Chapter 836 - 833: Arrangement
Then there was the former head of the Imperial Guards, Xie Yuchang, who was implicated in the Wude Gate incident. Because of his inability to control his subordinates, he was stripped of his position by the Emperor and is now idling away at home.
Yet, Xie Yuchang had managed the Imperial Guards for many years, and even though he was dismissed, he still held considerable influence within the guard.
Perhaps, Xie Yuchang could help the Crown Prince survive.
Among the people Fan Yuhuai coerced, were those initially placed by my eldest sister, but these individuals cannot be revealed to the Crown Prince. Otherwise, when Dadu City is pacified someday, the Crown Prince will undoubtedly suspect the Bai family and my eldest sister.
At this moment, Bai Jinxiu was plunged into a deeper problem. She was uncertain whether her eldest sister intended to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne, or... she wanted to revolutionize the world order.
Although her eldest sister never explicitly stated, Bai Jinxiu vaguely sensed her eldest sister’s ambition to change the world order. Her resolve to unify the realm was stronger than any ancestor of the Bai family. However, the Crown Prince was not a ruler with great ambition.
If the ruler’s ambition was merely to defend the territory, then as a minister... one could not have overly grand ambitions. Too far-reaching ambitions would provoke the ruler’s suspicion. Bai Jinxiu believed her eldest sister understood this very well.
Therefore, Bai Jinxiu guessed... her eldest sister intended to replace the Lin family’s imperial power.
