Chapter 461: Agree
Chapter 461: Agree
"Instead of threatening me, Seventh Prince, you should be thinking of a way to get Song Miqiu on your side. Otherwise..."
You'll all be rivals sooner or later, won't you?
Although Liuli was afraid of the Seventh Prince, she still had to say what needed to be said, and she knew that he would not be willing to hurt Song Miqiu.
Moreover, she could use the Seventh Prince to separate Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin, so why not?
The Seventh Prince looked at Liuli, his eyes narrowing slightly: "From what you're saying, you've come up with a plan? Tell me, what's your plan?"
"I've heard of a drug that can control a person's mind. If we could get this drug, wouldn't it be much simpler to get Song Miqiu to be with you?"
Liuli leaned close to the Seventh Prince's ear and whispered something.
The Seventh Prince looked at Liuli, surprised that she knew about this. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "If we find this medicine, should we give it to Yu Huailin as well?"
The two looked at each other and smiled. The fact that the Seventh Prince said this meant that he was interested. Then the two began to plot.
After leaving Song Miqiu's place, Yu Huailin returned to his own courtyard to visit Du Chun'an.
"It seems you're recovering well," Yu Huailin said, looking at Du Chun'an walking around outside.
Du Chun'an nodded slightly: "Of course it's good. You've already saved me, so even if it's just to repay your kindness, I have to live. I can't let you save me for nothing."
"It's good that you're aware of this, since we'll really need your help later on."
Yu Huailin looked at Du Chun'an and said softly.
Du Chun'an frowned slightly: "You don't need to keep reminding me. I know you saved me for a reason, the throne, right? I will help."
"I want the throne. Are you sure you can really help me like this? And are you sure you're just going to stay here and never leave?"
Yu Huailin frowned slightly and said softly.
Du Chun'an asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
"I feel you can't stay here to recover indefinitely. It's not that I'm looking down on you, but if you want revenge, you can't hide in the shadows; you have to be in the open."
"Wouldn't it be satisfying to let the Emperor know, clearly and subtly, that you're still alive, and that he can't touch you for the time being, keeping you at a distance until the final blow kills him?"
Yu Huailin's lips curled up slightly, as if he could already see the emperor being dragged down.
Seeing Yu Huailin's expression, Du Chun'an knew that he must have some kind of plan, so he asked, "Do you have some plan for me to do?"
"I came to see you today for this matter, and of course I also want to ask whether you are willing or not. If you are not willing, then forget it."
Although Yu Huailin's plan required Du Chun'an to carry it out, it was too risky, as it involved sending him to the emperor's presence, which was extremely dangerous.
Du Chun'an didn't actually want to get involved in the power struggle among the princes; he only wanted to avenge the Empress Dowager.
If Yu Huailin insisted that he participate, he naturally wouldn't be able to refuse, but instead, he asked him if he was willing.
Seeing Du Chun'an's expression, Yu Huailin knew he wasn't entirely willing, so he stood up and said, "Think it over carefully. If you change your mind..."
That would be best, of course, but if you don't want to, that's fine too. Do as you please. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now.
Du Chun'an nodded slightly to him, then watched him leave.
After Yu Huailin left, Du Chun'an kept thinking about this matter. He hesitated whether he should agree to it, even though he had some things to offer.
The Emperor himself harmed the Empress Dowager, and he has no chance of getting revenge on his own. If Yu Huailin could help, things might be much simpler.
Just as he was deep in thought, the guards suddenly entered from outside. Seeing that Du Chun'an was somewhat lost in thought, they were filled with doubts.
"Master, has something happened?"
Upon seeing that it was his bodyguard, Du Chun'an shook his head: "Nothing happened, I've just been hesitating and don't know what to choose."
"Master can do whatever he wants; we will always follow him," the guard said.
Du Chun'an looked at the guard and nodded. He still needed to think things through carefully and make sure he had everything planned out.
Several days passed, and Du Chun'an kept thinking about it. In the end, he decided to agree to Yu Huailin's request.
Du Chun'an had his bodyguard tell Yu Huailin the news, but to his surprise, Yu Huailin ignored the bodyguard.
Seeing the guards who had been sent away, Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin and said, "Du Chun'an has already agreed. You should go find him now. Why do you look like this?"
“Now I think I may have chosen the wrong person. I always thought Du Chun’an was a smart man who knew what he should do, but I was wrong. He is not.”
Yu Huailin rubbed his head and said softly.
Song Miqiu, sitting to the side, said, "It's understandable that he would do this. Exposing himself to the Emperor's watchful eye is tantamount to suicide."
No one would agree to that, because it's too risky, and everyone values their life.
"What I'm doing is clearly a win-win situation, not just something I can benefit from. The Emperor must know that Du Chun'an is not dead."
They will definitely come looking for him. He knows all too well how capable the Emperor's secret guards are; when the time comes, he'll only be able to die silently.
However, his appearance not only put him in the Emperor's sight but also in the eyes of the people. If something were to happen to him, the matter would not be easily resolved.
And he won't be in any danger; I'll help him too.
Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu and began to explain.
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, why didn’t you tell Du Chun’an? You could have just explained it to him. Why keep him hanging?” Song Miqiu said softly.
Yu Huailin sneered: "I think this kind of person needs to be suppressed once and for all, otherwise they will definitely keep coming back."
Song Miqiu had nothing to say about any of his actions.
Yu Huailin's reaction was unexpected by Du Chun'an. He became a little anxious, wondering if he had been thinking for too long and had displeased Yu Huailin.
Therefore, he no longer intends to form an alliance with me, and the plan to speak with me earlier has been cancelled.
Thinking that this was the only way to avenge the Empress Dowager, Du Chun'an became anxious. He wanted to go find Yu Huailin, but he didn't dare to go out.
He didn't know if there were any of the Emperor's men outside, so he could only wait anxiously in his room.
Two days later, Yu Huailin finally arrived late.
When he finally appeared, Du Chun'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally subsided.
"Are you really sure? This is a very risky matter. Although I will help you, it doesn't mean everything will be able to happen in time," Yu Huailin reminded him again.
Du Chun'an nodded repeatedly: "I know, but I will be careful."
