Chapter 444 Timing
Chapter 444 Timing
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the First Prince has been imprisoned in the Zongzheng Temple's soft cell."
Han Jingyang frowned and bit the upper knuckle of his index finger, the worry between his eyebrows could not be dissipated: "Aren't you worried?"
"I am a clay Buddha crossing the river, why should I worry about him?"
The third prince Qin Mingjin leaned back and the rocking chair rocked gently twice.
He knew what Han Jingyang was worried about, but it was unnecessary. This was not what he should be concerned about now.
The incident of the eldest brother killing his mother and crippling his brother fermented at the time of the case of Concubine Yu's mother, and it would definitely be exploited.
Even if Shu Guipin watched coldly, the other concubines who wanted to take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the fire would not let him go.
Thinking of the bustle in Hanzhang Palace and the sudden enthusiasm of the other concubines towards Concubine Yu's mother, the Third Prince Qin Mingjin sneered in his heart.
His current state is like a wounded beast being hunted by a pack of wild dogs.
After the blood comes out, everyone wants to lick it and taste it.
"Don't worry about these useless things." The third prince Qin Mingjin squinted his eyes, lying in a rocking chair, holding a piece of jade in his hand and twisting it gently.
"Then what would be useful? I'll go and make arrangements in advance and have someone clean up the cell next to the eldest prince so that you can sleep more comfortably after moving in?"
Han Jingyang said with a smile.
"Your Highness, are you just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"Just sit there and wait for death?" Qin Mingjin smiled, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, the warm jade slowly turning under his fingertips, "Yes... wait for the opportunity, make plans before taking action."
"What have you planned? Can you tell it to my study partner and cousin?" Han Jingyang squatted beside Qin Mingjin and rested his chin on the fur-wrapped armrest.
"We are just waiting for the right opportunity. Don't be impatient." The third prince Qin Mingjin raised his eyes slightly, his tone steady and slow.
"Given the way that Concubine Shu Gui killed my biological mother, do you think she would just make Concubine Yu's mother have a 'miscarriage'?"
"Whether it's the pulse of Concubine Yu's mother, the disappearance of pulse cases in recent years, or the death of the two imperial doctors, none of them actually directly pointed to anyone. If you want to put the blame on me, you can't just find one or two false witnesses or physical evidence to say that I did it."
“These things are all for Mother Yu to see. As long as Mother Yu believes it…” The third prince Qin Mingjin raised his eyebrows.
Han Jingyang frowned and interrupted Qin Mingjin: "It's not what you did, but it's what you did for."
Qin Mingjin sighed and continued in a gentle voice, "That's why the ladies were so eager to persuade Concubine Yu's mother. She intended to start with Concubine Yu's mother and let her accuse me of being 'unfilial'. After the mother and son fall out, anyone can use this as an excuse to impeach me."
"Everyone is probably going to rush to tell Concubine Yu about the eldest prince's matter. Why don't you pack up and prepare to go to the palace?" Han Jingyang stood up suddenly. "Are you planning to give up on yourself?"
He pulled Qin Mingjin's arm and tried to pull him up, but failed. "Why are you so heavy?"
"This is called stability." The third prince Qin Mingjin stood up slowly.
"I have someone keeping a close eye on Hanzhang Palace. If Mother Concubine Yu doesn't angrily accuse me of being unfilial, she might leave a last will scolding me."
"Last words?" Han Jingyang gritted his teeth.
"Who do you think is the good guy among those people in the palace? If Concubine Yu's mother had a miscarriage for no reason, and I was accused of being unfilial, I am still the third prince. No matter how unfilial I am, I am still a prince."
"Your Highness means that... Concubine Yu's life is in danger?" Han Jingyang's breathing paused for a beat.
"Not too stupid." The third prince Qin Mingjin smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, jokingly.
"I have already told my father all my concerns. As long as someone moves..." Qin Mingjin lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Han Jingyang lowered his voice and asked, "What if the other party stops here?"
"You've pushed me into a corner and bared your fangs. Will you let me go? Will I be able to sleep well in the future?"
