Chapter 667 Blue Eyes’ Clever Plan
Lan Tong agreed to it.
"You are always playing tricks on me and making me soft-hearted."
Tong Zhenzhi was surprised.
"So, you promise to help me find a solution?"
She smiled happily, took Sister Tong's arm, and acted coquettishly.
"I know that Sister Tong is the best person and treats me sincerely."
"Sister Tong is the only one in this world..."
It’s better not to listen to the flattery. Lan Tong interrupted her with a soft and soothing voice.
"Okay, okay, stop being so cunning and let's get down to business."
Tong Zhenzhi responded obediently, opened the cabinet door, and took out a can of treasured tea.
"Okay, sister, please think about it and I'll make you some tea."
Lan Tong watched her make tea quietly, pretended to think for a moment, and then asked a question.
"I remember you said before that the emperor arranged a female counselor to go to Feiyaoxuan to teach you strategies?"
Tong Zhenzhi places the tea in a high pouring pot in an orderly manner.
"Yes, it is Lord Feng, the Minister of Secret Affairs."
Blue Eyes corrected.
"She has changed her nationality and restored her status as a princess. You should not address her as Lord Feng, but rather as Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess or Lord Gu."
Tong Zhenzhi was surprised.
"Ah? She...she is also a princess?"
Lan Tong nodded.
"Yes."
Tong Zhenzhi complained angrily.
"Father is so partial. Why can she regain her status but I can't?"
Lan Tong comforted him with kind words and told him the news.
"Recovering her identity is not necessarily a good thing. The mission was not yet completed, but it was suddenly interrupted. This shows that the emperor does not trust her."
"I heard that she has switched sides and joined the court of King Dijin."
Tong Zhenzhi poured a cup of tea and offered it to Sister Tong first.
"What? She is so foolish, how could she abandon her father?"
His blue eyes were calm.
"I guess that during your conversation, she has already found out that you are the princess, and she also knows exactly what you intend to do."
Tong Zhenzhi was about to pour herself some tea, but when she heard this, she stopped in shock.
"She won't report this to the prince, will she?"
Lan Tong smelled the fragrance and tasted the tea, his thoughts free.
"Not yet."
"However, it is only a matter of time before His Majesty is informed."
Tong Zhenzhi's eyes were filled with uneasiness, as if there was a thorn in her back.
"How should I plan? Isn't it a big deal?"
The blue eyes are as warm as the wind and sun, and they are soothing.
"Don't worry, she has only been in the army for a short time and has not yet established her credibility. She dare not disclose the secrets for the time being, for fear that the prince will be suspicious."
"As long as you two can have a happy marriage before she tells the truth, the prince will naturally trust you as his bedmate."
Tong Zhenzhi's eyes suddenly turned firm.
"It makes sense."
"The situation is urgent. I must cut the thread and sever the sludge quickly."
"Sister Tong, what's the plan?"
Seeing that she was holding her ground and not moving, Lan Tong took the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.
"Today, Princess Yuexi will accompany Emperor Yue's coffin and temporarily live in Jinlan Residence in Prince Dijin's mansion. Your brother has her trust, so it won't be difficult for you to enter and leave the mansion."
"In a moment, you prepare the arousing things, and sneak into Prince Dijin's mansion under the pretext of asking to see Princess Yuexi."
Tong Zhenzhi was not in the mood to drink tea. She was fully focused on listening to the strategies and raising questions.
"Everyone who enters the palace must be searched. Even if I have prepared something arousing, I can't bring it in."
Lan Tong gave a solution.
"Relying on Princess Yuexi's favor and your ability to cheat, it will be no problem for you to avoid their body search."
"If something unexpected happens and they insist on searching you and find something foreign, you can say that it was a girl from Bingqingyuan who was jealous of your participation in the Shengjing exam and deliberately framed you."
Tong Zhenzhi felt as if bathed in the spring breeze, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Sister Tong is indeed a brilliant thinker."
"Go on, what should I do after entering the palace?"
Lan Tong described the strategy in an orderly manner.
"You hide first, go to the kitchen of King Di Jin's residence, and quietly take away a jade plate. You must read the engraving on the plate carefully and choose a jade plate that is specially used by the emperor."
