Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1073 - 1071: The Heartless Wang Family of Emperors
After sending Mei Er away, Jadeite returned and saw Wufu daydreaming at the table, so she brought a cup of tea over.
"Miss, are you thinking about the Crown Prince of Nanyue?"
"Indeed, this Crown Prince is really..." Wufu sighed. If the Crown Prince of Nanyue died, I’m afraid Nanyue would fall into chaos.
Jadeite said, "Miss, do you think it was the Tenth Prince who did it?"
"What do you think?" Wufu countered.
Jadeite shook her head and honestly said, "I don’t know, but it must be those people. After all, only if the Crown Prince of Nanyue died would they have a chance."
Wufu sneered, "Yes, it’s only those people. The Crown Prince is still alive and well, but they can’t wait. Such is the brotherly love of the Imperial Family."
The most heartless of all is the Emperor’s family. In front of that supreme throne, all emotions are false and hypocritical.
"However, it might not be Zhao Mingjun who did it." Wufu said in a calm voice.
"Oh?" Jadeite was puzzled. "He is considered a Legitimate Son. If the Crown Prince were to... he would have the greatest chance, right?"
"That’s exactly why he doesn’t need to rush. Besides, recently, Zhao Mingjun was reprimanded to self-reflect at home after the Crown Prince revealed he was raising private soldiers beyond regulation. How long has it been since then? Would he take revenge on the Crown Prince now? If something happened to the Crown Prince, he would be the prime suspect. Zhao Mingjun is not stupid!" Wufu snorted lightly.
"Are you saying that the mastermind deliberately chose this timing to frame Zhao Mingjun?" Jadeite said, "But it’s also possible that Zhao Mingjun orchestrated this himself, isn’t it?"
"It’s possible. Zhao Mingjun was grounded for the private soldiers incident. If the Emperor of Nanyue discovers his reprisal against the Crown Prince because of this incident, even if he’s the Favored Empress’s son, how could the Emperor of Nanyue not have thoughts about it?" Wufu’s black eyes narrowed slightly. "As for your suggestion that he might have orchestrated it himself, that’s not impossible either. Arrange it well so that the Emperor of Nanyue finds out he was wronged, and perhaps his grounding would be lifted, and past wrongs forgiven."
Jadeite listened and stuck out her tongue. "Miss, your analysis is impressive."
"Just sorting through people’s psychology. However, if Zhao Mingjun were to concoct such a scheme, he’d know that self-orchestration is not advisable."
"What do you mean by that?"
Wufu took a sip of tea and said, "The matter of private soldiers was let go lightly, indicating the Emperor of Nanyue’s anger is not severe. So, sooner or later, the grounding order will be lifted. But at this point, whether Zhao Mingjun is guilty or not, it plants a seed of doubt in the Emperor of Nanyue’s mind. Since it will be lifted eventually, why act? Action is worse than inaction."
Jadeite nodded silently, indeed it was so.
"One more thing, the Emperor of Nanyue is single-mindedly pursuing the Way. Do you think he’d enjoy chaos? Would he want to witness chaos?" Wufu sneered, "If the Crown Prince of Nanyue can’t get through this hurdle, then afterward, it will be a fight of life and death, a bloodbath. Do you think such a single-minded Emperor of Nanyue would want to see this chaos?"
"This Emperor of Nanyue is really peculiar. The Nanyue Court is already rotten, and the plight of the common people is everywhere. Instead of addressing this, he seeks some enlightenment. Selfish," Jadeite scornfully said.
Wufu lowered her eyes. "He only cares about whether he can achieve Eternal Life; why would he care about the life or death of the common people? Achieve Eternal Life, and he becomes the master of this world." Unfortunately, this is the dream of a fool.
Jadeite sighed, "If Nanyue is in turmoil, we might have an opportunity, but the common people will suffer. Alas..."
Wufu also sighed, "Yes, but some things must be destroyed before they can be renewed." Just hoping for the world to embrace an enlightened ruler.
