Chapter 266 Buying Land to Reclaim and Deceiving Little Flower (3)_1
"Since the military camps on the border have also been mixed with tainted grain, why not start there? It is likely to quickly catch The Emperor’s attention. However, The Prince’s Mansion had better not intervene in this affair; rather, those princes who have disputes with King Heng would be the most suitable."
King Heng was the third son of the current Emperor, born of a noble consort with a high status, and deeply favored by the Emperor. His coveting for the position of the Crown Prince was no less than that of the fallen King Jing. Due to his various advantages, among the other princes eyeing the position of the Crown Prince, his threat was even greater than that of the actual Crown Prince Chu Heng.
If they could take advantage of the tainted grain issue to collectively bring down King Heng, it would save the Crown Prince a lot of trouble.
Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng exchanged glances, seeing the agreement in each other’s eyes.
When Xiao Ruiyuan returned to his own home, he immediately took up his pen and detailed the situation with the tainted grain on paper. At the end of the letter, he added a short sentence to not worry Mo Yan. After finishing, he sent someone to deliver it to her.
Mo Yan had always been preoccupied with the matter of the tainted grain and was very happy to receive the letter from Xiao Ruiyuan.
After reading the letter and knowing that the situation was more complex than she had imagined, Mo Yan felt helpless. Fortunately, despite some slow progress, it was still better than doing nothing at all. Moreover, if Xiao Ruiyuan could not solve it, she was even less likely to, and she silently prayed that the problem could be resolved soon and not let more innocent people die tragically.
Since she no longer had nightmares, Mo Yan’s mental state had returned to its best. Recently, she had been wandering around the outskirts of the village every day, looking for a suitable place to clear for rice planting.