"Then, go to the guest kitchen and find the Sixth Princess' dinner box. Replace one of the jade plates, and intentionally expose the seal on the plate halfway so that she can see that this is an imperial regulation."
"There are roughly three possible outcomes for this plan."
"First, the Sixth Princess surrendered not long ago, and was afraid of being accused of usurping power, so she returned the jade plate intact and told the truth that someone in the kitchen accidentally sent the wrong dish."
"If Prince Di Jin believes it, he can enjoy his meal peacefully, and before he knows it, he will be moved by your feelings and spend a wonderful night with you. If he doesn't believe it, you can alienate the two of them, which will not only prevent the Sixth Princess from telling the truth, but also make the prince suspect that the Sixth Princess is pretending to surrender. Once the alienation is successful and the Sixth Princess returns to the emperor, you will have done a great deed."
"Second, the Sixth Princess was completely unaware and enjoyed the imperial meal. She realized something was wrong afterwards and couldn't help herself. You find a maid's outfit, change into a disguise, and ask someone to pass on a message, claiming to be Princess Yuexi's order, and lure away the people around the Sixth Princess."
"The Sixth Princess is known for her graceful beauty. Just find a servant and send him to the Sixth Princess's room. Few men can resist her gentle temptation. They will not dare to publicize their affair with her without any status or position."
"Then, you spread rumors that the Sixth Princess disrespected King Di Jin and used the things that the emperor regulated for her. During the interrogation, she had no way to defend herself. She seemed to be guilty, and the end was predictable. King Di Jin would definitely abandon her. Seeing her in such a state, you gave her appropriate comfort. She had no choice but to return to her."
"Third, the Sixth Princess saw that this was the Emperor's meal, so she didn't eat it, nor did she report it. She sent it back quietly, as if nothing had happened. With her intelligence, it's inevitable that she would suspect that someone couldn't tolerate her and was plotting against her."
"She is in the palace, who can she suspect? Who dares to embezzle the jade plate of King Di Jin? It can only be King Di Jin himself or Princess Yuexi."
"No matter who the Sixth Princess suspects, it will have the effect of alienating people. She will definitely not be willing to serve King Dijin wholeheartedly. Then, your secret will naturally be kept."
Tong Zhenzhi's heart was blossoming, and a hint of joy appeared on her brows.
"It is a very well thought out plan with nothing left out. It is truly a brilliant plan."
Lan Tong was a little ashamed and modest.
"It's just a simple plan, no need to praise it."
After the polite words, she gave serious instructions.
"You must remember, Princess Yuexi is cautious. This plan depends on a quick victory. Only if you succeed as soon as possible can you succeed. If you delay, the plan will be exposed."
Tong Zhenzhi responded solemnly.
"Okay, I remember."
She was diligent in asking questions and continued to raise doubts.
"I went to ask for an audience, and the servants had to inform Princess Yuexi according to the rules. When we met later, the princess asked me why I was late. How should I answer?"
Lan Tong replied calmly.
"You'd better hide yourself, lest you fall into her hands and be discovered by her, and it will be difficult for you to escape and carry out your plan."
"If we meet by chance, you can tell her that I am not good at etiquette and did not ask for a guide. I got lost in the mansion and searched for a long time. Finally, I met someone and asked for the address of Jinlan."
Tong Zhenzhi responded.
"it is good."
Blue pupils reminded.
"After this plan is completed, the situation is clear. Princess Yuexi will be afraid and will definitely take action."
Tong Zhenzhi was terrified.
"She'll try to kill me?"
Lan Tong analyzed the situation calmly and logically.
"How dare she move under the prince's nose? If she is not careful, she will arouse the prince's suspicion. She will be narrow-minded and jealous, and she will lose more than she gains."
"Princess Yuexi has unique ideas and is not an ordinary person. I guess she will find another way."
Tong Zhenzhi was completely puzzled.
"What alternative path?"
His Royal Highness Prince Li often mentioned the secrets of the Bronze Table, and Lan Tong knew them clearly, so he used them as a strategy.
"Once she finds out your true identity, she might even lie and say that you are not the princess, but the daughter of one of her friends."
"Can you trust it?"
