Chapter 698: Recalling the First Time I Met This Extraordinary Woman
The few remaining men in black were filled with panic and fear when they thought of this.
Facing the calm and composed Miss Leng and Prince Yu in front of them, they knew clearly that a beauty like Miss Leng was not something their master could get just by wanting to.
Let’s not talk about the future, let’s just look at the present. The master hit a wall the first time he made a move.
This is enough to show that they have long been aware of their master's secret intentions and have been prepared for it.
Be it his master's ambition or his desire for Miss Leng, there is no secret at all.
If you don't keep things secret, how can you expect to achieve great things in the future? It's a joke!
Next, let alone the dragon throne that his master has been thinking about day and night, even if he wants to take advantage of Miss Leng or snatch her from His Royal Highness Prince Yu, it would be a daydream.
Think about it, these people, they risked their lives for such a master, and even lost their lives... How unfair!
They, the subordinates, feel wronged.
But their master feels good at this time!
The Flower Hall in Prince Yi's Mansion.
A large round table was filled with delicacies and fine wines.
The one sitting on the upper throne was none other than King Yi, Xiao Jingyi.
On his left and right, closely following him and feeding him food and wine, were two concubines wearing heavy makeup and looking alluring and charming.
Further down, sat two of Xiao Jingyi's aides - Jiang Fang, who was thin, had a pale face and a slight beard and looked like a scholar, and Tong Lian, who was slightly fat, had short eyebrows and narrow eyes, and looked like a wealthy businessman.
I heard the sound of a drum announcing the time in the distance, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Jingyi drank a mouthful of wine fed by his concubine, avoided the meat fed to his mouth by another concubine, closed his eyes, and waved his hand lazily.
When the two concubines saw this, they immediately stood up, bowed, and left the hall with their heads lowered.
Xiao Jingyi raised his tipsy eyes and looked towards the night sky...
“Your Majesty, Deng Si and the others should have taken action by now!
There is no possibility of failure when we fight the unprepared with the prepared. Your Majesty can rest assured.
It is already three o'clock in the morning, Your Majesty may as well go to bed first. Deng Si and the others will return to report after they finish their work."
Jiang Fang, who was sitting at the table on the left, spoke.
“Yes, my Lord, it’s getting late, you should go and get some rest first.
Even if Deng Si and his men returned home to report, it would be after dawn!
They have to wait until the city gate opens before they can enter the city!
Your Majesty, there is no need to waste more time here, or you will be exhausted tomorrow!"
Tong Lian, who was sitting on the other side, also advised.
Xiao Jingyi took the tea handed to him by the servant and took two sips. He took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows, as if the smell of alcohol had dissipated a lot.
The servant took the teacup, and Xiao Jingyi waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, tomorrow is a day off, so you don't have to go to the morning court, so it doesn't matter whether you sleep or not tonight!
I just feel a little uneasy in my heart.
After all, this is the first step in taking action to achieve our future goals!
The first move is to destroy the Anguo Mansion which has been established for hundreds of years!
In the Anguo Mansion, there is a duke, two important ministers, two rising stars in the court and three ladies with royal titles.
Plus... we will lose a future Princess Consort of Prince Yu...
I think... once this matter is exposed, the shock it brings to the capital city... will not be small!
After that... Because the Anguo Mansion was destroyed and the future Princess Consort of Prince Yu was missing, both the court and the capital would be in a state of panic. For a period of time, everyone's attention would be focused on this matter.
After tomorrow, in addition to hiding Miss Leng, our people must also temporarily stop their activities and stay away from the court's sight, so as not to arouse any suspicion from Prince Yi's Mansion."
"What the prince said is absolutely true!"
Jiang Fang, who looked like a scholar, nodded in agreement.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Fang looked at Xiao Jingyi again and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking after the fact...
Actually... Actually, I still think that His Majesty really doesn't need to destroy the Duke of Anguo's Mansion this time and make such a big fuss!
If our first move was to only kidnap a future Princess Consort of Prince Yu and a granddaughter of Duke Anguo, then it would be nothing more than losing a young girl in the boudoir, and that would be it.
It’s hard to say, people will guess that it was done by some flower thief.
Once a young woman disappears, her clean reputation is gone.
Be it the imperial court, His Royal Highness Prince Yu, or the Duke Anguo's Mansion, they were not determined enough to look for her.
As time goes by, people stop looking for it and it is forgotten.
The Emperor will then find another noble lady for His Royal Highness Prince Yu to marry.
By then, Your Majesty, you can intervene secretly and push our own people over.
But tonight, the whole family of the Duke of Anguo suddenly died in Yunxiang Mountain, and it was not just the loss of a woman. This incident is too much..."
"Mr. Jiang!"
Xiao Jingyi raised his hand slightly and stopped Jiang Fang, “Mr. Jiang should know that I did not intend to destroy the Anguo Mansion so quickly at the beginning;
He didn't even think of robbing Leng Rongyue.
After all, I have valued the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and wanted to win it over.
As for Leng Rongyue, she had seen him once or twice when she was a child.
Many years have passed, and I no longer have any impression of her.
But when I first saw her in Shuntian Prefecture that day, I felt that this girl was extraordinary."
