Chapter 455 Caught eavesdropping
"I have trained 200,000 troops in my hands. They are all waiting at the southern border. If the matter is really exposed, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives the order, I will let them help you seize the throne."
"By then, this Dongchen Kingdom will still be yours."
Luo Jingshen was delighted when he heard this. He hurriedly asked, "Fourth Uncle, do you really have 200,000 troops?"
King Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Of course, otherwise, what do you think I have been doing outside the palace these years?"
After hearing what he said, Luo Jingshen felt more confident.
You know, he still has 50,000 Long Yue Army and 20,000 Jin Geying private army.
All these added together would be a considerable force, enough to counter the 100,000 troops in the capital!
Seeing Luo Jingshen's relaxation, King Nan Xiao said to him again: "So, please relax, Your Highness, you have helpers behind you, including me and the 200,000-man army."
"My people will also keep an eye on the developments in the palace. If there is any emergency, I will send troops to support you as soon as possible."
"You just need to continue to play the role of the crown prince well. When the time is right, we will be able to take down Dongchen Kingdom in one fell swoop."
Luo Jingshen nodded lightly, "With the words of the Fourth Emperor's uncle, I feel relieved!"
"It's getting late. I won't disturb Fourth Uncle's rest any more. Goodbye!"
Luo Jingshen stood up and was about to leave when Prince Nan Xiao stopped him, "Your Highness, wait a minute."
"What else does Fourth Uncle want to say?" Luo Jingshen looked at him puzzledly.
Prince Nan Xiao took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and said, "I heard from Concubine Li that you are very short of money recently. I have two hundred thousand taels of banknotes here. You can take them first."
"I have treated you badly in the past. I will do my best to make it up to you in the future."
When he said this, he looked at Luo Jingshen with gentle eyes.
"Shen'er, you are my only son. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you don't hate me."
"I do this for your own good. As long as you can sit on the throne, I will die without regrets."
Luo Jingshen hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the banknote. He opened his lips and said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle..."
Other than that, I couldn't utter a single word.
King Nan Xiao sighed, "Alas, you still don't want to call me father."
"Forget it, after all, we haven't seen each other for many years. Your Highness, please leave on your own!"
Luo Jingshen's eyes were complicated. He bowed his hand towards King Nan Xiao and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
After leaving the inn, Luo Jingshen's eyes instantly turned cold. He looked at the stack of banknotes in his hand and curled his lips.
How could he forgive Concubine Li and King Nan Xiao so easily?
These two people must be made to pay the price for the trouble they brought him.
If I forgive them so easily, won't I be able to take advantage of them in the future?
Luo Jingshen leaned against the carriage and smiled coldly: "You, only if you live in guilt for a long time, will you take out the best things to compensate me."
The same is true for King Nan Xiao in the inn.
After Luo Jingshen left, Ji Feng jumped in from the window. He asked in confusion, "Prince, didn't you prepare one million taels of silver for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why did you only give him 200,000 taels just now?"
King Nan Xiao glanced at him and said calmly, "If you were the prince, and I hadn't seen you for many years, and I gave you one million taels as soon as we met, would you forgive me?"
Ji Feng thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would not forgive the prince. Not to mention that I and the prince and his son have not seen each other for many years, there is not much affection between the two sides."
"Besides, I am the crown prince, second only to the emperor. I don't need to rely on anyone to sit firmly on the throne."
"Your Majesty, if you give me money, it will only make me think that you are trying to bribe me and insulting my personality."
Prince Nan Xiao said softly, "Yes, if even you can understand this truth, how could the prince not understand it?"
"He is arrogant to begin with, and this time he is really short of money. In the past, he would not have even considered these two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"To put it bluntly, he has no father-son affection for me at all. He just wants to take advantage of my guilt and profit from me!"
"If that's the case, what's the difference between me giving him 200,000 taels of silver and 1 million taels?"
Ji Feng immediately understood what King Nan Xiao meant, and he gave King Nan Xiao a thumbs up.
"Your Highness is still thinking long-term. After this incident, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will stand on your side!"
King Nan Xiao sneered, "That's not necessarily true. He should think that even without my help, he can still hold on to the throne."
"If my guess is correct, he should make some moves in the next three days."
King Nan Xiao said this and ordered, "Ji Feng, send someone to keep an eye on the East Palace. If the Crown Prince really makes a move, help them when necessary."
"But if his people are not in any danger, then come back and don't expose yourself unless it is absolutely necessary."
King Nan Xiao knew that only by taking action when Luo Jingshen needed him most could he gain Luo Jingshen's trust the fastest.
Ji Feng immediately said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
When Luo Jingshen returned to the East Palace, it was already late at night. He immediately called his personal guard Linchuan to the study and plotted this matter.
The two were talking in the room, and there was a hint of anger in Luo Jingshen's voice.
"He asked me to wait until the time is right, but I can't wait any longer. I will send someone to get rid of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe, the two biggest troublemakers."
"As long as the two of them are alive, I will not be at peace."
Linchuan asked, "Your Highness, do you have any plans?"
Luo Jingshen narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy voice: "Tomorrow night, you will lead your men to disguise themselves as Jianghu assassins and directly break into the Night King's Mansion. If anyone is alive, leave no one alive."
"Not only do I want to burn down the Night Prince's Mansion, I also want to see the heads of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe."
Lin Chuan responded, "Yes, I obey your command."
After he finished speaking, he opened the window out of habit and prepared to leave through the window.
But he didn't expect that he would just glare at Hua Feixue.
Linchuan reacted in a second, pulled out the knife from his waist and put it on her neck.
He asked coldly: "Tell me, what are you doing hiding here?"
Hua Feixue's mouth twitched. Who would have thought that she just couldn't sleep at night and wanted to come and eavesdrop on Luo Jingshen's conversation.
