Chapter 287: Unable to Move
"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. We will certainly remember the kindness of His Royal Highness Prince Rui!"
Watching the backs of the people leaving, Xiao Jinrui glanced at Concubine Yuan, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Mother, why are you here when you're not serving Father?"
Hearing the unhappiness in Xiao Jinrui's voice, Concubine Yuan was not angry. Instead, she came to Xiao Jinrui, looked at him and said earnestly:
"If mother hadn't come, how would she have known that you almost ruined the situation? Xiao Jingchuan can't move right now!"
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Xiao Jinrui's eyes were full of resentment. He immediately looked at Concubine Yuan and said dissatisfiedly:
"When did mother learn to look down upon others' ambitions and destroy her own prestige? Why can't Xiao Jingchuan be touched?"
Concubine Yuan naturally knew that Xiao Jinrui had long wanted to kill Xiao Jingchuan, but he had not found the opportunity. After all, Xiao Jingchuan's ability was obvious to all of them. Even after Xiao Jinrui ascended the throne, they would not let Xiao Jingchuan live in this world and become a threat to Xiao Jinrui. If she had not accidentally learned the news, she would have agreed to Xiao Jinrui taking Xiao Jingchuan's life.
However, she had received accurate information from the imperial physician that Rui'er's body was indeed injured. Although she had silenced the imperial physician, she did not know who was behind the scenes. Now the enemy was in the dark and she was in the light. There was no guarantee that someone else would know about this matter. Now was not a good time to take action.
Zong Wenzhi had written to her that he wanted to completely cure Rui'er, and now he only needed Xiao Jingchuan to help him. Although she didn't know why Zong Wenzhi said that, if she could cure Rui'er, she would naturally do it at all costs. Now she could only wait for Zong Wenzhi to come before making any plans.
Therefore, before Xiao Jinrui recovered, she naturally had to save Xiao Jingchuan's life. After all, only he could make Ruier return to normal.
Rui'er doesn't know about this yet, so he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, but she won't watch him do something that will make him regret for the rest of his life.
Seeing Xiao Jinrui's aggressive look, Concubine Yuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She looked at him and said, "Mr. Zong said that it would be very useful to keep Xiao Jingchuan alive right now, so he asked you to save Xiao Jingchuan's life!"
Listening to Concubine Yuan's words, Xiao Jinrui's eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Concubine Yuan and asked, "My master? He has been in Nanmo Country for so long. There is no guarantee that he won't encounter any accidents. Can you trust his words?"
Concubine Yuan naturally knew that Xiao Jinrui would not believe it so easily, so she took out Zong Wenzhi's letter and handed it to Xiao Jinrui. She looked at him and said, "
"Of course you can trust him. You have to believe in Mr. Zong's ability. He was able to survive such a difficult situation before, let alone his current situation. Mr. Zong said that Nangong Mo intends to marry his only eldest princess to Dongli Kingdom. If you can win the favor of the princess of Nanmo Kingdom and establish good relations with Nanmo Kingdom and Beilin Kingdom in the future, even if your father wakes up, he will treat you differently."
Although they had prepared to drug Emperor Shunqing, he unexpectedly fell into a coma before they could do anything. They had suspected that Emperor Shunqing was acting out the incident himself, but no matter how they tried, they did not see any abnormality in Emperor Shunqing. They had no choice but to believe that Emperor Shunqing was really in a coma.
In this way, they naturally don't have to go to the trouble of drugging him, otherwise they will inevitably be caught in the act in the future. After all, murdering the emperor is not a trivial matter. Such a coincidence really makes people sigh that God is helping them!
Seeing Xiao Jinrui wavering, Yuan Quanlin continued to persuade him, "Your Highness is right! Your Highness, the capital is now completely out of the Prince's control. Even if Xiao Jingchuan returns to the capital, what is there to fear? There is no need to confront His Highness Prince Jing head-on! Wouldn't it be wonderful to catch him in a trap when the time comes? It would be so satisfying!"
Listening to Yuan Quanlin and Concubine Yuan's words, Xiao Jinrui thought over and over again, and made up his mind. However, he was still unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. Although he was sure that he could kill Xiao Jingchuan, he was still a little irritated when he thought that he had already decided to marry Jiang Shuyu.
After spending some time with Jiang Wanrong, he realized that there was still a place for Jiang Shuyu in his heart.
However, Jiang Shuyu has been married to Xiao Jingchuan. If he forces her to marry him, he will be despised by the world. If he wants to win the beauty, Xiao Jingchuan must die without a doubt. Only in this way can he take Jiang Shuyu into the palace with good reason. Now that he has to save Xiao Jingchuan's life, it seems that his plan has to change accordingly.
Fortunately, since Xiao Jingchuan went to Nanmo Country, otherwise Jiang Shuyu would have become the legitimate Princess Jing, which would have been difficult to deal with. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinrui's mood suddenly became a little happy.
Concubine Yuan was very confused when she saw Xiao Jinrui's expression change so quickly. She glanced at Yuan Quanlin and then looked at Xiao Jinrui and said, "A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Rui'er, before you find the imperial edict from Emperor Shunqing, you must not act on impulse!"
Xiao Jinrui's mood had just improved a little, but when he heard Concubine Yuan's earnest words, he suddenly felt a little irritated. He looked at her and said, "Since mother and uncle have already made up their minds, then I will listen to you. However, I hope that uncle can be absolutely sure of taking Xiao Jingchuan down. Otherwise, you should know Xiao Jingchuan's ability. If you want to regret it by then, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Yuan Quanlin felt guilty when he heard the warning in Xiao Jinrui's voice. He quickly looked up at Concubine Yuan and saw her determined look. He immediately looked at Xiao Jinrui and said, "Yes, Prince Rui, don't worry!"
Concubine Yuan naturally saw that their behavior this time had displeased Xiao Jinrui, but Jinrui's current situation did not allow her to be careless! Thinking of what the imperial physician said, Concubine Yuan looked at Xiao Jinrui and asked worriedly:
"Did Rui'er feel better recently?" Seeing the doubt in Xiao Jinrui's eyes, Concubine Yuan quickly changed the subject and said, "Didn't Mother see that you've been busy with official duties recently and was worried that your body couldn't handle it? That's why I asked Imperial Physician Wang to prescribe some nourishing soup for you. After taking it, do you feel any difference in your body? Do you still feel powerless? Mother doesn't mean to pry into your privacy. Mother is doing this for your own good!"
