General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 836: Prime Minister’s Scheming (2)

"Even if I knew, I couldn't help you in that situation." Chen Zihao's deep eyes were filled with self-blame. "I'm glad you met Ji Xiaomu. I thought of ten thousand possible outcomes for us, and none of them is ideal."

In the main city, the Chen family will not let him go, not his father, and not even the Chen family members.

Those people just want to see him in trouble, in a mess, and fall from the altar.

"Isn't it true that my husband and I owe her so much..." Ling Wei kissed Chen Zihao with heartache. She didn't know before that he had been enduring so much pain.

"Yes, we owe her a lot, so we have to help her realize her plan." Chen Zihao nodded. Everything took a new turn because of Ji Xiaomu.

"How are you going to help her?" Ling Wei asked curiously.

"Help her train a wise ruler!" Chen Zihao looked at Ling Wei, hooked her nose, and said bluntly.

"You want to call the Third Prince?" Ling Wei knew that Ji Xiaou was on good terms with the Third Prince. Looking at Chen Zihao, did he want to teach the Third Prince to be a wise ruler?

"Fang Chen feels that the Third Prince is not qualified enough." Chen Zihao said truthfully, "He still needs to grow up if he wants to be the emperor, and he has my father's pawn beside him, lurking by his side for many years."

"Butler Lu?" Ling Wei asked in astonishment. "He was actually your father's chess piece? More than ten years ago? Your father had already given him the chess piece?"

"So you know how much he controls. Everything in the main city is under his control." Chen Zihao said, "It's like a fortress of his. He has been secretly controlling it more than ten years ago. The situation today can be said to be the result of his manipulation."

"It doesn't matter to him who becomes the emperor. What he wants is to be second only to the emperor and above everyone else." Chen Zihao understood very well what the prime minister wanted. What he wanted was not the throne, but real power, absolute power!

"This person is too scary..." Ling Wei's face changed. How could someone be so scheming?

"The emperor died, and the real murderer is still unknown!" Chen Zihao looked at Ling Wei, "I can speculate that it seems that all the princes took action, or it is possible that none of the princes took action. The people they sent out all had contact with one person."

"...Who?" Ling Wei felt like her brain wasn't enough.

"A very ordinary maid." Chen Zihao said. "When I followed the clues and found her, I discovered that she was sent to the palace thirteen years ago and worked as a laundry woman. Then she gradually became a maid by the emperor's side and stayed by the emperor's side for ten years."

"And the person who sent her into the palace was one of my father's former capable subordinates." Chen Zihao exhaled, "I don't have complete certainty or evidence, but I am sure that the emperor's death was inseparable from my father's manipulation."

"Your fake death...he will find out, right?" Ling Wei suddenly became uncertain. Chen Zihao's fake death didn't seem so guaranteed.

"Even if he knew I was still alive, he would only laugh at me and think that I was useless and had no future. I used such a despicable method just to get rid of him." Chen Zihao chuckled, "I have been by my father's side for so many years. At least... I know his temper very well."

"The more meticulous he is, the more he will feel that I am not dead, but he won't send anyone to find me because there is no need..." Chen Zihao said with a smile.
