The next day, Lin Chujiu didn't wait for Xiao Tianyao's reply but waited for the news about the crown prince, Ji Fengyu, Lin Wanting, and Nannuo Yao until she received that they had disappeared in the hunting ground.
"Who did this?" Lin Chujiu almost jump in surprise.
Who is so bold to offend the east, the south, and the west country altogether?
"I don't know, but it's not the northern people." When Su Cha received the news, he hurriedly informed Lin Chujiu, hoping that she could make preparations in advance, so that they won't be planted to take the blame.
"The information I gathered last night is also saying that it has nothing to do with the Southern and Western Country. It seems like the work of mysterious forces hiding in the capital. I suspect that they were also the ones who spread the rumors about you in the capital, but of course, I may also get it wrong." Su Cha was managing the Xiao Wangfu's news network. Their news network was no doubt reliable, but still, he didn't find anything.
"The mysterious forces hiding in the capital?" Lin Chujiu pondered for a moment and asked: "Are you saying that it could be the people behind Ci Entang?"
So far, they haven't found out any news related to the people behind the Ci Entang.
"It's not impossible." Su Cha was not surprised, obviously, he also thought the same, but… …
"What is their purpose for doing this?" This was something Su Cha also couldn't understand.
If there will be no profit, why would someone do this?
"Well, if the crown prince died, there will be chaos in the palace court." They don't know the people behind this event, so they can't tell the purpose of the other party.
Lin Chujiu added another sentence: "Keep an eye on this matter, if there is news about the crown prince, report it to me immediately." The four missing people showed the power of the forces behind it, which made Lin Chujiu very concern.
Su Cha nodded his head, and because he fears her to get worried, he added: "Wangfei, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Wangfu, you don't have to worry."
"Who said it has nothing to do with us?" Lin Chujiu replied without looking back at Su Cha: "If those four people died and they can't find the real culprit, based on the principle of whoever will benefit the most in this case, the people behind the scene, who do you think most likely be?"
"Is it Wangye?" Su Cha thought for a while, but then he thought it was impossible: "Wangye doesn't need to do such a thing."
Lin Chujiu chuckled and said: "That is what you think, other people may not think the same. On the way to the front line, the Southern and Western Countries sent a lot of assassins to kill Wangye. Wangye was so angry that he decided to kill their prince and princess, this will be the normal case. In addition to that, if one successfully provokes the relationship between the east, south and west country, who will benefit the most?"
Su Cha thought for a moment and realized: "It's Wangye. The Emperor is busy dealing with the difficulties of the south and west. He has no energy to fight with Wangye. Wangye can take this opportunity to take over his military power. If the south and west threatened the emperor, he will get benefits from it."
"Right, it's wangye who will get the benefits the most. If the crown prince died, the east will need to choose a new crown prince. Once the other princes compete for the throne, they will start to fish people." They will start to fish Xiao Tianyao. As long as one gets Xiao Tianyao's support, his chance to seat for the crown prince position will be half stable.
"However, while we, in the east, will have civil strife, the north, the south, and the west will also get benefits." The civil strife will shake the national strength, the other three countries can attack them.
Su Cha's thought was not unreasonable, but… …
"Susu, I only said that it might happen if those four died. If they die, the east will have civil strife, but now they were only missing. It means, there is a 50% chance that we will not be seeing their dead bodies. " The palace ministers could see that the emperor didn't like the crown prince much, but they also knew that the emperor will not abandon him.
The emperor will not abandon the crown prince even after 10 years. The emperor will protect the crown prince and let him live a long life. And this why Lin Xiang dare to bet on the crown prince.
The emperor was still quite young, he will not let a savvy and capable prince take the position of the crown prince, nor will he let his son fight for the seat of the crown prince. The less capable the crown prince, the more stable his reign will be.
The crown prince was like a shield erected by the emperor. As long as he will not suddenly get sick, he can still live a few years of a good life. The crown prince was like a shield for the palace ministers to stop thinking about an unnecessary problem.
As soon as Su Cha heard those words, he frowned his eyebrows: "You mean to say, that they will be fine? And the emperor was just trying to trick the south and west to think that Wangye was going against them?"
"Who knows, it might also be to frame Third Prince Xiao Zian. As you know, in the eyes of other people, if the crown prince died, the one who will gain most will be him. And if the crown prince came back safely this time, maybe he will also try to kill Xiao Zian." All of these were only a mere unreasonable guess, so how can Lin Chujiu dare to guarantee?
Su Cha nodded his head in agreement with Lin Chujiu's guess: "Now, we just have to wait if the crown prince and the others are alright. But even if they are safe, we have to be careful."
"I don't care if they come back safely or not. You help me to do one thing first." Now that such a great opportunity was in front of her, Lin Chujiu doesn't want to let it go.
"What is it?" Su Cha asked.
"While they are in trouble, I want you to arrange people to spread rumors about the love story between the crown prince, Nannuo Yao, and Lin Wanting. Two women falling in love with the same man." If it is only a love story between two people, it will not make much sense, so Li Chujiu added: "Make it Nannuo Yao intervening the Crown Prince and Lin Wanting's love, so that's why the two cannot get married. If the crown prince and Lin Wanting come back safely, people will only think their disappearance was due to emotional conflict between two women."
The rumors were boundless. Her rumors have been circulating for half a month now, people in the capital must be bored by it. At this time, if there is something new catch their attention, the previous rumor will be covered up.
"This… isn't it sound too fake?" When Su Cha heard those words, he had goosebumps all over his body. Such an outrageous thing, he didn't expect Lin Chujiu will say it seriously.
"Then would you like to pass rumors about Wangye and Nannuo Yao?" Lin Chujiu asked with a smile. Su Cha shook his head immediately: "No, no, if Wangye learns about it, he will kill me."
"It's good that you know." Lin Chujiu gave Su Cha sly smile, but then, she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes shined brightly as she smirked: "Actually, I think of a better idea, but I'm afraid it will be too lethal. The emperor might jump in anger. "
"What is it?" Su Cha was not afraid of the emperor's anger. He was more worried if the emperor didn't get angry!
