Chapter 815: Chapter 813: Let’s Talk About It

"Let’s hear it." Lu Tingli nodded at her.

Xia Ningxing took an exuberantly blooming peach blossom from the vase, toyed with it while curling her lips and said, "Xia Wan has always admired the Crown Prince. To my knowledge, even though she’s now Prince Wu’s Queen, she still holds admiration for the Crown Prince. If these two become entangled, it would certainly be a royal scandal."

Brother and sister-in-law...

Even ordinary families would find this despicable, let alone the noble royal family!

"Are you planning to frame them?" Lu Tingli’s brows slightly raised, grasping the hint in her words.

Xia Wan may be foolish, but the Crown Prince is not a fool. Even if he likes Xia Wan, he would never actually become involved with her again, thus, it’s necessary to forcibly contrive a relationship between them.

Xia Ningxing nodded, then sighed leisurely: "I don’t want to either, but who told them to offend me."

Although the Crown Prince hasn’t offended her, his mother berated her viciously and deliberately summoned Xia Wan to the palace intending to use her to deal with herself.

Humph.

Then don’t blame her for making the son pay for his mother’s debts.

Lu Tingli gestured: "Explain in detail."

Xia Ningxing plucked off the petals, crushed them between her fingers: "Isn’t there a palace banquet in a few days? Prince can arrange for someone to imitate the Crown Prince’s handwriting and write a letter to Xia Wan, inviting her to meet at a certain place. Given Xia Wan’s great suffering in Prince Wu’s Mansion, if the Crown Prince rescues her from distress then, even if she has her doubts, she will definitely go."

"However, seeing how foolish Xia Wan is, I believe she won’t suspect anything but rather rejoice manically, thinking it’s real."

"As for the Crown Prince, it might indeed be a bit difficult to trap him, but I believe the Prince definitely has a way."

"Once this is done, Prince can covertly release the information previously gathered about the Minister of Public Works and the Crown Prince embezzling funds designated for water conservancy projects. Once these scandals break out, the Crown Prince will not only lack virtue but also lose integrity, and the Emperor will surely be furious. By then, both the Minister Mansion and the Crown Prince will be doomed."

As her voice fell, Xia Ningxing crushed the peach blossom in her hand.

As if, these withered crushed petals were their eventual downfall.

"The plan is not bad." Lu Tingli poured himself some tea, took a sip, and with his narrow and sharp eyes, countered: "But have you considered if it were to succeed, the Minister Mansion at the very least will be exiled, and at worst will have their entire family executed and their property confiscated?"

This issue Xia Ningxing had naturally thought through long ago, she answered calmly: "Since ancient times, the troubles of the father’s household do not implicate a married daughter. As for my younger brother, if Prince could submit a memo to the Emperor on my behalf, the Emperor has always valued filial piety. Knowing our hardship as siblings, he surely won’t implicate my younger brother. And if worse comes to worst, doesn’t Prince have a Death Exemption Token?"

This Death Exemption Token was obtained by Lu Tingli at the risk of his life from quelling bandits.

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but hum lightly: "You have indeed thought everything through."

Xia Ningxing smiled and said, "Such life and death matters require more careful consideration, don’t they?"

"So, does Prince wish to implement this plan or not?" she raised her face and asked again.

Lu Tingli seemed to have considered already, and without hesitation, nodded: "Yes."

Even though the probability of success for this plan is low, once successful, it would eliminate the Crown Prince.

Noble Consort Lang will definitely be devastated, then he can avenge his mother.

A glint of bloodlust flashed in Lu Tingli’s narrow eyes.

This woman had his mother killed, and he will ruin her son!

As for the remaining sons, the third and fourth prince, and Wu—who was already incapacitated by the Crown Prince—are not afraid. As for the third and the fourth princes, both are capable but always at odds with each other. With just a bit of scheming, the two will fight to the death.

When both are weakened from their battles, that will be the time for him to benefit as the bystander!

The imperial throne would then be within easy reach!

Lu Tingli’s lips curved, and suddenly he pulled Xia Ningxing into his embrace: "Indeed, this Prince did not choose the wrong person."

It didn’t take long for him to think of a solution.

Xia Ningxing pushed him away: "Prince, you are too modest. I believe that even without me, you would be able to clear the obstacles on your path to the throne one by one."

It would just take some effort, that’s all.

Three days later, the palace feast began.

That night, amidst harmonious songs and dances, on a refreshing night, the dancers, clad in light silk and feather skirts, gracefully extended their beautiful dance poses, with the sound of silk and bamboo music constantly ringing.

The nobles and dignitaries sat in their seats, chatting and laughing heartily.

At the head of the table, the Emperor was dressed in bright yellow.

The seating was separated; men sat in one area and women in another, with Noble Consort Lang sitting at the head of the women’s section.

At this moment, Xia Ningxing was sitting cross-legged in her place, nibbling on snacks one bite at a time.

When she saw Xia Wan excuse herself mid-way and leave her seat, she couldn’t help but slightly curve her lips, enjoying her food even more.

A fish was now hooked.

Just unsure how the second one was faring.

Xia Ningxing bit into the rose pastry in her hand, mmm, it was delicious!

She hoped tonight’s drama would be as delectable as this pastry.

Perhaps she should go have a look.

After finding an excuse to slip out of the banquet, Xia Ningxing quietly followed Xia Wan.

Being skilled in martial arts, as long as she deliberately concealed her aura, a sheltered young lady would never notice her presence.

Xia Wan walked into a bamboo forest.

She looked around nervously and anxiously, as if worried about being followed. After scanning her surroundings, she finally relaxed and let down her guard completely.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead and continued walking forward.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt unusually hot.

Soon, Xia Wan saw a tall figure standing in the bamboo forest.

It was the Crown Prince!

She knew he liked her so much, he couldn’t bear to see her suffer in Prince Wu’s Mansion.

Xia Wan’s eyes gleamed with infatuation and admiration as she lifted her skirt and hastened her pace, her heart thumping rapidly, rushing towards him as fast as she could.

"Crown Prince..."

She called his name softly.

Hearing the footsteps, the Crown Prince thought it was the Emperor and was about to snap his fingers to present the river dance gift for the Emperor when he turned around and saw Xia Wan instead.

"Why are you here?" The Crown Prince immediately frowned, suddenly feeling a bad premonition, and took a few steps back while questioning her.

"Wasn’t it you who asked me to come?" Xia Wan, oblivious to his discomfort, softly replied and had already started clinging onto him.

For some reason, at that moment, she desperately wanted to be close to him.

"Damn it!" The Crown Prince, now fully aware that he had been set up, immediately tried to push Xia Wan away. However, for some reason, he couldn’t muster any strength.
