The next day, Lin Chujiu didn’t wait for Xiao Tianyao’s reply but waited for the news about the crown prince, Ji Fengyu, Lin Wanting, and Nannuo Yao until she received that they had disappeared in the hunting ground.

“Who did this?” Lin Chujiu almost jump in surprise.

Who is so bold to offend the east, the south, and the west country altogether?

“I don’t know, but it’s not the northern people.” When Su Cha received the news, he hurriedly informed Lin Chujiu, hoping that she could make preparations in advance, so that they won’t be planted to take the blame.

“The mysterious forces hiding in the capital?” Lin Chujiu pondered for a moment and asked: “Are you saying that it could be the people behind Ci Entang?”

So far, they haven’t found out any news related to the people behind the Ci Entang.

“It’s not impossible.” Su Cha was not surprised, obviously, he also thought the same, but… …

“What is their purpose for doing this?” This was something Su Cha also couldn’t understand.

If there will be no profit, why would someone do this?

“Well, if the crown prince died, there will be chaos in the palace court.” They don’t know the people behind this event, so they can’t tell the purpose of the other party.

Lin Chujiu added another sentence: “Keep an eye on this matter, if there is news about the crown prince, report it to me immediately.” The four missing people showed the power of the forces behind it, which made Lin Chujiu very concern.

Su Cha nodded his head, and because he fears her to get worried, he added: “w.a.n.gfei, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao w.a.n.gfu, you don’t have to worry.”

“Who said it has nothing to do with us?” Lin Chujiu replied without looking back at Su Cha: “If those four people died and they can’t find the real culprit, based on the principle of whoever will benefit the most in this case, the people behind the scene, who do you think most likely be?”

“Is it w.a.n.gye?” Su Cha thought for a while, but then he thought it was impossible: “w.a.n.gye doesn’t need to do such a thing.”

Lin Chujiu chuckled and said: “That is what you think, other people may not think the same. On the way to the front line, the Southern and Western Countries sent a lot of a.s.sa.s.sins to kill w.a.n.gye. w.a.n.gye was so angry that he decided to kill their prince and princess, this will be the normal case. In addition to that, if one successfully provokes the relations.h.i.+p between the east, south and west country, who will benefit the most?”

Su Cha thought for a moment and realized: “It’s w.a.n.gye. The Emperor is busy dealing with the difficulties of the south and west. He has no energy to fight with w.a.n.gye. w.a.n.gye can take this opportunity to take over his military power. If the south and west threatened the emperor, he will get benefits from it.”

“Right, it’s w.a.n.gye who will get the benefits the most. If the crown prince died, the east will need to choose a new crown prince. Once the other princes compete for the throne, they will start to fish people.” They will start to fish Xiao Tianyao. As long as one gets Xiao Tianyao’s support, his chance to seat for the crown prince position will be half stable.

“However, while we, in the east, will have civil strife, the north, the south, and the west will also get benefits.” The civil strife will shake the national strength, the other three countries can attack them.

Su Cha’s thought was not unreasonable, but… …
