Only then did Princess Jin say, “Father, he wants you to deal with those people who are watching you first and make the rear impregnable. Although this is beneficial to you, don’t you think he is doing all this to benefit him?
“No one has been watching our residence. From what I see, those people who are here might be tracking his moves instead of ours. We’ve never been targeted before, not until he came. Even the Emperor and Empress Dowager have never sent anyone to secretly watch us.”
“It’s not impossible.” Prince Ying nodded. He might not listen to others, but he could still listen to his precious daughter no matter what.
Princess Jin sat down as well. She picked up the tea cup and lifted the lid. She took a sip unhurriedly and then said, “He said that the child is dangerous, but what about him? Father, please be careful of him too.”
“What you said makes sense.” Prince Ying nodded in agreement.
“Originally, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor trusted you very much and never stood guard against you. However, because of Prince Yi, you sent someone to Xinyuan county to deal with some things, which led to the current situation.”
“I’m having a headache over this.” Prince Yings face was bitter. “Originally, I regretted it when I saw the Emperor secretly send my men back to me. However, Prince Yi used the Ji family as a warning to me. I was afraid that I would follow in the footsteps of the Ji family, so I thought that it was better to be safe than sorry. I didn’t believe that the Emperor would be so kind.”
“You might have fallen into Prince Yi’s trap again.” Princess Jin put down her tea and smiled.
“What do you mean?” Prince Ying was puzzled.
“If it wasn’t for him, do you think you’d end up here? Originally, the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. If you want to be the Emperor, we can do it openly. Jingyue is yours, and everyone here is loyal to you. Why should you use such despicable methods to secretly go to Xinyuan to kill people and damage your reputation?”
Prince Ying thought about how he did not know whether to retreat or advance. He was indeed not wise enough to be an Emperor. He sighed and said, “l was muddle-headed back then… Jin, only you know that there’s a huge knot in my heart. It’s all because your Grandfather passed the throne to your muddle-headed uncle.
“Since ancient times, there have been cases of passing on the throne to the wise but not to the eldest son. However, your uncle was so muddle-headed, and your grandfather… We don’t need to go there.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I was a little muddle-headed and sent people to Xinyuan at that time… And now no one wants to listen to me…”
Princess Jin smiled and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are stubborn and do not listen to others, I wouldn’t be here. I was told to come back after hearing the news. I even rushed back immediately.”
“l knew you didn’t come back to see me on purpose,” Prince Ying cursed as he laughed.
“What do you mean? Aren’t the military camps getting a little busy recently? I wanted to help manage the military camp, so I didn’t come back to only see you. You said it yourself, I always end up coming home to you.”
“That’s true.” Prince Ying smiled and nodded twice. “Then after saying so much, Jin, what do you mean….?”
