Bab 824: Chapter 824: Pawn

Zhuangzi and Zhou Shuren, husband and wife, were strolling in the garden to aid their digestion, with Zhulan having dismissed the maids and the young servants, leaving just the couple there.

Zhulan said, "The rumors about the true and false prince, who do you think is behind it?"

Zhou Shuren, without even thinking, directly said, "Yao Wenqi."

Zhulan said, "I think so too."

Zhou Shuren plucked a leaf and fiddled with it in his hand, speaking softly, "This bomb that Shen Yang has dropped has sabotaged the Emperor's plans. Although I don't know much, having always followed the Crown Prince, I overheard a few things; the progress in the Jianghuai area is good."

Zhulan continued, "Moreover, Zhang Jinghong's understanding has already made him an important chess piece in the Emperor's hand. Now with the rumors spreading, this chess piece Zhang Jinghong is as good as discarded."
