Chapter 471 - 468: Good Calculation_1
At its root, it was the Second Prince’s palace coup and rebellion that left a deep shadow in the emperor’s mind. Any son touching military power made the emperor extremely jittery.
Today, Bai Qingyan suddenly learned that King Liang planned to deceive Dong Tingzhen into marrying him. She deliberately had Bai Jinzhi hint to the Crown Prince that King Liang might be secretly allying with King Xian of Nandu. The Crown Prince might want to create an impression for the emperor that King Liang was trying to marry Dong Tingzhen while entangling himself with Liu Ruofu, who was already betrothed to the Fourth Prince of Daliang.
Given the emperor’s suspicious and cautious nature regarding his sons having military power, he would undoubtedly think that King Liang wanted to use the marriage to gain the support of King Xian and Dong Qingyue, who held significant military power.
Then, King Liang’s good days would be over.
At this time, as Daliang was negotiating peace with the Jin Kingdom, even if the emperor did not wish for Liu Ruofu to marry into enemy territory, he could not let such a scandal give Daliang an excuse to bargain with Jin.
Make King Liang suffer and not benefit from it.
What a brilliant scheme!
Originally, Bai Qingyan intended to use King Liang’s violation of ancestral rules through alchemy against him. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince’s residence could not hold back anymore and acted, making waves.
Bai Qingyan looked back at the two Hidden Guards kneeling in the courtyard reporting news and instructed, "Go back and tell the others to continue monitoring the six people sent out by the Crown Prince’s residence. Report every quarter-hour, and report immediately if there are any special circumstances."
"Yes!"
