My Princess Has Been Reborn Chapter 64.1

Chapter 64.1 – Spring Wind Pavilion

Two days after Qi Yang went to the Eastern Palace to see the Crown Prince, he went to the northern border with the new commander-in-chief that the royal court appointed.

Qi Yang was very worried about it, afraid that the disaster in the past life would fall upon him again. But there were some things that she couldn't stop, so she could only repeatedly tell the Crown Prince to be careful, and even went to the Emperor herself to ask for more guards to accompany him.

The Emperor had no dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince, so naturally he was also very concerned. Without needing Qi Yang's advice, he had already sent a lot of additional guards with him. Compared with when the Third Prince left the capital a few months ago, the difference in treatment really could make people doubt that the latter was not his own son.

“I'm still worried after all.” Qi Yang sat in front of the window facing the late at the House of Happiness, looking sideways at the hazy autumn rain that was falling outside. “You might not know, but in the previous life Royal Brother had an accident happen to him in the northern border. There weren't any big battles happening back then; it was just a small conflict that happened while patrolling the road. His guards could not protect him, and his knee was shot through with an arrow.”

The Crown Prince's accident in the previous life happened too suddenly, and it only took around a year from when his leg became crippled until he died in depression. The Crown Prince's faction that was originally stable also fell apart in this short period of time.

Later on, Qi Yang became isolated and had no one to help her. This could also be said to be because of her Royal Brother's death.

In other words, Qi Yang didn't want anything to happen to the Crown Prince, both because of her feelings and also in terms of her own self-interest.

Lu Qipei quietly listened to Qi Yang talking about the Crown Prince's previous ending. She also felt sorry for a moment, and she finally said, “What happened to the Crown Prince last time is too much to be a coincidence. The Crown Prince's itinerary for the border inspection would've been kept a secret, and the area he went to would've been investigated clearly. But he still so coincidentally encountered an enemy attack, and someone also broke through the guards and shot him in the leg.”

Qi Yang turned to look at Lu Qipei and nodded, “I also thought so, but back then, the condition became chaotic due to Royal Brother's injury. Later on, Royal Father sent some people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything.”

Now, they were both standing outside the scenario, and knew who the culprits were in advance. When they looked at what happened in the previous life again, they could get a better look at the situation from a third party's eyes.

Compared with the Crown Prince that was carefully educated by the Emperor, although the Third Prince was supported by his mother's family and had a strong influence in the royal court, he ultimately didn't have enough capabilities to back his ambition and couldn't enter the stage at all.

If you had to choose a future opponent, the Third Prince was definitely much better than the Crown Prince.

Lu Qipei's heart felt a little heavy, and her gaze at Qi Yang turned a little cautious.

Qi Yang noticed the change in her expression and glared at her, saying angrily, “Why are you giving me such a look?”

From her reaction, Lu Qipei knew that Qi Yang wasn't venting her anger. She relaxed a little and smiled again, “Nothing, I'm just afraid that you were getting worried.” She continued, “But you and I are now half a foot outside the chess game. Since you know what the other party is trying to do, you might still be able to do something.”

Qi Yang raised her eyebrows and waited for Lu Qipei to continue. In fact, if it wasn't due to Lu Qipei's identity, the best course of action would be to tell the Crown Prince about Xie Yuan directly, so he would not get caught unprepared.

Lu Qipei rubbed the teacup with her slender fingers – she didn't feel any emotional burden at all helping Her Royal Highness plan against one of “her own people”. “The war in the northern border is too far away from us, and Ah Ning probably won't be able to put your people in the army in such a short time, so we can't get involved directly in this matter.”

“However, Xie Yuan has been planning this for many years. Although he is thousands of miles away, he definitely has a lot of news channel in the capital…”

Qi Yang heard this sentence and immediately understood what Lu Qipei was getting at, “You mean we should spread some false news to him?”

Lu Qipei picked up her teacup and drank her tea without saying anything – there was a saying that water far away cannot quench thirst happening here, but Xie Yuan was undoubtedly a sensitive person. But she and Qi Yang was reborn to this life, and the changes they had made had already caused a lot of Xie Yuan's plans in this life to change.

What if there were even bigger changes? What if the situation didn't go the way he planned? Would he still be able to continue this all-out war then?

Qi Yang's mind was no slower than Lu Qipei's, and she had already begun thinking about countermeasures. At the same time, she said in a low voice, “Let's discuss what news to Xie Yuan later. As for how to spread the news quietly…”

A name immediately appeared on Qi Yang's mind, and she suddenly understood why Lu Qipei was being so quiet right now.

“The Spring Wind Pavilion, was it really the Lu family's property!?” Her Royal Highness The Princess asked quietly, still holding her cup of tea.

“Cough, cough, cough…” A series of coughs sounded. It sounded harsh, but also a little fake…

Author notes:

Qi Yang (ghostly look): Sure enough, I wouldn't let you go to a brothel, so you just went and run one, huh?

Lu Qipei (innocent look): I'm not, I didn't! I'll sell it off later!
