Chapter 382 Plan Adjustment
"So, he told me this information because he wanted to use me to get rid of Liu Dexia?" This was the first thing Zhou Chang thought of after sending Fang She away.
"I guess it is..." The skinny monkey started attacking the fruits on the table again.
Zhou Chang had just had a stomach upset, so he didn't dare to eat anything. He just wandered around in the middle of the field: "How can I let others use me as a knife? But since I have this plan, then..."
"This Manager Fang looks like he doesn't care about anything, but he must know everything. He can't be unaware of the grudge between Liu Dexia and our Huilan Garden." The skinny monkey crunched up another apple in a few bites.
"However, there is now another Peng Liang. Gao Yuan has always been worried about Liu E. It was inconvenient for her to stay in the imperial city before, and now she is in this hunting palace in the wilderness..." Zhou Chang pondered as he paced.
The skinny monkey had already poured the remaining sour plum soup into his stomach.
"No matter what, the plan must be carried out," Zhou Chang made up his mind after a while. After all, it was the wish of Prince Yi Fengming. She had been in this position for so long, how could she not work for him? "But Peng Liang cannot be let go either. It is better to find an opportunity to kill them both."
"Whatever your Highness says is fine..." The skinny monkey had almost cleared away everything on the table.
"By the way, have you prepared everything?" Zhou Chang was already worried about what he was about to do.
"Uh..." The skinny monkey finally burped, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my job for you."
Zhou Chang wanted to give a few more instructions and ask Gao Yuan to come over to discuss the matter again, but Yuan Qi came back with two maids.
"Where is Yuan Jie?" She had to put the topic aside temporarily and greet Yuan Qi.
"He went back to Concubine Qin, and the Twelfth Prince is looking for him very hard." Yuan Qi replied.
"If you feel bored here, you can go and chat with Concubine Qin. You don't have to stay in the tent all the time." Zhou Chang went in and out several times throughout the day, but Yuan Qi didn't move.
Yuan Qi smiled and shook his head, then sat aside and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
Zhou Chang thought of the bracelet again: "By the way, is that giant clam bracelet very valuable?"
"Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. I just play with it on a daily basis." Yuan Qi took a sip of herbal tea.
"It must be very valuable. Just now, Fang She's eyeballs almost popped out." Zhou Chang wanted to express his gratitude, but he couldn't say it on this matter.
Originally, their marriage was a fake one, and she couldn't give Yuan Qi anything, but she also never intended to ask for anything from Yuan Qi. As a result, after all this, she had lost count of how much benefit she had gotten from Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi smiled generously, not taking it to heart at all: "Fang She has only one good thing, that is, he is greedy for money. As long as he wants it, there will be no problem. It's so hot today, since he has come here in person, there is no way he can let him return empty-handed."
"Oh, you know how to do business." Zhou Chang agreed wholeheartedly and gave a thumbs up in his heart.
Yuan Qi peeled a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, seeming to understand the meaning behind it: "Why, Your Majesty doesn't agree?"
"Honestly, I can't compare to you." Zhou Chang told the truth.
Prince Yi had neither the financial resources nor did she have such acumen.
At least when Fang She came just now, no one thought of giving Fang She any benefits.
Yuan Qi just smiled and said nothing more.
That night, the hunting palace was packed up and some people moved in. Only those soldiers who were eager to get more prey stayed in the camp.
According to Zhou Chang's earlier idea, she should have returned to the Hunting Palace long ago, but now that plans have changed, she is unable to stay in the Hunting Palace with Yuan Qi.
Just because according to Skinny Monkey's information, Peng Liang was also staying in the camp.
Zhou Chang also knew that he found an excuse to stay and wanted to "practice horse riding", and he also asked someone to call Gao Yuan down the mountain.
"I don't agree." After hearing Zhou Chang's plan, Gao Yuan was the first to stand up and oppose it.
At this time, only Zhou Chang, Gao Yuan and Shouhou were left in the tent.
Zhou Chang was surprised. He thought Gao Yuan would agree with her wholeheartedly because her plan was to take advantage of the chaos in the camp when the grass and trees were dense and the trees were tall to kidnap Peng Liang, then force him to tell the truth about Liu E, and then beat him up as a "small revenge" on him.
"Why? You've been looking for Liu E for such a long time and still can't find her whereabouts. It was not easy to take action in the imperial city before, but now that you're in the suburbs, the chances are much better." Zhou Chang was puzzled.
Gao Yuan frowned and said, "If he refuses to say anything, Miss Liu will be in even greater danger."
"If he is really stubborn and refuses to admit it, then just throw him into the cliff at the back mountain or into the dense forest in the hunting ground and put an end to it all." Zhou Chang was also furious. The hunting palace had a special terrain, with a cliff on the north side and steep slopes on the east and west sides. The only road going up the mountain on the south side was a gentle slope.
"Your Highness, you can't do this. If you do this, wouldn't even Miss Liu be..." Gao Yuan was nervous.
Zhou Chang was just talking nonsense. How could he kill the son of the Minister of War just like that?
Seeing that Gao Yuan's originally square face had become thinner and his jawline pointed, Zhou Chang also felt distressed: "Hey, Gao Yuan, you have thought of all the possibilities, right? If it weren't for Miss Liu, I'm afraid you would have cut that guy into pieces long ago, right?"
Gao Yuan was silent.
"What else can we do?" Zhou Chang was at a loss.
Being afraid to use the right weapon means you can't do anything.
"I do have an idea..." The skinny monkey who was cleaning the dinner table suddenly spoke, with rice grains on his lips.
Zhou Chang didn't hold out hope: "What can you do?"
The skinny monkey was still holding the bowl of soup he had just finished drinking. "Your Majesty, do you remember those nettles we saw today? Why not give some to that guy?"
"Will this make him tell the truth?" Zhou Chang didn't think this was a good idea.
"No, but this method can teach that guy a lesson without leaving any trace. Otherwise, the prince and Brother Gao would be angry just looking at him." The skinny monkey began to clean up the dishes.
"Uh..." Zhou Chang looked at Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan had no expression on his face and was as still as a wooden stick again.
If Liu E cannot be saved, even if Peng Liang dies, Gao Yuan probably won’t care.
Only Zhou Chang still has large bruises on his buttocks and lower back.
We shouldn't let that guy get too proud, there are still Liu Dexia and Xu Wei behind him.
"Alright..." Thinking of this, Zhou Chang also planned to practice with Peng Liang first, "However, if we just want to teach that guy a lesson, Gao Yuan doesn't have to go. Monkey and I can go."
"How can this be possible? Your Highness, you can't..." Gao Yuan looked like a wooden man, but he didn't say a word.
Zhou Chang raised his hand to stop him: "Your features are too obvious, and it's easy to be exposed. This is a small matter, and Skinny Monkey and I can do it. What's more, even if it is exposed, it's no big deal. That day I beat Peng Liang in public, and everyone knows that I have a grudge against him. It's not surprising even if I do it again."
"Hehe, that's what I mean." The skinny monkey laughed.
