she is forced to be sent to the second prince, sooner or later the second prince will become suspicious. The fourth prince is different. He has no hope of competing for the position. To put it bluntly, he is the second prince. An accessory around me is not so suspicious." He said, picked up the teapot and poured tea, and then pushed the steaming teacup in front of Su Chengying.Su Chengying sat on the other side of the short table and asked again, "So you expected early on that the second prince would take care of the fourth prince's important people? Or that the fourth prince would take the initiative to give Yan Ning'er to the second prince? ?”

Dongfang Yuebai picked up the tea cup in front of him and blew on it, "As long as the second prince is allowed to see Yan Ning'er, the skills Yan Ning'er has learned will have a way to seduce the second prince, and there has long been a relationship between the fourth prince and the second prince. If there is a rift, the Fourth Prince will not miss the opportunity to present his beauty to please the Fourth Prince."

Sure enough, everything was in his calculations.

Dongfang Yuebai took a sip of tea and said, "I heard earlier that the second prince secretly brought Yan Ning'er into the palace, so I guessed that Concubine Liu Ren would hold a banquet for you after the emperor, but I didn't expect that. People in the prosperous Tang Dynasty will press on you step by step and test you repeatedly."

No wonder this man could sit at home and play chess peacefully, and be able to know the affairs of the palace without leaving home. Such an ability was beyond the reach of even the fifth prince.

Dongfang Yuebai seemed a little tired from talking. He put down the tea cup and raised his hand to support his cheek before continuing, "I have already inquired about Lu Zhijie. He is just a counselor next to the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not something to be afraid of, but His words and deeds represent the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty. He dares to speak rudely to you today, whether it is true or false, it is enough to show that the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty has become suspicious of you..."

He paused and suddenly moved his cheek closer to Su Chengying, "And the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty should have given something to Lu Zhijie, which can restrain you at the critical moment or kill you, so I have sent Tianyi in advance. I went to inquire about it, there should be news soon."

Su Chengying had not thought about what Dongfang Yuebai said on the way back, but she never expected that Dongfang Yuebai would move so fast.

While the emperor was hosting a banquet, he went to inquire about the Tang Dynasty envoy...

This man is really so scheming that it makes one's heart go cold.

The two people in the room were talking when they saw Zhixu walking in with a cold air, "Master, Your Highness the Princess."

Dongfang Yuebai asked lightly, "Have you found anything useful?"

Zhixu said truthfully, "Not everyone in the Royal Courtyard went to the banquet. My subordinates found out that someone seemed to be locked up in a courtyard deep inside the Courtyard. It's just that the guard was excellent in martial arts. His internal strength is so strong that his subordinates dare not approach him without authorization, for fear of disturbing the situation."

Someone is being held in the Royal Villa?
Dongfang Yuebai said with a half-smile, "To be secretly imprisoned by the Shengtang envoy...it seems that this person is the weapon that the eldest prince of the Shengtang intends to use against his wife."

Su Chengying couldn't think of anything that could threaten her right now, but she wasn't afraid. "Qin Zhangyuan will take the initiative to visit him in a few days. You just need to ask him."

Of course Dongfang Yuebai knew that Su Chengying would not dig things out of Qin Zhangyuan's mouth by sitting down and having a heart-to-heart talk, "So, Madam, you already have a charter?"

Su Chengying nodded. It has always been easy for her to get words out of other people's mouths.
