Huo Yinjuan snorted coldly and said, "As the Princess Consort of Jin, what is wrong with me doing things for my husband?"

Despite saying this, Huo Yinjuan seemed very unsure of herself.

Chen Xuan had already figured out Huo Yinjuan's thoughts.

Knowing all the grievances Huo Yinjuan had suffered in the Prince of Jin's mansion over the years.

This is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to sow discord.

"Prince Jin used to be so spirited and ambitious, perhaps worthy of the Princess's devotion. But since his leg ailment, his personality has changed drastically. He wears exotic clothing, keeps male concubines, and neglects the Princess. Since he has changed, why should the Princess persist?"

These words were like a knife piercing Huo Yinjuan's heart. She still said coldly, "No matter what he becomes, he is still my husband. You don't need to say more about this."

"Do you think that even if the Prince of Jin successfully ascends the throne, his consort will be able to become Empress? I've heard that the Prince of Jin has countless handsome men around him, who are deeply favored by him. At that time, I'm afraid the Empress of Great Jin will be reduced to a man, causing Great Jin to be ridiculed by all the nations of the world!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yinjuan's expression changed drastically.

She and the Prince of Jin no longer had any marital affection, and the only reason they maintained this relationship was because of this.

The main reason is that she was able to become the Empress of Jin after the Prince of Jin ascended the throne.

The Huo family is also capable of becoming the most powerful maternal relatives.

"Even though there is no longer any affection between us, considering the people and the foundation of the nation, the Prince of Jin will certainly not make a male concubine his empress."

Chen Xuan gave a bitter smile. "Even now, the princess is still defending him. Prince Jin has long lost trust in you. How could he possibly make you his heir? Think about it carefully. He has the support of the civil officials and aristocratic groups like Zhang Xianzhao behind him. These officials will naturally clear his name. So you are just being wishful."

Huo Yinjuan gradually lost confidence, and her expression became serious.

Chen Xuan's words were not without reason. Given Chen Heng's current obsession with pederasty, he could indeed do it.

"That's a story for later. Given how incompetent Prince Jin is, do you think he'll actually ascend the throne? I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his title!"

"The Princess Consort should know how Prince Jin fell from the position of Crown Prince to Prince Jin, and how he became a Prince of the County. If it weren't for the witchcraft incident, how could he have regained his title?"

"The power struggles in the Great Jin Dynasty are something the Princess Consort should understand. If one day the Prince of Jin loses to me, do you think the Princess Consort can protect herself? Can she protect the Huo family behind her?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yinjuan's heart trembled.

The confidence in Chen Xuan's eyes filled her with immense fear.

These women from prominent families were not afraid of being implicated, but rather worried that their families would be doomed because they had chosen the wrong side.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to join your side?" Huo Yinjuan frowned, her face grave.

"Otherwise what? Does the Princess have any other choice now? Think about it, has he touched you since he became ill? The Princess is still young. Does she want to live a lonely life and ruin the future of her family?"

Chen Xuan had already seized the initiative and was advancing step by step.

"Sister, please carefully consider what the King of Qin said."

Huo Meijuan thought Chen Xuan's words made a lot of sense, and felt that it would be better to seek refuge with the King of Qin and choose a reliable patron.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yinjuan's heart trembled. Huo Meijuan had now sided with Chen Xuan.

If I insist on this, the sisters will be locked in a life-or-death struggle in the future.

This was clearly not what Huo Yinjuan wanted to see.

"As long as the Princess is willing to help me, I guarantee that the Huo family will not be subject to any repercussions once Prince Jin falls. Of course, the choice is up to the Princess."

Chen Xuan's nonchalant attitude intensified his sense of urgency, and he directly passed the ball to Huo Yinjuan.

Huo Yinjuan invited Chen Xuan to Qinglian Yaju this time because she wanted to control him.

But now it seems that he has been completely controlled by this bastard.

"Can you keep your word?" Huo Yinjuan asked.

"Meijuan is my woman now, so of course I keep my word. Besides, I, Chen Xuan, never let down those who have helped me!" Chen Xuan said calmly.

After much deliberation, Huo Yinjuan seemed to have made up her mind, and knelt prostrate before Chen Xuan: "Yinjuan is willing to pledge allegiance to His Highness Prince Qin."

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan was overjoyed and quickly embraced the two women. "That's more like it! With you two sisters assisting me, what can the Prince of Jin do to fight me?"

Now that the two women have submitted, Chen Xuan only wants to get some information from them about the Prince of Jin's countermeasures.

"Does Your Highness know who Prince Jin plans to send to assassinate the Ninth Prince this time?" Chen Xuan's gaze fell on Huo Yinjuan.

Huo Yinjuan frowned and said, "It's said that person was recommended by Chen Zhi. She's a female assassin from Xiliang named Xia Ying, who once worked under the King of Qin. Chen Zhi's idea is simple: to use someone connected to the King of Qin to smear you!"

"Who has Xia Ying been mainly in contact with during this period?" Chen Xuan asked.

"He was introduced by Chen Zhi, so naturally he is in contact with Chen Zhi and is already Chen Zhi's loyal follower. It is said that Chen Zhi had previously harbored ambitions to become the crown prince and had already begun to set up a scheme to deal with the various princes a long time ago," Huo Yinjuan replied.

Chen Xuan nodded. In fact, back at Lido Tower, Chen Xuan had already noticed that Chen Zhi was very ambitious.

The frustrating thing is that it was the Seventh Prince who orchestrated this.

It's possible to get rid of Chen Zhi in this way.

However, it would be very difficult to overthrow the Prince of Jin.

"I know, I'm a little hungry." Chen Xuan stood up, deciding in his heart to get rid of Chen Zhi first. After all, this guy had always been eyeing his wife, which Chen Xuan found extremely disgusting.

"I'll go and have someone prepare right away," Huo Yinjuan said.

"No rush, Your Highness. Did Bai Huanhuan betray me willingly?"

Chen Xuan is vengeful, and since Bai Huanhuan betrayed him, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Yes, I didn't know about this before. It was Bai Huanhuan who came to Qinglian Yaju and told me about it. That's when I started to plot against the Prince!" Huo Yinjuan told Chen Xuan the whole story.

Chen Xuan slammed his fist on the table.

"This vile woman, since you're so despicable, I'll make you despicable for life."

Huo Yinjuan was meticulous. When she heard Chen Xuan say this, she knew that Chen Xuan wanted to make a move against Bai Huanhuan.

"Your Highness, the Vice Minister of Works has long known that Bai Huanhuan is keeping a lover outside the home and has long been disgusted with her. However, he is hesitant to divorce her directly for the sake of the family's reputation!"

"If she were to mysteriously disappear at this point, it would be a great thing for the Vice Minister of Works. Perhaps I should arrange for Bai Huanhuan to leave the city. At that time, Your Highness can prepare men, and once she falls into Your Highness's hands, how she is dealt with will be entirely up to you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but show his appreciation for Huo Yinjuan.

This woman offered her advice efficiently and effectively.

With such an assistant, how could he possibly lose to Chen Heng?

"Let's do as the Princess says. I'll go back and prepare the necessary personnel right away!"

Chen Xuan looked at Huo Yinjuan, a wicked glint in his eyes.
