Chapter 51 This move was so cruel that the princess was shocked!

In the magnificent palace in Xinyang City,
The white veil fluttered in the gentle autumn breeze.

Early autumn weather,
This palace is already cold and quiet.
The palace is planted with winter plum trees, which is very similar to the Guangxin Palace in the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The eldest princess was wondering all the way what kind of surprise Li Chengde would prepare for her in Xinyang.

Then, just as she walked into her own palace, she suddenly saw a familiar figure leaning on a short couch.

The eldest princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had long guessed that nothing would happen to the other party, she was not completely relieved until she actually saw it.

"You occupy my palace so openly, aren't you afraid that I will report you for deceiving the emperor in front of His Majesty?" The princess smiled and made a little joke.

Li Chengde smiled in relief, not caring at all.

"I only said that I was assassinated and disappeared, but I didn't say that I was dead. Your Majesty guessed wrong, so you can't blame me."

The eldest princess came closer with a playful expression.
"You are so smooth-talking. No wonder Wan'er repeatedly told me not to take any action against your property before I left Kyoto."

"You mean the imperial manor outside the city?" Li Chengde was very confident. "The Fan family brothers will help me take care of it."

The eldest princess had no idea where his confidence came from.

However, if you think about it carefully, the relationship between him and the Fan siblings seems to be really special.

It is normal to have this confidence.

But there was one thing that she couldn't figure out.

"Why are you suddenly cooperating with Northern Qi? Are you planning to take action against His Majesty?" The eldest princess' smile gradually disappeared.

Although she didn't mind Li Chengde and His Majesty becoming enemies, she couldn't help but feel very conflicted if the two sides really started fighting.

"Yes." Li Chengde did not hide anything, "Only when His Majesty dies can Qing Kingdom make further progress!"

"And I have a plan here that I need my aunt's help to realize."

Hearing this, the eldest princess' eyes suddenly narrowed.

She knew that any plan that came out of Li Chengde's mouth would most likely be extremely vicious!
And she is only too willing to use this strategy on Your Majesty.

But then, Li Chengde said something that she found hard to refuse.

"You will implement this plan. Once successful, Qing and Northern Qi will be unified."

"By that time, you will become the woman who unites the entire continent, with great achievements and a name that will go down in history!"

The princess had to admit it.

She was already somewhat shaken.

Although the strategy was proposed by Li Chengde, it was she who implemented it in the end.

What's more, Li Chengde and she have a relatively close relationship. It seems that it's okay to borrow Li Chengde's strategy to pave the way for herself...

The eldest princess successfully convinced herself.

She slowly raised her face, her beautiful face showing great determination, "What are you going to do?"

Li Chengde did not answer directly, but uttered a sentence, "Have you heard of "a lonely man"? "

"!!!"

The eldest princess was deeply shocked.

Although many books in this world have been lost, a large number of idioms and proverbs have been passed down orally.

Even if you don't know the meaning, the literal meaning alone is enough to make you realize the value of this word.

"A lonely and widowed man", the most important words here are "lonely" and "widowed".

She probably already knew what Li Chengde was going to do.

But the more this happened, the more horrible it became to her!
Li Chengde's eyes were indifferent. "Since the emperor is alone, I will make him live up to his reputation."

The eldest princess could more or less understand this idea. After all, His Majesty the Emperor was indeed a bit ruthless.

Your Majesty has always treated Li Chengde as a tool, doing things for him that he could not do personally in order to consolidate his own power.

Even when Li Chengde's life or death was unknown, the first thing they thought of was not saving him, but dividing the inheritance!

If you stand in Li Chengde's position,
She knew that it was normal for Li Chengde to take revenge on Emperor Qing!
But this strategy is really scary!
"Your Majesty, don't you want to eliminate all the great masters in the world? Very good, satisfy him."

"But what is the price of standing at the top?" "The prince's current position is very stable, there is no need for him to take risks.
But if something is discovered by Emperor Qing, the prince can only try to protect himself."

"The Second Prince has fallen out with Emperor Qing.
But now that I have died unexpectedly, he may use Li Chengze again."

"Of course, as long as Fan Xian can quickly gain a foothold in the court, I think Li Chengze will have no use to me."

"Then only Li Chengping is left...

It is very likely that His Majesty allowed Fan Xian to get close to Li Chengping in order to allow Li Chengping to compete with the Crown Prince.

After all, this will balance the power of both sides.”

"So, since the Crown Prince might be forced to rebel, what about Li Chengping and Fan Xian?"

"Of course it's possible!"

Having said this, Li Chengde suddenly stopped.

The more the princess listened, the more frightened she became.

Just as she guessed, Li Chengde was planning to force His Majesty into a lonely man step by step!

The conditions of the Crown Prince and Li Chengze are actually ripe, the only ones who are difficult to deal with are Li Chengping and the eldest prince.

But unexpectedly, Li Chengde said,

"Li Chengru has the least problems. He can defect with just one sentence."

"However, Fan Xian's problem is even bigger. He is Ye Qingmei's son."

After the words fell, the eldest princess' eyes widened.

Her face was slightly distorted. "What did you say? Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son? I want him dead!"

Li Chengde reached out and held her head. "Don't get excited. Why do you think His Majesty gave the inner treasury to Fan Xian? Was it just because he is Fan Jian's son?"

"The inner treasury was originally created by Ye Qingmei. Even if you revive the inner treasury, you will always live in the shadow of Ye Qingmei."

As he spoke, Li Chengde moved his hand down and pinched the princess's jaw.

"Only if you are strong enough can you eliminate the psychological shadow that Ye Qingmei has brought to you."

The madness in the eldest princess' eyes gradually disappeared, and reason took over again. "How are you going to deal with Fan Xian?"

Li Chengde shook his head slightly, "Fan Xian is not important, he is just a means to deal with Emperor Qing."

"Tell me, if Fan Xian knew the truth about Ye Qingmei's death, how would he react?"

The eldest princess' heart suddenly trembled.

It is obvious that Fan Xian would never have any trust in Emperor Qing, and he would only be more decisive in stabbing him.

But she still had a concern, "Do you know everything about Ye Qingmei's cause of death?"

Li Chengde smiled calmly, "That was all done by the Queen and the uncle of the emperor back then. What does it have to do with you?"

After saying this, the princess no longer had any doubts.

If Li Chengde's plan is followed to intensify the conflicts between Emperor Qing and his sons, Emperor Qing will soon fall into an extremely lonely situation!
At that time, Emperor Qing could probably only try to have another child to solve the situation of having no children available.

But then again, can Emperor Qing still have children?

The eldest princess didn't know.

But she knew that Li Chengde would not give Emperor Qing the chance to start over.

He will only push everyone around Emperor Qing to the opposite side of Emperor Qing and make Emperor Qing feel lonely!

Finally, die in loneliness!
This is a very cruel strategy.

Let the eldest princess feel inferior!

Taking a deep breath, the princess calmed herself down and said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Li Chengde was still holding the princess's jaw and had not yet let go.

“No rush, we need to proceed step by step with your majesty’s plan and gradually remove the people close to your majesty.

But now the night is long, and we have other things to do..."
