486 Reassure the Old Emperor

What could he do? Could he last a round against Qian Jiyun?

“But it seems like Prince De wants you to accompany him.” The servant was also worried.

Prince De wanted Prince Jian Xun to accompany him and made it sound like he had no choice but to go. He sugarcoated his words, claiming that Prince Jian Xun was the closest to him and that if they went to the southern border together, he would be able to assist him.

But who knew if Jian Xun would be there to assist or take the blame for him?

!!
The servant broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the consequences. He was frightened.

“Do you want to tell Princess Imperial? She might be able to help you…”

“Shut up!” Jian Xun was about to cry because of this servant’s stupidity.

He would give his mother exactly what she wanted if he told her. She was worried that she would not be able to find an opportunity to make him Prince De’s bootlicker.

How could his mother not seize this opportunity that had fallen from the sky?

It did not matter if one son died—she had many sons anyway. He had understood this since he was young. Hence, he had been cautious all these years.

However, one careless move and he still ended up as a chess piece in someone else’s hands.

He sighed heavily, unsure of what to do.

He knew very well that he could not escape from this trip to the southern border.

He could only take things one step at a time and see what kind of support his mother would give him. Only then could he survive on the southern border.

The servant did not know what he was thinking and could only ask, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”

“Let’s return to the residence.”

What else could he do? He had to quickly mention this to his mother so she could plan ahead.

Prince De’s move was too ruthless.

He was unsure if Prince De had done this on purpose or if he had genuinely believed it would be safer if he accompanied him to the southern border.

If the latter, everything would be fine; but if the former, he could not imagine what he would encounter when he reached the southern border. He would probably wish he was dead.

…

It was soon decided that Jian Xun would accompany Prince De to the southern border.

When Qian Jiyun received the news, they had already set off in the middle of the night. The old Emperor wanted to give Qian Jiyun no time to react.

The Princess Imperial had made numerous arrangements for Jian Xun. She also wielded some power along the southern border. Although her influence was little, she had given Jian Xun instructions to devise strategies there.

Qian Jiyun said nothing.

On the other hand, An Jiuyue, who had been lying on the bed under Qian Jiyun’s watch, smiled.

“Do you want Prince De to go to the southern border so badly?” she asked Qian Jiyun.

Qian Jiyun did not attend the morning court assembly for the past two days. He seemed to be throwing a tantrum over the old Emperor sending Prince De to the southern border.

The old Emperor could not do anything about Qian Jiyun’s abnormal “emotions”. He was also powerless against him.

However, he did not want Qian Jiyun to attend the morning court assembly to learn more about what was happening in the imperial court anyway.

Hence, the old Emperor did not blame Qian Jiyun for skipping the morning court assembly. Instead, he was delighted.

“There needs to be someone there who can reassure the old Emperor,” Qian Jiyun said bluntly.

It used to be Prince Lei Ting, but he was disloyal toward the Emperor and only wanted to expand his influence.
