After a while, everyone quieted down and cautiously looked at him.
The strategist closest to him tentatively asked, "What is Your Highness thinking about?"
Qin Jinhao slowly raised his eyes, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowing, and said in a deep voice, "You all seem to have forgotten that Mu Qingge’s coming-of-age ceremony is near. According to my father’s original decree, he is about to return to Luodu from Yi City."
Everyone was momentarily stunned, exchanging glances with each other.
They all had the same suspicion: What does this wastrel of the Mu Family have to do with their grand scheme?
Yet, these strategists had been with Prince Rui for a long time and were already aware of his desire for the Mu Family’s military power. So, after Prince Rui said these words, they dared not speak recklessly.
Finally, the most senior strategist, representing everyone, asked, "The last time the Mu Family dandy left Luodu, it wasn’t just us; there were other assassination squads on the road. In the end, they were inexplicably killed, and we suspected at the time if Mu Xiong had secretly arranged it. Does Your Highness plan to make a move again when Mu Qingge returns from Yi City this time?"
Seeing that everyone misunderstood his meaning, Qin Jinhao frowned deeply: "That matter has been investigated for a long time without results, and you still have the face to talk about it. I mentioned Mu Qingge just to say that if he returns this time, and the Mu Mansion still does not show support for me, then when we send off the Crown Prince, we might as well also take care of the Mu Mansion. Those unloyal to me are grave threats if left behind. Moreover, I also need troops in hand to guard against any desperate acts by the Han faction."
Finally understanding Prince Rui’s intentions, everyone quickly praised him for his sharp mind and comprehensive consideration. One scheme after another flowed in this dark room.
Mu Qingge had not yet returned to Luodu, but it seemed he was already deeply entangled in the undercurrents there.
...
In Yi City, the fortress on the cliff at the border remained towering and perilous.
