Another Scheme

"Alright, let's get down to business," Feng Yili said lightly as he brought a letter out.

Luo Xiuran took the letter, and after reading it, his expression turned cold immediately. He said indignantly, "The Emperor actually wanted to uproot all your forces when you're not in Tianxia! Feng Weizhou's participation in the state banquet was just a distraction. He has long known you're not in Tianxia so he used Feng Weizhou to make you let down your guard!"

Then, Luo Xiuran thought of something and said, "Wait. Isn't he worried that you'd discover the truth and deal with Feng Weizhou immediately? If so, he wouldn't have a Crown Prince anymore."

An unreadable expression appeared on Feng Yili's face as he said, "Imperial Brother is suspicious by nature. The Crown Prince and the Empress had done many things behind his back over the years, and he can't tolerate them anymore. If we get rid of the Crown Prince, he'll probably be happy."
