Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed. "Third Brother really is persistent."
"He's blinded by lust." Chu Liexuan said helplessly. "No one can talk him out of it."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Does Second Brother have any ideas?"
"Let me think... let me think..." Chu Liexuan muttered, rising to pace back and forth.
Zhu Yijing and Li Ningcui watched him.
They greatly welcomed Chu Zhiyuan bringing Chu Liexuan over.
Sooner or later, Chu Zhiyuan would leave the imperial capital for the Phoenix Dynasty. Once he left, Thousand Mechanisms Tower would likely become a target for all.
With Chu Liexuan here, Thousand Mechanisms Tower would be secure.
This Second Prince had an excellent reputation, and besides, he had been chosen by the Ninth Prince.
Chu Liexuan muttered under his breath, "This Third Brother, he really is blinded by lust..."
He looked up at Chu Zhiyuan. "How about we tell Father Emperor?"
Chu Zhiyuan gave a cold laugh.
Chu Liexuan said helplessly, "Father Emperor is still very fair."
"Fair?" Chu Zhiyuan said. "As long as it doesn't involve me, Father Emperor is fair."
A helpless look appeared on Chu Liexuan's face. He shook his head. "Sigh... difficult!"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Difficult or not, we still need to find a way to deal with Third Brother. Otherwise, there will definitely be no peace in the days ahead."
Chu Liexuan paced a few more steps, then finally stopped. He said bitterly, "We can only hit him with something ruthless."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "How?"
He did not place much hope in Chu Liexuan's wisdom. Those who talked much and brimmed with enthusiasm often had little strategy.
"Make public his plan to replace you. Let the entire Imperial Court know."
"He doesn't care about that."
"Then say that he... colluded with the Evil Sect!" Chu Liexuan snorted.
